< Joshua 14 >

1 These are the inheritances which the children of Israel took in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of ancestral houses of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed to 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 of their inheritance, as YHWH commanded by the hand of Moses, to give to the nine tribes, and for 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 beyond the Jordan; but to the Levites he gave no inheritance among them.
kubanga Musa yali agabidde ebika ebibiri n’ekitundu omugabo gwabwe emitala wa Yoludaani, naye Abaleevi bo teyabagabira;
4 For the descendants of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim: and they gave no portion to the Levites in the land, except cities to dwell in, with their suburbs for their livestock and for their property.
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 The children of Israel did as YHWH commanded Moses, and they divided the land.
Abantu ba Isirayiri ne bagabana ensi nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.
6 Then the descendants of Judah drew near to Joshua in Gilgal. Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, "You know the thing that YHWH spoke to Moses the man of God concerning me and concerning you 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 I was forty years old when Moses the servant of YHWH sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land. 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 Nevertheless, my brothers who went up with me made the heart of the people melt; but I wholly followed YHWH 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 Moses swore on that day, saying, 'Surely the land where you walked shall be an inheritance to you and to your children forever, because you have wholly followed YHWH 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 Now, look, YHWH has kept me alive, as he spoke, these forty-five years, from the time that YHWH spoke this word to Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness. Now, look, I am eighty-five years old, today.
“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 still as strong today as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now for war, 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 hill country, of which YHWH spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there, and great and fortified cities. It may be that YHWH will be with me, and I shall drive them out, as YHWH spoke."
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 Joshua blessed him; and he gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance.
Yoswa n’amusabira omukisa n’awa Kalebu omwana wa Yefune Omukenezi Kebbulooni okuba omugabo gwe.
14 Therefore Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day; because he wholly followed YHWH, the God of Israel.
Olusozi Kebbulooni ne lufuuka lwa Kalebu mutabani wa Yefune ne leero, kubanga yagoberera ddala Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri.
15 Now the name of Hebron before was Kiriath Arba, after the greatest man among the Anakim. 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.
