< 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.
To so dežele, ki so jih Izraelovi otroci podedovali v kánaanski deželi, ki so jim jo duhovnik Eleazar, Nunov sin Józue in poglavarji očetov rodov Izraelovih otrok razdelili v dediščino.
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.
Njihova dediščina je bila po žrebu, kakor je Gospod zapovedal po Mojzesovi roki, za devet rodov in za polovico rodu.
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.
Kajti Mojzes je na drugi strani Jordana dal dediščino dvema rodovoma in polovici rodu, toda Lévijevcem med njimi ni dal nobene dediščine.
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.
Kajti od Jožefovih otrok sta bila dva rodova, Manáse in Efrájim. Zato v deželi niso dali nobenega deleža Lévijevcem, razen mest, da prebivajo v njih, z njihovimi predmestji za njihovo živino in za njihovo imetje.
5 So the Israelites followed the instructions the Lord had given Moses in allocating the land.
Kakor je Gospod zapovedal Mojzesu, tako so Izraelovi otroci storili in razdelili so deželo.
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.
Potem so Judovi otroci prišli k Józuetu v Gilgál in Jefunéjev sin Kaléb, Kenázovec, mu je rekel: »Ti poznaš stvar, ki jo je Gospod rekel Božjemu možu Mojzesu glede mene in tebe v Kadeš Barnéi.
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.
Štirideset let mi je bilo, ko me je Gospodov služabnik Mojzes poslal iz Kadeš Barnée, da ogledam deželo in ponovno sem mu prinesel besedo, kakor je bila ta v mojem srcu.
8 But those who went with me made our people afraid. However, I have faithfully followed the Lord my God.
Kljub temu so moji bratje, ki so z menoj odšli gor, ljudstvu stopili srce, toda jaz sem v celoti sledil Gospodu, svojemu Bogu.
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.’
Mojzes je na ta dan prisegel, rekoč: ›Zagotovo bo dežela, ki si jo pomendral s svojimi stopali, tvoja dediščina in tvojih otrok na veke, ker si v celoti sledil Gospodu, mojemu Bogu.‹
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,
Sedaj, glej, Gospod me je obdržal živega, kakor je rekel, teh petinštirideset let, celo odkar je Gospod spregovoril to besedo Mojzesu, medtem ko so Izraelovi otroci tavali po divjini. Sedaj glej, jaz sem danes star petinosemdeset let.
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.
Še danes sem tako močan, kakor sem bil na dan, ko me je poslal Mojzes. Kakršna je bila moja moč takrat, celo takšna je moja moč za vojno zdaj, tako za odhajanje kakor za prihajanje.
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.”
Zdaj mi torej daj to goro, o kateri je Gospod govoril na tisti dan, kajti na tisti dan si slišal kako so bili tam Anákovci in da so bila mesta velika in ograjena. Če bo tako, da bo Gospod z menoj, potem jih bom zmožen pognati ven, kakor je rekel Gospod.«
13 So Joshua blessed Caleb and granted him ownership of Hebron.
Józue ga je blagoslovil in Jefunéjevemu sinu Kalébu v dediščino izročil Hebrón.
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.
Hebrón je torej postal dediščina Jefunéjevega sina Kaléba, Kenázovca, do tega dne, zato ker je v celoti sledil Gospodu, Izraelovemu Bogu.
15 (Hebron was formerly called Kiriath-arba, named after a great leader of the descendants of Anak.) And the land was at peace.
Ime Hebróna je bilo prej Kirját Arba; ta Arbá je bil velik mož med Anákovci. In dežela je imela počitek pred vojno.
