< 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 these are the inheritances which the children of Israel took in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers’ [houses] of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed unto 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.
by the lot of their inheritance, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes, and for 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 Jordan: but unto the Levites he gave none 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 portion unto the Levites in the land, save cities to dwell in, with the suburbs thereof 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 the LORD 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 drew nigh unto Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said unto him, Thou knowest the thing that the LORD spake unto Moses the man of God concerning me and concerning 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 the LORD sent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in mine 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.
Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt: but I wholly followed the LORD 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 sware on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon thy foot hath trodden shall be an inheritance to thee and to thy children for ever, because thou hast wholly followed the LORD 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, the LORD hath kept me alive, as he spake, these forty and five years, from the time that the LORD spake this word unto Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness: and now, lo, I am this day fourscore and 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.
As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war and 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.
Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the LORD spake in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakim were there, and cities great and fenced: it may be that the LORD will be with me, and I shall drive them out, as the LORD spake.
13 Dia nitso-drano azy Josoa ka nanome an’ i Hebrona ho lovan’ i Kaleba, zanak’ i Jefone.
And Joshua blessed him; and he gave Hebron unto 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.
Therefore Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, unto this day; because that he wholly followed the LORD, 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 beforetime was Kirjath-arba; [which Arba was] the greatest man among the Anakim. And the land had rest from war.
