¹Ndidzo nhaka dzakagamuchirwa navana vaIsiraeri panyika yeKanani, dzavakagoverwa nomupristi Ereazari, naJoshua mwanakomana waNuni, navakuru vedzimba dzamadzibaba amarudzi avana vaIsiraeri.

¹And these are the inheritances which the children of Israel took in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers' [houses] of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed unto them,

²Vakagoverwa nhaka yavo nemijenya, sezvavakarairwa naJehovha nomuromo waMozisi, nhaka yamarudzi mapfumbamwe nehafu.

²by the lot of their inheritance, as Jehovah commanded by Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half-tribe.

³nekuti Mozisi wakange apa marudzi maviri nehafu nhaka yavo mhiri kwaJoridhani; asi vaRevhi haana kuvapa nhaka pakati pavo.

³For Moses had given the inheritance of the two tribes and the half-tribe beyond the Jordan: but unto the Levites he gave no inheritance among them.

⁴Nekuti vana vaJosefa vakange vana marudzi maviri; rwaManase norwaEfuremu; havana kupa vaRevhi mugove munyika iyo, asi maguta mavangagara, namafuro awo emombe dzavo nefuma yavo.

⁴For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim: and they gave no portion unto the Levites in the land, save cities to dwell in, with the suburbs thereof for their cattle and for their substance.

⁵Vana vaIsiraeri vakaita sezvakarairwa Mozisi naJehovha, vakakamura nyika.

⁵As Jehovah commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did; and they divided the land.

⁶Zvino vana vaJudha vakaswedera kuna Joshua paGirigari, Karebhu mwanakomana waJefune, muKenizi, akati kwaari, Unoziva shoko rakataurwa naJehovha kuna Mozisi munhu waMwari, pamusoro pangu napamusoro pako, paKadheshi-bharinea.

⁶Then the children of Judah drew nigh unto Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said unto him, Thou knowest the thing that Jehovah spake unto Moses the man of God concerning me and concerning thee in Kadesh-barnea.

⁷Ini ndakanga ndasvika makore ana makumi mana nguva yandakatumwa naMozisi muranda waJehovha paKadheshi-bhanea kundoshora nyika, ndikadzoka neshoko kwaari sezvandakafunga ini.

⁷Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of Jehovah sent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in my heart.

⁸Asi hama dzangu dzakanga dzakwira neni dzakaodza moyo yavanhu; asi ini ndakatevera Jehovha Mwari wangu nomoyo wose.

⁸Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt; but I wholly followed Jehovah my God.

⁹Mozisi akapika nomusi uyo, akati, Zvirokwazvo, nyika yakatsikwa norutsoka rwako, ichava nhaka yako neyavana vako nokusingaperi, nekuti wakatevera Jehovha Mwari wangu nomoyo wako wose.

⁹And Moses sware on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon thy foot hath trodden shall be an inheritance to thee and to thy children for ever, because thou hast wholly followed Jehovah my God.

¹⁰Zvino tarira, Jehovha wakandichengeta ndiri mupenyu, sezvaakataura, makore ano ana makumi mana namashanu kubva panguva Jehovha yaakataura shoko iri kuna Mozisi, vaIsiraeri vachafamba murenje; zvino, tarira, nhasi ndava namakore ana makumi masere namashanu.

¹⁰And now, behold, Jehovah hath kept me alive, as he spake, these forty and five years, from the time that Jehovah spake this word unto Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness: and now, lo, I am this day fourscore and five years old.

¹¹Kunyange zvakadaro, nanhasi ndichine simba sezvandakanga ndakaita nomusi wandakatumwa naMozisi; sezvarakanga rakaita musi iwoyo, ndizvo zvakaita simba rangu nanhasi, kana rokurwa kana kubuda kana kupinda.

¹¹As yet I am as strong this day as I as in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, and to go out and to come in.

¹²Naizvozvo zvino chindipa nyika, nyika iyi yamakomo, yakarehwa naJehovha musi iwoyo; nekuti nomusi iwoyo wakanzwa iwe kuti vaAnaki vakanga varipo namaguta makuru ana masvingo; zvimwe Jehovha uchava neni, ndikagona kuvadzinga, sezvakataurwa naJehovha.

¹²Now therefore give me this hill-country, whereof Jehovah spake in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakim were there, and cities great and fortified: it may be that Jehovah will be with me, and I shall drive them out, as Jehovah spake.

¹³Ipapo Joshua akamuropafadza, akapa Karebhu mwanakomana waJefune Hebhuroni, ive nhaka yake.

¹³And Joshua blessed him; and he gave Hebron unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance.

¹⁴Naizvozvo Hebhuroni rakazova nhaka yaKarebhu mwanakomana waJefune, muKenizi, kusvikira nhasi; nekuti wakange atevera Jehovha Mwari waIsiraeri nomoyo wake wose.

¹⁴Therefore Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite unto this day; because that he wholly followed Jehovah, the God of Israel.

¹⁵Zita reHebhuroni pakutanga rakanga riri Kiriati-aribha; iye Aribha wakange ari munhu mukuru pakati pavaAnaki vose. Ipapo nyika ikazorora pakurwa.

¹⁵Now the name of Hebron beforetime was Kiriath-arba; [which Arba was] the greatest man among the Anakim. And the land had rest from war.
