Josué 15
1 Ce fut ici le sort de la Tribu des enfants de Juda selon leurs familles. Aux confins d'Edom, le désert de Tsin vers le Midi, fut le dernier bout [de leurs pays] vers le Midi.
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 Tellement que leur frontière du côté du Midi fut le dernier bout de la mer salée, depuis le bras qui regarde vers 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 elle devait sortir vers le Midi de la montée de Hakrabbim, et passer à Tsin; et, montant du Midi de Kadès-barné passer à Hetsron; puis montant vers Addar se tourner vers Karkah;
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 Puis passant vers Hatsmon, sortir au torrent d'Egypte; tellement que les extrémités, de cette frontière devaient se rendre à la mer. Ce sera là, [dit Josué], votre frontière du côté 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 Et la frontière vers l'Orient sera la mer salée jusqu'au bout du Jourdain; et la frontière du côté du Septentrion sera depuis le bras de la mer, qui est au bout 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 Et cette frontière montera jusqu'à Bethhogla, et passera du côté du Septentrion de Bethharaba; et cette frontière montera 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 Puis cette frontière montera vers Débir, depuis la vallée de Hacor, même vers le Septentrion, regardant Guilgal; laquelle est vis-à-vis de la montée d Adummim, qui est au Midi du torrent; puis cette frontière passera vers les eaux de Hen-semès, et ses extrémités se rendront à Hen-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 Puis cette frontière montera par la vallée du fils de Hinnom, jusqu'au côté de Jébusi vers le Midi, qui est Jérusalem; puis cette frontière montera jusqu'au sommet de la montagne, qui est vis-à-vis de la vallée de Hinnom, vers l'Occident, [et] qui est au bout de la vallée des Réphaïms, vers le Septentrion.
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 Et cette frontière s'alignera depuis le sommet de la montagne jusqu'à la fontaine des eaux de Nephtoah, et sortira vers les villes de la montagne de Héphron; puis cette frontière s'alignera à Bahala, qui est Kirjath-jéharim.
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 Et cette frontière se tournera depuis Bahala vers l'Occident, jusqu'à la montagne de Séhir; puis elle passera jusqu'au côté de la montagne de Jeharim vers le Septentrion, qui [est] Késalon; puis descendant à Beth-semes, elle passera à Timna.
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 Et cette frontière sortira jusqu'au côté de Hekron, vers le Septentrion, et cette frontière s'alignera vers Sikkeron; puis ayant passé la montagne de Bahala, elle sortira à Jabnéël; tellement que les extrémités de cette frontière se rendront 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 Or la frontière du côté de l'Occident sera ce qui est vers la grande mer, et ses limites. Ce furent les frontières des enfants de Juda de tous les côtés, 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 Au reste on avait donné à Caleb, fils de Jéphunné, une portion au milieu des enfants de Juda, suivant le commandement de l'Eternel fait à Josué, [savoir] Kirjath-Arbah, [or Arbah était] père de Hanak; [et Kirjath-Arbah] c'est 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 déposséda de là les trois fils de Hanak, [savoir] Sesaï, Ahiman, et Talmaï, enfants de Hanak.
Caleb forced the three clans of the Anak people-group to leave Hebron. Those were the Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai clans.
15 Et de là il monta vers les habitants de Débir, dont le nom était auparavant Kirjath-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: Je donnerai ma fille Hacsa pour femme à celui qui battra Kirjath-sépher, et 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 Et Hothniel fils de Kénaz, frère de Caleb, la prit; et [Caleb] lui donna sa fille Hacsa pour femme.
Othniel, the son of Caleb’s brother Kenaz, captured the city. So Caleb gave his daughter to him.
18 Et il arriva que comme elle s'en allait, elle l'incita à demander à son père un champ; puis elle descendit impétueusement 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 Et elle répondit: Donne-moi un présent; puisque tu m'as donné une terre sèche, donne-moi aussi des sources d'eau. Et il lui donna les fontaines de dessus et les fontaines de dessous.
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 C'est ici l'héritage de la Tribu des enfants de Juda selon leurs familles.
