Joshua 14
1 These are the areas of land that the people of Israel received as their inheritance in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the the tribal leaders of Israel allotted to them.
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 Their inheritance was selected by lot for the nine and one-half tribes, just as Yahweh had commanded by the hand of Moses.
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 Moses had given the inheritance of the two and one-half tribes beyond the Jordan, but to the Levites he gave no inheritance.
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 The tribe of Joseph was actually two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim. The Levites were given no portion of the inheritance in the land, but only certain cities to live in, with their pasturelands for livestock and for their own material resources.
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 The people of Israel did as Yahweh commanded Moses, so they assigned the land.
Ale wowɔ se si Yehowa de na Mose la dzi pɛpɛpɛ le anyigba la mama me.
6 Then the tribe of Judah came to Joshua at Gilgal. Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, said to him, “You know what Yahweh said to Moses the man of God concerning you and me 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 I was forty years old when Moses the servant of Yahweh sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy on the land. I brought him a report again as it was in my heart to make.
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 But my brothers who went up with me made the heart of the people melt with fear. But I completely followed Yahweh my God.
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 Moses swore on that day, saying, 'Surely the land on which your foot has walked will be an inheritance for you and for your children forever, because you have completely followed Yahweh my God.'
Mose gblɔ nam be, ‘Kanaanyigba la ƒe akpa si dzi miele la, azu wò kple wò dzidzimeviwo tɔ tegbetegbe.’
10 Now, look! Yahweh has kept me alive these forty-five years, just as he said—from the time when Yahweh spoke this word to Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness. Now, look! I am this day eighty-five years old.
“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 I am still as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me out. My strength is now as my strength was then, for war and for going and coming.
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 Now therefore give me this hill country, which Yahweh promised me on that day. For you heard on that day that the Anakim were there with great fortified cities. It may be that Yahweh will be with me and that I will drive them out, just as Yahweh said.”
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 Then Joshua blessed him and gave Hebron as an inheritance to Caleb son of Jephunneh.
Yosua yra Kaleb, Yefune vi, eye wòtsɔ Hebron du la nɛ abe eƒe domenyinu ene.
14 Therefore Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day, because he completely followed 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 Now the name of Hebron formerly was Kiriath Arba. (Arba had been the greatest man among the Anakim.) Then the land had rest 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.
