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.
This was the land allotted to the tribe of Judah, by families: it stretched south to the border of Edom, to the wilderness of Zin in the far south.
2 Mũhaka wao wa mwena wa gũthini wambĩrĩire gĩcongoco-inĩ kĩa mwena wa gũthini kĩa Iria rĩa Cumbĩ,
Their boundary began at the end of the Salt Sea—the bay that faces 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 then went south of Scorpion Pass through the wilderness of Zin, then heading south from Kadesh-barnea to Hezron. From there it went up to Addar and then turned towards 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.
passing through Azmon and out to the Wadi of Egypt, ending at the sea. This was their southern border.
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,
The eastern border of Judah was the Salt Sea, up to where the Jordan River ends. The northern boundary ran from the northern bay of the sea where the Jordan ends
6 ũkambatĩrĩra nginya Bethi-Hogila, na ũgathiĩ ũhĩtũkĩire mwena wa gathigathini wa Bethi-Araba, na ũkambata ũgakinya Ihiga-inĩ rĩa Bohani mũrũ wa Rubeni.
up to the border of Beth-hoglath, and then north of Beth-arabah to the Stone of Bohan (Reuben's son).
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.
From there it went to the border of Debir through the valley of Achor, and turned north towards Gilgal, opposite the heights of Adummim to the south of the valley. Then the boundary continued to the waters of En-shemesh and out to En-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.
The boundary then went through the valley of Ben-hinnom, along the southern slopes of the Jebusites, (that is Jerusalem), then on up to the top of the mountain overlooking the valley of Hinnom right up to the northern end of the valley of Rephaim.
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).
From there the boundary ran from the top of the mountain to the water spring at Nephtoah and on to the towns on Mount Ephron. Then it bent towards Ballah (Kiriath-jearim).
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.
Then the boundary moved around to the west of Baalah to Mount Seir and passed along the northern slope of Mount Jearim to the town of Kesalon, down to Beth Shemesh and on 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.
The boundary then ran to the north slope of Ekron, and bent towards Shikkeron, passing Mount Baalah, out to Jabneel, and ending at the 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.
The western boundary was the coastline of the Great Sea. These were the boundaries around the tribe of Judah, by families.
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).
The Lord had instructed Joshua to allocate some land in Judah's territory to Caleb, son of Jephunneh, and so he was given the town of Kiriath-arba, or Hebron. (Arba was the father of Anak.)
14 Nake Kalebu akĩingata Anaki arĩa atatũ kuuma Hebironi, nĩo Sheshai, na Ahimani, na Talimai, arĩa njiaro cia Anaki.
Caleb drove out three family groups—Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai, descendants of Anak.
15 Ningĩ agĩcooka agĩthiĩ kũrũa na andũ arĩa maatũũraga itũũra inene rĩa Debiri (kũrĩa tene gwetagwo Kiriathu-Sefari.)
From there he went to attack the inhabitants of Debir (previously known as Kiriath-sepher).
16 Nake Kalebu akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũrĩa ugũtharĩkĩra na atunyane Kiriathu-Sefari, ũcio nĩwe ngũhe mwarĩ wakwa Akisa, amũhikie.”
Caleb announced, “Whoever attacks Kiriath-sepher and captures it, I will give him my daughter Acsah to marry.”
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.
Othniel, son of Kenaz, brother of Caleb, captured the town so Caleb gave him his daughter Acsah to marry.
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?”
When she came to him, she encouraged him to ask her father for a field. When she got off her donkey, Caleb asked her, “What do you want?”
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.
She replied, “Please give me a blessing. Since you have already given me land that's like the desert, please give me springs of water as well.” So he gave her both the upper and the lower springs.
20 Rĩĩrĩ nĩrĩo igai rĩa mũhĩrĩga wa Juda, kũringana na ũrĩa mbarĩ ciao ciatariĩ.
