Joshua 14
1 Otu a ka esi kenye ndị Izrel ala Kenan, bụ nke Elieza onye nchụaja, na Joshua, nwa Nun, na ndị ndu ikwu niile dị nʼebo Izrel kere.
And these are the inheritances 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 fathers' houses of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed unto them,
2 Ebo ọbụla nʼime ebo itoolu na ọkara ahụ fọdụrụ nwetara ihe nketa ha site nʼife nza, dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ya Mosis nʼiwu.
by the lot of their inheritance, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half-tribe. —
3 Ma Mosis enyelarị ebo abụọ na ọkara ala nke ha nʼofe ọzọ nke osimiri Jọdan, nʼakụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ. Ma o kenyeghị ndị Livayị ihe nketa ọbụla nʼetiti ha.
For Moses had given the inheritance of the two tribes and the half-tribe beyond the Jordan; but unto the Levites he gave no inheritance among them.
4 Nʼihi na ụmụ Josef dị ebo abụọ, ya bụ Manase na Ifrem. Enyeghị ndị Livayị oke nʼala ahụ, karịa obodo ụfọdụ ebe ha ga-ebi na ebe ịta nri nke anụ ụlọ ha.
For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim; and they gave no portion unto the Levites in the land, save cities to dwell in, with the open land about them for their cattle and for their substance. —
5 Ndị Izrel keere ala ahụ nʼusoro dịka iwu Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis si dị.
As the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did, and they divided the land.
6 Nʼoge a, ụmụ Juda zipụrụ ndị ozi ndị jekwuuru Joshua na Gilgal. Kaleb, nwa Jefune, onye Keniz so ha nʼije a. Mgbe ha bịarutere, Kaleb gwara Joshua okwu sị ya, “I chetakwara okwu ahụ Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis onye nke Chineke banyere gị na banyere mụ onwe m, mgbe anyị nọ na Kadesh Banea?
Then the children of Judah drew nigh unto Joshua in Gilgal; and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said unto him: 'Thou knowest the thing that the LORD spoke unto Moses the man of God concerning me and concerning thee in Kadesh-barnea.
7 Agbara m iri afọ anọ nʼoge ahụ Mosis onyeozi Onyenwe anyị si na Kadesh Banea zipụ anyị ịga iledo ala ndị Kenan anya. Mgbe anyị lọghachiri, agwara m ya okwu, kọwaara ya ihe m chere nʼobi m bụ eziokwu.
Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land; and I brought him back word as it was in my heart.
8 Ma ụmụnna anyị, ndị anyị na ha so gaa, menyere ụmụ Izrel egwu, mee ka obi ha daa mba ịchọ ịbanye nʼala ahụ e kwere anyị na nkwa. Ma ebe m nọgidere jiri obi m niile soro Onyenwe anyị Chineke m,
Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt; but I wholly followed the LORD my God.
9 Mosis ṅụrụ iyi sị m, ‘Ebe ọ bụ na i ji obi gị niile soro Onyenwe anyị Chineke m, ala ahụ i jegharịrị ije nʼelu ya ga-abụ ihe nketa nye gị na ụmụ gị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.’
And Moses swore on that day, saying: Surely the land whereon thy foot hath trodden shall be an inheritance to thee and to thy children for ever, because thou hast wholly followed the LORD my God.
10 “Ugbu a, dịka Onyenwe anyị kwere na nkwa, o meela ka m dị ndụ. Nke a bụ iri afọ anọ na ise kemgbe Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu ndị a, mgbe Izrel na-awagharị nʼọzara. Ma ugbu a, lee, agbaala m iri afọ asatọ na ise taa.
And now, behold, the LORD hath kept me alive, as He spoke, these forty and five years, from the time that the LORD spoke this word unto Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness; and now, lo, I am this day fourscore and five years old.
11 M dị ike taa dịka m dị nʼụbọchị ahụ Mosis zipụrụ m. Dịka ike m dị mgbe ahụ, adịkwa m ike ugbu a, ịpụ buo agha ma batakwa
As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me; as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, and to go out and to come in.
12 Ya mere, nye m ala ugwu ugwu ahụ Onyenwe anyị kwere m nkwa nʼụbọchị ahụ. Gị onwe gị nụrụ nʼoge ahụ na ụmụ Anak bi nʼebe ahụ, na obodo ha bukwara ibu, na e jikwa mgbidi e wusiri ike gbaa ha gburugburu. Ma site nʼinyeaka Onyenwe anyị, aga m achụpụ ha dịka Onyenwe anyị kwuru.”
Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the LORD spoke in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakim were there, and cities great and fortified; it may be that the LORD will be with me, and I shall drive them out, as the LORD spoke.'
13 Nʼihi nke a, Joshua gọziri Kaleb nwa Jefune. O nyere ya obodo Hebrọn ka ọ bụrụ ihe nketa ya.
And Joshua blessed him; and he gave Hebron unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance.
14 Ya mere, obodo Hebrọn ghọrọ ihe nketa Kaleb nwa Jefune onye Keniz bido mgbe ahụ, nʼihi na o ji obi ya niile soro Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel.
Therefore Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, unto this day; because that he wholly followed the LORD, the God of Israel.
15 Tupu oge a, aha a na-akpọ Hebrọn bụ Kiriat Aaba, nke pụtara Obodo Aaba. Aaba bụkwa aha nwoke kachasị ịdị ukwuu nʼetiti ndị Anak niile. Site nʼoge a gaa nʼihu, e nwere udo nʼala ahụ niile.
Now the name of Hebron beforetime was Kiriath-arba, which Arba was the greatest man among the Anakim. And the land had rest from war.
