Josoa 15

1 Ary izao no anjaran’ ny firenena taranak’ i Joda tamin’ ny filokana araka ny fokony: hatramin’ ny fari-tanin’ i Edoma dia ny efitra Zina atsimo, izay faran’ ny faritany atsimo.

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 Ary ny fari-taniny atsimo dia hatramin’ ny faran’ ny Ranomasin-tsira, dia hatramin’ ny helo-drano atsimo,

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

3 dia nandroso hatrany atsimon’ ny fiakarana Akrabima, dia nandroso hatrany Zina, dia niakatra any atsimon’ i Kadesi-barnea ka nandroso hatrany Hezrona dia niakatra any Adara ary niolaka hatrany Karka,

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,

4 dia nandroso hatrany Azmona ka nahazo ny lohasahan-driak’ i Egypta, ary dia nihatra tamin’ ny ranomasina; izany no ho fari-taninareo atsimo.

and passed over [to] Azmon, and gone out [at] the Brook of Egypt, and the outgoings of the border have been at the sea; this is the south border to you.

5 Ary ny fari-tany atsinanana dia ny Ranomasin-tsira hatramin’ ny faran’ i Jordana. Ary ny fari-taniny tamin’ ny lafiny avaratra dia hatramin’ ny helo-drano eo amin’ ny faran’ i Jordana,

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;

6 dia niakatra hatrany Beti-hogla ka nandroso any avaratr’ i Bet-araba, dia niakatra hatramin’ ny vaton’ i Bohana, zanak’ i Robena,

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:

7 dia niakatra ho any Debira hatramin’ ny lohasaha Akora ary nianavaratra manandrify an’ i Gilgala tandrifin’ ny fiakarana Adomina, izay eo atsimon’ ny lohasahan-driaka, dia nandroso hatramin’ ny rano Ensemesy ary nihatra tany En-rogela,

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 dia niakatra teo amin’ ny lohasahan’ ny taranak’ i Hinoma, ho eo anilany atsimon’ ny Jebosita (Jerosalema izany), dia niakatra hatramin’ ny tampon’ ny tendrombohitra, izay manandrify ny lohasahan’ i Hinoma eo andrefany, amin’ ny farany avaratry ny Lohasahan’ ny Refaïta,

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 dia nizotra hatramin’ ny tampon’ ny tendrombohitra ka nihatra tamin’ ny loharano Neftoa, dia nahazo ny tanàna tao an-tendrombohitra Efrona, dia nizotra hatrany Bala (Kiriata-jearima izany),

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 dia niolaka hatrany Bala andrefana ka hatramin’ ny tendrombohitra Seïra ka nandroso hatramin’ ny ilany avaratry ny tendrombohitra Jearima (Kesalona izany), dia nidina hatrany Beti-semesy ka nandroso hatrany Timna.

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;

11 dia nihatra tamin’ ny lafiny avaratr’ i Ekrona, dia nizotra hatrany Sikerona ka nandroso hatramin’ ny tendrombohitra Bala, dia nihatra tamin’ i Jabniela, ary dia nihatra tany amin’ ny ranomasina.

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 Ary ny fari-tany andrefana dia ny moron’ ny Ranomasina Lehibe. Izany no fari-tany manodidina ny anjaran’ ny taranak’ i Joda araka ny fokony.

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 Ary Kaleba, zanak’ i Jefone, dia nomeny anjara teo amin’ ny taranak’ i Joda, araka ny didin’ i Jehovah tamin’ i Josoa, dia ny tanànan’ i Arba, rain’ i Anàka (Hebrona izany).

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 Dia noroahin’ i Kaleba niala tao izy telo lahy, taranaky ny Anakita, dia Sesay sy Ahimana ary Talmay.

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

15 Dia niakatra avy tao izy hankany amin’ ny mponina any Debira (Kiriata-sefera no anaran’ i Debira taloha).

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

16 Ary hoy Kaleba: Izay mamely an’ i Kiriata-sefera ka mahafaka azy, dia homeko azy Aksa zanako-vavy ho vadiny.

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

17 Ary Otniela, zanak’ i Kenaza, rahalahin’ i Kaleba, no nahafaka azy; ka dia nomeny azy Aksa zananivavy ho vadiny.

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

18 Ary rehefa voampakatra ravehivavy, dia nanome vava ny lahy hangataka saha tamin-drainy; dia niala faingana tamin’ ny borikiny ravehivavy, ka hoy Kaleba taminy: Inona no ilainao?

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 Ary hoy izy: Omeo tso-drano aho; fa tsy tany misy rano no efa nomenao ahy, ka mba omeo loharano koa aho. Dia nomeny azy ny loharano ambony sy ny loharano ambany.

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.
