Yashuuca 14

1 Kuwanu waa dhaxalkii ay reer binu Israa'iil ka qaateen dalkii reer Kancaan, oo wadaadkii Elecaasaar ahaa, iyo Yashuuca ina Nuun, iyo madaxdii qabiilooyinkii reer binu Israa'iil ay u qaybiyeen.

This was the land that was allotted to the Israelites to own in the land of Canaan by Eleazar the priest, Joshua, son of Nun, and the leaders of the tribes.

2 Oo sidii Rabbigu ku amray Muuse sagaal qabiil iyo qabiil badhkiis saami bay ku heleen dhaxalkoodii.

The decision regarding the land division among the nine and a half tribes was made by casting lots, as the Lord had instructed Moses.

3 Waayo, Muuse wuxuu laba qabiil iyo qabiil badhkiis dhaxal ka siiyey Webi Urdun shishadiisa: laakiinse reer Laawi innaba dhaxal ma uu siin.

Moses had allotted land to the two and a half tribes east of the Jordan but he had made no allocation to the Levites among them.

4 Maxaa yeelay, reer Yuusuf waxay ahaayeen laba qabiil, oo kala ah reer Manaseh iyo reer Efrayim; oo dhulkii qayb lagama siin reer Laawi magaalooyinkii ay degganaayeen mooyaane, iyo agagaarkoodii ay xoolahoodii iyo alaabtoodii ku hayn jireen.

The descendants of Joseph had become two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim. The Levites were not given any land, only towns to live in and pasture for their flocks and herds.

5 Oo sidii Rabbigu Muuse ku amray ayay reer binu Israa'iil yeeleen, oo dalkiina way qaybsadeen.

So the Israelites followed the instructions the Lord had given Moses in allocating the land.

6 Markaasaa reer Yahuudah waxay u soo dhowaadeen Yashuuca oo Gilgaal joogay; oo Kaaleeb ina Yefunneh, oo ahaa reer Qenes, wuxuu isagii ku yidhi, Waad garanaysaa wixii aniga iyo adiga inagu saabsanaa oo Rabbigu u sheegay Muuse oo ahaa nin Ilaah, markaynu Qaadeesh Barneeca joognay.

Leaders from the tribe of Judah approached Joshua at Gilgal, and Caleb, son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, said to him, “You remember what the Lord told Moses, the man of God, at Kadesh-barnea about me and you.

7 Afartan sannadood baan jiray markii addoonkii Ilaah oo Muuse ahaa iga diray Qaadeesh Barneeca inaan dalka soo basaaso; oo sidii qalbigayga ku jirtay ayaan ugu soo war celiyey.

I was forty when Moses, the servant of God, sent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land. When I returned I told the truth in my report.

8 Habase yeeshee walaalahaygii i raacay ayaa dadka qalbi dhalaaliyey, laakiinse anigu daacad baan u raacay Rabbiga Ilaahayga ah.

But those who went with me made our people afraid. However, I have faithfully followed the Lord my God.

9 Oo maalintaas ayuu Muuse dhaartay, oo yidhi, Hubaal dhulkii cagtaadu ku joogsatay wuxuu dhaxal u ahaan doonaa adiga iyo carruurtaada weligiin, maxaa yeelay, daacad baad u raacday Rabbiga Ilaahayga ah.

At that time Moses made a solemn promise, telling me, ‘The land where you have walked will belong to you and your children forever, because you faithfully followed the Lord my God.’

10 Oo haddaba bal eeg, Rabbigu waa i soo gaadhsiiyey ilaa haatan, anoo nool, siduu ku hadlay, oo shan iyo afartankan sannadood baa ka dambaysay markii Rabbigu Muuse eraygan kula hadlay, oo waxay ahayd intii ay reer binu Israa'iil cidlada dhex socdeen; oo haatanna maanta waxaan jiraa shan iyo siddeetan sannadood.

Look—the Lord has kept me alive these past forty-five years as he promised, from the time the Lord told Moses this while Israel was wandering in the wilderness. Now I'm eighty-five,

11 Oo weliba maanta iyo maalintii Muuse i diray isku xoog baan ahay; oo intii itaalkaygu waagaas ahaa ayuu haatanna yahay inaan dagaal galo, iyo inaan baxo, soona galo.

but I'm still as strong today as when Moses sent me out. I'm as strong and ready for battle or for whatever may come as I was then.

12 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed i sii buurtan Rabbigu maalintaas ka hadlay, waayo, waad maqashay maalintaas in reer Canaaq halkaas joogay, oo ay magaalooyinkoodu waaweynaayeen, deyrarna lahaayeen. Mindhaa Rabbigaa ila jiri doona, waanan eryi doonaa sidii Rabbigu ku hadlay.

So give me the hill country that the Lord spoke about. You heard at that time about the descendants of Anak who lived there in large, fortified towns. If the Lord is with me I will drive them out as the Lord promised.”

13 Markaasaa Yashuuca u duceeyey isagii, oo Kaaleeb ina Yefunneh dhaxal u siiyey Xebroon.

So Joshua blessed Caleb and granted him ownership of Hebron.

14 Sidaas daraaddeed ilaa maantadan la joogo Xebroon waxay dhaxal u noqotay Kaaleeb ina Yefunneh oo ahaa reer Qenes, maxaa yeelay, daacad buu u raacay Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil.

So Hebron belonged to Caleb, son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, from that day to this because he had faithfully followed the Lord, the God of Israel.

15 Oo waagii hore Xebroon magaceeda waxaa la odhan jiray Qiryad Arbac; oo Arbacna wuxuu ahaa ninkii ugu weynaa reer Canaaq. Oo dalkiina dagaal wuu ka xasillay.

(Hebron was formerly called Kiriath-arba, named after a great leader of the descendants of Anak.) And the land was at peace.
