1 Ala ndị a ka e nyere ndị Juda dịka ikwu dị nʼebo ahụ si dị. Ikwu ọbụla ketara ala nke ha site nʼife nza. Ala Juda gbatịrị nnọọ ruo nʼoke ala Edọm, gbatịakwa ruo nʼọzara Zin, kwụsị nʼọnụ ọnụ ndịda ọzara a.
Now the allotment for the clans of the tribe of Judah extended to the border of Edom, to the Wilderness of Zin at the extreme southern boundary:
2 Nʼakụkụ ndịda, oke ala ha malitere nʼọnụ ọnụ ndịda osimiri Nnu.
Their southern border started at the bay on the southern tip of the Salt Sea,
3 Site nʼebe akụkụ ndịda nrigo Akrabim, gafee ruo nʼọzara Zin, ma rigoo nʼakụkụ nke ndịda Kadesh Banea, gafee Hezrọn rigoruo na Aada, gba gburugburu gaa Kaka;
proceeded south of the Ascent of Akrabbim, continued on to Zin, went over to the south of Kadesh-barnea, ran past Hezron up to Addar, and curved toward Karka.
4 site nʼebe ahụ ruo Azmọn, pụọ gbasoro iyi dị nʼoke ala ndị Ijipt gagide ruo nʼosimiri Mediterenịa. Nke a bụ oke ala nʼebe ndịda.
It proceeded to Azmon, joined the Brook of Egypt, and ended at the Sea. This was their southern border.
5 Oke ala ha nʼọwụwa anyanwụ bụ oke osimiri Nnu, ruo nʼọnụ mmiri osimiri Jọdan. Oke ala ha nʼakụkụ ugwu bidoro nʼọnụ mmiri osimiri Jọdan,
The eastern border was the Salt Sea as far as the mouth of the Jordan. The northern border started from the bay of the sea at the mouth of the Jordan,
6 gbatịrị ruo Bet-Hogla, ma ruo nʼugwu Bet-Araba, rukwaa na nkume Bohan, nwa Ruben.
went up to Beth-hoglah, proceeded north of Beth-arabah, and went up to the Stone of Bohan son of Reuben.
7 Site nʼebe ahụ, ọ gbatịrị ruo na Ndagwurugwu Akọ na Debịa, tụgharịa gbatịrịkwa ruo Gilgal, na ncherita ihu ala ala Adumim nke dị nʼakụkụ ndịda ndagwurugwu ahụ. Site nʼebe ahụ ọ gbatịrị ruo na mmiri En-Shemesh, kwụsị na En-Rogel.
Then the border went up to Debir from the Valley of Achor, turning north to Gilgal, which faces the Ascent of Adummim south of the ravine. It continued along the waters of En-shemesh and came out at En-rogel.
8 Oke ala ahụ gbagoro Ndagwurugwu nke Ben Hinom, rukwaa nʼakụkụ ndịda Jebus nʼebe e wuru obodo Jerusalem. Oke ala ahụ sitekwara ebe ahụ gbagoo ruo nʼelu dị nʼakụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ nke Ndagwurugwu Hinom, na nsọtụ ugwu nke Ndagwurugwu Refaim.
From there the border went up the Valley of Hinnom along the southern slope of the Jebusites (that is, Jerusalem) and ascended to the top of the hill that faces the Valley of Hinnom on the west, at the northern end of the Valley of Rephaim.
9 Site nʼelu ugwu ebe ahụ, oke ala ahụ gbatịrị ruo na mmiri ime ala Neftoa, pụta site nʼebe ahụ ruo obodo niile dị nso ugwu Efrọn. Site nʼEfrọn, oke ala ahụ gbadara ruo Baala (nke aha ya ọzọ bụ Kiriat Jearim).
From the hilltop the border curved to the spring of the Waters of Nephtoah, proceeded to the cities of Mount Ephron, and then bent around toward Baalah (that is, Kiriath-jearim).
10 Oke ala ahụ mere dịka ọ ga-agba Baala gburugburu nʼakụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ, site nʼebe ahụ pụta nʼugwu Sia, sitekwa nʼebe ahụ ruo nʼakụkụ ugwu Jearim (ya bụ Kesalon), gbatịa ruo na ndịda Bet-Shemesh, gafee ruo nʼọdịda anyanwụ oke ala Timna.
The border curled westward from Baalah to Mount Seir, ran along the northern slope of Mount Jearim (that is, Chesalon), went down to Beth-shemesh, and crossed to Timnah.
11 O sikwara ebe ahụ ruo ndịda ugwu Ekrọn, tụgharịa ruo Shikerọn, gafee ya, ruo nʼugwu Baala, sitekwa nʼebe ahụ ruo Jabneel, oke ala ahụ kwụsịrị nʼosimiri.
Then it went out to the northern slope of Ekron, curved toward Shikkeron, proceeded to Mount Baalah, went on to Jabneel, and ended at the Sea.
12 Oke ala ha nʼakụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ bụ ọnụ mmiri osimiri Mediterenịa. Ndị a bụ oke ala gbara ndị Juda gburugburu dịka ikwu ha niile si dị.
And the western border was the coastline of the Great Sea. These are the boundaries around the clans of the descendants of Judah.
13 Dịka iwu Onyenwe anyị nyere si dị, Joshua nyere Kaleb nwa Jefune oke nʼetiti ndị Juda. O kenyere ya Kiriat Aaba, ya bụ, Hebrọn. Aaba bụ nna nna Anak.
According to the LORD’s command to him, Joshua gave Caleb son of Jephunneh a portion among the sons of Judah—Kiriath-arba, that is, Hebron. (Arba was the forefather of Anak.)
14 Kaleb sitere nʼobodo Hebrọn chụpụ ndị ikom atọ, bụ Sheshai, na Ahiman, na Talmai, ụmụ Anak nʼala ha.
And Caleb drove out from there the three sons of Anak—the descendants of Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.
15 O si nʼebe ahụ bilie ịlụso ndị bi na Debịa ọgụ. Nke a na-akpọ Kiriat Sefa nʼoge mbụ.
From there he marched against the inhabitants of Debir (formerly known as Kiriath-sepher).
16 Kaleb sịrị, “Nwoke ọbụla ga-aga busoo Kiriat Sefa agha ma merie ya ka m ga-akpọnye Aksa, bụ nwa m nwanyị ka ọ bụrụ nwunye ya.”
And Caleb said, “To the man who strikes down Kiriath-sepher and captures it, I will give my daughter Acsah in marriage.”
17 Ya mere, Otniel, nwa Kenaz, nwa nwanne Kaleb, lụgburu obodo ahụ nʼagha. Nʼihi nke a, Kaleb kpọnyere ya Aksa, bụ nwa ya nwanyị ka ọ bụrụ nwunye ya.
So Othniel son of Caleb’s brother Kenaz captured the city, and Caleb gave his daughter Acsah to him in marriage.
18 Otu ụbọchị, mgbe Aksa bịakwutere Otniel, ọ kwagidere ya ka ọ rịọọ ala ubi site nʼaka nna ya. Mgbe Aksa si nʼelu ịnyịnya ibu ya rịdata, Kaleb jụrụ ya sị, “Gịnị ka ị chọrọ ka m mere gị?”
One day Acsah came to Othniel and urged him to ask her father for a field. When she got off her donkey, Caleb asked her, “What do you desire?”
19 Ọ zaghachiri, “Nyem onyinye pụrụ iche. Ebe ọ bụ na i nyela m ala Negev, biko nyekwa m isi mmiri ụfọdụ.” Nʼihi nke a, Kaleb nyere ya isi mmiri mgbago na isi mmiri nke ndịda.
“Give me a blessing,” she answered. “Since you have given me land in the Negev, give me springs of water as well.” So Caleb gave her both the upper and lower springs.
20 Nke a bụ ihe nketa ebo Juda dịka ikwu ha niile si dị.
