Now the allotment for the clans of the tribe of Judah extended to the border of Edom, to the Wilderness of Zin at the extreme southern boundary:
2 Dzieheliƒo sia tso Dzeƒu alo Ƒukuku la to le anyigbeme
Their southern border started at the bay on the southern tip of the Salt Sea,

It proceeded to Azmon, joined the Brook of Egypt, and ended at the Sea. This was their southern border.

The eastern border was the Salt Sea as far as the mouth of the Jordan. The northern border started from the bay of the sea at the mouth of the Jordan,

Then the border went up to Debir from the Valley of Achor, turning north to Gilgal, which faces the Ascent of Adummim south of the ravine. It continued along the waters of En-shemesh and came out at En-rogel.

From there the border went up the Valley of Hinnom along the southern slope of the Jebusites (that is, Jerusalem) and ascended to the top of the hill that faces the Valley of Hinnom on the west, at the northern end of the Valley of Rephaim.
9 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)
From the hilltop the border curved to the spring of the Waters of Nephtoah, proceeded to the cities of Mount Ephron, and then bent around toward Baalah (that is, Kiriath-jearim).
10 ɖo ta Edom ƒe to Seir gbɔ, yi Yearim to alo Kesalon ƒe dzigbeme, yi Bet Semes heto Timna ŋu.
The border curled westward from Baalah to Mount Seir, ran along the northern slope of Mount Jearim (that is, Chesalon), went down to Beth-shemesh, and crossed to Timnah.
11 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.
Then it went out to the northern slope of Ekron, curved toward Shikkeron, proceeded to Mount Baalah, went on to Jabneel, and ended at the Sea.
12 Ke ɣetoɖoƒeliƒo enye ƒu gã la kple eŋu nyigbawo. Esia nye Yudaviwo ƒe liƒo godoo va kpe le woƒe ƒomeawo nu.
And the western border was the coastline of the Great Sea. These are the boundaries around the clans of the descendants of Judah.
13 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.
According to the LORD’s command to him, Joshua gave Caleb son of Jephunneh a portion among the sons of Judah—Kiriath-arba, that is, Hebron. (Arba was the forefather of Anak.)
14 Esia ta Kaleb nya Anak ƒe vi etɔ̃awo, Talmai, Sesai kple Ahiman ƒe dzidzimeviwo le anyigba la dzi,
And Caleb drove out from there the three sons of Anak—the descendants of Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.
15 eye wòwɔ aʋa kple ame siwo nɔ Debir, du si woyɔna tsã be Kiriat Sefer la me.
From there he marched against the inhabitants of Debir (formerly known as Kiriath-sepher).
16 Kaleb gblɔ be yeatsɔ ye vinyɔnu Aksa na ŋutsu si awɔ aʋa aɖu Kiriat Sefer dua dzi.
And Caleb said, “To the man who strikes down Kiriath-sepher and captures it, I will give my daughter Acsah in marriage.”
17 Otniel, Kenaz ƒe vi, ame si nye Kaleb ƒe tɔɖiyɔvi la, ɖu dua dzi, ale Kaleb tsɔ via nyɔnu Aksa na Otniel wozu srɔ̃a.
So Othniel son of Caleb’s brother Kenaz captured the city, and Caleb gave his daughter Acsah to him in marriage.
18 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?”
One day Acsah came to Othniel and urged him to ask her father for a field. When she got off her donkey, Caleb asked her, “What do you desire?”
19 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.
“Give me a blessing,” she answered. “Since you have given me land in the Negev, give me springs of water as well.” So Caleb gave her both the upper and lower springs.
