1 Eteni ya mabele ya bato ya libota ya Yuda, kolanda bituka na bango, ezalaki na ngambo ya sude, wuta na bandelo ya Edomi kino na esobe ya Tsini, na suka penza ya sude.

And the lot for the tribe of the sons of Judah, for their families, is to the border of Edom; the wilderness of Zin southward, at the extremity of the south;

2 Mondelo na yango ya sude ebandaki na suka ya ebale monene ya Barozo, longwa na eteni ya mabele oyo ekota kati na ebale monene oyo etalana na Negevi,

and to them the south border is at the extremity of the Salt Sea, from the bay which is looking southward;

3 emataki kino na ngambo ya sude ya Akarabimi mpe elekaki na Tsini, sima emataki na ngambo ya sude ya Kadeshi-Barinea mpe ekitaki na Etsironi; emataki na ngambo ya Adari mpe ebalukaki na ngambo ya Karika.

and it has gone out to the south to Maaleh-Akrabbim, and passed over to Zin, and gone up on the south to Kadesh-Barnea, and passed over [to] Hezron, and gone up to Adar, and turned around to Karkaa,

5 Na ngambo ya este, mondelo ezalaki ebale monene ya Barozo kino na suka ya Yordani. Na ngambo ya nor, ezalaki longwa na eteni ya mabele oyo ekota kati na ebale kino na suka ya Yordani.

And the east border [is] the Salt Sea, to the extremity of the Jordan, and the border at the north quarter [is] from the bay of the sea, at the extremity of the Jordan;

and the border has gone up [to] Beth-Hoglah, and passed over on the north of Beth-Arabah, and the border has gone up [to] the stone of Bohan son of Reuben:

and the border has gone up toward Debir from the Valley of Achor, and northward looking to Gilgal, which [is] opposite the ascent of Adummim, which [is] on the south of the brook, and the border has passed over to the waters of En-Shemesh, and its outgoings have been to En-Rogel;

8 Bongo mondelo yango emataki na nzela ya Lubwaku ya Beni-Inomi, pene ya mopanzi ya sude ya engumba ya bato ya Yebusi (oyo ezali Yelusalemi). Longwa na esika yango, emataki kino na songe ya ngomba oyo ezali na weste ya Lubwaku ya Inomi, na suka ya ngambo ya nor ya Lubwaku ya Refayimi.

and the border has gone up the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite on the south (it [is] Jerusalem), and the border has gone up to the top of the hill-country which [is] on the front of the Valley of Hinnom westward, which [is] in the extremity of the Valley of the Rephaim northward;

9 Longwa na songe ya ngomba, mondelo yango ekatisaki kino na etima ya mayi ya Nefitoa, ebimaki na bingumba ya ngomba Efroni mpe ekitaki na ngambo ya Baala (oyo ezali Kiriati-Yearimi).

and the border has been marked out, from the top of the hill-country to the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah, and has gone out to the cities of Mount Ephron, and the border has been marked out [to] Ba‘alah (it [is] Kirjath-Jearim);

10 Longwa na Baala, mondelo yango ekatisaki na ngambo ya weste, pene ya ngomba Seiri; elekaki na mopanzi ya ngomba ya bazamba, na ngambo ya nor (oyo ezali ngomba Kesaloni); ekobaki kokita kino na Beti-Shemeshi mpe ekatisaki kino na Timina.

and the border has gone around from Ba‘alah westward, to Mount Seir, and passed over to the side of Mount Jearim (it [is] Chesalon), on the north, and gone down [to] Beth-Shemesh, and passed over to Timnah;

and the border has gone out to the side of Ekron northward, and the border has been marked out [to] Shicron, and has passed over to Mount Ba‘alah, and gone out [to] Jabneel; and the outgoings of the border have been at the sea.

12 Mondelo ya ngambo ya weste elekaki pembeni-pembeni ya ebale monene Mediterane. Yango nde ezalaki, na bangambo nyonso, eteni ya mabele ya bato ya libota ya Yuda kolanda bituka na bango.

And the west border [is] to the Great Sea, and [its] border; this [is] the border of the sons of Judah all around for their families.

13 Kolanda mitindo oyo Yawe apesaki ye, Jozue apesaki Kalebi, mwana mobali ya Yefune, eteni ya mabele: Kiriati-Ariba (oyo ezali Ebron), kati na libota ya bato ya Yuda. (Ariba azalaki tata ya Anaki).

And to Caleb son of Jephunneh he has given a portion in the midst of the sons of Judah, according to the command of YHWH to Joshua, [even] the city of Arba, father of Anak—it [is] Hebron.

14 Kalebi abenganaki, wuta na Ebron, bakitani misato ya Anaki: Sheshayi, Ayimani mpe Talimayi.

And Caleb is dispossessing there the three sons of Anak: Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, children of Anak,

15 Longwa wana, akendeki kobundisa bavandi ya Debiri oyo kombo na yango ezalaki na kala « Kiriati-Seferi. »

and he goes up there to the inhabitants of Debir; and the name of Debir [was] formerly Kirjath-Sepher.

16 Kalebi alobaki: « Nakopesa na libala Akisa, mwana na ngai ya mwasi, epai ya moto nyonso oyo akobundisa mpe akobotola Kiriati-Seferi. »

And Caleb says, “He who strikes Kirjath-Sephar, and has captured it—I have given my daughter Achsah to him for a wife.”

17 Otinieli, mwana mobali ya Kenazi, ndeko mobali ya Kalebi, abotolaki yango; boye Kalebi apesaki Akisa, mwana na ye ya mwasi, na libala epai ya Otinieli.

And Othniel son of Kenaz, brother of Caleb, captures it, and he gives his daughter Achsah to him for a wife.

18 Nzokande, tango Akisa akomaki na ndako ya Otinieli, atindikaki ye ete asenga elanga epai ya Kalebi, tata na ye. Boye, tango Akisa akitaki wuta na ane na ye, Kalebi atunaki ye: — Olingi nini?

And it comes to pass, in her coming in, that she persuades him to ask [for] a field from her father, and she comes down off the donkey, and Caleb says to her, “What do you [want]?”

19 Akisa azongisaki: — Salela ngai ngolu. Lokola opesaki ngai eteni ya mabele kati na Negevi, pesa ngai lisusu bitima. Boye, Kalebi apesaki ye bitima ya likolo mpe ya se.

And she says, “Give a blessing to me; when you have given me the land of the south, then you have given springs of waters to me”; and he gives the upper springs and the lower springs to her.
