< Jozue 14 >

1 To so dežele, ki so jih Izraelovi otroci podedovali v kánaanski deželi, ki so jim jo duhovnik Eleazar, Nunov sin Józue in poglavarji očetov rodov Izraelovih otrok razdelili v dediščino.
This is what the children of Israel possessed in the land of Chanaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Josue the son of Nun, and the princes of the families by the tribes of Israel gave to them:
2 Njihova dediščina je bila po žrebu, kakor je Gospod zapovedal po Mojzesovi roki, za devet rodov in za polovico rodu.
Dividing all by lot, as the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses, to the nine tribes, and the half tribe.
3 Kajti Mojzes je na drugi strani Jordana dal dediščino dvema rodovoma in polovici rodu, toda Lévijevcem med njimi ni dal nobene dediščine.
For to two tribes and a half Moses had given possession beyond the Jordan: besides the Levites, who received no land among their brethren:
4 Kajti od Jožefovih otrok sta bila dva rodova, Manáse in Efrájim. Zato v deželi niso dali nobenega deleža Lévijevcem, razen mest, da prebivajo v njih, z njihovimi predmestji za njihovo živino in za njihovo imetje.
But in their place succeeded the children of Joseph divided into two tribes, of Manasses and Ephraim: neither did the Levites receive other portion of land, but cities to dwell in, and their suburbs to feed their beasts and flocks.
5 Kakor je Gospod zapovedal Mojzesu, tako so Izraelovi otroci storili in razdelili so deželo.
As the Lord had commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel, and they divided the land.
6 Potem so Judovi otroci prišli k Józuetu v Gilgál in Jefunéjev sin Kaléb, Kenázovec, mu je rekel: »Ti poznaš stvar, ki jo je Gospod rekel Božjemu možu Mojzesu glede mene in tebe v Kadeš Barnéi.
Then the children of Juda came to Josue in Galgal, and Caleb the son of Jephone the Cenezite spoke to him: Thou knowest what the Lord spoke to Moses the man of God concerning me and thee in Cadesbarne.
7 Štirideset let mi je bilo, ko me je Gospodov služabnik Mojzes poslal iz Kadeš Barnée, da ogledam deželo in ponovno sem mu prinesel besedo, kakor je bila ta v mojem srcu.
I was forty Bears old when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Cadesbarne, to view the land, and I brought him word again as to me seemed true.
8 Kljub temu so moji bratje, ki so z menoj odšli gor, ljudstvu stopili srce, toda jaz sem v celoti sledil Gospodu, svojemu Bogu.
But my brethren, that had gone up with me, discouraged the heart of the people: and I nevertheless followed the Lord my God.
9 Mojzes je na ta dan prisegel, rekoč: ›Zagotovo bo dežela, ki si jo pomendral s svojimi stopali, tvoja dediščina in tvojih otrok na veke, ker si v celoti sledil Gospodu, mojemu Bogu.‹
And Moses swore in that day, saying: The land which thy foot hath trodden upon shall be thy possession, and thy children’s for ever, because thou hast followed the Lord my God.
10 Sedaj, glej, Gospod me je obdržal živega, kakor je rekel, teh petinštirideset let, celo odkar je Gospod spregovoril to besedo Mojzesu, medtem ko so Izraelovi otroci tavali po divjini. Sedaj glej, jaz sem danes star petinosemdeset let.
The Lord therefore hath granted me life, as he promised until this present day. It is forty and five years since the Lord spoke this word to Moses, when Israel journeyed through the wilderness: this day I am eighty-five years old,
11 Še danes sem tako močan, kakor sem bil na dan, ko me je poslal Mojzes. Kakršna je bila moja moč takrat, celo takšna je moja moč za vojno zdaj, tako za odhajanje kakor za prihajanje.
As strong as I was at that time when I was sent to view the land: the strength of that time continueth in me until this day, as well to fight as to march.
12 Zdaj mi torej daj to goro, o kateri je Gospod govoril na tisti dan, kajti na tisti dan si slišal kako so bili tam Anákovci in da so bila mesta velika in ograjena. Če bo tako, da bo Gospod z menoj, potem jih bom zmožen pognati ven, kakor je rekel Gospod.«
Give me therefore this mountain, which the Lord promised, in thy hearing also, wherein are the Enacims, and cities great and strong: if so be the Lord will be with me, and I shall be able to destroy them, as he promised me.
13 Józue ga je blagoslovil in Jefunéjevemu sinu Kalébu v dediščino izročil Hebrón.
And Josue blessed him, and gave him Hebron in possession.
14 Hebrón je torej postal dediščina Jefunéjevega sina Kaléba, Kenázovca, do tega dne, zato ker je v celoti sledil Gospodu, Izraelovemu Bogu.
And from that time Hebron belonged to Caleb the son of Jephone the Cenezite, until this present day: because he followed the Lord the God of Israel.
15 Ime Hebróna je bilo prej Kirját Arba; ta Arbá je bil velik mož med Anákovci. In dežela je imela počitek pred vojno.
The name of Hebron before was called Cariath-Arbe: Adam the greatest among the Enacims was laid there: and the land rested from wars.
