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;
This is what the sons of Israel possessed in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar, the priest, and Joshua, the son of Nun, and the leaders of the families, by the tribes of Israel, gave 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—
dividing all by lot, just as the Lord had instructed by the hand of Moses, to the nine tribes and to the one 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 to the two and one half tribes, Moses had given a possession beyond the Jordan, aside from the Levites, who received no land among their brothers.
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;
For by succession, the sons of Joseph, in their place, were divided into two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim. But the Levites did not receive another portion of land, except cities in which to live, and their suburbs, so as to feed their beasts of burden and cattle.
5 ze nandilia’ Iehovà i Mosèy, le nanoe’ o ana’ Israeleo, amy fanjarañe i taneiy.
Just as the Lord had commanded Moses, so the sons of Israel did, and they divided 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.
And so, the sons of Judah approached Joshua at Gilgal. And Caleb, the son of Jephone, the Kenizzite, spoke to him: “You know what the Lord said to Moses, the man of God, at Kadesh-barnea, about me and you.
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, so that I might consider the land. And I reported to him what seemed to me to be true.
8 Toe nampitronake ty arofo’ ondatio o rahalahy nindre lia amakoo; fe Iehovà Andrianañahareko avao ty noriheko.
But my brothers, who had ascended with me, broke the heart of the people. And I nevertheless followed the Lord my God.
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 Moses swore, on that day, saying: ‘The land that your foot has tread upon shall be your possession, and that of your sons, unto eternity. For you have followed the Lord my God.’
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.
Therefore, the Lord has granted life to me, just as he promised, even to the present day. It has been forty-five years since the Lord spoke this word to Moses, when Israel was wandering through the wilderness. Today, 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.
being just as strong as I was at that time, when I was sent to explore the land. The fortitude in me at that time continues even until today, as much to fight as to march.
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.
Therefore, grant to me this mountain, which the Lord has promised in your hearing also, on which are the Anakim, and cities, great and fortified. Perhaps it may be that the Lord will be with me, and I will be able to destroy them, just as he promised to me.”
13 Aa le tinata’ Iehosoa; vaho natolo’e amy Kalebe ana’ Iefonè ty Kebrone ho lova.
And Joshua blessed him, and he delivered Hebron to him as a possession.
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.
And from then on, Hebron was for Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, the Kenizzite, even to the present day. For he followed 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.
Previously, the name Hebron was called Kiriath-Arba. Adam, the greatest among the Anakim, was laid there. And the land ceased from battles.
