Joshua 18

1 Then the whole congregation of Israel assembled at Shiloh and set up the Tent of Meeting there. And though the land was subdued before them,

1 征服了这些地方以后，以色列全体会众都聚集在示罗，把会幕设立在那里。

2 there were still seven tribes of Israel who had not yet received their inheritance.

2 这时，以色列还有七个支派没有分到产业。

3 So Joshua said to the Israelites, “How long will you put off entering and possessing the land that the LORD, the God of your fathers, has given you?

3 约书亚对他们说：“你们等到什么时候才去占领你们祖先的上帝耶和华赐给你们的土地呢？

4 Appoint three men from each tribe, and I will send them out to survey the land and map it out, according to the inheritance of each. Then they will return to me

4 你们每支派要派出三个人，我要差他们走遍那地，按各支派应得的土地绘制地图，然后回来禀告我。

5 and divide the land into seven portions. Judah shall remain in their territory in the south, and the house of Joseph shall remain in their territory in the north.

5 他们要把土地划分作七份。犹大要留在南部自己的领土上，约瑟家族要留在北部自己的领土上。

6 When you have mapped out the seven portions of land and brought it to me, I will cast lots for you here in the presence of the LORD our God.

6 你们把这七份土地绘成地图交给我，我要在我们的上帝耶和华面前为你们抽签。

7 The Levites, however, have no portion among you, because their inheritance is the priesthood of the LORD. And Gad, Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh have already received the inheritance that Moses the servant of the LORD gave them beyond the Jordan to the east.”

7 你们当中的利未人没有份，因为做耶和华的祭司这职任就是他们的产业。至于迦得支派、吕便支派和玛拿西半个支派，耶和华的仆人摩西已把约旦河东的土地分给他们了。”

8 As the men got up to go out, Joshua commanded them to map out the land, saying, “Go and survey the land, map it out, and return to me. Then I will cast lots for you here in Shiloh in the presence of the LORD.”

8 那些画地图的人启程出发的时候，约书亚嘱咐他们说：“你们要走遍那里，绘制地图，然后回来禀告我，我要在示罗，在耶和华面前为你们抽签。”

9 So the men departed and went throughout the land, mapping it city by city into seven portions. Then they returned with the document to Joshua at the camp in Shiloh.

9 于是，他们走遍那里，把所有城邑分作七份，绘在册上，然后回到示罗见约书亚。

10 And Joshua cast lots for them in the presence of the LORD at Shiloh, where he distributed the land to the Israelites according to their divisions.

10 约书亚便在示罗按照以色列的支派，在耶和华面前为他们抽签分地。

11 The first lot came up for the clans of the tribe of Benjamin. Their allotted territory lay between the tribes of Judah and Joseph:

11 便雅悯支派按宗族抽签分到的领土，坐落在犹大和约瑟支派的领土之间。

12 On the north side their border began at the Jordan, went up past the northern slope of Jericho, headed west through the hill country, and came out at the wilderness of Beth-aven.

12 他们北部的边界从约旦河起，沿耶利哥北面的山坡直上，往西穿过山区，直到伯·亚文的旷野；

13 From there the border crossed over to the southern slope of Luz (that is, Bethel) and went down to Ataroth-addar on the hill south of Lower Beth-horon.

13 从那里经路斯，即伯特利南面山坡到下伯·和仑南面山区的亚他录·亚达。

14 On the west side the border curved southward from the hill facing Beth-horon on the south and came out at Kiriath-baal (that is, Kiriath-jearim), a city of the sons of Judah. This was the western side.

14 西面的边界自伯·和仑对面山的西侧，向南直到犹大人的基列·巴力城，即基列·耶琳。

15 On the south side the border began at the outskirts of Kiriath-jearim and extended westward to the spring at the Waters of Nephtoah.

15 南部边界从基列·耶琳的边界开始，向西直到尼弗多亚的水泉，

16 Then it went down to the foot of the hill that faces the Valley of Ben-hinnom at the northern end of the Valley of Rephaim and ran down the Valley of Hinnom toward the southern slope of the Jebusites and downward to En-rogel.

16 又往下到欣嫩子谷对面的山麓，也就是利乏音谷北边，然后往南，经欣嫩谷到耶布斯的南坡，直到隐·罗结；

17 From there it curved northward and proceeded to En-shemesh and on to Geliloth facing the Ascent of Adummim, and continued down to the Stone of Bohan son of Reuben.

17 然后，向北先后到隐·示麦，亚都冥山坡对面的基利绿，吕便的儿子波罕所立的大石，

18 Then it went on to the northern slope of Beth-arabah and went down into the valley.

18 以及亚拉巴的对面，再往北下到亚拉巴；

19 The border continued to the northern slope of Beth-hoglah and came out at the northern bay of the Salt Sea, at the mouth of the Jordan. This was the southern border.

19 又沿着伯·曷拉的北面直到盐海的北岸，也就是约旦河的南部河口。这是南部的边界。

20 On the east side the border was the Jordan. These were the borders around the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Benjamin.

20 东面以约旦河为界。这是便雅悯人按宗族分到的土地四周的边界。

21 These were the cities of the clans of the tribe of Benjamin: Jericho, Beth-hoglah, Emek-keziz,

21 以下是便雅悯支派按宗族分到的城邑：耶利哥、伯·曷拉、伊麦·基悉、

22 Beth-arabah, Zemaraim, Bethel,

22 伯·亚拉巴、西玛莲、伯特利、

23 Avvim, Parah, Ophrah,

25 Gibeon, Ramah, Beeroth,

25 还有基遍、拉玛、比录、

28 洗拉、以利弗、耶布斯，即耶路撒冷、基比亚、基列，共十四座城及其附近的乡村。 这就是便雅悯各宗族所分到的土地。
