Joshua 14
1 And these [are the countries] which the children of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed for inheritance to them.
Umu ndi mmene Aisraeli analandirira cholowa chawo mʼdziko la Kanaani. Eliezara wansembe, Yoswa mwana wa Nuni pamodzi ndi akuluakulu a mafuko a Israeli ndiwo anagawa dzikolo kugawira Aisraeli.
2 By lot [was] their inheritance, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes, and [for] the half tribe.
Madera anagawidwa mwa maere kwa mafuko asanu ndi anayi ndi theka, monga momwe Yehova analamulira kudzera mwa Mose.
3 For Moses had given the inheritance of two tribes and an half tribe on the other side Jordan: but unto the Levites he gave none inheritance among them.
Mose anapereka kwa mafuko awiri ndi theka dziko la kummawa kwa Yorodani, koma fuko la Levi lokha silinagawiridwe malo.
4 For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim: therefore they gave no part unto the Levites in the land, save cities to dwell [in], with their suburbs for their cattle and for their substance.
Tsono fuko la Yosefe analigawa pawiri, Manase ndi Efereimu. Mose sanawagawire malo mabanja a fuko la Levi, koma iwo anangolandira mizinda imene ankakhalamo pamodzi ndi malo amene ankawetako nkhosa ndi ngʼombe zawo.
5 As the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did, and they divided the land.
Choncho Aisraeli anagawana dzikolo, monga momwe Yehova analamulira Mose.
6 Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite said unto him, Thou knowest the thing that the LORD said unto Moses the man of God concerning me and thee in Kadesh-barnea.
Tsono anthu a fuko la Yuda anabwera kwa Yoswa ku Giligala, ndipo Kalebe mwana wa Yefune Mkeni anati kwa iye, “Inu mukudziwa zimene Yehova ananena kwa Mose munthu wa Mulungu za inu ndi ine ku Kadesi Barinea.
7 Forty years old [was] I when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh-barnea to espy out the land; and I brought him word again as [it was] in mine heart.
Nthawi imene Mose mtumiki wa Yehova anandituma kuchokera ku Kadesi Barinea kudzayendera dzikoli ndinali ndi zaka makumi anayi. Ndipo nditabwerako ndinamuwuza zoona zokhazokha monga momwe ndinaonera.
8 Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt: but I wholly followed the LORD my God.
Koma abale anga amene ndinapita nawo anachititsa anthu mantha. Komabe ine ndinamvera Yehova Mulungu wanga ndi mtima wonse.
9 And Moses sware on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon thy feet have trodden shall be thine inheritance, and thy children’s for ever, because thou hast wholly followed the LORD my God.
Kotero tsiku limenelo Mose anandilonjeza kuti, ‘Dziko limene unayendamo lidzakhala lako ndiponso la ana ako kwamuyaya chifukwa unamvera Yehova Mulungu wanga ndi mtima wako wonse.’
10 And now, behold, the LORD hath kept me alive, as he said, these forty and five years, even since the LORD spake this word unto Moses, while [the children of] Israel wandered in the wilderness: and now, lo, I [am] this day fourscore and five years old.
“Tsono papita zaka 45 chiyankhulire Yehova zimenezi kwa Mose. Nthawi imeneyo nʼkuti Aisraeli akuyendayenda mʼchipululu. Yehova wandisunga ndipo tsopano ndili ndi zaka 85.
11 As yet I [am as] strong this day as [I was] in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength [was] then, even so [is] my strength now, for war, both to go out, and to come in.
Komabe ndikanali ndi mphamvu lero, monga ndinalili tsiku lija Mose anandituma. Ndili ndi mphamvu moti ndikhoza kupita ku nkhondo kapena kuchita kanthu kena kalikonse.
12 Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the LORD spake in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakims [were] there, and [that] the cities [were] great [and] fenced: if so be the LORD [will be] with me, then I shall be able to drive them out, as the LORD said.
Tsopano ndipatseni dziko la ku mapiri limene Yehova anandilonjeza tsiku lija. Inu munamva nthawi ija kuti Aanaki anali kumeneko ndipo kuti mizinda yawo inali ikuluikulu ndi yotetezedwa. Komabe Yehova atakhala nane ndidzawathamangitsa monga Iye ananenera.”
13 And Joshua blessed him, and gave unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh Hebron for an inheritance.
Ndipo Yoswa anadalitsa Kalebe mwana wa Yefune ndi kumupatsa Hebroni kukhala dziko lake.
14 Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this day, because that he wholly followed the LORD God of Israel.
Choncho dera la Hebroni lakhala lili la Kalebe mwana wa Yefune Mkeni mpaka lero chifukwa anamvera Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli ndi mtima wonse.
15 And the name of Hebron before [was] Kirjath-arba; [which Arba was] a great man among the Anakims. And the land had rest from war.
(Hebroni ankatchedwa Kiriati Ariba chifukwa cha Ariba amene anali munthu wamphamvu kwambiri pakati pa Aanaki). Ndipo kenaka mʼdziko monse munakhala mtendere.
