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.
Pea ko e tofiʻa eni ʻoe faʻahinga ʻoe fānau ʻa Siuta ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga; ʻio, ʻo ʻalu ki he ngataʻanga ʻo ʻItomi ʻi he toafa ʻo Sini ʻi he potu tonga, ko hono ngataʻanga ʻaupito ʻoe potu tonga.
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].
Pea ko honau ngataʻanga ʻi he potu tonga naʻe fai mei he matātahi kona, mei he potu [tahi ]ki kō ʻoku hanga ki tonga:
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].
Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ai ia ʻi he potu tonga ki Meali-ʻAkilapimi, pea ʻalu ai ki Sini, pea ʻalu hake ai ʻi he potu tonga ki Ketesi-Pania, pea ʻalu ai ki Heseloni, pea ʻalu ai ki ʻAta, pea ʻalu fakatakamilo ki Kalika:
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.
Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ia ki ʻAsimoni, ʻo mole ai ki he vaitafe ʻo ʻIsipite: pea ko e ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻoe mata fonua ko ia, ko e tahi: ko homou ngataʻanga fonua eni ki tonga.
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.
Pea ko hono ngataʻanga ki he potu hahake ko e tahi kona, ʻio, ʻo aʻu ki hono ngataʻanga ʻo Soatani. Pea ko honau ngataʻanga ʻi he potu tokelau, naʻe fai mei he potu ki kō ʻi he tahi ʻi hono potu mamaʻo atu ʻo Soatani:
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.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ai hono ngataʻanga ki Pete-Hokela, pea ʻalu ai ʻo ofi ki he potu tokelau ʻo Pete-ʻAlapa; pea ʻalu hono ngataʻanga ki he maka ʻo Pohani ko e foha ʻo Lupeni:
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.
Pea naʻe ʻalu hono ngataʻanga ki Tipa mei he teleʻa ʻo Ekoa, ki he feituʻu tokelau, ʻo hanga atu ki Kilikali, ʻo feʻunga mo e hakeʻanga ki Etumima, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he potu tonga ʻoe vaitafe: pea naʻe ʻalu ai hono ngataʻanga ki he ngaahi vai ʻo Eni-Semesi, pea ko hono ʻaluʻanga fakangatangata ʻo ia naʻe ʻi Eni-Lokeli;
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.
Pea naʻe ʻalu hake hono ngataʻanga ki he teleʻa ʻae foha ʻo Henomi ki hono potu tonga ʻoe kau Sepusi; pea ko Selūsalema ia: pea naʻe ʻalu hake ai hono ngataʻanga ki he tumutumu ʻoe moʻunga ʻaia ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he mata teleʻa ʻo Henomi ki lulunga, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi hono ngataʻanga ʻoe teleʻa ʻoe kakai lalahi ki tokelau:
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.
Pea naʻe fua hono ngataʻanga mei he moʻunga ʻo aʻu ki he matavai ʻo Nefitoa, pea mole atu ia ki he ngaahi kolo ʻoe moʻunga ko ʻEfilone; pea naʻe fua atu hono ngataʻanga ki Peala, ʻaia ko Kesa-Sialimi.
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],
Pea naʻe ʻalu fakatakamilo hono ngataʻanga mei Peala ʻi lulunga ki he moʻunga ko Seia, pea mole ai pe ʻo aʻu ki he potu ʻoe moʻunga ko Sialimi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Kesaloni, ʻi he potu tokelau, pea naʻe ʻalu hifo ai ki Pete-Semesi, pea ʻalu ai ki Timina:
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.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ai hono ngataʻanga ʻo hoko atu ki he potu ʻo Ekiloni ki tokelau: pea naʻe fua hono ngataʻanga ki Sikiloni, pea ʻalu ai ia ki he moʻunga ko Peala, ʻo aʻu atu ki Sapinili: pea ko hono ngataʻanga naʻe aʻu atu ki tahi.
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.
Pea ko hono ngataʻanga ki lulunga ko e Tahi Lahi, mo hono matātahi ʻo ia. Ko hono ngataʻanga eni ʻoe fānau ʻa Siuta ʻo fakatakamilo ʻo fakatatau ki honau ngaahi faʻahinga.
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.)
Pea naʻa ne foaki kia Kelepi ko e foha ʻo Sifune hono vahe fakataha mo e fānau ʻa Siuta, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Siosiua, ʻio, ʻae kolo ʻa ʻAlipa ko e tamai ʻa ʻAnaki, ʻaia ko e kolo ko ia ko Hepeloni.
14 Caleb forced the three clans of the Anak people-group to leave Hebron. Those were the Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai clans.
Pea naʻe kapusi mei ai ʻe Kelepi ʻae foha ʻe toko tolu ʻo ʻAnaki, ko Sesei mo ʻEhimani mo Talimi, ko e fānau ʻa ʻAnaki.
15 Then Caleb left there and went to fight against the people living in Debir [city], which was previously named Kiriath-Sepher.
Pea naʻe ʻalu hake mei ai ia ki he kakai ʻo Tipa: pea ko hono hingoa ʻo Tipa ʻi muʻa ko Kesa-Sefa.
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.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Kelepi, “Ko ia ʻoku ne taaʻi ʻa Kesa-Sefa, pea lavaʻi ia, te u ʻatu kiate ia hoku ʻofefine ko ʻAkesa ke na mali.
17 Othniel, the son of Caleb’s brother Kenaz, captured the city. So Caleb gave his daughter to him.
Pea naʻe lavaʻi ia ʻe Otinili ko e foha ʻo Kenasi, ko e tokoua ʻo Kelepi: pea naʻa ne ʻatu kiate ia hono ʻofefine ko ʻAkesa ko hono uaifi.
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?”
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene haʻu kiate ia, naʻa ne ueʻi ia ke ne kole ʻae ngoue mei heʻene tamai: pea naʻe ʻalu hifo ia mei heʻene ʻasi; pea pehē ʻe Kelepi kiate ia, Ko e hā ho loto?
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].
Pea naʻa ne tali ʻo pehē, “Tuku mai ha tāpuaki; he kuo ke foaki mai ha fonua ki tonga: foaki mai ʻae ngaahi matavai foki.” Pea ne foaki kiate ia ʻae ngaahi matavai ʻi ʻolunga, mo e ngaahi matavai ʻi lalo.
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.
Ko e tofiʻa eni ʻoe faʻahinga ʻoe fānau ʻa Siuta ʻo fakatatau ki honau ngaahi faʻahinga.
21 The tribe of Judah was allotted all these towns in the southern [desert area of Canaan], near the border of the Edom [region]: Kabzeel, Eder, Jagur,
Pea ko e ngaahi kolo ʻoe faʻahinga ʻoe fānau ʻa Siuta ʻoku hanga ki he potu ʻo ʻItomi ki tonga, ko Kapisili mo ʻEta mo Sekua.
