Josue 18
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
18 At ang buong kapisanan ng mga anak ni Israel ay nagpupulong sa Silo, at itinayo ang tabernakulo ng kapisanan doon: at ang lupain ay sumuko sa harap nila.
2 At nalabi sa mga anak ni Israel ay pitong lipi na hindi pa nababahaginan ng kanilang mana.
3 At sinabi ni Josue sa mga anak ni Israel, Hanggang kailan magpapakatamad kayo upang pasukin ninyong ariin ang lupain na ibinigay sa inyo ng Panginoon, ng Dios ng inyong mga magulang?
4 Maghalal kayo sa inyo ng tatlong lalake sa bawa't lipi: at aking susuguin, at sila'y babangon at lalakad sa lupain, at iguguhit ayon sa kanilang mana; at sila'y paririto sa akin.
5 At kanilang babahagihin ng pitong bahagi: ang Juda ay mananahan sa hangganan niyaon na dakong timugan, at ang sangbahayan ni Jose ay mananahan sa kanilang hangganan sa dakong hilagaan.
6 At inyong iguguhit ang lupain ng pitong bahagi, at inyong dadalhin ang pagkaguhit dito sa akin: at aking ipagsasapalaran dito sa inyo sa harap ng Panginoon natin Dios;
7 Sapagka't ang mga Levita ay walang bahagi sa gitna ninyo; sapagka't ang pagkasaserdote sa Panginoon ay siyang kanilang mana: at ang Gad, at ang Ruben at ang kalahating lipi ni Manases ay tumanggap na ng kanilang mana sa dako roon ng Jordan na dakong silanganan, na ibinigay sa kanila ni Moises na lingkod ng Panginoon.
8 At ang mga lalake ay tumindig at yumaon: at ibinilin sa kanila ni Josue na yumaong iguhit ang lupain, na sinasabi, Yumaon kayo at lakarin ninyo ang lupain at iguhit ninyo at bumalik kayo sa akin, at aking ipagsasapalaran sa inyo dito sa harap ng Panginoon sa Silo.
9 At ang mga lalake ay yumaon at nilakad ang lupain, at iginuhit sa isang aklat ayon sa mga bayan na pitong bahagi, at sila'y naparoon kay Josue sa kampamento sa Silo.
10 At ipinagsapalaran ni Josue sa kanila sa Silo sa harap ng Panginoon; at binahagi roon ni Josue ang lupain sa mga anak ni Israel ayon sa kanilang mga bahagi.
11 At ang kapalaran ng lipi ng mga anak ni Benjamin ay lumabas ayon sa kanilang mga angkan: at ang hangganan ng kanilang kapalaran ay palabas sa pagitan ng mga anak ni Juda at ng mga anak ni Jose.
12 At ang kanilang hangganan sa hilagaang sulok ay mula sa Jordan; at ang hangganan ay pasampa sa dako ng Jerico sa hilagaan, at pasampa sa lupaing maburol na dakong kalunuran; at ang labasan niyaon ay sa ilang ng Beth-aven.
13 At ang hangganan ay patuloy mula roon hanggang sa Luz, sa dako ng Luz (na siyang Beth-el), na dakong timugan; at ang hangganan ay pababa sa Ataroth-addar, sa tabi ng bundok na dumudoon sa timugan ng Beth-horon sa ibaba.
14 At ang hangganan ay patuloy at paliko sa kalunurang sulok na dakong timugan mula sa bundok na nakalatag sa harap ng Beth-horon na dakong timugan, at ang mga labasan niyaon ay sa Chiriath-baal (na siyang Chiriath-jearim), na bayan ng mga anak ni Juda: ito ang kalunurang sulok.
15 At ang timugang sulok ay mula sa kahulihulihang bahagi ng Chiriath-jearim at ang hangganan ay palabas sa dakong kalunuran, at palabas sa bukal ng tubig ng Nephtoa:
16 At ang hangganan ay pababa sa kahulihulihang bahagi ng bundok na nakalatag sa harap ng libis ng anak ni Hinnom, na nasa libis ng Rephaim na dakong hilagaan; at pababa sa libis ni Hinnom, sa dako ng Jebuseo na dakong timugan at pababa sa En-rogel;
17 At paabot sa hilagaan at palabas sa En-semes, at palabas sa Geliloth na nasa tapat ng pagsampa sa Adummim; at pababa sa bato ng Bohan na anak ni Ruben,
18 At patuloy sa tagiliran na tapat ng Araba sa dakong hilagaan, at pababa sa Araba;
19 At ang hangganan ay patuloy sa tabi ng Beth-hogla na dakong hilagaan, at ang labasan ng hangganan ay sa hilagaang dagat-dagatan ng Dagat na Alat, sa timugang dulo ng Jordan; ito ang timugang hangganan.
20 At ang Jordan ay hangganan niyaon sa sulok na silanganan. Ito ang mana ng mga anak ni Benjamin ayon sa mga hangganan niyaon sa palibot, ayon sa kanilang mga angkan.
21 Ang mga bayan nga ng lipi ng mga anak ni Benjamin ayon sa kanilang mga angkan ay Jerico, at Beth-hogla, at Emec-casis:
22 At Beth-araba, at Samaraim, at Beth-el,
23 At Avim, at Para, at Ophra,
24 At Cephar-hammonai, at Ophni, at Gaba, labing dalawang bayan pati ng mga nayon ng mga yaon.
25 Gabaon, at Rama, at Beeroth,
26 At Mizpe, at Chephira, at Moza;
27 At Recoem, at Irpeel, at Tarala;
28 At Sela, Eleph, at Jebus (na siyang Jerusalem), Gibeath, at Chiriath; labing apat na bayan pati ng mga nayon ng mga yaon. Ito ang mana ng mga anak ni Benjamin ayon sa kanilang mga angkan.
Joshua 18
New King James Version
The Remainder of the Land Divided
18 Now the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together (A)at Shiloh, and (B)set up the tabernacle of meeting there. And the land was subdued before them. 2 But there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes which had not yet received their inheritance.
3 Then Joshua said to the children of Israel: (C)“How long will you neglect to go and possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers has given you? 4 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 And they shall divide it into seven parts. (D)Judah shall remain in their territory on the south, and the (E)house of Joseph shall remain in their territory on the north. 6 You shall therefore [a]survey the land in seven parts and bring the survey here to me, (F)that I may cast lots for you here before the Lord our God. 7 (G)But the Levites have no part among you, for the priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance. (H)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 Then the men arose to go away; and Joshua charged those who went to [b]survey the land, saying, “Go, walk (I)through the land, survey it, and come back to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the Lord in Shiloh.” 9 So the men went, passed through the land, and [c]wrote the survey in a book in seven parts by cities; and they came to Joshua at the camp in Shiloh. 10 Then Joshua cast (J)lots for them in Shiloh before the Lord, and there (K)Joshua divided the land to the children of Israel according to their [d]divisions.
The Land of Benjamin
11 (L)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 (M)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 The border went over from there toward Luz, to the side of Luz (N)(which is Bethel) southward; and the border descended to Ataroth Addar, near the hill that lies on the south side (O)of Lower Beth Horon.
14 Then the border extended around the west side to the south, from the hill that lies before Beth Horon southward; and [e]it ended at (P)Kirjath Baal (which is Kirjath Jearim), a city of the children of Judah. This was the west side.
15 The south side began at the end of Kirjath Jearim, and the border extended on the west and went out to (Q)the spring of the waters of Nephtoah. 16 Then the border came down to the end of the mountain that lies before (R)the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, which is in the Valley of the [f]Rephaim on the north, descended to the Valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite city on the south, and descended to (S)En Rogel. 17 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 (T)the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben. 18 Then it passed along toward the north side of [g]Arabah, and went down to Arabah. 19 And the border passed along to the north side of Beth Hoglah; then [h]the border ended at the north bay at the (U)Salt Sea, at the south end of the Jordan. This was the southern boundary.
20 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 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 Avim, Parah, Ophrah, 24 Chephar Haammoni, Ophni, and Gaba: twelve cities with their villages; 25 (V)Gibeon, (W)Ramah, Beeroth, 26 Mizpah, Chephirah, Mozah, 27 Rekem, Irpeel, Taralah, 28 Zelah, Eleph, (X)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.

English Standard Version
Allotment of the Remaining Land
18 Then the whole congregation of the people of Israel assembled at (A)Shiloh and set up (B)the tent of meeting there. The land lay subdued before them.
2 There remained among the people of Israel seven tribes whose inheritance had not yet been apportioned. 3 So Joshua said to the people of Israel, (C)“How long will you put off going in to take possession of the land, which the Lord, the God of your fathers, has given you? 4 Provide three men from each tribe, and I will send them out that they may set out and go up and down the land. They shall write a description of it with a view to their inheritances, and then come to me. 5 They shall divide it into seven portions. (D)Judah shall continue in his territory on the south, (E)and the house of Joseph shall continue in their territory on the north. 6 And you shall describe the land in seven divisions and bring the description here to me. (F)And I will cast lots for you here before the Lord our God. 7 (G)The Levites have no portion among you, for the priesthood of the Lord is their heritage. (H)And Gad and Reuben and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan eastward, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave them.”
8 So the men arose and went, and Joshua charged those who went to write the description of the land, saying, “Go up and down in the land and write a description and return to me. And I will cast lots for you here before the Lord in Shiloh.” 9 So the men went and passed up and down in the land and wrote in a book a description of it by towns in seven divisions. Then they came to Joshua to the camp at Shiloh, 10 and Joshua (I)cast lots for them in Shiloh before the Lord. And there Joshua apportioned the land to the people of Israel, (J)to each his portion.
The Inheritance for Benjamin
11 The lot of the tribe of the people of Benjamin according to its clans came up, and the territory allotted to it fell between the people of Judah and the people of Joseph. 12 (K)On the north side their boundary began at the Jordan. (L)Then the boundary goes up to the shoulder north of Jericho, then up through the hill country westward, and it ends at the wilderness of (M)Beth-aven. 13 From there the boundary passes along southward in the direction of Luz, to the shoulder of (N)Luz (that is, Bethel), then the boundary goes down to (O)Ataroth-addar, on the mountain that lies south of Lower (P)Beth-horon. 14 Then the boundary goes in another direction, turning on the (Q)western side southward from the mountain that lies to the south, opposite Beth-horon, and it ends at Kiriath-baal ((R)that is, Kiriath-jearim), a city belonging to the people of Judah. This forms the western side. 15 And the southern side begins at the outskirts of Kiriath-jearim. And the boundary goes from there to Ephron,[a] (S)to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah. 16 Then the boundary goes down to the border of the mountain that overlooks (T)the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, which is at the north end of the Valley of (U)Rephaim. And it then goes down the (V)Valley of Hinnom, south of the shoulder of the Jebusites, and downward to (W)En-rogel. 17 Then it bends in a northerly direction going on to En-shemesh, and from there goes to Geliloth, which is opposite the ascent of Adummim. Then it goes down to (X)the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben, 18 and passing on to the north of (Y)the shoulder of Beth-arabah[b] it goes down to (Z)the Arabah. 19 Then the boundary passes on to the north of the shoulder of (AA)Beth-hoglah. And the boundary ends at the northern bay of (AB)the Salt Sea, at the south end of the Jordan: this is the southern border. 20 The Jordan forms its boundary on the eastern side. This is the inheritance of the people of Benjamin, according to their clans, boundary by boundary all around.
21 Now the cities of the tribe of the people of Benjamin according to their clans were (AC)Jericho, Beth-hoglah, Emek-keziz, 22 Beth-arabah, Zemaraim, Bethel, 23 Avvim, Parah, Ophrah, 24 Chephar-ammoni, Ophni, Geba—twelve cities with their villages: 25 Gibeon, Ramah, Beeroth, 26 Mizpeh, Chephirah, Mozah, 27 Rekem, Irpeel, Taralah, 28 Zela, Haeleph, (AD)Jebus[c] (that is, Jerusalem), Gibeah[d] and Kiriath-jearim[e]—fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the people of Benjamin according to its clans.
