Joshua 15

1 [This] then was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah by their families; [even] to the border of Edom, the wilderness of Zin southward [was] the uttermost part of the south border.

Anyigba si wotsɔ na Yuda ƒe viwo la ƒe anyigbemeliƒo dze egɔme tso Edom ƒe dzigbemeliƒo dzi, tso Zin gbegbe la, eye wòtɔ Negeb ƒe dzieheliƒo.

2 And their south border was from the shore of the salt-sea, from the bay that looketh southward:

Dzieheliƒo sia tso Dzeƒu alo Ƒukuku la to le anyigbeme

3 And it went out to the south side to Maaleh-acrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and ascended on the south side to Kadesh-barnea, and passed along to Hezron, and went up to Adar, and fetched a compass to Karkaa:

ɖo ta dziehe tso Akrabim to dzi mɔ la gbɔ heyi Zin. Eɖo ta dziehe to Kades Barnea, to Hezron heyi Adar, trɔ ɖo ta Karka,

4 [From thence] it passed towards Azmon, and went out to the river of Egypt; and the limits of that border were at the sea: this shall be your south limit.

eye wòyi Azmon. Eto tɔʋu si le Egipte ƒe liƒo dzi la ŋu heyi ɖatɔ Domeƒu la. Esia nye Yuda ƒe anyigbemeliƒo.

5 And the east border [was] the salt-sea, [even] to the end of Jordan: and [their] border in the north quarter [was] from the bay of the sea, at the uttermost part of Jordan:

Ɣedzeƒeliƒo la tso Dzeƒu la ŋu yi Yɔdan tɔsisi la nu. Anyigbemeliƒo la dze egɔme tso afi si Yɔdan tɔsisi la de nu Dzeƒu la me le,

6 And the border went up to Beth-hogla, and passed along by the north of Beth-arabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben:

hetso eme yi Bet Hogla, Bet Araba ƒe anyiehe yi Bohan, Ruben ƒe vi ƒe kpe la gbɔ.

7 And the border went up towards Debir from the valley of Achor, and so northward looking towards Gilgal, that [is] before the going up to Adummim, which [is] on the south side of the river: and the border passed towards the waters of En-shemesh, and the borders of it were at En-rogel:

Tso afi ma la, liƒo la to Akɔr ƒe balime yi Debir, eye wòtrɔ yi anyiehe kple ɣetoɖoƒe dome ɖo ta Gilgal le Adumim towo ƒe akpa kemɛ dzi, le balime la ƒe dziehe lɔƒo. Egayi En Semes ƒe tsi dzidziwo gbɔ heyi En Rogel.

8 And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom, to the south side of the Jebusite; the same [is] Jerusalem: and the border went up to the top of the mountain that [lieth] before the valley of Hinnom westward, which [is] at the end of the valley of the giants northward:

Liƒo la to Ben Hinom ƒe Balime azɔ, to Yebus, afi si wotso Yerusalem ɖo ƒe dziehe lɔƒo, to ɣetoɖoƒe yi toawo dzi le Ben Hinom ƒe Balime tame heyi ɖase ɖe Refaim ƒe balime ƒe seƒe le dzigbeme.

9 And the border was drawn from the top of the hill to the fountain of the water of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of mount Ephron; and the border was drawn to Baalah, which [is] Kirjath-jearim:

Egatso to la tame heyi Nef to la ƒe tsi dzidziwo gbɔ heyi du siwo le Efrɔn to dzi la gbɔ hafi trɔ ɖo ta dzigbeme, ƒo xlã Baala (si wogayɔna be Kiriat Yearim)

10 And the border compassed from Baalah westward to mount Seir, and passed along to the side of mount Jearim (which [is] Chesalon) on the north side, and went down to Beth-shemesh, and passed on to Timnah:

ɖo ta Edom ƒe to Seir gbɔ, yi Yearim to alo Kesalon ƒe dzigbeme, yi Bet Semes heto Timna ŋu.

11 And the border went out to the side of Ekron northward: and the border was drawn to Shicron, and passed along to mount Baalah, and went out to Jabneel; and the terminations of the border were at the sea.

Liƒo la yi togbɛ siwo le Ekron ƒe dzigbeme la gbɔ, trɔ ɖo ta Sikeron to, Baala to la ŋu, yi Yabneel hewu nu ɖe Domeƒu la to.

12 And the west border [was] to the great sea, and its coast: this [is] the border of the children of Judah round about, according to their families.

Ke ɣetoɖoƒeliƒo enye ƒu gã la kple eŋu nyigbawo. Esia nye Yudaviwo ƒe liƒo godoo va kpe le woƒe ƒomeawo nu.

13 And to Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a part among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of the LORD to Joshua, [even] the city of Arba the father of Anak, which [city is] Hebron.

Yehowa gblɔ na Yosua be wòatsɔ Yuda ƒe anyigba ƒe akpa aɖe na Kaleb, Yefune ƒe vi la. Ale wotsɔ Arba du si wogayɔna be Hebron, du si wotsɔ Anak fofo ƒe ŋkɔ na la na Kaleb.

14 And Caleb drove thence the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.

Esia ta Kaleb nya Anak ƒe vi etɔ̃awo, Talmai, Sesai kple Ahiman ƒe dzidzimeviwo le anyigba la dzi,

15 And he went up thence to the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before [was] Kirjath-sepher.

eye wòwɔ aʋa kple ame siwo nɔ Debir, du si woyɔna tsã be Kiriat Sefer la me.

16 And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjath-sepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter for a wife.

Kaleb gblɔ be yeatsɔ ye vinyɔnu Aksa na ŋutsu si awɔ aʋa aɖu Kiriat Sefer dua dzi.

17 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter for a wife.

Otniel, Kenaz ƒe vi, ame si nye Kaleb ƒe tɔɖiyɔvi la, ɖu dua dzi, ale Kaleb tsɔ via nyɔnu Aksa na Otniel wozu srɔ̃a.

18 And it came to pass, as she came [to him], that she moved him to ask of her father a field. And she lighted off [her] ass; and Caleb said to her, What wouldst thou?

Esi Otniel kple Ahsa dze mɔ yina woƒe nɔƒe la, Ahsa gblɔ na Otniel be yeabia anyigba ye fofo kpe ɖe esi wòna ye xoxo la ŋu. Ale wòɖi le eƒe tedzi dzi be yeaƒo nu kple ye fofo, Kaleb, tso eŋuti. Kaleb biae be, “Nu kae hiã wò?”

19 Who answered, Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a south land, give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs, and the nether springs.

Axsa ɖo eŋu be, “Na nu bubu aɖem, elabena anyigba si nènam la nye gbegbe sɔŋ! Na teƒe si tsi le lam.” Ale Kaleb tsɔ tsivudo si le to dzi kple balime la nɛ.
