< 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;
These are the inheritances which the children of Israel took in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed 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—
by the lot of their inheritance, as Yahweh commanded by Moses, for the nine tribes, and for 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 the inheritance of the two tribes and the half-tribe beyond the Jordan; but to the Levites he gave no inheritance 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;
For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim. They gave no portion to the Levites in the land, except cities to dwell in, with their pasture lands for their livestock and for their property.
5 ze nandilia’ Iehovà i Mosèy, le nanoe’ o ana’ Israeleo, amy fanjarañe i taneiy.
The children of Israel did as Yahweh commanded Moses, 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.
Then the children of Judah came near to Joshua in Gilgal. Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, “You know the thing that Yahweh spoke to Moses the man of God concerning me and concerning 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 Yahweh sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land. I brought him word again as it was in my heart.
8 Toe nampitronake ty arofo’ ondatio o rahalahy nindre lia amakoo; fe Iehovà Andrianañahareko avao ty noriheko.
Nevertheless, my brothers who went up with me made the heart of the people melt; but I wholly followed Yahweh 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.
Moses swore on that day, saying, ‘Surely the land where you walked shall be an inheritance to you and to your children forever, because you have wholly followed Yahweh 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.
“Now, behold, Yahweh has kept me alive, as he spoke, these forty-five years, from the time that Yahweh spoke this word to Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness. Now, behold, I am eighty-five years old, today.
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.
As yet I am as strong today as I was in the day that Moses sent me. As my strength was then, even so is my strength now for war, to go out and to come in.
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.
Now therefore give me this hill country, of which Yahweh spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there, and great and fortified cities. It may be that Yahweh will be with me, and I shall drive them out, as Yahweh said.”
13 Aa le tinata’ Iehosoa; vaho natolo’e amy Kalebe ana’ Iefonè ty Kebrone ho lova.
Joshua blessed him; and he gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance.
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.
Therefore Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day, because he followed Yahweh, the God of Israel wholeheartedly.
15 Kiriate-arbà ty añara’ i Kebrone taolo, fa nifanalolahy amo nte-Anàke iabio t’i Arbà. Nitofa amy aliy i taney henane zay.
Now the name of Hebron before was Kiriath Arba, after the greatest man among the Anakim. Then the land had rest from war.
