Yoswa 15
1 Omugabo gw’abaana ba Yuda ng’enju zaabwe bwe zaali bwe baakuba akalulu, baaweebwa ekitundu okutuuka ku nsalo ya Edomu, ku lukoola lwa Zini, ku nkomerero y’oluuyi olw’obukiikaddyo.
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 N’ensalo yaabwe ey’oluuyi olwo okuva ku Nnyanja ey’Omunnyo w’eva, ku kikono ekitunudde mu bukiikaddyo;
Their southern border started at the bay on the southern tip of the Salt Sea,
3 n’esala wansi w’ekkubo eririnnya ku Akkulabimu n’eyita okutuuka ku Zini n’erinnya okuyita wansi wa Kadesubanea, n’eyita kumpi ne Kezulooni, n’erinnya ku Addali, n’ekyamira ku Kaluka;
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 n’eyita ku Azumoni n’ekoma ku mugga ogw’e Misiri, n’eryoka esibira ku nnyanja. Eno ye yali ensalo yaabwe ey’obukiikaddyo.
It proceeded to Azmon, joined the Brook of Egypt, and ended at the Sea. This was their southern border.
5 N’ensalo yaabwe ey’obuvanjuba yali nnyanja ey’obukiikakkono. Kyali kikono kya Yoludaani we guyiyira ku Nnyanja ey’Omunnyo. N’ensalo ey’obukiikakkono kyali kikono kya nnyanja Yoludaani we guyiyiramu.
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 N’eyambuka n’eyita ku Besukogula n’eyita ku luuyi lw’ebuvanjuba bwa Besualaba n’eyambuka okutuuka ku jjinja lya Bokani omwana wa Lewubeeni.
went up to Beth-hoglah, proceeded north of Beth-arabah, and went up to the Stone of Bohan son of Reuben.
7 Era n’erinnya ku Debiri okuva mu kiwonvu Akoli, n’egenda ku luuyi olw’obukiikakkono, n’edda e Girugaali emitala w’ekkubo eryambuka ku Adummimu, ekiri emitala w’omugga mu bukiikaddyo, n’etuuka ku nsalo ku mazzi ag’e Ensemesi, n’esala n’ekoma ku Enerogeri. Awo n’eryoka eyita ku kiwonvu kya Kinomu ku luuyi lw’ebugwanjuba ekyali ku nkomerero ey’ekiwonvu kya Lefayimu ku luuyi olw’obukiikakkono.
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 Awo n’eryoka eva ku kiwonvu ky’omwana wa Kinomu n’etuuka ku njegoyego za Yebusi ku luuyi olw’obukiikaddyo ye Yerusaalemi, ne yeeyongera ku ntikko y’olusozi oluli w’okkira mu kiwonvu kya Kinomu ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba, ku nkomerero y’ekiwonvu kya Lefayimu mu bukiikakkono;
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 ne yeeyongera okuva ku ntikko y’olusozi n’etuuka ku luzzi olw’amazzi ga Nefutoa, ne yeeyongerayo n’etuuka ku bibuga eby’oku lusozi Efuloni, n’etuuka ku Baala, ye Kiriyasuyalimu,
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 n’ewetamu okuva e Baala ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba n’etuuka ku lusozi Sayiri n’eyita n’etuuka ku mabbali g’olusozi Yealimu ku luuyi olw’omu bukiikakkono, ye Kyesaloni, n’ekka ku Besusemesi, n’eyita ku Timuna,
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 n’egenda ku mabbali ag’e Ekuloni mu bukiikakkono, n’ekka ku Sikkeroni n’etuuka ku lusozi Baala, n’ekoma ku Yabuneeri, ne ku nnyanja.
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 Ensalo ey’ebugwanjuba yali Ennyanja Ennene n’olubalama lwayo. Eyo ye yali ensalo y’abaana ba Yuda ku njuyi zonna ng’enju zaabwe bwe zaali.
And the western border was the coastline of the Great Sea. These are the boundaries around the clans of the descendants of Judah.
13 Yoswa n’awa Kalebu omwana wa Yefune omugabo mu baana ba Yuda Kiriasualuba, ye Kebbulooni, ng’ekiragiro kya Mukama bwe kyali. Aluba ye yali kitaawe wa Anaki.
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 Kalebu n’agobamu abaana abasatu aba Anaki: Sesayi ne Akimaani, ne Talumaayi, abaana ba Anaki.
And Caleb drove out from there the three sons of Anak—the descendants of Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.
15 N’ava eyo n’alumba abaali mu Debiri, edda eyayitibwanga Kiriasuseferi.
From there he marched against the inhabitants of Debir (formerly known as Kiriath-sepher).
16 Kalebu n’agamba nti, “Anaakuba Kiriasuseferi n’akiwamba ndimuwa muwala wange Akusa amuwase.”
And Caleb said, “To the man who strikes down Kiriath-sepher and captures it, I will give my daughter Acsah in marriage.”
17 Osunieri omwana wa Kenazi, muganda wa Kalebu, n’akikuba, Kalebu n’amuwa Akusa muwala we amuwase.
So Othniel son of Caleb’s brother Kenaz captured the city, and Caleb gave his daughter Acsah to him in marriage.
18 Awo bwe yajja gy’ali, n’amugamba asabe kitaawe ennimiro. Bwe yava ku ndogoyi ye, Kalebu n’amubuuza nti, “Kiki kyoyagala nkukolere?”
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 N’addamu nti, “Nsaba onnyambe nga bwe wampa ettaka mu Negebu, ompe n’ensulo z’amazzi.” Kalebu n’amuwa ensulo ez’engulu n’ez’emmanga.
“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 Guno gwe mugabo gw’ekika ky’abaana ba Yuda ng’enju zaabwe bwe zaali.
This is the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Judah.
