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.
Und dies ist, was die Söhne Israels im Lande Kanaan als Erbe erhielten, das ihnen zum Erbe verteilten Eleasar, der Priester, und Joschua, der Sohn Nuns, und die Häupter der Väter der Stämme, der Söhne Israels.
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.
Durch das Los, wie Jehovah durch Mose geboten hatte, verteilten sie das Erbe den neun Stämmen und dem halben Stamm.
Denn Mose hatte den zwei Stämmen und dem halben Stamm das Erbe jenseits des Jordans gegeben, und den Leviten gab er kein Erbe in ihrer Mitte.
Denn die Söhne Josephs wurden zwei Stämme: Menascheh und Ephraim; und den Leviten gaben sie keinen Teil im Lande, sondern Städte zum Wohnen und deren Weichbilde für ihre Viehherden und ihren Besitz.
Wie Jehovah Mose geboten hatte, so taten die Söhne Israels und verteilten das Land.
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.
Und die Söhne Judahs traten herzu zu Joschua in Gilgal; und Kaleb, der Sohn Jephunnehs, der Kenissite, sprach zu ihm: Du weißt das Wort, das Jehovah zu Mose, dem Manne Gottes, in Kadesch Barnea meinetwegen und deinetwegen geredet hat.
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.
Vierzig Jahre war ich alt, als Mose der Knecht Jehovahs, mich aus Kadesch Barnea sandte, das Land auszukundschaften, und ich brachte ihm Nachricht zurück, wie es in meinem Herzen war.
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].
Aber meine Brüder, die mit mir hinaufgezogen waren, machten das Herz des Volkes zerschmelzen; ich aber folgte Jehovah, meinem Gotte, völlig.
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.’
Und Mose schwur selbigen Tages und sprach: Fürwahr, das Land, das dein Fuß betreten hat, soll dir und deinen Söhnen zum Erbe sein ewiglich; denn du folgtest Jehovah, meinem Gotte, völlig.
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.
Und nun siehe, Jehovah hat mich am Leben erhalten, wie Er geredet hat, diese fünfundvierzig Jahre, seit Jehovah dies Wort geredet hat zu Mose, da Israel in der Wüste zog, und nun siehe, ich bin diesen Tag fünfundachtzig Jahre alt.
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.
Noch bin ich diesen Tag so stark, wie am Tage, da Mose mich sandte; wie meine Kraft war damals, so ist meine Kraft jetzt, zum Streit, zum Ausgang und zum Eingang.
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.”
Und nun, gib mir diesen Berg, davon Jehovah an selbigem Tag geredet hat. Denn du hast an demselben Tage gehört, daß Enakim dort sind, und große, feste Städte. Vielleicht ist Jehovah mit mir, daß ich sie austreibe, wie Jehovah geredet hat.
13 So Joshua [asked God to] bless Caleb, and he gave to Caleb [the city of] Hebron.
Und Joschua segnete ihn und gab Chebron dem Kaleb, dem Sohne Jephunnehs, zum Erbe.
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].
Deshalb ward Chebron dem Kaleb, dem Sohne Jephunnehs, dem Kenissiten zum Erbe bis auf diesen Tag, darum, daß er Jehovah, dem Gotte Israels, völlig gefolgt.
Und der Name Chebron war vordem Kirjath Arbah, eines Menschen, der groß war unter den Enakim; und das Land rastete vom Krieg.
