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.
OR [questa] fu la sorte della tribù de' figliuoli di Giuda, per le lor nazioni: L'estremità [del lor paese] verso il Mezzodì fu il deserto di Sin, a' confini di Edom, verso il Mezzodì.
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].
Così ebbero per confine dal Mezzodì, l'estremità del mar salso, dalla punta che riguarda verso il Mezzodì.
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].
E [questo confine] procedeva verso il Mezzodì, alla salita di Acrabbim, e passava fino a Sin; e dal Mezzodì saliva a Cades-barnea, e passava in Hesron; e [di là] saliva in Adar, e poi si volgeva verso Carcaa;
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.
poi passava verso Asmon, e si stendeva fino al Torrente di Egitto, e questo confine faceva capo al mare. Questo sarà, [disse Giosuè], il vostro confine meridionale.
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.
E il confine orientale [fu] il mar salso, fino all'estremità del Giordano. E il confine dal lato settentrionale [fu] dalla punta di quel mare, [la quale è] all'estremità del Giordano.
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.
E questo confine saliva in Bet-hogla, e passava dal lato settentrionale di Bet-araba, e [di là] saliva al Sasso di Bohan Rubenita;
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.
poi saliva in Debir, dalla valle di Acor; e dal Settentrione riguardava verso Ghilgal, che [è] dirimpetto alla salita di Adummim, che [è] dal lato meridionale del torrente; poi questo confine passava alle acque di En-semes, e faceva capo ad En-roghel.
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.
Poi questo confine saliva alla valle de' figliuoli di Hinnom, allato [alla città] de' Gebusei, dal Mezzodì, [la quale] è Gerusalemme; e [di là] saliva alla sommità del monte, che [è] dirimpetto alla valle di Hinnom, verso l'Occidente, il quale [è] all'estremità della valle de' Rafei, verso il Settentrione.
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.
Poi questo confine girava dalla sommità di quel monte, verso la fonte delle acque di Neftoa, e procedeva verso le città del monte di Efron; poi girava verso Baala, [che] è Chiriat-iearim.
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],
Poi questo confine si volgeva da Baala verso Occidente, al monte di Seir, e passava fino allato al monte di Iearim dal Settentrione, [nel luogo detto] Chesalon; poi scendeva in Bet-semes, e passava in Timna.
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.
Poi questo confine procedeva al canto di Ecron, verso il Settentrione, e girava verso Siccheron, e passava al monte Baala, e si stendeva fino a Iabneel, e faceva capo al mare.
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.
E il confine dall'Occidente [era] il mar grande, e i confini. Questi [furono] i confini de' figliuoli di Giuda d'ogni intorno, secondo le lor nazioni.
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.)
Or [Giosuè] avea data a Caleb, figliuolo di Gefunne, una porzione nel mezzo dei figliuoli di Giuda, secondo il comandamento fattogli dal Signore, [cioè: ] Chiriat-Arba, [il quale Arba fu] padre di Anac; essa [è] Hebron.
14 Caleb forced the three clans of the Anak people-group to leave Hebron. Those were the Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai clans.
E Caleb scacciò di là i tre figliuoli di Anac, Sesai, ed Ahiman, e Talmai, nati di Anac.
15 Then Caleb left there and went to fight against the people living in Debir [city], which was previously named Kiriath-Sepher.
E di là egli salì agli abitanti di Debir, il cui nome per addietro [era stato] Chiriat-sefer.
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.”
E Caleb disse: Chi percoterà Chiriat-sefer, e la prenderà, io gli darò Asca, mia figliuola, per moglie.
17 Othniel, the son of Caleb’s brother Kenaz, captured the city. So Caleb gave his daughter to him.
E Otniel, figliuolo di Chenaz, fratello di Caleb, la prese; e Caleb gli diede Acsa, sua figliuola, per moglie.
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?”
E quando ella venne [a marito], indusse Otniel a domandare un campo a suo padre; poi ella si gittò giù d'in su l'asino; e Caleb le disse: Che hai?
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].
Ed ella disse: Fammi un dono; conciossiachè tu m'abbi data una terra asciutta, dammi anche delle fonti d'acque. Ed egli le donò delle fonti ch'erano disopra, e delle fonti ch'erano disotto.
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.
