Joshua 15

1 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:

1 وَكَانَتِ ٱلْقُرْعَةُ لِسِبْطِ بَنِي يَهُوذَا حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ: إِلَى تُخْمِ أَدُومَ بَرِّيَّةَ صِينَ نَحْوَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ، أَقْصَى ٱلتَّيْمَنِ.

2 Their southern border started at the bay on the southern tip of the Salt Sea,

2 وَكَانَ تُخْمُهُمُ ٱلْجَنُوبِيُّ أَقْصَى بَحْرِ ٱلْمِلْحِ مِنَ ٱللِّسَانِ ٱلْمُتَوَجِّهِ نَحْوَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ.

3 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.

3 وَخَرَجَ إِلَى جَنُوبِ عَقَبَةِ عَقْرِبِّيمَ وَعَبَرَ إِلَى صِينَ، وَصَعِدَ مِنْ جَنُوبِ قَادَشِ بَرْنِيعَ وَعَبَرَ إِلَى حَصْرُونَ، وَصَعِدَ إِلَى أَدَّارَ إِلَى ٱلْقَرْقَعِ،

4 It proceeded to Azmon, joined the Brook of Egypt, and ended at the Sea. This was their southern border.

4 وَعَبَرَ إِلَى عَصْمُونَ وَخَرَجَ إِلَى وَادِي مِصْرَ. وَكَانَتْ مَخَارِجُ ٱلتُّخْمِ عِنْدَ ٱلْبَحْرِ. هَذَا يَكُونُ تُخْمُكُمُ ٱلْجَنُوبِيُّ.

5 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,

5 وَتُخْمُ ٱلشَّرْقِ بَحْرُ ٱلْمِلْحِ إِلَى طَرَفِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ. وَتُخْمُ جَانِبِ ٱلشِّمَالِ مِنْ لِسَانِ ٱلْبَحْرِ أَقْصَى ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ.

6 went up to Beth-hoglah, proceeded north of Beth-arabah, and went up to the Stone of Bohan son of Reuben.

6 وَصَعِدَ ٱلتُّخْمُ إِلَى بَيْتِ حُجْلَةَ وَعَبَرَ مِنْ شِمَالِ بَيْتِ ٱلْعَرَبَةِ، وَصَعِدَ ٱلتُّخْمُ إِلَى حَجَرِ بُوهَنَ بْنِ رَأُوبَيْنَ،

7 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.

7 وَصَعِدَ ٱلتُّخْمُ إِلَى دَبِيرَ مِنْ وَادِي عَخُورَ وَتَوَجَّهَ نَحْوَ ٱلشِّمَالِ إِلَى ٱلْجِلْجَالِ ٱلَّتِي مُقَابِلَ عَقَبَةِ أَدُمِّيمَ ٱلَّتِي مِنْ جَنُوبِيِّ ٱلْوَادِي. وَعَبَرَ ٱلتُّخْمُ إِلَى مِيَاهِ عَيْنِ شَمْسٍ، وَكَانَتْ مَخَارِجُهُ إِلَى عَيْنِ رُوجَلَ.

8 From there the border went up the Valley of Ben-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.

8 وَصَعِدَ ٱلتُّخْمُ فِي وَادِي ٱبْنِ هِنُّومَ إِلَى جَانِبِ ٱلْيَبُوسِيِّ مِنَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ، هِيَ أُورُشَلِيمُ. وَصَعِدَ ٱلتُّخْمُ إِلَى رَأْسِ ٱلْجَبَلِ ٱلَّذِي قُبَالَةَ وَادِي هِنُّومَ غَرْبًا، ٱلَّذِي هُوَ فِي طَرَفِ وَادِي ٱلرَّفَائِيِّينَ شِمَالًا.

9 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).

9 وَٱمْتَدَّ ٱلتُّخْمُ مِنْ رَأْسِ ٱلْجَبَلِ إِلَى مَنْبَعِ مِيَاهِ نَفْتُوحَ، وَخَرَجَ إِلَى مُدُنِ جَبَلِ عِفْرُونَ وَٱمْتَدَّ ٱلتُّخْمُ إِلَى بَعَلَةَ، هِيَ قَرْيَةُ يَعَارِيمَ.

10 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.

10 وَٱمْتَدَّ ٱلتُّخْمُ مِنْ بَعَلَةَ غَرْبًا إِلَى جَبَلِ سَعِيرَ، وَعَبَرَ إِلَى جَانِبِ جَبَلِ يَعَارِيمَ مِنَ ٱلشِّمَالِ، هِيَ كَسَالُونُ. وَنَزَلَ إِلَى بَيْتِ شَمْسٍ وَعَبَرَ إِلَى تِمْنَةَ.

11 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.

11 وَخَرَجَ ٱلتُّخْمُ إِلَى جَانِبِ عَقْرُونَ نَحْوَ ٱلشِّمَالِ وَٱمْتَدَّ ٱلتُّخْمُ إِلَى شَكْرُونَ وَعَبَرَ جَبَلَ ٱلْبَعَلَةِ وَخَرَجَ إِلَى يَبْنِئِيلَ. وَكَانَ مَخَارِجُ ٱلتُّخُمِ عِنْدَ ٱلْبَحْرِ.

12 And the western border was the coastline of the Great Sea. These are the boundaries around the clans of the descendants of Judah.

12 وَٱلتُّخْمُ ٱلْغَرْبِيُّ ٱلْبَحْرُ ٱلْكَبِيرُ وَتُخُومُهُ. هَذَا تُخْمُ بَنِي يَهُوذَا مُسْتَدِيرٌ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ.

13 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.)

13 وَأَعْطَى كَالَبُ بْنَ يَفُنَّةَ قِسْمًا فِي وَسَطِ بَنِي يَهُوذَا حَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ لِيَشُوعَ: قَرْيَةَ أَرْبَعَ أَبِي عَنَاقَ، هِيَ حَبْرُونُ.

14 And Caleb drove out from there the three sons of Anak—the descendants of Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.

14 وَطَرَدَ كَالَبُ مِنْ هُنَاكَ بَنِي عَنَاقَ ٱلثَّلَاثَةَ: شِيشَايَ وَأَخِيمَانَ وَتَلْمَايَ، أَوْلَادَ عَنَاقَ.

15 From there he marched against the inhabitants of Debir (formerly known as Kiriath-sepher).

15 وَصَعِدَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ إِلَى سُكَّانِ دَبِيرَ. وَكَانَ ٱسْمُ دَبِيرَ قَبْلًا قَرْيَةَ سِفْرٍ

16 And Caleb said, “To the man who strikes down Kiriath-sepher and captures it, I will give my daughter Acsah in marriage.”

16 وَقَالَ كَالَبُ: «مَنْ يَضْرِبُ قَرْيَةَ سِفْرٍ وَيَأْخُذُهَا أُعْطِيهِ عَكْسَةَ ٱبْنَتِي ٱمْرَأَةً».

17 So Othniel son of Caleb’s brother Kenaz captured the city, and Caleb gave his daughter Acsah to him in marriage.

17 فَأَخَذَهَا عُثْنِيئِيلُ بْنُ قَنَازَ أَخُو كَالَبَ. فَأَعْطَاهُ عَكْسَةَ ٱبْنَتَهُ ٱمْرَأَةً.

18 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?”

18 وَكَانَ عِنْدَ دُخُولِهَا أَنَّهَا غَرَّتْهُ بِطَلَبِ حَقْلٍ مِنْ أَبِيهَا. فَنَزَلَتْ عَنِ ٱلْحِمَارِ فَقَالَ لَهَا كَالَبُ: «مَا لَكِ؟»

19 “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.

19 فَقَالَتْ: «أَعْطِنِي بَرَكَةً. لِأَنَّكَ أَعْطَيْتَنِي أَرْضَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ فَأَعْطِنِي يَنَابِيعَ مَاءٍ». فَأَعْطَاهَا ٱلْيَنَابِيعَ ٱلْعُلْيَا وَٱلْيَنَابِيعَ ٱلسُّفْلَى.

20 This is the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Judah.

20 هَذَا نَصِيبُ سِبْطِ بَنِي يَهُوذَا حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ:

21 These were the southernmost cities of the tribe of Judah in the Negev toward the border of Edom: Kabzeel, Eder, Jagur,

21 وَكَانَتِ ٱلْمُدُنُ ٱلْقُصْوَى ٱلَّتِي لِسِبْطِ بَنِي يَهُوذَا إِلَى تُخْمِ أَدُومَ جَنُوبًا: قَبْصِئِيلَ وَعِيدَرَ وَيَاجُورَ،

63 But the descendants of Judah could not drive out the Jebusites living in Jerusalem. So to this day the Jebusites live there among the descendants of Judah.

63 وَأَمَّا ٱلْيَبُوسِيُّونَ ٱلسَّاكِنُونَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ فَلَمْ يَقْدِرْ بَنُو يَهُوذَا عَلَى طَرْدِهِمْ، فَسَكَنَ ٱلْيَبُوسِيُّونَ مَعَ بَنِي يَهُوذَا فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ.
