Josué 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, 2 by the lot of their inheritance, as Yahweh commanded by Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half-tribe. 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 among them. 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. 5 The children of Israel did as Yahweh commanded Moses, and they divided the land.

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 Yahweh spoke to Moses the man of God concerning me and concerning you in Kadesh Barnea. 7 I was forty years old when Moses the servant of Yahweh sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land. I brought him word again as it was in my heart. 8 Nevertheless, my brothers who went up with me made the heart of the people melt; but I wholly followed Yahweh my God. 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 Yahweh my God.’

10 "Now, behold, Yahweh has kept me alive, as he spoke, these forty-five years, from the time that Yahweh spoke this word to Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness. Now, behold, I am eighty-five years old, today. 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. 12 Now therefore give me this hill country, of which Yahweh spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there, and great and fortified cities. It may be that Yahweh will be with me, and I shall drive them out, as Yahweh said."

13 Joshua blessed him; and he gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance. 14 Therefore Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day, because he followed Yahweh, the God of Israel wholeheartedly. 15 Now the name of Hebron before was Kiriath Arba, after the greatest man among the Anakim. Then the land had rest from war.

Te Wehenga o te Whenua i te Uru o Horano

1 Ā, ko ngā wāhi ēnei i riro i ngā tama a Īharaira i te whenua o Kanaana, i tuwhaina nei e Ereātara tohunga, e Hohua tama a Nunu, e ngā upoko hoki o ngā whare o ngā mātua o ngā iwi o ngā tama a Īharaira mō rātou. 2 He mea rota ō rātou wāhi, he mea pērā me tā Ihowā whakahau i whakapuakina e Mohi, mō ngā iwi e iwa me tētahi tānga hoki o tētahi iwi. 3 Kua hoatu hoki e Mohi he wāhi mō ngā iwi e rua, mō tētahi tānga hoki o tētahi iwi i tāwāhi o Horano; otiia kīhai i hoatu i roto i a rātou tētahi wāhi mō ngā Rīwaiti. 4 E rua hoki ngā iwi o ngā tama a Hōhepa, ko Mānahi rāua ko Ēparaima; ā, kīhai i hoatu e rātou tētahi wāhi o te whenua mō ngā Rīwaiti, heoi anō ko ngā pā hei nohoanga, me ngā wāhi o waho ā tawhio noa, mō ā rātou kararehe, mō ā rātou mea. 5 Rite tonu ki tā Ihowā i whakahau ai ki a Mohi tā ngā tama a Īharaira i mea ai, ā, wehewehea ana e rātou te whenua.

Ka Whakaratoa a Heperona ki a Karepe

6 Kātahi ka whakatata ngā tama a Hūrā ki a Hohua i Kirikara; ā, ka mea a Karepe tama a Iepune Keniti ki a ia, "E mōhio ana koe ki te kupu i kōrerotia e Ihowā ki a Mohi, ki te tangata a te Atua, mōku, a mōu hoki, i Karehepārenea. 7 E whā tekau ōku tau i te tononga a Mohi, a te pononga a te Atua i ahau i Karehepārenea ki te tūtei i te whenua; ā, i whakahokia e ahau he kōrero ki a ia, ko ngā mea o roto o tōku ngākau. 8 Ā, ko ōku tēina i haere tahi nei mātou ki runga, nā, ngohe ana i a rātou ngā ngākau o te iwi; ko ahau ia, i pau katoa atu ahau ki te whai i a Ihowā, i tōku Atua. 9 Nā, ko te oatitanga mai a Mohi i taua rā, ko te meatanga, ‘Ko taua whenua i takahia nā e ōu waewae, he pono mōu pū hei kāinga tupu, mō āu tamariki hoki ake ake; mōu i whakapau ki te whai i a Ihowā, i tōku Atua.’

10 "Heoi ināianei kua whakaora a Ihowā i ahau, kua pērā me tāna i kōrero ai, ka whā tekau mā rima ēnei tau, mai o te kōrerotanga a Ihowā i tēnei kupu ki a Mohi, i a Īharaira e hāereere ana i te koraha; nā, ināianei, ka waru tekau mā rima ōku tau. 11 Kei te kaha tonu ahau i tēnei rā, pērā anō i te rā i tonoa ai ahau e Mohi; ko tōku kaha i reira koia anō tōku kaha ināianei mō te whawhai, mō te haere atu, mō te haere mai. 12 Nō reira, hōmai ki ahau tēnei maunga, ko tā Ihowā hoki i kōrero ai i taua rā; i rongo rā hoki koe i taua rā kei reira ngā Anakimi, me ngā pā nunui, taiepa rawa; tērā pea e tata mai a Ihowā ki ahau, ā, ka peia rātou e ahau, ā, ka pērātia me tā Ihowā i kōrero ai."

13 Nā, ka manaakitia ia e Hohua; ā, hoatu ana e ia a Heperona ki a Karepe tama a Iepune hei kāinga tupu. 14 Koia i waiho ai a Heperona hei kāinga tupu mō Karepe, mō te tama a Iepune Keniti, ā mohoa noa nei; mōna i whakapau ki te whai i a Ihowā, i te Atua o Īharaira. 15 (Nā, ko te ingoa o Heperona i mua ko Kiriata Arapa; ko taua Arapa hoki te tangata tino nui i roto i ngā Anakimi.)

Heoi, takoto kau ana te whenua i te whawhai.
