14 — Giosuè

1This is what the children of Israel possessed in the land of Chanaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Josue the son of Nun, and the princes of the families by the tribes of Israel gave to them.Ecco quel che possedettero i figliuoli d'Israele nella terra di Canaan, secondo la distribuzione che ad essi ne fecero Eleazaro sommo sacerdote, e Giosuè figliuolo di Nun, e i principi delle famiglie di ciascheduna delle tribù d'Israele,THIS is it, which the children of Israel possessed in the Land of Chanaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Iosue the sonne of Nun, & the princes of the families by the tribes of Israel gaue to them:Hoc est quod possederunt filii Israël in terra Chanaan, quam dederunt eis Eleazar sacerdos, et Josue filius Nun, et principes familiarum per tribus Israël: 2Dividing all by lot, as the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses, to the nine tribes, and the half tribe.I quali il tutto distribuirono a sorte alle nove tribù e mezzo, conforme aveva ordinato il Signore per mezzo di Mosè:diuiding al thinges by lotte, as our Lord had commanded in the hand of Moyses, to the nine tribes, and the half tribe.sorte omnia dividentes, sicut præceperat Dominus in manu Moysi, novem tribubus, et dimidiæ tribui. 3For to two tribes and a half Moses had given possession beyond the Jordan: besides the Levites, who received no land among their brethren:Imperocché a due tribù e mezzo avea Mosè data la loro porzione di là dal Giordano: tralasciando i Leviti, i quali non ebber parte veruna alla distribuzione fatta tra i loro fratelli:For to two tribes and a half Moyses had geuen possession beyond Iordan: besides the Leuites, which receiued no land among their brethren:Duabus enim tribubus, et dimidiæ, dederat Moyses trans Jordanem possessionem: absque Levitis, qui nihil terræ acceperunt inter fratres suos: 4But in their place succeeded the children of Joseph divided into two tribes, of Manasses and Ephraim: neither did the Levites receive other portion of land, but cities to dwell in, and their suburbs to feed their beasts and flocks.Ma subentrarono nel luogo loro i figliuoli di Giuseppe divisi in due tribù, Manasse, ed Ephraim: e i Leviti non ebbero altra cosa nel paese, se non delle città da abitarvi, e i loro sobborghi per mantenere i loro armenti, e i greggi.but into their place succeded the children of Ioseph diuided into two tribes, of Manasses and Ephraim: neither did the Leuites receiue other portion in the Land, but cities to inhabite, and their suburbes to feede their beastes and cattel.sed in eorum successerunt locum filii Joseph in duas divisi tribus, Manasse et Ephraim: nec acceperunt Levitæ aliam in terra partem, nisi urbes ad habitandum, et suburbana earum ad alenda jumenta et pecora sua.

5As the Lord had commanded Moses so did the children of Israel, and they divided the land.Come aveva ordinato il Signore a Mosè, così fecero i figliuoli d'Israele nella divisione del paese.As our Lord had commanded Moyses, so did the children of Israel, and they diuided the Land.Sicut præceperat Dominus Moysi, ita fecerunt filii Israël, et diviserunt terram. 6Then the children of Juda came to Josue in Galgal, and Caleb the son of Jephone the Cenezite spoke to him: Thou knowest what the Lord spoke to Moses the man of God concerning me and thee in Cadesbarne.Ma si presentarono a Giosuè i figliuoli di Giuda in Galgala, e Caleb figliuolo di Jephone Cenezeo gli disse: Tu sai quel che il Signore disse di me e di te a Mosè uomo di Dio in Cadesbarne.Therfore the children of Iuda came to Iosue in Galgal, and Caleb the sonne of Iephone the Cenezeite spake to him: Thou knowest what our Lord spake to Moyses the man of God concerning me & thee in Cadesbarne.Accesserunt itaque filii Juda ad Josue in Galgala, locutusque est ad eum Caleb filius Jephone Cenezæus: Nosti quid locutus sit Dominus ad Moysen hominem Dei de me et te in Cadesbarne. 7I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Cadesbarne, to view the land, and I brought him word again as to me seemed true,Io avea quarant'anni, quando Mosè servo del Signore spedimmi da Cadesbarne a visitare la terra, e io gli riferii quello che mi parve essere la verità.Fourtie yeares old was I when Moyses the seruant of our Lord sent me from Cadesbarne, to view the Land, and I reported to him that which to me semed true.Quadraginta annorum eram quando misit me Moyses famulus Domini de Cadesbarne, ut considerarem terram, nuntiavique ei quod mihi verum videbatur. 8But my brethren, that had gone up with me, discouraged the heart of the people: and I nevertheless followed the Lord my God.Ma i miei fratelli, che erano venuti con me, misero spavento nel cuore del popolo: e con tutto questo io ho seguito il Signore Dio mio.But my brethren, that had gone vp with me, discouraged the hart of the people: and I neuertheles folowed our Lord my God.Fratres autem mei, qui ascenderant mecum, dissolverunt cor populi: et nihilominus ego secutus sum Dominum Deum meum. 9And Moses swore in that day, saying: The land which thy foot hath trodden upon shall be thy possession, and thy children’s for ever, because thou hast followed the Lord my God.E Mosè fece giuramento in quel giorno, e disse: La terra, sopra la quale hai messi i tuoi piedi, sarà posseduta da te, e da' tuoi figliuoli in perpetuo: perocché tu hai seguito il Signore Dio mio.And Moyses sware in that day, saying: The Land, which thy foote hath troden, shal be thy possession, and thy childrens for euer, because thou hast folowed our Lord my God.Juravitque Moyses in die illo, dicens: Terra, quam calcavit pes tuus, erit possessio tua, et filiorum tuorum in æternum: quia secutus es Dominum Deum meum.

10The Lord therefore hath granted me life, as he promised until this present day, It is forty and five years since the Lord spoke this word to Moses, when Israel journeyed through the wilderness: this day I am eighty-five years old,Il Signore adunque mi ha conceduto vita fino a questo dì, conforme promise. Sono quarantacinque anni che il Signore disse quella parola a Mosè nel tempo che Israele andava girando pel deserto: io ho oggi ottantacinque anni,Our Lord therfore hath granted me life, •s he promised vntil this present day. It is fourtie and fiue yeares, since our Lord spake this worde to Moyses, when Israel walked through the wildernes: this day am I eightie and fiue yeares oldConcessit ergo Dominus vitam mihi, sicut pollicitus est, usque in præsentem diem. Quadraginta et quinque anni sunt, ex quo locutus est Dominus verbum istud ad Moysen, quando ambulabat Israël per solitudinem: hodie octoginta quinque annorum sum, 11As strong as I was at that time when I was sent to view the land: the strength of that time continueth in me until this day, as well to fight as to march.E sono così forte, come lo era in quel tempo, quando fui mandato a prender lingua: la robustezza d'allora continua in me fino al giorno d'oggi tanto per combattere, come per viaggiare.so •ustie, as I was at that time when I was sent to view: the strength of that time contineweth in me vntil this day, as wel to fight as to goe.sic valens ut eo valebam tempore quando ad explorandum missus sum: illius in me temporis fortitudo usque hodie perseverat, tam ad bellandum quam ad gradiendum. 12Give me therefore this mountain, which the Lord promised, in thy hearing also, wherein are the Enacims, and cities great and strong: if so be the Lord will be with me, and I shall be able to destroy them, as he promised me.Dà adunque a me questo monte (il quale di tua sentita fu promesso a me dal Signore), sul quale sono gli Enacimi, e delle grandi e forti città: così il Signore sia meco, e possa io distrugger coloro, come egli mi ha promesso.Geue me therfore this mountaine, which our Lord promised, thy selfe also hearing it, wherein are the Enacims, and great cities and fensed: if perhaps our Lord be with me, and I shal be able to destroy them, as he promised me.Da ergo mihi montem istum, quem pollicitus est Dominus, te quoque audiente, in quo Enacim sunt, et urbes magnæ atque munitæ: si forte sit Dominus mecum, et potuero delere eos, sicut promisit mihi. 13And Josue blessed him, and gave him Hebron in possession.E Giosuè lo benedisse, e gli diede Hebron per sua porzione:And Iosue blessed him, and deliuered to him Hebron in possession.Benedixitque ei Josue, et tradidit ei Hebron in possessionem:

14And from that time Hebron belonged to Caleb the son of Jephone the Cenezite, until this present day: because he followed the Lord the God of Israel.E da indi in poi Hebron fu di Caleb Cenezeo, figliuolo di Jephone fino al dì d'oggi: perchè egli seguì il Signore Dio d'Israele.And from thence forth Hebron belonged to Caleb the sonne of Iephone the Cenezeite, vntil this present day: because he folowed our Lord the God of Israelatque ex eo fuit Hebron Caleb filio Jephone Cenezæo usque in præsentem diem, quia secutus est Dominum Deum Israël. 15The name of Hebron before was called Cariath-Arbe: Adam the greatest among the Enacims was laid there and the land rested from wars.Hebron avea pell'avanti il nome di Cariath-Arbe: Adamo il massimo tra gli Enacimi ivi è sepolto: e la terra ebbe riposo dalle guerre.The name of Hebron before was called Cariath Arbe: Adam the greatest among the Enacims was layd there: and the Land ceased from battels.Nomen Hebron ante vocabatur Cariath Arbe: Adam maximus ibi inter Enacim situs est: et terra cessavit a præliis.
