Josoa 14
1 Ary izao no nolovan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely teo amin’ ny tany Kanana, izay nampandovain’ i Eleazara mpisorona sy Josoa, zanak’ i Nona, ary ny loholon’ ny firenen’ i Zanak’ Isiraely;
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 tamin’ ny filokana no nahazoany ny lovany, araka izay efa nandidian i Jehovah an’ i Mosesy ny amin’ ny firenena sivy sy sasany.
their inheritance was by lot, as Jehovah had commanded by Moses, for the nine tribes, and the half tribe.
3 Fa efa nomen’ i Mosesy lova tany an-dafin’ i Jordana ny firenena roa sy sasany; fa ny taranak’ i Levy tsy mba nomeny lova teo aminy.
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 Fa firenena roa ny taranak’ i Josefa, dia Manase sy Efraima; ary tsy mba nomeny anjara teo amin’ ny tany ny taranak’ i Levy, afa-tsy ny tanàna honenany sy ny tany manodidina ny tanànany ho an’ ny omby aman’ ondriny sy ny fananany.
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 Araka izay efa nandidian’ i Jehovah an’ i Mosesy no nataon’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, ka dia nizara ny tany izy.
As Jehovah had commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did, and they divided the land.
6 Dia nankany amin’ i Josoa tany Gilgala ny taranak’ i Joda; ary Kaleba, zanak’ i Jefone, Kenizita, nanao taminy hoe: Fantatrao ny teny izay nolazain’ i Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy, lehilahin’ Andriamanitra, ny amiko sy ianao tany Kadesi-barnea.
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 Efa-polo taona no andro niainako, fony aho nirahin’ i Mosesy, mpanompon’ i Jehovah, niala tany Kadesi-barnea hisafo ny tany; dia niverina aho nitondra teny taminy araka izay tao am-poko.
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 Kanefa ireo rahalahiko izay niara-niakatra tamiko dia nanaketraka ny fon’ ny olona; fa izaho kosa dia tanteraka tamin’ ny fanarahana an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao.
And my brethren that had gone up with me made the heart of the people melt; but I wholly followed Jehovah my God.
9 Dia nianiana tamin’ izany andro izany Mosesy ka nanao hoe: Ny tany izay nodiavin’ ny tongotrao dia ho lovanao sy ny taranakao tokoa mandrakizay, satria tanteraka tamin’ ny fanarahana an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitro ianao.
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 Ary ankehitriny indro, efa namelona ahy Jehovah, araka izay nolazainy hatramin’ ny dimy amby efa-polo taona lasa izay, dia hatramin’ ny nilazan’ i Jehovah izany teny izany tamin’ i Mosesy no ho mankaty, raha mbola nandehandeha tany an-efitra ny Isiraely; ary ankehitriny, indro, efa dimy amby valo-polo taona aho izao.
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 Nefa mbola matanjaka ihany aho izao tahaka ny tamin’ ny andro nanirahan’ i Mosesy ahy: tahaka ny tanjako tamin’ izany ihany no mbola tanjako ankehitriny mba hiady, na hivoaka, na hiditra.
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 Ary ankehitriny omeo ahy iry tendrombohitra iry, izay nolazain’ i Jehovah tamin’ izany andro izany; fa efa renao tamin’ izany andro izany fa nitoetra teo ny Anakita, sady nisy tanàna lehibe mimanda; angamba homba ahy Jehovah, dia haharoaka azy aho, araka izay nolazain’ i Jehovah.
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 Dia nitso-drano azy Josoa ka nanome an’ i Hebrona ho lovan’ i Kaleba, zanak’ i Jefone.
And Joshua blessed him, and gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance.
14 Izany no nahatongavan’ i Hebrona ho lovan’ i Kaleba, zanak’ i Jefone, Kenizita, mandraka androany satria tanteraka tamin’ ny fanarahana an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, izy.
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 Ary tanànan’ Arba no anaran’ i Hebrona taloha; ilay lehilahy vaventy tamin’ ny Anakita izany Arba izany. Dia nandry ny tany ka tsy nisy ady intsony.
Now the name of Hebron before was Kirjath-Arba; the great man among the Anakim. And the land rested from war.
