Yosua 18
1 Setelah menaklukkan negeri yang dijanjikan TUHAN, seluruh umat Israel berkumpul di Silo, lalu mereka memasang Kemah Kehadiran TUHAN.
And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together at Shiloh, and set up there the tabernacle of the congregation. And the land was subdued before them.
2 Masih ada tujuh suku bangsa Israel yang belum menerima bagian tanah.
And there remained among the children of Israel, that had not yet received their inheritance, seven tribes.
3 Jadi, Yosua berkata kepada umat Israel, "Kalian mau menunggu sampai kapan lagi, baru kalian pergi menduduki daerah yang diberikan TUHAN, Allah leluhurmu, kepadamu?
And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long will ye show yourselves slack to go to take possession of the land, which the Lord the God of your fathers hath given to you!
4 Pilihlah tiga orang dari setiap suku. Saya akan menyuruh mereka meninjau seluruh negeri ini untuk mencatat batas-batas daerah yang mereka ingin miliki. Sesudah itu, mereka harus kembali kepada saya.
Furnish for yourselves three men for each tribe; and I will send them out, and they shall arise, and walk through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance, and come again to me.
5 Tanah itu harus dibagi menjadi tujuh bagian. Yehuda akan tetap di wilayahnya sebelah selatan, dan Yusuf di wilayahnya di utara.
And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall remain on his boundary at the south, and the house of Joseph shall remain on their boundary at the north.
6 Gambar batas-batas ketujuh bagian tanah itu harus dibuat, dan diserahkan kepada saya. Nanti saya membuang undi untuk mengetahui apa yang ditentukan oleh Allah untuk kalian.
But you shall make a description of the land in seven parts, and bring it hither to me; and I will cast the lot for you here, before the Lord our God.
7 Hanya suku Lewi tidak akan menerima bagian tanah bersama-sama dengan kalian, karena bagian mereka ialah menjadi imam-imam untuk melayani TUHAN. Dan mengenai suku Gad, Ruben dan sebagian suku Manasye, memang mereka sudah menerima bagiannya di sebelah timur Sungai Yordan. Musa, hamba TUHAN, sudah memberikan tanah itu kepada mereka."
For to the Levites there is no portion among you; for the priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance; and Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe of Menasseh have already received their inheritance beyond the Jordan, at the east, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave to them.
8 Maka Yosua memberikan petunjuk-petunjuk yang berikut ini kepada orang-orang itu, "Pergilah meninjau seluruh negeri ini dan buatlah gambar batas-batasnya; kemudian datanglah kembali kepada saya. Nanti saya akan membuang undi di sini di Silo untuk mengetahui apa yang ditentukan TUHAN untuk kalian." Setelah menerima petunjuk-petunjuk itu dari Yosua, pergilah mereka meninjau tanah itu.
And the men arose, and went away; and Joshua charged those that went to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and return again to me; and here will I cast the lot for you before the Lord, in Shiloh.
9 Seluruh negeri itu mereka jelajahi, lalu mencatat batas-batas ketujuh bagian tanah itu serta mendaftar juga kota-kota yang ada di dalamnya. Kemudian mereka kembali ke Yosua di perkemahan di Silo.
And the men went and passed through the land, and described it according to the cities in seven parts in a book; and they came again to Joshua to the camp at Shiloh.
10 Lalu Yosua membuang undi untuk mengetahui apa yang ditentukan TUHAN untuk mereka. Setelah itu Yosua memberikan bagian tanah kepada setiap suku bangsa Israel yang belum kebagian tanah.
And Joshua cast the lot for them in Shiloh before the Lord; and Joshua divided there the land unto the children of Israel according to their divisions.
11 Pembagian pertama ialah tanah untuk keluarga-keluarga dalam suku Benyamin. Bagian mereka itu terletak antara tanah suku Yehuda dan tanah suku keturunan Yusuf.
And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families; and the boundary of their lot came forth between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.
12 Di sebelah utara, batas-batas tanah mereka mulai di Sungai Yordan, lalu naik ke lereng sebelah utara Yerikho, kemudian ke barat melalui daerah pegunungan sampai sejauh daerah gurun Bet-Awen.
And their boundary was on the north side [starting] from the Jordan; and the boundary went up to the side of Jericho on the north, and went up through the mountains westward; and its terminations were at the wilderness of Beth-aven.
13 Garis perbatasan itu terus pula ke lereng di sebelah selatan Lus (yang terkenal sebagai Betel), lalu turun ke Atarot-Adar di gunung sebelah selatan Bet-Horon-Hilir.
And the boundary went over from there toward Luz, to the south side of Luz, which is Beth-el; and the boundary descended to 'Atroth-addar, upon the mount that is on the south side of the lower Beth-choron.
14 Dari sebelah barat gunung itu, garis batas tanah itu membelok ke selatan menuju ke Kiryat-Baal (yaitu Kiryat-Yearim). Kiryat-Baal adalah milik suku Yehuda. Itulah garis batas tanah itu di sebelah barat.
And the border extended [thence], and fetched a compass to the west side, to the south of the mount that is before Beth-choron at the south; and its terminations were at Kiryath-ba'al, which is Kiryath-ye'arim, a city of the children of Judah: this was the west side.
15 Batas-batas di sebelah selatan mulai dari tepi Kiryat-Yearim terus ke sumber-sumber air Me-Neftoah,
And the south side commenced from the end of Kiryath-ye'arim, and the boundary went out on the west, and went out to the spring of the waters of Nephtoach:
16 lalu turun ke kaki gunung yang berhadapan dengan Lembah-Hinom di ujung utara Lembah-Refaim. Sesudah itu garis batas itu ke selatan melalui Lembah-Hinom sebelah selatan lereng-lereng gunung di negeri Yebus, terus menuju ke En-Rogel,
And the boundary went down to the end of the mountain that is before the valley of the son of Hinnom, and which is in the valley of Rephaim at the north, and descended to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusi on the south, and descended to 'Enrogel,
17 membelok ke utara ke En-Semes, lalu ke Gelilot di seberang Pendakian Adumim. Sesudah itu garis batas itu turun ke Batu Bohan (Bohan adalah anak Ruben),
And extended northwardly, and went forth to 'En-shemesh, and went forth toward Geliloth, which is opposite to the ascent of Adummim, and descended to Eben-bohan the son of Reuben,
18 lalu melalui sebelah utara lereng-lereng gunung yang berhadapan dengan Lembah Yordan, kemudian turun ke lembah itu,
And passed along on this side opposite to 'Arabah northward; and went down unto 'Arabah;
19 melalui utara lereng-lereng gunung Bet-Hogla, dan berakhir di bagian utara Laut Mati di tempat Sungai Yordan bermuara. Itulah perbatasan bagian selatan.
And the boundary passed along to the side of Beth-choglah northward; and the terminations of the border were at the north bay of the Salt Sea at the south end of the Jordan: this was the south boundary.
20 Sungai Yordan merupakan perbatasan sebelah timur. Demikianlah batas-batas tanah yang diberikan kepada keluarga-keluarga dalam suku Benyamin untuk menjadi milik mereka.
And the Jordan bounded it on the east side. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by its boundaries round about, according to their families.
21 Kota-kota yang dimiliki oleh keluarga-keluarga dalam suku Benyamin, semuanya ada dua belas kota dengan desa-desa di sekitarnya, yaitu: Yerikho, Bet-Hogla, Emek-Kezis, Bet-Araba, Zemaraim, Betel, Haawim, Para, Ofra, Kefar-Haamonai, Ofni, dan Geba.
Now these were the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families, Jericho, and Beth-choglah, and 'Emekkeziz,
And Beth-ha'arabah, and Zemarayim, and Beth-el,
And Avvim, and Parah, and 'Ophrah,
And Kephar-ha'ammonah, and 'Ophni, and Geba': twelve cities with their villages.
25 Juga empat belas kota berikut ini dengan desa-desa di sekitarnya: Gibeon, Rama, Beerot, Mizpa, Kefira, Moza, Rekem, Yirpeel, Tarala, Zela, Elef, Yebus (yaitu Yerusalem), Gibea dan Kiryat-Yearim. Itulah tanah-tanah yang diberikan kepada keluarga-keluarga dalam suku Benyamin untuk menjadi milik mereka.
Gib'on, and Ramah, and Beeroth,
And Mizpeh, and Kephirah, and Mozah,
And Rekem, and Yirpeel, and Taralah,
And Zela', Eleph, and Jebusi, which is Jerusalem, Gib'ath, and Kiryath: fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their families.
