    Chapter14

    1HerefollowtheportionswhichtheIsraelitesreceivedinthelandofCanaan.Eleazarthepriest,Joshua,sonofNun,andtheheadsoffamiliesinthetribesoftheIsraelitesdetermined

    以下是以色列子民在客纳罕地所得的产业,那是司祭厄肋阿匝尔和农的儿子若苏厄,以及以色列子民各支派的族长给他们划分的,

    2theirheritagebylot,inaccordancewiththeinstructionstheLORDhadgiventhroughMosesconcerningtheremainingnineandahalftribes.

    按照上主借梅瑟吩咐的,以抽签方式将土地分给了九个半支派,

    3FortotwoandahalftribesMoseshadalreadygivenaheritagebeyondtheJordan;andthoughtheLevitesweregivennoheritageamongthetribes,

    因为梅瑟在约但河东,已将产业分给了另两个支派;在他们中只没有给肋未人分配产业。

    4thedescendantsofJosephformedtwotribes,ManassehandEphraim.TheLevitesthemselvesreceivednoshareofthelandexceptcitiestolivein,withtheirpasturelandsforthecattleandflocks.

    实际上,若瑟的子孙形成了两个支派,即默纳协和厄弗辣因。虽没有分配给肋未人产业,却给了他们一些城市作住所,和城郊的草地,为牧放他们的牲畜和羊群。

    5Thus,inapportioningtheland,didtheIsraelitescarryouttheinstructionsoftheLORDtoMoses.

    上主怎样吩咐了梅瑟,以色列子民便怎样进行划分土地。

    6WhentheJudahitescameuptoJoshuainGilgal,theKenizziteCaleb,sonofJephunneh,saidtohim:"YouknowwhattheLORDsaidtothemanofGod,Moses,aboutyouandmeinKadesh-barnea.

    犹大的子孙来到基耳加耳见若苏厄时,刻纳次族耶孚乃的儿子加肋布对若苏厄说:“上主在卡德士巴尔乃亚,关于你和我对天主的人梅瑟所说的话,你是知道的。

    7IwasfortyyearsoldwhentheservantoftheLORD,Moses,sentmefromKadesh-barneatoreconnoitertheland;andIbroughtbacktohimaconscientiousreport.

    当上主的仆人梅瑟从卡德士巴尔乃亚,派我去侦探这地方时,我正十四岁,我全按我的良心回报了衪。

    8Myfellowscoutswhowentupwithmediscouragedthepeople,butIwascompletelyloyaltotheLORD,myGod.

    当与我一同上去的弟兄们使百姓丧气时,我始终服从了上主我的天主。

    9OnthatoccasionMosessworethisoath,‘Thelandwhereyouhavesetfootshallbecomeyourheritageandthatofyourdescendantsforever,becauseyouhavebeencompletelyloyaltotheLORD,myGod.'

    那天梅瑟曾起誓说:凡你的脚所踏过的地方,必定永久归于你和你的子孙作为产业,因为你始终服从了上主我的天主。

    10Now,ashepromised,theLORDhaspreservedmewhileIsraelwasjourneyingthroughthedesert,fortheforty-fiveyearssincetheLORDspokethustoMoses;andalthoughIamnoweighty-fiveyearsold,

    现在你看,自从上主对梅瑟说了这话,上主便照所应许的,使我又活了四十五年,经过了以色列人在旷野漂流的时期,现在我已是八十五岁的人了。

    11IamstillasstrongtodayasIwasthedayMosessentmeforth,withnolessvigorwhetherforwarorforordinarytasks.

    但我现在还很强壮,如梅瑟派我去的那天一样;不拘是打仗或是出入行动,我现在的力量和那时完全一样。

    12Giveme,therefore,thismountainregionwhichtheLORDpromisedmethatday,asyouyourselfheard.True,theAnakimarethere,withlargefortifiedcities,butiftheLORDiswithmeIshallbeabletodrivethemout,astheLORDpromised."

    现在,请你将上主那天所许下的这山地赐给我,因为那天你也曾亲自听过这话。固然,那里有阿纳克人,城池又大又坚固,或许上主会与我同在,照上主所应许的,我能将他们赶走。"

    13JoshuablessedCaleb,sonofJephunneh,andgavehimHebronashisheritage.

    若苏厄就祝福了他,将赫贝龙给了耶孚乃的儿子加肋布作为产业。

    14ThereforeHebronremainstheheritageoftheKenizziteCaleb,sonofJephunneh,tothepresentday,becausehewascompletelyloyaltotheLORD,theGodofIsrael.

    因此赫贝龙直到今日仍为刻纳次族人耶孚乃的儿子加肋布的产业,因为他始终服从了上主以色列的天主。

    15HebronwasformerlycalledKiriath-arba,forArba,thegreatestamongtheAnakim.Andthelandenjoyedpeace.

    赫贝龙以前名叫克黎雅特阿尔巴,阿尔巴原是阿纳克人中的一个伟人。以后国内升平,再无战事。
