ヨシュア記 14

1 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

This is what the sons of Israel possessed in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar, the priest, and Joshua, the son of Nun, and the leaders of the families, by the tribes of Israel, gave to them,

2 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

dividing all by lot, just as the Lord had instructed by the hand of Moses, to the nine tribes and to the one half tribe.

3 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

For to the two and one half tribes, Moses had given a possession beyond the Jordan, aside from the Levites, who received no land among their brothers.

4 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

For by succession, the sons of Joseph, in their place, were divided into two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim. But the Levites did not receive another portion of land, except cities in which to live, and their suburbs, so as to feed their beasts of burden and cattle.

5 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

Just as the Lord had commanded Moses, so the sons of Israel did, and they divided the land.

6 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

And so, the sons of Judah approached Joshua at Gilgal. And Caleb, the son of Jephone, the Kenizzite, spoke to him: “You know what the Lord said to Moses, the man of God, at Kadesh-barnea, about me and you.

7 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

I was forty years old when Moses, the servant of the Lord, sent me from Kadesh-barnea, so that I might consider the land. And I reported to him what seemed to me to be true.

8 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

But my brothers, who had ascended with me, broke the heart of the people. And I nevertheless followed the Lord my God.

9 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

And Moses swore, on that day, saying: ‘The land that your foot has tread upon shall be your possession, and that of your sons, unto eternity. For you have followed the Lord my God.’

10 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

Therefore, the Lord has granted life to me, just as he promised, even to the present day. It has been forty-five years since the Lord spoke this word to Moses, when Israel was wandering through the wilderness. Today, I am eighty-five years old,

11 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

being just as strong as I was at that time, when I was sent to explore the land. The fortitude in me at that time continues even until today, as much to fight as to march.

12 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

Therefore, grant to me this mountain, which the Lord has promised in your hearing also, on which are the Anakim, and cities, great and fortified. Perhaps it may be that the Lord will be with me, and I will be able to destroy them, just as he promised to me.”

13 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

And Joshua blessed him, and he delivered Hebron to him as a possession.

14 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

And from then on, Hebron was for Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, the Kenizzite, even to the present day. For he followed the Lord, the God of Israel.

15 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

Previously, the name Hebron was called Kiriath-Arba. Adam, the greatest among the Anakim, was laid there. And the land ceased from battles.
