Joshua 14

1 These are the inheritances which the children of Israel took in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed to them,

To so dežele, ki so jih Izraelovi otroci podedovali v kánaanski deželi, ki so jim jo duhovnik Eleazar, Nunov sin Józue in poglavarji očetov rodov Izraelovih otrok razdelili v dediščino.

2 by the lot of their inheritance, as the LORD commanded by Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half-tribe.

Njihova dediščina je bila po žrebu, kakor je Gospod zapovedal po Mojzesovi roki, za devet rodov in za polovico rodu.

3 For Moses had given the inheritance of the two tribes and the half-tribe beyond the Jordan; but to the Levites he gave no inheritance among them.

Kajti Mojzes je na drugi strani Jordana dal dediščino dvema rodovoma in polovici rodu, toda Lévijevcem med njimi ni dal nobene dediščine.

4 For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim. They gave no portion to the Levites in the land, except cities to dwell in, with their pasture lands for their livestock and for their property.

Kajti od Jožefovih otrok sta bila dva rodova, Manáse in Efrájim. Zato v deželi niso dali nobenega deleža Lévijevcem, razen mest, da prebivajo v njih, z njihovimi predmestji za njihovo živino in za njihovo imetje.

5 The children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses, and they divided the land.

Kakor je Gospod zapovedal Mojzesu, tako so Izraelovi otroci storili in razdelili so deželo.

6 Then the children of Judah came near to Joshua in Gilgal. Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, “You know the thing that the LORD spoke to Moses the man of God concerning me and concerning you in Kadesh Barnea.

Potem so Judovi otroci prišli k Józuetu v Gilgál in Jefunéjev sin Kaléb, Kenázovec, mu je rekel: »Ti poznaš stvar, ki jo je Gospod rekel Božjemu možu Mojzesu glede mene in tebe v Kadeš Barnéi.

7 I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land. I brought him word again as it was in my heart.

Štirideset let mi je bilo, ko me je Gospodov služabnik Mojzes poslal iz Kadeš Barnée, da ogledam deželo in ponovno sem mu prinesel besedo, kakor je bila ta v mojem srcu.

8 Nevertheless, my brothers who went up with me made the heart of the people melt; but I wholly followed the LORD my God.

Kljub temu so moji bratje, ki so z menoj odšli gor, ljudstvu stopili srce, toda jaz sem v celoti sledil Gospodu, svojemu Bogu.

9 Moses swore on that day, saying, ‘Surely the land where you walked shall be an inheritance to you and to your children forever, because you have wholly followed the LORD my God.’

Mojzes je na ta dan prisegel, rekoč: ›Zagotovo bo dežela, ki si jo pomendral s svojimi stopali, tvoja dediščina in tvojih otrok na veke, ker si v celoti sledil Gospodu, mojemu Bogu.‹

10 “Now, behold, the LORD has kept me alive, as he spoke, these forty-five years, from the time that the LORD spoke this word to Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness. Now, behold, I am eighty-five years old, today.

Sedaj, glej, Gospod me je obdržal živega, kakor je rekel, teh petinštirideset let, celo odkar je Gospod spregovoril to besedo Mojzesu, medtem ko so Izraelovi otroci tavali po divjini. Sedaj glej, jaz sem danes star petinosemdeset let.

11 As yet I am as strong today as I was in the day that Moses sent me. As my strength was then, even so is my strength now for war, to go out and to come in.

Še danes sem tako močan, kakor sem bil na dan, ko me je poslal Mojzes. Kakršna je bila moja moč takrat, celo takšna je moja moč za vojno zdaj, tako za odhajanje kakor za prihajanje.

12 Now therefore give me this hill country, of which the LORD spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there, and great and fortified cities. It may be that the LORD will be with me, and I shall drive them out, as the LORD said.”

Zdaj mi torej daj to goro, o kateri je Gospod govoril na tisti dan, kajti na tisti dan si slišal kako so bili tam Anákovci in da so bila mesta velika in ograjena. Če bo tako, da bo Gospod z menoj, potem jih bom zmožen pognati ven, kakor je rekel Gospod.«

13 Joshua blessed him; and he gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance.

Józue ga je blagoslovil in Jefunéjevemu sinu Kalébu v dediščino izročil Hebrón.

14 Therefore Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day, because he followed the LORD, the God of Israel wholeheartedly.

Hebrón je torej postal dediščina Jefunéjevega sina Kaléba, Kenázovca, do tega dne, zato ker je v celoti sledil Gospodu, Izraelovemu Bogu.

15 Now the name of Hebron before was Kiriath Arba, after the greatest man among the Anakim. Then the land had rest from war.

Ime Hebróna je bilo prej Kirját Arba; ta Arbá je bil velik mož med Anákovci. In dežela je imela počitek pred vojno.
