Joshua 14

1 This was the land that was allotted to the Israelites to own in the land of Canaan by Eleazar the priest, Joshua, son of Nun, and the leaders of the tribes.

Pa inge acn ma mwet tol Eleazar, ac Joshua wen natul Nun, ac mwet kol lun kais sie sou elos kitalik nu sin sruf lun mwet Israel tuh in ma lalos. Acn inge oan Canaan, lefahl roto in Infacl Jordan.

2 The decision regarding the land division among the nine and a half tribes was made by casting lots, as the Lord had instructed Moses.

Kitakatelik lun acn inge nu sin sruf eu tafu lefahl roto in Infacl Jordan orekla ke fa, oana ma LEUM GOD El tuh sapkin nu sel Moses.

3 Moses had allotted land to the two and a half tribes east of the Jordan but he had made no allocation to the Levites among them.

Moses el nuna sang tari lefahl kutulap in Infacl Jordan nu sin sruf luo tafu, tusruktu wangin acn el sang nu sin sruf lal Levi.

4 The descendants of Joseph had become two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim. The Levites were not given any land, only towns to live in and pasture for their flocks and herds.

Tulik natul Joseph tuh kitakatelik nu ke sruf luo — Manasseh ac Ephraim. A tulik natul Levi tuh tia wi eis acn, sayen acn in muta ac acn in tohf kosro natulos.

5 So the Israelites followed the instructions the Lord had given Moses in allocating the land.

Ouinge mwet Israel elos tuh kitalik acn uh oana ma LEUM GOD El tuh sapkin nu sel Moses.

6 Leaders from the tribe of Judah approached Joshua at Gilgal, and Caleb, son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, said to him, “You remember what the Lord told Moses, the man of God, at Kadesh-barnea about me and you.

Sie len ah kutu mwet ke sruf lal Judah elos tuku nu yorol Joshua nu in acn Gilgal. Sie selos pa Caleb, wen natul Jephunneh mwet Keniz. El fahk nu sel Joshua, “Kom etu tari ma LEUM GOD El tuh fahk nu sel Moses in acn Kadesh Barnea keiktal.

7 I was forty when Moses, the servant of God, sent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land. When I returned I told the truth in my report.

Nga yac angngaul ke pacl se Moses, mwet kulansap lun LEUM GOD, El tuh supweyu Kadesh Barnea lac in kalngei facl se inge. Ke nga tuh foloko nga fahkak nufon nunak luk ke ma nga tuh liye we ah.

8 But those who went with me made our people afraid. However, I have faithfully followed the Lord my God.

Tusruktu mwet ma tuh wiyu som ah, elos tuh fahk na kas in akmunasye nunak lun mwet ah. Ne ouinge, nga tuh tu na ku ke lulalfongi luk in LEUM GOD luk.

9 At that time Moses made a solemn promise, telling me, ‘The land where you have walked will belong to you and your children forever, because you faithfully followed the Lord my God.’

Ke sripa se inge Moses el tuh wulela mu acn nukewa nga fahla fac, ac fah ma luk ac tulik nutik.

10 Look—the Lord has kept me alive these past forty-five years as he promised, from the time the Lord told Moses this while Israel was wandering in the wilderness. Now I'm eighty-five,

Inge yac akangngaul limekosr lac tukun pacl se LEUM GOD El tuh fahk ma inge nu sel Moses. In pacl sac mwet Israel elos srakna fufahsryesr yen mwesis. Na LEUM GOD El sruokya moul luk oana el tuh wulela, ac liye, misenge nga yac oalngoul limekosr.

11 but I'm still as strong today as when Moses sent me out. I'm as strong and ready for battle or for whatever may come as I was then.

Nga srakna ku misenge, oapana nga tuh ku ke pacl se Moses el tuh supweyula ah. Nga srakna ku in mweun ku oru kutena ma.

12 So give me the hill country that the Lord spoke about. You heard at that time about the descendants of Anak who lived there in large, fortified towns. If the Lord is with me I will drive them out as the Lord promised.”

Ke ma inge, ase nu sik acn fineol uh, oana ke LEUM GOD El tuh wulema nu sik ke len se nga ac mwet wiyu tuh fahkak ke ma kut liye ah. Kut tuh fahk nu sum lah mwet na yohk pisa ac ku, pangpang mwet Anakim, elos muta we, ac siti selos arulana yohk ac kuhlusyukyak. Sahp LEUM GOD El ac fah wiyu, ac nga fah ku in ukwalosyak oana ke LEUM GOD El tuh fahk ah.”

13 So Joshua blessed Caleb and granted him ownership of Hebron.

Joshua el akinsewowoyal Caleb, wen natul Jephunneh, ac sang siti Hebron tuh in ma lal.

14 So Hebron belonged to Caleb, son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, from that day to this because he had faithfully followed the Lord, the God of Israel.

Siti se inge srakna ma lun tulik natul Caleb, wen natul Jephunneh su mwet Keniz, mweyen Caleb el tuh tu na ku ke lulalfongi lal in LEUM GOD lun Israel.

15 (Hebron was formerly called Kiriath-arba, named after a great leader of the descendants of Anak.) And the land was at peace.

Tuh pangpang acn se inge siti sel Arba meet liki itukyang lal Caleb. (Arba pa mwet se pwengpeng emeet sin mwet Anakim.) Na acn we mongla liki mweun.
