Joshua 14

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 This is what the sons of Israel possessed in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar, the priest, and Joshua, the son of Nun, and the leaders of the families, by the tribes of Israel, gave to them,	1 فهذه هي التي امتلكها بنو اسرائيل في ارض كنعان التي ملكهم اياها العازار الكاهن ويشوع بن نون ورؤساء آباء اسباط بني اسرائيل.
2 dividing all by lot, just as the Lord had instructed by the hand of Moses, to the nine tribes and to the one half tribe.	2 نصيبهم بالقرعة كما امر الرب عن يد موسى للتسعة الاسباط ونصف السبط.
3 For to the two and one half tribes, Moses had given a possession beyond the Jordan, aside from the Levites, who received no land among their brothers.	3 لان موسى اعطى نصيب السبطين ونصف السبط في عبر الاردن. واما اللاويون فلم يعطهم نصيبا في وسطهم.
4 For by succession, the sons of Joseph, in their place, were divided into two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim. But the Levites did not receive another portion of land, except cities in which to live, and their suburbs, so as to feed their beasts of burden and cattle.	4 لان بني يوسف كانوا سبطين منسّى وافرايم. ولم يعطوا اللاويين قسما في الارض الا مدنا للسكن ومسارحها لمواشيهم ومقتناهم.
5 Just as the Lord had commanded Moses, so the sons of Israel did, and they divided the land.	5 كما امر الرب موسى هكذا فعل بنو اسرائيل وقسموا الارض.
6 And so, the sons of Judah approached Joshua at Gilgal. And Caleb, the son of Jephone, the Kenizzite, spoke to him: “You know what the Lord said to Moses, the man of God, at Kadesh-barnea, about me and you.	6 فتقدم بنو يهوذا الى يشوع في الجلجال وقال له كالب بن يفنّة القنزي. انت تعلم الكلام الذي كلم به الرب موسى رجل الله من جهتي ومن جهتك في قادش برنيع.
7 I was forty years old when Moses, the servant of the Lord, sent me from Kadesh-barnea, so that I might consider the land. And I reported to him what seemed to me to be true.	7 كنت ابن اربعين سنة حين ارسلني موسى عبد الرب من قادش برنيع لاتجسّس الارض. فرجعت اليه بكلام عما في قلبي.
8 But my brothers, who had ascended with me, broke the heart of the people. And I nevertheless followed the Lord my God.	8 واما اخوتي الذين صعدوا معي فاذابوا قلب الشعب. واما انا فاتبعت تماما الرب الهي.
9 And Moses swore, on that day, saying: ‘The land that your foot has tread upon shall be your possession, and that of your sons, unto eternity. For you have followed the Lord my God.’	9 فحلف موسى في ذلك اليوم قائلا ان الارض التي وطئتها رجلك لك تكون نصيبا ولاولادك الى الابد لانك اتبعت الرب الهي تماما.
10 Therefore, the Lord has granted life to me, just as he promised, even to the present day. It has been forty-five years since the Lord spoke this word to Moses, when Israel was wandering through the wilderness. Today, I am eighty-five years old,	10 والآن فها قد استحياني الرب كما تكلم هذه الخمس والاربعين سنة من حين كلم الرب موسى بهذا الكلام حين سار اسرائيل في القفر. والآن فها انا اليوم ابن خمس وثمانين سنة.
11 being just as strong as I was at that time, when I was sent to explore the land. The fortitude in me at that time continues even until today, as much to fight as to march.	11 فلم ازل اليوم متشددا كما في يوم ارسلني موسى. كما كانت قوتي حينئذ هكذا قوتي الآن للحرب وللخروج وللدخول.
12 Therefore, grant to me this mountain, which the Lord has promised in your hearing also, on which are the Anakim, and cities, great and fortified. Perhaps it may be that the Lord will be with me, and I will be able to destroy them, just as he promised to me.”	12 فالآن اعطني هذا الجبل الذي تكلم عنه الرب في ذلك اليوم. لانك انت سمعت في ذلك اليوم ان العناقيين هناك والمدن عظيمة محصّنة. لعل الرب معي فاطردهم كما تكلم الرب.
13 And Joshua blessed him, and he delivered Hebron to him as a possession.	13 فباركه يشوع واعطى حبرون لكالب بن يفنّة ملكا.
14 And from then on, Hebron was for Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, the Kenizzite, even to the present day. For he followed the Lord, the God of Israel.	14 لذلك صارت حبرون لكالب بن يفنّة القنزي ملكا الى هذا اليوم لانه اتبع تماما الرب اله اسرائيل.
15 Previously, the name Hebron was called Kiriath-Arba. Adam, the greatest among the Anakim, was laid there. And the land ceased from battles.	15 واسم حبرون قبلا قرية اربع الرجل الاعظم في العناقيين. واستراحت الارض من الحرب
