Yoshua 15
1 Mgawo kwa kabila la Yuda, ulienea ukoo kwa ukoo, ukishuka kufikia eneo la Edomu, hadi Jangwa la Sini mwisho kabisa upande wa kusini.
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 Mpaka wao wa kusini ulianzia kwenye ghuba iliyoko kwenye ncha ya kusini mwa Bahari ya Chumvi,
Their southern border started at the bay on the southern tip of the Salt Sea,
3 ukakatiza kusini mwa Akrabimu, ukaendelea hadi Sini ukaenda hadi kusini mwa Kadesh-Barnea. Tena ukapitia Hesroni ukapanda hadi Adari na ukapinda hadi Karka.
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 Kisha ukaendelea mpaka Azmoni na kuunganika na Kijito cha Misri, na kuishia baharini. Huu ndio mpaka wao wa upande wa kusini.
It proceeded to Azmon, joined the Brook of Egypt, and ended at the Sea. This was their southern border.
5 Mpaka wa upande wa mashariki ni Bahari ya Chumvi ukienea mahali Mto Yordani unapoingilia. Mpaka wa upande wa kaskazini ulianzia penye ghuba ya bahari mahali Mto Yordani unapoingilia,
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 ukapanda hadi Beth-Hogla, na kuendelea kaskazini mwa Beth-Araba hadi kwenye Jiwe la Bohani mwana wa Reubeni.
went up to Beth-hoglah, proceeded north of Beth-arabah, and went up to the Stone of Bohan son of Reuben.
7 Kisha mpaka ulipanda hadi Debiri kutoka Bonde la Akori na kugeuka kaskazini hadi Gilgali inayotazamana na materemko ya Adumimu, kusini mwa bonde. Ukaendelea sambamba hadi maji ya En-Shemeshi na kutokeza huko En-Rogeli.
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 Kisha ukapanda kwa kufuata Bonde la Ben-Hinomu sambamba na mteremko wa kusini wa mji mkubwa wa Wayebusi (yaani Yerusalemu). Kutoka hapo ukapanda juu ya kilima magharibi ya Bonde la Hinomu mwisho wa ncha ya kaskazini mwa Bonde la Warefai.
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 Kutoka juu ya kilima mpaka ule ukaendelea hadi kwenye chemchemi ya maji ya Neftoa, ukatokea kwenye miji ya Mlima Efroni na kuteremka kuelekea Baala (yaani Kiriath-Yearimu).
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 Kisha ukapinda upande wa magharibi kutoka Baala hadi Mlima Seiri, ukafuatia sambamba mteremko wa kaskazini mwa Mlima Yearimu (yaani Kesaloni), ukaendelea chini hadi Beth-Shemeshi na kukatiza hadi Timna.
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 Ukaelekea hadi kwenye mteremko wa kaskazini mwa Ekroni, ukageuka kuelekea Shikeroni, ukapita hadi Mlima Baala na kufika Yabineeli. Mpaka ule ukaishia baharini.
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 Mpaka wa magharibi ni pwani ya Bahari Kuu. Hii ndiyo mipaka ya watu wa Yuda kwa koo zao.
And the western border was the coastline of the Great Sea. These are the boundaries around the clans of the descendants of Judah.
13 Kwa kufuata maagizo ya Bwana kwake, Yoshua alimpa Kalebu mwana wa Yefune sehemu katika Yuda: Kiriath-Arba, yaani Hebroni (Arba alikuwa baba wa zamani 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 Kutoka Hebroni Kalebu alifukuza hao wana watatu wa Anaki, nao ni Sheshai, Ahimani na Talmai, wazao wa Anaki.
And Caleb drove out from there the three sons of Anak—the descendants of Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.
15 Kutoka hapo akaondoka kupigana dhidi ya watu walioishi Debiri (jina la Debiri hapo kwanza uliitwa Kiriath-Seferi).
From there he marched against the inhabitants of Debir (formerly known as Kiriath-sepher).
16 Kalebu akasema, “Nitamwoza binti yangu Aksa kwa mtu atakayeweza kupigana na kuteka Kiriath-Seferi.”
And Caleb said, “To the man who strikes down Kiriath-sepher and captures it, I will give my daughter Acsah in marriage.”
17 Basi Othnieli mwana wa Kenazi, ndugu yake Kalebu, akauteka; hivyo Kalebu akamtoa Aksa binti yake aolewe naye.
So Othniel son of Caleb’s brother Kenaz captured the city, and Caleb gave his daughter Acsah to him in marriage.
18 Siku moja Aksa alipokuja kwa Othnieli, alimsihi Othnieli amwombe baba yake, Kalebu, shamba. Aksa aliposhuka kutoka juu ya punda wake, Kalebu akamuuliza, “Je, wataka nikufanyie nini?”
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 Akamjibu, “Naomba unifanyie jambo moja la hisani. Kwa kuwa umenipa ardhi huko Negebu, nipe pia chemchemi za maji.” Basi Kalebu akampa chemchemi za juu na za chini.
“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 Huu ndio urithi wa kabila la Yuda, ukoo kwa ukoo:
This is the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Judah.
