< Jozue 15 >

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.
This then was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah by their families; even to the border of Edom the wilderness of Zin southward was the uttermost part of the south border.
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 their south border was from the shore of the salt sea, from the bay that looketh 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 went out to the south side to Maalehacrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and ascended on the south side to Kadeshbarnea, and passed along to Hezron, and went up to Adar, and turned about to Karkaa:
4 Elekaki na Atsimoni, ekendeki kotutana na moluka ya Ejipito mpe esukaki na Ebale monene. Yango nde ezali mondelo na bango na ngambo ya sude.
From there it passed toward Azmon, and went out to the river of Egypt; and the ends of that border were at the sea: this shall be your south border.
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 was the salt sea, even to the end of Jordan. And their border in the north quarter was from the bay of the sea at the mouth of the Jordan:
6 Mondelo emataki na Beti-Ogila, elekaki na ngambo ya nor ya Beti-Araba mpe emataki kino na Libanga ya Boani, mwana mobali ya Ribeni.
And the border went up to Bethhogla, and passed along by the north of Betharabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben:
7 Mondelo yango emataki kino na Debiri, longwa na Lubwaku ya Akori, mpe ebalukaki na ngambo ya nor kino na Giligali oyo etalana na nzela oyo emata na Adumimi, na ngambo ya sude ya moluka. Elekaki pene ya mayi ya Eyini-Shemeshi mpe ekendeki kosuka na Eyini-Rogeli.
And the border went up toward Debir from the valley of Achor, and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, that is before the ascent of Adummim, which is on the south side of the river: and the border passed toward the waters of Enshemesh, and the borders of it were at Enrogel:
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 went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom to the south side of the Jebusite; 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 end of the valley of the giants 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 extended from the top of the hill to the fountain of the water of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of mount Ephron; and the border extended to Baalah, which is Kirjathjearim:
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 turned from Baalah westward to mount Seir, and passed along to the side of mount Jearim, which is Chesalon, on the north side, and went down to Bethshemesh, and passed on to Timnah:
11 Mondelo yango ekendeki na mopanzi ya ngambo ya nor ya Ekroni, ebalukaki na Shikeroni, elekaki pene ya ngomba Baala; ekendeki kino na Yabineyeli mpe esukaki na ebale monene.
And the border went out to the side of Ekron northward: and the border extended to Shicron, and passed along to mount Baalah, and went out to Jabneel; and the ends of the border were 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 was to the great sea, and its coast. This is the border of the children of Judah all around according to 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 the son of Jephunneh he gave a part among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of the LORD to Joshua, even the city of Arba the father of Anak, which city is Hebron.
14 Kalebi abenganaki, wuta na Ebron, bakitani misato ya Anaki: Sheshayi, Ayimani mpe Talimayi.
And Caleb drove from there the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.
15 Longwa wana, akendeki kobundisa bavandi ya Debiri oyo kombo na yango ezalaki na kala « Kiriati-Seferi. »
And he went up from there to the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before was Kirjathsepher.
16 Kalebi alobaki: « Nakopesa na libala Akisa, mwana na ngai ya mwasi, epai ya moto nyonso oyo akobundisa mpe akobotola Kiriati-Seferi. »
And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjathsepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter 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 the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter 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 came to pass, as she came to him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she got off her donkey; and Caleb said to her, What wouldest thou?
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.
Who answered, Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a south land; give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs, and the lower springs.
20 Yango nde ezalaki eteni ya mabele oyo bato ya libota ya Yuda bazwaki lokola libula, kolanda mabota na bango.
