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.
The land that was allotted to the tribe of Judah was divided among its clans. That land extended south along the border of the Edom region, as far as the Zin Desert.
2 Deres Sydgrænse begynder ved Enden af Salthavet, ved den sydlige Bugt,
The southern border of the land that was allotted to the tribe of Judah started at the south end of the Dead Sea [and extended west].
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,
It extended south of Scorpion Pass to Zin [Desert], and from there west to a place south of Kadesh-Barnea, past Hezron [town], to Addar [town], and from there it turned [northwest] to Karka [town].
4 gaar videre til Azmon og fortsætter til Ægyptens Bæk; saa ender Grænsen ved Havet. Det er deres Sydgrænse.
From there it continued to Azmon, and from there to the dry riverbed on the border of Egypt, and from there [west] to the [Mediterranean] Sea. That was the southern border.
5 Østgrænsen er Salthavet indtil Jordans Udløb. Nordgrænsen begynder ved Havets Bugt ved Jordans Udløb;
The eastern border of the land of the tribe of Judah was the Dead Sea, and it extended [north] to [where the Jordan River ends at] the Dead Sea.
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;
The northern border started where the Jordan River ends at the Dead Sea. It extended [north] to Beth-Hoglah [town], and from there it extended north of Beth-Arabah [town] to the [big] stone [set up by] Reuben’s son Bohan.
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;
From there the border continued west through Achor Valley to Debir [city]. From there it turned north to Gilgal [city]. Gilgal is north of the road that goes through Adummim Pass, on the south side of the valley. From Gilgal the border extended west to the springs at En-Shemesh, and from there to En-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;
From there it extended through Ben-Hinnom Valley, south of the city where the Jebus people-group lived. (That city is now named Jerusalem.) From there the border extended to the top of the hill on the west side of Hinnom Valley, at the northern end of the valley where the Repha [giants] lived.
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;
From there the border extended [northwest] to Nephtoah Spring, and from there to the cities near Ephron Mountain. From there the border extended [west] toward Baalah, which is now named Kiriath-Jearim.
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;
Then the border extended further west to Seir Mountain. Then it continued [southwest] along the north side of Jearim Mountain, which is also named Kesalon, to Beth-Shemesh [city]. From there it extended [northwest] past Timnah [city],
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.
to the hill north of Ekron [city]. From there it extended [west] to Shikkeron [town] and past Baalah Mountain to Jabneel [town], then [northwest] to the [Mediterranean] Sea.
12 Vestgrænsen er det store Hav. Det er Grænsen rundt om Judæernes Omraade efter deres Slægter.
The western border of the land that was allotted to the tribe of Judah was the Mediterranean Sea. All the clans of Judah lived inside those borders.
13 Men Kaleb, Jefunnes Søn, gav han et Stykke Land imellem Judæerne efter HERRENS Befaling til Josua: Anaks Stamfader Arbas By, det er Hebron;
Yahweh commanded Joshua to give part of the land for the tribe of Judah to Caleb. So he gave to Caleb Kiriath-Arba [city], which is now named Hebron. (Arba was the ancestor of the Anak people-group.)
14 og Kaleb drev de tre Anakiter bort derfra, Sjesjaj, Abiman og Talmaj, der nedstammede fra Anak.
Caleb forced the three clans of the Anak people-group to leave Hebron. Those were the Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai clans.
15 Derfra drog han op mod Debirs Indbyggere; Debir hed fordum Kirjat-Sefer.
Then Caleb left there and went to fight against the people living in Debir [city], which was previously named Kiriath-Sepher.
16 Da sagde Kaleb: »Den, som slaar Kirjat-Sefer og indtager det, giver jeg min Datter Aksa til Hustru!«
Caleb said, “If someone attacks [the people in] Kiriath-Sepher and captures their city, I will give my daughter Acsah to him to be his wife.”
17 Og da Kenizziten Otniel, Kalebs Broder, indtog det, gav han ham sin Datter Aksa til Hustru.
Othniel, the son of Caleb’s brother Kenaz, captured the city. So Caleb gave his daughter to him.
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?«
When Caleb’s daughter married Othniel, she told him to ask her father to give her a field. Then Acsah went to talk with her father Caleb. As she got down from her donkey, Caleb asked her, “Do you want something?”
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.
Acsah replied, “Yes, I want you to do something for me. You have given me some land in the southern part of Canaan, [but there is no water there]. So please give me some [land that has] springs.” So Caleb gave her the upper and lower springs [near Hebron].
