Joshua 14
1 Maya nĩmo mabũrũri marĩa andũ a Isiraeli maheirwo matuĩke igai rĩao bũrũri-inĩ wa Kaanani, ũrĩa Eleazaru mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, na Joshua mũrũ wa Nuni, na atongoria a mbarĩ cia mĩhĩrĩga ya Isiraeli maamagaĩire.
And these are the heritages which the children of Israel took in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar, the priest, and Joshua, the son of Nun, and the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, gave out to them;
2 Magai mao maagairwo na njĩra ya gũcuukĩra mĩtĩ kũrĩ o mĩhĩrĩga ĩyo kenda na nuthu, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa,
Their heritage by the Lord's decision, as he gave orders by Moses, for the nine tribes and the half-tribe.
3 nĩgũkorwo Musa nĩaheete mĩhĩrĩga ĩĩrĩ na nuthu igai rĩao mwena wa irathĩro wa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani. No rĩrĩ, ndaaheete Alawii igai hamwe na andũ acio angĩ,
For Moses had given their heritage to the two tribes and the half-tribe on the other side of Jordan, but to the Levites he gave no heritage among them.
4 nĩgũkorwo ariũ a Jusufu nĩmatuĩkĩte mĩhĩrĩga ĩĩrĩ, nĩyo mũhĩrĩga wa Manase, na wa Efiraimu. Alawii matiigana kũgaĩrwo ithaka tiga o matũũra ma gũtũũra, na ithaka iria ciarigiicĩirie matũũra macio cia kũrĩithagia ndũũru ciao cia mbũri na ngʼombe.
Because the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim; and they gave the Levites no part in the land, only towns for their living-places, with the grass-lands for their cattle and for their property.
5 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Isiraeli makĩgayania bũrũri ũcio o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa.
As the Lord had given orders to Moses, so the people of Israel did, and they made division of the land.
6 Na rĩrĩ, andũ a mũhĩrĩga wa Juda magĩthiĩ kũrĩ Joshua kũu Giligali, nake Kalebu mũrũ wa Jefune ũrĩa Mũkenizi akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩũũĩ ũhoro ũrĩa Jehova eerire Musa mũndũ wa Ngai ũkoniĩ niĩ nawe tũrĩ kũu Kadeshi-Barinea.
Then the children of Judah went to Joshua in Gilgal; and Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, said to him, You have knowledge of what the Lord said to Moses, the man of God, about me and about you in Kadesh-barnea.
7 Niĩ ndaarĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Musa ndungata ya Jehova aandũmire kuuma Kadeshi-Barinea thiĩ ngathigaane bũrũri ũcio. Nĩndamũcookeirie ũhoro o ta ũrĩa warĩ ngoro-inĩ yakwa,
I was forty years old when Moses, the servant of the Lord, sent me from Kadesh-barnea to make a search through the land; and the account which I gave him was in keeping with his desire.
8 no rĩrĩ, ariũ a ithe witũ arĩa twaambatanĩtie nao nĩmatũmire ngoro cia andũ ciyũrwo nĩ guoya. No o na kũrĩ ũguo-rĩ, niĩ nĩ ndarũmĩrĩire Jehova Ngai wakwa na ngoro yakwa yothe.
My brothers, however, who went up with me, made the heart of the people like water: but I was true to the Lord with all my heart.
9 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Musa akĩĩhĩta na mwĩhĩtwa mũthenya o ro ũcio akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Ti-itherũ bũrũri ũcio makinya maku marakinyangire ũgaatuĩka igai rĩaku na rĩa ciana ciaku nginya tene, nĩ ũndũ nĩũrũmĩrĩire Jehova Ngai wakwa na ngoro yaku yothe.’
And on that day Moses took an oath, saying, Truly the land where your feet have been placed will become a heritage for you and your children for ever, because you have been true to the Lord your God with all your heart.
10 “Na rĩrĩ, o ta ũrĩa Jehova eranĩire nĩageeka-rĩ, nĩandũũrĩtie muoyo mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna na ĩtano kuuma hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aarĩirie Musa akĩmũhe ũhoro ũcio, hĩndĩ ĩyo yothe Isiraeli moorũũraga werũ-inĩ. Na rĩrĩ, ndĩ haha ũmũthĩ, ndĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩnana na ĩtano!
And now, as you see, the Lord has kept me safe these forty-five years, from the time when the Lord said this to Moses, while Israel was wandering in the waste land: and now I am eighty-five years old.
11 Ndĩ na hinya ũmũthĩ o ta ũrĩa ndarĩ naguo mũthenya ũrĩa Musa aandũmire; ndĩ na hinya wa gũthiĩ mbaara-inĩ o ta ũrĩa ndaarĩ naguo hĩndĩ ĩyo, hinya wa gũthiĩ rũgendo kana wa kũinũka mũciĩ.
And still, I am as strong today as I was when Moses sent me out: as my strength was then, so is it now, for war and for all the business of life.
12 Tondũ ũcio rĩu kĩĩhe bũrũri ũyũ wa irĩma, o ũrĩa Jehova aaririe ũhoro waguo mũthenya ũcio. Wee mwene nĩwaiguire mũthenya ũcio atĩ andũ a Anaki maarĩ kũndũ kũu, namo matũũra mao maarĩ manene na makairigĩrwo na hinya mũno, na rĩrĩ, Jehova angĩkorwo hamwe na niĩ andeithie-rĩ, nĩngũmaingata o ta ũrĩa oigire.”
So now, give me this hill-country named by the Lord at that time; for you had an account of it then, how the Anakim were there, and great walled towns: it may be that the Lord will be with me, and I will be able to take their land, as the Lord said.
13 Nake Joshua agĩkĩrathima Kalebu mũrũ wa Jefune, na akĩmũhe Hebironi gũtuĩke igai rĩake.
And Joshua gave him his blessing; and he gave Hebron to Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, for his heritage.
14 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Hebironi gũtũũire kũrĩ gwa Kalebu mũrũ wa Jefune ũcio Mũkenizi kuuma hĩndĩ ĩyo, nĩ ũndũ nĩarũmĩrĩire Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli na ngoro yake yothe.
So Hebron became the heritage of Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, to this day, because with all his heart he was true to the Lord, the God of Israel.
15 (Hebironi gwetagwo Kiriathu-Ariba nĩ ũndũ gwetanĩtio na Ariba, ũrĩa warĩ mũndũ mũnene mũno gũkĩra arĩa angĩ othe thĩinĩ wa andũ a Anaki). Naguo bũrũri ũkĩhoorera, gũkĩaga mbaara.
In earlier times the name of Hebron had been Kiriath-arba, named after Arba, the greatest of the Anakim. And the land had rest from war.
