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.
Esta fue la tierra asignada a la tribu de Judá, por familias: se extendía hacia el sur hasta la frontera de Edom, hasta el desierto de Zin en el extremo sur.
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].
Su frontera comenzaba en el extremo del Mar Salado – la bahía que mira hacia el sur —
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].
Hai luego iba hacia el sur del Paso de los escorpiones, a través del desierto de Zin, para luego dirigirse al sur de Cades-barnea hasta Hezrón. Desde allí subía hasta Adar y luego giraba hacia Carca,
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.
pasando por Azmon y saliendo al Wadi de Egipto, terminando en el mar. Esta era su frontera sur.
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 frontera oriental de Judá era el Mar Salado, hasta donde termina el río Jordán. El límite septentrional iba desde la bahía septentrional del mar donde termina el Jordán,
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.
hasta el límite de Bet-Joglá, y luego al norte de Bet-arabá hasta la Piedra de Bohán (hijo de Rubén).
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.
Desde allí iba hasta el límite de Debir por el valle de Acor, y giraba al norte hacia Gilgal, frente a las alturas de Adumín, al sur del valle. Luego el límite continuaba hasta las aguas de En-semes y hasta 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.
El límite pasaba entonces por el valle de Ben-Hinón, a lo largo de la ladera sur de los jebuseos, (es decir, Jerusalén), y luego subía a la cima de la montaña que domina el valle de Hinón hasta el extremo norte del valle de Refayín.
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.
Desde allí, el límite iba desde la cima de la montaña hasta el manantial de agua de Neftoa y hasta las ciudades del monte Efrón. Luego se doblaba hacia Balá (Quiriath-Yearín).
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],
Luego el límite daba la vuelta al oeste de Baalá hasta el monte Seir y pasaba por la ladera norte del monte Yearín hasta la ciudad de Kesalón, bajaba a Bet Semes y seguía hasta Timná.
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.
El límite seguía hasta la ladera norte de Ecrón y se doblaba hacia Siquerón, pasando por el monte Balá, hasta Jabneel y terminaba en el mar.
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.
El límite occidental era la costa del Gran Mar. Estos eran los límites alrededor de la tribu de Judá, por familias.
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.)
El Señor le había ordenado a Josué que asignara algunas tierras en el territorio de Judá a Caleb, hijo de Jefone, y así se le dio la ciudad de Quiriat-arba, o Hebrón. (Arba era el padre de Anac).
14 Caleb forced the three clans of the Anak people-group to leave Hebron. Those were the Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai clans.
Caleb expulsó a tres grupos familiares: Sesay, Ajimán y Talmai, descendientes de Anac.
15 Then Caleb left there and went to fight against the people living in Debir [city], which was previously named Kiriath-Sepher.
Desde allí fue a atacar a los habitantes de Debir (antes conocida como Quiriat-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.”
Caleb anunció: “Al que ataque a Quiriat-sefer y lo capture, le daré a mi hija Acsa para que se case con él”.
17 Othniel, the son of Caleb’s brother Kenaz, captured the city. So Caleb gave his daughter to him.
Otniel, hijo de Quenaz, hermano de Caleb, capturó la ciudad, por lo que Caleb le dio a su hija Acsa para que se casara.
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?”
Cuando ella se acercó, él laconvenció para que le pidiera un campo a su padre. Y cuando ella se bajó del asno, Caleb le preguntó: “¿Qué quieres?”.
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].
Ella respondió: “Por favor, dame una bendición. Ya que me has dado una tierra que es como el desierto, por favor, te pido que también me des manantiales de agua”. Entonces él le dio tanto el manantial superior como el inferior.
