< 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.
Detta är nu det som Israels barn intogo i Canaans lande, hvilket dem emellan utskifte Presten Eleazar och Josua, Nuns son, och de öfverste fäder i Israels barnas slägter.
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.
Och de skifte det emellan sig med lott, såsom Herren budit hade genom Mose, att gifva de halftionde slägter.
3
Ty de två slägterna, och den halfva, hade Mose gifvit arfvedel hinsidon Jordan; men Leviterna hade han ingen arfvedel gifvit ibland dem.
4
Ty Josephs barn vordo två slägter, Manasse och Ephraim; derföre gåfvo de Leviterna ingen del i landena, utan städer, der de skulle bo uti, och förstäder för deras boskap, och håfvor.
5
Såsom Herren hade budit Mose, så gjorde Israels barn, och skifte landet.
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.
Då gingo Juda barn fram till Josua i Gilgal; och Caleb, Jephunne son, den Kenisiten, sade till honom: Du vetst hvad Herren sade till den Guds mannen Mose, på mina och dina vägnar, i KadesBarnea.
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.
Jag var fyratio åra gammal, när Mose Herrans tjenare mig utsände ifrå KadesBarnea, till att bespeja landet; och jag sade honom igen efter mitt samvet.
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].
Men mine bröder, som med mig uppgångne voro, gjorde folkena ett förskräckt hjerta; men jag följde Herran min Gud troliga efter.
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.’
Då svor Mose på den samma dagen, och sade: Det landet, som du på trädt hafver med din fot, skall vara din och dina barnas arfvedel till evig tid; derföre, att du Herran min Gud troliga efterföljt hafver.
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.
Och nu, si, Herren hafver låtit mig lefva, såsom han sagt hade; det är nu fem och fyratio år, sedan Herren detta sade till Mose, då Israel vandrade i öknene; och si, jag är nu på denna dag fem och åttatio åra gammal;
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.
Och är ännu i dag så stark, som jag var på den dagen, då Mose sände mig ut; såsom min magt var på den tiden, så är hon ännu, till att strida och till att gå ut och in.
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.”
Så gif mig nu detta berget, om hvilket Herren sade på den dagen; ty du hörde det på den tiden, att de Enakim bo deruppå, och äro store och faste städer, om Herren ville vara med mig, att jag kunde fördrifva dem, såsom Herren sagt hafver.
13 So Joshua [asked God to] bless Caleb, and he gave to Caleb [the city of] Hebron.
Då välsignade Josua honom, och gaf så Caleb, Jephunne son, Hebron till arfvedel.
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].
Deraf vardt Hebron Calebs, Jephunne sons, den Kenisitens arfvedel, allt intill denna dag; derföre, att han hade troliga efterföljt Herran Israels Gud.
Men Hebron kallades i förtiden KiriathArba, den en stor man var ibland de Enakim. Och landet hade återvändt örliga.
