< Josué 15 >

1 La part échue par le sort à la tribu des fils de Juda, selon leurs familles, s’étendait vers la frontière d’Édom, jusqu’au désert de Tsin, au midi, à l’extrémité méridionale.
And the lot for the tribe of the sons of Judah according to their families was to the border of Edom, even to the wilderness of Zin southward, at the outermost part of the south.
2 Ainsi, leur limite méridionale partait de l’extrémité de la mer Salée, de la langue qui fait face au sud.
And their south border was from the outermost part of the Salt Sea, from the bay that looks southward.
3 Elle se prolongeait au midi de la montée d’Akrabbim, passait par Tsin, et montait au midi de Kadès-Barnéa; elle passait de là par Hetsron, montait vers Addar, et tournait à Karkaa;
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, and went up to Addar, and turned about to Karka,
4 elle passait ensuite par Atsmon, et continuait jusqu’au torrent d’Égypte, pour aboutir à la mer. Ce sera votre limite au midi.
and it passed along to Azmon, and went out at the brook of Egypt. And the goings out of the border were at the sea. This shall be your south border.
5 La limite orientale était la mer Salée jusqu’à l’embouchure du Jourdain. La limite septentrionale partait de la langue de mer qui est à l’embouchure du Jourdain.
And the east border was the Salt Sea, even to the end of the Jordan. And the border of the north quarter was from the bay of the sea at the end of the Jordan,

and 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,
7 elle montait à Debir, à quelque distance de la vallée d’Acor, et se dirigeait vers le nord du côté de Guilgal, qui est vis-à-vis de la montée d’Adummim au sud du torrent. Elle passait près des eaux d’En-Schémesch, et se prolongeait jusqu’à En-Roguel.
and the border went up to Debir from the valley of Achor, and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, that is opposite the ascent of Adummim, which is on the south side of the river, and the border passed along to the waters of En-shemesh. And the goings out of it were at En-rogel,
8 Elle montait de là par la vallée de Ben-Hinnom au côté méridional de Jebus, qui est Jérusalem, puis s’élevait jusqu’au sommet de la montagne, qui est devant la vallée de Hinnom à l’occident, et à l’extrémité de la vallée des Rephaïm au nord.
and the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom to the side of the Jebusite southward (the same is Jerusalem), and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lies before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the outermost part of the vale of Rephaim northward,
9 Du sommet de la montagne elle s’étendait jusqu’à la source des eaux de Nephthoach, continuait vers les villes de la montagne d’Éphron, et se prolongeait par Baala, qui est Kirjath-Jearim.
and the border extended from the top of the mountain to the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of mount Ephron, and the border extended to Baalah (the same is Kiriath-jearim),
10 De Baala elle tournait à l’occident vers la montagne de Séir, traversait le côté septentrional de la montagne de Jearim, à Kesalon, descendait à Beth-Schémesch, et passait par Thimna.
and the border turned about from Baalah westward to mount Seir, and passed along to the side of mount Jearim on the north (the same is Chesalon), and went down to Beth-shemesh, and passed along by Timnah,
11 Elle continuait sur le côté septentrional d’Ékron, s’étendait vers Schicron, passait par la montagne de Baala, et se prolongeait jusqu’à Jabneel, pour aboutir à la mer.
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.
12 La limite occidentale était la grande mer. Telles furent de tous les côtés les limites des fils de Juda, selon leurs familles.
And the west border was to the great sea, and the border of it. This is the border of the sons of Judah round about according to their families.
13 On donna à Caleb, fils de Jephunné, une part au milieu des fils de Juda, comme l’Éternel l’avait ordonné à Josué; on lui donna Kirjath-Arba, qui est Hébron: Arba était le père d’Anak.
And to Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a portion among the sons of Judah, according to the commandment of Jehovah to Joshua, even Kiriath-arba. Arba was the father of Anak (the same is Hebron).
14 Caleb en chassa les trois fils d’Anak: Schéschaï, Ahiman et Talmaï, enfants d’Anak.
And Caleb drove out from there the three sons of Anak: Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the sons of Anak.
15 De là il monta contre les habitants de Debir: Debir s’appelait autrefois Kirjath-Sépher.
And he went up from there against the inhabitants of Debir. Now the name of Debir formerly was Kiriath-sepher.
16 Caleb dit: Je donnerai ma fille Acsa pour femme à celui qui battra Kirjath-Sépher et qui la prendra.
And Caleb said, He who smites Kiriath-sepher, and takes it, to him I will give Achsah my daughter to wife.
17 Othniel, fils de Kenaz, frère de Caleb, s’en empara; et Caleb lui donna pour femme sa fille Acsa.
And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it, and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.
18 Lorsqu’elle fut entrée chez Othniel, elle le sollicita de demander à son père un champ. Elle descendit de dessus son âne, et Caleb lui dit: Qu’as-tu?
And it came to pass, when she came, that she moved him to ask of her father a field. And she alighted from off her donkey, and Caleb said, What would thou?
19 Elle répondit: Fais-moi un présent, car tu m’as donné une terre du midi; donne-moi aussi des sources d’eau. Et il lui donna les sources supérieures et les sources inférieures.
And she said, Give me a blessing, because thou have set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs and the nether springs.
