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.
igitur sors filiorum Iudae per cognationes suas ista fuit a termino Edom desertum Sin contra meridiem et usque ad extremam partem australis plagae
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].
initium eius a summitate maris Salsissimi et a lingua eius quae respicit meridiem
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].
egrediturque contra ascensum Scorpionis et pertransit in Sina ascenditque in Cadesbarne et pervenit in Esrom ascendens Addara et circumiens Caricaa
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.
atque inde pertransiens in Asemona et perveniens ad torrentem Aegypti eruntque termini eius mare Magnum hic erit finis meridianae plagae
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.
ab oriente vero erit initium mare Salsissimum usque ad extrema Iordanis et ea quae respiciunt aquilonem a lingua maris usque ad eundem Iordanem fluvium
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.
ascenditque terminus in Bethagla et transit ab aquilone in Betharaba ascendens ad lapidem Boem filii 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.
et tendens usque ad terminos Debera de valle Achor contra aquilonem respiciens Galgala quae est ex adverso ascensionis Adommim ab australi parte torrentis transitque aquas quae vocantur fons Solis et erunt exitus eius ad fontem 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.
ascenditque per convallem filii Ennom ex latere Iebusei ad meridiem haec est Hierusalem et inde se erigens ad verticem montis qui est contra Gehennom ad occidentem in summitate vallis Rafaim contra aquilonem
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.
pertransitque a vertice montis usque ad fontem aquae Nepthoa et pervenit usque ad vicos montis Ephron inclinaturque in Bala quae est Cariathiarim id est urbs Silvarum
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],
et circuit de Bala contra occidentem usque ad montem Seir transitque iuxta latus montis Iarim ad aquilonem in Cheslon et descendit in Bethsames transitque in Thamna
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.
et pervenit contra aquilonem partis Accaron ex latere inclinaturque Sechrona et transit montem Baala pervenitque in Iebnehel et maris Magni contra occidentem fine concluditur
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.
hii sunt termini filiorum Iuda per circuitum in cognationibus suis
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.)
Chaleb vero filio Iepphonne dedit partem in medio filiorum Iuda sicut praeceperat ei Dominus Cariatharbe patris Enach ipsa est Hebron
14 Caleb forced the three clans of the Anak people-group to leave Hebron. Those were the Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai clans.
delevitque ex ea Chaleb tres filios Enach Sesai et Ahiman et Tholmai de stirpe Enach
15 Then Caleb left there and went to fight against the people living in Debir [city], which was previously named Kiriath-Sepher.
atque inde conscendens venit ad habitatores Dabir quae prius vocabatur Cariathsepher id est civitas Litterarum
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.”
dixitque Chaleb qui percusserit Cariathsepher et ceperit eam dabo illi Axam filiam meam uxorem
17 Othniel, the son of Caleb’s brother Kenaz, captured the city. So Caleb gave his daughter to him.
cepitque eam Othonihel filius Cenez frater Chaleb iunior deditque ei Axam filiam suam uxorem
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?”
quae cum pergerent simul suasit viro ut peteret a patre suo agrum suspiravitque ut sedebat in asino cui Chaleb quid habes inquit
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].
at illa respondit da mihi benedictionem terram australem et arentem dedisti mihi iunge et inriguam dedit itaque ei Chaleb inriguum superius et inferius
