Joshua 15
1 The land that was allotted to the tribe of Judah was divided among its clans. That land extended south along the border of the Edom region, as far as the Zin Desert.
Le sort de la tribu des fils de Juda, selon leurs familles, s'étendait jusqu'à la frontière d'Édom, jusqu'au désert de Tsin, au sud, à l'extrémité du midi.
2 The southern border of the land that was allotted to the tribe of Judah started at the south end of the Dead Sea [and extended west].
Leur limite méridionale partait de l'extrémité de la mer Salée, de la baie qui regarde le sud;
3 It extended south of Scorpion Pass to Zin [Desert], and from there west to a place south of Kadesh-Barnea, past Hezron [town], to Addar [town], and from there it turned [northwest] to Karka [town].
elle partait au sud de la montée d'Akrabbim, passait par Zin, montait au sud de Kadesh Barnea, passait par Hezron, montait à Addar, et se tournait vers Karka;
4 From there it continued to Azmon, and from there to the dry riverbed on the border of Egypt, and from there [west] to the [Mediterranean] Sea. That was the southern border.
elle passait par Azmon, sortait au torrent d'Égypte, et se terminait à la mer. Telle sera votre limite méridionale.
5 The eastern border of the land of the tribe of Judah was the Dead Sea, and it extended [north] to [where the Jordan River ends at] the Dead Sea.
La limite orientale était la mer Salée, jusqu'à l'extrémité du Jourdain. La limite du quart nord s'étendait depuis la baie de la mer jusqu'à l'extrémité du Jourdain.
6 The northern border started where the Jordan River ends at the Dead Sea. It extended [north] to Beth-Hoglah [town], and from there it extended north of Beth-Arabah [town] to the [big] stone [set up by] Reuben’s son Bohan.
La limite montait à Beth Hogla, et passait au nord de Beth Araba; la limite montait à la pierre de Bohan, fils de Ruben.
7 From there the border continued west through Achor Valley to Debir [city]. From there it turned north to Gilgal [city]. Gilgal is north of the road that goes through Adummim Pass, on the south side of the valley. From Gilgal the border extended west to the springs at En-Shemesh, and from there to En-Rogel.
La frontière montait à Debir, de la vallée d'Acor, et passait au nord, en regardant vers Gilgal, qui fait face à la montée d'Adummim, qui est au sud du fleuve. La frontière s'étendait jusqu'aux eaux d'En Shemesh et se terminait à En Rogel.
8 From there it extended through Ben-Hinnom Valley, south of the city where the Jebus people-group lived. (That city is now named Jerusalem.) From there the border extended to the top of the hill on the west side of Hinnom Valley, at the northern end of the valley where the Repha [giants] lived.
La frontière montait par la vallée du fils de Hinnom jusqu'au côté du Jébusien (appelé aussi Jérusalem) au sud; et la frontière montait jusqu'au sommet de la montagne qui se trouve devant la vallée de Hinnom à l'ouest, qui est à l'extrémité de la vallée des Rephaïm au nord.
9 From there the border extended [northwest] to Nephtoah Spring, and from there to the cities near Ephron Mountain. From there the border extended [west] toward Baalah, which is now named Kiriath-Jearim.
La frontière s'étendait depuis le sommet de la montagne jusqu'à la source des eaux de Nephtoah, et se prolongeait jusqu'aux villes de la montagne d'Ephron; la frontière s'étendait jusqu'à Baala (appelée aussi Kiriath Jearim);
10 Then the border extended further west to Seir Mountain. Then it continued [southwest] along the north side of Jearim Mountain, which is also named Kesalon, to Beth-Shemesh [city]. From there it extended [northwest] past Timnah [city],
la frontière tournait de Baala vers l'ouest jusqu'à la montagne de Séir, passait du côté de la montagne de Jearim (appelée aussi Chesalon) au nord, descendait jusqu'à Beth Shemesh, et passait par Timnah
11 to the hill north of Ekron [city]. From there it extended [west] to Shikkeron [town] and past Baalah Mountain to Jabneel [town], then [northwest] to the [Mediterranean] Sea.
La limite se prolongeait vers le nord jusqu'au côté d'Ékron; elle s'étendait jusqu'à Shikkeron, passait par la montagne de Baala, et se terminait à Jabneel; les sorties de la limite étaient vers la mer.
12 The western border of the land that was allotted to the tribe of Judah was the Mediterranean Sea. All the clans of Judah lived inside those borders.
La limite occidentale s'étendait jusqu'au rivage de la grande mer. Telle est la frontière des fils de Juda, selon leurs familles.
13 Yahweh commanded Joshua to give part of the land for the tribe of Judah to Caleb. So he gave to Caleb Kiriath-Arba [city], which is now named Hebron. (Arba was the ancestor of the Anak people-group.)
Il donna à Caleb, fils de Jephunné, une part parmi les fils de Juda, selon le commandement de l'Éternel à Josué, à Kiriath Arba, du nom du père d'Anak (appelée aussi Hébron).
14 Caleb forced the three clans of the Anak people-group to leave Hebron. Those were the Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai clans.
Caleb chassa les trois fils d'Anak: Schéshai, Ahiman et Talmaï, fils d'Anak.
15 Then Caleb left there and went to fight against the people living in Debir [city], which was previously named Kiriath-Sepher.
Il monta contre les habitants de Debir; or le nom de Debir était auparavant Kiriath Sepher.
16 Caleb said, “If someone attacks [the people in] Kiriath-Sepher and captures their city, I will give my daughter Acsah to him to be his wife.”
Caleb dit: « Celui qui frappera Kiriath Sepher et la prendra, je lui donnerai ma fille Acsa pour femme. »
17 Othniel, the son of Caleb’s brother Kenaz, captured the city. So Caleb gave his daughter to him.
Othniel, fils de Kenaz, frère de Caleb, la prit; et il lui donna pour femme sa fille Acsa.
18 When Caleb’s daughter married Othniel, she told him to ask her father to give her a field. Then Acsah went to talk with her father Caleb. As she got down from her donkey, Caleb asked her, “Do you want something?”
Quand elle arriva, elle lui fit demander un champ à son père. Elle descendit de son âne, et Caleb dit: « Que veux-tu? »
19 Acsah replied, “Yes, I want you to do something for me. You have given me some land in the southern part of Canaan, [but there is no water there]. So please give me some [land that has] springs.” So Caleb gave her the upper and lower springs [near Hebron].
Elle dit: « Donne-moi une bénédiction. Parce que tu m'as établie dans le pays du Sud, donne-moi aussi des sources d'eau. » Il lui a donc donné les ressorts supérieurs et les ressorts inférieurs.
20 [Here is a list of the towns in] the land [that God had promised to] give to the tribe of Judah. Each clan was allotted some of the land.
