約書亞記 13

1 若蘇厄年紀已老，上主對他說：「你年紀已老，但還有廣大的地區應當佔領。

Joshua was old and advanced in age, and the Lord said to him: “You have grown old, and are aged, and a very wide land remains, which has not yet been divided by lot,

2 還應佔領的地區：是培肋舍特人的整個地區，和革叔爾人的全境；

specifically, all of Galilee, Philistia, and all of Geshur;

3 由埃及東方的史革爾人的全境，到北方的厄刻龍的邊界，這是屬客納罕人的區；那五個培肋舍特酋長所管轄的迦薩人、阿市多得人、阿市刻隆人、加特人和厄刻龍人地區，以南方的阿威人地區；

from the muddy river, which irrigates Egypt, as far as the border of Ekron toward the north, the land of Canaan, which is divided among the rulers of Philistia: the Gazites, and the Ashdodites, the Ashkelonites, the Gathites, and the Ekronites;

4 遇客納罕人的全境，即由漆東人的阿辣，直到阿費克，而直到阿摩黎人的邊界地區；

truly, to the south are the Hivites, all the land of Canaan, and Mearah of the Sidonians, as far as Aphek and the borders of the Amorite

5 還有革巴耳人的地區，及東方的整個黎巴嫩區，由赫爾孟山麓巴耳加得，直到哈瑪特關口。

and his confines; also, the region of Lebanon toward the east, from Baalgad, under mount Hermon, until you enter into Hamath;

6 從黎巴嫩直到西方的米斯勒佛特瑪殷，所有住在山地的居民，所有的漆東人，我必從以色列民子面前，把他們趕走。你只管照我指示，將這地區抽籤分給以色列人作為產業。

all who live in the mountains from Lebanon, as far as the waters of Misrephoth, and all the Sidonians. I am the One who will wipe them out, before the face of the sons of Israel. Therefore, let their land become a part of the inheritance of Israel, just as I have instructed you.

7 現在你要這九地區分九支派和默納協半支派作為產業。」

And now, divide the land as a possession to the nine tribes, and to the one half tribe of Manasseh.”

8 默納協另半支派和勒烏本並加得二支派，已經得了梅瑟在約旦河東岸分給他們的產業；按上主的僕人梅瑟分給他們的產業，

With them, Reuben and Gad have possessed the land, which Moses, the servant of the Lord, delivered to them beyond the river Jordan, on the eastern side:

9 是從阿爾農谷旁的阿洛厄爾起，包括谷中的城邑，全默爾巴高原，直到狄朋；

from Aroer, which is situated on the bank of the torrent Arnon and in the midst of the valley, and all the plains of Medeba, as far as Dibon;

10 還有在赫市朋為王的阿摩黎人王息紅所有的城市，直到阿孟子民的邊疆；

and all the cities of Sihon, the king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, even to the borders of the sons of Ammon;

11 還有基肋阿得和革叔爾人與阿加人的領土，以及全赫爾孟山，全巴商，一直到撒耳加；

and Gilead, as well as the borders of Geshur and Maacati, and all of mount Hermon, and all of Bashan, as far as Salecah;

12 又巴商王敖格的全國領土，他原是勒法因人最後的遺族，在阿市塔洛特和厄德勒為王。這些地方的人，都被梅瑟擊敗趕走了。

the entire kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned at Ashtaroth and Edrei, (he was among the last of the Rephaim). And Moses struck and destroyed them.

13 以色列子民郤沒有趕走革叔爾人和瑪阿加人，因此革叔爾和瑪阿加人直到? 直到現在仍住在以色列人中間。

And the sons of Israel were not willing to destroy Geshur and Maacati, and so they have lived in the midst of Israel, even to the present day.

14 惟有肋未沒有分得產業，因為上主以色列的天主自己是他們的產業，有如上主對他們所說的。

But to the tribe of Levi, he did not give a possession. Instead, the sacrifices and victims of the Lord, the God of Israel, these are his inheritance, just as he spoke to him.

15 梅瑟給勒烏本支派，按照他們的家族，分了一份產業。

Therefore, Moses gave a possession to the tribe of the sons of Reuben, according to their families.

16 他們的地區，是從阿爾農谷旁的阿洛厄爾，包括中谷的城邑，直到默德巴整個高原。

And their border was from Aroer, which is situated on the bank of the torrent Arnon, and in the midst of the valley of the same torrent, with all the flatlands that lead to Medeba;

17 赫市朋和在這高原所有的城市：狄朋、巴摩特巴爾、貝特巴爾默紅、

and Heshbon, and all their villages, which are in the plains; also Dibon, and Bamothbaal, and the town of Baalmeon,

18 雅哈茲、刻德摩特、默法阿特、

and Jahaz, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,

19 刻黎雅塔因、息貝瑪、山中盆地的責勒特沙哈爾、

and Kiriathaim, and Sibmah, and Zereth-shahar on the mountain of the steep valley;

20 貝特培敖爾、丕斯加山坡、貝特耶史摩特、

Bethpeor, and the descending slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth;

21 高原上各城市，和在赫市朋為王的阿摩黎人王息紅的整個國土。梅瑟曾殺了 息紅和住在那個上的息紅藩屬，米德揚的酋長：厄威、勒狄、族爾、胡爾和勒巴。

and all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdoms of Sihon, the king of the Amorites, who reigned at Heshbon, whom Moses struck down with the leaders of Midian: Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the commanders of Sihon, inhabitants of the land.

22 以色列子民殺這些人時，也用刀殺了貝敖爾的兒子巴郎術士。

And the sons of Israel killed Balaam, the son of Beor, the seer, with the sword, along with the others who were slain.

23 勒烏本子孫的地區以約旦河為界：以上是勒烏本子孫按照家族，分得作為產業的城市和所屬的村鎮。

And the river Jordan was made the border of the sons of Reuben; this is the possession of the Reubenites, by their families, in cities and villages.

24 梅瑟按照他們的家族，給加得支派，給加得子孫，分得了一份產業。

And Moses gave to the tribe of Gad and his sons, by their families, a possession, of which this is the division:

25 他們的地區是雅則爾，基肋阿得所有的城邑和阿孟人的一半土地，直到勒巴對面的阿洛厄爾；

the border of Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and one half part of the land of the sons of Ammon, as far as Aroer, which is opposite Rabbah;

26 又從赫市朋直到勒瑪特米茲帕和貝特尼，從瑪哈納殷到羅德巴爾的邊境；

and from Heshbon as far as Ramath, Mizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim as far as the borders of Debir;

27 還有谷中盆地的貝特哈蘭、貝特尼默辣、穌苛特、匝豐、赫市朋王息紅國中的其餘土地；以約旦河為界，沿約旦河東岸直到基乃勒特海的頂端：

also, in the valley Beth-haram and Beth-nimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the remaining part of the kingdom of Sihon, the king of Heshbon; the limit of this also is the Jordan, as far as the furthest part of the sea of Chinnereth, beyond the Jordan on the eastern side.

28 以上是加得子孫按照家族，得作為產業的城市和所屬的村鎮。

This is the possession of the sons of Gad, by their families, in their cities and villages.

29 梅瑟也給默納協半支派，給默納協半支派子孫，按照他們的家族，分了一份產業。

He also gave, to the one half tribe of Manasseh and to his sons, a possession according to their families,

30 他們的地區是起自哈瑪納殷，包括全部巴商，即巴商王敖格的全部國土，巴商境內屬雅依爾的各村莊，共計六十村莊；

the beginning of which is this: from Mahanaim, all of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Og, the king of Bashan, and all the villages of Jair, which are in Bashan, sixty towns;

31 還有基肋阿得的一半和家族和敖格在巴商的都城阿市塔洛特和厄德勒：以上地區按照家族，分給了默納協的兒子瑪基爾的子孫，即瑪基爾的一半子孫。

and one half part of Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, the cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, to the sons of Machir, the son of Manasseh, to one half part of the sons of Machir, according to their families.

32 以上是梅瑟在約旦河東岸，耶利哥面對摩阿布曠野裏，所劃分的產業。

Moses divided this possession, in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan, opposite Jericho on the eastern side.

33 至於肋未支派，梅瑟沒有給他們分配產業，因為上主以色列的天主自己是他們的產業，有如上主對他們所說的。

But to the tribe of Levi he did not give a possession. For the Lord, the God of Israel, is himself their possession, just as he spoke to him.
