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.

Ovo je što su dobili u baštinu sinovi Izraelovi u zemlji kanaanskoj - što su im razdijelili u baštinu svećenik Eleazar i Jošua, sin Nunov, i glavari porodica izraelskih plemena.

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

Ždrijebom su razdijelili baštinu, kao što je Jahve odredio preko Mojsija, među devet plemena i polovinu desetoga plemena.

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.

Mojsije je odredio baštinu dvama plemenima i polovini desetog plemena s onu stranu Jordana, a levitima nije dao baštine među njima.

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.

Jer bijahu dva plemena sinova Josipovih: Manašeovo i Efrajimovo. A levitima nisu dali dijela u zemlji nego gradove za prebivanje i pašnjake za njihovu stoku i za blago njihovo.

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

Kako je Jahve zapovjedio Mojsiju, tako su učinili sinovi Izraelovi pri diobi zemlje.

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.

Sinovi Judini pristupe k Jošui u Gilgalu, a Kaleb, sin Jefuneov, Kenižanin, reče mu: “Ti znaš što je Jahve rekao Mojsiju, čovjeku Božjem, za mene i za tebe u Kadeš Barnei.

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.

Bilo mi je četrdeset godina kad me posla Mojsije, sluga Jahvin, iz Kadeš Barnee da uhodim zemlju. I donio sam mu izvješće kako sam najbolje znao.

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.

Braća koja su pošla sa mnom uplašila su srce naroda, ali sam ja vršio volju Jahve, Boga svojega.

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.’

I onoga se dana zakle Mojsije: 'Zemlja kojom je stupala noga tvoja pripast će tebi i sinovima tvojim u vječnu baštinu, jer si vršio volju Jahve, Boga mojega.'

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,

I vidiš, Jahve me sačuvao u životu, kao što je rekao. Već je prošlo četrdeset i pet godina kako je Jahve to obećao Mojsiju, dok je Izrael još išao pustinjom; sada mi je osamdeset i pet godina,

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.

ali sam još i danas snažan kao što sam bio onoga dana kad me Mojsije poslao kao uhodu. Kao nekoć, i sada je moja snaga u meni, za borbu, da odem i da se vratim.

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.”

Daj mi sada ovo gorje, koje mi je Jahve obećao onoga dana. Sam si čuo onoga dana. Ondje su Anakovci, a i gradovi su im veliki i tvrdi. Ako je Jahve sa mnom, protjerat ću ih, kako je to obećao Jahve.”

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

Tada ga Jošua blagoslovi i dade Kalebu, sinu Jefuneovu, Hebron u baštinu.

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.

Hebron je pripao u baštinu Kalebu, sinu Jefuneovu, Kenižaninu, sve do danas, jer je Kaleb vršio volju Jahve, Boga Izraelova.

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

Hebron se prije zvao Kirjat Arba; a Arba bijaše velik čovjek među Anakovcima. I počinu zemlja od rata.
