1 T hen the whole congregation of the sons of Israel assembled themselves at Shiloh, and set up the tent of meeting there; and the land was subdued before them.

وَاجتَمَعَ كُلُّ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ فِي شِيلُوهَ وَنَصَبُوا خَيمَةَ الاجْتِماعِ هُناكَ. وَكانَتِ الأرْضُ تَحتَ سَيطَرَتِهِمْ.

2 T here remained among the sons of Israel seven tribes who had not divided their inheritance.

وَبَقِيَتْ سَبعُ قَبائِلَ مِنَ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ لَمْ تَنَلْ نَصِيبَها.

3 S o Joshua said to the sons of Israel, “ How long will you put off entering to take possession of the land which the Lord, the God of your fathers, has given you?

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

4 P rovide for yourselves three men from each tribe that I may send them, and that they may arise and walk through the land and write a description of it according to their inheritance; then they shall return to me.

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

5 T hey shall divide it into seven portions; Judah shall stay in its territory on the south, and the house of Joseph shall stay in their territory on the north.

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

6 Y ou shall describe the land in seven divisions, and bring the description here to me. I will cast lots for you here before the Lord our God.

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

7 F or the Levites have no portion among you, because the priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance. Gad and Reuben and the half-tribe of Manasseh also have received their inheritance eastward beyond the Jordan, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave them.”

لَكِنْ 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.»

8 T hen the men arose and went, and Joshua commanded those who went to describe the land, saying, “Go and walk through the land and describe it, and return to me; then I will cast lots for you here before the Lord in Shiloh.”

فانطَلَقَ 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.»

9 S o the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities in seven divisions in a book; and they came to Joshua to the camp at Shiloh.

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

10 A nd Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the Lord, and there Joshua divided the land to the sons of Israel according to their divisions. The Territory of Benjamin

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

11 N ow the lot of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin came up according to their families, and the territory of their lot lay between the sons of Judah and the sons of Joseph.

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

12 T heir border on the north side was from the Jordan, then the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north, and went up through the hill country westward, and it ended at the wilderness of Beth-aven.

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

13 F rom there the border continued to Luz, to the side of Luz (that is, Bethel) southward; and the border went down to Ataroth-addar, near the hill which lies on the south of lower Beth-horon.

وَمِنْ 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.

14 T he border extended from there and turned round on the west side southward, from the hill which lies before Beth-horon southward; and it ended at Kiriath-baal (that is, Kiriath-jearim), a city of the sons of Judah. This was the west side.

ثُمَّ 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.

15 T hen the south side was from the edge of Kiriath-jearim, and the border went westward and went to the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah.

وَيَبدأُ الحَدُّ الجَنُوبِيُّ عِنْدَ طَرَفِ قَرْياتِ يَعارِيمَ، ثُمَّ يَعبُرُ الوادِي إلَى نَبْعِ مِياهِ نَفتُوحَ.

16 T he border went down to the edge of the hill which is in the valley of Ben-hinnom, which is in the valley of Rephaim northward; and it went down to the valley of Hinnom, to the slope of the Jebusite southward, and went down to En-rogel.

ثُمَّ 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.

17 I t extended northward and went to En-shemesh and went to Geliloth, which is opposite the ascent of Adummim, and it went down to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.

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

18 I t continued to the side in front of the Arabah northward and went down to the Arabah.

ثُمَّ يَمْتَدُّ إلَى الشِّمالِ، إلَى المُنحَدَرِ المُقابِلِ لِوادِي الأُردُنِّ، وَيَنزِلُ إلَى وادِي الأُردُنِّ.

19 T he border continued 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.

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

20 M oreover, the Jordan was its border on the east side. This was the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin, according to their families and according to its borders all around.

وَنَهرُ الأُردُنِّ هُوَ الحَدُّ الشَّرقِيُّ لِأرْضِهِمْ. هَذا هُوَ مِيراثُ عَشائِرِ بَنْيامِيْنَ بِحَسَبِ حُدُودِهِ مِنْ جَمِيعِ جِهاتِهِ.

21 N ow the cities of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho and Beth-hoglah and Emek-keziz,

وَأمّا المُدُنُ الَّتِي كانَتْ لِقَبِيلَةِ بَنْيامِيْنَ وَعَشائِرِهِا فَكانَتْ: أرِيحا وَبَيتَ حُجلَةَ وَعِمِقَ قَصِيصَ،

22 a nd Beth-arabah and Zemaraim and Bethel,

وَبَيتَ العَرَبَةِ وَصَمارِيمَ وَبَيتَ إيلَ،

23 a nd Avvim and Parah and Ophrah,

وَالعَوِّيمَ وَالفارَةَ وَعَفْرَةَ،

24 a nd Chephar-ammoni and Ophni and Geba; twelve cities with their villages.

وَكَفْرَ العَمُّونِيِّ وَالعُفْنِيِّ وَجَبَعَ. وَمَجمُوعُها اثنَتا عَشْرَةَ مَدِينَةً مَعَ قُراها.

25 G ibeon and Ramah and Beeroth,

وَجِبْعُونَ وَالرّامَةَ وَبَئِيرُوتَ،

26 a nd Mizpeh and Chephirah and Mozah,

وَالمِصْفاةَ وَالكَفِيرَةَ وَالمُوصَةَ

27 a nd Rekem and Irpeel and Taralah,

وَراقه وَيَرْفِئِيلَ وَتَرالَةَ

28 a nd Zelah, Haeleph and the Jebusite (that is, Jerusalem), Gibeah, Kiriath; fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin according to their families.

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