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:

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,

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

by the lot of their inheritance, as the LORD commanded by Moses, for the nine tribes, and for 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 gave 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. 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.

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

The children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses, 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. 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.

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

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.

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

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

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.’

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

“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.

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.

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.

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.

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.”

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

Joshua blessed him; and he 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.

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.

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 Kiriath Arba, after the greatest man among the Anakim. Then the land had rest from war.
