Joshua 15
1 The lot for the tribe of the descendants of Judah according to their families was to the border of Edom, even to the wilderness of Zin southward, toward the Negev in the far south.
Le lot qui échut à la tribu des enfants de Juda, selon leurs familles, touchait à la frontière d’Edom, près du désert de Cîn au midi, au point extréme de cette région.
2 Their south border was from the uttermost part of the Salt Sea, from the bay that looks southward;
Leur limite méridionale commençait à l’extrémité de la mer Salée, à la pointe qui regarde le sud,
3 and it went out southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and went up by the south of Kadesh Barnea, and passed along by Hezron, went up to Addar, and turned about to Karka;
se continuait au sud de la montée d’Akrabbîm en passant par Cîn, montait au sud de Kadêch-Barnéa en avant de Héçrôn, de là vers Addar, d’où elle tournait vers Karka;
4 and it passed along to Azmon, went out at the Wadi of Egypt; and the border ended at the sea. This was their southern border.
passait par Açmôn, aboutissait au torrent d’Egypte et avait pour limite la mer: "Telle sera pour vous la frontière méridionale."
5 The east border was the Salt Sea, even to the end of the Jordan. The border of the north quarter was from the bay of the sea at the end of the Jordan.
Celle de l’orient est la mer Salée, jusqu’à l’embouchure du Jourdain; celle du côté du nord part de la langue de mer où se termine le Jourdain.
6 The border went up to Beth Hoglah, and passed along by the north of Beth Arabah; and the border went up to the Stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.
Cette limite monte vers Beth-Hogla, passe au nord de Beth-Haaraba, monte vers la Pierre de Bohân ben-Ruben;
7 The border went up to Debir from the Valley of Achor, and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, that is over against the ascent of Adummim, which is on the south side of the river. The border passed along to the waters of En Shemesh, and ended at En Rogel.
arrive à Debir en partant de la vallée d’Akhor; se dirige, par le nord, vers Ghilgal, en face de la montée d’Adoummîm, au midi du bas-fonds; avance jusqu’aux eaux d’En-Chémech et atteint En-Roghel.
8 The border went up by the Valley of Ben Hinnom to the slope of the Jebusites southward (that is, Jerusalem); and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lies before the Valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the farthest part of the Valley of Rephaim northward.
De là, elle monte vers la vallée de Ben-Hinnom, au flanc méridional de Jébus, qui est Jérusalem, court au sommet de la montagne qui regarde, à l’ouest, la vallée de Hinnom, et qui borne, au nord, la vallée de Rephaïm.
9 The border extended from the top of the mountain to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of Mount Ephron; and the border extended to Baalah (that is, Kiriath Jearim);
Du sommet de la montagne, la limite s’infléchit vers la source de Mê-Neftoah, se dirige vers les villes de la montagne d’Efrôn, tourne vers Baala, qui est Kiryath-Yearim,
10 and the border turned about from Baalah westward to Mount Seir, and passed along to the side of Mount Jearim on the north (that is, Kesalon), and went down to Beth Shemesh, and passed along by Timnah;
passe de Baala à l’ouest, vers le mont Séir, de là, au flanc nord du mont Yearim, qui est Kessalôn, descend vers Beth-Chéméch, de là à Timna;
11 and the border went out to the side of Ekron northward; and the border extended to Shikkeron, and passed along to Mount Baalah, and went out at Jabneel; and the goings out of the border were at the sea.
de là, elle gagne le côté nord d’Ekron, s’infléchit vers Chikkerôn, vers la montagne de Baala, vers Yabneêl, et se termine à la mer.
12 The west border was to the shore of the Great Sea. This is the border of the descendants of Judah according to their families.
Pour la limite occidentale, elle est formée par la grande Mer. Telle fut, dans son périmètre, la frontière des enfants de Juda, selon leurs familles.
13 To Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a portion among the descendants of Judah, according to the commandment of YHWH to Joshua, even Kiriath Arba, named after the father of Anak (that is, Hebron).
Caleb, fils de Yefounné, obtint une part parmi les enfants de Juda, selon la parole de l’Eternel à Josué, savoir la Cité d’Arba, empire des Anakéens, aujourd’hui Hébron.
14 Caleb drove out the three sons of Anak: Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the descendants of Anak.
Caleb en expulsa les trois fils d’Anak: Chêchaï, Ahimân et Talmaï, tous enfants d’Anak.
15 He went up against the inhabitants of Debir. Now the name of Debir formerly was Kiriath Sepher.
De là, il s’avança contre les habitants de Debir, laquelle s’appelait autrefois Kiryath-Sêfer.
16 Caleb said, "He who strikes Kiriath Sepher, and takes it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter as wife."
Et Caleb dit: "Celui qui vaincra Kiryath-Sêfer et s’en rendra maître, je lui donnerai ma fille Akhsa pour femme."
17 Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife.
Othoniel, fils de Kenaz, frère de Caleb, s’empara de la ville, et celui-ci lui donna pour femme sa fille Akhsa.
18 It happened, when she came, that she had him ask her father for a field. She got off of her donkey, and Caleb said, "What do you want?"
En se rendant près de son époux, elle l’excita à demander à son père un certain champ; puis elle descendit de l’âne, et Caleb lui demanda: "Que veux-tu?"
19 She said, "Give me a blessing. Because you have set me in the land of the Negev, give me also springs of water." He gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
Elle répondit: "Fais-moi un présent, car tu m’as reléguée dans une contrée aride; donne-moi donc des sources d’eau!" Et il lui donna les sources supérieures et les sources inférieures.
20 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the descendants of Judah according to their families.
