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.
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 Their south border was from the uttermost part of the Salt Sea, from the bay that looks southward;
Mpaka wao wa upande wa kusini ulianzia mwisho wa Bahari ya Chumvi, kutoka ghuba iliyokabili upande wa kusini.
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;
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 along to Azmon, went out at the Wadi of Egypt; and the border ended at the sea. This was their southern border.
Ulipita katika Azimoni, kuelekea kijito cha Misri, na mwisho ulikuwa katika bahari. Huu ulikuwa ni mpaka wa kusini.
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.
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 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.
Ulielekea mpaka Bethi Hogla na ulipita kaskazini mwa Bethi Araba. Kisha ulipanda hata JIwe la Bohani mwana wa Rubeni.
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.
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 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.
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 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);
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 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;
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 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.
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 The west border was to the shore of the Great Sea. This is the border of the descendants of Judah 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 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).
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 Caleb drove out the three sons of Anak: Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the descendants of Anak.
Kalebu aliwafukuzia mbali wana watatu wa Anaki: Sheshai, Ahimani na Talmai, wazawa wa Anaki.
15 He went up against the inhabitants of Debir. Now the name of Debir formerly was Kiriath Sepher.
Alipanda kutoka pale kinyume cha wenyeji wa Debiri (Debiri hapo mwanzo iliitwa Kiriathi Seferi).
16 Caleb said, "He who strikes Kiriath Sepher, and takes it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter as wife."
Kalebu akasema, “Mtu atakayeishambulia Kiriathi Seferi na kuiteka, nitampa binti yangau, Akisa, awe mke wake.
17 Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife.
Wakati huo Othinieli mwana wa Kenazi, kaka yake na Kalebu, aliuteka mji, na Kalebu alimpatia Akisa, binti yake awe mke wake.
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?"
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 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.
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.
