¹These are the inheritances which the children of Israel took in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed to them,

¹Te pa so dediščine, ki so jih dobili sinovi Izraelovi v Kanaanski deželi, ki so jih jim porazdelili Eleazar duhovnik in Jozue, sin Nunov, in poglavarji očetovinam vseh rodov Izraelovih sinov;

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

²po žrebanju so jim pridelili dediščino, kakor je GOSPOD zapovedal po Mojzesu, devetim rodom in polovici rodu.

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

³Dvema rodoma in polovici rodu je namreč Mojzes dal dediščino na oni strani Jordana. Levitom pa ni dal dediščine med njimi nobene.

⁴For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim: and they gave no portion to the Levites in the land, except cities to dwell in, with their suburbs for their livestock and for their property.

⁴Kajti Jožefovih sinov sta bila dva roda, Manase in Efraim; in levitom niso dali deleža v deželi, samo mesta za prebivanje in pašnike okoli njih njih živini in njih blagu.

⁵The children of Israel did as Yahweh commanded Moses, and they divided the land.

⁵Kakor je bil GOSPOD zapovedal Mojzesu, tako so storili Izraelovi sinovi in so razdelili deželo.

⁶Then the children of Judah drew near to Joshua in Gilgal. Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, “You know the thing that Yahweh spoke to Moses the man of God concerning me and concerning you in Kadesh Barnea.

⁶Tedaj pristopijo Judovi sinovi k Jozuetu v Gilgalu, in Kaleb, sin Jefunov, Kenizejec, ga ogovori: Ti veš, kar je rekel GOSPOD Mojzesu, možu Božjemu, zastran mene in tebe v Kades-barnei.

⁷I was forty years old when Moses the servant of Yahweh sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land. I brought him word again as it was in my heart.

⁷Štirideset let sem bil star, ko me je poslal Mojzes, služabnik GOSPODOV, iz Kades-barnee ogledovat deželo; in prinesel sem mu poročilo, kakor mi je bilo pri srcu.

⁸Nevertheless, my brothers who went up with me made the heart of the people melt; but I wholly followed Yahweh my God.

⁸Toda moji bratje, ki so šli gori z menoj, so ljudstvu v obup zapeljali srce, jaz pa sem zvesto hodil za GOSPODOM, Bogom svojim.

⁹Moses swore on that day, saying, ‘Surely the land where you walked shall be an inheritance to you and to your children forever, because you have wholly followed Yahweh my God.’

⁹In Mojzes je prisegel tisti dan, rekoč: Gotovo bode dežela, po kateri je stopala tvoja noga, tebi in tvojim otrokom dediščina vekomaj, ker si zvesto hodil za GOSPODOM, Bogom mojim.

¹⁰“Now, behold, Yahweh has kept me alive, as he spoke, these forty-five years, from the time that Yahweh spoke this word to Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness. Now, behold, I am eighty-five years old, today.

¹⁰In sedaj, glej, GOSPOD me je ohranil v življenju, kakor je govoril teh štirideset in pet let, odkar je govoril besedo to Mojzesu, ko je Izrael potoval po puščavi. In sedaj, glej, danes sem petinosemdeset let star:

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

¹¹in še danes sem tako krepak kakor tisti dan, ko me je Mojzes odposlal; kakršna je bila moja moč takrat, je tudi sedaj, da se bojujem in hodim ven in noter.

¹²Now therefore give me this hill country, of which Yahweh spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there, and great and fortified cities. It may be that Yahweh will be with me, and I shall drive them out, as Yahweh spoke.”

¹²Sedaj torej mi daj to gorovje, ki je o njem govoril GOSPOD tisti dan; kajti slišal si takrat, da so Enakimi ondi in velika in utrjena mesta. Morda bode GOSPOD z menoj, da jih preženem, kakor je govoril GOSPOD.

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

¹³Tedaj ga blagoslovi Jozue ter da Hebron v dediščino Kalebu, sinu Jefunovemu.

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

¹⁴Zato je prišel Hebron v dedno posest Kalebu, Jefunovemu sinu, Kenizejcu, do današnjega dne, ker je zvesto hodil za GOSPODOM, Bogom Izraelovim.Hebron pa se je prej imenoval Arbovo mesto; ta je bil največji mož med Enakimi. In dežela je počivala od vojen.

¹⁵Now the name of Hebron before was Kiriath Arba, after the greatest man among the Anakim. The land had rest from war.

¹⁵Hebron pa se je prej imenoval Arbovo mesto; ta je bil največji mož med Enakimi. In dežela je počivala od vojen.
