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 borders of the tribe of Juda according to their families were from the borders of Idumea from the wilderness of sin, as far as Cades southward.

2 Ainsi, leur limite méridionale partait de l’extrémité de la mer Salée, de la langue qui fait face au sud.

And their borders were from the south as far as a part of the salt sea from the high country that extends 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 they proceed before the ascent of Acrabin, and go out round Sena, and go up from the south to Cades Barne; and go out to Asoron, and proceed up to Sarada, and go out by the way that is west of Cades.

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 they go out to Selmona, and issue at the valley of Egypt; and the termination of its boundaries shall be at the sea: these are their boundaries southward.

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 their boundaries eastward [are] all the salt sea as far as Jordan; and their borders from the north, and from the border of the sea, and from part of Jordan—

6 Elle montait vers Beth-Hogla, passait au nord de Beth-Araba, et s’élevait jusqu’à la pierre de Bohan, fils de Ruben;

the borders go up to Baethaglaam, and they go along from the north to Baetharaba, and the borders go on up to the stone of Baeon the son of Ruben.

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 borders continue on to the fourth part of the valley of Achor, and go down to Galgal, which is before the approach of Adammin, which is southward in the valley, and terminate at the water of the fountain of the sun; and their going forth shall be the fountain of 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 borders go up to the valley of Ennom, behind Jebus southward; this is Jerusalem: and the borders terminate at the top of the mountain, which is before the valley of Ennom towards the sea, which is by the side of the land of Raphain 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 [going forth] from the top of the mountain terminates at the fountain of the water of Naphtho, and terminates at mount Ephron; and the border will lead to Baal; this is the city of Jarim.

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 will go round from Baal to the sea, and will go on to the mount of Assar behind the city of Jarin northwards; this is Chaslon: and it will come down to the city of Sun, and will go on to the south.

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 terminates behind Accaron northward, and the borders will terminate at Socchoth, and the borders will go on to the south, and will terminate at Lebna, and the issue of the borders will be at the sea; and their borders [shall be] towards the sea, the great sea shall be the boundary.

12 La limite occidentale était la grande mer. Telles furent de tous les côtés les limites des fils de Juda, selon leurs familles.

These [are] the borders of the children of Juda 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 Chaleb the son of Jephone he gave a portion in the midst of the children of Juda by the command of God; and Joshua gave him the city of Arboc the metropolis of Enac; this is Chebron.

14 Caleb en chassa les trois fils d’Anak: Schéschaï, Ahiman et Talmaï, enfants d’Anak.

And Chaleb the son of Jephone destroyed thence the three sons of Enac, Susi, and Tholami, and Achima.

15 De là il monta contre les habitants de Debir: Debir s’appelait autrefois Kirjath-Sépher.

And Chaleb went up thence to the inhabitants of Dabir; and the name of Dabir before was the city of Letters.

16 Caleb dit: Je donnerai ma fille Acsa pour femme à celui qui battra Kirjath-Sépher et qui la prendra.

And Chaleb said, Whosoever shall take and destroy the city of Letters, and master it, to him will I give my daughter Ascha to wife.

17 Othniel, fils de Kenaz, frère de Caleb, s’en empara; et Caleb lui donna pour femme sa fille Acsa.

And Gothoniel the son of Chenez the brother of Chaleb took it; and he gave him Ascha 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 as she went out that she counselled him, saying, I will ask of my father a field; and she cried from off her ass; and Chaleb said to her, What is it?

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 to him, Give me a blessing, for you have set me in the land of Nageb; give me Botthanis: and he gave her Gonaethla the upper, and Gonaethla the lower.

20 Tel fut l’héritage des fils de Juda, selon leurs familles.
