ヨシュア記 18
1 かくてイスラエルの子孫の會衆ことごとくシロに集り集會の幕屋をかしこに立つその地は已に彼らに歸服ぬ
And all the sons of Israel gathered together at Shiloh, and there they stationed the Tabernacle of the Testimony. And the land was subjected to them.
2 この時なほイスラエルの子孫の中に未だその產業を分ち取ざる支派七のこりゐければ
But there remained seven tribes of the sons of Israel which had not yet received their possessions.
3 ヨシユア、イスラエルの子孫に言けるは汝らは汝らの先祖の神ヱホバの汝らに與へたまひし地を取に往くことを何時まで怠りをるや
And Joshua said to them: “For how long will you draw back in idleness, and not enter to possess the land, which the Lord, the God of your fathers, has given to you?
4 汝ら支派ごとに三人づつを擧よ我これを遣さん彼らは起てその地を歩きめぐりその產業にしたがひて之を描き寫して我に歸るべし
Select three men from each tribe, so that I may send them, and they may go forth and circle through the land, and may describe it according to the number of each multitude, and may bring back to me what they have written down.
5 彼らその地を分ちて七分となすべしユダは南にてその境界の内にをりヨセフの家は北にてその境界の内にをるべし
Divide the land for yourselves into seven parts. Let Judah be its bounds on the southern side, and the house of Joseph to the north.
6 汝らその地を描き寫して七分となし此にわが許に持きたれ我ここにて我等の神ヱホバの前になんぢらの爲に籤を掣ん
The land that is in the middle, between these, write it down in seven parts. And you shall come to me, so that I may cast lots for you about this, before the Lord your God.
7 レビ人は汝らの中に何の分をも有ずヱホバの祭司となることをもて其產業とす又ガド、ルベンおよびマナセの支派の半はヨルダンの彼旁東の方にて已にその產業を受たり是ヱホバの僕モーセの之に與へし者なりと
But there is no portion among you for the Levites. Instead, the priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance. And Gad and Reuben, and the one half tribe of Manasseh, have already received their possessions beyond the Jordan in the eastern region, which Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave to them.”
8 その人々すなはち起て往り其地を描き寫さんとて出ゆける此者等にヨシユア命じて云ふ汝等ゆきてその地を歩きめぐり之を描き寫して我に歸りきたれ我シロにて此にヱホバの前にて汝らのために籤を掣んと
And when the men had risen up, so that they might go out to describe the land, Joshua instructed them, saying, “Circle through the land, and describe it, and return to me, so that I may cast lots for you about this, before the Lord, in Shiloh.”
9 その人々ゆきてその地を經めぐり邑にしたがひて之を七分となして書に描き寫しシロの營に歸りてヨシユアに詣りければ
And so they went out. And surveying it, they divided it into seven parts, writing it in a book. And they returned to Joshua, to the camp at Shiloh.
10 ヨシユア、シロにて彼らのためにヱホバの前に籤を掣り而してヨシユア彼所にてイスラエルの子孫の區分にしたがひて其地を分ち與へたり
And he cast lots before the Lord, at Shiloh, and he divided the land to the sons of Israel, in seven parts.
11 まづベニヤミンの子孫の支派のためにその宗族にしたがひて籤を掣りその籤によりて獲たる地の境界はユダの子孫とヨセフの子孫の間にわたる
And the first lot went to the sons of Benjamin, by their families, so that they would possess the land between the sons of Judah and the sons of Joseph.
12 即ちその北の方の境界はヨルダンよりしてヱリコの北の脇に上り西の山地を逾てまた上りベテアベンの荒野にいたりて盡く
And their border toward the north was from the Jordan, continuing on, near the side of Jericho in the northern region, and from there, ascending toward the west to the mountains, and extending to the wilderness of Bethaven.
13 彼處よりその境界ルズに進みルズの南の脇にいたるルズはベテルなり而して其境界下ベテホロンの南に横たはる山に沿てアタロテアダルに下り
And it continues to the south beside Luz, which is Bethel. And it descends into Ataroth-addar, at the mountain which is to the south of lower Beth-horon.
14 延て西の方にて南に曲りベテホロンの南面に横はるところの山より進みユダの子孫の邑キリアテバアル即ちキリアテヤリムにいたりて盡くその西の境界は是のごとし
And it turns aside, circling toward the sea, to the south of the mountain which looks out toward Beth-horon, toward the southwest. And its exits are toward Kiriath-baal, which is also called Kiriath-jearim, a city of the sons of Judah. This is their region, toward the sea, in the west.
15 またその南の方はキリアテヤリムの極處よりして西におもむきてネフトアの水の源にいたり
But to the south, the border goes on from the part of Kiriath-jearim toward the sea, and it continues as far as the Fountain of the waters of Nephtoah.
16 レバイムの谷の中の北の方にてベニヒンノムの谷の前に横たはる所の山の極處に下り其處よりしてヒンノムの谷に下りてヱブス人の南の脇にいたりエンロゲルに下り
And it descends to that part of the mountain which looks out toward the Valley of the sons of Hinnom. And it is opposite the northern region, in the furthest part of the Valley of the Rephaim. And it descends into Geennom, (that is, the Valley of Hinnom, ) near the side of the Jebusite toward the south. And it extends to the Fountain of Rogel,
17 北に延てエンシメシにおもむきアドミムの阪に對へるゲリロテにおもむきルベン人、ボハンの石まで下り
crossing from there to the north, and going out to En-Shemesh, that is, to the Fountain of the Sun.
18 北の方にてアラバに對する處にわたりてアラバに下り
And it passes through to the hills that are opposite the region of the Ascent of Adummim. And it descends to Abenboen, that is, so the stone of Bohan, the son of Reuben. And it continues on, at the northern side, to the plains. And it descends into the flatlands.
19 ベテホグラの北の脇にわたりヨルダンの南の極にて鹽海の北の入海にいたりて盡くその南の境界は是のごとし
And it advances before Beth-hoglah, to the north. And its exits are to the north, opposite the bay of the very salty sea, in the southern region at the end of the Jordan,
20 東の方にてはヨルダンその境界となる是すなはちベニヤミンの子孫がその宗族にしたがひて獲たる產業の周圍の境界なり
which is its border to the east. This is the possession of the sons of Benjamin, with their borders all around, and by their families.
21 ベニヤミンの子孫の支派がその宗族にしたがひて獲たる邑々はヱリコ、ベテホグラ、エメクケジツ
And their cities were: Jericho and Beth-hoglah and the Abrupt Valley,
22 ベテアラバ、ゼマライム、ベテル
Beth-arabah and Zemaraim and Bethel,
23 アビム、パラ、オフラ
and Avvim and Parah and Ophrah,
24 ケパルアンモン、オフニ、ケバの十二邑ならびに之に屬る村々なり
the town of Ammoni, and Ophni, and Geba: twelve cities, and their villages;
25 ギベオン、ラマ、ベエロテ
Gibeon and Ramah and Beeroth,
26 ミヅパ、ケピラ、モザ
and Mizpeh and Chephirah and Mozah,
27 レケム、イルピエル、タララ、
and Rekem, Irpeel, and Taralah,
28 ゼラ、エレフ、ヱブスすなはちエルサレム、ギベア、キリアテの十四邑ならびに之につける村々是なり ベニヤミンの子孫がその宗族にしたがひて獲たる產業は是のごとし
and Zela, Haeleph, and Jebus, which is Jerusalem, Gibeah and Kiriath: fourteen cities, and their villages. This is the possession of the sons of Benjamin, according to their families.
