Joshua 14

1 Kanaan kho ah Israel ca rhoek loh a pang uh he khaw khosoih Eleazar, Nun capa Joshua neh Israel ca rhoek kah cako khuiah a lu la aka om a napa rhoek long ni a phaeng.

These are the areas of land that the people of Israel received as their inheritance in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the the tribal leaders of Israel allotted to them.

2 Koca pako neh hlangvang ham rho he BOEIPA loh a uen vanbangla hmulung neh Moses kut loh a yueh pah.

Their inheritance was selected by lot for the nine and one-half tribes, just as Yahweh had commanded by the hand of Moses.

3 Koca panit neh hlangvang te Jordan rhalvangan ah Moses loh rho a paek coeng. Tedae amih khui ah Levi te tah rho a paek moenih.

For Moses had given the inheritance of the two and one-half tribes beyond the Jordan, but to the Levites he gave no inheritance.

4 Joseph ca rhoi te Manasseh neh Ephraim koca la om uh. Levi te khohmuen khuikah khoyo pae uh pawt dae khosak nah ham khopuei neh a boiva, a hnopai ham bueng ni a khocaak a khueh pah.

The tribe of Joseph was actually two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim. The Levites were given no portion of the inheritance in the land, but only certain cities to live in, with their pasturelands for livestock and for their own material resources.

5 BOEIPA loh Moses a uen vanbangla Israel ca rhoek loh a saii uh tih khohmuen a tael uh.

The people of Israel did as Yahweh commanded Moses, so they assigned the land.

6 Te vaengah Gilgal kah Joshua taengah Judah koca rhoek te thoeih uh. Te dongah Kenizzi Jephunneh capa Kaleb loh, “Kadeshbarnea ah Pathen kah hlang Moses taengah BOEIPA loh kai kawng neh nang kawng a thui vanbangla olka khaw namah loh na ming.

Then the tribe of Judah came to Joshua at Gilgal. Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, said to him, “You know what Yahweh said to Moses the man of God concerning you and me at Kadesh Barnea.

7 Kum sawmli ka lo ca vaengah BOEIPA kah sal Moses loh khohmuen hip hamla Kadeshbarnea lamloh kai n'tueih tih ka thinko kah aka om vanbangla olka khaw ka bal puei.

I was forty years old when Moses the servant of Yahweh sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy on the land. I brought him a report again as it was in my heart to make.

8 Te vaengah kamah neh ka cet hmaih ka manuca rhoek loh pilnam kah lungbuei a yut sak. Tedae kai tah BOEIPA ka Pathen hnukah ni ka tukkoei.

But my brothers who went up with me made the heart of the people melt with fear. But I completely followed Yahweh my God.

9 Te dongah Moses loh amah khohnin ah a toemngam tih, “Na kho loh a til khohmuen te tah namah kah rho la om saeh lamtah BOEIPA ka Pathen hnukah na tukkoei van dongah kumhal duela na ca rhoek ham om laeh saeh,” a ti.

Moses swore on that day, saying, 'Surely the land on which your foot has walked will be an inheritance for you and for your children forever, because you have completely followed Yahweh my God.'

10 Kum sawmli kumnga vaengah a thui vanbangla BOEIPA loh kai tahae due n'hlun coeng he. BOEIPA loh Moses taengah hekah olka a thui vaengah Israel he khosoek ah ni a pongpa. Te dongah kai khaw tihnin ah kum sawmrhet kum nga ka lo ca coeng he.

Now, look! Yahweh has kept me alive these forty-five years, just as he said—from the time when Yahweh spoke this word to Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness. Now, look! I am this day eighty-five years old.

11 Moses loh kai n'tueih hnin vaengkah bangla tihnin ah ka tlungluen pueng ta. Ka thadueng khaw ka thadueng nah pueng dongah caemtloek ham pataeng ka caeh rhoe ka caeh ham om.

I am still as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me out. My strength is now as my strength was then, for war and for going and coming.

12 Te dongah he kah tlang he kai taengah m'pae laeh. Te khohnin ah BOEIPA loh a thui te na yaak coeng. Te khohnin ah Anakim neh khopuei tanglue khaw cakrhuet dae, kai taengah BOEIPA a om khaming. Te dongah BOEIPA kah a thui bangla amih te ka haek bitni,” a ti nah.

Now therefore give me this hill country, which Yahweh promised me on that day. For you heard on that day that the Anakim were there with great fortified cities. It may be that Yahweh will be with me and that I will drive them out, just as Yahweh said.”

13 Te dongah Joshua loh yoethen a paek tih Hebron he Jephunneh capa Kaleb taengah rho la a paek.

Then Joshua blessed him and gave Hebron as an inheritance to Caleb son of Jephunneh.

14 Israel Pathen BOEIPA hnukah a tukkoei dongah Hebron tah tihnin duela Kenizzi Jephunneh capa Kaleb kah rho la om.

Therefore Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day, because he completely followed Yahweh, the God of Israel.

15 Hebron ming he khaw hlamat vaengah tah Anakim khuikah hlang len Kiriatharba tila om tih a khohmuen te caemrhal lamloh mong.

Now the name of Hebron formerly was Kiriath Arba. (Arba had been the greatest man among the Anakim.) Then the land had rest from war.
