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.
Naguo bũrũri ũrĩa wagaĩirwo mũhĩrĩga wa Juda, kũringana na ũrĩa mbarĩ ciao ciatariĩ, wakinyĩte o mũhaka-inĩ wa bũrũri wa Edomu, o na ũgakinya werũ-inĩ wa Zini gĩturi-inĩ kĩa mwena ũcio wa gũthini.
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].
Mũhaka wao wa mwena wa gũthini wambĩrĩire gĩcongoco-inĩ kĩa mwena wa gũthini kĩa Iria rĩa Cumbĩ,
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].

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.
Ningĩ wacookete ũgathiĩ o ro ũguo nginya Azimoni, ũkoimĩrĩra karũũĩ ka bũrũri wa Misiri, ũkarĩkĩrĩria iria-inĩ. Ũyũ nĩguo mũhaka wao wa mwena wa gũthini.
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.
Mũhaka wa mwena wa irathĩro warĩ Iria rĩa Cumbĩ nginya mũthia wa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani. Naguo mũhaka wa mwena wa gathigathini wambĩrĩirie gĩcongoco-inĩ kĩa iria mũthia-inĩ wa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani,
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.

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.
Ningĩ mũhaka ũcio wacookete ũkambata nginya Debiri uumĩte Gĩtuamba kĩa Akori, ũgacooka ũkerekera gathigathini o nginya itũũra-inĩ rĩa Giligali, rĩrĩa rĩangʼethanĩire na Mwanya wa Adumimu, mwena wa gũthini wa mũkuru ũcio. Wacookete ũgathiĩ na mbere ũgakinya maaĩ-inĩ ma Eni-Shemeshu, na ũkoimĩrĩra o kũu Eni-Rogeli.
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.
Ningĩ ũkambatania na Gĩtuamba kĩa Beni-Hinomu ũikũrũkanĩtie na kĩharũrũka kĩa mwena wa gũthini wa itũũra inene rĩa Mũjebusi (na nĩrĩo Jerusalemu). Kuuma hau ũkambata nginya gacũmbĩrĩ ga karĩma karĩa karĩ mwena wa ithũĩro wa Gĩtuamba kĩa Hinomu o kũu mũthia wa gathigathini wa Gĩtuamba kĩa Refaimu.
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.
Kuuma gacũmbĩrĩ ga karĩma mũhaka ũcio werekeire gĩthima kĩa maaĩ ma Nefitoa, ũkiumĩrĩra matũũra-inĩ ma kĩrĩma kĩa Efironi, na ũgaikũrũka ũgakinya Baala (na nokuo Kiriathu-Jearimu).
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],
Ningĩ mũhaka ũcio ũkarigiicũka na mwena wa ithũĩro uumĩte Baala ũgakinya Kĩrĩma kĩa Seiru, ũgacooka ũgaaikũrũkania na kĩharũrũka kĩa mwena wa gathigathini wa kĩrĩma gĩa Jearimu (nĩkĩo Kesaloni), ũgathiĩ na mbere ũikũrũkĩte nginya Bethi-Shemeshu, na ũgakĩra nginya Timina.

Ningĩ mũhaka ũcio ũkoima hau, ũgathiĩ nginya kĩharũrũka-inĩ kĩa mwena wa gathigathini wa Ekironi, ũkehiũria werekeire Shikeroni, ũkahĩtũka, ũgathiĩ kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Baala, na ũgakinya Jabuneeli. Mũhaka ũcio wathirĩire o iria-inĩ.
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.
Naguo mũhaka wa mwena wa ithũĩro wegiritanĩtie na hũgũrũrũ cia Iria rĩrĩa Inene. Ĩyo nĩyo mĩhaka ĩrĩa yathiũrũrũkĩirie andũ a mũhĩrĩga wa Juda, o ta ũrĩa mbarĩ ciao ciatariĩ.
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.)
O ta ũrĩa Jehova aamwathĩte-rĩ, Joshua nĩaheire Kalebu wa Jefune igai thĩinĩ wa mũhĩrĩga wa Juda, akĩheo Kiriathu-Ariba, na nokuo Hebironi. (Ariba nĩwe warĩ ithe wa Anaki).
14 Caleb forced the three clans of the Anak people-group to leave Hebron. Those were the Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai clans.
Nake Kalebu akĩingata Anaki arĩa atatũ kuuma Hebironi, nĩo Sheshai, na Ahimani, na Talimai, arĩa njiaro cia Anaki.
15 Then Caleb left there and went to fight against the people living in Debir [city], which was previously named Kiriath-Sepher.
Ningĩ agĩcooka agĩthiĩ kũrũa na andũ arĩa maatũũraga itũũra inene rĩa Debiri (kũrĩa tene gwetagwo Kiriathu-Sefari.)
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.”
Nake Kalebu akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũrĩa ugũtharĩkĩra na atunyane Kiriathu-Sefari, ũcio nĩwe ngũhe mwarĩ wakwa Akisa, amũhikie.”
17 Othniel, the son of Caleb’s brother Kenaz, captured the city. So Caleb gave his daughter to him.
Nake Othinieli mũrũ wa Kenazu, mũrũ wa ithe na Kalebu, nĩwe watunyanire itũũra rĩu; nĩ ũndũ ũcio Kalebu akĩmũhe mwarĩ Akisa atuĩke mũtumia wake.
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?”
Mũthenya ũmwe rĩrĩa Akisa aathiire kũrĩ Othinieli-rĩ, akĩringĩrĩria Akisa ahooe mũgũnda kũrĩ ithe Kalebu. Aarĩkia kuuma igũrũ rĩa ndigiri yake, Kalebu akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũkwenda ngwĩkĩre atĩa?”
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].
Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ndagũthaitha ũndathime. Tondũ nĩũũheete bũrũri wa Negevu, he ithima cia maaĩ o nacio.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Kalebu akĩmũhe ithima cia mwena wa rũgongo na cia mwena wa kĩanda.
