Joshua 14
1 And these [are that] which they inherited [the] people of Israel in [the] land of Canaan which they gave as a possession them Eleazar the priest and Joshua [the] son of Nun and [the] leaders of [the] fathers of the tribes of [the] people of Israel.
Esiae nye ale si woma Kanaanyigba si le Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe ɣetoɖoƒe la na Israelviwoe. Nunɔla Eleazar kple Yosua, Nun ƒe vi kple Israel ƒe towo ƒe ƒomewo ƒe kplɔlawo ma anyigba la na ameawo.
2 By [the] allotted portion of inheritance their just as he had commanded Yahweh by [the] hand of Moses for [the] nine the tribes and [the] half of the tribe.
Abe ale si Yehowa ɖo na Mose ene la, woda akɔ hena anyigba si le Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe ɣetoɖoƒe la mama ɖe Israel ƒe to asiekɛ kple afã mamlɛawo dome.
3 For he had given Moses [the] inheritance of [the] two the tribes and [the] half of the tribe from [the] other side of the Jordan and to the Levites not he had given an inheritance in midst of them.
Mose tsɔ to eve kple afã ƒe domenyinu na wo le Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe ɣedzeƒe, ke mena domenyinu aɖeke Levitɔwo ɖe ame bubuawo dome o,
4 For they were [the] descendants of Joseph two tribes Manasseh and Ephraim and not people gave a portion to the Levites in the land that except cities to dwell in and pasture lands their for livestock their and for possession[s] their.
elabena Yosef ƒe viwo va zu to eve, siwo nye Manase kple Efraim. Womema anyigba na Levitɔwo o, ke boŋ du siwo me woanɔ kple lãnyiƒewo ko wona wo.
5 Just as he had commanded Yahweh Moses so they did [the] people of Israel and they apportioned the land.
Ale wowɔ se si Yehowa de na Mose la dzi pɛpɛpɛ le anyigba la mama me.
6 And they approached [the] descendants of Judah to Joshua at Gilgal and he said to him Caleb [the] son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite you you know the word which he spoke Yahweh to Moses [the] man of God on causes my and on causes your at Kadesh Barnea.
Kaleb nɔ ŋgɔ na ame dɔdɔ aɖewo tso Yuda ƒe to la me, eye wova Yosua gbɔ le Gilgal. Kaleb Kenizitɔ gblɔ na Yosua be, “Èɖo ŋku nya si Yehowa gblɔ na Mose tso nye kple wò ŋu esime míenɔ Kades Barnea la dzia?
7 [was] a son of Forty year[s] I when sent Moses [the] servant of Yahweh me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land and I brought back him a word just as with heart my.
Mexɔ ƒe blaene ɣe ma ɣi. Mose dɔ mí tso Kades Barnea be míatsa ŋku le Kanaanyigba la dzi. Esi míegbɔ la, megblɔ nu si mekpɔ tututu la nɛ,
8 And brothers my who they went up with me they melted [the] heart of the people and I I filled after Yahweh God my.
ke nɔvinye ŋkutsala bubuawo ya do vɔvɔ̃ na ameawo, eye woɖe dzi le wo ƒo dzodzro le Ŋugbedodonyigba la dzi yiyi ŋu. Zi ale si menɔ Yehowa, nye Mawu, yome ta la,
9 And he swore an oath Moses on the day that saying if not the land which it trod foot your on it of you it will become an inheritance and of children your until perpetuity for you filled after Yahweh God my.
Mose gblɔ nam be, ‘Kanaanyigba la ƒe akpa si dzi miele la, azu wò kple wò dzidzimeviwo tɔ tegbetegbe.’
10 And now here! he has let live Yahweh - me just as he spoke this forty and five year[s] from then he spoke Yahweh the word this to Moses when it walked Israel in the wilderness and now here! I this day [am] a son of five and eighty year[s].
“Abe ale si wò ŋutɔ nènya ene la, Yehowa lé agbe ɖe te nam, eye wòna lãmesesẽm tso ɣe ma ɣi va se ɖe fifia, le ƒe blaene-vɔ-atɔ̃ siawo me, tso esime míetsa tsaglalã le gbedzi. Egbe la, mexɔ ƒe blaenyi-vɔ-atɔ̃,
11 Still I this day [am] strong just as on [the] day sent me Moses as strength my then and as strength my now for the battle and to go out and to come.
gake ŋusẽ le ŋunye fifia abe ale si menɔ esime Mose ɖo mí ɖe ŋkutsaƒe ene. Magate ŋu azɔ mɔ, awɔ aʋa fifia abe ɣe ma ɣi ene,
12 And therefore give! to me the hill country this which he spoke Yahweh on the day that for you you heard on the day that that Anakites [were] there and cities large fortified perhaps Yahweh with me and I will dispossess them just as he spoke Yahweh.
eya ta mele bia wòm be nàtsɔ tonyigba si ŋugbe Yehowa do nam la nam. Èɖo ŋku edzi be le míaƒe ŋkutsatsa me la, míekpɔ Anakviwo wonɔ du gã siwo woɖo gli ƒo xlãe la me. Ke ne Yehowa li kplim la, manya wo ɖa le anyigba la dzi.”
13 And he blessed him Joshua and he gave Hebron to Caleb [the] son of Jephunneh to an inheritance.
Yosua yra Kaleb, Yefune vi, eye wòtsɔ Hebron du la nɛ abe eƒe domenyinu ene.
14 There-fore it became Hebron of Caleb [the] son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite an inheritance until the day this because that he filled after Yahweh [the] God of Israel.
Hebron ganye Kaleb, si nye Yefune, ame si hã nye Kenizitɔ la ƒe vi ƒe dzidzimeviwo tɔ va se ɖe egbe, elabena Kaleb ɖo to Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la.
15 And [the] name of Hebron before [was] Kiriath Arba [who was] the man great among the Anakites he and the land it was at peace from war.
Wotsɔ Anakitɔwo ƒe ame xɔŋkɔ aɖe ƒe ŋkɔ na Hebron, eya ta woyɔnɛ tsã be, Kiriat Arba. Tso esime Israelviwo xɔ anyigba la, eye wonɔ edzi ko la, afi ma tɔwo megaho aʋa ɖe wo ŋu kpɔ o.
