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.
Ga wuraren da Isra’ilawa suka sami gādo a ƙasar Kan’ana waɗanda Eleyazar firist, Yoshuwa ɗan Nun da kuma shugabannin iyalai kabila-kabila na Isra’ila suka raba musu.
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.

Haka Isra’ilawa suka raba ƙasar, yadda Ubangiji ya umarci 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.
Mutanen Yahuda kuma suka je wurin Yoshuwa a Gilgal, sai Kaleb ɗan Yefunne Bakenizze ya ce wa Yoshuwa, “Ka san abin da Ubangiji ya gaya wa Musa, mutumin Allah a Kadesh Barneya game da kai da ni.
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.
Ina da shekara arba’in lokacin da Musa bawan Ubangiji ya aike ni zuwa Kadesh Barneya in leƙi asirin ƙasar. Na kuwa kawo masa rahoto daidai yadda na ga ƙasar,
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].
amma’yan’uwana waɗanda muka je tare su suka ba da rahoton da ya sa zukatan mutane suka narke don tsoro. Ni kam na bi Ubangiji Allah da dukan zuciyata.
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.’
Saboda haka a ranan nan Musa ya rantse mini cewa, ‘Ƙasar da ka taka za tă zama ƙasarka ta gādo kai da’ya’yanka har abada, domin ka bi Ubangiji Allahna da dukan zuciyarka.’
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.
“Ga shi, kamar yadda Ubangiji ya yi alkawari, ya bar ni da rai har na ƙara shekaru arba’in da biyar tun daga lokacin da ya gaya wa Musa wannan, a lokacin da Isra’ilawa suke yawo a cikin jeji. Ga ni nan yau shekaruna tamanin da biyar!
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.
Ina nan da ƙarfina kamar yadda nake da ƙarfi a lokacin da Musa ya aike ni; zan iya fita zuwa yaƙi da ƙwazo yanzu kamar yadda nake zuwa a dā.
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.”
Yanzu sai ka ba ni wannan ƙasar da take kan tudu wadda Ubangiji ya yi alkawari zai ba ni a ranan nan. Kai ma ka ji a lokacin, yadda Anakawa suke a can, biranensu manya ne kuma sun kewaye su sosai, amma na sani Ubangiji zai taimake ni, zan kore su kamar yadda ya faɗa.”
13 So Joshua [asked God to] bless Caleb, and he gave to Caleb [the city of] Hebron.
Sai Yoshuwa ya sa wa Kaleb ɗan Yefunne albarka, ya ba shi Hebron.
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].
Saboda haka Hebron ta zama ƙasar Kaleb ɗan Yefunne Bakenizze tun daga lokacin nan, domin ya bi Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila da dukan zuciyarsa.
(Dā a kan kira wannan Hebron, Kiriyat Arba. Wannan Arba kuwa shi ne wani katon mutum a cikin Anakawa.) Sa’an nan ƙasar ta huta daga yaƙi.
