يَشُوع 14

١ 1 فَهَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلَّتِي ٱمْتَلَكَهَا بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ، ٱلَّتِي مَلَّكَهُمْ إِيَّاهَا أَلِعَازَارُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَيَشُوعُ بْنُ نُونَ وَرُؤَسَاءُ آبَاءِ أَسْبَاطِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

And these are the inheritances which the children of Israel took in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers’ [houses] of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed unto them,

٢ 2 نَصِيبُهُمْ بِٱلْقُرْعَةِ كَمَا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْ يَدِ مُوسَى لِلتِّسْعَةِ ٱلْأَسْبَاطِ وَنِصْفِ ٱلسِّبْطِ.

by the lot of their inheritance, as Jehovah commanded by Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half-tribe.

٣ 3 لِأَنَّ مُوسَى أَعْطَى نَصِيبَ ٱلسِّبْطَيْنِ وَنِصْفِ ٱلسِّبْطِ فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ. وَأَمَّا ٱللَّاوِيُّونَ فَلَمْ يُعْطِهِمْ نَصِيبًا فِي وَسَطِهِمْ.

For Moses had given the inheritance of the two tribes and the half-tribe beyond the Jordan: but unto the Levites he gave no inheritance among them.

٤ 4 لِأَنَّ بَنِي يُوسُفَ كَانُوا سِبْطَيْنِ: مَنَسَّى وَأَفْرَايِمَ. وَلَمْ يُعْطُوا ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ قِسْمًا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَّا مُدُنًا لِلسَّكَنِ، وَمَسَارِحَهَا لِمَوَاشِيهِمْ وَمُقْتَنَاهُمْ.

For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim: and they gave no portion unto the Levites in the land, save cities to dwell in, with the suburbs thereof for their cattle and for their substance.

٥ 5 كَمَا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى هَكَذَا فَعَلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقَسَمُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ.

As Jehovah commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did; and they divided the land.

٦ 6 فَتَقَدَّمَ بَنُو يَهُوذَا إِلَى يَشُوعَ فِي ٱلْجِلْجَالِ. وَقَالَ لَهُ كَالَبُ بْنُ يَفُنَّةَ ٱلْقَنِزِّيُّ: «أَنْتَ تَعْلَمُ ٱلْكَلَامَ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى رَجُلَ ٱللهِ مِنْ جِهَتِي وَمِنْ جِهَتِكَ فِي قَادَشِ بَرْنِيعَ.

Then the children of Judah drew nigh unto Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said unto him, Thou knowest the thing that Jehovah spake unto Moses the man of God concerning me and concerning thee in Kadesh-barnea.

٧ 7 كُنْتُ ٱبْنَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ أَرْسَلَنِي مُوسَى عَبْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ مِنْ قَادَشِ بَرْنِيعَ لِأَتَجَسَّسَ ٱلْأَرْضَ. فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَيْهِ بِكَلَامٍ عَمَّا فِي قَلْبِي.

Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of Jehovah sent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in my heart.

٨ 8 وَأَمَّا إِخْوَتِيَ ٱلَّذِينَ صَعِدُوا مَعِي فَأَذَابُوا قَلْبَ ٱلشَّعْبِ. وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَٱتَّبَعْتُ تَمَامًا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهِي.

Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt; but I wholly followed Jehovah my God.

٩ 9 فَحَلَفَ مُوسَى فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ قَائِلًا: إِنَّ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي وَطِئَتْهَا رِجْلُكَ لَكَ تَكُونُ نَصِيبًا وَلِأَوْلَادِكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، لِأَنَّكَ ٱتَّبَعْتَ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهِي تَمَامًا.

And Moses sware on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon thy foot hath trodden shall be an inheritance to thee and to thy children for ever, because thou hast wholly followed Jehovah my God.

١٠ 10 وَٱلْآنَ فَهَا قَدِ ٱسْتَحْيَانِيَ ٱلرَّبُّ كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ هَذِهِ ٱلْخَمْسَ وَٱلْأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً، مِنْ حِينَ كَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى بِهَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ حِينَ سَارَ إِسْرَائِيلُ فِي ٱلْقَفْرِ. وَٱلْآنَ فَهَا أَنَا ٱلْيَوْمَ ٱبْنُ خَمْسٍ وَثَمَانِينَ سَنَةً.

And now, behold, Jehovah hath kept me alive, as he spake, these forty and five years, from the time that Jehovah spake this word unto Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness: and now, lo, I am this day fourscore and five years old.

١١ 11 فَلَمْ أَزَلِ ٱلْيَوْمَ مُتَشَدِّدًا كَمَا فِي يَوْمَ أَرْسَلَنِي مُوسَى. كَمَا كَانَتْ قُوَّتِي حِينَئِذٍ، هَكَذَا قُوَّتِي ٱلْآنَ لِلْحَرْبِ وَلِلْخُرُوجِ وَلِلدُّخُولِ.

As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, and to go out and to come in.

١٢ 12 فَٱلْآنَ أَعْطِنِي هَذَا ٱلْجَبَلَ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ عَنْهُ ٱلرَّبُّ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ. لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أَنَّ ٱلْعَنَاقِيِّينَ هُنَاكَ، وَٱلْمُدُنُ عَظِيمَةٌ مُحَصَّنَةٌ. لَعَلَّ ٱلرَّبَّ مَعِي فَأَطْرُدَهُمْ كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ».

Now therefore give me this hill-country, whereof Jehovah spake in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakim were there, and cities great and fortified: it may be that Jehovah will be with me, and I shall drive them out, as Jehovah spake.

١٣ 13 فَبَارَكَهُ يَشُوعُ، وَأَعْطَى حَبْرُونَ لِكَالَبَ بْنِ يَفُنَّةَ مُلْكًا.

And Joshua blessed him; and he gave Hebron unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance.

١٤ 14 لِذَلِكَ صَارَتْ حَبْرُونُ لِكَالَبَ بْنِ يَفُنَّةَ ٱلْقَنِزِّيِّ مُلْكًا إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ، لِأَنَّهُ ٱتَّبَعَ تَمَامًا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

Therefore Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite unto this day; because that he wholly followed Jehovah, the God of Israel.

١٥ 15 وَٱسْمُ حَبْرُونَ قَبْلًا قَرْيَةُ أَرْبَعَ، ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلْأَعْظَمِ فِي ٱلْعَنَاقِيِّينَ. وَٱسْتَرَاحَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ مِنَ ٱلْحَرْبِ.

Now the name of Hebron beforetime was Kiriath-arba; [which Arba was] the greatest man among the Anakim. And the land had rest from war.
