Joshua 15

1 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.

Chigawo cha dzikolo chimene mabanja a fuko la Yuda analandira chinafika ku malire ndi Edomu mpaka ku chipululu cha Zini kummwera kwenikweni.

2 Its beginning was from the top of the most salt sea, and from the bay thereof, that looketh to the south.

Malire awo a kummwera anayambira kummwera kwenikweni kwa Nyanja ya Mchere,

3 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.

kudutsa cha kummwera ku Akirabimu, nʼkupitirira mpaka ku Zini. Kuchokera pamenepo nʼkumapita cha kummwera kwa Kadesi Barinea, kudutsa Hezironi mpaka ku Adari ndi kutembenuka mpaka ku Karika.

4 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.

Anapitirira mpaka ku Azimoni motsata mtsinje umene uli malire a Igupto mpaka ku nyanja. Awa ndiwo malire awo a kummwera.

5 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.

Malire a kummawa anali Nyanja Yakufa mpaka kumene Yorodani amathira mu Nyanja ya Mchere. Malire a kumpoto anayambira kumene Yorodani amathirira nyanjayo,

6 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.

napitirira mpaka ku Beti-Hogila ndi kupitirira kumpoto mpaka ku Beti-Araba. Anapitirira mpaka anakafika ku Mwala wa Bohani.

7 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.

Ndipo malirewo anachokeranso ku chigwa cha Akori mpaka ku Debri, kuchokera ku chigwa cha Akori ndi kutembenukira kumpoto ku Giligala, dera limene linayangʼanana ndi msewu wa Adumimu kummwera kwa chigwa. Anapitirira mpaka ku madzi a ku Eni Semesi ndi kutulukira ku Eni Rogeli.

8 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.

Ndipo anapitirira mpaka ku chigwa cha Hinomu mbali ya kummwera kwa mzinda wa Ayebusi (mzinda wa Yerusalemu). Kuchokera kumeneko anakwera mpaka pamwamba pa phiri kumadzulo kwa chigwa cha Hinomu cha kumpoto kwenikweni kwa chigwa cha Refaimu.

9 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.

Ndipo anachokeranso pamwamba pa phiri, kukafika mpaka ku akasupe a ku Nepitowa, nadzatulukira ku mizinda ya phiri la Efroni, ndi kutsikira ku Baalahi (ndiye Kiriati Yearimu).

10 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.

Kuchokera kumeneko anazungulira cha kumadzulo ku Baalahi mpaka ku phiri la Seiri. Anapitirira cha kumpoto kutsata phiri la Yearimu (lomwe ndi Kesaloni). Anapitirirabe kutsika ku Beti Semesi ndi kuwolokera ku Timna.

11 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.

Malirewo anapitirira kumatsitso a mapiri chakumpoto kwa Ekroni, ndi kukhotera ku Sikeroni. Malirewo anadutsa phiri la Baalahi ndi kufika ku Yabineeli. Malirewo anathera ku nyanja.

12 These are the borders round about of the children of Juda in their kindreds.

Malire a mbali ya kumadzulo anali Nyanja Yayikulu. Awa ndi malire ozungulira malo amene anapatsidwa kwa mabanja a fuko la Yuda.

13 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.

Potsata lamulo la Yehova, Yoswa anapereka kwa Kalebe mwana wa Yefune gawo lina la dziko la Yuda dera la Kiriati Ariba, limene ndi Hebroni. (Ariba anali gogo wa Aanaki).

14 And Caleb destroyed out of it the three sons of Ehac, Sesai and Ahiman. and Tholmai of the race of Enac.

Kuchokera ku Hebroni, Kalebe anathamangitsamo mafuko a Aanaki awa: Sesai, Ahimani ndi Talimai, zidzukulu za Aanaki.

15 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.

Kuchokera kumeneko, Kalebe anakathira nkhondo anthu amene ankakhala ku Debri (mzindawu poyamba unkatchedwa Kiriati Seferi).

16 And Caleb said: He that shall smite Cariath-Sepher, and take it, I will give him Axa my daughter to wife.

Tsono Kalebe anati, “Munthu amene angathire nkhondo mzinda wa Kiriati Seferi ndi kuwulanda, ndidzamupatsa mwana wanga Akisa kuti akhale mkazi wake.”

17 And Othoniel the son of Cenez, the younger brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Axa his daughter to wife.

Otanieli, mwana wa mʼbale wa Kalebe, Kenazi, ndiye anawulanda. Choncho Kalebe anamupatsa mwana wake Akisa kuti akhale mkazi wake.

18 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?

Tsiku lina atafika Akisayo, Otanieli anamuwumiriza mkazi wakeyo kuti apemphe munda kwa Kalebe abambo ake. Pamene Akisa anatsika pa bulu wake, Kalebe anamufunsa kuti, “Kodi ukufuna ndikuchitire chiyani.”

19 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.

Iye anayankha kuti “Mundikomere mtima. Popeza mwandipatsa ku Negevi, kumalo kumene kulibe madzi, mundipatsenso akasupe amadzi.” Choncho Kalebe anamupatsa akasupe a kumtunda ndi a kumunsi.

20 This is the possession of the tribe of the children of Juda by their kindreds.
