Qaybtii Yahuudah

15 Oo reer Yahuudah qabiilkoodii waxay qayb u heleen sidii ay reerahoodu ahaayeen ilaa soohdinta Edom, iyo tan iyo xataa cidlada Sin ee xagga koonfureed ka xigta, iyo xagga koonfureed ee ugu shishaysa. Oo soohdintooda koonfureedna waxay gaadhsiisnayd xagga ugu shishaysa ee Badda Cusbada leh, iyo tan iyo gacanka koonfur u jeeda, oo waxay u baxday xagga koonfureed ee jiirta Caqrabbiim, oo waxay u dhaaftay xagga Sin, oo haddana waxay martay xagga koonfureed oo Qaadeesh Barneeca, oo ay martay xagga Xesroon, oo waxay kor ugu baxday xagga Addaar, oo u laabatay xagga Qarqaacaa; oo waxay u sii dhaaftay xagga Casmoon, oo haddana waxay u baxday xagga durdurka Masar, oo soohdinta waxaa dhammaadkeedu ahaa badda; taasu waxay ahaan doontaa soohdintiinna koonfureed. Oo soohdinta barina waxay ahayd ilaa Badda Cusbada leh, iyo tan iyo meesha uu Webi Urdun ku dhammaado. Oo waaxda woqooyi soohdinteeduna waxay ahayd badda gacankeeda u dhow meesha uu Webi Urdun ku dhammaado; oo soohdintu waxay martay ilaa Beytxoglaah, oo waxay sii martay xagga woqooyi oo u dhow Beytcaraabaah; oo soohdintu waxay martay dhagaxii Bohan ina Ruubeen; oo soohdintu waxay sii martay Debiir, marka laga tago dooxadii Caakoor, iyo xagga woqooyi ee ku soo jeedda Gilgaal, taasu waxa weeyaan meel ku toosan jiirta Adummiim, taasoo ku taal webiga dhiniciisa koonfureed; oo soohdintu waxay sii martay biyaha Ceyn Shemesh, oo dhammaadkeedu wuxuu ahaa Ceyn Rogeel agteeda; oo soohdintu waxay sii martay dooxadii ina Xinnom iyo ilaa xagga koonfureed ee Yebuus. Taasu waa Yeruusaalem. Oo soohdintu waxay kor ugu baxday buurta ku taal dooxadii Xinnom horteeda ee xaggeeda galbeed, taasoo ku taal dooxada xagga woqooyi oo ugu fog ee reer Rafaa. Oo soohdintu waxay ka soo baxday buurta dhaladeeda ilaa isha biyaha ee Neftoo'ax, oo ay u baxday xagga magaalooyinkii ku yiil Buur Cefroon; oo soohdintu waxay sii martay xagga Bacalaah, (taasu waxa weeyaan Qiryad Yecaariim), 10 markaasay soohdintu ka laabatay Bacalaah galbeedkeeda ilaa Buur Seciir, oo waxay sii martay Buur Yecaariim dhinaceeda woqooyi (taasuna waxa weeyaan Kesaaloon), oo waxay hoos ugu dhaadhacday xagga Beytshemesh, oo waxay sii martay Timneh; 11 markaasay soohdintu u baxday dhinaca woqooyi oo Ceqroon; oo haddana soohdintu waxay u baxday Shikeroon, oo waxay sii martay Buur Bacalaah, oo waxay u baxday Yabne'eel agteeda; oo soohdinta dhammaadkeedu wuxuu ahaa badda. 12 Oo soohdinta xagga galbeedna waxay ahayd tan iyo badda weyn iyo xeebteeda. Intaasu waa soohdintii ku soo wareegi jirtay reer Yahuudah sida reerahoodu ahaayeen.

13 Oo wuxuu Kaaleeb ina Yefunneh qayb ka siiyey reer Yahuudah dhexdooda, sidii Rabbigu Yashuuca ugu amray, oo qaybtaas wuxuu ahaa Qiryad Arbac, kaas oo ahaa Canaaq aabbihiis (taasuna waxa weeyaan Xebroon). 14 Oo Kaaleebna halkaas wuxuu ka eryay saddexdii wiil oo Canaaq, kuwaasoo ahaa Sheeshay, iyo Axiiman, iyo Talmay, oo ahaa ilma Canaaq. 15 Oo halkaasuu ka tegey oo la diriray dadkii Debiir degganaa; oo waagii hore Debiir magaceeda waxaa la odhan jiray Qiryad Sefer. 16 Oo Kaaleeb wuxuu yidhi, Kii Qiryad Sefer intuu wax ku dhufta qabsada, waxaan u guurin doonaa gabadhayda Caksaah. 17 Markaasaa magaaladii waxaa qabsaday Cotnii'eel oo ahaa ina Qenas kii Kaaleeb walaal u ahaa, markaasuu Caksaah u guuriyey. 18 Oo markay isagii u timid waxay ku deddejisay inuu aabbeheed beer weyddiisto: oo markay dameerkeedii ka soo degtay ayaa Kaaleeb ku yidhi, Maxaad doonaysaa? 19 Kolkaasay ku tidhi, Hadiyad i sii, waayo, waxaad i siisay dalka Koonfureed, weliba i sii ilo biyo ah. Markaasuu siiyey ilihii sare iyo ilihii hoose.

Allotment for Judah(A)

15 The allotment for the tribe of Judah, according to its clans, extended down to the territory of Edom,(B) to the Desert of Zin(C) in the extreme south.(D)

Their southern boundary started from the bay at the southern end of the Dead Sea,(E) crossed south of Scorpion Pass,(F) continued on to Zin and went over to the south of Kadesh Barnea.(G) Then it ran past Hezron up to Addar and curved around to Karka. It then passed along to Azmon(H) and joined the Wadi of Egypt,(I) ending at the Mediterranean Sea. This is their[a] southern boundary.

The eastern boundary(J) is the Dead Sea(K) as far as the mouth of the Jordan.

The northern boundary(L) started from the bay of the sea at the mouth of the Jordan, went up to Beth Hoglah(M) and continued north of Beth Arabah(N) to the Stone of Bohan(O) son of Reuben. The boundary then went up to Debir(P) from the Valley of Achor(Q) and turned north to Gilgal,(R) which faces the Pass of Adummim south of the gorge. It continued along to the waters of En Shemesh(S) and came out at En Rogel.(T) Then it ran up the Valley of Ben Hinnom(U) along the southern slope of the Jebusite(V) city (that is, Jerusalem(W)). From there it climbed to the top of the hill west of the Hinnom Valley(X) at the northern end of the Valley of Rephaim.(Y) From the hilltop the boundary headed toward the spring of the waters of Nephtoah,(Z) came out at the towns of Mount Ephron and went down toward Baalah(AA) (that is, Kiriath Jearim).(AB) 10 Then it curved westward from Baalah(AC) to Mount Seir,(AD) ran along the northern slope of Mount Jearim (that is, Kesalon), continued down to Beth Shemesh(AE) and crossed to Timnah.(AF) 11 It went to the northern slope of Ekron,(AG) turned toward Shikkeron, passed along to Mount Baalah(AH) and reached Jabneel.(AI) The boundary ended at the sea.

12 The western boundary is the coastline of the Mediterranean Sea.(AJ)

These are the boundaries around the people of Judah by their clans.

13 In accordance with the Lord’s command to him, Joshua gave to Caleb(AK) son of Jephunneh a portion in Judah—Kiriath Arba(AL), that is, Hebron.(AM) (Arba was the forefather of Anak.)(AN) 14 From Hebron Caleb drove out the three Anakites(AO)—Sheshai, Ahiman and Talmai,(AP) the sons of Anak.(AQ) 15 From there he marched against the people living in Debir (formerly called Kiriath Sepher). 16 And Caleb said, “I will give my daughter Aksah(AR) in marriage to the man who attacks and captures Kiriath Sepher.” 17 Othniel(AS) son of Kenaz, Caleb’s brother, took it; so Caleb gave his daughter Aksah to him in marriage.

18 One day when she came to Othniel, she urged him[b] to ask her father for a field. When she got off her donkey, Caleb asked her, “What can I do for you?”

19 She replied, “Do me a special favor. Since you have given me land in the Negev,(AT) give me also springs of water.” So Caleb gave her the upper and lower springs.(AU)
