Joshua 14

1 Now these are the portions that the Israelites inherited in the land of Canaan, as distributed by Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the families of the tribes of Israel.

1 以下是祭司以利亚撒、嫩的儿子约书亚和以色列各支派的首领在迦南分给以色列人的产业，

2 Their inheritance was assigned by lot for the nine and a half tribes, as the LORD had commanded through Moses.

2 是照耶和华借摩西所指示的，用抽签的方式分给九个半支派的。

3 For Moses had given the inheritance east of the Jordan to the other two and a half tribes. But he granted no inheritance among them to the Levites.

3 摩西在约旦河东已经把产业分给了吕便、迦得支派和玛拿西半个支派，只是没有把产业分给利未人。

4 The descendants of Joseph became two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim. And no portion of the land was given to the Levites, except for cities in which to live, along with pasturelands for their flocks and herds.

4 约瑟的子孙已分为玛拿西和以法莲两个支派。利未人没有分到地，但有城邑居住，还有草场可以牧养牲畜，安置财物。

5 So the Israelites did as the LORD had commanded Moses, and they divided the land.

5 以色列人照耶和华给摩西的指示分配这些土地。

6 Then the sons of Judah approached Joshua at Gilgal, and Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, “You know what the LORD said to Moses the man of God at Kadesh-barnea about you and me.

6 那时，犹大支派的人来到吉甲见约书亚，基尼洗族耶孚尼的儿子迦勒对约书亚说：“你知道耶和华在加低斯·巴尼亚跟上帝的仆人摩西提到关于你和我的事。

7 I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land, and I brought back to him an honest report.

7 我四十岁那年，耶和华的仆人摩西从加低斯·巴尼亚派我来侦察这地方，我如实禀告他。

8 Although my brothers who went with me made the hearts of the people melt with fear, I remained loyal to the LORD my God.

8 与我同去的弟兄的禀告让以色列人胆战心惊，但我一心追随我的上帝耶和华。

9 On that day Moses swore to me, saying, ‘Surely the land on which you have set foot will be an inheritance to you and your children forever, because you have wholly followed the LORD my God.’

9 所以，当日摩西就向我起誓，‘你脚踏过的地方必永远归你和你的子孙作产业，因为你一心追随我的上帝耶和华。’

10 Now behold, as the LORD promised, He has kept me alive these forty-five years since He spoke this word to Moses, while Israel wandered in the wilderness. So here I am today, eighty-five years old,

10 耶和华照祂的应许，让我又活了四十五年。当年耶和华对摩西说这话时，以色列人还在旷野漂流。看！我现在已经八十五岁了，

11 still as strong today as I was the day Moses sent me out. As my strength was then, so it is now for war, for going out, and for coming in.

11 仍像当年摩西派我出去时那样身强力壮，跟当年一样能征善战。

12 Now therefore give me this hill country that the LORD promised me on that day, for you yourself heard then that the Anakim were there, with great and fortified cities. Perhaps with the LORD’s help I will drive them out, as the LORD has spoken.”

12 现在，求你照耶和华当日向我应许的，把这山区赐给我。你当日亲耳听到那里有亚衲人，他们的城池高大坚固。但只要耶和华与我同在，我必照着祂的应许把这些人赶走。”

13 Then Joshua blessed Caleb son of Jephunneh and gave him Hebron as his inheritance.

13 于是，约书亚便祝福耶孚尼的儿子迦勒，把希伯仑给他，作为他的产业。

14 Therefore Hebron belongs to Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite as an inheritance to this day, because he wholly followed the LORD, the God of Israel.

14 所以，希伯仑至今仍是基尼洗族耶孚尼的儿子迦勒的产业，因为他一心追随以色列的上帝耶和华。

15 (Hebron used to be called Kiriath-arba, after Arba, the greatest man among the Anakim.) Then the land had rest from war.

15 希伯仑从前名叫基列·亚巴，亚巴原是亚衲族中最伟大的人。从此，境内太平，没有战争。
