Joshua 15
1 Naguo bũrũri ũrĩa wagaĩirwo mũhĩrĩga wa Juda, kũringana na ũrĩa mbarĩ ciao ciatariĩ, wakinyĩte o mũhaka-inĩ wa bũrũri wa Edomu, o na ũgakinya werũ-inĩ wa Zini gĩturi-inĩ kĩa mwena ũcio wa gũthini.
And so, the lot of the sons of Judah, by their families, was this: from the border of Edom, to the desert of Sin toward the south, and even to the furthest part of the southern region.
2 Mũhaka wao wa mwena wa gũthini wambĩrĩire gĩcongoco-inĩ kĩa mwena wa gũthini kĩa Iria rĩa Cumbĩ,
Its beginning was from the summit of the very salty sea, and from its bay, which looks toward the south.
3 mũhaka ũcio ũkahĩtũkĩra mwena wa gũthini wa Mwanya wa Akirabimu, ũgathiĩ na mbere o nginya Zini, na ũkambatĩrĩra na mwena wa gũthini wa Kadeshi-Barinea. Ningĩ ũgathiĩ wĩgiritanĩtie na Hezironi, ũkambata ũgakinya Adari, ningĩ ũkarigiicũka ũgakinya Karika.
And it extends toward the ascent of the Scorpion, and it passes on to Sinai. And it ascends into Kadesh-barnea, and it passes through to Hezron, ascending to Addar, and encompassing Karka.
4 Ningĩ wacookete ũgathiĩ o ro ũguo nginya Azimoni, ũkoimĩrĩra karũũĩ ka bũrũri wa Misiri, ũkarĩkĩrĩria iria-inĩ. Ũyũ nĩguo mũhaka wao wa mwena wa gũthini.
And from there, it passes on to Azmon, and reaches to the torrent of Egypt. And its boundary shall be the great sea; this shall be the limit of the southern region.
5 Mũhaka wa mwena wa irathĩro warĩ Iria rĩa Cumbĩ nginya mũthia wa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani. Naguo mũhaka wa mwena wa gathigathini wambĩrĩirie gĩcongoco-inĩ kĩa iria mũthia-inĩ wa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani,
Yet truly, toward the east, the beginning shall be the very salty sea, even to the limit of the Jordan, and that which looks toward the north, from the bay of the sea, even to the same river Jordan.
6 ũkambatĩrĩra nginya Bethi-Hogila, na ũgathiĩ ũhĩtũkĩire mwena wa gathigathini wa Bethi-Araba, na ũkambata ũgakinya Ihiga-inĩ rĩa Bohani mũrũ wa Rubeni.
And the border ascends into Beth-hoglah, and it crosses from the north into Beth-Arabah, ascending to the stone of Bohan, the son of Reuben.
7 Ningĩ mũhaka ũcio wacookete ũkambata nginya Debiri uumĩte Gĩtuamba kĩa Akori, ũgacooka ũkerekera gathigathini o nginya itũũra-inĩ rĩa Giligali, rĩrĩa rĩangʼethanĩire na Mwanya wa Adumimu, mwena wa gũthini wa mũkuru ũcio. Wacookete ũgathiĩ na mbere ũgakinya maaĩ-inĩ ma Eni-Shemeshu, na ũkoimĩrĩra o kũu Eni-Rogeli.
And it reaches as far as the borders of Debara, from the Valley of Achor, to the north, looking toward Gilgal, which is opposite the Ascent of Adummim, on the southern part of the torrent. And it crosses the waters that are called the Fountain of the Sun. And its exit shall be at the Fountain of Rogel.
8 Ningĩ ũkambatania na Gĩtuamba kĩa Beni-Hinomu ũikũrũkanĩtie na kĩharũrũka kĩa mwena wa gũthini wa itũũra inene rĩa Mũjebusi (na nĩrĩo Jerusalemu). Kuuma hau ũkambata nginya gacũmbĩrĩ ga karĩma karĩa karĩ mwena wa ithũĩro wa Gĩtuamba kĩa Hinomu o kũu mũthia wa gathigathini wa Gĩtuamba kĩa Refaimu.
And it ascends by the steep valley of the son of Hinnom, from the side of the Jebusite, toward the south; this is Jerusalem. And from there, it raises itself to the top of the mountain, which is opposite Geennom to the west, at the top of the Valley of the Rephaim, to the north.
9 Kuuma gacũmbĩrĩ ga karĩma mũhaka ũcio werekeire gĩthima kĩa maaĩ ma Nefitoa, ũkiumĩrĩra matũũra-inĩ ma kĩrĩma kĩa Efironi, na ũgaikũrũka ũgakinya Baala (na nokuo Kiriathu-Jearimu).
And it passes through, from the top of the mountain, even to the fountain of the Water of Nephtoah. And it continues on, as far as the villages of mount Ephron. And it inclines toward Baalah, which is Kiriath-jearim, that is, the City of Forests.
10 Ningĩ mũhaka ũcio ũkarigiicũka na mwena wa ithũĩro uumĩte Baala ũgakinya Kĩrĩma kĩa Seiru, ũgacooka ũgaaikũrũkania na kĩharũrũka kĩa mwena wa gathigathini wa kĩrĩma gĩa Jearimu (nĩkĩo Kesaloni), ũgathiĩ na mbere ũikũrũkĩte nginya Bethi-Shemeshu, na ũgakĩra nginya Timina.
And it circles from Baalah, to the west, as far as mount Seir. And it passes by the side of mount Jearim, to the north, into Chesalon. And it descends into Beth-shemesh, and it passes through to Timnah.
11 Ningĩ mũhaka ũcio ũkoima hau, ũgathiĩ nginya kĩharũrũka-inĩ kĩa mwena wa gathigathini wa Ekironi, ũkehiũria werekeire Shikeroni, ũkahĩtũka, ũgathiĩ kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Baala, na ũgakinya Jabuneeli. Mũhaka ũcio wathirĩire o iria-inĩ.
And it continues on, toward the north, to a region beside Ekron. And it inclines toward Shikkeron, and it crosses to mount Baalah. And it extends into Jabneel, and the last part closes at the west with the great sea.
12 Naguo mũhaka wa mwena wa ithũĩro wegiritanĩtie na hũgũrũrũ cia Iria rĩrĩa Inene. Ĩyo nĩyo mĩhaka ĩrĩa yathiũrũrũkĩirie andũ a mũhĩrĩga wa Juda, o ta ũrĩa mbarĩ ciao ciatariĩ.
These are the borders of the sons of Judah, in their families, on all sides.
13 O ta ũrĩa Jehova aamwathĩte-rĩ, Joshua nĩaheire Kalebu wa Jefune igai thĩinĩ wa mũhĩrĩga wa Juda, akĩheo Kiriathu-Ariba, na nokuo Hebironi. (Ariba nĩwe warĩ ithe wa Anaki).
Yet truly, to Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, he gave a portion in the midst of the sons of Judah, just as the Lord had instructed him: the City of Arba, the father of Anak, which is Hebron.
14 Nake Kalebu akĩingata Anaki arĩa atatũ kuuma Hebironi, nĩo Sheshai, na Ahimani, na Talimai, arĩa njiaro cia Anaki.
And Caleb destroyed from it the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, of the stock of Anak.
15 Ningĩ agĩcooka agĩthiĩ kũrũa na andũ arĩa maatũũraga itũũra inene rĩa Debiri (kũrĩa tene gwetagwo Kiriathu-Sefari.)
And ascending further from there, he came to the inhabitants of Debir, which before was called Kiriath-Sepher, that is, the City of Letters.
16 Nake Kalebu akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũrĩa ugũtharĩkĩra na atunyane Kiriathu-Sefari, ũcio nĩwe ngũhe mwarĩ wakwa Akisa, amũhikie.”
And Caleb said, “Whoever will have struck down Kiriath-Sepher, and will have seized it, I will give to him Achsah, my daughter, as wife.”
17 Nake Othinieli mũrũ wa Kenazu, mũrũ wa ithe na Kalebu, nĩwe watunyanire itũũra rĩu; nĩ ũndũ ũcio Kalebu akĩmũhe mwarĩ Akisa atuĩke mũtumia wake.
And Othniel, the son of Kenaz, the younger brother of Caleb, seized it. And he gave him Achsah, his daughter, as wife.
18 Mũthenya ũmwe rĩrĩa Akisa aathiire kũrĩ Othinieli-rĩ, akĩringĩrĩria Akisa ahooe mũgũnda kũrĩ ithe Kalebu. Aarĩkia kuuma igũrũ rĩa ndigiri yake, Kalebu akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũkwenda ngwĩkĩre atĩa?”
And as they were traveling together, she was urged by her husband that she ask her father for a field. And she sighed, as she was sitting on her donkey. And Caleb said to her, “What is it?”
19 Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ndagũthaitha ũndathime. Tondũ nĩũũheete bũrũri wa Negevu, he ithima cia maaĩ o nacio.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Kalebu akĩmũhe ithima cia mwena wa rũgongo na cia mwena wa kĩanda.
But she answered: “Give a blessing to me. You have given to me a southern and dry land; join to it also a watered land.” And so Caleb gave to her the watered land above and below it.
20 Rĩĩrĩ nĩrĩo igai rĩa mũhĩrĩga wa Juda, kũringana na ũrĩa mbarĩ ciao ciatariĩ.
This is the possession of the tribe of the sons of Judah, by their families.
