< 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.
イスラエルの子孫がカナンの地にて取しその產業の地は左のごとし即ち祭司エレアザル、ヌンの子ヨシユアおよびイスラエルの子孫の支派の族長等これを彼らに分ち
2 Their inheritance was assigned by lot for the nine and a half tribes, as the LORD had commanded through Moses.
ヱホバがモーセによりて命じたまひしごとく產業の籤によりて之を九の支派および半の支派に與ふ
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.
其はヨルダンの彼旁にてモーセ已にかの二の支派と半の支派とに產業を與へたればなり但しレビ人には之が中に產業を與へざりき
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.
是はヨセフの子孫マナセ、エフライムの二の支派と成たるに因て然りレビ人には此地において何の分をも與へず唯その住べき邑々およびその家畜と貨財を置べき郊地を與へしのみ
5 So the Israelites did as the LORD had commanded Moses, and they divided the land.
イスラエルの子孫ヱホバのモーセに命じたまひしごとく行ひてその地を分てり
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.
茲にユダの子孫ギルガルにてヨシユアの許に至りケニズ人ヱフンネの子カレブ、ヨシユアに言けるはヱホバ、カデシバルネアにて我と汝との事につきて神の人モーセに告たまひし事あり汝これを知る
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.
ヱホバの僕モーセが此地を窺はせんとて我をカデシバルネアより遣はしし時に我は四十歳なりき其時我は心に思ふまにまに彼に復命したり
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.
我とともに上り往しわが兄弟等は民の心を挫くことを爲たりしが我は全く我神ヱホバに從へり
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.’
その日モーセ誓ひて言けらく汝の足の踐たる地は必ず永く汝と汝の子孫の產業となるべし汝まったく我神ヱホバに從がひたればなりと
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,
ヱホバこの言をモーセに語りたまひし時より已來イスラエルが荒野に歩みたる此四十五年の間かく其のたまひし如く我を生存らへさせたまへり視よ我は今日すでに八十五歳なるが
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.
今日もなほモーセの我を遣はしたりし日のごとく健剛なり我が今の力はかの時の力のごとくにして出入し戰闘をなすに堪ふ
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.”
然ば彼日ヱホバの語りたまひし此山を我に與へよ汝も彼日聞たる如く彼處にはアナキ人をりその邑々は大にして堅固なり然ながらヱホバわれとともに在して我つひにヱホバの宣ひしごとく彼らを逐はらふことを得んと
13 Then Joshua blessed Caleb son of Jephunneh and gave him Hebron as his inheritance.
ヨシユア、ヱフンネの子カレブを祝しヘブロンをこれに與へて產業となさしむ
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.
是をもてヘブロンは今日までケニズ人ヱフンネの子カレブの產業となりをる是は彼まつたくイスラエルの神ヱホバに從がひたればなり
15 (Hebron used to be called Kiriath-arba, after Arba, the greatest man among the Anakim.) Then the land had rest from war.
ヘブロンの名は元はキリアテアルバと曰ふアルバはアナキ人の中の最も大なる人なりき茲にいたりてその地に戰爭やみぬ
