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.
The assignment of land for the tribe of the people of Judah, clan by clan, extended south to the border of Edom, with the wilderness of Zin being the farthest point to the south.
2 Mũhaka wao wa mwena wa gũthini wambĩrĩire gĩcongoco-inĩ kĩa mwena wa gũthini kĩa Iria rĩa Cumbĩ,
Their border on the south ran from the end of the Salt Sea, from the bay that faces to 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.
Their boundary next went out to the south of the hill of Akrabbim and passed along to Zin, and went up south of Kadesh Barnea, along by Hezron, and up to Addar, where it turned about to 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.
It passed along to Azmon, went by the brook of Egypt, and came to its end at the sea. This was their south boundary.
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 boundary was the Salt Sea, at the mouth of the Jordan. The border on the north ran from the bay of the sea at the mouth of the 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.
It went up to Beth Hoglah and passed along north of Beth Arabah. Then it went up 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.
Then the border went up to Debir from the Valley of Achor, and so northward, turning toward Gilgal, which is opposite the hill of Adummim, which is on the south side of the valley. Then the border passed along to the springs of En Shemesh and went 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.
Then the border went up the Valley of Ben Hinnom to the south side of the Jebusite city (that is, Jerusalem). Then it went up to the top of the hill that lies over the Valley of Hinnom, on the west, which is at 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).
Then the border extended from the top of the hills to the spring of Nephtoah, and went out from there to the cities of Mount Ephron. Then the border bends around to Baalah (the same as 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 border circled around west of Baalah to Mount Seir, and passed along to the side of Mount Jearim on the north (the same as Kesalon), went down to Beth Shemesh, and crossed over 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 border went out beside the northern hill of Ekron, and then it bends around to Shikkeron and passed along to Mount Baalah, from there it went to Jabneel. The border ended 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 Great Sea and its coastline. This is the border around the tribe of Judah, clan by clan.
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).
In keeping with the commandment of Yahweh to Joshua, Joshua gave Caleb son of Jephunneh an assignment of land among the tribe of Judah, Kiriath Arba, that is, 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 from there the three sons of Anak: 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.)
He went up from there against the inhabitants of Debir (Debir used to be called Kiriath Sepher).
16 Nake Kalebu akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũrĩa ugũtharĩkĩra na atunyane Kiriathu-Sefari, ũcio nĩwe ngũhe mwarĩ wakwa Akisa, amũhikie.”
Caleb said, “The man who attacks Kiriath Sepher and captures it, to him I will give Aksah my daughter as a 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.
When Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb's brother, captured it, Caleb gave him Aksah his daughter as a 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?”
Soon after that, Aksah came to Othniel and she urged him to ask her father for a field. When she got off her donkey, Caleb said to 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.
Aksah replied, “Do me a special favor, since you have given me the land of the Negev: Also give me some springs of water.” Then Caleb gave her the upper springs and lower springs.
20 Rĩĩrĩ nĩrĩo igai rĩa mũhĩrĩga wa Juda, kũringana na ũrĩa mbarĩ ciao ciatariĩ.
This was the inheritance of the tribe of Judah, clan by clan.
