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 this is what the children of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, allotted for inheritance to them:

2 sorte omnia dividentes, sicut praeceperat Dominus in manu Moysi, novem tribubus, et dimidiae tribui.

their inheritance was by lot, as Jehovah had commanded by Moses, for the nine tribes, and the half tribe.

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

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

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

For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim; and they gave no part to the Levites in the land, save cities to dwell in, and their suburbs for their cattle and for their substance.

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

As Jehovah had commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did, and they divided the land.

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

Then the children of Judah came near to Joshua in Gilgal, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, Thou knowest the word that Jehovah spoke to Moses the man of God, concerning me and thee, in Kadesh-barnea.

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

Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of Jehovah sent me from Kadesh-barnea to search out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in my heart.

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

And my brethren that had gone up with me made the heart of the people melt; but I wholly followed Jehovah my God.

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

And Moses swore on that day, saying, The land whereon thy feet have trodden shall assuredly be thine inheritance, and thy children's for ever! for thou hast wholly followed Jehovah my God.

10 Concessit ergo Dominus vitam mihi, sicut pollicitus est usque in praesentem 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 behold, Jehovah has kept me alive, as he said, these forty-five years, since Jehovah spoke this word to Moses, when Israel wandered 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 this day strong, as in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, both to go out and to come in.

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

And now give me this mountain, of which Jehovah spoke in that day; for thou heardest in that day that Anakim are there, and great fortified cities. If so be Jehovah shall be with me, then I shall dispossess them, as Jehovah said.

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

And Joshua blessed him, and gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance.

14 atque ex eo fuit Hebron Caleb filio Iephone Cenezaeo usque in praesentem diem: quia secutus est Dominum Deum Israel.

Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day, because he wholly followed Jehovah the God of Israel.

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

Now the name of Hebron before was Kirjath-Arba; the great man among the Anakim. And the land rested from war.
