Joshua 14

1 Koro magi e kuonde mane jo-Israel oyudo kaka girkeni e piny Kanaan, ma Eliazar jadolo, Joshua wuod Nun to gi jotend dhout Israel nopogonegi.

Now these are the portions that the Israelites inherited in the land of Canaan, as distributed by Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the families of the tribes of Israel.

2 Girkeni mag-gi nochiw kuom goyo ombulu ni dhoudi ochiko gi nus, kaka Jehova Nyasaye nosechiko kokalo kuom Musa.

Their inheritance was assigned by lot for the nine and a half tribes, as the LORD had commanded through Moses.

3 Musa nosepogo yo wuok chiengʼ mar aora Jordan ni dhoudi ariyo gi nus kaka girkeni, to ne ok opogo jo-Lawi girkeni e dier ogendini moko,

For Moses had given the inheritance east of the Jordan to the other two and a half tribes. But he granted no inheritance among them to the Levites.

4 nimar yawuot Josef ne osepogore mi obedo dhoudi ariyo ma gin, Manase gi Efraim. Jo-Lawi ne ok oyudo pok moro e pinyno makmana mier mag dak, to gi lege ma rombgi kod dhogi nyalo kwayoe.

The descendants of Joseph became two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim. And no portion of the land was given to the Levites, except for cities in which to live, along with pasturelands for their flocks and herds.

5 Omiyo jo-Israel nopogo pinyno mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nosechiko Musa.

So the Israelites did as the LORD had commanded Moses, and they divided the land.

6 Eka jo-Juda nodhi ir Joshua Gilgal kendo Kaleb ma wuod Jefune ma ja-Kenizi nowachone niya, “Ingʼeyo gima Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Musa, ngʼat Nyasaye ka en Kadesh Barnea kuomi kod an.

Then the sons of Judah approached Joshua at Gilgal, and Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, “You know what the LORD said to Moses the man of God at Kadesh-barnea about you and me.

7 Ne an ja-higni piero angʼwen kinde mane Musa jatich Jehova Nyasaye noora ka aa Kadesh Barnea mondo anon pinyni, kendo naduogone wach kaka chunya noneno,

I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land, and I brought back to him an honest report.

8 to owetena mane odhi koda nokelo wach mane onyoso chuny ji. To kata kamano, an to naluwo Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasacha gi chunya duto.

Although my brothers who went with me made the hearts of the people melt with fear, I remained loyal to the LORD my God.

9 Omiyo odiechiengno Musa nokwongʼorena ni, ‘E pinyno matiendi osenyono biro bedo girkeni magi kendo gi nyithindi nyaka chiengʼ, nikech useluwo Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasacha gi chunyu duto.’

On that day Moses swore to me, saying, ‘Surely the land on which you have set foot will be an inheritance to you and your children forever, because you have wholly followed the LORD my God.’

10 “Koro mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nosingo, osemiya ngima kuom higni piero angʼwen gabich nyaka nowach ne Musa wachni, e kinde mane jo-Israel ne pod wuotho e thim. Omiyo Jehova Nyasaye oserito ngimana, makoro an gi higni piero aboro gabich!

Now behold, as the LORD promised, He has kept me alive these forty-five years since He spoke this word to Moses, while Israel wandered in the wilderness. So here I am today, eighty-five years old,

11 Kata kawuono pod ategno mana ka kinde mane Musa ooracha, kendo pod an-gi ilo mar dhi oko mondo akedi mana kaka ne an ndalo cha.

still as strong today as I was the day Moses sent me out. As my strength was then, so it is now for war, for going out, and for coming in.

12 Koro miya piny manie godni mane Jehova Nyasaye nosingona odiechiengʼ cha. In iwuon ni iwinjo ni jo-Anak ni kanyo kendo miechgi madongo ne lach kendo ochiel gohinga makmana Jehova Nyasaye kokonya to abiro riembogi oko mana kaka nowacho.”

Now therefore give me this hill country that the LORD promised me on that day, for you yourself heard then that the Anakim were there, with great and fortified cities. Perhaps with the LORD’s help I will drive them out, as the LORD has spoken.”

13 Eka Joshua nogwedho Kaleb wuod Jefune mi omiye Hebron kaka girkeni mare.

Then Joshua blessed Caleb son of Jephunneh and gave him Hebron as his inheritance.

14 Omiyo Hebron osebedo mar Kaleb wuod Jefune ma ja-Kenizi nyaka aa chiengʼno, nikech noluwo Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasach Israel, gi chunye duto.

Therefore Hebron belongs to Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite as an inheritance to this day, because he wholly followed the LORD, the God of Israel.

15 Chon ni luongo Hebron ni Kiriath Arba kaluwore gi Arba, mane jatelo maduongʼ e dier jo-Anak. Bangʼe pinyno nobedo gi kwe.

(Hebron used to be called Kiriath-arba, after Arba, the greatest man among the Anakim.) Then the land had rest from war.
