< 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.
Koro magi e kuonde mane jo-Israel oyudo kaka girkeni e piny Kanaan, ma Eliazar jadolo, Joshua wuod Nun to gi jotend dhout Israel nopogonegi.
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.
Girkeni mag-gi nochiw kuom goyo ombulu ni dhoudi ochiko gi nus, kaka Jehova Nyasaye nosechiko kokalo kuom Musa.
3
Musa nosepogo yo wuok chiengʼ mar aora Jordan ni dhoudi ariyo gi nus kaka girkeni, to ne ok opogo jo-Lawi girkeni e dier ogendini moko,
4
nimar yawuot Josef ne osepogore mi obedo dhoudi ariyo ma gin, Manase gi Efraim. Jo-Lawi ne ok oyudo pok moro e pinyno makmana mier mag dak, to gi lege ma rombgi kod dhogi nyalo kwayoe.
5
Omiyo jo-Israel nopogo pinyno mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nosechiko Musa.
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.
Eka jo-Juda nodhi ir Joshua Gilgal kendo Kaleb ma wuod Jefune ma ja-Kenizi nowachone niya, “Ingʼeyo gima Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Musa, ngʼat Nyasaye ka en Kadesh Barnea kuomi kod an.
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.
Ne an ja-higni piero angʼwen kinde mane Musa jatich Jehova Nyasaye noora ka aa Kadesh Barnea mondo anon pinyni, kendo naduogone wach kaka chunya noneno,
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].
to owetena mane odhi koda nokelo wach mane onyoso chuny ji. To kata kamano, an to naluwo Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasacha gi chunya duto.
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.’
Omiyo odiechiengno Musa nokwongʼorena ni, ‘E pinyno matiendi osenyono biro bedo girkeni magi kendo gi nyithindi nyaka chiengʼ, nikech useluwo Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasacha gi chunyu duto.’
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.
“Koro mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nosingo, osemiya ngima kuom higni piero angʼwen gabich nyaka nowach ne Musa wachni, e kinde mane jo-Israel ne pod wuotho e thim. Omiyo Jehova Nyasaye oserito ngimana, makoro an gi higni piero aboro gabich!
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.
Kata kawuono pod ategno mana ka kinde mane Musa ooracha, kendo pod an-gi ilo mar dhi oko mondo akedi mana kaka ne an ndalo cha.
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.”
Koro miya piny manie godni mane Jehova Nyasaye nosingona odiechiengʼ cha. In iwuon ni iwinjo ni jo-Anak ni kanyo kendo miechgi madongo ne lach kendo ochiel gohinga makmana Jehova Nyasaye kokonya to abiro riembogi oko mana kaka nowacho.”
13 So Joshua [asked God to] bless Caleb, and he gave to Caleb [the city of] Hebron.
Eka Joshua nogwedho Kaleb wuod Jefune mi omiye Hebron kaka girkeni mare.
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].
Omiyo Hebron osebedo mar Kaleb wuod Jefune ma ja-Kenizi nyaka aa chiengʼno, nikech noluwo Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasach Israel, gi chunye duto.
Chon ni luongo Hebron ni Kiriath Arba kaluwore gi Arba, mane jatelo maduongʼ e dier jo-Anak. Bangʼe pinyno nobedo gi kwe.
