Joshua 15
1 The assignment of land for the tribe of the people of Judah, clan by clan, extended south to the border of Edom, with the wilderness of Zin being the farthest point to the south.
Igitur sors filiorum Iudæ per cognationes suas ista fuit: A termino Edom, desertum Sin contra Meridiem, et usque ad extremam partem australis plagæ.
2 Their border on the south ran from the end of the Salt Sea, from the bay that faces to the south.
Initium eius a summitate maris salsissimi, et a lingua eius, quæ respicit Meridiem.
3 Their boundary next went out to the south of the hill of Akrabbim and passed along to Zin, and went up south of Kadesh Barnea, along by Hezron, and up to Addar, where it turned about to Karka.
Egrediturque contra Ascensum Scorpionis, et pertransit in Sina: ascenditque in Cadesbarne, et pervenit in Esron, ascendens ad Addar, et circuiens Carcaa,
4 It passed along to Azmon, went by the brook of Egypt, and came to its end at the sea. This was their south boundary.
atque inde pertransiens in Asemona, et perveniens ad Torrentem Ægypti: eruntque termini eius mare magnum. Hic erit finis meridianæ plagæ.
5 The eastern boundary was the Salt Sea, at the mouth of the Jordan. The border on the north ran from the bay of the sea at the mouth of the Jordan.
Ab Oriente vero erit initium, mare salsissimum usque ad extrema Iordanis: et ea quæ respiciunt ad Aquilonem a lingua maris usque ad eundem Iordanis fluvium.
6 It went up to Beth Hoglah and passed along north of Beth Arabah. Then it went up to the Stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.
Ascenditque terminus in Beth-hagla, et transit ab Aquilone in Beth Araba: ascendens ad lapidem Boen filii Ruben.
7 Then the border went up to Debir from the Valley of Achor, and so northward, turning toward Gilgal, which is opposite the hill of Adummim, which is on the south side of the valley. Then the border passed along to the springs of En Shemesh and went to En Rogel.
Et tendens usque ad terminos Debera de Valle Achor, contra Aquilonem respiciens Galgala, quæ est ex adverso Ascensionis Adommim, ab australi parte torrentis: transitque aquas, quæ vocantur Fons Solis: et erunt exitus eius ad Fontem Rogel.
8 Then the border went up the Valley of Ben Hinnom to the south side of the Jebusite city (that is, Jerusalem). Then it went up to the top of the hill that lies over the Valley of Hinnom, on the west, which is at the northern end of the Valley of Rephaim.
Ascenditque per convallem filii Ennom ex latere Iebusæi ad Meridiem, hæc est Ierusalem: et inde se erigens ad verticem montis, qui est contra Geennom ad Occidentem in summitate Vallis Raphaim contra Aquilonem.
9 Then the border extended from the top of the hills to the spring of Nephtoah, and went out from there to the cities of Mount Ephron. Then the border bends around to Baalah (the same as Kiriath Jearim).
Pertransitque a vertice montis usque ad fontem aquæ Nephtoa: et pervenit usque ad vicos montis Ephron: inclinaturque in Baala, quæ est Cariathiarim, id est, urbs silvarum.
10 Then the border circled around west of Baalah to Mount Seir, and passed along to the side of Mount Jearim on the north (the same as Kesalon), went down to Beth Shemesh, and crossed over to Timnah.
Et circuit de Baala contra Occidentem, usque ad montem Seir: transitque iuxta latus montis Iarim ad Aquilonem in Cheslon: et descendit in Bethsames, transitque in Thamna.
11 The border went out beside the northern hill of Ekron, and then it bends around to Shikkeron and passed along to Mount Baalah, from there it went to Jabneel. The border ended at the sea.
Et pervenit contra Aquilonem partis Accaron ex latere: inclinaturque Sechrona, et transit montem Baala: pervenitque in Iebneel, et magni maris contra Occidentem fine concluditur.
12 The western boundary was the Great Sea and its coastline. This is the border around the tribe of Judah, clan by clan.
Hi sunt termini filiorum Iuda per circuitum in cognationibus suis.
13 In keeping with the commandment of Yahweh to Joshua, Joshua gave Caleb son of Jephunneh an assignment of land among the tribe of Judah, Kiriath Arba, that is, Hebron (Arba was the father of Anak).
Caleb vero filio Iephone dedit partem in medio filiorum Iuda, sicut præceperat ei Dominus: Cariath Arbe patris Enac, ipsa est Hebron.
14 Caleb drove out from there the three sons of Anak: Sheshai, Ahiman and Talmai, descendants of Anak.
Delevitque ex ea Caleb tres filios Enac, Sesai et Ahiman et Tholmai de stirpe Enac.
15 He went up from there against the inhabitants of Debir (Debir used to be called Kiriath Sepher).
Atque inde conscendens venit ad habitatores Dabir, quæ prius vocabatur Cariath Sepher, id est, civitas litterarum.
16 Caleb said, “The man who attacks Kiriath Sepher and captures it, to him I will give Aksah my daughter as a wife.”
Dixitque Caleb: Qui percusserit Cariath Sepher, et ceperit eam, dabo ei Axam filiam meam uxorem.
17 When Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb's brother, captured it, Caleb gave him Aksah his daughter as a wife.
Cepitque eam Othoniel filius Cenez frater Caleb iunior: deditque ei Axam filiam suam uxorem.
18 Soon after that, Aksah came to Othniel and she urged him to ask her father for a field. When she got off her donkey, Caleb said to her, “What do you want?”
Quæ, cum pergerent simul, suasa est a viro suo ut peteret a patre suo agrum, suspiravitque ut sedebat in asino. Cui Caleb: Quid habes, inquit?
19 Aksah replied, “Do me a special favor, since you have given me the land of the Negev: Also give me some springs of water.” Then Caleb gave her the upper springs and lower springs.
At illa respondit: Da mihi benedictionem: Terram australem et arentem dedisti mihi, iunge et irriguam. Dedit itaque ei Caleb irriguum superius et inferius.
20 This was the inheritance of the tribe of Judah, clan by clan.
Hæc est possessio tribus filiorum Iuda per cognationes suas.
