Joshua 14
1 And, these, are the inheritances which the sons of Israel received in the land of Canaan, —which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the ancestral heads of the tribes of the sons of Israel gave them to inherit.
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 lot, was their inheritance divided, —as Yahweh commanded by the hand of Moses, unto the nine tribes and unto the half 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 given the two tribes and the half tribe their inheritance over the Jordan, —but, unto the Levites, gave he no inheritance in their midst;
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 sons of Joseph became two tribes: Manasseh and Ephraim, —so they gave no portion to the Levites in the land, save only cities to dwell in, with the pasture lands thereof, for their cattle and for 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 Yahweh commanded Moses, so, did the sons of Israel, —when they apportioned the land.
Boye, bana ya Isalaele bakabolaki mokili, ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki Moyize.
6 Then came near the sons of Judah unto Joshua in Gilgal, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, the Kenizzite, said unto him, —Thou, knowest the word which Yahweh spake unto Moses the man of God in my behalf and in thine 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 Forty years old, was I when Moses the servant of Yahweh sent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land, —so I brought him back word, as was in my 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 who had been up with me, made the heart of the people melt, —whereas, I, wholly followed Yahweh 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 So then Moses sware on that day saying, Surely, the land on which thy foot hath trodden, unto thee, shall belong, for an inheritance, and unto thy sons, unto times age-abiding, —because thou hast wholly followed Yahweh 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 Now, therefore lo! Yahweh hath kept me alive as he spake these forty and five years from the time Yahweh spake this word unto Moses, while Israel journeyed in the desert. Now, therefore lo! I—to-day, am eighty and five years old:
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 I remain, to-day, as courageous as on the day when Moses sent me, as my strength was then, so also my strength is now, —for war, both to go out and to come in.
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 Now, therefore, give me this mountain, whereof Yahweh spake, on that day, —for, thou thyself, didst hear, on that day, that, Anakim, were there, and great cities fortified, if so be Yahweh be with me, then shall I dispossess them, as spake Yahweh.
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 So Joshua blessed him, and gave Hebron unto Caleb son of Jephunneh, for an inheritance.
Jozue apambolaki Kalebi, mwana mobali ya Yefune, mpe apesaki ye engumba Ebron lokola libula.
14 For this cause, hath Hebron belonged unto Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenezzite, for an inheritance, unto this day, —because he wholly followed Yahweh, 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 Now, the name of Hebron, was formerly, City of Arba, the greatest man among the Anakim, was he. And, the land, had rest from war.
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.
