< يَشُوع 18 >

وَٱجْتَمَعَ كُلُّ جَمَاعَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي شِيلُوهَ وَنَصَبُوا هُنَاكَ خَيْمَةَ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ، وَأُخْضِعَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ قُدَّامَهُمْ. ١ 1
The land had been subdued and lay before them. The Israelites gathered together at Shiloh and set up the Tent of Meeting.
وَبَقِيَ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِمَّنْ لَمْ يَقْسِمُوا نَصِيبَهُمْ، سَبْعَةُ أَسْبَاطٍ. ٢ 2
However, seven of the Israelite tribes had not received their land allocations.
فَقَالَ يَشُوعُ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: «حَتَّى مَتَى أَنْتُمْ مُتَرَاخُونَ عَنِ ٱلدُّخُولِ لِٱمْتِلَاكِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَاكُمْ إِيَّاهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ آبَائِكُمْ؟ ٣ 3
So Joshua asked the Israelites, “How long will you go on being reluctant to go and take possession of the land that the Lord gave your forefathers?
هَاتُوا ثَلَاثَةَ رِجَالٍ مِنْ كُلِّ سِبْطٍ فَأُرْسِلَهُمْ فَيَقُومُوا وَيَسِيرُوا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ وَيَكْتُبُوهَا بِحَسَبِ أَنْصِبَتِهِمْ، ثُمَّ يَأْتُوا إِلَيَّ. ٤ 4
Choose three men from each tribe and I will send them out to explore the land. Then they can write a description regarding the land allocations and bring it to me.
وَلْيَقْسِمُوهَا إِلَى سَبْعَةِ أَقْسَامٍ، فَيُقِيمُ يَهُوذَا عَلَى تُخْمِهِ مِنَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ، وَيُقِيمُ بَيْتُ يُوسُفَ عَلَى تُخْمِهِمْ مِنَ ٱلشِّمَالِ. ٥ 5
They are to divide the land into seven parts, up to the boundary of Judah's land in the south and Joseph's land in the north.
وَأَنْتُمْ تَكْتُبُونَ ٱلْأَرْضَ سَبْعَةَ أَقْسَامٍ، ثُمَّ تَأْتُونَ إِلَيَّ هُنَا فَأُلْقِي لَكُمْ قُرْعَةً هَهُنَا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا. ٦ 6
Once you have written the description the land, dividing it in seven parts, you will bring it to me here and I will cast lots for you in the presence of the Lord our God.
لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ لِلَّاوِيِّينَ قِسْمٌ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ، لِأَنَّ كَهَنُوتَ ٱلرَّبِّ هُوَ نَصِيبُهُمْ. وَجَادُ وَرَأُوبَيْنُ وَنِصْفُ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى قَدْ أَخَذُوا نَصِيبَهُمْ فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ نَحْوَ ٱلشُّرُوقِ، ٱلَّذِي أَعْطَاهُمْ إِيَّاهُ مُوسَى عَبْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ». ٧ 7
But the Levites do not receive a share, for their role as priests of the Lord is their allocation. Also, Gad, Reuben, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have already received their allocation that Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave them on the east side of the Jordan.”
فَقَامَ ٱلرِّجَالُ وَذَهَبُوا. وَأَوْصَى يَشُوعُ ٱلذَّاهِبِينَ لِكِتَابَةِ ٱلْأَرْضِ قَائِلًا: «اِذْهَبُوا وَسِيرُوا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱكْتُبُوهَا، ثُمَّ ٱرْجِعُوا إِلَيَّ فَأُلْقِي لَكُمْ هُنَا قُرْعَةً أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي شِيلُوهَ». ٨ 8
As the men started out on their way to explore the land. Joshua told them, “Go throughout the land and write a description of what you find. Then return to me and I will cast lots for you in the presence of the Lord here in Shiloh.”
فَسَارَ ٱلرِّجَالُ وَعَبَرُوا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ وَكَتَبُوهَا حَسَبَ ٱلْمُدُنِ سَبْعَةَ أَقْسَامٍ فِي سِفْرٍ، ثُمَّ جَاءُوا إِلَى يَشُوعَ إِلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ فِي شِيلُوهَ. ٩ 9
So the men went and explored the land and wrote down on a scroll a description of the seven parts, recording the towns in each part. Then they returned to Joshua at the camp in Shiloh
فَأَلْقَى لَهُمْ يَشُوعُ قُرْعَةً فِي شِيلُوهَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَهُنَاكَ قَسَمَ يَشُوعُ ٱلْأَرْضَ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ حَسَبَ فِرَقِهِمْ. ١٠ 10
where Joshua cast lots for them in the presence of the Lord. There Joshua divided the land up and allotted the different parts to the remaining Israelite tribes.
وَطَلَعَتْ قُرْعَةُ سِبْطِ بَنِي بَنْيَامِينَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ، وَخَرَجَ تُخْمُ قُرْعَتِهِمْ بَيْنَ بَنِي يَهُوذَا وَبَنِي يُوسُفَ: ١١ 11
The first lot cast went to the tribe of Benjamin, by families. The land allotted lay between that of the tribe of Judah and the tribe of Joseph.
وَكَانَ تُخْمُهُمْ مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلشِّمَالِ مِنَ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ. وَصَعِدَ ٱلتُّخْمُ إِلَى جَانِبِ أَرِيحَا مِنَ ٱلشِّمَالِ وَصَعِدَ فِي ٱلْجَبَلِ غَرْبًا، وَكَانَتْ مَخَارِجُهُ عْنْدَ بَرِّيَّةِ بَيْتِ آوِنَ. ١٢ 12
Their boundary began at the Jordan, and went north of the slope of Jericho, west through the hill country, coming out at the wilderness of Beth-aven.
وَعَبَرَ ٱلتُّخْمُ مِنْ هُنَاكَ إِلَى لُوزَ، إِلَى جَانِبِ لُوزَ ٱلْجَنُوبِيِّ، هِيَ بَيْتُ إِيلَ، وَنَزَلَ ٱلتُّخْمُ إِلَى عَطَارُوتِ إِدَّارَ عَلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ ٱلَّذِي إِلَى جَنُوبِ بَيْتِ حُورُونَ ٱلسُّفْلَى. ١٣ 13
Then the boundary went south to Luz (or Bethel) and on down to Ataroth-addar on the mountain south of Lower Beth-horon.
وَٱمْتَدَّ ٱلتُّخْمُ وَدَارَ إِلَى جِهَةِ ٱلْغَرْبِ جَنُوبًا مِنَ ٱلْجَبَلِ ٱلَّذِي مُقَابِلَ بَيْتِ حُورُونَ جَنُوبًا. وَكَانَتْ مَخَارِجُهُ عِنْدَ قَرْيَةِ بَعْلٍ، هِيَ قَرْيَةُ يَعَارِيمَ. مَدِينَةٌ لِبَنِي يَهُوذَا. هَذِهِ هِيَ جِهَةُ ٱلْغَرْبِ. ١٤ 14
Here the boundary turned south along the western side of the mountain facing Beth-horon, finishing at Kiriath-baal (or Kiriath-jearim), a town of the tribe of Judah. This was the western boundary.
وَجِهَةُ ٱلْجَنُوبِ هِيَ أَقْصَى قَرْيَةِ يَعَارِيمَ. وَخَرَجَ ٱلتُّخْمُ غَرْبًا وَخَرَجَ إِلَى مَنْبَعِ مِيَاهِ نَفْتُوحَ. ١٥ 15
The southern boundary began at the edge of Kiriath-jearim. It ran to the spring at Nephtoah,
وَنَزَلَ ٱلتُّخْمُ إِلَى طَرَفِ ٱلْجَبَلِ ٱلَّذِي مُقَابِلَ وَادِي ٱبْنِ هِنُّومَ ٱلَّذِي فِي وَادِي ٱلرَّفَائِيِّينَ شِمَالًا، وَنَزَلَ إِلَى وَادِي هِنُّومَ إِلَى جَانِبِ ٱلْيَبُوسِيِّينَ مِنَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ، وَنَزَلَ إِلَى عَيْنِ رُوجَلَ. ١٦ 16
and then down to the foot of the mountain that faces the valley of Ben-hinnom, at the north end of the valley of Rephaim. Then it went down the valley of Hinnom, along the slope near the Jebusite town, south towards En-rogel.
وَٱمْتَدَّ مِنَ ٱلشِّمَالِ وَخَرَجَ إِلَى عَيْنِ شَمْسٍ، وَخَرَجَ إِلَى جَلِيلُوتَ ٱلَّتِي مُقَابِلَ عَقَبَةِ أَدُمِّيمَ، وَنَزَلَ إِلَى حَجَرِ بُوهَنَ بْنِ رَأُوبَيْنَ. ١٧ 17
From there it headed north to En-shemesh and on to Geliloth, opposite the heights of Adummim, and then on down to the Stone of Bohan (Reuben's son).
وَعَبَرَ إِلَى ٱلْكَتِفِ مُقَابِلَ ٱلْعَرَبَةِ شِمَالًا، وَنَزَلَ إِلَى ٱلْعَرَبَةِ. ١٨ 18
Then it went along the ridge opposite the Jordan Valley to the north, and then down into the Jordan Valley itself.
وَعَبَرَ ٱلتُّخْمُ إِلَى جَانِبِ بَيْتِ حُجْلَةَ شِمَالًا. وَكَانَتْ مَخَارِجُ ٱلتُّخْمِ عِنْدَ لِسَانِ بَحْرِ ٱلْمِلْحِ شِمَالًا إِلَى طَرَفِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ جَنُوبًا. هَذَا هُوَ تُخْمُ ٱلْجَنُوبِ. ١٩ 19
From there it ran along the north slope of Beth-hoglah, ending at the north bay of the Salt Sea, the southern end of the Jordan. This was the southern boundary.
وَٱلْأُرْدُنُّ يَتْخُمُهُ مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلشَّرْقِ. فَهَذَا هُوَ نَصِيبُ بَنِي بَنْيَامِينَ مَعَ تُخُومِهِ مُسْتَدِيرًا حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ. ٢٠ 20
The eastern boundary was the Jordan. These were the boundaries around the land of the tribe of Benjamin, by families.
وَكَانَتْ مُدُنُ سِبْطِ بَنِي بَنْيَامِينَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ: أَرِيحَا وَبَيْتَ حُجْلَةَ وَوَادِي قَصِيصَ، ٢١ 21
These were the towns of the tribe of Benjamin, according to families: Jericho, Beth-hoglah, Emek-keziz,
وَبَيْتَ ٱلْعَرَبَةِ وَصَمَارَايِمَ وَبَيْتَ إِيلَ، ٢٢ 22
Beth-arabah, Zemaraim, Bethel,
وَٱلْعَوِّيمَ وَٱلْفَارَةَ وَعَفْرَةَ، ٢٣ 23
Avvim, Parah, Ophrah,
وَكَفْرَ ٱلْعَمُّونِيِّ وَٱلْعُفْنِي وَجَبَعَ، سِتَّ عَشَرَةَ مَدِينَةً مَعَ ضِيَاعِهَا. ٢٤ 24
Kephar-ammoni, Ophni, and Geba—twelve towns with their associated villages.
جِبْعُونَ وَٱلرَّامَةَ وَبَئِيرُوتَ، ٢٥ 25
In addition: Gibeon, Ramah, Beeroth,
وَٱلْمِصْفَاةَ وَٱلْكَفِيرَةَ وَٱلْمُوصَةَ، ٢٦ 26
Mizpah, Kephirah, Mozah,
وَرَاقَمَ وَيَرَفْئِيلَ وَتَرَالَةَ، ٢٧ 27
Rekem, Irpeel, Taralah,
وَصَيْلَعَ وَآلفَ وَٱلْيَبُوسِيَّ، هِيَ أُورُشَلِيمُ، وَجِبْعَةَ وَقِرْيَةَ. أَرْبَعَ عَشَرَةَ مَدِينَةً مَعَ ضِيَاعِهَا. هَذَا هُوَ نَصِيبُ بَنِي بَنْيَامِينَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ. ٢٨ 28
Zela, Haeleph, Jebus (or Jerusalem), Gibeah, and Kiriath-jearim—fourteen towns with their associated villages. This was the land allotted to the tribe of Benjamin, by families.
