Josué 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. 2 Seven tribes remained among the children of Israel, which had not yet divided their inheritance. 3 Joshua said to the children of Israel, "How long will you neglect to go in to possess the land, which Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has given you? 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. 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. 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 Yahweh our God. 7 However, the Levites have no portion among you; for the priesthood of Yahweh is their inheritance. Gad, Reuben, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance east of the Jordan, which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave them."

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 Yahweh in Shiloh."

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. 10 Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before Yahweh. There Joshua divided the land to the children of Israel according to their divisions.

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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 18 It passed along to the side opposite the Arabah northward, and went down to the Arabah. 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. 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. 21 Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, Beth Hoglah, Emek Keziz, 22 Beth Arabah, Zemaraim, Bethel, 23 Avvim, Parah, Ophrah, 24 Chephar Ammoni, Ophni, and Geba; twelve cities with their villages. 25 Gibeon, Ramah, Beeroth, 26 Mizpeh, Chephirah, Mozah, 27 Rekem, Irpeel, Taralah, 28 Zelah, Eleph, the Jebusite (also called Jerusalem), Gibeath, and Kiriath; fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their families.

Ngā Rohe a ngā Iwi i Toenga

1 Nā, ka huihui te whakaminenga katoa o ngā tama a Īharaira ki Hiro, ā, whakatūria ana e rātou ki reira te tapenākara o te whakaminenga; ā, i taea hoki te whenua e rātou. 2 Nā, ka toe e whitu ngā iwi o ngā tama a Īharaira, kāhore nei i wehea tō rātou kāinga tupu ki a rātou.

3 Nā, ka mea a Hohua ki ngā tama a Īharaira: "Kia pēhea ake te roa o tō koutou nei māngere ki te haere ki te tango i te whenua kua hoatu nei ki a koutou e Ihowā, e te Atua o ō koutou mātua? 4 Whakaritea mō koutou kia tokotoru mō ia iwi; ā, māku rātou e tono, ā, ka whakatika rātou, ka haere i te whenua, ā, ka tuhituhi kia rite ki ō rātou wāhi; ā, ka haere mai ai rātou ki ahau. 5 Me wehe hoki e rātou kia whitu ngā wāhi; me noho a Hūrā ki tōna wāhi ki te tonga, me noho anō hoki te whare o Hōhepa ki tōna wāhi ki te raki. 6 Nā, me tuhituhi e koutou te whenua kia whitu ngā wāhi, ka kawe mai ai i te pukapuka ki ahau ki konei, ā, māku e maka ō koutou rota ki konei ki te aroaro o Ihowā, o tō tātou Atua. 7 Otirā, kāhore he wāhi mō ngā Rīwaiti i roto i a koutou; ko te mahi tohunga ki a Ihowā te wāhi mō rātou; ā, ko Kara, ko Reupena, ko tētahi tānga hoki o te iwi o Mānahi, kua whiwhi rātou ki tō rātou wāhi i tāwāhi o Horano whaka te rāwhiti, ki tā Mohi, ki tā te pononga a Ihowā i hoatu ai ki a rātou."

8 Nā, ka whakatika aua tāngata, ā, ka haere; ā, i whakahau a Hohua i te hunga i haere ki te tuhituhi i te whenua, i mea, "Tūria atu, hāereerea hoki te whenua, tuhituhia hoki, ka hoki mai ai ki ahau, ā, māku e maka ō koutou rota ki konei, ki te aroaro o Ihowā, ki Hiro."

9 Nā, ka tūria atu e aua tāngata, ka haere ā puta noa te whenua, ā, tuhituhia iho e rātou ki te pukapuka, e whitu ngā wāhi, he mea whakaaro ki ngā pā, ā, haere ana ki a Hohua, ki te puni ki Hiro. 10 Ā, makā ana e Hohua he rota mō rātou i Hiro, i te aroaro o Ihowā; nā, ka wehea e Hohua te whenua i reira mō ngā tama a Īharaira, kia rite ki ō rātou wehenga.

20 Ā, ko Horano tōna rohe i te taha ki te rāwhiti.
