Joshua 14

1 And these are the heritages which the children of Israel took in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar, the priest, and Joshua, the son of Nun, and the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, gave out to them;

١ فَهَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلَّتِي ٱمْتَلَكَهَا بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ، ٱلَّتِي مَلَّكَهُمْ إِيَّاهَا أَلِعَازَارُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَيَشُوعُ بْنُ نُونَ وَرُؤَسَاءُ آبَاءِ أَسْبَاطِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

2 Their heritage by the Lord's decision, as he gave orders by Moses, for the nine tribes and the half-tribe.

٢ نَصِيبُهُمْ بِٱلْقُرْعَةِ كَمَا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْ يَدِ مُوسَى لِلتِّسْعَةِ ٱلْأَسْبَاطِ وَنِصْفِ ٱلسِّبْطِ.

3 For Moses had given their heritage to the two tribes and the half-tribe on the other side of Jordan, but to the Levites he gave no heritage among them.

٣ لِأَنَّ مُوسَى أَعْطَى نَصِيبَ ٱلسِّبْطَيْنِ وَنِصْفِ ٱلسِّبْطِ فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ. وَأَمَّا ٱللَّاوِيُّونَ فَلَمْ يُعْطِهِمْ نَصِيبًا فِي وَسَطِهِمْ.

4 Because the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim; and they gave the Levites no part in the land, only towns for their living-places, with the grass-lands for their cattle and for their property.

٤ لِأَنَّ بَنِي يُوسُفَ كَانُوا سِبْطَيْنِ: مَنَسَّى وَأَفْرَايِمَ. وَلَمْ يُعْطُوا ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ قِسْمًا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَّا مُدُنًا لِلسَّكَنِ، وَمَسَارِحَهَا لِمَوَاشِيهِمْ وَمُقْتَنَاهُمْ.

5 As the Lord had given orders to Moses, so the people of Israel did, and they made division of the land.

٥ كَمَا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى هَكَذَا فَعَلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقَسَمُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ.

6 Then the children of Judah went to Joshua in Gilgal; and Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, said to him, You have knowledge of what the Lord said to Moses, the man of God, about me and about you in Kadesh-barnea.

٦ فَتَقَدَّمَ بَنُو يَهُوذَا إِلَى يَشُوعَ فِي ٱلْجِلْجَالِ. وَقَالَ لَهُ كَالَبُ بْنُ يَفُنَّةَ ٱلْقَنِزِّيُّ: «أَنْتَ تَعْلَمُ ٱلْكَلَامَ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى رَجُلَ ٱللهِ مِنْ جِهَتِي وَمِنْ جِهَتِكَ فِي قَادَشِ بَرْنِيعَ.

7 I was forty years old when Moses, the servant of the Lord, sent me from Kadesh-barnea to make a search through the land; and the account which I gave him was in keeping with his desire.

٧ كُنْتُ ٱبْنَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ أَرْسَلَنِي مُوسَى عَبْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ مِنْ قَادَشِ بَرْنِيعَ لِأَتَجَسَّسَ ٱلْأَرْضَ. فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَيْهِ بِكَلَامٍ عَمَّا فِي قَلْبِي.

8 My brothers, however, who went up with me, made the heart of the people like water: but I was true to the Lord with all my heart.

٨ وَأَمَّا إِخْوَتِيَ ٱلَّذِينَ صَعِدُوا مَعِي فَأَذَابُوا قَلْبَ ٱلشَّعْبِ. وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَٱتَّبَعْتُ تَمَامًا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهِي.

9 And on that day Moses took an oath, saying, Truly the land where your feet have been placed will become a heritage for you and your children for ever, because you have been true to the Lord your God with all your heart.

٩ فَحَلَفَ مُوسَى فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ قَائِلًا: إِنَّ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي وَطِئَتْهَا رِجْلُكَ لَكَ تَكُونُ نَصِيبًا وَلِأَوْلَادِكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، لِأَنَّكَ ٱتَّبَعْتَ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهِي تَمَامًا.

10 And now, as you see, the Lord has kept me safe these forty-five years, from the time when the Lord said this to Moses, while Israel was wandering in the waste land: and now I am eighty-five years old.

١٠ وَٱلْآنَ فَهَا قَدِ ٱسْتَحْيَانِيَ ٱلرَّبُّ كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ هَذِهِ ٱلْخَمْسَ وَٱلْأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً، مِنْ حِينَ كَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى بِهَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ حِينَ سَارَ إِسْرَائِيلُ فِي ٱلْقَفْرِ. وَٱلْآنَ فَهَا أَنَا ٱلْيَوْمَ ٱبْنُ خَمْسٍ وَثَمَانِينَ سَنَةً.

11 And still, I am as strong today as I was when Moses sent me out: as my strength was then, so is it now, for war and for all the business of life.

١١ فَلَمْ أَزَلِ ٱلْيَوْمَ مُتَشَدِّدًا كَمَا فِي يَوْمَ أَرْسَلَنِي مُوسَى. كَمَا كَانَتْ قُوَّتِي حِينَئِذٍ، هَكَذَا قُوَّتِي ٱلْآنَ لِلْحَرْبِ وَلِلْخُرُوجِ وَلِلدُّخُولِ.

12 So now, give me this hill-country named by the Lord at that time; for you had an account of it then, how the Anakim were there, and great walled towns: it may be that the Lord will be with me, and I will be able to take their land, as the Lord said.

١٢ فَٱلْآنَ أَعْطِنِي هَذَا ٱلْجَبَلَ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ عَنْهُ ٱلرَّبُّ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ. لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أَنَّ ٱلْعَنَاقِيِّينَ هُنَاكَ، وَٱلْمُدُنُ عَظِيمَةٌ مُحَصَّنَةٌ. لَعَلَّ ٱلرَّبَّ مَعِي فَأَطْرُدَهُمْ كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ».

13 And Joshua gave him his blessing; and he gave Hebron to Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, for his heritage.

١٣ فَبَارَكَهُ يَشُوعُ، وَأَعْطَى حَبْرُونَ لِكَالَبَ بْنِ يَفُنَّةَ مُلْكًا.

14 So Hebron became the heritage of Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, to this day, because with all his heart he was true to the Lord, the God of Israel.

١٤ لِذَلِكَ صَارَتْ حَبْرُونُ لِكَالَبَ بْنِ يَفُنَّةَ ٱلْقَنِزِّيِّ مُلْكًا إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ، لِأَنَّهُ ٱتَّبَعَ تَمَامًا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

15 In earlier times the name of Hebron had been Kiriath-arba, named after Arba, the greatest of the Anakim. And the land had rest from war.

١٥ وَٱسْمُ حَبْرُونَ قَبْلًا قَرْيَةُ أَرْبَعَ، ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلْأَعْظَمِ فِي ٱلْعَنَاقِيِّينَ. وَٱسْتَرَاحَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ مِنَ ٱلْحَرْبِ.
