Joshua 15

1 This was the land allotted to the tribe of Judah, by families: it stretched south to the border of Edom, to the wilderness of Zin in the far south.

igitur sors filiorum Iudae per cognationes suas ista fuit a termino Edom desertum Sin contra meridiem et usque ad extremam partem australis plagae

2 Their boundary began at the end of the Salt Sea—the bay that faces south—

initium eius a summitate maris Salsissimi et a lingua eius quae respicit meridiem

3 and then went south of Scorpion Pass through the wilderness of Zin, then heading south from Kadesh-barnea to Hezron. From there it went up to Addar and then turned towards Karka,

egrediturque contra ascensum Scorpionis et pertransit in Sina ascenditque in Cadesbarne et pervenit in Esrom ascendens Addara et circumiens Caricaa

4 passing through Azmon and out to the Wadi of Egypt, ending at the sea. This was their southern border.

atque inde pertransiens in Asemona et perveniens ad torrentem Aegypti eruntque termini eius mare Magnum hic erit finis meridianae plagae

5 The eastern border of Judah was the Salt Sea, up to where the Jordan River ends. The northern boundary ran from the northern bay of the sea where the Jordan ends

ab oriente vero erit initium mare Salsissimum usque ad extrema Iordanis et ea quae respiciunt aquilonem a lingua maris usque ad eundem Iordanem fluvium

6 up to the border of Beth-hoglath, and then north of Beth-arabah to the Stone of Bohan (Reuben's son).

ascenditque terminus in Bethagla et transit ab aquilone in Betharaba ascendens ad lapidem Boem filii Ruben

7 From there it went to the border of Debir through the valley of Achor, and turned north towards Gilgal, opposite the heights of Adummim to the south of the valley. Then the boundary continued to the waters of En-shemesh and out to En-rogel.

et tendens usque ad terminos Debera de valle Achor contra aquilonem respiciens Galgala quae est ex adverso ascensionis Adommim ab australi parte torrentis transitque aquas quae vocantur fons Solis et erunt exitus eius ad fontem Rogel

8 The boundary then went through the valley of Ben-hinnom, along the southern slopes of the Jebusites, (that is Jerusalem), then on up to the top of the mountain overlooking the valley of Hinnom right up to the northern end of the valley of Rephaim.

ascenditque per convallem filii Ennom ex latere Iebusei ad meridiem haec est Hierusalem et inde se erigens ad verticem montis qui est contra Gehennom ad occidentem in summitate vallis Rafaim contra aquilonem

9 From there the boundary ran from the top of the mountain to the water spring at Nephtoah and on to the towns on Mount Ephron. Then it bent towards Ballah (Kiriath-jearim).

pertransitque a vertice montis usque ad fontem aquae Nepthoa et pervenit usque ad vicos montis Ephron inclinaturque in Bala quae est Cariathiarim id est urbs Silvarum

10 Then the boundary moved around to the west of Baalah to Mount Seir and passed along the northern slope of Mount Jearim to the town of Kesalon, down to Beth Shemesh and on to Timnah.

et circuit de Bala contra occidentem usque ad montem Seir transitque iuxta latus montis Iarim ad aquilonem in Cheslon et descendit in Bethsames transitque in Thamna

11 The boundary then ran to the north slope of Ekron, and bent towards Shikkeron, passing Mount Baalah, out to Jabneel, and ending at the sea.

et pervenit contra aquilonem partis Accaron ex latere inclinaturque Sechrona et transit montem Baala pervenitque in Iebnehel et maris Magni contra occidentem fine concluditur

12 The western boundary was the coastline of the Great Sea. These were the boundaries around the tribe of Judah, by families.

hii sunt termini filiorum Iuda per circuitum in cognationibus suis

13 The Lord had instructed Joshua to allocate some land in Judah's territory to Caleb, son of Jephunneh, and so he was given the town of Kiriath-arba, or Hebron. (Arba was the father of Anak.)

Chaleb vero filio Iepphonne dedit partem in medio filiorum Iuda sicut praeceperat ei Dominus Cariatharbe patris Enach ipsa est Hebron

14 Caleb drove out three family groups—Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai, descendants of Anak.

delevitque ex ea Chaleb tres filios Enach Sesai et Ahiman et Tholmai de stirpe Enach

15 From there he went to attack the inhabitants of Debir (previously known as Kiriath-sepher).

atque inde conscendens venit ad habitatores Dabir quae prius vocabatur Cariathsepher id est civitas Litterarum

16 Caleb announced, “Whoever attacks Kiriath-sepher and captures it, I will give him my daughter Acsah to marry.”

dixitque Chaleb qui percusserit Cariathsepher et ceperit eam dabo illi Axam filiam meam uxorem

17 Othniel, son of Kenaz, brother of Caleb, captured the town so Caleb gave him his daughter Acsah to marry.

cepitque eam Othonihel filius Cenez frater Chaleb iunior deditque ei Axam filiam suam uxorem

18 When she came to him, she encouraged him to ask her father for a field. When she got off her donkey, Caleb asked her, “What do you want?”

quae cum pergerent simul suasit viro ut peteret a patre suo agrum suspiravitque ut sedebat in asino cui Chaleb quid habes inquit

19 She replied, “Please give me a blessing. Since you have already given me land that's like the desert, please give me springs of water as well.” So he gave her both the upper and the lower springs.

at illa respondit da mihi benedictionem terram australem et arentem dedisti mihi iunge et inriguam dedit itaque ei Chaleb inriguum superius et inferius

63 However, the tribe of Judah could not drive out the Jebusites, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so the Jebusites live among the tribe of Judah in Jerusalem to this very day.

Iebuseum autem habitatorem Hierusalem non potuerunt filii Iuda delere habitavitque Iebuseus cum filiis Iuda in Hierusalem usque in praesentem diem
