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，

These are the inheritances which the children of Israel took in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the cohen, Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of ancestral houses of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed 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 the lot of their inheritance, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses, to give to 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 the two tribes and the half-tribe beyond the Jordan; but to the Levites he gave no 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 descendants of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim: and they gave no portion to the Levites in the land, except cities to dwell in, with their suburbs for their livestock and for their property.

5 耶和华怎样吩咐摩西，以色列人就照样行，把地分了。

The children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses, 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 descendants of Judah drew near to Joshua in Gilgal. Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, "You know the thing that the LORD spoke to Moses the man of God concerning me and concerning you 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。

I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land. I brought him word again as it was in my 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 brothers who 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。’

Moses swore on that day, saying, 'Surely the land where you walked shall be an inheritance to you and to your children forever, because you have 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，

Now, look, the LORD has kept me alive, as he spoke, these forty-five years, from the time that the LORD spoke this word to Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness. Now, look, I am eighty-five years old, today.

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。

I am still as strong today as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now for war, 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 hill country, of which the LORD spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there, and great and fortified cities. It may be that the LORD will be with me, and I shall drive them out, as the LORD spoke."

13 于是约书亚为耶孚尼的儿子迦勒祝福，将希伯 给他为业。

Joshua blessed him; and he gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh 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。

Therefore Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day; because he wholly 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。

Now the name of Hebron before was Kiriath Arba, after the greatest man among the Anakim. The land had rest from war.
