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,
以下是以色列子孫在客納罕地所得的產業，那是司祭厄肋阿責爾和農的兒子若蘇厄，以及以色列子孫各支派的族長給他們劃分的，
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.
按照上主藉梅瑟吩咐的，以抽籤方式將土地分給又個支派，
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.
因為梅瑟在約旦河東，已將產業分給了另兩個支派；在他們中只沒有給肋未人分配產業。
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.
實際上，若瑟的子孫形成了兩個支派，即默納協和厄弗辣因。雖沒有分配給肋未人產業，卻給了他們一些城市作住所，和城郊草地，為牧放他們的的牲畜和羊群。
5 As the Lord had commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did when they deuided the land.
上主怎樣吩咐梅瑟，以色列子民便怎樣進行劃分土地。
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.
猶大的子孫來到基加耳見若蘇厄時，刻納次族耶孚乃的兒子加肋布對若蘇厄說：「上主在卡德士巴爾乃亞，關於你和我對天主的人梅瑟所說的話，你是知道的。
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.
當上主的僕人梅瑟從卡德士巴爾乃亞，派我去偵探這地方時，我正十四歲，我全按我的良心回報了衪。
8 But my brethren that went vp with me, discouraged the heart of the people: yet I followed still the Lord my God.
當與一同上去的弟兄們使百姓喪氣時，我紿終服從了上主我的天主。
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.
那天梅瑟曾起誓說：你的腳所踏過[的地方，必定永久歸你和你們的子孫作為產業，因為你始終服從了上主我的天主。
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:
現在你看，自從上主對梅瑟說了這話，上主便照所應許的，使我又活了四十五歲，經過了以色列人在曠野漂流的時期，現在我已是八十五歲的人了。
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.
但我現在還很強壯，如派我去的那一天一樣；不拘是打仗或是出入行動，我現在的力量和那時完全一樣。
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.
現在，請你將上主所許下的那座山地賜給我，因為那天你也曾聽過這話。固然，那裏有有阿納克人，城池又大又堅固，或許上主會與我同在，照上主所應許的，我能將他們趕走。」
13 Then Ioshua blessed him, and gaue vnto Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh, Hebron for an inheritance.
若蘇厄就祝福了他，將赫貝龍給了耶孚乃的兒子加肋布作為產業。
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.
因此赫貝龍直到今日仍為刻納次人耶孚乃的兒子加肋布的產業因為他紿終服從了上主以色列的天主。
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.
赫貝龍以前名叫克黎雅特阿爾巴，原是阿納克人中的一個偉人。以後國內昇平，再無戰事。
