1 A ko nga wahi enei i riro i nga tama a Iharaira i te whenua o Kanaana, i tuwhaina nei e Ereatara tohunga, e Hohua tama a Nunu, e nga upoko hoki o nga whare o nga matua o nga iwi o nga tama a Iharaira mo ratou,

¶ This is the inheritance of the sons of Israel in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest and Joshua, the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the sons of Israel, distributed unto them.

2 H e mea rota o ratou wahi, he mea pera me ta Ihowa whakahau i whakapuakina e Mohi, mo nga iwi e iwa me tetahi taanga hoki o tetahi iwi.

Their inheritance was by lot, as the LORD had commanded by the hand of Moses, to be given to the nine tribes and to the half tribe.

3 K ua hoatu hoki e Mohi he wahi mo nga iwi e rua, mo tetahi taanga hoki o tetahi iwi i tawahi o Horano: otiia kihai i hoatu i roto i a ratou tetahi wahi mo nga Riwaiti.

For Moses had given the inheritance of two tribes and half a tribe on the other side of the Jordan, but unto the Levites he gave no inheritance among them.

4 E rua hoki nga iwi o nga tama a Hohepa, ko Manahi raua ko Eparaima: a kihai i hoatu e ratou tetahi wahi o te whenua mo nga Riwaiti, heoi ano ko nga pa hei nohoanga, me nga wahi o waho a tawhio noa, mo a ratou kararehe, mo a ratou mea.

For the sons of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim, and they gave no part unto the Levites in the land except cities to dwell in with their suburbs for their livestock and for their substance.

5 R ite tonu ki ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a Mohi ta nga tama a Iharaira i mea ai, a wehewehea ana e ratou te whenua.

As the LORD had commanded Moses, so the sons of Israel did regarding the dividing of the land.

6 K atahi ka whakatata nga tama a Hura ki a Hohua i Kirikara; a ka mea a Karepe tama a Iepune Keniti ki a ia, E mohio ana koe ki te kupu i korerotia e Ihowa ki a Mohi, ki te tangata a te Atua, moku, a mou hoki, i Kareheparenea.

¶ Then the sons of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal, and Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, said unto him, Thou knowest the thing that the LORD said unto Moses, the man of God, concerning me and thee in Kadeshbarnea.

7 E wha tekau oku tau i te tononga a Mohi, a te pononga a te Atua i ahau i Kareheparenea ki te tutei i te whenua; a i whakahokia e ahau he korero ki a ia, ko nga mea o roto o toku ngakau.

I was forty years old when Moses, the slave of the LORD, sent me from Kadeshbarnea to spy out the land, and I brought him word again as it was in my heart,

8 A , ko oku teina i haere tahi nei matou ki runga, na ngohe ana i a ratou nga ngakau o te iwi: ko ahau ia, i pau katoa atu ahau ki te whai i a Ihowa, i toku Atua.

but my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt; but I entirely followed the LORD my God.

9 N a ko te oatitanga mai a Mohi i taua ra, ko te meatanga, Ko taua whenua i takahia na e ou waewae, he pono mou pu hei kainga tupu, mo au tamariki hoki ake ake; mou i whakapau ki te whai i a Ihowa, i toku Atua.

And Moses swore on that day, saying, Surely the land on which thy feet have trodden shall be thy inheritance and thy sons’ for ever because thou hast entirely followed the LORD my God.

10 H eoi inaianei kua whakaora a Ihowa i ahau, kua pera me tana i korero ai, ka wha tekau ma rima enei tau, mai o te korerotanga a Ihowa i tenei kupu ki a Mohi, i a Iharaira e haereere ana i te koraha: na, inaianei, ka waru tekau ma rima oku tau.

And now, behold, the LORD has caused me to live, as he said, these forty-five years from the time that the LORD spoke these words unto Moses, while Israel has walked in the wilderness; and now, behold, I am this day eighty-five years old.

11 K ei te kaha tonu ahau i tenei ra, pera ano i te ra i tonoa ai ahau e Mohi: ko toku kaha i reira koia ano toku kaha inaianei mo te whawhai, mo te haere atu, mo te haere mai.

As 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 and to go out and to come in.

12 N o reira homai ki ahau tenei maunga, ko ta Ihowa hoki i korero ai i taua ra; i rongo ra hoki koe taua ra kei reira nga Anakimi, me nga pa nunui, taiepa rawa: tera pea e tata mai a Ihowa ki ahau, a ka peia ratou e ahau, a ka peratia me ta Ihowa i korero ai.

Now, therefore, give me this mountain, of which the LORD spoke in that day; for thou didst hear in that day how the Anakims were there and that the cities were great and strong; peradventure, the LORD will be with me, and I shall drive them out, as the LORD said.

13 N a ka manaakitia ia e Hohua; a hoatu ana e ia a Heperona ki a Karepe tama a Iepune hei kainga tupu.

Then Joshua blessed him and gave unto Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, Hebron as inheritance.

14 K oia i waiho ai a Heperona hei kainga tupu mo Karepe, mo te tama a Iepune Keniti, a mohoa noa nei; mona i whakapau ki te whai i a Ihowa, i te Atua o Iharaira.

Hebron, therefore, became the inheritance of Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, unto this day because he entirely followed the LORD God of Israel.

15 N a ko te ingoa o Heperona i mua ko Kiriata Arapa; ko taua Arapa hoki te tangata tino nui i roto i nga Anakimi. Heoi takoto kau ana te whenua i te whawhai.

And the name of Hebron before was Kirjatharba; Arba had been a great man among the Anakims. And the land had rest from war.
