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.
Inilah semuanya yang diterima oleh orang Israel sebagai milik pusaka di tanah Kanaan, yang telah dibagikan kepada orang Israel oleh imam Eleazar, dan Yosua bin Nun dan para kepala kaum keluarga dari suku-suku mereka,
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.
dengan mengundi milik pusaka itu, seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN dengan perantaraan Musa mengenai suku-suku yang sembilan setengah itu.
Sebab kepada suku-suku yang dua setengah lagi telah diberikan Musa milik pusaka di seberang sungai Yordan, tetapi kepada orang Lewi tidak diberikannya milik pusaka di tengah-tengah mereka.
Sebab bani Yusuf merupakan dua suku, Manasye dan Efraim. Maka kepada orang Lewi tidak diberikan bagiannya di negeri itu, selain dari kota-kota untuk didiami, dengan tanah penggembalaannya untuk ternak dan hewan mereka.
Seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN kepada Musa, demikianlah diperbuat oleh orang Israel dan dibagi-bagi merekalah negeri itu.
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.
Bani Yehuda datang menghadap Yosua di Gilgal. Pada waktu itu berkatalah Kaleb bin Yefune, orang Kenas itu, kepadanya: "Engkau tahu firman yang diucapkan TUHAN kepada Musa, abdi Allah itu, tentang aku dan tentang engkau di Kadesh-Barnea.
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.
Aku berumur empat puluh tahun, ketika aku disuruh Musa, hamba TUHAN itu, dari Kadesh-Barnea untuk mengintai negeri ini; dan aku pulang membawa kabar kepadanya yang sejujur-jujurnya.
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].
Sedang saudara-saudaraku, yang bersama-sama pergi ke sana dengan aku, membuat tawar hati bangsa itu, aku tetap mengikuti TUHAN, Allahku, dengan sepenuh hati.
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.’
Pada waktu itu Musa bersumpah, katanya: Sesungguhnya tanah yang diinjak oleh kakimu itu akan menjadi milik pusakamu dan anak-anakmu sampai selama-lamanya, sebab engkau tetap mengikuti TUHAN, Allahku, dengan sepenuh hati.
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.
Jadi sekarang, sesungguhnya TUHAN telah memelihara hidupku, seperti yang dijanjikan-Nya. Kini sudah empat puluh lima tahun lamanya, sejak diucapkan TUHAN firman itu kepada Musa, dan selama itu orang Israel mengembara di padang gurun. Jadi sekarang, telah berumur delapan puluh lima tahun aku hari ini;
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.
pada waktu ini aku masih sama kuat seperti pada waktu aku disuruh Musa; seperti kekuatanku pada waktu itu demikianlah kekuatanku sekarang untuk berperang dan untuk keluar masuk.
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.”
Oleh sebab itu, berikanlah kepadaku pegunungan, yang dijanjikan TUHAN pada waktu itu, sebab engkau sendiri mendengar pada waktu itu, bahwa di sana ada orang Enak dengan kota-kota yang besar dan berkubu. Mungkin TUHAN menyertai aku, sehingga aku menghalau mereka, seperti yang difirmankan TUHAN."
13 So Joshua [asked God to] bless Caleb, and he gave to Caleb [the city of] Hebron.
Lalu Yosua memberkati Kaleb bin Yefune, dan diberikannyalah Hebron kepadanya menjadi milik pusakanya.
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].
Itulah sebabnya Hebron menjadi milik pusaka Kaleb bin Yefune, orang Kenas itu, sampai sekarang ini, karena ia tetap mengikuti TUHAN, Allah Israel, dengan sepenuh hati.
Nama Hebron dahulu ialah Kiryat-Arba; Arba ialah orang yang paling besar di antara orang Enak. Dan amanlah negeri itu, berhenti berperang.
