Iyyaasuu 15

1 Qoodni gosa Yihuudaatiif balbala balbalaan ramadame hamma daarii Edoomitti, qarqara kibbaatiin immoo hamma Gammoojjii Siinitti balʼata.

Now the part of the land marked out for the children of Judah by families, went up to the edge of Edom, as far as the waste land of Zin to the south, to the farthest point of it on the south.

2 Daariin isaanii karaa kibbaa galoo galaanaa qarqara kibba Galaana soogiddaattii jalqabee

Their south limit was from the farthest part of the Salt Sea, from the inlet looking to the south:

3 kibba Malkaa Aqrabiim qaxxaamuree gara Siin itti fufee hamma kibba Qaadesh Barneetti deema. Ergasiis Hezroon darbee Adaaritti ol baʼee gara Qarqaatti gora.

From there it goes south of the slope up to Akrabbim, and on to Zin, then south past Kadesh-barnea, and on by Hezron and up to Addar, turning in the direction of Karka:

4 Ergasii immoo achii kaʼee karaa Azimooniin darbee hamma lafa goggogaa Gibxiitti dhufee galaana gaʼee dhaabata. Daariin isaanii kan gara kibbaa kanaa dha.

Then on to Azmon, ending at the stream of Egypt: and the end of the limit is at the sea; this will be your limit on the south.

5 Daariin gara baʼaas Galaana Soogiddaa ture; innis hamma dhuma laga Yordaanositti deema. Daariin gara kaabaa immoo galoo galaanaa kan qarqara Yordaanosii jalqabee

And the east limit is the Salt Sea as far as the end of Jordan. And the limit of the north part of the land is from the inlet of the sea at the end of Jordan:

6 gara Beet Hoglaatti ol baʼee ergasii immoo karaa kaaba Beet Arabbaatiin gara Dhagaa Boohan ilma Ruubeenitti deema.

Then the line goes up to Beth-hoglah, past the north of Beth-arabah, and up to the stone of Bohan, the son of Reuben;

7 Daariin sunis ergasii Sulula Aakoor keessaa Debiiritti ol baʼee gara Gilgaal gama kibba laga sanaatiin fuullee Malkaa Adumiim sanaa kaabatti gora. Daariin kun ittuma fufee gara bishaanota Een Shemesh darbee Een Roogeelitti gad baʼa.

Then the line goes up to Debir from the valley of Achor, and so to the north, in the direction of Gilgal, which is opposite the slope up to Adummim, on the south side of the river: and the line goes on to the waters of En-shemesh, ending at En-rogel:

8 Ergasiis karaa kibba tabba magaalaa Yebuusotaatiin jechuunis Yerusaalemitiin baʼee Sulula Ben Hinoom irraan darba. Achiis baʼee qarqara kaaba Sulula Refaayimitti fiixee tulluu gama lixa Sulula Hinoom jirutti ol baʼe.

Then the line goes up by the valley of the son of Hinnom to the south side of the Jebusite (which is Jerusalem): then up to the top of the mountain in front of the valley of Hinnom to the west, which is at the farthest point of the valley of Rephaim on the north:

9 Daariin sun ammas fiixee gaaraa irraa kaʼee gara burqaa bishaanota Neftooʼaatti qajeelee magaalaawwan Tulluu Efrooniin baʼee gara Baʼaalaatti jechuunis Kiriyaati Yeʼaariimitti gad buʼe.

And the limit is marked out from the top of the mountain to the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah, and out to the towns of Mount Ephron, as far as Baalah (which is Kiriath-jearim):

10 Ergasii Baʼaalaa irraa Tulluu Seeʼiiriitti gara lixaatti garagalee tabba kaaba Tulluu Yiʼaariim jechuunis Kesaaloon irra baʼee itti fufuudhaan Beet Shemeshitti gad buʼee Tiimnaahitti darba.

Then turning west, the line goes from Baalah to Mount Seir, and on to the side of Mount Jearim (which is Chesalon) on the north, then down to Beth-shemesh, and on past Timnah:

11 Gara kaaba tabba Eqroonitti darbee Shikeroonitti goree Tulluu Baʼaalaa irra qaxxaamuruudhaan hamma Yabniʼeelitti deema. Daariin sunis galaana gaʼee dhaabate.

And out to the side of Ekron to the north: then it is marked out to Shikkeron and on to Mount Baalah, ending at Jabneel; the end of the line is at the sea.

12 Daariin gara lixaa immoo qarqara Galaana Guddaa ti. Daariiwwan akkuma balbala gosa isaaniitti saba Yihuudaa marsanis kanneenii dha.

And the limit on the west is the edge of the Great Sea. This is the line going round the land marked out for the children of Judah, by their families.

13 Iyyaasuun akkuma Waaqayyo isa ajajetti, qooda Yihuudaa irraa kutee Kebroon biyya Kiriyaati Arbaaq jedhamtu sana Kaaleb ilma Yefuneetiif kenne. Arbaaq kunis abbaa Anaaq.

And to Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, he gave a part among the children of Judah, as the Lord had given orders to Joshua, that is, Kiriath-arba, named after Arba, the father of Anak which is Hebron.

14 Kaalebis ilmaan Anaaq sadan jechuunis Sheeshaayiin, Ahiimanii fi Talmaayi sanyii Anaaq ariʼee achii baase.

And the three sons of Anak, Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai, the children of Anak, were forced out from there by Caleb.

15 Achiis namoota biyya Debiir ishee dur Kiriyaati Seefer jedhamaa turte sana keessa jiraatanitti duule.

From there he went up against the people of Debir: (now the name of Debir before that was Kiriath-sepher.)

16 Kaalebis, “Ani nama Kiriyaati Seefer lolee qabatutti intala koo Aaksaa nan heerumsiisa” jedhe.

And Caleb said, I will give Achsah, my daughter, as wife to the man who overcomes Kiriath-sepher and takes it.

17 Obboleessi Kaaleb, Otniiʼeel ilmi Qenaz magaalattii qabate; Kaalebis intala isaa Aaksaa isatti heerumsiise.

And Othniel, the son of Kenaz, Caleb's brother, took it: so he gave him his daughter Achsah for his wife.

18 Isheenis yeroo gara Otniiʼeel dhuftetti akka inni abbaa ishee lafa qotiisaa kadhatu isa kakaafte. Kaalebis yommuu isheen harree ishee irraa buutetti, “Ani maal siif godhu?” jedhee ishee gaafate.

Now when she came to him, he put into her mind the idea of requesting a field from her father: and she got down from her ass; and Caleb said to her, What is it?

19 Isheenis deebiftee, “Waan addaa tokko naa godhi. Akkuma Negeeb keessatti lafa naa kennite sana burqaawwan bishaaniis naa kenni” jetteen. Kaalebis burqaawwan oliitii fi gadii kenneef.

And she said, Give me a blessing; because you have put me in dry south-land, now give me springs of water. So he gave her the higher spring and the lower spring.
