Joshua 15
1 Now the part of the land marked out for the children of Judah by families, went up to the edge of Edom, as far as the waste land of Zin to the south, to the farthest point of it on the south.
Loddet faldt for Judæernes Stamme efter deres Slægter saaledes, at deres Landomraade strækker sig hen imod Edoms Omraade, Zins Ørken mod Syd, yderst mod Syd.
2 Their south limit was from the farthest part of the Salt Sea, from the inlet looking to the south:
Deres Sydgrænse begynder ved Enden af Salthavet, ved den sydlige Bugt,
3 From there it goes south of the slope up to Akrabbim, and on to Zin, then south past Kadesh-barnea, and on by Hezron and up to Addar, turning in the direction of Karka:
og løber sønden om Akrabbimpasset, gaar videre til Zin, strækker sig opad sønden om Kadesj-Barnea og gaar derpaa videre til Hezron og op til Addar; saa drejer den om mod Karka'a,
4 Then on to Azmon, ending at the stream of Egypt: and the end of the limit is at the sea; this will be your limit on the south.
gaar videre til Azmon og fortsætter til Ægyptens Bæk; saa ender Grænsen ved Havet. Det er deres Sydgrænse.
5 And the east limit is the Salt Sea as far as the end of Jordan. And the limit of the north part of the land is from the inlet of the sea at the end of Jordan:
Østgrænsen er Salthavet indtil Jordans Udløb. Nordgrænsen begynder ved Havets Bugt ved Jordans Udløb;
6 Then the line goes up to Beth-hoglah, past the north of Beth-arabah, and up to the stone of Bohan, the son of Reuben;
derpaa strækker Grænsen sig opad til Bet-Hogla og gaar videre norden om Bet-Araba; saa strækker Grænsen sig opad til Rubens Søn Bohans Sten;
7 Then the line goes up to Debir from the valley of Achor, and so to the north, in the direction of Gilgal, which is opposite the slope up to Adummim, on the south side of the river: and the line goes on to the waters of En-shemesh, ending at En-rogel:
derpaa strækker Grænsen sig fra Akors Dal op til Debir og drejer nordpaa til Gilgal, som ligger lige over for Adummimpasset sønden for Dalen; derefter gaar Grænsen videre over til Vandet ved Sjemesjkilden og ender ved Rogelkilden;
8 Then the line goes up by the valley of the son of Hinnom to the south side of the Jebusite (which is Jerusalem): then up to the top of the mountain in front of the valley of Hinnom to the west, which is at the farthest point of the valley of Rephaim on the north:
derpaa strækker Grænsen sig op i Hinnoms Søns Dal til Sydsiden af Jebusiternes Bjergryg, det er Jerusalem; derpaa strækker Grænsen sig op til Toppen af Bjerget lige vesten for Hinnoms Dal ved Refaimdalens Nordende;
9 And the limit is marked out from the top of the mountain to the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah, and out to the towns of Mount Ephron, as far as Baalah (which is Kiriath-jearim):
derpaa bøjer Grænsen fra Toppen af dette Bjerg ben til Neftoas Vandkilde og løber videre til Byerne paa Efronbjerget; saa bøjer Grænsen om til Ba'ala, det er Kirjat-Jearim;
10 Then turning west, the line goes from Baalah to Mount Seir, and on to the side of Mount Jearim (which is Chesalon) on the north, then down to Beth-shemesh, and on past Timnah:
derpaa drejer Grænsen om fra Ba'ala mod Vest til Se'irbjerget, gaar videre til Jearimbjergets nordre Udløber, det er Kesalon: saa strækker den sig ned til Bet-Sjemesj og gaar videre til Timna;
11 And out to the side of Ekron to the north: then it is marked out to Shikkeron and on to Mount Baalah, ending at Jabneel; the end of the line is at the sea.
derpaa løber Grænsen i nordlig Retning til Bjergryggen ved Ekron; saa bøjer Grænsen om til Sjikkaron, gaar videre til Ba'alabjerget, løber til Jabne'el og ender ved Havet.
12 And the limit on the west is the edge of the Great Sea. This is the line going round the land marked out for the children of Judah, by their families.
Vestgrænsen er det store Hav. Det er Grænsen rundt om Judæernes Omraade efter deres Slægter.
13 And to Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, he gave a part among the children of Judah, as the Lord had given orders to Joshua, that is, Kiriath-arba, named after Arba, the father of Anak which is Hebron.
Men Kaleb, Jefunnes Søn, gav han et Stykke Land imellem Judæerne efter HERRENS Befaling til Josua: Anaks Stamfader Arbas By, det er Hebron;
14 And the three sons of Anak, Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai, the children of Anak, were forced out from there by Caleb.
og Kaleb drev de tre Anakiter bort derfra, Sjesjaj, Abiman og Talmaj, der nedstammede fra Anak.
15 From there he went up against the people of Debir: (now the name of Debir before that was Kiriath-sepher.)
Derfra drog han op mod Debirs Indbyggere; Debir hed fordum Kirjat-Sefer.
16 And Caleb said, I will give Achsah, my daughter, as wife to the man who overcomes Kiriath-sepher and takes it.
Da sagde Kaleb: »Den, som slaar Kirjat-Sefer og indtager det, giver jeg min Datter Aksa til Hustru!«
17 And Othniel, the son of Kenaz, Caleb's brother, took it: so he gave him his daughter Achsah for his wife.
Og da Kenizziten Otniel, Kalebs Broder, indtog det, gav han ham sin Datter Aksa til Hustru.
18 Now when she came to him, he put into her mind the idea of requesting a field from her father: and she got down from her ass; and Caleb said to her, What is it?
Men da hun kom til ham, æggede han hende til at bede sin Fader om Agerland. Hun sprang da ned af Æselet, og Kaleb spurgte hende: »Hvad vil du?«
19 And she said, Give me a blessing; because you have put me in dry south-land, now give me springs of water. So he gave her the higher spring and the lower spring.
Hun svarede: »Giv mig en Velsignelse! Siden du har bortgiftet mig i det tørre Sydland, maa du give mig Vandkilder!« Da gav han hende de øvre og de nedre Vandkilder.
