Joshua 14
1 Eleazar the Supreme Priest, Joshua, and the leaders of the [twelve] tribes repeated what land would be allotted to each of the Israeli tribes in Canaan.
Kanaan kho ah Israel ca rhoek loh a pang uh he khaw khosoih Eleazar, Nun capa Joshua neh Israel ca rhoek kah cako khuiah a lu la aka om a napa rhoek long ni a phaeng.
2 Yahweh had told Moses many years previously in what way he wanted the division of the land to be decided. Moses had already declared that two and a half tribes would be allotted land on the east side of the Jordan [River]. Joseph had two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim. [Half of the tribe descended from Manasseh was allotted land on the east side of the Jordan, along with the tribes of Reuben and Gad]. The people belonging to the nine and a half other tribes [on the west side of the Jordan River] threw (lots/stones that had been marked) to decide which land each tribe would receive. The tribe of Levi was not allotted any land. They received only towns [that already existed], towns in which to live, and (pastures/fields of grass) for their animals.
Koca pako neh hlangvang ham rho he BOEIPA loh a uen vanbangla hmulung neh Moses kut loh a yueh pah.
Koca panit neh hlangvang te Jordan rhalvangan ah Moses loh rho a paek coeng. Tedae amih khui ah Levi te tah rho a paek moenih.
Joseph ca rhoi te Manasseh neh Ephraim koca la om uh. Levi te khohmuen khuikah khoyo pae uh pawt dae khosak nah ham khopuei neh a boiva, a hnopai ham bueng ni a khocaak a khueh pah.
BOEIPA loh Moses a uen vanbangla Israel ca rhoek loh a saii uh tih khohmuen a tael uh.
6 One day some men from the tribe of Judah went to Joshua while he and all the Israelis were at Gilgal. Among those men was Jephunneh’s son Caleb. He said to Joshua, “[I am sure that] you remember what Yahweh said to the prophet Moses about you and me when we were at Kadesh-Barnea.
Te vaengah Gilgal kah Joshua taengah Judah koca rhoek te thoeih uh. Te dongah Kenizzi Jephunneh capa Kaleb loh, “Kadeshbarnea ah Pathen kah hlang Moses taengah BOEIPA loh kai kawng neh nang kawng a thui vanbangla olka khaw namah loh na ming.
7 I was 40 years old at that time. Moses sent me [and you and some other men] to explore this land. When we returned, I gave to Moses a true report [IDM] about what we had seen.
Kum sawmli ka lo ca vaengah BOEIPA kah sal Moses loh khohmuen hip hamla Kadeshbarnea lamloh kai n'tueih tih ka thinko kah aka om vanbangla olka khaw ka bal puei.
8 The other men who went with us [gave a report that] caused the people to be afraid [IDM]. But I fully/completely believed [that] Yahweh [would enable us to take the land from the people who lived there].
Te vaengah kamah neh ka cet hmaih ka manuca rhoek loh pilnam kah lungbuei a yut sak. Tedae kai tah BOEIPA ka Pathen hnukah ni ka tukkoei.
9 So on that day, Moses solemnly promised me, ‘[Some of] the land on which you walked will become yours. It will belong to your descendants forever. I am giving it to you because you fully trusted in Yahweh, my God.’
Te dongah Moses loh amah khohnin ah a toemngam tih, “Na kho loh a til khohmuen te tah namah kah rho la om saeh lamtah BOEIPA ka Pathen hnukah na tukkoei van dongah kumhal duela na ca rhoek ham om laeh saeh,” a ti.
10 “Now Yahweh has done for me what he promised. Forty-five years have passed since Moses said that to me during the time that we were wandering around in the desert. And just like Yahweh promised, he has kept me alive and well all during that time. Now I am eighty-five years old.
Kum sawmli kumnga vaengah a thui vanbangla BOEIPA loh kai tahae due n'hlun coeng he. BOEIPA loh Moses taengah hekah olka a thui vaengah Israel he khosoek ah ni a pongpa. Te dongah kai khaw tihnin ah kum sawmrhet kum nga ka lo ca coeng he.
11 I am as strong today as I was on the day that Moses sent me [to explore this land]. I am as ready to fight now as I was then.
Moses loh kai n'tueih hnin vaengkah bangla tihnin ah ka tlungluen pueng ta. Ka thadueng khaw ka thadueng nah pueng dongah caemtloek ham pataeng ka caeh rhoe ka caeh ham om.
12 So please give me the hilly area that Yahweh promised to give to me at that time long ago. At that time, you heard [me say] that the Amalek people-group lived there. You heard me say that their cities were large, and they had walls around them [to protect them from attacks by their enemies]. But now, Yahweh will help me, and as a result I will force them to leave, just like Yahweh said would happen.”
Te dongah he kah tlang he kai taengah m'pae laeh. Te khohnin ah BOEIPA loh a thui te na yaak coeng. Te khohnin ah Anakim neh khopuei tanglue khaw cakrhuet dae, kai taengah BOEIPA a om khaming. Te dongah BOEIPA kah a thui bangla amih te ka haek bitni,” a ti nah.
13 So Joshua [asked God to] bless Caleb, and he gave to Caleb [the city of] Hebron.
Te dongah Joshua loh yoethen a paek tih Hebron he Jephunneh capa Kaleb taengah rho la a paek.
14 Previously that city was called Kiriath-Arba, because Arba was the greatest man among the Amalek people-group. Hebron still belongs to the descendants of Caleb, because Caleb completely/fully trusted in Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], and obeyed him. After that happened, there was (peace/no battles) in [Canaan] land [for many years].
Israel Pathen BOEIPA hnukah a tukkoei dongah Hebron tah tihnin duela Kenizzi Jephunneh capa Kaleb kah rho la om.
Hebron ming he khaw hlamat vaengah tah Anakim khuikah hlang len Kiriatharba tila om tih a khohmuen te caemrhal lamloh mong.
