¹The lot for the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families was to the border of Edom, even to the wilderness of Zin southward, at the uttermost part of the south.

¹Mugove worudzi rwavana vaJudha nemhuri dzavo wakasvikira

²Their south border was from the uttermost part of the Salt Sea, from the bay that looks southward;

²Muganhu wavo wezasi wakabva pamuganhu weGungwa roMunyu, kubva apo pakapinda nyika mugungwa, panotarira kurutivi rwezasi;

³and it went out southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and went up by the south of Kadesh Barnea, and passed along by Hezron, went up to Addar, and turned about to Karka;

⁵The east border was the Salt Sea, even to the end of the Jordan. The border of the north quarter was from the bay of the sea at the end of the Jordan.

⁷The border went up to Debir from the valley of Achor, and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, that is over against the ascent of Adummim, which is on the south side of the river. The border passed along to the waters of En Shemesh, and ended at En Rogel.

⁸The border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom to the side of the Jebusite southward (the same is Jerusalem); and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lies before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the farthest part of the valley of Rephaim northward.

⁸muganhu ndokukwira napamupata womwanakomana waHinomi, kusvikira kurutivi rwavaJebhusi zasi (ndiro Jerusaremu); muganhu ndokukwira kusvikira pamusoro wegomo riri pamberi pomupata weHinomi kumavirazuva, uri pamugumo kwazvo womupata weRefaimu, kurutivi rwokumusoro.

⁹The border extended from the top of the mountain to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of Mount Ephron; and the border extended to Baalah (the same is Kiriath Jearim);

⁹Muganhu ndokumonereka kubva pamusoro pegomo kusvikira kutsime remvura yeNefitoa, ndokuguma pamaguta pagomo reEfuroni; zvino muganhu ndokutarwa kusvikira Bhara (ndiro Kiriati-jearimi).

¹⁰Muganhu ndokudzoka uchibva paBhara nokumavirazuva kusvikira pagomo reSeiri, ndokupfuura nokurutivi rwegomo reJearimi nechokumusoro (ndiro Kesaroni), ndokuburukira kusvikira paBheti-shemeshi, ndokupfuura napaTimuna;

¹²Muganhu wokumavirazuva wakasvika kugungwa guru nenyika yaro. Ndiwo muganhu wavana vaJudha kunhivi dzose nemhuri dzavo.

¹³To Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a portion among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of Yahweh to Joshua, even Kiriath Arba, named after the father of Anak (the same is Hebron).

¹³Asi wakapa Karebhu mwanakomana waJefune mugove pakati pavana vaJudha; sezvakarairwa Joshua naJehovha, akamupa Kiriati-abha; Abha wakange ari baba vaAnaki (ndiro Hebhuroni).

¹⁴Caleb drove out the three sons of Anak: Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.

¹⁴Karebhu akadzingapo vanakomana vatatu vaAnaki, vaiti: Sheshai, naAhimani, naTamai, vanakomana vaAnaki.

¹⁵He went up against the inhabitants of Debir: now the name of Debir before was Kiriath Sepher.

¹⁵Akabvapo, akandorwa navaigara Dhebhiri; zita reDhebhiri kare raiva Kiriati-seferi.

¹⁶Caleb said, “He who strikes Kiriath Sepher, and takes it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter as wife.”

¹⁶Karebhu akati, Munhu unorwa neKiriati-seferi, akarikunda, ndichamupa mukunda wangu Akisa, ave mukadzi wake.

¹⁷Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife.

¹⁷Ipapo Otinieri, mwanakomana waKenazi, munin'ina waKarebhu, akarikunda; iye akamupa mukunda wake Akisa, akava mukadzi wake.

¹⁸It happened, when she came, that she had him ask her father fore a field. She got off of her donkey, and Caleb said, “What do you want?”

¹⁸Zvino iye wakati achisvika kwaari, akamukurudzira kuti akumbire munda kuna baba vake; zvino iye akaburuka pambongoro yake, Karebhu akati kwaari, Unoreveiko?

¹⁹She said, “Give me a blessing. Because you have set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water.” He gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.

¹⁹Akati, Ndipei chipo; zvamakandiisa kunyika yezasi, ndipeiwo matsime emvura. Akamupa matsime okumusoro namatsime ezasi.
