Jozue 14
1 Nzokande, tala mabele oyo bana ya Isalaele bazwaki lokola libula kati na mokili ya Kanana; mabele oyo Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari; Jozue, mwana mobali ya Nuni, mpe bakambi ya bituka ya mabota ya bana ya Isalaele bakabolelaki bango.
And these are the countries which the children of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed for inheritance to them.
2 Bakabolelaki bango yango na nzela ya zeke, ndenge Yawe atindaki na nzela ya Moyize kati na mabota libwa mpe ndambo ya libota.
By lot was their inheritance, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half tribe.
3 Moyize apesaki epai ya mabota mibale mpe ndambo ya libota mabele na bango, na ngambo ya este ya Yordani; kasi epai ya bato ya libota ya Levi, apesaki mabele te kati na mabota mosusu;
For Moses had given the inheritance of two tribes and an half tribe on the other side Jordan: but unto the Levites he gave none inheritance among them.
4 pamba te bana mibali ya Jozefi, Manase mpe Efrayimi, bakomaki mabota mibale. Bato ya libota ya Levi bazwaki libula te kati na mokili longola kaka bingumba ya kovanda elongo na mabele na yango mpo na bibwele mpe biloko na bango.
For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim: therefore they gave no part unto the Levites in the land, save cities to dwell in, with their suburbs for their cattle and for their substance.
5 Boye, bana ya Isalaele bakabolaki mokili, ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki Moyize.
As the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did, and they divided the land.
6 Bato ya libota ya Yuda bayaki epai ya Jozue, na Giligali. Kalebi, mwana mobali ya Yefune, moto ya Kenizi, ayebisaki Jozue: « Oyebi malamu makambo oyo Yawe alobaki na Moyize, moto na Nzambe, na Kadeshi-Barinea na tina na yo mpe na tina na ngai.
Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite said unto him, You know the thing that the LORD said unto Moses the man of God concerning me and you in Kadeshbarnea.
7 Nazalaki nanu na mibu tuku minei tango Moyize, mowumbu na Yawe, atindaki ngai wuta na Kadeshi-Barinea mpo na kononga mokili. Mpe napesaki ye sango kolanda ndenge motema na ngai ezalaki kondima.
Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadeshbarnea to monitor out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in mine heart.
8 Bandeko na ngai, oyo tomataki na bango elongo balembisaki bato nzoto; nzokande ngai nalandaki bobele Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, na motema mobimba.
Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt: but I wholly followed the LORD my God.
9 Na mokolo wana, Moyize alapaki ndayi: ‹ Solo, nalapi ndayi ete mokili oyo matambe na yo esilaki konyata ekozala libula na yo mpe ya bakitani na yo mpo na libela, pamba te olandaki Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, na motema mobimba. ›
And Moses swore on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon your feet have trodden shall be your inheritance, and your children's for ever, because you have wholly followed the LORD my God.
10 Sik’oyo tala, eleki mibu tuku minei na mitano oyo Yawe abateli ngai na bomoi, wuta tango alobaki liloba oyo epai ya Moyize tango bana ya Isalaele bazalaki kotambola na esobe. Boye, ndenge nazali awa lelo, nakokisi mibu tuku mwambe na mitano ya mbotama,
And now, behold, the LORD has kept me alive, as he said, these forty and five years, even since the LORD spoke this word unto Moses, while the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness: and now, lo, I am this day fourscore and five years old.
11 mpe nazali na makasi lokola na tango oyo Moyize atindaki ngai; nazali na nguya ya kobunda bitumba ndenge kaka nazalaki na yango na kala.
As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, both to go out, and to come in.
12 Pesa ngai mokili ya bangomba wana oyo Yawe alakaki ngai na mokolo wana. Mokolo wana, yo moko oyokaki ete bato ya Anaki bazalaki kovanda kuna mpe bingumba na bango ezalaki minene mpe batonga makasi. Kasi na lisungi na Yawe, nakobengana bango ndenge Yawe alobaki. »
Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the LORD spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakims were there, and that the cities were great and fenced: if so be the LORD will be with me, then I shall be able to drive them out, as the LORD said.
13 Jozue apambolaki Kalebi, mwana mobali ya Yefune, mpe apesaki ye engumba Ebron lokola libula.
And Joshua blessed him, and gave unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh Hebron for an inheritance.
14 Boye, wuta na tango yango, engumba Ebron ekomaki libula ya Kalebi, mwana mobali ya Yefune, moto ya Kenizi; mpo ete alandaki Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, na motema mobimba.
Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this day, because that he wholly followed the LORD God of Israel.
15 Liboso, bazalaki kobenga Ebron « Kiriati-Ariba. » Ariba azalaki elombe oyo alekaki bato nyonso ya Anaki na makasi. Bongo, mokili ekomaki na kimia mpe bitumba ezalaki lisusu te.
And the name of Hebron before was Kirjatharba; which Arba was a great man among the Anakims. And the land had rest from war.
