< Joshua 14 >

1 These are the inheritances which the children of Israel took in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed to them,
イスラエルの子孫がカナンの地にて取しその產業の地は左のごとし即ち祭司エレアザル、ヌンの子ヨシユアおよびイスラエルの子孫の支派の族長等これを彼らに分ち
2 by the lot of their inheritance, as the LORD commanded by Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half-tribe.
ヱホバがモーセによりて命じたまひしごとく產業の籤によりて之を九の支派および半の支派に與ふ
3 For Moses had given the inheritance of the two tribes and the half-tribe beyond the Jordan; but to the Levites he gave no inheritance amongst them.
其はヨルダンの彼旁にてモーセ已にかの二の支派と半の支派とに產業を與へたればなり但しレビ人には之が中に產業を與へざりき
4 For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim. They gave no portion to the Levites in the land, except cities to dwell in, with their pasture lands for their livestock and for their property.
是はヨセフの子孫マナセ、エフライムの二の支派と成たるに因て然りレビ人には此地において何の分をも與へず唯その住べき邑々およびその家畜と貨財を置べき郊地を與へしのみ
5 The children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses, and they divided the land.
イスラエルの子孫ヱホバのモーセに命じたまひしごとく行ひてその地を分てり
6 Then the children of Judah came near to Joshua in Gilgal. Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, “You know the thing that the LORD spoke to Moses the man of God concerning me and concerning you in Kadesh Barnea.
茲にユダの子孫ギルガルにてヨシユアの許に至りケニズ人ヱフンネの子カレブ、ヨシユアに言けるはヱホバ、カデシバルネアにて我と汝との事につきて神の人モーセに告たまひし事あり汝これを知る
7 I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land. I brought him word again as it was in my heart.
ヱホバの僕モーセが此地を窺はせんとて我をカデシバルネアより遣はしし時に我は四十歳なりき其時我は心に思ふまにまに彼に復命したり
8 Nevertheless, my brothers who went up with me made the heart of the people melt; but I wholly followed the LORD my God.
我とともに上り往しわが兄弟等は民の心を挫くことを爲たりしが我は全く我神ヱホバに從へり
9 Moses swore on that day, saying, ‘Surely the land where you walked shall be an inheritance to you and to your children forever, because you have wholly followed the LORD my God.’
その日モーセ誓ひて言けらく汝の足の踐たる地は必ず永く汝と汝の子孫の產業となるべし汝まったく我神ヱホバに從がひたればなりと
10 “Now, behold, the LORD has kept me alive, as he spoke, these forty-five years, from the time that the LORD spoke this word to Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness. Now, behold, I am eighty-five years old, today.
ヱホバこの言をモーセに語りたまひし時より已來イスラエルが荒野に歩みたる此四十五年の間かく其のたまひし如く我を生存らへさせたまへり視よ我は今日すでに八十五歳なるが
11 As yet I am as strong today as I was in the day that Moses sent me. As my strength was then, even so is my strength now for war, to go out and to come in.
今日もなほモーセの我を遣はしたりし日のごとく健剛なり我が今の力はかの時の力のごとくにして出入し戰闘をなすに堪ふ
12 Now therefore give me this hill country, of which the LORD spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there, and great and fortified cities. It may be that the LORD will be with me, and I shall drive them out, as the LORD said.”
然ば彼日ヱホバの語りたまひし此山を我に與へよ汝も彼日聞たる如く彼處にはアナキ人をりその邑々は大にして堅固なり然ながらヱホバわれとともに在して我つひにヱホバの宣ひしごとく彼らを逐はらふことを得んと
13 Joshua blessed him; and he gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance.
ヨシユア、ヱフンネの子カレブを祝しヘブロンをこれに與へて產業となさしむ
14 Therefore Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day, because he followed the LORD, the God of Israel wholeheartedly.
是をもてヘブロンは今日までケニズ人ヱフンネの子カレブの產業となりをる是は彼まつたくイスラエルの神ヱホバに從がひたればなり
15 Now the name of Hebron before was Kiriath Arba, after the greatest man amongst the Anakim. Then the land had rest from war.
ヘブロンの名は元はキリアテアルバと曰ふアルバはアナキ人の中の最も大なる人なりき茲にいたりてその地に戰爭やみぬ
