Joshua 14

1 Pa inge acn ma mwet tol Eleazar, ac Joshua wen natul Nun, ac mwet kol lun kais sie sou elos kitalik nu sin sruf lun mwet Israel tuh in ma lalos. Acn inge oan Canaan, lefahl roto in Infacl Jordan.

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 Kitakatelik lun acn inge nu sin sruf eu tafu lefahl roto in Infacl Jordan orekla ke fa, oana ma LEUM GOD El tuh sapkin nu sel Moses.

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 Moses el nuna sang tari lefahl kutulap in Infacl Jordan nu sin sruf luo tafu, tusruktu wangin acn el sang nu sin sruf lal Levi.

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 Tulik natul Joseph tuh kitakatelik nu ke sruf luo — Manasseh ac Ephraim. A tulik natul Levi tuh tia wi eis acn, sayen acn in muta ac acn in tohf kosro natulos.

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 Ouinge mwet Israel elos tuh kitalik acn uh oana ma LEUM GOD El tuh sapkin nu sel Moses.

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

6 Sie len ah kutu mwet ke sruf lal Judah elos tuku nu yorol Joshua nu in acn Gilgal. Sie selos pa Caleb, wen natul Jephunneh mwet Keniz. El fahk nu sel Joshua, “Kom etu tari ma LEUM GOD El tuh fahk nu sel Moses in acn Kadesh Barnea keiktal.

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 Nga yac angngaul ke pacl se Moses, mwet kulansap lun LEUM GOD, El tuh supweyu Kadesh Barnea lac in kalngei facl se inge. Ke nga tuh foloko nga fahkak nufon nunak luk ke ma nga tuh liye we ah.

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 Tusruktu mwet ma tuh wiyu som ah, elos tuh fahk na kas in akmunasye nunak lun mwet ah. Ne ouinge, nga tuh tu na ku ke lulalfongi luk in LEUM GOD luk.

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

9 Ke sripa se inge Moses el tuh wulela mu acn nukewa nga fahla fac, ac fah ma luk ac tulik nutik.

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 Inge yac akangngaul limekosr lac tukun pacl se LEUM GOD El tuh fahk ma inge nu sel Moses. In pacl sac mwet Israel elos srakna fufahsryesr yen mwesis. Na LEUM GOD El sruokya moul luk oana el tuh wulela, ac liye, misenge nga yac oalngoul limekosr.

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 Nga srakna ku misenge, oapana nga tuh ku ke pacl se Moses el tuh supweyula ah. Nga srakna ku in mweun ku oru kutena ma.

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 Ke ma inge, ase nu sik acn fineol uh, oana ke LEUM GOD El tuh wulema nu sik ke len se nga ac mwet wiyu tuh fahkak ke ma kut liye ah. Kut tuh fahk nu sum lah mwet na yohk pisa ac ku, pangpang mwet Anakim, elos muta we, ac siti selos arulana yohk ac kuhlusyukyak. Sahp LEUM GOD El ac fah wiyu, ac nga fah ku in ukwalosyak oana ke LEUM GOD El tuh fahk ah.”

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 Joshua el akinsewowoyal Caleb, wen natul Jephunneh, ac sang siti Hebron tuh in ma lal.

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

14 Siti se inge srakna ma lun tulik natul Caleb, wen natul Jephunneh su mwet Keniz, mweyen Caleb el tuh tu na ku ke lulalfongi lal in LEUM GOD lun Israel.

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 Tuh pangpang acn se inge siti sel Arba meet liki itukyang lal Caleb. (Arba pa mwet se pwengpeng emeet sin mwet Anakim.) Na acn we mongla liki mweun.

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