Josué 15
1 La parte que le tocó en suerte a la tribu de los hijos de Judá, según sus familias, iba hacia el límite de Edom, hacia el desierto de Zin al extremo sur.
The land that was allotted to the tribe of Judah was divided among its clans. That land extended south along the border of the Edom region, as far as the Zin Desert.
2 Su límite por el lado sur iba desde la costa del mar Salado, desde la bahía que mira hacia el sur,
The southern border of the land that was allotted to the tribe of Judah started at the south end of the Dead Sea [and extended west].
3 y seguía por el sur hacia la subida de Acrabim, pasaba hasta Zin, subía por el sur de Cades Barnea y pasaba por Hebrón, y después de subir por Adar, volvía a Carca.
It extended south of Scorpion Pass to Zin [Desert], and from there west to a place south of Kadesh-Barnea, past Hezron [town], to Addar [town], and from there it turned [northwest] to Karka [town].
4 De allí pasaba a Asmón y seguía hasta el arroyo de Egipto, y terminaba en el mar. Éste les será el límite del sur.
From there it continued to Azmon, and from there to the dry riverbed on the border of Egypt, and from there [west] to the [Mediterranean] Sea. That was the southern border.
5 El límite oriental era el mar Salado hasta la desembocadura del Jordán. El límite del norte era desde la costa del mar en la desembocadura del Jordán,
The eastern border of the land of the tribe of Judah was the Dead Sea, and it extended [north] to [where the Jordan River ends at] the Dead Sea.
6 y el lindero subía a Bet-hogla, pasaba al norte de Bet-arabá y subía hasta la piedra de Bohán, hijo de Rubén.
The northern border started where the Jordan River ends at the Dead Sea. It extended [north] to Beth-Hoglah [town], and from there it extended north of Beth-Arabah [town] to the [big] stone [set up by] Reuben’s son Bohan.
7 El lindero subía después desde el valle de Acor hasta Debir, y por el norte volvía hacia Gilgal, que se encuentra frente a la subida de Adumim, situada al lado sur del valle. Después el límite pasaba por las aguas de En-semes, y terminaba en En-rogel.
From there the border continued west through Achor Valley to Debir [city]. From there it turned north to Gilgal [city]. Gilgal is north of the road that goes through Adummim Pass, on the south side of the valley. From Gilgal the border extended west to the springs at En-Shemesh, and from there to En-Rogel.
8 El lindero subía por el valle del hijo de Hinom, en el lado sur de donde estaban los jebuseos, es decir, Jerusalén, y subía a la cumbre de la montaña que está delante del valle de Hinom hacia el occidente, en el extremo norte del valle de Refaim.
From there it extended through Ben-Hinnom Valley, south of the city where the Jebus people-group lived. (That city is now named Jerusalem.) From there the border extended to the top of the hill on the west side of Hinnom Valley, at the northern end of the valley where the Repha [giants] lived.
9 Desde la cumbre de la montaña el límite volvía hasta la fuente de las aguas de Neftoa, y salía a las ciudades de la montaña Efrón, luego rodeaba a Baala, la cual es Quiriat-jearim.
From there the border extended [northwest] to Nephtoah Spring, and from there to the cities near Ephron Mountain. From there the border extended [west] toward Baalah, which is now named Kiriath-Jearim.
10 De Baala el límite giraba al occidente hasta la montaña Seír, y pasaba por la ladera de la montaña Jearim, por el norte, que es Quesalón, y descendía a Bet-semes, y pasaba a Timná.
Then the border extended further west to Seir Mountain. Then it continued [southwest] along the north side of Jearim Mountain, which is also named Kesalon, to Beth-Shemesh [city]. From there it extended [northwest] past Timnah [city],
11 Después la línea partía hacia la ladera de Ecrón, al norte, y giraba hacia Sicrón y después de pasar por la montaña Baala, salía a Jabneel, y el límite terminaba en el mar.
to the hill north of Ekron [city]. From there it extended [west] to Shikkeron [town] and past Baalah Mountain to Jabneel [town], then [northwest] to the [Mediterranean] Sea.
12 El límite occidental era el mar Grande. Estos son los límites alrededor de los hijos de Judá, según sus familias.
The western border of the land that was allotted to the tribe of Judah was the Mediterranean Sea. All the clans of Judah lived inside those borders.
13 Pero a Caleb, hijo de Jefone, le dio su porción entre los hijos de Judá, conforme a la Palabra de Yavé [dada] a Josué, la ciudad de Arba, padre de Anac, la cual es Hebrón.
Yahweh commanded Joshua to give part of the land for the tribe of Judah to Caleb. So he gave to Caleb Kiriath-Arba [city], which is now named Hebron. (Arba was the ancestor of the Anak people-group.)
14 Caleb echó de allí a tres de los hijos de Anac: a Sesai, Aimán y Talmai, descendientes de Anac.
Caleb forced the three clans of the Anak people-group to leave Hebron. Those were the Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai clans.
15 De allí subió contra los habitantes de Debir. Antiguamente el nombre de Debir era Quiriat-séfer.
Then Caleb left there and went to fight against the people living in Debir [city], which was previously named Kiriath-Sepher.
16 Entonces Caleb dijo: Al que ataque a Quiriat-sefer, y la conquiste, le daré a mi hija Acsa como esposa.
Caleb said, “If someone attacks [the people in] Kiriath-Sepher and captures their city, I will give my daughter Acsah to him to be his wife.”
17 Otoniel, hijo de Cenaz, hermano de Caleb, la conquistó. Y él le dio como esposa a su hija Acsa.
Othniel, the son of Caleb’s brother Kenaz, captured the city. So Caleb gave his daughter to him.
18 Aconteció que cuando la llevaba, él la incitó a que pidiera a su padre un campo. Ella desmontó del asno, por lo cual Caleb le dijo: ¿Qué quieres?
When Caleb’s daughter married Othniel, she told him to ask her father to give her a field. Then Acsah went to talk with her father Caleb. As she got down from her donkey, Caleb asked her, “Do you want something?”
19 Ella entonces respondió: Dame una bendición. Porque me diste una tierra de sequedal, dame también fuentes de agua. Y él le dio las fuentes de arriba y las fuentes de abajo.
Acsah replied, “Yes, I want you to do something for me. You have given me some land in the southern part of Canaan, [but there is no water there]. So please give me some [land that has] springs.” So Caleb gave her the upper and lower springs [near Hebron].
