< 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,
And these [are the countries] which the children of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed for inheritance to them.
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。
By lot [was] their inheritance, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes, and [for] the half tribe.
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。
For Moses had given the inheritance of two tribes and an half tribe on the other side Jordan: but unto the Levites he gave none inheritance 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。
For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim: therefore they gave no part unto the Levites in the land, save cities to dwell [in], with their suburbs for their cattle and for their substance.
5 耶和华怎样吩咐摩西,以色列人就照样行,把地分了。
As the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did, and they divided 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。
Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite said unto him, Thou knowest the thing that the LORD said unto Moses the man of God concerning me and thee in Kadesh-barnea.
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。
Forty years old [was] I when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh-barnea to espy out the land; and I brought him word again as [it was] in mine heart.
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。
Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt: but I wholly 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。’
And Moses sware on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon thy feet have trodden shall be thine inheritance, and thy children’s for ever, because thou hast wholly 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,
And now, behold, the LORD hath kept me alive, as he said, these forty and five years, even since the LORD spake this word unto Moses, while [the children of] Israel wandered in the wilderness: and now, lo, I [am] this day fourscore and five years old.
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。
As yet I [am as] strong this day as [I was] in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength [was] then, even so [is] my strength now, for war, both to go out, and to come in.
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。”
Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the LORD spake in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakims [were] there, and [that] the cities [were] great [and] fenced: if so be the LORD [will be] with me, then I shall be able to drive them out, as the LORD said.
13 于是约书亚为耶孚尼的儿子迦勒祝福,将希伯 给他为业。
And Joshua blessed him, and gave unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh Hebron for an inheritance.
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。
Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this day, because that he wholly followed the LORD 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。
And the name of Hebron before [was] Kirjath-arba; [which Arba was] a great man among the Anakims. And the land had rest from war.
