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,
1Ndidzo nhaka dzakagamuchirwa navana vaIsiraeri panyika yeKanani, dzavakagoverwa nomupristi Ereazari, naJoshua mwanakomana waNuni, navakuru vedzimba dzamadzibaba amarudzi avana vaIsiraeri.
2by the lot of their inheritance, as Yahweh commanded by Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half-tribe.
2Vakagoverwa nhaka yavo nemijenya, sezvavakarairwa naJehovha nomuromo waMozisi, nhaka yamarudzi mapfumbamwe nehafu.
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.
3nekuti Mozisi wakange apa marudzi maviri nehafu nhaka yavo mhiri kwaJoridhani; asi vaRevhi haana kuvapa nhaka pakati pavo.
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.
4Nekuti vana vaJosefa vakange vana marudzi maviri; rwaManase norwaEfuremu; havana kupa vaRevhi mugove munyika iyo, asi maguta mavangagara, namafuro awo emombe dzavo nefuma yavo.
5The children of Israel did as Yahweh commanded Moses, and they divided the land.
5Vana vaIsiraeri vakaita sezvakarairwa Mozisi naJehovha, vakakamura nyika.
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.
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.
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.
7Ini ndakanga ndasvika makore ana makumi mana nguva yandakatumwa naMozisi muranda waJehovha paKadheshi-bhanea kundoshora nyika, ndikadzoka neshoko kwaari sezvandakafunga ini.
8Nevertheless, my brothers who went up with me made the heart of the people melt; but I wholly followed Yahweh my God.
8Asi hama dzangu dzakanga dzakwira neni dzakaodza moyo yavanhu; asi ini ndakatevera Jehovha Mwari wangu nomoyo wose.
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.’
9Mozisi akapika nomusi uyo, akati, Zvirokwazvo, nyika yakatsikwa norutsoka rwako, ichava nhaka yako neyavana vako nokusingaperi, nekuti wakatevera Jehovha Mwari wangu nomoyo wako wose.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.”
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.
13Joshua blessed him; and he gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance.
13Ipapo Joshua akamuropafadza, akapa Karebhu mwanakomana waJefune Hebhuroni, ive nhaka yake.
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.
14Naizvozvo Hebhuroni rakazova nhaka yaKarebhu mwanakomana waJefune, muKenizi, kusvikira nhasi; nekuti wakange atevera Jehovha Mwari waIsiraeri nomoyo wake wose.
15Now the name of Hebron before was Kiriath Arba, after the greatest man among the Anakim. The land had rest from war.
15Zita reHebhuroni pakutanga rakanga riri Kiriati-aribha; iye Aribha wakange ari munhu mukuru pakati pavaAnaki vose. Ipapo nyika ikazorora pakurwa.
