Magandang Balita Biblia (with Deuterocanon)
Ang Lupang para sa Lipi ni Juda
15 Ang lupaing napapunta sa lipi ni Juda ay mula sa dulo ng Edom at hanggang sa ilang ng Zin sa kaduluhan sa gawing timog.
Ito ang pinaghati-hatian ng mga angkang bumubuo ng lipi. 2 Nagmula ang hangganan ng lupaing ito sa timog ng Dagat na Patay, 3 nagtuloy sa Landas ng Acrabim, at lumampas patungo sa ilang ng Zin. Buhat doo'y umahon sa Kades-barnea, nagdaan ng Hezron, nagtuloy sa Adar at lumikong patungo sa Carca. 4 Matapos tahakin ang Asmona, tinunton ang batis ng Egipto at nagtapos sa Dagat Mediteraneo. Ito ang hangganan ng Juda sa timog.
5 Sa gawing silangan ang hangganan ng lupaing ito'y ang Dagat na Patay hanggang sa bunganga ng Jordan. Dito naman nagsimula ang hangganang hilaga. 6 Umahon ito sa balikat ng Beth-hogla, dumaan sa hilaga ng Beth-araba at nagtuloy sa Bato ni Bohan, na anak ni Ruben. 7 Buhat sa Libis ng Kaguluhan, umahon sa Debir at nagtuloy sa hilaga. Lumiko ito patungong Gilgal na nasa tapat ng Pag-ahon sa Adumim sa timog ng libis, tumawid ng batis ng En-shemes at nagtuloy sa Batis ng En-rogel. 8 Buhat dito'y paahong tinahak ang Libis ng Ben Hinom na nasa timog ng burol ng mga Jebuseo (na tinatawag ding Jerusalem). Umahon uli patungo sa taluktok ng bundok na nasa tapat ng kanluran ng Libis ng Ben Hinom at sa dulong hilaga ng Libis ng Refaim. 9 Buhat sa taluktok ng bundok ay lumikong patungo sa Batis ng Neftoa, at lumabas sa mga lunsod sa Bundok ng Efron, at bumaling na papuntang Baala (na tinatawag ding Lunsod ng Jearim). 10 Umikot sa kanluran ng Baala patungo sa Bundok ng Seir, nagdaan sa libis na hilaga ng Bundok Jearim (na tinatawag ding Kesalon), lumusong na patungong Beth-semes, at nagtuloy sa Timna. 11 Buhat naman dito, umahon sa libis ng Bundok sa hilaga ng Ekron at bumaling na papuntang Sicron. Tinahak ang Bundok ng Baala, lumabas sa Jabneel, at nagtapos sa Dagat Mediteraneo na siyang naging 12 hangganan sa kanluran. Ito ang mga hangganan ng lupaing napapunta sa lipi ni Juda na pinaghati-hatian ng mga angkang bumubuo ng lipi.
Sinakop ni Caleb ang Hebron at Debir(A)
13 Gaya(B) ng sinabi ni Yahweh kay Josue, isang bahagi ng lupaing kaparte ng lipi ni Juda ay ibinigay kay Caleb na anak ni Jefune. Ibinigay sa kanya ang Hebron, ang lunsod na dating sakop ni Arba na ama ni Anac. 14 Pinalayas ni Caleb sa lupaing iyon ang tatlong anak na lalaki ni Anac: sina Sesai, Ahiman at Talmai. 15 Pagkatapos, nilusob niya ang Debir, na noong una'y tinatawag na Lunsod ng Sefer. 16 At sinabi ni Caleb, “Ipakakasal ko ang anak kong si Acsa sa sinumang sumalakay at sumakop sa Lunsod ng Sefer.” 17 Si Otniel na anak ni Kenaz na kapatid ni Caleb ang nakagawa niyon, kaya't si Acsa'y ipinakasal ni Caleb kay Otniel. 18 Nang makasal na ang dalawa, sinabi ni Otniel sa asawa na humingi ng isang bukirin kay Caleb na kanyang ama. Pumunta nga si Acsa kay Caleb, at pagkababa sa asnong sinasakyan, tinanong siya ni Caleb, “Anong kailangan mo?”
19 Sumagot si Acsa, “Bigyan mo po ako ng makukunan ng tubig, sapagkat lupang tigang ang ibinigay mo sa akin.” Kaya't ibinigay sa kanya ni Caleb ang mga bukal sa gawing itaas at sa gawing ibaba.

Joshua 15
King James Version
15 This then was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah by their families; even to the border of Edom the wilderness of Zin southward was the uttermost part of the south coast.
2 And their south border was from the shore of the salt sea, from the bay that looketh southward:
3 And it went out to the south side to Maalehacrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and ascended up on the south side unto Kadeshbarnea, and passed along to Hezron, and went up to Adar, and fetched a compass to Karkaa:
4 From thence it passed toward Azmon, and went out unto the river of Egypt; and the goings out of that coast were at the sea: this shall be your south coast.
5 And the east border was the salt sea, even unto the end of Jordan. And their border in the north quarter was from the bay of the sea at the uttermost part of Jordan:
6 And the border went up to Bethhogla, and passed along by the north of Betharabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben:
7 And the border went up toward Debir from the valley of Achor, and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, that is before the going up to Adummim, which is on the south side of the river: and the border passed toward the waters of Enshemesh, and the goings out thereof were at Enrogel:
8 And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom unto the south side of the Jebusite; the same is Jerusalem: and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lieth before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the end of the valley of the giants northward:
9 And the border was drawn from the top of the hill unto the fountain of the water of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of mount Ephron; and the border was drawn to Baalah, which is Kirjathjearim:
10 And the border compassed from Baalah westward unto mount Seir, and passed along unto the side of mount Jearim, which is Chesalon, on the north side, and went down to Bethshemesh, and passed on to Timnah:
11 And the border went out unto the side of Ekron northward: and the border was drawn to Shicron, and passed along to mount Baalah, and went out unto Jabneel; and the goings out of the border were at the sea.
12 And the west border was to the great sea, and the coast thereof. This is the coast of the children of Judah round about according to their families.
13 And unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a part among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of the Lord to Joshua, even the city of Arba the father of Anak, which city is Hebron.
14 And Caleb drove thence the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.
15 And he went up thence to the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before was Kirjathsepher.
16 And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjathsepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.
17 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.
18 And it came to pass, as she came unto him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she lighted off her ass; and Caleb said unto her, What wouldest thou?
19 Who answered, Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a south land; give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs, and the nether springs.
20 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families.

63 As for the Jebusites the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the children of Judah could not drive them out; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem unto this day.

The Allotment for Judah
15 The allotment for the tribe of the people of Judah according to their clans reached southward (A)to the boundary of Edom, to (B)the wilderness of Zin at the farthest south. 2 And their south boundary ran from the end of the (C)Salt Sea, from the bay that faces southward. 3 It goes out southward of (D)the ascent of Akrabbim, passes along to Zin, and goes up south of Kadesh-barnea, along by Hezron, up to Addar, turns about to Karka, 4 passes along to Azmon, goes out by (E)the Brook of Egypt, and comes to its end at the sea. This shall be your south boundary. 5 And the east boundary is the (F)Salt Sea, to the mouth of the Jordan. And the boundary on the north side runs from the bay of the sea at the mouth of the Jordan. 6 And the boundary goes up to (G)Beth-hoglah and passes along north of (H)Beth-arabah. And the boundary goes up to (I)the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben. 7 And the boundary goes up to Debir from (J)the Valley of Achor, and so northward, turning toward Gilgal, which is opposite (K)the ascent of Adummim, which is on the south side of the valley. And the boundary passes along to the waters of (L)En-shemesh and ends at (M)En-rogel. 8 Then the boundary goes up by (N)the Valley of the Son of Hinnom at the southern shoulder of the Jebusite ((O)that is, Jerusalem). And the boundary goes up to the top of the mountain that lies over against the Valley of Hinnom, on the west, at the northern end of the Valley (P)of Rephaim. 9 Then the boundary extends from the top of the mountain (Q)to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah, and from there to the cities of Mount Ephron. Then the boundary bends around to Baalah ((R)that is, Kiriath-jearim). 10 And the boundary circles west of Baalah to Mount Seir, passes along to the northern shoulder of Mount Jearim (that is, Chesalon), and goes down to (S)Beth-shemesh and passes along by (T)Timnah. 11 The boundary goes out (U)to the shoulder of the hill north of Ekron, then the boundary bends around to Shikkeron and passes along to Mount (V)Baalah and goes out to Jabneel. Then the boundary comes to an end at the sea. 12 And the west boundary was (W)the Great Sea with its coastline. This is the boundary around the people of Judah according to their clans.
13 According to the commandment of the Lord to Joshua, he gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh a portion among the people of Judah, (X)Kiriath-arba, that is, (Y)Hebron (Arba was the father of Anak). 14 And Caleb drove out from there the three sons of Anak, (Z)Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai, the descendants of Anak. 15 And he went up from there against the inhabitants of Debir. (AA)Now the name of Debir formerly was Kiriath-sepher. 16 And Caleb said, “He who attacks Kiriath-sepher and captures it, I will give him Achsah my daughter as wife.” 17 (AB)And Othniel the son of Kenaz, (AC)the brother of Caleb, captured it. And he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife. 18 When she came to him, she urged him to ask her father for a field. And she dismounted from her donkey, and Caleb said to her, “What do you want?” 19 She said to him, “Give me a blessing. Since you have given me the land of the Negeb, give me also springs of water.” And he gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
20 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the people of Judah according to their clans. 21 The cities belonging to the tribe of the people of Judah in the extreme south, toward the boundary of Edom, were Kabzeel, (AD)Eder, Jagur, 22 Kinah, Dimonah, Adadah, 23 Kedesh, Hazor, Ithnan, 24 (AE)Ziph, Telem, Bealoth, 25 Hazor-hadattah, Kerioth-hezron (that is, Hazor), 26 Amam, Shema, Moladah, 27 Hazar-gaddah, Heshmon, Beth-pelet, 28 Hazar-shual, (AF)Beersheba, Biziothiah, 29 Baalah, Iim, Ezem, 30 Eltolad, Chesil, Hormah, 31 (AG)Ziklag, Madmannah, Sansannah, 32 Lebaoth, Shilhim, Ain, and Rimmon: in all, twenty-nine cities with their villages.
33 And in the lowland, (AH)Eshtaol, Zorah, Ashnah, 34 Zanoah, En-gannim, Tappuah, Enam, 35 (AI)Jarmuth, (AJ)Adullam, (AK)Socoh, (AL)Azekah, 36 Shaaraim, Adithaim, Gederah, Gederothaim: fourteen cities with their villages.
37 Zenan, Hadashah, Migdal-gad, 38 Dilean, Mizpeh, Joktheel, 39 (AM)Lachish, Bozkath, (AN)Eglon, 40 Cabbon, Lahmam, Chitlish, 41 Gederoth, Beth-dagon, Naamah, and (AO)Makkedah: sixteen cities with their villages.
42 (AP)Libnah, Ether, Ashan, 43 Iphtah, Ashnah, Nezib, 44 (AQ)Keilah, Achzib, and Mareshah: nine cities with their villages.
45 (AR)Ekron, with its towns and its villages; 46 from Ekron to the sea, all that were by the side of Ashdod, with their villages.
47 (AS)Ashdod, its towns and its villages; (AT)Gaza, its towns and its villages; to (AU)the Brook of Egypt, and (AV)the Great Sea with its coastline.
48 And in the hill country, Shamir, Jattir, Socoh, 49 Dannah, Kiriath-sannah ((AW)that is, Debir), 50 Anab, Eshtemoh, Anim, 51 (AX)Goshen, Holon, and (AY)Giloh: eleven cities with their villages.
52 Arab, Dumah, Eshan, 53 Janim, Beth-tappuah, Aphekah, 54 Humtah, (AZ)Kiriath-arba (that is, (BA)Hebron), and Zior: nine cities with their villages.
55 (BB)Maon, (BC)Carmel, (BD)Ziph, Juttah, 56 Jezreel, Jokdeam, Zanoah, 57 Kain, Gibeah, and (BE)Timnah: ten cities with their villages.
58 Halhul, Beth-zur, Gedor, 59 Maarath, Beth-anoth, and Eltekon: six cities with their villages.
60 (BF)Kiriath-baal (that is, Kiriath-jearim), and Rabbah: two cities with their villages.
61 In the wilderness, (BG)Beth-arabah, Middin, Secacah, 62 Nibshan, the City of Salt, and (BH)Engedi: six cities with their villages.
63 But the (BI)Jebusites, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, (BJ)the people of Judah could not drive out, (BK)so the Jebusites dwell with the people of Judah at Jerusalem to this day.
