Jozye 15
1 Koulye a, tiraj osò a pou tribi fis a Juda yo selon fanmi pa yo te rive nan lizyè Édom an, desann nan sid pou rive nan dezè Tsin nan pwent ki plis nan sid la.
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 Lizyè sid la te sòti nan pwent piba nan Lamè Sale a, soti nan dlo ki vire vè sid la.
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 Konsa, li te kontinye vè sid pou rive nan pant Akrabbim nan. Li te kontinye a Tsin, li te monte vè sid a Kadès-Barnéa, e te kontinye nan Hesbron. Li te monte nan Addar e te vire tounen a Karkaa.
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 te pase vè Atsmon e te kontinye pou rive nan ti rivyè Égypte la. Konsa, lizyè a te fini nan lanmè a. Sa va lizyè sid nou.
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 Lizyè lès la te Lamè Sale a soti nan bouch larivyè Jourdain an. Epi lizyè bò kote nò a te soti nan lanmè a nan bouch Jourdain an.
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 Epi lizyè a te monte vè Beth-Hogla, li te kontinye nan kote nò a Beth-Araba, epi lizyè a te monte nan wòch Bohan nan, fis a Ruben an.
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 Lizyè a te monte vè Debir soti nan vale a Acor a e te vire bò nò a vè Guilgal ki anfas pant pou rive Adummim, ki nan sid vale a, epi lizyè a te kontinye rive jis nan dlo a En-Schémesch pou te fini nan En-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 Konsa, lizyè a te monte nan vale Ben-Hinnon rive nan pant Jebizyen nan sid (sa vle di Jérusalem), epi lizyè a te monte sou pwent mòn nan ki pi devan vale Hinnon an vè lwès, ki nan dènye pwent vale Rephaïm nan vè nò.
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 Soti nan tèt mòn nan, lizyè a te koube pou rive nan sous ki rele dlo Nephtoach e te rive devan nan vil a Mòn Éphron an, epi lizyè a te vin koube pou rive nan Baala, (sa vle di, Kirjath-Jearim).
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 Lizyè a te vire soti nan Baala vè lwès pou rive nan Mòn Séir, li te kontinye pou rive nan pant Mòn Jearim nan nò (sa vle di Kesalon). Li te desann nan Beth-Schémesch e li te pase nan Timnah.
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 Lizyè a te kontinye rive akote Ékron vè nò. Epi lizyè a te koube rive nan Schicron, li te kontinye rive jis nan Mòn Baala, li te rive nan Jabneel, e li te fè bout nan lanmè a.
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 Lizyè a nan lwès la te nan kot Gran Lamè a. Sa se lizyè ki antoure fis Juda yo selon fanmi pa yo.
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 Alò, li te bay a Caleb, fis Jephunné a, yon pòsyon pami fis Juda yo, selon kòmand a SENYÈ a vè Josué. Li te kon rele Kirjath-Arba, apre papa Anak (ki anplis kon rele, 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 Caleb te chase fè sòti la twa fis Anak yo: Schéschaï, Ahiman ak Talmaï, pitit a Anak yo.
Caleb forced the three clans of the Anak people-group to leave Hebron. Those were the Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai clans.
15 Konsa, li te monte soti la kont sila ki rete Debir yo. Debir oparavan te rele Kirjath-Sépher.
Then Caleb left there and went to fight against the people living in Debir [city], which was previously named Kiriath-Sepher.
16 Alò, Caleb te di: “Sila ki kaptire li a, mwen va bay li Acsa, fi mwen an, kòm 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 Othniel, fis a Kenaz la, frè Caleb la te kaptire li. Konsa, li te bay li Acsa, fi li a, kòm madanm.
Othniel, the son of Caleb’s brother Kenaz, captured the city. So Caleb gave his daughter to him.
18 Li te vin rive ke lè fi a te vin kote li, li te konvenk li pou mande papa li pou yon chan. Konsa, fi a te desann bourik la, e Caleb te di l: “Kisa ou vle?”
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 Epi li te di: “Beni mwen; Kòmsi, ou te ban mwen tè nan negev la, ban mwen sous dlo yo tou.” Konsa, li te ba li sous pi wo yo avèk sous 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].
