Josua 15
1 Loddet faldt for Judæernes Stamme efter deres Slægter saaledes, at deres Landomraade strækker sig hen imod Edoms Omraade, Zins Ørken mod Syd, yderst mod Syd.
Now the lot of the children of Juda by their kindreds was this: From the frontier of Edom, to the desert of Sin southward, and to the uttermost part of the south coast.
2 Deres Sydgrænse begynder ved Enden af Salthavet, ved den sydlige Bugt,
Its beginning was from the top of the most salt sea, and from the bay thereof, that looketh to the south.
3 og løber sønden om Akrabbimpasset, gaar videre til Zin, strækker sig opad sønden om Kadesj-Barnea og gaar derpaa videre til Hezron og op til Addar; saa drejer den om mod Karka'a,
And it goeth out towards the ascent of the Scorpion, and passeth on to Sina: and ascendeth into Cadesbarne, and reacheth into Esron, going up to Addar, and compassing Carcaa.
4 gaar videre til Azmon og fortsætter til Ægyptens Bæk; saa ender Grænsen ved Havet. Det er deres Sydgrænse.
And from thence passing along into Asemona, and reaching the torrent of Egypt: and the bounds thereof shall be the great sea, this shall be the limit of the south coast.
5 Østgrænsen er Salthavet indtil Jordans Udløb. Nordgrænsen begynder ved Havets Bugt ved Jordans Udløb;
But on the east side the beginning shall be the most salt sea even to the end of the Jordan: and towards the north, from the bay of the sea unto the same river Jordan.
6 derpaa strækker Grænsen sig opad til Bet-Hogla og gaar videre norden om Bet-Araba; saa strækker Grænsen sig opad til Rubens Søn Bohans Sten;
And the border goeth up into Beth-Hagla, and passeth by the north into Beth-Araba: going up to the stone of Boen the son of Ruben.
7 derpaa strækker Grænsen sig fra Akors Dal op til Debir og drejer nordpaa til Gilgal, som ligger lige over for Adummimpasset sønden for Dalen; derefter gaar Grænsen videre over til Vandet ved Sjemesjkilden og ender ved Rogelkilden;
And reaching as far as the borders of Debara from the valley of Achor, and so northward looking towards Galgal, which is opposite to the ascent of Adommin, on the south side of the torrent: and the border passeth the waters that are called the fountain of the sun: and the goings out thereof shall be at the fountain Rogel.
8 derpaa strækker Grænsen sig op i Hinnoms Søns Dal til Sydsiden af Jebusiternes Bjergryg, det er Jerusalem; derpaa strækker Grænsen sig op til Toppen af Bjerget lige vesten for Hinnoms Dal ved Refaimdalens Nordende;
And it goeth up by the valley of the son of Ennom on the side of the Jebusite towards the south, the same is Jerusalem: and thence ascending to the top of the mountain, which is over against Geennom to the west in the end of the valley of Raphaim, northward.
9 derpaa bøjer Grænsen fra Toppen af dette Bjerg ben til Neftoas Vandkilde og løber videre til Byerne paa Efronbjerget; saa bøjer Grænsen om til Ba'ala, det er Kirjat-Jearim;
And it passeth on from the top of the mountain to the fountain of the water of Nephtoa: and reacheth to the towns of mount Ephron: and it bendeth towards Baala, which is Cariathiarim, that is to say, the city of the woods.
10 derpaa drejer Grænsen om fra Ba'ala mod Vest til Se'irbjerget, gaar videre til Jearimbjergets nordre Udløber, det er Kesalon: saa strækker den sig ned til Bet-Sjemesj og gaar videre til Timna;
And it compasseth from Baala westward unto mount Seir: and passeth by the side of mount Jarim to the north into Cheslon: and goeth down into Bethsames, and passeth into Thamna.
11 derpaa løber Grænsen i nordlig Retning til Bjergryggen ved Ekron; saa bøjer Grænsen om til Sjikkaron, gaar videre til Ba'alabjerget, løber til Jabne'el og ender ved Havet.
And it reacheth northward to a part of Accaron at the side: and bendeth to Sechrona, and passeth mount Baala: and cometh into Jebneel, and is bounded westward with the great sea.
12 Vestgrænsen er det store Hav. Det er Grænsen rundt om Judæernes Omraade efter deres Slægter.
These are the borders round about of the children of Juda in their kindreds.
13 Men Kaleb, Jefunnes Søn, gav han et Stykke Land imellem Judæerne efter HERRENS Befaling til Josua: Anaks Stamfader Arbas By, det er Hebron;
But to Caleb the son of Jephone he gave a portion in the midst of the children of Juda, as the Lord had commanded him: Cariath-Arbe the father of Enac. which is Hebron.
14 og Kaleb drev de tre Anakiter bort derfra, Sjesjaj, Abiman og Talmaj, der nedstammede fra Anak.
And Caleb destroyed out of it the three sons of Ehac, Sesai and Ahiman. and Tholmai of the race of Enac.
15 Derfra drog han op mod Debirs Indbyggere; Debir hed fordum Kirjat-Sefer.
And going up from thence he came to the inhabitants of Dabir, which before was called Cariath-Sepher, that is to say, the city of letters.
16 Da sagde Kaleb: »Den, som slaar Kirjat-Sefer og indtager det, giver jeg min Datter Aksa til Hustru!«
And Caleb said: He that shall smite Cariath-Sepher, and take it, I will give him Axa my daughter to wife.
17 Og da Kenizziten Otniel, Kalebs Broder, indtog det, gav han ham sin Datter Aksa til Hustru.
And Othoniel the son of Cenez, the younger brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Axa his daughter to wife.
18 Men da hun kom til ham, æggede han hende til at bede sin Fader om Agerland. Hun sprang da ned af Æselet, og Kaleb spurgte hende: »Hvad vil du?«
And as they were going together, she was moved by her husband to ask a field of her father, and she sighed as she sat on her ass. And Caleb said to her: What aileth thee?
19 Hun svarede: »Giv mig en Velsignelse! Siden du har bortgiftet mig i det tørre Sydland, maa du give mig Vandkilder!« Da gav han hende de øvre og de nedre Vandkilder.
But she answered: Give me a blessing: thou hast given me a southern and dry land, give me also a land that is watered. And Caleb gave her the upper and the nether watery ground.
