Joshua 14
1 Eleazar the Supreme Priest, Joshua, and the leaders of the [twelve] tribes repeated what land would be allotted to each of the Israeli tribes in Canaan.
Isto pois é o que os filhos de Israel tiveram em herança na terra de Canaan: o que Eleazar, o sacerdote, e Josué, filho de Nun, e os Cabeças dos paes das tribus dos filhos de Israel lhes fizeram repartir,
2 Yahweh had told Moses many years previously in what way he wanted the division of the land to be decided. Moses had already declared that two and a half tribes would be allotted land on the east side of the Jordan [River]. Joseph had two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim. [Half of the tribe descended from Manasseh was allotted land on the east side of the Jordan, along with the tribes of Reuben and Gad]. The people belonging to the nine and a half other tribes [on the west side of the Jordan River] threw (lots/stones that had been marked) to decide which land each tribe would receive. The tribe of Levi was not allotted any land. They received only towns [that already existed], towns in which to live, and (pastures/fields of grass) for their animals.
Por sorte da sua herança, come o Senhor ordenara, pelo ministerio de Moysés, ácerca das nove tribus e da meia tribu.
Porquanto ás duas tribus e á meia tribu já deu Moysés herança d'além do Jordão: mas aos levitas não tinha dado herança entre elles.
Porque os filhos de José foram duas tribus, Manasseh e Ephraim: e aos levitas não deram herança na terra, senão cidades em que habitassem, e os seus arrabaldes para seu gado e para sua possessão.
Como o Senhor ordenara a Moysés, assim fizeram os filhos d'Israel, e repartiram a terra.
6 One day some men from the tribe of Judah went to Joshua while he and all the Israelis were at Gilgal. Among those men was Jephunneh’s son Caleb. He said to Joshua, “[I am sure that] you remember what Yahweh said to the prophet Moses about you and me when we were at Kadesh-Barnea.
Então os filhos de Judah chegaram a Josué em Gilgal; e Caleb, filho de Jefoné o kenezeo, lhe disse: Tu sabes a palavra que o Senhor fallou a Moysés, homem de Deus, em Cades-barnea, por causa de mim e de ti.
7 I was 40 years old at that time. Moses sent me [and you and some other men] to explore this land. When we returned, I gave to Moses a true report [IDM] about what we had seen.
Da edade de quarenta annos era eu, quando Moysés, servo do Senhor, me enviou de Cades-barnea a espiar a terra: e eu lhe trouxe resposta, como sentia no meu coração:
8 The other men who went with us [gave a report that] caused the people to be afraid [IDM]. But I fully/completely believed [that] Yahweh [would enable us to take the land from the people who lived there].
Mas meus irmãos, que subiram comigo, fizeram derreter o coração do povo: eu porém perseverei em seguir ao Senhor meu Deus.
9 So on that day, Moses solemnly promised me, ‘[Some of] the land on which you walked will become yours. It will belong to your descendants forever. I am giving it to you because you fully trusted in Yahweh, my God.’
Então Moysés n'aquelle dia jurou, dizendo: Certamente a terra que pisou o teu pé será tua, e de teus filhos, em herança perpetuamente; pois perseveraste em seguir ao Senhor meu Deus
10 “Now Yahweh has done for me what he promised. Forty-five years have passed since Moses said that to me during the time that we were wandering around in the desert. And just like Yahweh promised, he has kept me alive and well all during that time. Now I am eighty-five years old.
E agora eis-que o Senhor me conservou em vida, como disse; quarenta e cinco annos ha agora, desde que o Senhor fallou esta palavra a Moysés, andando Israel ainda no deserto: e agora eis-que já hoje sou de edade de oitenta e cinco annos.
11 I am as strong today as I was on the day that Moses sent me [to explore this land]. I am as ready to fight now as I was then.
E ainda hoje estou tão forte como no dia em que Moysés me enviou; qual a minha força então era, tal é agora a minha força, para a guerra, e para sair e para entrar.
12 So please give me the hilly area that Yahweh promised to give to me at that time long ago. At that time, you heard [me say] that the Amalek people-group lived there. You heard me say that their cities were large, and they had walls around them [to protect them from attacks by their enemies]. But now, Yahweh will help me, and as a result I will force them to leave, just like Yahweh said would happen.”
Agora pois dá-me este monte de que o Senhor fallou aquelle dia: pois n'aquelle dia tu ouviste que os enakins estão ali, e grandes e fortes cidades ha ali: porventura o Senhor será comigo, para os expellir, como o Senhor disse.
13 So Joshua [asked God to] bless Caleb, and he gave to Caleb [the city of] Hebron.
E Josué o abençoou, e deu a Caleb, filho de Jefoné, a Hebron em herança.
14 Previously that city was called Kiriath-Arba, because Arba was the greatest man among the Amalek people-group. Hebron still belongs to the descendants of Caleb, because Caleb completely/fully trusted in Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], and obeyed him. After that happened, there was (peace/no battles) in [Canaan] land [for many years].
Portanto Hebron foi de Caleb, filho de Jefoné o kenezeo, em herança até ao dia d'hoje: porquanto perseverara em seguir ao Senhor Deus d'Israel.
E era d'antes o nome d'Hebron Kiriath-arba, porque Arba foi um grande homem entre os anekins. E a terra repousou da guerra.
