Joshua 14

1 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.

Kanaan kho ah Israel ca rhoek loh a pang uh he khaw khosoih Eleazar, Nun capa Joshua neh Israel ca rhoek kah cako khuiah a lu la aka om a napa rhoek long ni a phaeng.

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

Koca pako neh hlangvang ham rho he BOEIPA loh a uen vanbangla hmulung neh Moses kut loh a yueh pah.

3 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.

Koca panit neh hlangvang te Jordan rhalvangan ah Moses loh rho a paek coeng. Tedae amih khui ah Levi te tah rho a paek moenih.

4 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.

Joseph ca rhoi te Manasseh neh Ephraim koca la om uh. Levi te khohmuen khuikah khoyo pae uh pawt dae khosak nah ham khopuei neh a boiva, a hnopai ham bueng ni a khocaak a khueh pah.

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

BOEIPA loh Moses a uen vanbangla Israel ca rhoek loh a saii uh tih khohmuen a tael uh.

6 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.

Te vaengah Gilgal kah Joshua taengah Judah koca rhoek te thoeih uh. Te dongah Kenizzi Jephunneh capa Kaleb loh, “Kadeshbarnea ah Pathen kah hlang Moses taengah BOEIPA loh kai kawng neh nang kawng a thui vanbangla olka khaw namah loh na ming.

7 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.

Kum sawmli ka lo ca vaengah BOEIPA kah sal Moses loh khohmuen hip hamla Kadeshbarnea lamloh kai n'tueih tih ka thinko kah aka om vanbangla olka khaw ka bal puei.

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

Te vaengah kamah neh ka cet hmaih ka manuca rhoek loh pilnam kah lungbuei a yut sak. Tedae kai tah BOEIPA ka Pathen hnukah ni ka tukkoei.

9 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.’

Te dongah Moses loh amah khohnin ah a toemngam tih, “Na kho loh a til khohmuen te tah namah kah rho la om saeh lamtah BOEIPA ka Pathen hnukah na tukkoei van dongah kumhal duela na ca rhoek ham om laeh saeh,” a ti.

10 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,

Kum sawmli kumnga vaengah a thui vanbangla BOEIPA loh kai tahae due n'hlun coeng he. BOEIPA loh Moses taengah hekah olka a thui vaengah Israel he khosoek ah ni a pongpa. Te dongah kai khaw tihnin ah kum sawmrhet kum nga ka lo ca coeng he.

11 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.

Moses loh kai n'tueih hnin vaengkah bangla tihnin ah ka tlungluen pueng ta. Ka thadueng khaw ka thadueng nah pueng dongah caemtloek ham pataeng ka caeh rhoe ka caeh ham om.

12 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.”

Te dongah he kah tlang he kai taengah m'pae laeh. Te khohnin ah BOEIPA loh a thui te na yaak coeng. Te khohnin ah Anakim neh khopuei tanglue khaw cakrhuet dae, kai taengah BOEIPA a om khaming. Te dongah BOEIPA kah a thui bangla amih te ka haek bitni,” a ti nah.

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

Te dongah Joshua loh yoethen a paek tih Hebron he Jephunneh capa Kaleb taengah rho la a paek.

14 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.

Israel Pathen BOEIPA hnukah a tukkoei dongah Hebron tah tihnin duela Kenizzi Jephunneh capa Kaleb kah rho la om.

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

Hebron ming he khaw hlamat vaengah tah Anakim khuikah hlang len Kiriatharba tila om tih a khohmuen te caemrhal lamloh mong.
