Joshua 15

1 The lot for the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families was to the border of Edom, even to the wilderness of Zin southward, at the uttermost part of the south.

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 Their south border was from the uttermost part of the Salt Sea, from the bay that looks southward;

Dzieheliƒo sia tso Dzeƒu alo Ƒukuku la to le anyigbeme

3 and it went out southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and went up by the south of Kadesh Barnea, and passed along by Hezron, went up to Addar, and turned towards Karka;

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 and it passed along to Azmon, went out at the brook of Egypt; and the border ended at the sea. This shall be your south border.

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

5 The east border was the Salt Sea, even to the end of the Jordan. The border of the north quarter was from the bay of the sea at the end of the 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 The border went up to Beth Hoglah, 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 The border went up to Debir from the valley of Achor, and so northward, looking towards Gilgal, that faces the ascent of Adummim, which is on the south side of the river. The border passed along to the waters of En Shemesh, and ended 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 The border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom to the side of the Jebusite (also called Jerusalem) southward; and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lies before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the farthest part of the valley of Rephaim 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 The border extended from the top of the mountain to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of Mount Ephron; and the border extended to Baalah (also called Kiriath 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 turned about from Baalah westward to Mount Seir, and passed along to the side of Mount Jearim (also called Chesalon) on the north, and went down to Beth Shemesh, and passed along by 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 extended to Shikkeron, and passed along to Mount Baalah, and went out at Jabneel; and the goings out 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 The west border was to the shore of the great sea. This is the border of the children of Judah 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 He gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh a portion amongst the children of Judah, according to the commandment of the LORD to Joshua, even Kiriath Arba, named after the father of Anak (also called 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 Caleb drove out 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 He went up against the inhabitants of Debir: now the name of Debir before was Kiriath Sepher.

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

16 Caleb said, “He who strikes Kiriath Sepher, and takes it, to him I will give Achsah my daughter as wife.”

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

17 Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter as 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 When she came, she had him ask her father for a field. She got off her donkey, and Caleb said, “What do you want?”

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 She said, “Give me a blessing. Because you have set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water.” So he gave her the upper springs and the lower 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.

20 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families.
