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.
Ty anjara’ i fifokoan’ ana’ Iehoda ty amo hasavereña’eo an-tsapake le pak’ an-tane’ i Edome naho ty fatrambei’ i Tsine mb’ amy Negeve mb’eo ho efe’e atimo.
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].
Ty efe-tane’ iareo atimo, le boak’ añ’ olo’ i Riake Siray hirik’ amy fitolian-dakañe mitolike mañatimoy;
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].
le mb’e Negeve mb’eo pak’amy fitroara’ i Akrabime sikal’ amy Tsine naho mionjomb’ ami’ty ila atimo’ i Kadese-barnea an-kalo’ i Ketsrone naho mionjoñe mb’e Adare vaho mitolike mb’e Karkà mb’eo,
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.
ie boak’ ao le miary mb’e Atsmone vaho miakatse mb’ amy oñe’ i Mitsraimey, le mitakatse i riak’ ahandrefañey i efe’ey. Izay ty efe’o atimo.
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.
I Riake Siray ty efe’e atiñanañe pak’ am’ Iardeney. Le ty efe’e avaratse boak’ am-pitolian-daka’ i riakey, am-binàñe’ Iardeney,
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.
le mitohy mb’e Betehoglà naho miary avara’ i Bete’ arabà; ie boak’ ao mionjomb’ am-bato’ i Bohane, ana’ i Reobene mb’eo i efetsey.
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.
Mibalike mb’e Debire boak’ am-bavatane’ i Akore i efetsey le mañavaratse, mitolike mb’e Gilgale, aolo’ ty fitroara’ i Adomime, atimo i sakay; miary amo rano’ i Ensemeseo i efetsey vaho miakatse amy rano migoangoa’ i Rogeley,
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.
le mionjomb’ amy vavatanen’ ana’ i Hinome añ’ ila’ i nte-Iebosiý mañatimo; izay t’Ierosalaime, naho manganike mb’ an-dengom-bohitse aolo’ i vavatane’ i Hinomey mañandrefa ami’ty figadoña’ i vavatanen-dRafày, mañavaratse;
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.
miary ambone’ i vohitsey i efetsey pak’ amy rano migoangoa’ i Neftoà naho miakatse mb’ amo rova’ am-bohi’ i Efroneo mb’eo; le miary Efrone i efetsey pake Baalà; ie i Kiriat-iearime.
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],
Ie amy zay miolake boake Baalà mañandrefa pak’ am-bohi-Seire naho miary mb’ añila’ avara’ i vohi’ Iearimey mb’eo—i Kesalone zay, le mizotso mb’e Bete-Semese mb’eo vaho miary mb’e Timnà mb’eo.
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.
Le miary añ’ ila’ i Ekrone mañavaratse i efetsey; le miary mb’e Sikrone mb’eo ty efe’e naho mb’ amy Baalà naho miakatse mb’e Iabnile; vaho miakatse mb’ an-driak’ añe i efe’ey.
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.
Ty efe’e ahandrefa, le i olon-driake jabajabay. Ie ty efe-tane’ o ana’ Iehodao mb’eo mb’eo ty amo hasavereña’eo.
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.)
Natolo’e amy Kalebe’ ana’ Iefonè ty ila’ o anjara’ o ana’ Iehodaoo, ty amy nandilia’ Iehovà Iehosoay, rekets’ i Kiriate-Arbà, toe rae’ i Anàke t’i Arbà; ty rova atao Kebrone.
14 Caleb forced the three clans of the Anak people-group to leave Hebron. Those were the Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai clans.
Natao i Kalebe soike i ana-dahi’ telo’ i Anàke rey: i Sesay naho i Ahimane naho i Talmay, i ana’ i Anàke rey.
15 Then Caleb left there and went to fight against the people living in Debir [city], which was previously named Kiriath-Sepher.
Ie boak’ ao le nionjomb’ amo mpimone’ i Debireo mb’eo; natao Kiriate-sefere ty añara’ i Debire taolo.
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.”
Le hoe t’i Kalebe, Hatoloko amy ze manjevoñe i Kiriate-sefere vaho mahatavañe aze t’i Aksàe anak’ ampelako ho vali’e.
17 Othniel, the son of Caleb’s brother Kenaz, captured the city. So Caleb gave his daughter to him.
Aa le tinava’ i Otniele ana’i Kenaze rahalahi’ i Kalebe vaho natolo’e aze t’i Aksae anak’ ampela’e ho tañanjomba’e.
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?”
Ie amy zao, naho nasese ama’e i ampelay, le nosihe’e ty hihalaly tetek’ aman-drae’e; aa ie nizotso amy borìke’ey, le hoe ty asa’ i Kalebe ama’e: Ino o paia’oo?
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].
Hoe re: Tatao iraho, kanao tinolo’o tane atimo ao, ehe itoloro rano manganahana. Aa le natolo’e aze i Rano Manganahana Amboney naho i Rano Manganahana Ambaney.
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.
