約書亞記 14
1 以下是以色列子孫在客納罕地所得的產業，那是司祭厄肋阿責爾和農的兒子若蘇厄，以及以色列子孫各支派的族長給他們劃分的，
And these [are] they [of] the sons of Israel who inherited in the land of Canaan, whom Eleazar the priest, and Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the sons of Israel, caused to inherit;
2 按照上主藉梅瑟吩咐的，以抽籤方式將土地分給又個支派，
by lot [is] their inheritance, as Jehovah commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine of the tribes, and the half of the tribe;
3 因為梅瑟在約旦河東，已將產業分給了另兩個支派；在他們中只沒有給肋未人分配產業。
for Moses hath given the inheritance of two of the tribes, and of half of the tribe, beyond the Jordan, and to the Levites he hath not given an inheritance in their midst;
4 實際上，若瑟的子孫形成了兩個支派，即默納協和厄弗辣因。雖沒有分配給肋未人產業，卻給了他們一些城市作住所，和城郊草地，為牧放他們的的牲畜和羊群。
for the sons of Joseph hath been two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim, and they have not given a portion to the Levites in the land, except cities to dwell in, and their suburbs for their cattle, and for their possessions;
5 上主怎樣吩咐梅瑟，以色列子民便怎樣進行劃分土地。
as Jehovah commanded Moses, so have the sons of Israel done, and they apportion the land.
6 猶大的子孫來到基加耳見若蘇厄時，刻納次族耶孚乃的兒子加肋布對若蘇厄說：「上主在卡德士巴爾乃亞，關於你和我對天主的人梅瑟所說的話，你是知道的。
And the sons of Judah come nigh unto Joshua in Gilgal, and Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenezzite saith unto him, 'Thou hast known the word that Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses the man of God, concerning me and concerning thee in Kadesh-Barnea:
7 當上主的僕人梅瑟從卡德士巴爾乃亞，派我去偵探這地方時，我正十四歲，我全按我的良心回報了衪。
a son of forty years [am] I in Moses, servant of Jehovah, sending me from Kadesh-Barnea, to spy the land, and I bring him back word as with my heart;
8 當與一同上去的弟兄們使百姓喪氣時，我紿終服從了上主我的天主。
and my brethren who have gone up with me have caused the heart of the people to melt, and I have been fully after Jehovah my God;
9 那天梅瑟曾起誓說：你的腳所踏過[的地方，必定永久歸你和你們的子孫作為產業，因為你始終服從了上主我的天主。
and Moses sweareth in that day, saying, If not — the land on which thy foot hath trodden, to thee it is for inheritance, and to thy sons — to the age, for thou hast been fully after Jehovah my God.
10 現在你看，自從上主對梅瑟說了這話，上主便照所應許的，使我又活了四十五歲，經過了以色列人在曠野漂流的時期，現在我已是八十五歲的人了。
'And, now, lo, Jehovah hath kept me alive, as He hath spoken, these forty and five years, since Jehovah spake this word unto Moses, when Israel went in the wilderness; and now, lo, I [am] to-day a son of five and eighty years;
11 但我現在還很強壯，如派我去的那一天一樣；不拘是打仗或是出入行動，我現在的力量和那時完全一樣。
yet [am] I to-day strong as in the day of Moses' sending me; as my power then, so [is] my power now, for battle, and to go out, and to come in.
12 現在，請你將上主所許下的那座山地賜給我，因為那天你也曾聽過這話。固然，那裏有有阿納克人，城池又大又堅固，或許上主會與我同在，照上主所應許的，我能將他們趕走。」
'And now, give to me this hill-country, of which Jehovah spake in that day, for thou didst hear in that day, for Anakim [are] there, and cities, great, fenced; if so be Jehovah [is] with me, then I have dispossessed them, as Jehovah hath spoken.'
13 若蘇厄就祝福了他，將赫貝龍給了耶孚乃的兒子加肋布作為產業。
And Joshua blesseth him, and giveth Hebron to Caleb son of Jephunneh for an inheritance,
14 因此赫貝龍直到今日仍為刻納次人耶孚乃的兒子加肋布的產業因為他紿終服從了上主以色列的天主。
therefore hath Hebron been to Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenezzite for an inheritance unto this day, because that he was fully after Jehovah, God of Israel;
15 赫貝龍以前名叫克黎雅特阿爾巴，原是阿納克人中的一個偉人。以後國內昇平，再無戰事。
and the name of Hebron formerly [is] Kirjath-Arba (he [is] the great man among the Anakim); and the land hath rest from war.
