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,

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

14 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 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.

1 And these [are] they [of] the sons of Israel who inherited in the land of Canaan, whom Eleazar the priest, and Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the sons of Israel, caused to inherit;

2 by lot [is] their inheritance, as Jehovah commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine of the tribes, and the half of the tribe;

3 for Moses hath given the inheritance of two of the tribes, and of half of the tribe, beyond the Jordan, and to the Levites he hath not given an inheritance in their midst;

4 for the sons of Joseph hath been two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim, and they have not given a portion to the Levites in the land, except cities to dwell in, and their suburbs for their cattle, and for their possessions;

5 as Jehovah commanded Moses, so have the sons of Israel done, and they apportion the land.

6 And the sons of Judah come nigh unto Joshua in Gilgal, and Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenezzite saith unto him, `Thou hast known the word that Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses the man of God, concerning me and concerning thee in Kadesh-Barnea:

7 a son of forty years [am] I in Moses, servant of Jehovah, sending me from Kadesh-Barnea, to spy the land, and I bring him back word as with my heart;

8 and my brethren who have gone up with me have caused the heart of the people to melt, and I have been fully after Jehovah my God;

9 and Moses sweareth in that day, saying, If not -- the land on which thy foot hath trodden, to thee it is for inheritance, and to thy sons -- to the age, for thou hast been fully after Jehovah my God.

10 `And, now, lo, Jehovah hath kept me alive, as He hath spoken, these forty and five years, since Jehovah spake this word unto Moses, when Israel went in the wilderness; and now, lo, I [am] to-day a son of five and eighty years;

11 yet [am] I to-day strong as in the day of Moses` sending me; as my power then, so [is] my power now, for battle, and to go out, and to come in.

12 `And now, give to me this hill-country, of which Jehovah spake in that day, for thou didst hear in that day, for Anakim [are] there, and cities, great, fenced; if so be Jehovah [is] with me, then I have dispossessed them, as Jehovah hath spoken.`

13 And Joshua blesseth him, and giveth Hebron to Caleb son of Jephunneh for an inheritance,

14 therefore hath Hebron been to Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenezzite for an inheritance unto this day, because that he was fully after Jehovah, God of Israel;

15 and the name of Hebron formerly [is] Kirjath-Arba (he [is] the great man among the Anakim); and the land hath rest from war.
