Joshua 15
1 And the lot for the tribe of the children of Judah after their families came by the border of Edom, with the wilderness of Zin, southward, as the uttermost southern boundary.
Ugawanaji wa nchi kwa kabila la watu wa Yuda, walipewa kwa kufuatana na koo zao, kutoka upande wa kusini hadi mpaka wa Edomu, pamoja na nyika ya Sini iliyokuwa mbali sana kuelekea kusini.
2 And their southern boundary was from the end of the salt sea, from the bay that bendeth southward:
Mpaka wao wa upande wa kusini ulianzia mwisho wa Bahari ya Chumvi, kutoka ghuba iliyokabili upande wa kusini.
3 And it went out to the south of the heights of 'Akrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and ascended up on the south side unto Kadesh-barnea, and passed along to Chezron, and went up to Adar, and fetched a compass to Karka';
Mpaka wao mwingine ulielekea upande wa kusini wa mlima wa Akrabimu na kupita kuelekea Sini, na kupanda upande wa Kadeshi Barnea, karibu na Hezroni, hadi Addari mahali ambapo ulipinda kuelekea Karika.
4 And it passed on toward 'Azmon, and went out unto the river of Egypt; and the terminations of the boundary were at the sea: this shall be your southern boundary.
Ulipita katika Azimoni, kuelekea kijito cha Misri, na mwisho ulikuwa katika bahari. Huu ulikuwa ni mpaka wa kusini.
5 And the east boundary was the salt sea, unto the end of the Jordan. And the boundary in the north quarter was from the bay of the sea at the end of the Jordan;
Mpaka wa mashariki ulikuwa ni Bahari ya Chumvi, katika mdomo wa Yordani. Mpaka wa upande wa kasikazini ulianzia katika ghuba ya bahari katika mdomo wa Yordani.
6 And the boundary went up to Beth-choglah, and passed along by the north of Beth'arabah; and the boundary went up to Ebenbohan the son of Reuben;
Ulielekea mpaka Bethi Hogla na ulipita kaskazini mwa Bethi Araba. Kisha ulipanda hata JIwe la Bohani mwana wa Rubeni.
7 And the boundary went up toward Debir from the Valley of 'Achor, and at the north it bent toward Gilgal, that is opposite the heights of Adummim, which is on the south side of the valley; and the boundary passed toward the waters of 'En-shemesh, and its terminations were at En-rogel;
Basi mpaka ule ulienda hadi Debiri kutoka katika bonde la Akori, kuelekea upande wa kasikazini, kuendelea hadi Giligali, ambayo iko mkabala na mlima Adumimu, iliyo upande wa kusini wa bonde. Kisha mpaka uliendelea hata katika chemichemi za Eni Shemeshi na kufika Eni Rogeli.
8 And the boundary went up to the valley of the son of Hinnom unto the south side of the Jebusite, the same is Jerusalem; and the boundary went up to the top of the mount that lieth before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the end of the valley of Rephaim northward;
kisha mpaka ulishuka hadi bonde la Beni Hinomu kuelekea upande wa kusini wa mji wa Wayebusi ( ambao ni Yerusalemu). Kisha ulipanda hata katika mlima ulio juu ya bonde la Hinomu, katika upande wa magharibi, ulio mwishoni mwa bonde la Refaimu katika upande wa kasikazini.
9 And the boundary extended from the top of the mount unto the spring of the waters of Nephtoach, and went out to the cities of mount 'Ephron; and the boundary extended to Ba'alah, which is Kiryath-ye'arim;
Kisha mpaka ulitanuka kutoka katika kilele cha milima hata chemichemi ya Nefutoa, na ulipanda kutoka hapo kuelekea miji ya Mlima Efroni. Kisha mpaka ulipiga kona kuelekea Baala ( ambao ndio Kiriathi Yearimu).
10 And the boundary compassed from Ba'alah westward unto mount Seir, and passed along unto the side of mount Ye'arim, which is Kessalon, on the north side, and went down to Beth-shemesh, and passed on to Timnah;
Baadaye mpaka ulizunguka kuelekea magharibi mwa Baala kukabili Mlima Seiri, na kupita kufuata upande wa Mlima wa Yearimu katika upande wa kasikazini (ambao ndio Kesaloni), ulienda chini hadi Bethi Shemeshi na kuvuka hata ng'ambo ya Timna.
11 And the boundary went out unto the side of 'Ekron northward; and the boundary extended to Shikron, and passed along to the mount of Ba'alah, and went out unto Yabneel; and the terminations of the boundary were at the sea.
Mpaka uliendelea karibu na mlima wa kasikazini mwa mlima wa Ekroni, na kisha ukakata kona kuzunguka Shikeroni na kupita kuelekea sambasamba na Mlima Baala, kutoka hapo uliendelea hadi Yabneeli. Mpaka ule ulikomea katika bahari.
12 And the west boundary was by the great sea, and the coast thereof. This is the boundary of the children of Judah round about according to their families.
Mpaka wa magharibi ulikuwa Bahari Kuu na katika ukanda wa pwani yake. Huu ndio mpaka uliozunguka kabila la Yuda, ukoo kwa ukoo.
13 And unto Caleb the son of Yephunneh he gave as a portion among the children of Judah, according to the order of the Lord to Joshua, Kiryath-arba' the father of 'Anak, which is Hebron.
Katika kulitunza agizo la Yahweh kwa Yoshua, Yoshua alimpa Kalebu mwana wa Yefune mgao wa nchi ya. miongoni mwa kabila la Yuda, alimgawia nchi Kiriathi Arba, ambayo ndio Hebroni (Arba alikuwa ni baba wa Anaki).
14 And Caleb drove out from there the three sons of 'Anak, Sheshai, and Achiman, and Talmai, the children of 'Anak.
Kalebu aliwafukuzia mbali wana watatu wa Anaki: Sheshai, Ahimani na Talmai, wazawa wa Anaki.
15 And he went up from there to the inhabitants of Debir; and the name of Debir before was Kiryath-sepher.
Alipanda kutoka pale kinyume cha wenyeji wa Debiri (Debiri hapo mwanzo iliitwa Kiriathi Seferi).
16 And Caleb said, He that will smite Kiryath-sepher, and capture it, to him will I give 'Achsah my daughter for wife.
Kalebu akasema, “Mtu atakayeishambulia Kiriathi Seferi na kuiteka, nitampa binti yangau, Akisa, awe mke wake.
17 And 'Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, captured it; and he gave him 'Achsah his daughter for wife.
Wakati huo Othinieli mwana wa Kenazi, kaka yake na Kalebu, aliuteka mji, na Kalebu alimpatia Akisa, binti yake awe mke wake.
18 And it came to pass, as she came thither, that she persuaded him to ask of her father a field: and she alighted from her ass; and Caleb said unto her, What aileth thee?
Mara baada ya hayo, Akisa alienda kwa Othinieli na alimsihi amwombe baba yake shamba. Na mara aliposhuka kutoka katika punda wake, Kalebu alimwambia Akisa, “Unataka nini?”
19 And she said, Give me a blessing; for a dry land hast thou given me: give me then also springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
Akisa akamjibu, “Nifanyie neema. Kwa kuwa umeshanipa nchi ya Negevu, nipe pia baadhi ya chemichemi za maji.” Na Kalebu alimpa chemichemi ya juu na chemichemi ya chini.
