Josue 14
Magandang Balita Biblia (with Deuterocanon)
Ang Paghahati ng Canaan
14 Ang mga lipi ng Israel ay nakatanggap ng lupang pamana nang masakop nila ang Canaan. Ang paring si Eleazar at si Josue na anak ni Nun, katulong ang mga pinuno ng angkan ng bawat lipi, ang naghati ng lupain ng Canaan para sa mga Israelita. 2 Ang(A) paghahati ay isinagawa sa pamamagitan ng palabunutan, ayon sa utos ni Yahweh kay Moises. Siyam at kalahating lipi na lamang ang binigyan nila ng kani-kanilang bahagi sa lupain. 3 Ang(B) dalawang lipi at kalahati'y nabigyan na ni Moises ng kanilang bahagi sa silangan ng Jordan. Hindi rin kabilang sa siyam na lipi at kalahati ang mga Levita. 4 Hindi sila binigyan ng lupain. Sa halip, binigyan sila ng mga lunsod na matitirhan at mga kaparangan sa paligid para sa kanilang mga bakahan at mga kawan. Sa kabilang dako, ang mga nagmula sa lahi ni Jose ay pinagdalawang lipi: ang lipi ni Manases at ang lipi ni Efraim. 5 Pinaghati-hatian nga ng mga Israelita ang lupaing iyon ayon sa utos ni Yahweh kay Moises.
Ibinigay kay Caleb ang Hebron
6 Lumapit(C) noon kay Josue sa Gilgal ang ilan sa lipi ni Juda. Isa sa kanila si Caleb na anak ni Jefune, na mula sa angkan ng Cenizeo. Sinabi nito kay Josue, “Alam mo ang sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises na kanyang lingkod tungkol sa ating dalawa nang tayo'y nasa Kades-barnea. 7 Apatnapung(D) taon pa lamang ako noon. Isinugo niya tayo buhat sa Kades-barnea upang lihim na manmanan ang lupaing ito, at iniulat ko sa kanya ang buong katotohanan. 8 Kahit na ang bayan ay tinakot ng ibang kasama natin, buong katapatan pa rin akong sumunod kay Yahweh na ating Diyos. 9 Kaya't(E) ipinangako sa akin noon ni Moises na dahil sa aking buong katapatan sa pagsunod kay Yahweh, magiging bahagi ko at ng aking mga anak ang lupang matapakan ng aking mga paa. 10 Apatnapu't limang taon na ang lumipas buhat nang sabihin ito ni Yahweh kay Moises. Noo'y naglalakbay pa sa disyerto ang bayang Israel. Iningatan ni Yahweh ang buhay ko hanggang ngayon. Walumpu't limang taon na ako ngayon 11 ngunit hindi pa nagbabago ang lakas ko mula nang ako'y isugo ni Moises upang siyasatin ang lupaing ito. Kaya ko pang makipaglaban at gawin ang kahit anong trabaho. 12 Kaya ibigay mo na sa akin ang kaburulang ipinangako sa akin ni Yahweh. Narinig mo rin na mga higante ang nakatira doon at matitibay ang pader ng naglalakihan nilang lunsod. Ngunit sa tulong ni Yahweh ay palalayasin ko sila sa lupaing iyon gaya ng ipinangako niya.”
13 Binasbasan nga ni Josue si Caleb na anak ni Jefune, at ibinigay sa kanya ang Hebron. 14 Ang lupain ng Hebron ay nananatili hanggang ngayon sa angkan ni Caleb na anak ni Jefune, na isang Cenizeo, sapagkat buong katapatan siyang sumunod kay Yahweh, ang Diyos ng Israel. 15 Noong una'y Lunsod ng Arba ang pangalan ng Hebron, bilang alaala kay Arba, ang pinakadakila sa mga Anaceo.
At nagkaroon nga ng kapayapaan sa buong lupain.
Joshua 14
New King James Version
The Land Divided West of the Jordan
14 These are the areas which the children of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, (A)which Eleazar the priest, Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel distributed as an inheritance to them. 2 Their inheritance was (B)by lot, as the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes and the half-tribe. 3 (C)For Moses had given the inheritance of the two tribes and the half-tribe on the other side of the Jordan; but to the Levites he had given no inheritance among them. 4 For (D)the children of Joseph were two tribes: Manasseh and Ephraim. And they gave no part to the Levites in the land, except (E)cities to dwell in, with their common-lands for their livestock and their property. 5 (F)As the Lord had commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did; and they divided the land.
Caleb Inherits Hebron
6 Then the children of Judah came to Joshua in Gilgal. And Caleb the son of Jephunneh the (G)Kenizzite said to him: “You know (H)the word which the Lord said to Moses the man of God concerning (I)you and me in Kadesh Barnea. 7 I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the Lord (J)sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land, and I brought back word to him as it was in my heart. 8 Nevertheless (K)my brethren who went up with me made the [a]heart of the people melt, but I wholly (L)followed the Lord my God. 9 So Moses swore on that day, saying, (M)‘Surely the land (N)where your foot has trodden shall be your inheritance and your children’s forever, because you have wholly followed the Lord my God.’ 10 And now, behold, the Lord has kept me (O)alive, (P)as He said, these forty-five years, ever since the Lord spoke this word to Moses while Israel [b]wandered in the wilderness; and now, here I am this day, eighty-five years old. 11 (Q)As yet I am as strong this day as on the day that Moses sent me; just as my strength was then, so now is my strength for war, both (R)for going out and for coming in. 12 Now therefore, give me this mountain of which the Lord spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how (S)the Anakim were there, and that the cities were great and fortified. (T)It may be that the Lord will be with me, and (U)I shall be able to drive them out as the Lord said.”
13 And Joshua (V)blessed him, (W)and gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh as an inheritance. 14 (X)Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day, because he (Y)wholly followed the Lord God of Israel. 15 And (Z)the name of Hebron formerly was Kirjath Arba (Arba was the greatest man among the Anakim).
(AA)Then the land had rest from war.

Summary of Allocations
14 This is what the Israelis inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, Nun’s son Joshua, and the heads of the families of the Israelis allotted to them as an inheritance 2 by lot, just as the Lord commanded through Moses for the nine tribes and the half-tribe, 3 since Moses had given the inheritance of the two tribes and the half-tribe across the Jordan River. However, he did not give an inheritance to the descendants of Levi who lived among them, 4 since the descendants of Joseph constituted two tribes—Manasseh and Ephraim. They did not allot a portion to the descendants of Levi in the land, since they were given[a] cities to live in, along with pastures for their livestock and property. 5 So the Israelis did just as the Lord had commanded Moses—they divided the land.
Caleb’s Request(A)
6 After this, the descendants of Judah approached Joshua in Gilgal. Jephunneh the Kenizzite’s son Caleb told him, “You know the promise that the Lord gave Moses the man of God concerning the two of us in Kadesh-barnea. 7 I was 40 years old when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Kadesh-barnea to scout the land. I brought back an honest report[b] to him. 8 As it happened, my fellow Israelis who went up with me terrified the people, but I fully followed the Lord my God. 9 Moses made a promise to me on that day when he said, ‘The land that you covered on foot will certainly be your inheritance. It will belong to your descendants forever, because you have fully followed the Lord my God.’
10 “Look how[c] the Lord has let me survive, as you can see, these 45 years since the time when the Lord said this through Moses, while Israel was wandering through the wilderness. And look! I’m here today—my eighty-fifth birthday! 11 I’m still as strong today as I was the day Moses commissioned me. I’m as strong today as I was then, and I can go out to battle and come back successful. 12 Now then, give me that hill country about which the Lord spoke back on that day, because you yourself heard back then that the Anakim[d] were there, with great reinforced cities. Perhaps the Lord will be with me and I will expel them, just as the Lord said.”
13 So Joshua blessed him and gave Hebron to Jephunneh’s son Caleb for his inheritance. 14 Therefore Hebron became the inheritance of Jephunneh the Kenizzite’s son Caleb, and it remains so today, because he fully followed the Lord God of Israel. 15 Hebron used to be known as Kiriath-arba, after the greatest man among the Anakim.[e] After all of this, the land enjoyed rest from war.
