Jozye 15
1 Lè yo te tire osò a, men pòsyon tè ki vin pou moun branch fanmi Jida yo. Se tè sa a yo te separe bay chak fanmi nan branch lan pòsyon pa yo. Tè a bonè nan sid ak peyi Edon an, depi dezè Zin lan rive Kadès nan direksyon sid.
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 Fwontyè tè a konmanse nan pwent sid lanmè Sale a,
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 li pase anba pas Akrabim lan, li travèse dezè Zin, li moute pou l' pase anba Kadès Banea, li pase Ezwon, li moute Ada, li vire sou Kareka,
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 li pase Azmon, li kouri nan ravin ki sou fwontyè Lejip la jouk li rive sou lanmè a. Men limit sid tè moun Jida yo.
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 Sou bò solèy leve, lanmè Sale a te sèvi yo fwontyè rive nan lanbouchi larivyè Jouden an. Se la fwontyè nò a te konmanse.
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 Li moute Bèt-Ogla, li pase anwo Bèt araba, li rive jouk Wòch Boan. Boan, se non yonn nan pitit gason Woubenn yo.
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 Apre sa, li pase nan fon Akò, li moute jouk Debi. Li vire sou bò nò nan direksyon Gilgal, anfas pas Adoumen ki sou bò sid ravin lan. Li pase moute bò sous Anchemèch, l' al bout sou Anwogèl.
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 Apre sa, li remoute ravin Pitit Ennon an ki nan sid mòn moun Jebis yo, ki vle di Jerizalèm, li moute sou tèt mòn ki anfas ravin Ennon an, sou bò solèy kouche, nan pwent nò plenn refayim yo.
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 Li soti nan tèt mòn lan, li desann bò sous Neftoa a. Apre sa li pran direksyon mòn Efwon an, li vire sou lavil Bala (ki rele Kiriyat-Jearim tou).
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 Li soti Bala, li fè yon ti koub moute nan direksyon solèy kouche, sou mòn Seyi, li lonje flan nò mòn Jearim lan (ki rele Kisalòn tou), li desann Bètchemèch, li travèse 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 li rive sou bò nò mòn Ekwon, li vire sou Chikawon, li pase sou ti bit Bala a, li pase Jabneyèl, epi l' al bout nan lanmè.
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 Sou bò lwès la, se lanmè Mediterane a ki te sèvi yo limit. Men limit ki te fèmen pòsyon tè yo te bay tout fanmi ki nan branch fanmi Jida a.
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 Jan Seyè a te bay Jozye lòd la, yon pòsyon nan tè moun Jida yo vin pou Kalèb, pitit gason Jefoune a. Jozye ba li Kiriyat aba, kapital peyi Anak yo. (Koulye a yo rele lavil la Ebwon).
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 Kalèb mete twa pitit gason Anak yo deyò nan lavil la. Se te Chechayi, Ayiman ak Talmayi,
Caleb forced the three clans of the Anak people-group to leave Hebron. Those were the Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai clans.
15 Apre sa, li kite Ebwon, l' al atake moun lavil Debi yo. (Nan tan lontan, yo te rele lavil sa a Kiriyat-Sefè).
Then Caleb left there and went to fight against the people living in Debir [city], which was previously named Kiriath-Sepher.
16 Lè sa a, Kalèb di konsa: -Moun ki va resi kraze moun Kiriyat-Sefè yo, epi ki va pran lavil la nan men yo, m'a ba li Aksa, pitit fi mwen an, pou madanm.
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 Se pwòp frè Kalèb, Otonyèl, pitit Kenaz, ki te pran lavil la. Kalèb ba li Aksa, pitit fi li a, pou madanm.
Othniel, the son of Caleb’s brother Kenaz, captured the city. So Caleb gave his daughter to him.
18 Lè Aksa rive lakay mari l', mari a di l' poukisa li pa mande papa l' yon bon jaden. Aksa al jwenn papa l'. Desann li desann bourik li, Kalèb mande l': -Sa ki genyen, pitit mwen?
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 Aksa reponn: -Mwen vin mande ou yon favè. Ou voye m' byen lwen nan dezè Negèv la. Tanpri, ban m' kek sous kote pou m' jwenn dlo non. Se konsa Kalèb ba li Sous Dlo Anwo ak Sous Dlo Anba yo.
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 Men tout tè ki te vini pou branch fanmi Jida a. Yo separe l' bay yon pòsyon pou chak fanmi.
