Josué 15
1 Et les limites de la tribu de Juda, par familles, s'étendent au midi des confins de l'Idumée et du désert de Sin jusqu'à Cadès.
The land that was allotted to the tribe of Judah was divided among its clans. That land extended south along the border of the Edom region, as far as the Zin Desert.
2 Puis, elles vont du côté du midi jusqu'aux bords de la mer Salée, du côté de la colline qui regarde le midi.
The southern border of the land that was allotted to the tribe of Judah started at the south end of the Dead Sea [and extended west].
3 Et ensuite, elles passent devant les hauteurs d'Acrabin; elles contournent Séna; elles montent au midi de Cadès-Barné, elles sortent d'Asoron et montent à Sérada pour aller à l'occident de Cadès.
It extended south of Scorpion Pass to Zin [Desert], and from there west to a place south of Kadesh-Barnea, past Hezron [town], to Addar [town], and from there it turned [northwest] to Karka [town].
4 Et elles sortent de Selmona; puis, elles traversent le pays jusqu'au torrent d'Egypte, et finissent à la mer. Telles sont les limites de Juda du coté du midi.
From there it continued to Azmon, and from there to the dry riverbed on the border of Egypt, and from there [west] to the [Mediterranean] Sea. That was the southern border.
5 A l'orient, Juda a pour limite toute la mer Salée jusqu'au Jourdain. Et au nord, en partant du Jourdain et des collines de la mer Salée,
The eastern border of the land of the tribe of Judah was the Dead Sea, and it extended [north] to [where the Jordan River ends at] the Dead Sea.
6 Ses limites montent vers Bethaglaam; elles passent au nord de Betharaba; elles montent sur la roche de Béon, fils de Ruben;
The northern border started where the Jordan River ends at the Dead Sea. It extended [north] to Beth-Hoglah [town], and from there it extended north of Beth-Arabah [town] to the [big] stone [set up by] Reuben’s son Bohan.
7 Elles côtoient le quart de la vallée d'Acbor; elles descendent vers Galgal, qui est en face de la colline d'Adammin au midi de la vallée; elles traversent les eaux de la fontaine du Soleil, elles aboutissent à la fontaine de Rhogel.
From there the border continued west through Achor Valley to Debir [city]. From there it turned north to Gilgal [city]. Gilgal is north of the road that goes through Adummim Pass, on the south side of the valley. From Gilgal the border extended west to the springs at En-Shemesh, and from there to En-Rogel.
8 Elles remontent ensuite la vallée d'Ennom, au-dessus de Jébus, la même que Jérusalem, qu'elles laissent au midi; puis, elles passent sur la cime des monts qui sont au couchant en face de la vallée d'Ennom, et au nord sur les confins de la contrée de Raphaïm.
From there it extended through Ben-Hinnom Valley, south of the city where the Jebus people-group lived. (That city is now named Jerusalem.) From there the border extended to the top of the hill on the west side of Hinnom Valley, at the northern end of the valley where the Repha [giants] lived.
9 De ces sommités, la limite traverse les eaux de la fontaine Naphtho, puis le mont Ephron, d'où elle descend en Baala, la même que Cariathiarim.
From there the border extended [northwest] to Nephtoah Spring, and from there to the cities near Ephron Mountain. From there the border extended [west] toward Baalah, which is now named Kiriath-Jearim.
10 Elle tourne au sortir de Baala vers l'occident; elle côtoie le mont Assa au nord, au-dessus de la ville d'Iarin, la même que Chaslon; elle descend vers la Ville du Soleil, qu'elle laisse au nord.
Then the border extended further west to Seir Mountain. Then it continued [southwest] along the north side of Jearim Mountain, which is also named Kesalon, to Beth-Shemesh [city]. From there it extended [northwest] past Timnah [city],
11 Ensuite, elle passe au nord au-dessus d'Accaron; puis, elle traverse Soccboth; puis, elle incline au midi; puis, elle passe vers Lebna, où elle finit à l'occident.
to the hill north of Ekron [city]. From there it extended [west] to Shikkeron [town] and past Baalah Mountain to Jabneel [town], then [northwest] to the [Mediterranean] Sea.
12 Et à l'occident la tribu de Juda a pour limite la grande mer elle-même. Telles sont les frontières qui entourent la tribu de Juda par familles.
The western border of the land that was allotted to the tribe of Judah was the Mediterranean Sea. All the clans of Judah lived inside those borders.
13 Et à Caleb, fils de Jephoné, il fut donné une part, au milieu des fils de Juda, par ordre du Seigneur; Josué lui donna la ville d'Arboc, métropole d'Enac, la même qu'Hébron.
Yahweh commanded Joshua to give part of the land for the tribe of Judah to Caleb. So he gave to Caleb Kiriath-Arba [city], which is now named Hebron. (Arba was the ancestor of the Anak people-group.)
14 Et Caleb, fils de Jephoné, y extermina les trois fils d'Enac: Susi, Tholami et Achima.
Caleb forced the three clans of the Anak people-group to leave Hebron. Those were the Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai clans.
15 De là, Caleb partit pour attaquer les habitants de Dabir, qui était autrefois la Ville des Lettres (Cariath-Sépher).
Then Caleb left there and went to fight against the people living in Debir [city], which was previously named Kiriath-Sepher.
16 Et Caleb dit: Celui qui prendra et réduira la Ville des Lettres et s'en rendra maître, je lui donnerai pour femme ma fille Ascha.
Caleb said, “If someone attacks [the people in] Kiriath-Sepher and captures their city, I will give my daughter Acsah to him to be his wife.”
17 Et Gothoniel, fils de Cénez, de la famille de Caleb, prit la ville, et Caleb lui donna pour femme sa fille Ascha.
Othniel, the son of Caleb’s brother Kenaz, captured the city. So Caleb gave his daughter to him.
18 Pendant qu'elle s'en allait, elle se concerta avec lui, disant: Je demanderai un champ à mon père, et montée sur son âne elle cria, et Caleb lui dit: Qu'as-tu?
When Caleb’s daughter married Othniel, she told him to ask her father to give her a field. Then Acsah went to talk with her father Caleb. As she got down from her donkey, Caleb asked her, “Do you want something?”
19 Et elle lui dit: Accorde-moi un bienfait; tu m'as donné Nageb, donne- moi en outre un pâturage; et son père lui donna, avec Gonethla haute, Gonethla inférieure.
Acsah replied, “Yes, I want you to do something for me. You have given me some land in the southern part of Canaan, [but there is no water there]. So please give me some [land that has] springs.” So Caleb gave her the upper and lower springs [near Hebron].
