Iosue 15

1 igitur sors filiorum Iudae per cognationes suas ista fuit a termino Edom desertum Sin contra meridiem et usque ad extremam partem australis plagae

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 initium eius a summitate maris Salsissimi et a lingua eius quae respicit meridiem

Their southern border started at the bay on the southern tip of the Salt Sea,

3 egrediturque contra ascensum Scorpionis et pertransit in Sina ascenditque in Cadesbarne et pervenit in Esrom ascendens Addara et circumiens Caricaa

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 atque inde pertransiens in Asemona et perveniens ad torrentem Aegypti eruntque termini eius mare Magnum hic erit finis meridianae plagae

It proceeded to Azmon, joined the Brook of Egypt, and ended at the Sea. This was their southern border.

5 ab oriente vero erit initium mare Salsissimum usque ad extrema Iordanis et ea quae respiciunt aquilonem a lingua maris usque ad eundem Iordanem fluvium

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 ascenditque terminus in Bethagla et transit ab aquilone in Betharaba ascendens ad lapidem Boem filii Ruben

went up to Beth-hoglah, proceeded north of Beth-arabah, and went up to the Stone of Bohan son of Reuben.

7 et tendens usque ad terminos Debera de valle Achor contra aquilonem respiciens Galgala quae est ex adverso ascensionis Adommim ab australi parte torrentis transitque aquas quae vocantur fons Solis et erunt exitus eius ad fontem 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 ascenditque per convallem filii Ennom ex latere Iebusei ad meridiem haec est Hierusalem et inde se erigens ad verticem montis qui est contra Gehennom ad occidentem in summitate vallis Rafaim contra aquilonem

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 pertransitque a vertice montis usque ad fontem aquae Nepthoa et pervenit usque ad vicos montis Ephron inclinaturque in Bala quae est Cariathiarim id est urbs Silvarum

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 et circuit de Bala contra occidentem usque ad montem Seir transitque iuxta latus montis Iarim ad aquilonem in Cheslon et descendit in Bethsames transitque in Thamna

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 et pervenit contra aquilonem partis Accaron ex latere inclinaturque Sechrona et transit montem Baala pervenitque in Iebnehel et maris Magni contra occidentem fine concluditur

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 hii sunt termini filiorum Iuda per circuitum in cognationibus suis

And the western border was the coastline of the Great Sea. These are the boundaries around the clans of the descendants of Judah.

13 Chaleb vero filio Iepphonne dedit partem in medio filiorum Iuda sicut praeceperat ei Dominus Cariatharbe patris Enach ipsa est Hebron

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 delevitque ex ea Chaleb tres filios Enach Sesai et Ahiman et Tholmai de stirpe Enach

And Caleb drove out from there the three sons of Anak—the descendants of Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.

15 atque inde conscendens venit ad habitatores Dabir quae prius vocabatur Cariathsepher id est civitas Litterarum

From there he marched against the inhabitants of Debir (formerly known as Kiriath-sepher).

16 dixitque Chaleb qui percusserit Cariathsepher et ceperit eam dabo illi Axam filiam meam uxorem

And Caleb said, “To the man who strikes down Kiriath-sepher and captures it, I will give my daughter Acsah in marriage.”

17 cepitque eam Othonihel filius Cenez frater Chaleb iunior deditque ei Axam filiam suam uxorem

So Othniel son of Caleb’s brother Kenaz captured the city, and Caleb gave his daughter Acsah to him in marriage.

18 quae cum pergerent simul suasit viro ut peteret a patre suo agrum suspiravitque ut sedebat in asino cui Chaleb quid habes inquit

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 at illa respondit da mihi benedictionem terram australem et arentem dedisti mihi iunge et inriguam dedit itaque ei Chaleb inriguum superius et inferius

“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 haec est possessio tribus filiorum Iuda per cognationes suas

This is the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Judah.
