Joshua 14

1 These also are the places which the children of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the Priest, and Ioshua the sonne of Nun and the chiefe fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed to them,

١ وَأَوْرَثَ أَلِعَازَارُ الْكَاهِنُ وَيَشُوعُ بْنُ نُونَ وَقَادَةُ الشَّعْبِ أَبْنَاءَ إِسْرَائِيلَ الأَرَاضِي الَّتِي اسْتَوْلَوْا عَلَيْهَا فِي كَنْعَانَ

2 By the lot of their inheritance, as the Lord had commanded by the hande of Moses, to giue to the nine tribes, and the halfe tribe.

٢ وَتَمَّ تَوْزِيعُهَا عَلَى التِّسْعَةِ الأَسْبَاطِ وَنِصْفِ السِّبْطِ بِالْقُرْعَةِ بِمُوْجِبِ مَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ بِهِ عَلَى لِسَانِ مُوسَى

3 For Moses had giuen inheritance vnto two tribes and an halfe tribe, beyond Iorde: but vnto the Leuites he gaue none inheritance among them.

٣ إِذْ إِنَّ مُوسَى كَانَ قَدْ وَهَبَ السِّبْطَيْنِ وَنِصْفَ السِّبْطِ مِيرَاثاً فِي شَرْقِيِّ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ، وَأَمَّا اللّاوِيُّونَ فَلَمْ يُوَرِّثْهُمْ نَصِيباً بَيْنَهُمْ،

4 For the childre of Ioseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim: therefore they gaue no part vnto the Leuites in the lande, saue cities to dwell in, with the suburbes of the same for their beastes and their substance.

٤ لأَنَّ ذُرِّيَّةَ يُوسُفَ كَانَتْ تَنْتَمِي إِلَى سِبْطَيْ مَنَسَّى وَأَفْرَايِمَ، أَمَّا اللّاوِيُّونَ فَلَمْ يُوَزِّعْ مُوسَى عَلَيْهِمْ أَرْضاً وَلَمْ يُوَرِّثْهُمْ سِوَى مُدُنٍ يُقِيمُونَ فِيهَا وَمَرَاعٍ مُجَاوِرَةٍ لِرَعْيِ مَوَاشِيهِمْ وَبَهَائِمِهِمْ.

5 As the Lord had commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did when they deuided the land.

٥ وَهَكَذَا قَسَمَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ الأَرْضَ طِبْقاً لأَمْرِ الرَّبِّ لِمُوسَى.

6 Then the children of Iudah came vnto Ioshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh the Kenezite saide vnto him, Thou knowest what the Lord saide vnto Moses the man of God, concerning me and thee in Kadesh-barnea.

٦ وَأَقْبَلَ وَفْدٌ مِنْ سِبْطِ يَهُوذَا عَلَى يَشُوعَ فِي الْجِلْجَالِ، وَقَالَ لَهُ كَالَبُ بْنُ يَفُنَّةَ الْقَنِزِّيُّ: «أَنْتَ تَذْكُرُ مَا خَاطَبَ بِهِ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى رَجُلَ اللهِ بِشَأْنِي وَشَأْنِكَ فِي قَادَشَ بَرْنِيعَ،

7 Fourtie yeere olde was I, when Moses the seruant of the Lord sent me from Kadesh-barnea to espie the land, and I brought him word againe, as I thought in mine heart.

٧ فَقَدْ كُنْتُ فِي الأَرْبَعِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِي حِينَ أَرْسَلَنِي مُوسَى عَبْدُ الرَّبِّ، مِنْ قَادَشَ بَرْنِيعَ لأَتَجَسَّسَ الأَرْضَ، فَعُدْتُ إِلَيْهِ وَأَنْبَأْتُهُ بِمَا كَانَ قَلْبِي مُقْتَنِعاً بِهِ.

8 But my brethren that went vp with me, discouraged the heart of the people: yet I followed still the Lord my God.

٨ أَمَّا إِخْوَتِي الَّذِينَ ذَهَبُوا مَعِي فَقَدْ مَلَأُوا قَلْبَ الشَّعْبِ رُعْباً بِأَخْبَارِهِمْ عَنْ أَهْلِ أَرْضِ الْمَوْعِدِ. لَكِنَّنِي اتَّبَعْتُ الرَّبَّ إِلَهِي مِنْ كُلِّ قَلْبِي.

9 Wherefore Moses sware the same day, saying, Certainely the land whereon thy feete haue troden, shalbe thine inheritance, and thy childrens for euer, because thou hast followed constantly the Lord my God.

٩ لِذَلِكَ حَلَفَ مُوسَى فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ قَائِلاً: إِنَّ الأَرْضَ الَّتِي وَطِئَتْهَا قَدَمَاكَ تَكُونُ لَكَ وَلأَوْلادِكَ نَصِيباً إِلَى الأَبَدِ، لأَنَّكَ اتَّبَعْتَ الرَّبَّ إِلَهِي مِنْ كُلِّ قَلْبِكَ.

10 Therefore beholde nowe, the Lord hath kept me aliue, as he promised: this is the fourtie and fift yeere since the Lord spake this thing vnto Moses, while the children of Israel wandered in the wildernes: and nowe loe, I am this day foure score and fiue yeere olde:

١٠ وَهَا الرَّبُّ قَدْ أَبْقَانِي عَلَى قَيْدِ الْحَيَاةِ، كَمَا وَعَدَ، خَمْسَةً وَأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً مُنْذُ أَنْ خَاطَبَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى بِهَذَا الْكَلامِ حِينَ تَاهَ إِسْرَائِيلُ فِي الْقَفْرِ، فَأَصْبَحْتُ الآنَ فِي الْخَامِسَةِ وَالثَّمَانِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِي،

11 And yet am as strong at this time, as I was when Moses sent me: as strong as I was then, so strong am I nowe, either for warre, or for gouernment.

١١ وَلَمْ أَزَلْ مُتَمَتِّعاً بِالْقُوَّةِ كَالْعَهْدِ بِي عِنْدَمَا أَرْسَلَنِي لِتَجَسُّسِ الأَرْضِ، فَقُوَّتِي مَا بَرِحَتْ كَمَا هِيَ إِنْ لِلْحَرْبِ أَوْ لِلدُّخُولِ وَالْخُرُوجِ.

12 Nowe therefore giue me this mountaine whereof ye Lord spake in that day (for thou heardest in that day, how the Anakims were there, and the cities great and walled) if so be the Lord will be with me, that I may driue them out, as the Lord said.

١٢ وَالآنَ، هَبْنِي إِقْلِيمَ الْجَبَلِ الَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ عَنْهُ الرَّبُّ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ بِنَفْسِكَ سَمِعْتَ آنَئِذٍ أَنَّ الْعَنَاقِيِّينَ كَانُوا هُنَاكَ، وَأَنَّ مُدُنَهُمْ ضَخْمَةٌ وَحَصِينَةٌ، لَعَلِّي أَطْرُدُهُمْ بِمَعُونَةِ الرَّبِّ كَمَا وَعَدَ».

13 Then Ioshua blessed him, and gaue vnto Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh, Hebron for an inheritance.

١٣ فَبَارَكَهُ يَشُوعُ وَأَعْطَاهُ حَبْرُونَ مِلْكاً لَهُ.

14 Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh the Kenezite, vnto this day: because he followed constantly the Lord God of Israel.

١٤ وَهَكَذَا وَرِثَ كَالَبُ بْنُ يَفُنَّةَ الْقَنِزِّيُّ حَبْرُونَ إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ، لأَنَّهُ اتَّبَعَ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ كُلِّ قَلْبِهِ.

15 And the name of Hebron was before time, Kiriath-arba: which Arba was a great man amog the Anakims: thus the land ceassed from warre.

١٥ وَكَانَتْ حَبْرُونُ تُدْعَى مِنْ قَبْلُ قَرْيَةَ أَرْبَعَ عَلَى اسْمِ بَطَلِ الْعَنَاقِيِّينَ الأَعْظَمِ. ثُمَّ اسْتَرَاحَتِ الأَرْضُ مِنَ الْحَرْبِ.
