Iosue 14

1 Hoc est, quod possederunt filii Israel in Terra Chanaan, quam dederunt eis Eleazar sacerdos, et Iosue filius Nun, et principes familiarum per tribus Israel:

And these [are] they of the children of Israel that received their inheritance in the land of Chanaan, to whom Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the [son] of Naue, and the heads of the families of the tribes of the children of Israel, gave inheritance.

2 sorte omnia dividentes, sicut præceperat Dominus in manu Moysi, novem tribubus, et dimidiæ tribui.

They inherited according to their lots, as the Lord commanded by the hand of Joshua to the nine tribes and the half tribe, on the other side of Jordan.

3 Duabus enim tribubus, et dimidiæ dederat Moyses trans Iordanem possessionem: absque Levitis, qui nihil terræ acceperunt inter fratres suos:

But to the Levites he gave no inheritance among them.

4 sed in eorum successerunt locum filii Ioseph in duas divisi tribus, Manasse et Ephraim: nec acceperunt Levitæ aliam in Terra partem, nisi urbes ad habitandum, et suburbana earum ad alenda iumenta et pecora sua.

For the sons of Joseph were two tribes, Manasse and Ephraim; and there was none inheritance in the land given to the Levites, only cities to dwell in, and their suburbs separated for the cattle, and their cattle.

5 Sicut præceperat Dominus Moysi, ita fecerunt filii Israel, et diviserunt Terram.

As the Lord commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel; and they divided the land.

6 Accesserunt itaque filii Iuda ad Iosue in Galgala, locutusque est ad eum Caleb filius Iephone Cenezæus: Nosti quid locutus sit Dominus ad Moysen hominem Dei de me et te in Cadesbarne.

And the children of Juda came to Joshua in Galgal, and Chaleb the [son] of Jephone the Kenezite said to him, Thou knowest the word that the Lord spoke to Moses the man of God concerning me and thee in Cades Barne.

7 Quadraginta annorum eram quando misit me Moyses famulus Domini de Cadesbarne, ut considerarem Terram, nunciavique ei quod mihi verum videbatur.

For I was forty years old when Moses the servant of God sent me out of Cades Barne to spy out the land; and I returned him an answer according to his mind.

8 Fratres autem mei, qui ascenderant mecum, dissolverunt cor populi: et nihilominus ego secutus sum Dominum Deum meum.

My brethren that went up with me turned away the heart of the people, but I applied my self to follow the Lord my God.

9 Iuravitque Moyses in die illo, dicens: Terra, quam calcavit pes tuus, erit possessio tua, et filiorum tuorum in æternum: quia secutus es Dominum Deum meum.

And Moses sware on that day, saying, The land on which thou art gone up, it shall be thy inheritance and thy children's for ever, because thou hast applied thyself to follow the Lord our God.

10 Concessit ergo Dominus vitam mihi, sicut pollicitus est usque in præsentem diem. Quadraginta et quinque anni sunt, ex quo locutus est Dominus verbum istud ad Moysen, quando ambulabat Israel per solitudinem: hodie octoginta quinque annorum sum,

And now the Lord has kept me alive as he said: this [is] the forty-fifth year since the Lord spoke that word to Moses; and Israel journeyed in the wilderness; and now, behold, I [am] this day eighty-five years old.

11 sic valens, ut eo valebam tempore quando ad explorandum missus sum: illius in me temporis fortitudo usque hodie perseverat, tam ad bellandum quam ad gradiendum.

I am still strong this day, as when the Lord sent me: just so strong am I now to go out and to come in for war.

12 Da ergo mihi montem istum, quem pollicitus est Dominus, te quoque audiente, in quo Enacim sunt, et urbes magnæ atque munitæ: si forte sit Dominus mecum, et potuero delere eos: sicut promisit mihi.

And now I ask of thee this mountain, as the Lord said in that day; for thou heardest this word on that day; and now the Enakim are there, cities great and strong: if then the Lord should be with me, I will utterly destroy them, as the Lord said to me.

13 Benedixitque ei Iosue: et tradidit ei Hebron in possessionem.

And Joshua blessed him, and gave Chebron to Chaleb the son of Jephone the son of Kenez for an inheritance.

14 Atque ex eo fuit Hebron Caleb filio Iephone Cenezæo usque in præsentem diem: quia secutus est Dominum Deum Israel.

Therefore Chebron became the inheritance of Chaleb the [son] of Jephone the Kenezite until this day, because he followed the commandment of the Lord God of Israel.

15 Nomen Hebron ante vocabatur Cariath Arbe: Adam maximus ibi inter Enacim situs est: et Terra cessavit a præliis.

And the name of Chebron before was the city Argob, it [is] the metropolis of the Enakim: and the land rested from war.
