1 و َاجتَمَعَ كُلُّ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ فِي شِيلُوهَ وَنَصَبُوا خَيمَةَ الاجْتِماعِ هُناكَ. وَكانَتِ الأرْضُ تَحتَ سَيطَرَتِهِمْ.

Now the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of meeting there. And the land was subdued before them.

2 و َبَقِيَتْ سَبعُ قَبائِلَ مِنَ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ لَمْ تَنَلْ نَصِيبَها.

But there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes which had not yet received their inheritance.

3 ف َقالَ يَشُوعُ لِبَنِي إسْرائِيلَ: «إلَى مَتَى تَتَكاسَلُونَ عَنِ الدُّخُولِ لامتِلاكِ الأرْضِ الَّتِي أعطاها لَكُمُ اللهُ إلَهُ آبائِكُمْ؟

Then Joshua said to the children of Israel: “How long will you neglect to go and possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers has given you?

4 ع َيِّنُوا ثَلاثَةَ رِجالٍ مِنْ كُلِّ عَشِيرَةٍ، فَأُرسِلُهُمْ لِيَجُولُوا الأرْضَ كُلَّها، وَيَكتُبُوا وَصفاً لَها بِحَسَبِ مِيراثِهِمْ، ثُمَّ يَعُودُونَ إلِيَّ.

Pick out from among you three men for each tribe, and I will send them; they shall rise and go through the land, survey it according to their inheritance, and come back to me.

5 و َليُقَسِّمُوا الأرْضَ الباقِيَةَ إلَى سَبْعَةِ أقسامٍ. سَيَبقَى يَهُوذا فِي أرْضِهِ فِي الجَنُوبِ، وَسَيَبقَى شَعبُ يُوسُفَ فِي أرْضِهِ فِي الشِّمالِ.

And they shall divide it into seven parts. Judah shall remain in their territory on the south, and the house of Joseph shall remain in their territory on the north.

6 و َسَتَكتُبُونَ وَصْفاً لِلحِصَصِ السَّبعِ مِنَ الأرْضِ ثُمَّ تَأتُونَ بِهِ إلَيَّ. وَأنا سَأُلقِي قُرْعَةً لَكُمْ هُنا فِي حَضْرَةِ إلَهِنا ، لِتَقرِيرِ حِصَّةِ كُلِّ عَشِيرَةٍ.

You shall therefore survey the land in seven parts and bring the survey here to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the Lord our God.

7 ل َكِنْ لَنْ يَكُونَ لِلّاوِيِّينَ حِصَّةٌ فِي الأرْضِ بَينَكُمْ لِأنَّ كَهَنُوتَ اللهِ هُوَ مِيراثُهُمْ. وَأمّا جادُ وَرَأُوبَيْنَ وَنِصْفُ قَبِيلَةِ مَنَسَّى فَقَدْ أخَذُوا مِيراثَهُمْ فِي الجِهَةِ الشَّرقِيَّةِ مِنَ نَهْرِ الأُردُنِّ الَّذِي أعطاهُ مُوسَى خادِمُ اللهِ لَهُمْ.»

But the Levites have no part among you, for the priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance. And Gad, Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave them.”

8 ف انطَلَقَ الرِّجالُ فِي رِحلَتِهِمْ. وَأعطَى يَشُوعُ هَذا الأمرَ لِلَّذِينَ ذَهَبُوا لِيَكتُبُوا وَصْفاً لِلأرْضِ: «اذْهَبُوا وَسَيرُوا فِي كُلِّ الأرْضِ، وَاكتُبُوا وَصفاً لَها، ثُمَّ عُودُوا إلَيَّ. حِينَئِذٍ، سَأُلقِي قُرَعَةً لَكُمْ هُنا فِي شِيلُوهُ فِي حَضْرَةِ اللهِ.»

Then the men arose to go away; and Joshua charged those who went to survey the land, saying, “Go, walk through the land, survey it, and come back to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the Lord in Shiloh.”

9 ف انطَلَقَ الرِّجالُ وَجالُوا فِي الأرْضِ، وَكَتَبُوا فِي كِتابٍ وَصْفاً لَها بَمُدُنِها فِي سَبعَةِ أقسامٍ. ثُمَّ عادُوا إلَى يَشُوعَ فِي المَخَيَّمِ فَي شِيلُوهَ.

So the men went, passed through the land, and wrote the survey in a book in seven parts by cities; and they came to Joshua at the camp in Shiloh.

10 و َهُناكَ، ألقَى يَشُوعُ قُرَعَةً بَينَهُمْ فِي حَضْرَةِ اللهِ. وَقَسَّمَ الأرْضَ لِبَنِي إسْرائِيلَ بِحَسَبِ حِصَصِهِمْ. أرْضُ بَنْيامِيْن

Then Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the Lord, and there Joshua divided the land to the children of Israel according to their divisions. The Land of Benjamin

11 و َكانَتْ قُرْعَةُ قَبِيلَةِ بَنْيامِيْنَ بِحَسَبِ عَشائرِها القُرْعَةَ الأُولى. وَكانَتِ الأرْضُ الَّتِي أُعطِيَتْ لَهُمْ بَينَ قَبِيلَتَي يَهُوذا وَيُوسُفَ.

Now the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families, and the territory of their lot came out between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.

12 و َيَبدَأُ حَدُّهُمُ الشِّمالِيُّ عِندَ نَهْرِ الأُردُنِّ، وَيَصْعَدُ إلَى المُنحَدَرِ الَّذِي شَمالَ أرِيحا، ثُمَّ يَصْعَدُ إلَى المِنطَقَةِ الجَبَلِيَّةِ غَرباً، وَيَنتَهِي عِندَ بَرِّيَّةِ بَيتِ آوِنَ.

Their border on the north side began at the Jordan, and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north, and went up through the mountains westward; it ended at the Wilderness of Beth Aven.

13 و َمِنْ هُناكَ يَمْتَدُّ الحَدُّ إلَى الجانِبِ الجَنُوبِيِّ مِنْ لُوْزَ، الَّتِي هِيَ بَيْتُ إيلَ. ثُمَّ يَنزِلُ الحَدُّ إلَى عَطارُوتَ إدّارَ الَّتِي فِي المِنطَقَةِ الجَبَلِيَّةِ جَنُوبَ بَيْتِ حَورُونَ السُّفلَى.

The border went over from there toward Luz, to the side of Luz (which is Bethel) southward; and the border descended to Ataroth Addar, near the hill that lies on the south side of Lower Beth Horon.

14 ث ُمَّ يَمْتَدُّ الحَدُّ إلَى الجِهَةِ الغَربِيَّةِ وَيَتَّجِهُ نَحْوَ الجَنُوبِ مِنَ الجَبَلِ الواقِعِ جَنُوبَ بَيتِ حُورُونَ، وَيَنتَهِي فِي قَرْياتِ بَعلٍ، الَّتِي هِيَ قَرياتُ يَعارِيمَ، وَهِيَ مَدِينَةٌ لِعَشِيرَةِ يَهُوذا. هَذا هُوَ الحَدُّ الغَربِيُّ لَهُمْ.

Then the border extended around the west side to the south, from the hill that lies before Beth Horon southward; and it ended at Kirjath Baal (which is Kirjath Jearim), a city of the children of Judah. This was the west side.

15 و َيَبدأُ الحَدُّ الجَنُوبِيُّ عِنْدَ طَرَفِ قَرْياتِ يَعارِيمَ، ثُمَّ يَعبُرُ الوادِي إلَى نَبْعِ مِياهِ نَفتُوحَ.

The south side began at the end of Kirjath Jearim, and the border extended on the west and went out to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah.

16 ث ُمَّ يَنزِلُ الحَدُّ إلَى أسفَلِ الجَبَلِ المُقابِلِ لابْنِ هِنَّومَ الواقِعِ إلَى الشِّمالِ مِنْ وادِي رِفائِيمَ، وَيَنزِلُ إلَى وادِي هِنُّومَ جَنُوبَ طَرَفِ اليَبُوسِيِّينَ وَيَنزِلُ إلَى عَينِ رُوجَلَ.

Then the border came down to the end of the mountain that lies before the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, which is in the Valley of the Rephaim on the north, descended to the Valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite city on the south, and descended to En Rogel.

17 ث ُمَّ يَمْتَدُّ إلَى الشِّمالِ وَيَعبُرُ الوادِي إلَى عَينِ شَمْسٍ، ثُمَّ يَعبُرُ الوادِي إلَى جَلِيلُوتَ الواقِعَةِ مُقابِلَ مَمَرِّ أدُومِّيمَ، وَيَنزِلُ إلَى حَجَرِ بُوهَنَ بْنِ رَأُوبَيْنَ.

And it went around from the north, went out to En Shemesh, and extended toward Geliloth, which is before the Ascent of Adummim, and descended to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.

18 ث ُمَّ يَمْتَدُّ إلَى الشِّمالِ، إلَى المُنحَدَرِ المُقابِلِ لِوادِي الأُردُنِّ، وَيَنزِلُ إلَى وادِي الأُردُنِّ.

Then it passed along toward the north side of Arabah, and went down to Arabah.

19 ث ُمَّ يَدُورُ الحَدُّ إلَى الحافَّةِ الشِّمالِيَّةِ لِبَيتِ حُجلَةَ، وَيَنتَهِي عِنْدَ الخَلِيجِ الشِّمالِيِّ لِبَحْرِ المِلحِ عِندَ الطَّرَفِ الجَنُوبِيِّ لِنَهْرِ الأردُنِّ. هَذا هُوَ الحَدُّ الجَنُوبِيُّ.

And the border passed along to the north side of Beth Hoglah; then the border ended at the north bay at the Salt Sea, at the south end of the Jordan. This was the southern boundary.

20 و َنَهرُ الأُردُنِّ هُوَ الحَدُّ الشَّرقِيُّ لِأرْضِهِمْ. هَذا هُوَ مِيراثُ عَشائِرِ بَنْيامِيْنَ بِحَسَبِ حُدُودِهِ مِنْ جَمِيعِ جِهاتِهِ.

The Jordan was its border on the east side. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, according to its boundaries all around, according to their families.

21 و َأمّا المُدُنُ الَّتِي كانَتْ لِقَبِيلَةِ بَنْيامِيْنَ وَعَشائِرِهِا فَكانَتْ: أرِيحا وَبَيتَ حُجلَةَ وَعِمِقَ قَصِيصَ،

Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin, according to their families, were Jericho, Beth Hoglah, Emek Keziz,

22 و َبَيتَ العَرَبَةِ وَصَمارِيمَ وَبَيتَ إيلَ،

Beth Arabah, Zemaraim, Bethel,

23 و َالعَوِّيمَ وَالفارَةَ وَعَفْرَةَ،

Avim, Parah, Ophrah,

24 و َكَفْرَ العَمُّونِيِّ وَالعُفْنِيِّ وَجَبَعَ. وَمَجمُوعُها اثنَتا عَشْرَةَ مَدِينَةً مَعَ قُراها.

Chephar Haammoni, Ophni, and Gaba: twelve cities with their villages;

25 و َجِبْعُونَ وَالرّامَةَ وَبَئِيرُوتَ،

Gibeon, Ramah, Beeroth,

26 و َالمِصْفاةَ وَالكَفِيرَةَ وَالمُوصَةَ

Mizpah, Chephirah, Mozah,

27 و َراقه وَيَرْفِئِيلَ وَتَرالَةَ

Rekem, Irpeel, Taralah,

28 و َصَيلَعَ وَآلَفَ وَمَدِينَةَ اليَبُوسِيِّينَ، أي مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ، وَجِبْعَةَ وَقَرْياتَ. وَمَجْمُوعُها أربَعَ عَشْرَةَ مَدِينَةً مَعَ قُراها. هَذا هُوَ مِيراثُ قَبِيلَةِ بَنْيامِيْنَ بِحَسَبِ عَشائِرِها.

Zelah, Eleph, Jebus (which is Jerusalem), Gibeath, and Kirjath: fourteen cities with their villages. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their families.
