1 T hese are the lands which the people of Israel received in the land of Canaan. They were given to them as a gift by Eleazar the religious leader, Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the families of the people of Israel.

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,

2 T heir share was decided upon by drawing names, as the Lord told Moses, for the nine families and the half-family group.

He 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.

3 F or Moses had given land to the two families and the half-family group east of the Jordan. But he did not give land to the Levites among them.

Kua 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.

4 B ecause the sons of Joseph were two families, Manasseh and Ephraim. And they did not give part of the land to the Levites. They only gave them cities to live in, with fields for their animals and whatever they had.

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.

5 T he people of Israel did just as the Lord had told Moses. They divided the land.

Rite 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.

6 T hen the sons of Judah came to Joshua in Gilgal. Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, “You know what the Lord said to Moses the man of God about you and me in Kadesh-barnea.

Katahi 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.

7 I was forty years old when the Lord’s servant Moses sent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land. I returned with news for him as it was in my heart.

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.

8 M y brothers who went up with me made the heart of the people weak with fear. But I followed the Lord my God with all my heart.

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.

9 S o Moses promised on that day, ‘For sure the land where your foot has stepped will be a gift to you and your children forever. Because you have followed the Lord my God with all your heart.’

Na 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.

10 N ow see, the Lord has let me live, as He said, these forty-five years since the Lord spoke this word to Moses while Israel walked in the desert. Today I am eighty-five years old.

Heoi 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.

11 I am as strong today as I was the day Moses sent me. I am as strong now as I was then, for war, or for anything.

Kei 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.

12 S o now give me this hill country the Lord spoke about on that day. For you heard then that big powerful men were there, with strong cities with high walls. If the Lord will be with me, I will drive them out just as the Lord said.”

No 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.

13 S o Joshua prayed that God would favor him. And he gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his share.

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

14 H ebron became the land of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day. Because he followed the Lord God of Israel with all his heart.

Koia 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.

15 T he name of Hebron had been Kiriath-arba. For Arba was the most powerful among the big powerful men. Then the land had rest from war.

Na 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.
