1 Ugawanaji wa nchi kwa kabila la watu wa Yuda, walipewa kwa kufuatana na koo zao, kutoka upande wa kusini hadi mpaka wa Edomu, pamoja na nyika ya Sini iliyokuwa mbali sana kuelekea kusini.
And the lot for the tribe of the sons of Judah, for their families, is unto the border of Edom; the wilderness of Zin southward, at the extremity of the south;

and the border hath gone up the valley of the son of Hinnom, unto the side of the Jebusite on the south (it [is] Jerusalem), and the border hath gone up unto 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 Kisha mpaka ulitanuka kutoka katika kilele cha milima hata chemichemi ya Nefutoa, na ulipanda kutoka hapo kuelekea miji ya Mlima Efroni. Kisha mpaka ulipiga kona kuelekea Baala ( ambao ndio Kiriathi Yearimu).
and the border hath been marked out, from the top of the hill-country unto the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah, and hath gone out unto the cities of mount Ephron, and the border hath been marked out [to] Baalah, (it [is] Kirjath-Jearim);
10 Baadaye mpaka ulizunguka kuelekea magharibi mwa Baala kukabili Mlima Seiri, na kupita kufuata upande wa Mlima wa Yearimu katika upande wa kasikazini (ambao ndio Kesaloni), ulienda chini hadi Bethi Shemeshi na kuvuka hata ng'ambo ya Timna.
and the border hath gone round from Baalah westward, unto mount Seir, and passed over unto the side of mount Jearim (it [is] Chesalon), on the north, and gone down [to] Beth-Shemesh, and passed over to Timnah;
11 Mpaka uliendelea karibu na mlima wa kasikazini mwa mlima wa Ekroni, na kisha ukakata kona kuzunguka Shikeroni na kupita kuelekea sambasamba na Mlima Baala, kutoka hapo uliendelea hadi Yabneeli. Mpaka ule ulikomea katika bahari.
and the border hath gone out unto the side of Ekron northward, and the border hath been marked out [to] Shicron, and hath passed over to mount Baalah, and gone out [to] Jabneel; and the outgoings of the border have been at the sea.

And the west border [is] to the great sea, and [its] border; this [is] the border of the sons of Judah round about for their families.
13 Katika kulitunza agizo la Yahweh kwa Yoshua, Yoshua alimpa Kalebu mwana wa Yefune mgao wa nchi ya. miongoni mwa kabila la Yuda, alimgawia nchi Kiriathi Arba, ambayo ndio Hebroni (Arba alikuwa ni baba wa Anaki).
And to Caleb son of Jephunneh hath he given a portion in the midst of the sons of Judah, according to the command of Jehovah to Joshua, [even] the city of Arba, father of Anak — it [is] Hebron.
14 Kalebu aliwafukuzia mbali wana watatu wa Anaki: Sheshai, Ahimani na Talmai, wazawa wa Anaki.
And Caleb is dispossessing thence the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, children of Anak,
15 Alipanda kutoka pale kinyume cha wenyeji wa Debiri (Debiri hapo mwanzo iliitwa Kiriathi Seferi).
and he goeth up thence unto the inhabitants of Debir; and the name of Debir formerly is Kirjath-Sepher.
16 Kalebu akasema, “Mtu atakayeishambulia Kiriathi Seferi na kuiteka, nitampa binti yangau, Akisa, awe mke wake.
And Caleb saith, 'He who smiteth Kirjath-Sephar, and hath captured it — I have given to him Achsah my daughter for a wife.'
17 Wakati huo Othinieli mwana wa Kenazi, kaka yake na Kalebu, aliuteka mji, na Kalebu alimpatia Akisa, binti yake awe mke wake.
And Othniel son of Kenaz, brother of Caleb, doth capture it, and he giveth to him Achsah his daughter for a wife.
18 Mara baada ya hayo, Akisa alienda kwa Othinieli na alimsihi amwombe baba yake shamba. Na mara aliposhuka kutoka katika punda wake, Kalebu alimwambia Akisa, “Unataka nini?”
And it cometh to pass, in her coming in, that she persuadeth him to ask from her father a field, and she lighteth from off the ass, and Caleb saith to her, 'What — to thee?'
19 Akisa akamjibu, “Nifanyie neema. Kwa kuwa umeshanipa nchi ya Negevu, nipe pia baadhi ya chemichemi za maji.” Na Kalebu alimpa chemichemi ya juu na chemichemi ya chini.
And she saith, 'Give to me a blessing; when the land of the south thou hast given me, then thou hast given to me springs of waters;' and he giveth to her the upper springs and the lower springs.
