< Joshua 14 >

1 And these are the countries which the children of Israel obtained as an inheritance in the land of Canaan, which Elazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the divisions of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed for an inheritance unto them,
Bino by’ebitundu Abayisirayiri bye baafuna ng’omugabo mu nsi y’e Kanani, Eriyazaali kabona, ne Yoswa, omwana wa Nuuni, n’emitwe gy’ennyumba eza bakitaabwe ez’ebika by’abaana ba Isirayiri bye baabagabira.
2 By the lot as their inheritance: as the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes, and the half tribe.
Emigabo baagifunanga nga bakuba kalulu nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa olw’ebika omwenda n’ekitundu,
3 For Moses had given the inheritance of the two tribes and the half tribe on the other side of the Jordan; but unto the Levites he had given no inheritance among them.
kubanga Musa yali agabidde ebika ebibiri n’ekitundu omugabo gwabwe emitala wa Yoludaani, naye Abaleevi bo teyabagabira;
4 For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Menasseh and Ephraim; therefore they gave no portion unto the Levites in the land, save cities to dwell in, with their open spaces for their cattle and for their substance.
kubanga abaana ba Yusufu baali bafuuse ebika bibiri, Manase ne Efulayimu, bo Abaleevi ne bataweebwa mugabo gwonna mu nsi, wabula ebibuga byokka eby’okubeeramu, n’ensiko ey’okulundiramu ebisibo byabwe n’ebintu byabwe.
5 As the Lord had commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel, and so divided they the land.
Abantu ba Isirayiri ne bagabana ensi nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.
6 And the children of Judah came near unto Joshua in Gilgal; and Caleb the son of Yephunneh the Kenizzite said unto him, Thou well knowest the word which the Lord spoke unto Moses the man of God concerning me and thyself in Kadesh-barnea'.
Abantu ba Yuda ne balyoka bajja eri Yoswa e Girugaali, ne Kalebu omwana wa Yefune Omukenizi n’amugamba nti, “Omanyi Mukama kye yayogera ne Musa omusajja wa Katonda e Kadesubanea ekikwata ku ggwe nange.
7 Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Kadesh-barnea' to spy out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in my heart.
Nalina emyaka amakumi ana, Musa omuweereza wa Mukama bwe yantuma okuva e Kadesubanea okuketta ensi, era namuleteera ekigambo nga bwe kyali mu mutima gwange.
8 But my brethren who had gone up with me caused the heart of the people to be faint; but I wholly followed the Lord my God.
Naye baganda bange be nnali nabo ne baleteera emitima gy’abantu okuggwaamu amaanyi olw’okutya, wabula nze nagoberera Mukama Katonda wange n’omutima gwange gwonna.
9 And Moses swore on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon thy foot hath trodden shall belong to thee for an inheritance, and to thy children for ever; because thou hast wholly followed the Lord my God.
Era Musa yandayirira nti, ‘Ensi ebigere byo kwe biririnnya, mugabo gwo n’abaana bo emirembe gyonna, kubanga ogoberedde Mukama Katonda wange n’omutima gwo gwonna.’
10 And now, behold, the Lord hath kept me alive, as he hath spoken: it is now forty and five years since the Lord spoke this word unto Moses, while Israel wandered in the wilderness; and now, behold, I am this day eighty and five years old.
“Era kaakano Mukama ampangaazizza nga bwe yayogera emyaka gino amakumi ana okuva lwe yakigamba Musa, nga Isirayiri etambula mu ddungu. Era laba kaakano ndi wa myaka kinaana!
11 I am yet this day as strong as I was on the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, and to go out, and to come in.
Nkyalina amaanyi leero nga ge nalina Musa bwe yantuma, amaanyi ge nnina leero galinga ge nalina mu kulwana, mu kufuluma ne mu kuyingira.
12 Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the Lord spoke on that day; for thou didst hear on that day that the 'Anakim were there, and great fortified cities: perhaps the Lord will be with me, and I shall drive them out, as the Lord hath spoken.
Kale noolwekyo mpa olusozi luno, Mukama lwe yayogera ku lunaku luli, kubanga wawulira ku olwo ng’Abanaki kwe baali n’ebibuga ebinene ebiriko enkomera. Mukama nga ye mubeezi wange, nnaabagoba nga Mukama bwe yayogera.”
13 And Joshua blessed him, and gave Hebron unto Caleb the son of Yephunneh for an inheritance.
Yoswa n’amusabira omukisa n’awa Kalebu omwana wa Yefune Omukenezi Kebbulooni okuba omugabo gwe.
14 Therefore did Hebron become the inheritance of Caleb the son of Yephunneh the Kenizzite unto this day; for the cause that he had wholly followed the Lord the God of Israel.
Olusozi Kebbulooni ne lufuuka lwa Kalebu mutabani wa Yefune ne leero, kubanga yagoberera ddala Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri.
15 And the name of Hebron was aforetimes Kiryatharba', who was the greatest man among the 'Anakim. And the land had rest from war.
Kebbulooni edda kyayitibwanga Kiriasualuba era Aluba ye yali omukulu asingayo mu Banaki. Olwo ensi n’eryoka ewummula n’etebaamu ntalo.
