Josué 15
1 Et le lot, échu par le sort à la Tribu des fils de Juda en raison de leurs familles, fut: à la frontière d'Edom le désert de Tsin, au sud, à l'extrémité méridionale.
The land that was allotted to the tribe of Judah was divided among its clans. That land extended south along the border of the Edom region, as far as the Zin Desert.
2 Et leur frontière méridionale, partant de l'extrémité de la Mer Salée, de la pointe tournée au midi,
The southern border of the land that was allotted to the tribe of Judah started at the south end of the Dead Sea [and extended west].
3 courait au sud de la Hauteur des scorpions, puis passant à Tsin remontait du midi de Cadès-Barnéa, d'où passant à Hetsron elle montait vers Addar pour tourner vers Karka
It extended south of Scorpion Pass to Zin [Desert], and from there west to a place south of Kadesh-Barnea, past Hezron [town], to Addar [town], and from there it turned [northwest] to Karka [town].
4 et passer à Atsmon pour déboucher au Torrent d'Egypte et aboutir à la Mer. Telle sera votre frontière au midi.
From there it continued to Azmon, and from there to the dry riverbed on the border of Egypt, and from there [west] to the [Mediterranean] Sea. That was the southern border.
5 Et la frontière orientale fut la Mer Salée jusqu'à l'embouchure du Jourdain. Et la frontière du côté du nord partait de la pointe de la Mer [Salée], de l'embouchure du Jourdain
The eastern border of the land of the tribe of Judah was the Dead Sea, and it extended [north] to [where the Jordan River ends at] the Dead Sea.
6 montait vers Beth-Hogla, et passait au nord de Beth-Araba, puis montait à la Pierre de Bohan, fils de Ruben, puis du Val d'Achor la frontière
The northern border started where the Jordan River ends at the Dead Sea. It extended [north] to Beth-Hoglah [town], and from there it extended north of Beth-Arabah [town] to the [big] stone [set up by] Reuben’s son Bohan.
7 montait à Debir et au nord contournait vers Guilgal située vis-à-vis de l'éminence d'Adummim qui est au sud de la rivière. Ensuite la frontière continuait jusqu'aux Eaux de la Fontaine du soleil et venait aboutir à la Fontaine des éclaireurs.
From there the border continued west through Achor Valley to Debir [city]. From there it turned north to Gilgal [city]. Gilgal is north of the road that goes through Adummim Pass, on the south side of the valley. From Gilgal the border extended west to the springs at En-Shemesh, and from there to En-Rogel.
8 De là elle montait à la vallée des fils de Hinnom au gradin méridional des Jébusites, c'est-à-dire, de Jérusalem, puis gagnait le sommet de la montagne à l'occident de la vallée de Hinnom qui est à l'extrémité septentrionale de la vallée de Rephaïm.
From there it extended through Ben-Hinnom Valley, south of the city where the Jebus people-group lived. (That city is now named Jerusalem.) From there the border extended to the top of the hill on the west side of Hinnom Valley, at the northern end of the valley where the Repha [giants] lived.
9 Et du sommet de la montagne la frontière était tracée jusqu'à la Fontaine des Eaux de Nephthoah et continuait jusqu'aux villes de la montagne d'Ephron et suivait une ligne jusqu'à Baalah, c'est-à-dire, Kiriath-Jearim.
From there the border extended [northwest] to Nephtoah Spring, and from there to the cities near Ephron Mountain. From there the border extended [west] toward Baalah, which is now named Kiriath-Jearim.
10 Et de Baalah elle tournait à l'ouest vers le mont Séir et traversant le gradin septentrional du mont de Jearim, c'est-à-dire, Chessalon, elle descendait à Beth-Sémès et continuait jusqu'à Thimna.
Then the border extended further west to Seir Mountain. Then it continued [southwest] along the north side of Jearim Mountain, which is also named Kesalon, to Beth-Shemesh [city]. From there it extended [northwest] past Timnah [city],
11 De là suivant le gradin septentrional de Ecron elle se dirigeait vers Sichron et allait au mont Baalah et atteignait Jabnéel, pour aboutir à la mer.
to the hill north of Ekron [city]. From there it extended [west] to Shikkeron [town] and past Baalah Mountain to Jabneel [town], then [northwest] to the [Mediterranean] Sea.
12 Et la frontière occidentale est formée par la Mer, la Grande Mer et la côte. Telle est la frontière des fils de Juda de tous les côtés, en raison de leurs familles.
The western border of the land that was allotted to the tribe of Judah was the Mediterranean Sea. All the clans of Judah lived inside those borders.
13 Et à Caleb, fils de Jephunné, il donna pour portion au milieu des fils de Juda, comme l'Éternel l'avait ordonné à Josué, la ville de Arba, père des Anakites, c'est-à-dire, Hébron.
Yahweh commanded Joshua to give part of the land for the tribe of Judah to Caleb. So he gave to Caleb Kiriath-Arba [city], which is now named Hebron. (Arba was the ancestor of the Anak people-group.)
14 Et Caleb en expulsa les trois fils d'Anak, Sesaï et Ahiman et Thalmaï, issus d'Anak.
Caleb forced the three clans of the Anak people-group to leave Hebron. Those were the Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai clans.
15 Et de là il monta pour attaquer les habitants de Debir (jadis Debir portait le nom de Kiriath-Sépher).
Then Caleb left there and went to fight against the people living in Debir [city], which was previously named Kiriath-Sepher.
16 Et Caleb dit: A celui qui réduira et prendra Kiriath-Sépher, je donnerai pour femme Achsa, ma fille.
Caleb said, “If someone attacks [the people in] Kiriath-Sepher and captures their city, I will give my daughter Acsah to him to be his wife.”
17 Et Othniel, fils de Kénaz, frère de Caleb, s'en empara, et Caleb lui donna pour femme sa fille Achsa.
Othniel, the son of Caleb’s brother Kenaz, captured the city. So Caleb gave his daughter to him.
18 Et à son entrée chez lui elle l'incita à demander un champ à son père; et de dessus l'âne qu'elle montait, elle mit pied à terre.
When Caleb’s daughter married Othniel, she told him to ask her father to give her a field. Then Acsah went to talk with her father Caleb. As she got down from her donkey, Caleb asked her, “Do you want something?”
19 Et Caleb lui dit: Qu'as-tu? Et elle dit: Accorde-moi un bienfait! puisque tu m'as donné la contrée du midi, donne-moi aussi des sources d'eaux. Alors il lui donna les sources supérieures et les sources inférieures.
Acsah replied, “Yes, I want you to do something for me. You have given me some land in the southern part of Canaan, [but there is no water there]. So please give me some [land that has] springs.” So Caleb gave her the upper and lower springs [near Hebron].
20 Tel est le lot de la Tribu des fils de Juda, d'après leurs familles.
