约书亚记 14
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
约旦河西土地的分配
14 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 是照耶和华给摩西的指示,用抽签的方式分给九个半支派的。 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 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,还有城郊可以牧养牲畜,安置财物。 5 以色列人照耶和华给摩西的指示分配这些土地。
迦勒分得希伯仑
6 那时,犹大支派的人来到吉甲见约书亚,其中有基尼洗族耶孚尼的儿子迦勒。他对约书亚说:“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 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 与我同去的弟兄的禀告令以色列人胆战心惊,但我忠心地追随我的上帝耶和华。 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,因为你忠心地追随我的上帝耶和华。’ 10 耶和华照祂的应许,让我又活了四十五年,这些日子都是跟以色列人在旷野一起度过的。看!我现在已经八十五岁了, 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 现在,求你照耶和华当日向我应许的,把这山区赐给我。你亲耳听到那里有亚衲人,他们的城池高大坚固。但如果耶和华与我同在,我必照着祂的应许把这些人赶走。”
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 所以,希伯仑至今仍是基尼洗族耶孚尼的儿子迦勒的产业,因为他忠心地追随以色列的上帝耶和华。 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。
Joshua 14
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
14 These are the inheritances in the land of Canaan distributed to the Israelites by Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers’ houses of their tribes.
2 Their inheritance was by lot, as the Lord commanded Moses, for the nine and one-half tribes.
3 For Moses had given an inheritance to the two and one-half tribes beyond the Jordan, but to the Levites he gave no inheritance among them,
4 For the people of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim. And no part was given in the land to the Levites except cities in which to live, with their pasturelands for their livestock and for their possessions.
5 As the Lord commanded Moses, so the Israelites did, and they divided the land.
6 Then the people of Judah came to Joshua in Gilgal, and Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, You know what the Lord said to Moses the man of God concerning me and you in Kadesh-barnea.
7 Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Kadesh-barnea to scout out the land. And I brought him a report as it was in my heart.
8 But my brethren who went up with me made the hearts of the people melt; yet I wholly followed the Lord my God.
9 And Moses swore on that day, Surely the land on which your feet have walked shall be an inheritance to you and your children always, because you have wholly followed the Lord my God.(A)
10 And now, behold, the Lord has kept me alive, as He said, these forty-five years since the Lord spoke this word to Moses, while the Israelites wandered in the wilderness; and now, behold, I am this day eighty-five years old.
11 Yet I am as strong today as I was the day Moses sent me; as my strength was then, so is my strength now for war and to go out and to come in.
12 So now give me this hill country of which the Lord spoke that day. For you heard then how the [giantlike] Anakim were there and that the cities were great and fortified; if the Lord will be with me, I shall drive them out just as the Lord said.
13 Then Joshua blessed him and gave Hebron to Caleb son of Jephunneh for an inheritance.
14 So Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day, because he wholly followed the Lord, the God of Israel.
15 The name of Hebron before was Kiriath-arba [city of Arba]. This Arba was the greatest of the Anakim. And the land had rest from war.
