Joshua 14

1 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,

Pea ko e ngaahi fonua eni ʻaia naʻe maʻu ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani, ʻaia naʻe tufaki ʻe ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki mo Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Nuni, mo e ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe kau mātuʻa, ʻi he ngaahi faʻahinga ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ko e tofiʻa moʻonautolu.

2 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.

Naʻe vahe talotalo pe ʻae tofiʻa ʻoe faʻahinga ʻe hiva mo hono vaeuaʻanga ʻoe faʻahinga ʻe taha, hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova ʻi he nima ʻo Mōsese.

3 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.

He kuo ʻosi hono foaki ʻe Mōsese ʻae tofiʻa ki he faʻahinga ʻe ua mo hono vaeuaʻanga ʻoe faʻahinga ʻi he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Soatani: ka naʻe ʻikai tuku ʻe ia ki he kau Livai ha tofiʻa ʻiate kinautolu.

4 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.

He ko e faʻahinga ʻe ua ʻoe fānau ʻa Siosefa, ko Manase mo ʻIfalemi: ko ia naʻe ʻikai ʻatu ha vāhenga ki he kau Livai ʻi he fonua, ka ko e ngaahi ʻapi kenau nofo ai, mo honau ngaahi potu ki heʻenau fanga manu, mo ʻenau koloa.

5 Just as the Lord had commanded Moses, so the sons of Israel did, and they divided the land.

Hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, naʻe pehē pe hono fai ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻonau vahe ʻae fonua.

6 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.

Pea naʻe haʻu ai ʻae fānau ʻa Siuta kia Siosiua ki Kilikali: pea ko Kelepi ko e foha ʻo Sifune mei he faʻahinga ʻo Kenasi naʻe lea kiate ia, “ʻOku ke ʻilo ʻaia naʻe folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese ko e tangata ʻae ʻOtua kiate au mo koe ʻi Ketesi-pania.

7 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.

Naʻe fāngofulu taʻu hoku motuʻa ʻi he fekauʻi au ʻe Mōsese ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova mei Ketesi-pania ke matakiʻi ʻae fonua; pea ne u ʻomi kiate ia hono tala ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe ʻi hoku loto.

8 But my brothers, who had ascended with me, broke the heart of the people. And I nevertheless followed the Lord my God.

Ka ko hoku ngaahi kāinga naʻe ʻalu hake mo au naʻa nau ngaohi ke vai ʻo ʻosi ʻae loto ʻoe kakai: ka naʻaku tuli tāupau kia Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua.

9 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.’

Pea naʻe fuakava ʻe Mōsese ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻo pehē, Ko e moʻoni ko e fonua ʻaia kuo tuʻu ki ai ho vaʻe ko e tofiʻa ia ʻoʻou, pea ki hoʻo fānau ʻo taʻengata, ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo tuli tāupau kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.

10 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,

Pea ko eni, vakai, kuo tauhi ʻeku moʻui ʻe Sihova, ʻo hangē ko ʻene folofola, ʻi he tau ni ʻe fāngofulu ma nima, ʻio talu hono folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻae lea ni kia Mōsese, ʻi he kei feʻaluʻaki fano ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he toafa: pea ko eni, vakai, ʻoku kakato ʻa hoku taʻu ʻe valungofulu ma nima he ʻaho ni.

11 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.

‌ʻOku ou kei mālohi tatau he ʻaho ni mo ʻeku mālohi ʻi he ʻaho ko ia naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese kiate au: ʻoku tatau pe ʻeku mālohi ko eni mo ʻeku mālohi ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ki he tau, ke ʻalu kituʻa, pea ke hū mai.

12 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.”

Pea ko eni, foaki mai kiate au ʻae moʻunga ni, ʻaia naʻe folofola ki ai ʻa Sihova ʻi he ʻaho ko ia; he naʻa ke fanongo ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae kau ʻAnaki, pea ko ʻenau ngaahi kolo naʻe fuʻu lahi, pea ʻāʻi: kapau ʻe ʻiate au ʻa Sihova, pea te u toki mafai ke kapusi ʻakinautolu, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova.”

13 And Joshua blessed him, and he delivered Hebron to him as a possession.

Pea naʻe tāpuaki ia ʻe Siosiua, ʻo ne foaki kia Kelepi ko e foha ʻo Sifune ʻa Hepeloni ko hono tofiʻa.

14 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.

Ko ia naʻe hoko ai ʻa Hepeloni ko e tofiʻa ʻo Kelepi ko e foha ʻo Sifune ko e [tangata ]Kenasi ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene tuli tāupau kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.

15 Previously, the name Hebron was called Kiriath-Arba. Adam, the greatest among the Anakim, was laid there. And the land ceased from battles.

Pea ko hono hingoa ʻi muʻa ʻo Hepeloni ko Kesa-ʻAlipa; ko ʻAlipa ko ia ko e tangata lahi ʻi he kau ʻAnaki. Pea naʻe mālōlō ʻae fonua mei he tau.
