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.
The lot for the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families was to the border of Edom, even to the wilderness of Zin southward, at the uttermost part of the south.
2 Ary ny fari-taniny atsimo dia hatramin’ ny faran’ ny Ranomasin-tsira, dia hatramin’ ny helo-drano atsimo,
Their south border was from the uttermost part of the Salt Sea, from the bay that looks 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 went out southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and went up by the south of Kadesh Barnea, and passed along by Hezron, went up to Addar, and turned toward Karka;
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 it passed along to Azmon, went out at the brook of Egypt; and the border ended at the sea. This shall be your south border.
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,
The east border was the Salt Sea, even to the end of the Jordan. The border of the north quarter was from the bay of the sea at the end 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,
The border went up to Beth Hoglah, and passed along by the north of Beth Arabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the 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,
The border went up to Debir from the valley of Achor, and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, that faces the ascent of Adummim, which is on the south side of the river. The border passed along to the waters of En Shemesh, and ended at 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,
The border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom to the side of the Jebusite (also called Jerusalem) southward; and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lies before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the farthest part of the valley of 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),
The border extended from the top of the mountain to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of Mount Ephron; and the border extended to Baalah (also called Kiriath 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 turned about from Baalah westward to Mount Seir, and passed along to the side of Mount Jearim (also called Chesalon) on the north, and went down to Beth Shemesh, and passed along by 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 went out to the side of Ekron northward; and the border extended to Shikkeron, and passed along to Mount Baalah, and went out at Jabneel; and the goings out of the border were 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.
The west border was to the shore of the great sea. This is the border of the children of Judah according to 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).
He gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh a portion among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of the LORD to Joshua, even Kiriath Arba, named after the father of Anak (also called Hebron).
14 Dia noroahin’ i Kaleba niala tao izy telo lahy, taranaky ny Anakita, dia Sesay sy Ahimana ary Talmay.
Caleb drove out the three sons of Anak: Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.
15 Dia niakatra avy tao izy hankany amin’ ny mponina any Debira (Kiriata-sefera no anaran’ i Debira taloha).
He went up against the inhabitants of Debir: now the name of Debir before was Kiriath Sepher.
16 Ary hoy Kaleba: Izay mamely an’ i Kiriata-sefera ka mahafaka azy, dia homeko azy Aksa zanako-vavy ho vadiny.
Caleb said, “He who strikes Kiriath Sepher, and takes it, to him I will give Achsah my daughter as wife.”
17 Ary Otniela, zanak’ i Kenaza, rahalahin’ i Kaleba, no nahafaka azy; ka dia nomeny azy Aksa zananivavy ho vadiny.
Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter as 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?
When she came, she had him ask her father for a field. She got off her donkey, and Caleb said, “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.
She said, “Give me a blessing. Because you have set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water.” So he gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
