< Josoa 14 >

1 Irezao o linova’ o ana’ Israeleo an-tane Kanàneo, o zinara’ i Ele­azare mpisoroñe naho Iehosoa ana’ i None naho o talèn’ anjomban-droaem-pifokoan’ ana’ Israeleo am’ iereo ho fanañañe;
And these are the heritages 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 tribes of the children of Israel, gave out to them;
2 an-tsapake ty nahazoañe o lovao, ty amy linili’ Iehovà am-pità’ i Mosèy ho a i fifokoañe sive rey naho i vaki’eiy—
Their heritage by the Lord's decision, as he gave orders by Moses, for the nine tribes and the half-tribe.
3 amy te natolo’ i Mosè ty lova’ i fifokoa roe naho vaki’e rey alafe’ Iardeney añe; fe tsy nanolora’e anjara am’ iareo ao o nte-Levio.
For Moses had given their heritage to the two tribes and the half-tribe on the other side of Jordan, but to the Levites he gave no heritage among them.
4 Roe ‘nio ty fifokoa’ i ana’ Iosefe rey, i Menasè naho i Efraime; vaho tsy nimea’ iareo anjara o nte-Levio naho tsy o rova fimo­neña’ iareoo naho ty tane fiandrazañe mañohoke iareo ho amo hare’eo naho ho famahanañe iareo;
Because the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim; and they gave the Levites no part in the land, only towns for their living-places, with the grass-lands for their cattle and for their property.
5 ze nandilia’ Iehovà i Mosèy, le nanoe’ o ana’ Israeleo, amy fanjarañe i taneiy.
As the Lord had given orders to Moses, so the people of Israel did, and they made division of the land.
6 Nifanontoñe am’ Iehosoa amy zao o ana’ Iehoda e Gilgaleo; le hoe t’i Kalebe ana’ Iefonè nte-Kenize ama’e: Fohi’o i entañe tsi­nara’ Iehovà amy Mosè ondatin’ Añahare ty amako naho ama’o e Kadese-barnea añey.
Then the children of Judah went to Joshua in Gilgal; and Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, said to him, You have knowledge of what the Lord said to Moses, the man of God, about me and about you in Kadesh-barnea.
7 Ni-efa-polo taon-draho te nirahe’ i Mosè mpitoro’ Iehovà boake Kadese-barnea hitampoñe amy taney ao; vaho nimpoly ninday ty entan-troko.
I was forty years old when Moses, the servant of the Lord, sent me from Kadesh-barnea to make a search through the land; and the account which I gave him was in keeping with his desire.
8 Toe nampitronake ty arofo’ ondatio o rahalahy nindre lia amakoo; fe Iehovà Andrianañahareko avao ty noriheko.
My brothers, however, who went up with me, made the heart of the people like water: but I was true to the Lord with all my heart.
9 Nifanta amy andro zay t’i Mosè, ami’ty hoe: Toe ho lovae’o naho o ana’oo nainai’e o tane liniam-pandia’oo, amy te norihe’o ami’ty halifora’e t’Iehovà Andrianañahareko.
And on that day Moses took an oath, saying, Truly the land where your feet have been placed will become a heritage for you and your children for ever, because you have been true to the Lord your God with all your heart.
10 Ie amy zao, hehe te nitana’ Iehovà velon-draho, amy tsara’ey, i efa-polo-lim’ amby taoñe boak’ amy andro nitsarà’ Iehovà amy Mosè i entañe zaiy, ie nirererere am-patrambey añe t’Israele; aa le an-taom-balo-polo-lim’ amby iraho henaneo.
And now, as you see, the Lord has kept me safe these forty-five years, from the time when the Lord said this to Moses, while Israel was wandering in the waste land: and now I am eighty-five years old.
11 Fe mira amy andro nañiraha’ i Mosè ahiy ty hafatrarako androany; manahake ty haozarako henane zay ty haozarako henane zao, hahafialiako naho hiavotako vaho himoahako.
And still, I am as strong today as I was when Moses sent me out: as my strength was then, so is it now, for war and for all the business of life.
12 Aa ie henaneo, atoloro ahy ty vohitse toy, i tsinara’ Iehovà amy andro zaiy, ie jinanji’o amy andro zay te ao o nte-Anàkeo, aman-drova jabajaba naho fatratse; hera hañimb’ ahy t’Iehovà vaho ho roaheko, ty amy tsara’ Iehovày.
So now, give me this hill-country named by the Lord at that time; for you had an account of it then, how the Anakim were there, and great walled towns: it may be that the Lord will be with me, and I will be able to take their land, as the Lord said.
13 Aa le tinata’ Iehosoa; vaho natolo’e amy Kalebe ana’ Iefonè ty Kebrone ho lova.
And Joshua gave him his blessing; and he gave Hebron to Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, for his heritage.
14 Aa le ninjare lova’ i Kalebe ana’ Iefonè nte-Kenize t’i Kebrone, ampara o andro zao; amy te norihe’e an-kaliforan-troke t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele.
So Hebron became the heritage of Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, to this day, because with all his heart he was true to the Lord, the God of Israel.
15 Kiriate-arbà ty añara’ i Kebrone taolo, fa nifanalolahy amo nte-Anàke iabio t’i Arbà. Nitofa amy aliy i taney henane zay.
In earlier times the name of Hebron had been Kiriath-arba, named after Arba, the greatest of the Anakim. And the land had rest from war.
