Yoshua 14
1 Basi haya ndiyo maeneo Waisraeli waliyopokea kama urithi katika nchi ya Kanaani, ambayo kuhani Eleazari, Yoshua mwana wa Nuni na viongozi wa koo za kabila za Israeli waliwagawia.
And these [are that] which they inherited [the] people of Israel in [the] land of Canaan which they gave as a possession them Eleazar the priest and Joshua [the] son of Nun and [the] leaders of [the] fathers of the tribes of [the] people of Israel.
2 Urithi wao uligawanywa kwa kura kwa yale makabila tisa na nusu, kama Bwana alivyoamuru Mose.
By [the] allotted portion of inheritance their just as he had commanded Yahweh by [the] hand of Moses for [the] nine the tribes and [the] half of the tribe.
3 Mose alikuwa amewapa yale makabila mawili na nusu urithi wao upande wa mashariki mwa Yordani, lakini Walawi hawakupewa urithi miongoni mwa hao wengine,
For he had given Moses [the] inheritance of [the] two the tribes and [the] half of the tribe from [the] other side of the Jordan and to the Levites not he had given an inheritance in midst of them.
4 kwa kuwa wana wa Yosefu walikuwa makabila mawili; Manase na Efraimu. Walawi hawakupata mgawo wa ardhi, bali walipewa miji tu kwa ajili ya kuishi, pamoja na maeneo ya malisho kwa ajili ya makundi yao ya kondoo, mbuzi na ngʼombe wao.
For they were [the] descendants of Joseph two tribes Manasseh and Ephraim and not people gave a portion to the Levites in the land that except cities to dwell in and pasture lands their for livestock their and for possession[s] their.
5 Kwa hiyo Waisraeli wakagawana ile nchi, kama vile Bwana alivyomwagiza Mose.
Just as he had commanded Yahweh Moses so they did [the] people of Israel and they apportioned the land.
6 Kisha watu wa Yuda wakamwendea Yoshua huko Gilgali, naye Kalebu mwana wa Yefune yule Mkenizi, akamwambia, “Unajua jambo ambalo Bwana alimwambia Mose mtu wa Mungu huko Kadesh-Barnea kukuhusu wewe na mimi.
And they approached [the] descendants of Judah to Joshua at Gilgal and he said to him Caleb [the] son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite you you know the word which he spoke Yahweh to Moses [the] man of God on causes my and on causes your at Kadesh Barnea.
7 Nilikuwa na umri wa miaka arobaini, wakati Mose mtumishi wa Bwana, aliponituma kutoka Kadesh-Barnea kuipeleleza hiyo nchi. Nami nikamletea taarifa kama kulingana na nilivyosadiki moyoni.
[was] a son of Forty year[s] I when sent Moses [the] servant of Yahweh me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land and I brought back him a word just as with heart my.
8 Lakini ndugu zangu tuliopanda nao waliifanya mioyo ya watu iyeyuke kwa hofu. Bali mimi, nilimfuata Bwana Mungu wangu kwa moyo wote.
And brothers my who they went up with me they melted [the] heart of the people and I I filled after Yahweh God my.
9 Hivyo katika siku ile, Mose akaniapia, ‘Nchi ambayo umeikanyaga kwa miguu yako itakuwa urithi wako na wa watoto wako milele, kwa sababu umemfuata Bwana Mungu wangu kwa moyo wote.’
And he swore an oath Moses on the day that saying if not the land which it trod foot your on it of you it will become an inheritance and of children your until perpetuity for you filled after Yahweh God my.
10 “Sasa basi, kama vile Bwana alivyoahidi, ameniweka hai kwa miaka arobaini na mitano tangu wakati alipomwambia Mose jambo hili, wakati Waisraeli wakiwa wanazunguka jangwani. Hivyo mimi hapa leo, nina umri wa miaka themanini na mitano!
And now here! he has let live Yahweh - me just as he spoke this forty and five year[s] from then he spoke Yahweh the word this to Moses when it walked Israel in the wilderness and now here! I this day [am] a son of five and eighty year[s].
11 Bado ninazo nguvu kama siku ile Mose aliponituma. Bado ninazo nguvu za kwenda vitani sasa kama vile nilivyokuwa wakati ule.
Still I this day [am] strong just as on [the] day sent me Moses as strength my then and as strength my now for the battle and to go out and to come.
12 Basi nipe nchi hii ya vilima, ambayo Bwana aliniahidi siku ile. Wewe mwenyewe ulisikia wakati ule kwamba Waanaki walikuwako huko na miji yao ilikuwa mikubwa na yenye maboma, lakini, kwa msaada wa Bwana, nitawafukuza watoke huko kama vile alivyonena.”
And therefore give! to me the hill country this which he spoke Yahweh on the day that for you you heard on the day that that Anakites [were] there and cities large fortified perhaps Yahweh with me and I will dispossess them just as he spoke Yahweh.
13 Ndipo Yoshua akambariki Kalebu mwana wa Yefune, na akampa Hebroni kama urithi wake.
And he blessed him Joshua and he gave Hebron to Caleb [the] son of Jephunneh to an inheritance.
14 Hivyo Hebroni imekuwa mali ya Kalebu mwana wa Yefune Mkenizi tangu wakati ule, kwa sababu alimwandama Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, kwa moyo wote.
There-fore it became Hebron of Caleb [the] son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite an inheritance until the day this because that he filled after Yahweh [the] God of Israel.
15 (Hebroni uliitwa Kiriath-Arba hapo mwanzo, kutokana na huyo Arba ambaye alikuwa mtu mkuu kupita wote miongoni mwa Waanaki.) Kisha nchi ikawa na amani bila vita.
And [the] name of Hebron before [was] Kiriath Arba [who was] the man great among the Anakites he and the land it was at peace from war.
