Iosue 14

1 hoc est quod possederunt filii Israhel in terra Chanaan quam dederunt eis Eleazar sacerdos et Iosue filius Nun et principes familiarum per tribus Israhel

These are the inheritances which the children of Israel took in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the cohen, Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of ancestral houses of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed to them,

2 sorte omnia dividentes sicut praeceperat Dominus in manu Mosi novem tribubus et dimidiae tribui

by the lot of their inheritance, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses, to give to the nine tribes, and for the half-tribe.

3 duabus enim tribubus et dimidiae dederat Moses 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 successerant 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 descendants of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim: and they gave no portion to the Levites in the land, except cities to dwell in, with their suburbs for their livestock and for their property.

5 sicut praecepit Dominus Mosi ita fecerunt filii Israhel 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 Chaleb filius Iepphonne Cenezeus nosti quid locutus sit Dominus ad Mosen hominem Dei de me et te in Cadesbarne

Then the descendants of Judah drew 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 me misit Moses famulus Domini de Cadesbarne ut considerarem terram nuntiavique 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 Moses in die illo dicens terram 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 Mosen quando ambulabat Israhel per solitudinem hodie octoginta quinque annorum sum

Now, look, 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, look, 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

I am still 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 spoke."

13 benedixitque ei Iosue et tradidit 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 Chaleb filio Iepphonne Cenezeo usque in praesentem diem quia secutus est Dominum Deum Israhel

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

15 nomen Hebron antea vocabatur Cariatharbe Adam maximus ibi inter Enacim situs est et terra cessavit a proeliis

Now the name of Hebron before was Kiriath Arba, after the greatest man among the Anakim. The land had rest from war.
