約書亞記 18
1 這地方即然已被征服，以色列子民的全會眾就都聚集到史羅，在那裏整起了會慕。
Then the whole assembly of the people of Israel met together at Shiloh. They set up the tent of meeting there and they conquered the land before them.
2 以色列子民中，還有七個支派沒有分到產業。
There were still seven tribes among the people of Israel whose inheritance had not been assigned.
3 若蘇厄對以色列子民說：「你們遲遲不去，承受上主你們祖先的天主賜與你們的土地，要到時候呢﹖
Joshua said to the people of Israel, “How long will you put off going into the land that Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, has given you?
4 你們應由每反派推選三人，我好派他們去走遍全境，按照各支派應得的產業，畫成圖樣，然後回來見我。
Appoint for yourselves three men from each tribe, and I will send them out. They will set out and survey the land up and down. They will write out a description of it with a view to their inheritances, and then they will come back to me.
5 他們應將那地分成七份，猶大保有自己在南方的土地，若瑟家族保有自己在北方的土地。
They will divide it into seven sections. Judah will remain in their territory on the south, and the house of Joseph will continue in their territory in the north.
6 你們應將那地畫成七份，把圖樣帶來見我，使我好在這裏，於上主我們的天主面前，為你們抽籤。
You will describe the land in seven sections and bring the description here to me. I will cast lots for you here before Yahweh our God.
7 肋未人在你們中間不應有產業，因為上主司祭的品位，就是他們的產業。至於加得、勒烏本和默納協和默納協半個支派，在約旦河東岸已分得了產業，那是上主的僕人梅瑟分給他們的。」
The Levites have no portion among you, for the priesthood of Yahweh is their inheritance. Gad, Reuben, and the half tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance, beyond Jordan. This is the inheritance that Moses the servant of Yahweh gave them.”
8 這些人準備出發時，若蘇厄吩咐這些去繪圖的人說：「你們去走遍這地，畫成圖樣，然後回來見我，我要在史羅在上主面前為你們抽籤。」
So the men got up and went. Joshua commanded those who went to write the description of the land, saying, “Go up and down in the land and write a description of it and return to me. I will cast lots for you here before Yahweh at Shiloh.”
9 這些人就去走遍全境，將所有城市分成七分，寫在書冊上，回到史羅營中呈給若蘇厄。
The men left and walked up and down in the land and wrote a description of it in a scroll by its cities in seven sections, listing the cities in each section. Then they returned to Joshua in the camp at Shiloh.
10 若蘇厄便在史羅於上主面前，為他們抽籤，在那裏按照他們的分法，將地畫分給了以色列子民。
Then Joshua cast lots for them at Shiloh before Yahweh. It was there that Joshua assigned the land to the people of Israel, and to each was given his portion of the land.
11 本雅明支派安他們的家族，抽籤分得的產業，是在猶大子孫和若瑟子孫中間。
The assignment of land for the tribe of Benjamin clan by clan. The territory of their assigned land was located between the descendants of Judah and the descendants of Joseph.
12 北邊邊界起自約旦河，沿耶利哥北邊的山坡往上，至西面山地，直達貝特阿文曠野；
On the north side, their border began at the Jordan. The border went up to the ridge north of Jericho, and then up through the hill country westward. There it reached the wilderness of Beth Aven.
13 再由此經路次，沿路即貝特耳南山坡下，下至阿塔洛特阿達爾，與在下貝特曷龍南部的山相接，
From there the border passed along south in the direction of Luz (the same place as Bethel). Then the border went down to Ataroth Addar, by the mountain that lies south of Beth Horon.
14 西邊的邊界由此轉彎，折向南方，由貝特曷龍對面的山向南折，直到猶大人的克黎雅特巴爾，即克黎雅特耶阿陵城：這是西界。
The boundary then went in another direction: On the western side it turned toward the south, heading toward the mountain across from Beth Horon. This boundary ended at Kiriath Baal (that is, Kiriath Jearim), a city that belonged to the tribe of Judah. This formed the border on the western side.
15 南界是從克黎雅特耶阿陵的邊界起，向加斤伸展，直到乃費托亞水泉；
The south side began just outside of Kiriath Jearim. The border went from there to Ephron, to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah.
16 由此往下直到位於勒法因不原北部，本希農山谷對面的山角；然後往下，經希農山谷，下至耶步斯人山腰南部，直到洛革耳泉；
The boundary then went down to the border of the mountain which was opposite the Valley of Ben Hinnom, which was at the northern end of the Valley of Rephaim. It then went down to the Valley of Hinnom, south of the slope of the Jebusites, and continued down to En Rogel.
17 由此轉北，出舍默士水泉，直至阿杜明山坡對面的革里羅特，再下至勒烏本人波罕的盤石；
It turned northward, going in the direction of En Shemesh, and from there it went out to Geliloth, which was opposite the ascent of Adummim. Then it went down to the Stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.
18 由此經貝特阿辣巴對面山腰的北部，直下到阿辣巴，
It passed on to the north of the shoulder of Beth Arabah and down to the Arabah.
19 再經貝特曷拉山脊向北，止於鹽海北端，約旦河南口，：這是南界。
The border passed on to the north shoulder of Beth Hoglah. The border ended at the north bay of the Salt Sea, at the southern end of the Jordan. This was the boundary on the south.
20 東邊以約旦河為界以上是本雅明子孫，按照家族，分得土地的四面邊界。
The Jordan formed its border on the eastern side. This was the inheritance of the tribe of Benjamin, and it was given clan by clan, border after border, all around.
21 本雅明支派子孫按照家族，分得的城市：有耶利哥、貝特曷革拉、厄默各刻漆茲、
Now the cities of the tribe of Benjamin, clan by clan, had these cities: Jericho, Beth Hoglah, Emek Keziz,
22 背叛貝特阿辣巴、責瑪辣因、貝特耳、

23 阿威、帕辣、敖斐辣、

24 革法爾阿摩尼、敖弗尼和革巴：共計十二座城和所屬村鎮。

25 基貝紅、辣瑪、貝洛特、
There were also the cities of Gibeon, Ramah, Beeroth,
26 米茲培、革非辣摩匝勒、
