Joshua 14
1 And these are the inheritances which the children of Israel took in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers’ [houses] of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed unto them,
Otu a ka esi kenye ndị Izrel ala Kenan, bụ nke Elieza onye nchụaja, na Joshua, nwa Nun, na ndị ndu ikwu niile dị nʼebo Izrel kere.
2 by the lot of their inheritance, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half tribe.
Ebo ọbụla nʼime ebo itoolu na ọkara ahụ fọdụrụ nwetara ihe nketa ha site nʼife nza, dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ya Mosis nʼiwu.
3 For Moses had given the inheritance of the two tribes and the half tribe beyond Jordan: but unto the Levites he gave none inheritance among them.
Ma Mosis enyelarị ebo abụọ na ọkara ala nke ha nʼofe ọzọ nke osimiri Jọdan, nʼakụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ. Ma o kenyeghị ndị Livayị ihe nketa ọbụla nʼetiti ha.
4 For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim: and they gave no portion unto the Levites in the land, save cities to dwell in, with the suburbs thereof for their cattle and for their substance.
Nʼihi na ụmụ Josef dị ebo abụọ, ya bụ Manase na Ifrem. Enyeghị ndị Livayị oke nʼala ahụ, karịa obodo ụfọdụ ebe ha ga-ebi na ebe ịta nri nke anụ ụlọ ha.
5 As the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did, and they divided the land.
Ndị Izrel keere ala ahụ nʼusoro dịka iwu Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis si dị.
6 Then the children of Judah drew nigh unto Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said unto him, Thou knowest the thing that the LORD spake unto Moses the man of God concerning me and concerning thee in Kadesh-barnea.
Nʼoge a, ụmụ Juda zipụrụ ndị ozi ndị jekwuuru Joshua na Gilgal. Kaleb, nwa Jefune, onye Keniz so ha nʼije a. Mgbe ha bịarutere, Kaleb gwara Joshua okwu sị ya, “I chetakwara okwu ahụ Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis onye nke Chineke banyere gị na banyere mụ onwe m, mgbe anyị nọ na Kadesh Banea?
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 mine heart.
Agbara m iri afọ anọ nʼoge ahụ Mosis onyeozi Onyenwe anyị si na Kadesh Banea zipụ anyị ịga iledo ala ndị Kenan anya. Mgbe anyị lọghachiri, agwara m ya okwu, kọwaara ya ihe m chere nʼobi m bụ eziokwu.
8 Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt: but I wholly followed the LORD my God.
Ma ụmụnna anyị, ndị anyị na ha so gaa, menyere ụmụ Izrel egwu, mee ka obi ha daa mba ịchọ ịbanye nʼala ahụ e kwere anyị na nkwa. Ma ebe m nọgidere jiri obi m niile soro Onyenwe anyị Chineke m,
9 And Moses sware on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon thy foot hath trodden shall be an inheritance to thee and to thy children for ever, because thou hast wholly followed the LORD my God.
Mosis ṅụrụ iyi sị m, ‘Ebe ọ bụ na i ji obi gị niile soro Onyenwe anyị Chineke m, ala ahụ i jegharịrị ije nʼelu ya ga-abụ ihe nketa nye gị na ụmụ gị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.’
10 And now, behold, the LORD hath kept me alive, as he spake, these forty and five years, from the time that the LORD spake this word unto Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness: and now, lo, I am this day fourscore and five years old.
“Ugbu a, dịka Onyenwe anyị kwere na nkwa, o meela ka m dị ndụ. Nke a bụ iri afọ anọ na ise kemgbe Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu ndị a, mgbe Izrel na-awagharị nʼọzara. Ma ugbu a, lee, agbaala m iri afọ asatọ na ise taa.
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 and to go out and to come in.
M dị ike taa dịka m dị nʼụbọchị ahụ Mosis zipụrụ m. Dịka ike m dị mgbe ahụ, adịkwa m ike ugbu a, ịpụ buo agha ma batakwa
12 Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the LORD spake in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakim were there, and cities great and fenced: it may be that the LORD will be with me, and I shall drive them out, as the LORD spake.
Ya mere, nye m ala ugwu ugwu ahụ Onyenwe anyị kwere m nkwa nʼụbọchị ahụ. Gị onwe gị nụrụ nʼoge ahụ na ụmụ Anak bi nʼebe ahụ, na obodo ha bukwara ibu, na e jikwa mgbidi e wusiri ike gbaa ha gburugburu. Ma site nʼinyeaka Onyenwe anyị, aga m achụpụ ha dịka Onyenwe anyị kwuru.”
13 And Joshua blessed him; and he gave Hebron unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance.
Nʼihi nke a, Joshua gọziri Kaleb nwa Jefune. O nyere ya obodo Hebrọn ka ọ bụrụ ihe nketa ya.
14 Therefore Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, unto this day; because that he wholly followed the LORD, the God of Israel.
Ya mere, obodo Hebrọn ghọrọ ihe nketa Kaleb nwa Jefune onye Keniz bido mgbe ahụ, nʼihi na o ji obi ya niile soro Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel.
15 Now the name of Hebron beforetime was Kirjath-arba; [which Arba was] the greatest man among the Anakim. And the land had rest from war.
Tupu oge a, aha a na-akpọ Hebrọn bụ Kiriat Aaba, nke pụtara Obodo Aaba. Aaba bụkwa aha nwoke kachasị ịdị ukwuu nʼetiti ndị Anak niile. Site nʼoge a gaa nʼihu, e nwere udo nʼala ahụ niile.
