< 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;
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 heritage by the Lord's decision, as he gave orders by Moses, for the nine tribes and the half-tribe.
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 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.
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 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.
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 As the Lord had given orders to Moses, so the people of Israel did, and they made division of 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 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.
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 make a search through the land; and the account which I gave him was in keeping with his desire.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 And Joshua gave him his blessing; and he gave Hebron to Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, for his heritage.
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 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.
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 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.
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
