And the lot for the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families was unto the border of Edom, even to the wilderness of Zin southward, at the uttermost part of the south.

2 Nʼakụkụ ndịda, oke ala ha malitere nʼọnụ ọnụ ndịda osimiri Nnu.

And their south border was from the uttermost part of the Salt Sea, from the bay that looked southward.

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;

And it went out southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and went up by the south of Kadesh-barnea, and passed along by Hezron, and went up to Addar, and turned about to 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.

And it passed along to Azmon, and went out at the Brook of Egypt; and the goings out of the border were at the sea; this shall be your south 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,

And the east border was the Salt Sea, even unto the end of the Jordan. And the border of the north side was from the bay of the sea at the end of the Jordan.

6 gbatịrị ruo Bet-Hogla, ma ruo nʼugwu Bet-Araba, rukwaa na nkume Bohan, nwa Ruben.

And the border went up to Beth-hoglah, and passed along by the north of Beth-arabah; and the border went up to the Stone of Bohan the 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.

And the border went up to Debir from the valley of Achor, and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, that is over against the ascent of Adummim, which is on the south side of the brook; and the border passed along to the waters of En-shemesh, and the goings out thereof were 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.

And the border went up by the Valley of the son of Hinnom unto the side of the Jebusite southward — the same is Jerusalem — and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lieth before the Valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the uttermost part of the vale of Rephaim northward.

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).

And the border was drawn from the top of the mountain unto the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of mount Ephron; and the border was drawn to Baalah — the same 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.

And the border turned about from Baalah westward unto mount Seir, and passed along unto the side of mount Jearim on the north — the same is Chesalon — and went down to Beth-shemesh, and passed along by 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.

And the border went out unto the side of Ekron northward; and the border was drawn to Shikkeron, and passed along to mount Baalah, and went out at Jabneel; and the goings out of the border were 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 as for the west border, the Great Sea was the border thereof. This is the border of the children of Judah round about according to their families.

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.

And unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a portion among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of the LORD to Joshua, even Kiriath-arba, which Arba was the father of Anak — the same is Hebron.

14 Kaleb sitere nʼobodo Hebrọn chụpụ ndị ikom atọ, bụ Sheshai, na Ahiman, na Talmai, ụmụ Anak nʼala ha.

And Caleb drove out thence the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, and 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.

And he went up thence against the inhabitants of Debir — now the name of Debir beforetime was 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: 'He that smiteth Kiriath-sepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.'

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.

And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it; and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.

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?”

And it came to pass, when she came unto him, that she persuaded him to ask of her father a field; and she alighted from off her ass; and Caleb said unto her: 'What wouldest thou?'

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.

And she said: 'Give me a blessing; for that thou hast set me in the Southland, give me therefore springs of water.' And he gave her the Upper Springs and the Nether Springs.
