Yoswa 14

1 Bino by’ebitundu Abayisirayiri bye baafuna ng’omugabo mu nsi y’e Kanani, Eriyazaali kabona, ne Yoswa, omwana wa Nuuni, n’emitwe gy’ennyumba eza bakitaabwe ez’ebika by’abaana ba Isirayiri bye baabagabira.

And these [are] they [of] the sons of Israel who inherited in the land of Canaan, whom Eleazar the priest, and Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the sons of Israel, caused to inherit;

2 Emigabo baagifunanga nga bakuba kalulu nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa olw’ebika omwenda n’ekitundu,

by lot [is] their inheritance, as Jehovah commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine of the tribes, and the half of the tribe;

3 kubanga Musa yali agabidde ebika ebibiri n’ekitundu omugabo gwabwe emitala wa Yoludaani, naye Abaleevi bo teyabagabira;

for Moses hath given the inheritance of two of the tribes, and of half of the tribe, beyond the Jordan, and to the Levites he hath not given an inheritance in their midst;

4 kubanga abaana ba Yusufu baali bafuuse ebika bibiri, Manase ne Efulayimu, bo Abaleevi ne bataweebwa mugabo gwonna mu nsi, wabula ebibuga byokka eby’okubeeramu, n’ensiko ey’okulundiramu ebisibo byabwe n’ebintu byabwe.

for the sons of Joseph hath been two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim, and they have not given a portion to the Levites in the land, except cities to dwell in, and their suburbs for their cattle, and for their possessions;

5 Abantu ba Isirayiri ne bagabana ensi nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.

as Jehovah commanded Moses, so have the sons of Israel done, and they apportion the land.

6 Abantu ba Yuda ne balyoka bajja eri Yoswa e Girugaali, ne Kalebu omwana wa Yefune Omukenizi n’amugamba nti, “Omanyi Mukama kye yayogera ne Musa omusajja wa Katonda e Kadesubanea ekikwata ku ggwe nange.

And the sons of Judah come nigh unto Joshua in Gilgal, and Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenezzite saith unto him, 'Thou hast known the word that Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses the man of God, concerning me and concerning thee in Kadesh-Barnea:

7 Nalina emyaka amakumi ana, Musa omuweereza wa Mukama bwe yantuma okuva e Kadesubanea okuketta ensi, era namuleteera ekigambo nga bwe kyali mu mutima gwange.

a son of forty years [am] I in Moses, servant of Jehovah, sending me from Kadesh-Barnea, to spy the land, and I bring him back word as with my heart;

8 Naye baganda bange be nnali nabo ne baleteera emitima gy’abantu okuggwaamu amaanyi olw’okutya, wabula nze nagoberera Mukama Katonda wange n’omutima gwange gwonna.

and my brethren who have gone up with me have caused the heart of the people to melt, and I have been fully after Jehovah my God;

9 Era Musa yandayirira nti, ‘Ensi ebigere byo kwe biririnnya, mugabo gwo n’abaana bo emirembe gyonna, kubanga ogoberedde Mukama Katonda wange n’omutima gwo gwonna.’

and Moses sweareth in that day, saying, If not — the land on which thy foot hath trodden, to thee it is for inheritance, and to thy sons — to the age, for thou hast been fully after Jehovah my God.

10 “Era kaakano Mukama ampangaazizza nga bwe yayogera emyaka gino amakumi ana okuva lwe yakigamba Musa, nga Isirayiri etambula mu ddungu. Era laba kaakano ndi wa myaka kinaana!

'And, now, lo, Jehovah hath kept me alive, as He hath spoken, these forty and five years, since Jehovah spake this word unto Moses, when Israel went in the wilderness; and now, lo, I [am] to-day a son of five and eighty years;

11 Nkyalina amaanyi leero nga ge nalina Musa bwe yantuma, amaanyi ge nnina leero galinga ge nalina mu kulwana, mu kufuluma ne mu kuyingira.

yet [am] I to-day strong as in the day of Moses' sending me; as my power then, so [is] my power now, for battle, and to go out, and to come in.

12 Kale noolwekyo mpa olusozi luno, Mukama lwe yayogera ku lunaku luli, kubanga wawulira ku olwo ng’Abanaki kwe baali n’ebibuga ebinene ebiriko enkomera. Mukama nga ye mubeezi wange, nnaabagoba nga Mukama bwe yayogera.”

'And now, give to me this hill-country, of which Jehovah spake in that day, for thou didst hear in that day, for Anakim [are] there, and cities, great, fenced; if so be Jehovah [is] with me, then I have dispossessed them, as Jehovah hath spoken.'

13 Yoswa n’amusabira omukisa n’awa Kalebu omwana wa Yefune Omukenezi Kebbulooni okuba omugabo gwe.

And Joshua blesseth him, and giveth Hebron to Caleb son of Jephunneh for an inheritance,

14 Olusozi Kebbulooni ne lufuuka lwa Kalebu mutabani wa Yefune ne leero, kubanga yagoberera ddala Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri.

therefore hath Hebron been to Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenezzite for an inheritance unto this day, because that he was fully after Jehovah, God of Israel;

15 Kebbulooni edda kyayitibwanga Kiriasualuba era Aluba ye yali omukulu asingayo mu Banaki. Olwo ensi n’eryoka ewummula n’etebaamu ntalo.

and the name of Hebron formerly [is] Kirjath-Arba (he [is] the great man among the Anakim); and the land hath rest from war.
