Ang Pagbahin sa Yuta sa Kasadpan sa Jordan

14 Mao kini ang pagbahin-bahin sa uban pang kayutaan sa Canaan nga napanunod sa mga Israelinhon. Si Eleazar nga pari, Josue nga anak ni Nun, ug ang mga pangulo sa matag tribo sa Israel ang nagbahin niini. Sumala sa gisugo sa Ginoo kang Moises, ang kayutaan sa siyam ug tunga ka mga tribo gibahin-bahin pinaagi sa pagripa. 3-4 Gihatagan na ni Moises ang duha ug tunga ka mga tribo sa ilang panulondon didto sa sidlakang bahin sa Jordan. Wala niya hatagig bahin ang mga kaliwat ni Levi, apan gihatagan niya silag mga lungsod nga ilang kapuy-an ug mga pasibsiban alang sa ilang mga kahayopan. Ang kaliwat ni Jose gibahin sa duha ka tribo—ang tribo ni Manase ug ang tribo ni Efraim. Ingon niana ang pagbahin sa kayutaan sa mga Israelinhon sumala sa gisugo sa Ginoo kang Moises.

Gihatag kang Caleb ang Hebron

Miadto kang Josue sa Gilgal ang pipila ka tawo sa tribo ni Juda. Usa kanila mao si Caleb nga anak ni Jefune nga Kenisihanon. Miingon siya kang Josue, “Nahinumdom ka pa ba sa giingon sa Ginoo kang Moises nga alagad sa Dios mahitungod kanatong duha sa dihang didto pa kita sa Kadesh Barnea? Nagaedad pa lang ako niadto ug 40 ka tuig sa dihang gipadala ako ni Moises gikan sa Kadesh Barnea aron sa pagpang-espiya sa yuta sa Canaan. Ug sa akong pagbalik, gisulti ko kaniya ang tanan kong nakita. Apan gihadlok sa akong mga kauban ang atong mga isigka-Israelinhon. Apan ako, matinumanon nga nagsunod sa Ginoo nga akong Dios. Busa misaad si Moises kanako niadtong adlawa nga nagaingon, ‘Tungod kay matinumanon ka nga nagsunod sa Ginoo nga akong Dios, mapanag-iya mo ug sa imong mga kaliwat ang yuta nga imong naadtoan sa imong pagpang-espiya.’

10 “45 na ka tuig ang milabay sukad kadto isulti sa Ginoo kang Moises. Nagalakaw pa niadto ang mga Israelinhon sa kamingawan. Ug karon, 85 na ka tuig ako, ug buhi pa gihapon pinaagi sa tabang sa Ginoo ug sumala sa iyang gisaad; 11 ug ang akong kusog sama pa gihapon niadtong panahon nga gisugo ako ni Moises. Makahimo pa gihapon ako sa pagpakiggira sama kaniadto. 12 Busa ihatag kanako kining kabukiran nga gisaad kanako sa Ginoo. Ikaw mismo nakadungog kaniadto nga ang mga kaliwat ni Anak nagapuyo didto, ug lig-on ang ilang mga lungsod nga may mga paril. Apan pinaagi sa tabang sa Ginoo abugon ko sila nianang yutaa sumala sa gisaad niya kanako.”

13 Gipanalanginan ni Josue si Caleb nga anak ni Jefune, ug gihatag kaniya ang Hebron isip iyang panulondon. 14 Busa hangtod karon, ang Hebron iya sa mga kaliwat ni Caleb nga anak ni Jefune nga Kenisihanon tungod kay matinumanon nga gituman ni Caleb ang Ginoo nga Dios sa Israel. 15 Kaniadto, Kiriat Arba ang ngalan sa Hebron, isip handomanan kang Arba, ang labing inilang kaliwat ni Anak.

Niining higayona naundang na ang gira sa yuta sa mga Israelinhon.

The Inheritance West of the Jordan

14 These are the inheritances that the people of Israel received in the land of Canaan, which (A)Eleazar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun and the heads of the fathers' houses of the tribes of the people of Israel gave them to inherit. Their inheritance was (B)by lot, just as the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses for the nine and one-half tribes. (C)For Moses had given an inheritance to the two and one-half tribes beyond the Jordan, (D)but to the Levites he gave no inheritance among them. For (E)the people of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim. And no portion was given to the Levites in the land, but only cities to dwell in, with their pasturelands for their livestock and their substance. The people of Israel did (F)as the Lord commanded Moses; they allotted the land.

Caleb's Request and Inheritance

Then the people of Judah came to Joshua at Gilgal. And Caleb the son of Jephunneh the (G)Kenizzite said to him, “You know (H)what the Lord said to Moses the man of God in Kadesh-barnea concerning you and me. I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the Lord (I)sent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land, and I brought him word again as it was in my heart. But (J)my brothers who went up with me made the heart of the people melt; yet I wholly followed the Lord my God. And Moses swore on that day, saying, (K)‘Surely the land (L)on which your foot has trodden shall be an inheritance for you and your children forever, because you have wholly followed the Lord my God.’ 10 And now, behold, the Lord has kept me alive, (M)just as he said, these (N)forty-five years since the time that the Lord spoke this word to Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness. And now, behold, I am this day (O)eighty-five years old. 11 (P)I am still as strong today as I was in the day that Moses sent me; my strength now is as my strength was then, for war and (Q)for going and coming. 12 So now give me this hill country of which the Lord spoke on that day, for you heard on that day how the (R)Anakim were there, with great fortified cities. It may be that the Lord will be with me, and I shall drive them out just as the Lord said.”

13 Then Joshua (S)blessed him, and he gave (T)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, (U)because he wholly followed the Lord, the God of Israel. 15 (V)Now the name of Hebron formerly was Kiriath-arba.[a] (Arba[b] was the greatest man among the Anakim.) (W)And the land had rest from war.

The Inheritance Beyond the Jordan

14 Now these are the territories which the sons of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, which (A)Eleazar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun and the heads of the [a]households of the tribes of the sons of Israel apportioned to them for an inheritance, by the (B)lot of their inheritance, as Yahweh commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes and the half-tribe. For (C)Moses had given the inheritance of the two tribes and the half-tribe beyond the Jordan; but (D)he did not give an inheritance to the Levites among them. For the sons of Joseph were two tribes, (E)Manasseh and Ephraim, and they did not give a portion to the Levites in the land, except cities to live in, with their pasture lands for their livestock and for their property. Thus the sons of Israel did just (F)as Yahweh had commanded Moses, and they divided the land.

Caleb’s Inheritance

Then the sons of Judah drew near to Joshua in Gilgal, and (G)Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, “You know the word which Yahweh spoke to Moses the man of God concerning [b]you and me in Kadesh-barnea. I was forty years old when (H)Moses the servant of Yahweh sent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land, and I brought word back to him as it was in my heart. Nevertheless, my brothers who went up with me made the heart of the people [c]melt with fear; but (I)I followed Yahweh my God fully. So Moses swore on that day, saying, ‘Surely (J)the land on which your foot has trodden will be an inheritance to you and to your children forever because you have followed Yahweh my God fully.’ 10 So now behold, Yahweh has let me live, just as He spoke, these forty-five years, from the time that Yahweh spoke this word to Moses, when Israel walked in the wilderness; so now behold, I am eighty-five years old today. 11 (K)I am still as strong today as I was in the day Moses sent me; as my strength was then, so my strength is now, for war and for (L)going out and coming in. 12 So now, give me this hill country about which Yahweh spoke on that day, for you heard on that day that (M)Anakim were there, with great fortified cities; perhaps Yahweh will be with me, and I will dispossess them as Yahweh has spoken.”

13 So Joshua (N)blessed him and (O)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 until this day because he fully followed Yahweh, the God of Israel. 15 Now the name of Hebron was formerly [d]Kiriath-arba; for Arba was the greatest man among the Anakim. (P)Then the land was quiet from war.
