约书亚记 14
1 以色列人在迦南地所得的产业，就是祭司以利亚撒和嫩的儿子约书亚，并以色列各支派的族长所分给他们的，都记在下面，
This was the land that was allotted to the Israelites to own in the land of Canaan by Eleazar the priest, Joshua, son of Nun, and the leaders of the tribes.
2 是照耶和华借摩西所吩咐的，把产业拈阄分给九个半支派。
The decision regarding the land division among the nine and a half tribes was made by casting lots, as the Lord had instructed Moses.
3 原来，摩西在约旦河东已经把产业分给那两个半支派，只是在他们中间没有把产业分给利未人。
Moses had allotted land to the two and a half tribes east of the Jordan but he had made no allocation to the Levites among them.
4 因为约瑟的子孙是两个支派，就是玛拿西和以法莲，所以没有把地分给利未人，但给他们城邑居住，并城邑的郊野，可以牧养他们的牲畜，安置他们的财物。
The descendants of Joseph had become two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim. The Levites were not given any land, only towns to live in and pasture for their flocks and herds.
5 耶和华怎样吩咐摩西，以色列人就照样行，把地分了。
So the Israelites followed the instructions the Lord had given Moses in allocating the land.
6 那时，犹大人来到吉甲见约书亚，有基尼洗族耶孚尼的儿子迦勒对约书亚说：“耶和华在加低斯·巴尼亚指着我与你对神人摩西所说的话，你都知道了。
Leaders from the tribe of Judah approached Joshua at Gilgal, and Caleb, son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, said to him, “You remember what the Lord told Moses, the man of God, at Kadesh-barnea about me and you.
7 耶和华的仆人摩西从加低斯·巴尼亚打发我窥探这地，那时我正四十岁；我按着心意回报他。
I was forty when Moses, the servant of God, sent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land. When I returned I told the truth in my report.
8 然而，同我上去的众弟兄使百姓的心消化；但我专心跟从耶和华—我的 神。
But those who went with me made our people afraid. However, I have faithfully followed the Lord my God.
9 当日摩西起誓说：‘你脚所踏之地定要归你和你的子孙永远为业，因为你专心跟从耶和华—我的 神。’
At that time Moses made a solemn promise, telling me, ‘The land where you have walked will belong to you and your children forever, because you faithfully followed the Lord my God.’
10 自从耶和华对摩西说这话的时候，耶和华照他所应许的使我存活这四十五年；其间以色列人在旷野行走。看哪，现今我八十五岁了，
Look—the Lord has kept me alive these past forty-five years as he promised, from the time the Lord told Moses this while Israel was wandering in the wilderness. Now I'm eighty-five,
11 我还是强壮，像摩西打发我去的那天一样；无论是争战，是出入，我的力量那时如何，现在还是如何。
but I'm still as strong today as when Moses sent me out. I'm as strong and ready for battle or for whatever may come as I was then.
12 求你将耶和华那日应许我的这山地给我；那里有亚衲族人，并宽大坚固的城，你也曾听见了。或者耶和华照他所应许的与我同在，我就把他们赶出去。”
So give me the hill country that the Lord spoke about. You heard at that time about the descendants of Anak who lived there in large, fortified towns. If the Lord is with me I will drive them out as the Lord promised.”
13 于是约书亚为耶孚尼的儿子迦勒祝福，将希伯 给他为业。
So Joshua blessed Caleb and granted him ownership of Hebron.
14 所以希伯 作了基尼洗族耶孚尼的儿子迦勒的产业，直到今日，因为他专心跟从耶和华—以色列的 神。
So Hebron belonged to Caleb, son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, from that day to this because he had faithfully followed the Lord, the God of Israel.
15 希伯 从前名叫基列·亚巴；亚巴是亚衲族中最尊大的人。于是国中太平，没有争战了。
(Hebron was formerly called Kiriath-arba, named after a great leader of the descendants of Anak.) And the land was at peace.
