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.
Ugawanaji wa nchi kwa kabila la watu wa Yuda, walipewa kwa kufuatana na koo zao, kutoka upande wa kusini hadi mpaka wa Edomu, pamoja na nyika ya Sini iliyokuwa mbali sana kuelekea kusini.
2 Their border on the south ran from the end of the Salt Sea, from the bay that faces to the south.
Mpaka wao wa upande wa kusini ulianzia mwisho wa Bahari ya Chumvi, kutoka ghuba iliyokabili upande wa kusini.
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.
Mpaka wao mwingine ulielekea upande wa kusini wa mlima wa Akrabimu na kupita kuelekea Sini, na kupanda upande wa Kadeshi Barnea, karibu na Hezroni, hadi Addari mahali ambapo ulipinda kuelekea Karika.
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.
Ulipita katika Azimoni, kuelekea kijito cha Misri, na mwisho ulikuwa katika bahari. Huu ulikuwa ni mpaka wa kusini.
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.
Mpaka wa mashariki ulikuwa ni Bahari ya Chumvi, katika mdomo wa Yordani. Mpaka wa upande wa kasikazini ulianzia katika ghuba ya bahari katika mdomo wa Yordani.
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.
Ulielekea mpaka Bethi Hogla na ulipita kaskazini mwa Bethi Araba. Kisha ulipanda hata JIwe la Bohani mwana wa Rubeni.
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.
Basi mpaka ule ulienda hadi Debiri kutoka katika bonde la Akori, kuelekea upande wa kasikazini, kuendelea hadi Giligali, ambayo iko mkabala na mlima Adumimu, iliyo upande wa kusini wa bonde. Kisha mpaka uliendelea hata katika chemichemi za Eni Shemeshi na kufika Eni Rogeli.
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.
kisha mpaka ulishuka hadi bonde la Beni Hinomu kuelekea upande wa kusini wa mji wa Wayebusi ( ambao ni Yerusalemu). Kisha ulipanda hata katika mlima ulio juu ya bonde la Hinomu, katika upande wa magharibi, ulio mwishoni mwa bonde la Refaimu katika upande wa kasikazini.
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).
Kisha mpaka ulitanuka kutoka katika kilele cha milima hata chemichemi ya Nefutoa, na ulipanda kutoka hapo kuelekea miji ya Mlima Efroni. Kisha mpaka ulipiga kona kuelekea Baala ( ambao ndio Kiriathi Yearimu).
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.
Baadaye mpaka ulizunguka kuelekea magharibi mwa Baala kukabili Mlima Seiri, na kupita kufuata upande wa Mlima wa Yearimu katika upande wa kasikazini (ambao ndio Kesaloni), ulienda chini hadi Bethi Shemeshi na kuvuka hata ng'ambo ya Timna.
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.
Mpaka uliendelea karibu na mlima wa kasikazini mwa mlima wa Ekroni, na kisha ukakata kona kuzunguka Shikeroni na kupita kuelekea sambasamba na Mlima Baala, kutoka hapo uliendelea hadi Yabneeli. Mpaka ule ulikomea katika bahari.
12 The western boundary was the Great Sea and its coastline. This is the border around the tribe of Judah, clan by clan.
Mpaka wa magharibi ulikuwa Bahari Kuu na katika ukanda wa pwani yake. Huu ndio mpaka uliozunguka kabila la Yuda, ukoo kwa ukoo.
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).
Katika kulitunza agizo la Yahweh kwa Yoshua, Yoshua alimpa Kalebu mwana wa Yefune mgao wa nchi ya. miongoni mwa kabila la Yuda, alimgawia nchi Kiriathi Arba, ambayo ndio Hebroni (Arba alikuwa ni baba wa Anaki).
14 Caleb drove out from there the three sons of Anak: Sheshai, Ahiman and Talmai, descendants of Anak.
Kalebu aliwafukuzia mbali wana watatu wa Anaki: Sheshai, Ahimani na Talmai, wazawa wa Anaki.
15 He went up from there against the inhabitants of Debir (Debir used to be called Kiriath Sepher).
Alipanda kutoka pale kinyume cha wenyeji wa Debiri (Debiri hapo mwanzo iliitwa Kiriathi Seferi).
16 Caleb said, “The man who attacks Kiriath Sepher and captures it, to him I will give Aksah my daughter as a wife.”
Kalebu akasema, “Mtu atakayeishambulia Kiriathi Seferi na kuiteka, nitampa binti yangau, Akisa, awe mke wake.
17 When Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb's brother, captured it, Caleb gave him Aksah his daughter as a wife.
Wakati huo Othinieli mwana wa Kenazi, kaka yake na Kalebu, aliuteka mji, na Kalebu alimpatia Akisa, binti yake awe mke wake.
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?”
Mara baada ya hayo, Akisa alienda kwa Othinieli na alimsihi amwombe baba yake shamba. Na mara aliposhuka kutoka katika punda wake, Kalebu alimwambia Akisa, “Unataka nini?”
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.
Akisa akamjibu, “Nifanyie neema. Kwa kuwa umeshanipa nchi ya Negevu, nipe pia baadhi ya chemichemi za maji.” Na Kalebu alimpa chemichemi ya juu na chemichemi ya chini.
