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.

This is what the children of Israel possessed in the land of Chanaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Josue the son of Nun, and the princes of the families by the tribes of Israel gave to them:

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

Dividing all by lot, as the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses, to the nine tribes, and the half tribe.

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

For to two tribes and a half Moses had given possession beyond the Jordan: besides the Levites, who received no land among their brethren:

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

But in their place succeeded the children of Joseph divided into two tribes, of Manasses and Ephraim: neither did the Levites receive other portion of land, but cities to dwell in, and their suburbs to feed their beasts and flocks.

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

As the Lord had commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel, 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 Juda came to Josue in Galgal, and Caleb the son of Jephone the Cenezite spoke to him: Thou knowest what the Lord spoke to Moses the man of God concerning me and thee in Cadesbarne.

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

I was forty Bears old when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Cadesbarne, to view the land, and I brought him word again as to me seemed true.

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

But my brethren, that had gone up with me, discouraged the heart of the people: and I nevertheless followed the Lord 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 swore in that day, saying: The land which thy foot hath trodden upon shall be thy possession, and thy children’s for ever, because thou hast followed the Lord 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.

The Lord therefore hath granted me life, as he promised until this present day. It is forty and five years since the Lord spoke this word to Moses, when Israel journeyed through the wilderness: this day I am eighty-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 strong as I was at that time when I was sent to view the land: the strength of that time continueth in me until this day, as well to fight as to march.

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».

Give me therefore this mountain, which the Lord promised, in thy hearing also, wherein are the Enacims, and cities great and strong: if so be the Lord will be with me, and I shall be able to destroy them, as he promised me.

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

And Josue blessed him, and gave him Hebron in possession.

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

And from that time Hebron belonged to Caleb the son of Jephone the Cenezite, until this present day: because he followed the Lord the God of Israel.

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

The name of Hebron before was called Cariath-Arbe: Adam the greatest among the Enacims was laid there: and the land rested from wars.
