Joshua 14
1 Kanaan ram dawkvah, vaihma Eleazar, Nun e capa Joshua hoi Isarelnaw miphun dawk e khobawinaw ni râw a rei awh teh, Isarelnaw ni râw teh a coe awh.
Eleazar the Supreme Priest, Joshua, and the leaders of the [twelve] tribes repeated what land would be allotted to each of the Israeli tribes in Canaan.
2 BAWIPA Cathut Mosi koe lawk a thui e patetlah Isarel miphunnaw phun tako touh hoi tangawn ni cungpam a khoe awh teh râw a coe awh.
Yahweh had told Moses many years previously in what way he wanted the division of the land to be decided. Moses had already declared that two and a half tribes would be allotted land on the east side of the Jordan [River]. Joseph had two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim. [Half of the tribe descended from Manasseh was allotted land on the east side of the Jordan, along with the tribes of Reuben and Gad]. The people belonging to the nine and a half other tribes [on the west side of the Jordan River] threw (lots/stones that had been marked) to decide which land each tribe would receive. The tribe of Levi was not allotted any land. They received only towns [that already existed], towns in which to live, and (pastures/fields of grass) for their animals.
3 Mosi ni Isarel miphun hlaikahni touh hoi tangawn hah Jordan palang kanîtholah râw lah a poe toe. Levihnaw teh a louk e miphunnaw hoi kâkalawt lah râw poe awh hoeh.
4 Joseph miphun, Manasseh miphun, Ephraim miphun, miphun kahni touh lah ao teh, Levihnaw ni a onae kho, Ahnimae saring hoi hnopainaw hah, a ta nahane kho hloilah alouke talai poe awh hoeh.
5 Mosi koe BAWIPA ni lawk a thui e patetlah Isarel miphunnaw ni talai teh a kârei awh.
6 Hahoi Judah miphunnaw teh Gilgal kho hoi Joshua koe a tho awh teh, Keniz miphun Jephunneh e capa Kaleb ni BAWIPA Cathut teh, Kadeshbarnea e hmuen koe nang hoi kai panue saknae lah Cathut e tami Mosi koe kâ a poe e lawk teh, nang ni na panue.
One day some men from the tribe of Judah went to Joshua while he and all the Israelis were at Gilgal. Among those men was Jephunneh’s son Caleb. He said to Joshua, “[I am sure that] you remember what Yahweh said to the prophet Moses about you and me when we were at Kadesh-Barnea.
7 Hete ram tuet hanelah BAWIPA e san Mosi ni kai heh Kadeshbernea vah na patoun nah, kai teh kum 40 ka pha toe. Kai teh kama e lung thung kaawm e patetlah bout ka dei pouh.
I was 40 years old at that time. Moses sent me [and you and some other men] to explore this land. When we returned, I gave to Moses a true report [IDM] about what we had seen.
8 Kai hoi rei ka cet e hmaunawnghanaw ni taminaw lung a pout sak awh eiteh, BAWIPA Cathut hnuk doeh khoeroe ka kâbang.
The other men who went with us [gave a report that] caused the people to be afraid [IDM]. But I fully/completely believed [that] Yahweh [would enable us to take the land from the people who lived there].
9 Hat hnin vah Mosi ni, nang teh kaie BAWIPA Cathut e hnuk dueng na kâbang dawkvah, nang ni na coungroe e talai pueng teh, a yungyoe nange râw, nange catounnaw e râw lah ao han telah thoe a bo.
So on that day, Moses solemnly promised me, ‘[Some of] the land on which you walked will become yours. It will belong to your descendants forever. I am giving it to you because you fully trusted in Yahweh, my God.’
10 Isarelnaw ni kahrawngum kâhei awh navah, Cathut ni hottelah, Mosi koe kâ a poe nah hnin hoi atu totouh, kum 45 touh thung kai heh na hring sak teh, atuteh kum 85 touh ka pha toe.
“Now Yahweh has done for me what he promised. Forty-five years have passed since Moses said that to me during the time that we were wandering around in the desert. And just like Yahweh promised, he has kept me alive and well all during that time. Now I am eighty-five years old.
11 Hateiteh, Mosi ni na patoun na hnin e ka thao e patetlah, atu hai ao rah. Hat navah tâco kâennae, taran tuknae koe kâroe thai e patetlah, atu hai kâroe thai rah.
I am as strong today as I was on the day that Moses sent me [to explore this land]. I am as ready to fight now as I was then.
12 Hatdawkvah hat hnin BAWIPA ni kâ poe e, hete mon hah kai na poe haw. Hete mon dawkvah Anakim taminaw a onae, kalenpounge ka cak poung e khopuinaw a kawi hah, hat hnin vah nang ni na thai toe. Hatei Cathut teh, kai hoi rei awm pawiteh, kâ na poe e patetlah hotnaw hah pâlei hanelah, kai ni ka ti thai atipouh.
So please give me the hilly area that Yahweh promised to give to me at that time long ago. At that time, you heard [me say] that the Amalek people-group lived there. You heard me say that their cities were large, and they had walls around them [to protect them from attacks by their enemies]. But now, Yahweh will help me, and as a result I will force them to leave, just like Yahweh said would happen.”
13 Hat torei teh, Joshua ni yawhawi a poe. Hebron ram hai Jephunneh e capa Kaleb ni râw coe hanelah a poe.
So Joshua [asked God to] bless Caleb, and he gave to Caleb [the city of] Hebron.
14 Hatdawkvah, Keniz miphun Jephunneh e a capa Kaleb ni Isarelnaw e BAWIPA Cathut e hnuk a kâbang dawkvah, Hebron ram teh sahnin totouh Kaleb e râw lah ao.
Previously that city was called Kiriath-Arba, because Arba was the greatest man among the Amalek people-group. Hebron still belongs to the descendants of Caleb, because Caleb completely/fully trusted in Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], and obeyed him. After that happened, there was (peace/no battles) in [Canaan] land [for many years].
15 Hebron kho teh, yampa vah, Kiriath-Arba lah ao. Arba teh, Anakim miphunnaw dawk kacue lah ao. Hat navah, ram thung tarantuknae a roum.
