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,
Nzokande, tala mabele oyo bana ya Isalaele bazwaki lokola libula kati na mokili ya Kanana; mabele oyo Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari; Jozue, mwana mobali ya Nuni, mpe bakambi ya bituka ya mabota ya bana ya Isalaele bakabolelaki bango.
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.
Bakabolelaki bango yango na nzela ya zeke, ndenge Yawe atindaki na nzela ya Moyize kati na mabota libwa mpe ndambo ya libota.
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.
Moyize apesaki epai ya mabota mibale mpe ndambo ya libota mabele na bango, na ngambo ya este ya Yordani; kasi epai ya bato ya libota ya Levi, apesaki mabele te kati na mabota mosusu;
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.
pamba te bana mibali ya Jozefi, Manase mpe Efrayimi, bakomaki mabota mibale. Bato ya libota ya Levi bazwaki libula te kati na mokili longola kaka bingumba ya kovanda elongo na mabele na yango mpo na bibwele mpe biloko na bango.
5 As the Lord had commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did when they deuided the land.
Boye, bana ya Isalaele bakabolaki mokili, ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki Moyize.
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.
Bato ya libota ya Yuda bayaki epai ya Jozue, na Giligali. Kalebi, mwana mobali ya Yefune, moto ya Kenizi, ayebisaki Jozue: « Oyebi malamu makambo oyo Yawe alobaki na Moyize, moto na Nzambe, na Kadeshi-Barinea na tina na yo mpe na tina na ngai.
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.
Nazalaki nanu na mibu tuku minei tango Moyize, mowumbu na Yawe, atindaki ngai wuta na Kadeshi-Barinea mpo na kononga mokili. Mpe napesaki ye sango kolanda ndenge motema na ngai ezalaki kondima.
8 But my brethren that went vp with me, discouraged the heart of the people: yet I followed still the Lord my God.
Bandeko na ngai, oyo tomataki na bango elongo balembisaki bato nzoto; nzokande ngai nalandaki bobele Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, na motema mobimba.
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.
Na mokolo wana, Moyize alapaki ndayi: ‹ Solo, nalapi ndayi ete mokili oyo matambe na yo esilaki konyata ekozala libula na yo mpe ya bakitani na yo mpo na libela, pamba te olandaki Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, na motema mobimba. ›
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:
Sik’oyo tala, eleki mibu tuku minei na mitano oyo Yawe abateli ngai na bomoi, wuta tango alobaki liloba oyo epai ya Moyize tango bana ya Isalaele bazalaki kotambola na esobe. Boye, ndenge nazali awa lelo, nakokisi mibu tuku mwambe na mitano ya mbotama,
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.
mpe nazali na makasi lokola na tango oyo Moyize atindaki ngai; nazali na nguya ya kobunda bitumba ndenge kaka nazalaki na yango na kala.
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.
Pesa ngai mokili ya bangomba wana oyo Yawe alakaki ngai na mokolo wana. Mokolo wana, yo moko oyokaki ete bato ya Anaki bazalaki kovanda kuna mpe bingumba na bango ezalaki minene mpe batonga makasi. Kasi na lisungi na Yawe, nakobengana bango ndenge Yawe alobaki. »
13 Then Ioshua blessed him, and gaue vnto Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh, Hebron for an inheritance.
Jozue apambolaki Kalebi, mwana mobali ya Yefune, mpe apesaki ye engumba Ebron lokola libula.
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.
Boye, wuta na tango yango, engumba Ebron ekomaki libula ya Kalebi, mwana mobali ya Yefune, moto ya Kenizi; mpo ete alandaki Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, na motema mobimba.
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.
Liboso, bazalaki kobenga Ebron « Kiriati-Ariba. » Ariba azalaki elombe oyo alekaki bato nyonso ya Anaki na makasi. Bongo, mokili ekomaki na kimia mpe bitumba ezalaki lisusu te.
