< 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,
Maya nĩmo mabũrũri marĩa andũ a Isiraeli maheirwo matuĩke igai rĩao bũrũri-inĩ wa Kaanani, ũrĩa Eleazaru mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, na Joshua mũrũ wa Nuni, na atongoria a mbarĩ cia mĩhĩrĩga ya Isiraeli maamagaĩire.
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.
Magai mao maagairwo na njĩra ya gũcuukĩra mĩtĩ kũrĩ o mĩhĩrĩga ĩyo kenda na nuthu, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa,
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.
nĩgũkorwo Musa nĩaheete mĩhĩrĩga ĩĩrĩ na nuthu igai rĩao mwena wa irathĩro wa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani. No rĩrĩ, ndaaheete Alawii igai hamwe na andũ acio angĩ,
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.
nĩgũkorwo ariũ a Jusufu nĩmatuĩkĩte mĩhĩrĩga ĩĩrĩ, nĩyo mũhĩrĩga wa Manase, na wa Efiraimu. Alawii matiigana kũgaĩrwo ithaka tiga o matũũra ma gũtũũra, na ithaka iria ciarigiicĩirie matũũra macio cia kũrĩithagia ndũũru ciao cia mbũri na ngʼombe.
5 As the Lord had commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did when they deuided the land.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Isiraeli makĩgayania bũrũri ũcio o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa.
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.
Na rĩrĩ, andũ a mũhĩrĩga wa Juda magĩthiĩ kũrĩ Joshua kũu Giligali, nake Kalebu mũrũ wa Jefune ũrĩa Mũkenizi akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩũũĩ ũhoro ũrĩa Jehova eerire Musa mũndũ wa Ngai ũkoniĩ niĩ nawe tũrĩ kũu Kadeshi-Barinea.
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.
Niĩ ndaarĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Musa ndungata ya Jehova aandũmire kuuma Kadeshi-Barinea thiĩ ngathigaane bũrũri ũcio. Nĩndamũcookeirie ũhoro o ta ũrĩa warĩ ngoro-inĩ yakwa,
8 But my brethren that went vp with me, discouraged the heart of the people: yet I followed still the Lord my God.
no rĩrĩ, ariũ a ithe witũ arĩa twaambatanĩtie nao nĩmatũmire ngoro cia andũ ciyũrwo nĩ guoya. No o na kũrĩ ũguo-rĩ, niĩ nĩ ndarũmĩrĩire Jehova Ngai wakwa na ngoro yakwa yothe.
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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Musa akĩĩhĩta na mwĩhĩtwa mũthenya o ro ũcio akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Ti-itherũ bũrũri ũcio makinya maku marakinyangire ũgaatuĩka igai rĩaku na rĩa ciana ciaku nginya tene, nĩ ũndũ nĩũrũmĩrĩire Jehova Ngai wakwa na ngoro yaku yothe.’
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:
“Na rĩrĩ, o ta ũrĩa Jehova eranĩire nĩageeka-rĩ, nĩandũũrĩtie muoyo mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna na ĩtano kuuma hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aarĩirie Musa akĩmũhe ũhoro ũcio, hĩndĩ ĩyo yothe Isiraeli moorũũraga werũ-inĩ. Na rĩrĩ, ndĩ haha ũmũthĩ, ndĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩnana na ĩtano!
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.
Ndĩ na hinya ũmũthĩ o ta ũrĩa ndarĩ naguo mũthenya ũrĩa Musa aandũmire; ndĩ na hinya wa gũthiĩ mbaara-inĩ o ta ũrĩa ndaarĩ naguo hĩndĩ ĩyo, hinya wa gũthiĩ rũgendo kana wa kũinũka mũciĩ.
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.
Tondũ ũcio rĩu kĩĩhe bũrũri ũyũ wa irĩma, o ũrĩa Jehova aaririe ũhoro waguo mũthenya ũcio. Wee mwene nĩwaiguire mũthenya ũcio atĩ andũ a Anaki maarĩ kũndũ kũu, namo matũũra mao maarĩ manene na makairigĩrwo na hinya mũno, na rĩrĩ, Jehova angĩkorwo hamwe na niĩ andeithie-rĩ, nĩngũmaingata o ta ũrĩa oigire.”
13 Then Ioshua blessed him, and gaue vnto Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh, Hebron for an inheritance.
Nake Joshua agĩkĩrathima Kalebu mũrũ wa Jefune, na akĩmũhe Hebironi gũtuĩke igai rĩake.
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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Hebironi gũtũũire kũrĩ gwa Kalebu mũrũ wa Jefune ũcio Mũkenizi kuuma hĩndĩ ĩyo, nĩ ũndũ nĩarũmĩrĩire Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli na ngoro yake yothe.
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.
(Hebironi gwetagwo Kiriathu-Ariba nĩ ũndũ gwetanĩtio na Ariba, ũrĩa warĩ mũndũ mũnene mũno gũkĩra arĩa angĩ othe thĩinĩ wa andũ a Anaki). Naguo bũrũri ũkĩhoorera, gũkĩaga mbaara.
