Joshua 18
1 The whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled themselves together at Shiloh, and set up the Tent of Meeting there. The land was subdued before them.
Sabrala se zajednica sinova Izraelovih u Šilo, i ondje razapeše Šator sastanka. Sva im se zemlja pokorila.
2 Seven tribes remained amongst the children of Israel, which had not yet divided their inheritance.
Ali ostade među sinovima Izraelovim još sedam plemena koja nisu primila svoje baštine.
3 Joshua said to the children of Israel, “How long will you neglect to go in to possess the land, which the LORD, the God of your fathers, has given you?
Tada im reče Jošua: “Dokle ćete oklijevati da pođete i zaposjednete zemlju koju vam je dao Jahve, Bog vaših otaca?
4 Appoint for yourselves three men from each tribe. I will send them, and they shall arise, walk through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance; then they shall come to me.
Izaberite po tri čovjeka iz svakoga plemena, a ja ću ih poslati da popišu svu zemlju za diobu. Kad se vrate k meni,
5 They shall divide it into seven portions. Judah shall live in his borders on the south, and the house of Joseph shall live in their borders on the north.
razdijelit ću zemlju na sedam dijelova. Neka Juda ostane na svome području na jugu, a Josipov dom neka ostane u svome kraju na sjeveru.
6 You shall survey the land into seven parts, and bring the description here to me; and I will cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.
A vi raspišite zemlju na sedam dijelova i donesite mi amo da bacim ždrijeb za vas ovdje pred Jahvom, Bogom našim.
7 However, the Levites have no portion amongst you; for the priesthood of the LORD is their inheritance. Gad, Reuben, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance east of the Jordan, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave them.”
Leviti neće imati dijela među vama jer je svećeništvo Jahvino njihova baština; a Gad, Ruben i polovina plemena Manašeova primili su svoju baštinu na istočnoj strani Jordana - onu koju im je dao Mojsije, sluga Jahvin.”
8 The men arose and went. Joshua commanded those who went to survey the land, saying, “Go walk through the land, survey it, and come again to me. I will cast lots for you here before the LORD in Shiloh.”
Spreme se ti ljudi na put, a Jošua zapovjedi onima koji su pošli popisati zemlju: “Idite i obiđite svu zemlju i opišite je, pa se onda vratite k meni da bacim ždrijeb ovdje pred Jahvom u Šilu.”
9 The men went and passed through the land, and surveyed it by cities into seven portions in a book. They came to Joshua to the camp at Shiloh.
Odoše oni ljudi, prođoše zemljom i u knjigu popisaše sve gradove u sedam dijelova, pa se vratiše k Jošui u tabor u Šilu.
10 Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD. There Joshua divided the land to the children of Israel according to their divisions.
A Jošua baci za njih ždrijeb u Šilu pred Jahvom i ondje razdijeli Jošua zemlju sinovima Izraelovim po njihovim dijelovima plemenskim.
11 The lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families. The border of their lot went out between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.
I pade ždrijeb na pleme sinova Benjaminovih po njihovim porodicama: utvrdi se da je njihov dio između dijela sinova Judinih i sinova Josipovih.
12 Their border on the north quarter was from the Jordan. The border went up to the side of Jericho on the north, and went up through the hill country westward. It ended at the wilderness of Beth Aven.
Sjeverna im se međa protezala od Jordana te išla uza sjeverni obronak Jerihona, uspinjala se sa zapada na goru i završavala se u pustinji Bet-Avenu.
13 The border passed along from there to Luz, to the side of Luz (also called Bethel), southward. The border went down to Ataroth Addar, by the mountain that lies on the south of Beth Horon the lower.
Odatle je išla k Luzu, k južnom obronku Luza, to jest Betela; spuštala se zatim u Atrot-Adar, kraj brda koje je južno od Donjeg Bet-Horona.
14 The border extended, and turned around on the west quarter southward, from the mountain that lies before Beth Horon southward; and ended at Kiriath Baal (also called Kiriath Jearim), a city of the children of Judah. This was the west quarter.
Međa se dalje savijala i okretala sa zapada prema jugu, od gore koja se diže nasuprot Bet-Horonu s juga, i svršavala se kod Kirjat Baala, danas Kirjat Jearima, grada sinova Judinih. To je zapadna strana.
15 The south quarter was from the farthest part of Kiriath Jearim. The border went out westward, and went out to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah.
Južna se strana počinjala od granice Kirjat Jearima, pa se pružala na zapad k vrelu Neftoahu;
16 The border went down to the farthest part of the mountain that lies before the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is in the valley of Rephaim northward. It went down to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite southward, and went down to En Rogel.
potom se spuštala međa do kraja gore koja je prema dolini Ben-Hinomu, na sjeveru refaimske nizine, silazila zatim u dolinu Hinom uz Jebusejski obronak i dosegla do izvora Rogela.
17 It extended northward, went out at En Shemesh, and went out to Geliloth, which is opposite the ascent of Adummim. It went down to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.
Zatim se savijala od sjevera te izlazila na En-Šemeš i doticala Gelilot, koji se diže prema Adumimskom usponu, i silazila na Kamen Bohana, sina Rubenova.
18 It passed along to the side opposite the Arabah northward, and went down to the Arabah.
Prolazila je zatim obronkom sa sjeverne strane prema Bet-Haarabi i silazila do Arabe.
19 The border passed along to the side of Beth Hoglah northward; and the border ended at the north bay of the Salt Sea, at the south end of the Jordan. This was the south border.
Dalje je tekla međa uz obronak Bet-Hogle prema sjeveru i svršavala se na sjevernom Jeziku Slanog mora, do južnog kraja Jordana. To je južna međa.
20 The Jordan was its border on the east quarter. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the borders around it, according to their families.
Jordan je pak bio međa s istočne strane. To je baština sinova Benjaminovih, s njihovim međama unaokolo po porodicama njihovim.
21 Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, Beth Hoglah, Emek Keziz,
