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.
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 Ainsi, leur limite méridionale partait de l’extrémité de la mer Salée, de la langue qui fait face au sud.
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 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;
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 elle passait ensuite par Atsmon, et continuait jusqu’au torrent d’Égypte, pour aboutir à la mer. Ce sera votre limite au 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 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.
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 Elle montait vers Beth-Hogla, passait au nord de Beth-Araba, et s’élevait jusqu’à la pierre de Bohan, 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 La limite occidentale était la grande mer. Telles furent de tous les côtés les limites des fils de Juda, selon leurs 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 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.
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 Caleb en chassa les trois fils d’Anak: Schéschaï, Ahiman et Talmaï, enfants d’Anak.
Caleb forced the three clans of the Anak people-group to leave Hebron. Those were the Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai clans.
15 De là il monta contre les habitants de Debir: Debir s’appelait autrefois Kirjath-Sépher.
Then Caleb left there and went to fight against the people living in Debir [city], which was previously named Kiriath-Sepher.
16 Caleb dit: Je donnerai ma fille Acsa pour femme à celui qui battra Kirjath-Sépher et qui la prendra.
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 Othniel, fils de Kenaz, frère de Caleb, s’en empara; et Caleb lui donna pour femme sa fille Acsa.
Othniel, the son of Caleb’s brother Kenaz, captured the city. So Caleb gave his daughter to him.
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?
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 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.
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].
20 Tel fut l’héritage des fils de Juda, selon leurs familles.
