Joshua 15

1 And the borders of the tribe of Juda according to their families were from the borders of Idumea from the wilderness of sin, as far as Cades southward.

Loddet faldt for Judæernes Stamme efter deres Slægter således, at deres Landområd strækker sig hen, imod Edoms Område, Zins Ørken mod Syd, yderst mod Syd.

2 And their borders were from the south as far as a part of the salt sea from the high country that extends southward.

Deres Sydgrænse begynder ved Enden af Salthavet, ved den sydlige Bugt,

3 And they proceed before the ascent of Acrabin, and go out round Sena, and go up from the south to Cades Barne; and go out to Asoron, and proceed up to Sarada, and go out by the way that is west of Cades.

og løber sønden om Akrabbimpasset, går videre til Zin, strækker sig opad sønden om Kadesj-Barnea og går derpå videre til Hezron og op til Addar; så drejer den om mod Karka'a,

4 And they go out to Selmona, and issue at the valley of Egypt; and the termination of its boundaries shall be at the sea: these are their boundaries southward.

går videre til Azmon og fortsætter til Ægyptens Bæk; så ender Grænsen ved Havet. Det er deres Sydgrænse.

5 And their boundaries eastward [are] all the salt sea as far as Jordan; and their borders from the north, and from the border of the sea, and from part of Jordan—

Østgrænsen er Salthavet indtil Jordans Udløb. Nordgrænsen begynder ved Havets Bugt ved Jordans Udløb;

6 the borders go up to Baethaglaam, and they go along from the north to Baetharaba, and the borders go on up to the stone of Baeon the son of Ruben.

derpå strækker Grænsen sig opad til Bet Hogla og går videre norden om Bet Araba; så strækker Grænsen sig opad til Rubens Søn Bohans Sten;

7 And the borders continue on to the fourth part of the valley of Achor, and go down to Galgal, which is before the approach of Adammin, which is southward in the valley, and terminate at the water of the fountain of the sun; and their going forth shall be the fountain of Rogel.

derpå strækker Grænsen sig fra Akors Dal op til Debir og drejer nordpå til Gilgal, som ligger lige over for Adummimpasset sønden for Dalen; derefter går Grænsen videre over til Vandet ved Sjemesjkilden og ender ved Rogelkilden;

8 And the borders go up to the valley of Ennom, behind Jebus southward; this is Jerusalem: and the borders terminate at the top of the mountain, which is before the valley of Ennom toward the sea, which is by the side of the land of Raphain northward.

derpå strækker Grænsen sig op i Hinnoms Søns Dal til Sydsiden af Jebusiternes Bjergryg, det er Jerusalem; derpå strækker Grænsen sig op til Toppen af Bjerget lige vesten for Hinnoms Dal ved Refaimdalens Nordende;

9 And the border [going forth] from the top of the mountain terminates at the fountain of the water of Naphtho, and terminates at mount Ephron; and the border will lead to Baal; this is the city of Jarim.

derpå bøjer Grænsen fra Toppen af dette Bjerg ben til Neftoas Vandkilde og løber videre til Byerne på Efronbjerget; så bøjer Grænsen om til Ba'ala, det er Kirjat-Jearim;

10 And the border will go round from Baal to the sea, and will go on to the mount of Assar behind the city of Jarin northwards; this is Chaslon: and it will come down to the city of Sun, and will go on to the south.

derpå drejer Grænsen om fra Ba'ala mod Vest til Seirbjerget, går videre til Jearimbjergets nordre Udløber, det er Kesalon: så strækker den sig ned til Bet Sjemesj og går videre til Timna;

11 And the border terminates behind Accaron northward, and the borders will terminate at Socchoth, and the borders will go on to the south, and will terminate at Lebna, and the issue of the borders will be at the sea; and their borders [shall be] toward the sea, the great sea shall be the boundary.

derpå løber Grænsen i nordlig Retning til Bjergryggen ved Ekron; så bøjer Grænsen om til Sjikkaron, går videre til Ba'alabjerget, løber til Jabne'el og ender ved Havet.

12 These [are] the borders of the children of Juda round about according to their families.

Vestgrænsen er det store Hav. Det er Grænsen rundt om Judæernes Område efter deres Slægter.

13 And to Chaleb the son of Jephone he gave a portion in the midst of the children of Juda by the command of God; and Joshua gave him the city of Arboc the metropolis of Enac; this is Chebron.

Men Kaleb, Jefunnes Søn, gav han et Stykke Land imellem Judæerne efter HERRENs Befaling til Josua: Anaks Stamfader Arbas By, det er Hebron;

14 And Chaleb the son of Jephone destroyed thence the three sons of Enac, Susi, and Tholami, and Achima.

og Kaleb drev de tre Anakiter bort derfra, Sjesjaj, Abiman og Talmaj, der nedstammede fra Anak.

15 And Chaleb went up thence to the inhabitants of Dabir; and the name of Dabir before was the city of Letters.

Derfra drog han op mod Debirs Indbyggere; Debir hed fordum Kirjat Sefer.

16 And Chaleb said, Whosoever shall take and destroy the city of Letters, and master it, to him will I give my daughter Ascha to wife.

Da sagde Kaleb: "Den, som slår Kirjat Sefer og indtager det, giver jeg min datter Aksa til Hustru!"

17 And Gothoniel the son of Chenez the brother of Chaleb took it; and he gave him Ascha his daughter to wife.

Og da Benizziten Otniel, Kalebs Broder, indtog det, gav han ham sin Datter Aksa til Hustru.

18 And it came to pass as she went out that she counselled him, saying, I will ask of my father a field; and she cried from off her ass; and Chaleb said to her, What is it?

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?"

19 And she said to him, Give me a blessing, for thou hast set me in the land of Nageb; give me Botthanis: and he gave her Gonaethla the upper, and Gonaethla the lower.

Hun svarede: "Giv mig en Velsignelse!" Siden du har bortgiftet mig i det tørre Sydland, må du give mig Vandkilder!" Da gav han hende de øvre og de nedre Vandkilder.
