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.

Bino by’ebitundu Abayisirayiri bye baafuna ng’omugabo mu nsi y’e Kanani, Eriyazaali kabona, ne Yoswa, omwana wa Nuuni, n’emitwe gy’ennyumba eza bakitaabwe ez’ebika by’abaana ba Isirayiri bye baabagabira.

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.

Emigabo baagifunanga nga bakuba kalulu nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa olw’ebika omwenda n’ekitundu,

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.

kubanga Musa yali agabidde ebika ebibiri n’ekitundu omugabo gwabwe emitala wa Yoludaani, naye Abaleevi bo teyabagabira;

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.

kubanga abaana ba Yusufu baali bafuuse ebika bibiri, Manase ne Efulayimu, bo Abaleevi ne bataweebwa mugabo gwonna mu nsi, wabula ebibuga byokka eby’okubeeramu, n’ensiko ey’okulundiramu ebisibo byabwe n’ebintu byabwe.

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

Abantu ba Isirayiri ne bagabana ensi nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.

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.

Abantu ba Yuda ne balyoka bajja eri Yoswa e Girugaali, ne Kalebu omwana wa Yefune Omukenizi n’amugamba nti, “Omanyi Mukama kye yayogera ne Musa omusajja wa Katonda e Kadesubanea ekikwata ku ggwe nange.

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.

Nalina emyaka amakumi ana, Musa omuweereza wa Mukama bwe yantuma okuva e Kadesubanea okuketta ensi, era namuleteera ekigambo nga bwe kyali mu mutima gwange.

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

Naye baganda bange be nnali nabo ne baleteera emitima gy’abantu okuggwaamu amaanyi olw’okutya, wabula nze nagoberera Mukama Katonda wange n’omutima gwange gwonna.

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.’

Era Musa yandayirira nti, ‘Ensi ebigere byo kwe biririnnya, mugabo gwo n’abaana bo emirembe gyonna, kubanga ogoberedde Mukama Katonda wange n’omutima gwo gwonna.’

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,

“Era kaakano Mukama ampangaazizza nga bwe yayogera emyaka gino amakumi ana okuva lwe yakigamba Musa, nga Isirayiri etambula mu ddungu. Era laba kaakano ndi wa myaka kinaana!

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.

Nkyalina amaanyi leero nga ge nalina Musa bwe yantuma, amaanyi ge nnina leero galinga ge nalina mu kulwana, mu kufuluma ne mu kuyingira.

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.”

Kale noolwekyo mpa olusozi luno, Mukama lwe yayogera ku lunaku luli, kubanga wawulira ku olwo ng’Abanaki kwe baali n’ebibuga ebinene ebiriko enkomera. Mukama nga ye mubeezi wange, nnaabagoba nga Mukama bwe yayogera.”

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

Yoswa n’amusabira omukisa n’awa Kalebu omwana wa Yefune Omukenezi Kebbulooni okuba omugabo gwe.

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.

Olusozi Kebbulooni ne lufuuka lwa Kalebu mutabani wa Yefune ne leero, kubanga yagoberera ddala Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri.

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

Kebbulooni edda kyayitibwanga Kiriasualuba era Aluba ye yali omukulu asingayo mu Banaki. Olwo ensi n’eryoka ewummula n’etebaamu ntalo.
