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.

Pea ko e ngaahi fonua eni ʻaia naʻe maʻu ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani, ʻaia naʻe tufaki ʻe ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki mo Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Nuni, mo e ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe kau mātuʻa, ʻi he ngaahi faʻahinga ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ko e tofiʻa moʻonautolu.

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

Naʻe vahe talotalo pe ʻae tofiʻa ʻoe faʻahinga ʻe hiva mo hono vaeuaʻanga ʻoe faʻahinga ʻe taha, hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova ʻi he nima ʻo Mōsese.

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.

He kuo ʻosi hono foaki ʻe Mōsese ʻae tofiʻa ki he faʻahinga ʻe ua mo hono vaeuaʻanga ʻoe faʻahinga ʻi he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Soatani: ka naʻe ʻikai tuku ʻe ia ki he kau Livai ha tofiʻa ʻiate kinautolu.

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.

He ko e faʻahinga ʻe ua ʻoe fānau ʻa Siosefa, ko Manase mo ʻIfalemi: ko ia naʻe ʻikai ʻatu ha vāhenga ki he kau Livai ʻi he fonua, ka ko e ngaahi ʻapi kenau nofo ai, mo honau ngaahi potu ki heʻenau fanga manu, mo ʻenau koloa.

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

Hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, naʻe pehē pe hono fai ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻonau vahe ʻae fonua.

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.

Pea naʻe haʻu ai ʻae fānau ʻa Siuta kia Siosiua ki Kilikali: pea ko Kelepi ko e foha ʻo Sifune mei he faʻahinga ʻo Kenasi naʻe lea kiate ia, “ʻOku ke ʻilo ʻaia naʻe folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese ko e tangata ʻae ʻOtua kiate au mo koe ʻi Ketesi-pania.

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.

Naʻe fāngofulu taʻu hoku motuʻa ʻi he fekauʻi au ʻe Mōsese ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova mei Ketesi-pania ke matakiʻi ʻae fonua; pea ne u ʻomi kiate ia hono tala ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe ʻi hoku loto.

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.

Ka ko hoku ngaahi kāinga naʻe ʻalu hake mo au naʻa nau ngaohi ke vai ʻo ʻosi ʻae loto ʻoe kakai: ka naʻaku tuli tāupau kia Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua.

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.’

Pea naʻe fuakava ʻe Mōsese ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻo pehē, Ko e moʻoni ko e fonua ʻaia kuo tuʻu ki ai ho vaʻe ko e tofiʻa ia ʻoʻou, pea ki hoʻo fānau ʻo taʻengata, ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo tuli tāupau kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.

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,

Pea ko eni, vakai, kuo tauhi ʻeku moʻui ʻe Sihova, ʻo hangē ko ʻene folofola, ʻi he tau ni ʻe fāngofulu ma nima, ʻio talu hono folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻae lea ni kia Mōsese, ʻi he kei feʻaluʻaki fano ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he toafa: pea ko eni, vakai, ʻoku kakato ʻa hoku taʻu ʻe valungofulu ma nima he ʻaho ni.

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.

‌ʻOku ou kei mālohi tatau he ʻaho ni mo ʻeku mālohi ʻi he ʻaho ko ia naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese kiate au: ʻoku tatau pe ʻeku mālohi ko eni mo ʻeku mālohi ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ki he tau, ke ʻalu kituʻa, pea ke hū mai.

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.”

Pea ko eni, foaki mai kiate au ʻae moʻunga ni, ʻaia naʻe folofola ki ai ʻa Sihova ʻi he ʻaho ko ia; he naʻa ke fanongo ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae kau ʻAnaki, pea ko ʻenau ngaahi kolo naʻe fuʻu lahi, pea ʻāʻi: kapau ʻe ʻiate au ʻa Sihova, pea te u toki mafai ke kapusi ʻakinautolu, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova.”

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

Pea naʻe tāpuaki ia ʻe Siosiua, ʻo ne foaki kia Kelepi ko e foha ʻo Sifune ʻa Hepeloni ko hono tofiʻa.

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.

Ko ia naʻe hoko ai ʻa Hepeloni ko e tofiʻa ʻo Kelepi ko e foha ʻo Sifune ko e [tangata ]Kenasi ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene tuli tāupau kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.

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

Pea ko hono hingoa ʻi muʻa ʻo Hepeloni ko Kesa-ʻAlipa; ko ʻAlipa ko ia ko e tangata lahi ʻi he kau ʻAnaki. Pea naʻe mālōlō ʻae fonua mei he tau.
