Judges 1
1 And it came to pass after the death of Joshua, that the sons of Israel asked of Jehovah, saying, Who shall go up for us first against the Canaanites, to fight against them?
Sesudah Yosua meninggal, umat Israel bertanya kepada TUHAN, “Suku mana yang harus maju terlebih dahulu untuk berperang melawan orang Kanaan?”
2 And Jehovah said, Judah shall go up. Behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.
Jawab TUHAN, “Suku Yehuda yang maju lebih dulu. Aku sudah memberikan negeri itu kepada mereka.”
3 And Judah said to Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites, and I likewise will go with thee into thy lot. So Simeon went with him.
Lalu suku Yehuda berkata kepada suku Simeon, saudara mereka, “Bergabunglah bersama kami untuk memerangi orang Kanaan dan merebut wilayah yang ditentukan untuk kami. Sesudah itu kami juga akan membantu kalian merebut wilayah yang ditentukan bagi kalian.” Maka suku Simeon pun ikut bersama suku Yehuda.
4 And Judah went up, and Jehovah delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand, and they smote of them in Bezek ten thousand men.
Mereka maju berperang dan TUHAN membuat mereka menang atas orang Kanaan serta orang Feris. Di kota Bezek mereka membunuh sepuluh ribu orang. Di sana mereka juga menemukan raja Bezek dan menyerang dia.
5 And they found Adoni-bezek in Bezek, and they fought against him, and they smote the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
6 But Adoni-bezek fled, and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.
Saat dia melarikan diri, mereka mengejar dan menangkap dia. Mereka memotong ibu jari dari kedua tangan dan kedua kakinya.
7 And Adoni-bezek said, Seventy kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered scraps under my table. As I have done, so God has requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
Lalu kata raja Bezek itu, “Saya pernah mengalahkan tujuh puluh raja dan memotong ibu jari tangan dan kaki mereka. Lalu seperti anjing mereka terpaksa sisa-sisa makanan yang jatuh dari meja saya. Sekarang Allah membalaskan kepada saya sebagaimana saya memperlakukan raja-raja itu.” Kemudian dia dibawa ke Yerusalem dan mati di sana.
8 And the sons of Judah fought against Jerusalem, and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.
Sesudah itu suku Yehuda menyerang kota Yerusalem dan merebutnya. Mereka membantai penduduknya dan membakar kota itu.
9 And afterward the sons of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites who dwelt in the hill-country, and in the South, and in the lowland.
Mereka juga menyerang orang-orang Kanaan yang tinggal di daerah perbukitan, di padang belantara Negeb di wilayah selatan, dan di dataran rendah.
10 And Judah went against the Canaanites who dwelt in Hebron (now the name of Hebron was formerly Kiriath-arba), and they smote Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.
Kemudian mereka mengalahkan dan menghabisi tiga keluarga besar raksasa Kanaan yang tinggal di kota Kiryat Arba, yaitu orang-orang Sesai, Ahiman, dan Talmai. Di kemudian hari, kota itu diberi nama Hebron.
11 And from there he went against the inhabitants of Debir. (Now the name of Debir was formerly Kiriath-sepher.)
Dari Hebron, mereka pergi menyerang penduduk kota Kiryat Sefer. Di kemudian hari kota itu diberi nama Debir.
12 And Caleb said, He who smites Kiriath-sepher, and takes it, I will give to him Achsah my daughter to wife.
Pada waktu itu Kaleb berkata, “Kepada siapa pun yang menyerang kota Kiryat Sefer dan berhasil merebutnya, aku akan memberikan Aksa, anak perempuanku, menjadi istrinya.”
13 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it, and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.
Lalu Otniel, anak Kenas saudara Kaleb, berhasil merebut kota itu. Maka Kaleb memberikan Aksa kepada Otniel untuk menjadi istrinya.
14 And it came to pass, when she came to him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field. And she alighted from off her donkey, and Caleb said to her, What would thou?
Ketika mereka menikah, Aksa membujuk Otniel untuk meminta ladang dari Kaleb, ayahnya. Tetapi ketika Aksa sedang menunggangi keledai, dia bertemu dengan Kaleb. Aksa turun dari keledainya dan Kaleb bertanya, “Apa yang kamu inginkan?”
15 And she said to him, Give me a blessing, since thou have set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water. And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the nether springs.
Jawab Aksa, “Aku punya permintaan khusus. Ayah sudah memberiku tanah kering di padang belantara Negeb di selatan. Karena itu, mohon berikanlah juga kepadaku mata air.” Maka Kaleb memberikan dua mata air kepadanya, satu di dataran tinggi dan satu di dataran rendah.
16 And the sons of the Kenite, Moses' brother-in-law, went up out of the city of palm trees with the sons of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which is in the south of Arad, and they went and dwelt with the people.
Waktu suku Yehuda meninggalkan kota Yeriko (yang juga disebut kota Pohon Kurma), orang-orang Keni— yaitu keturunan dari mertua Musa— ikut bersama mereka menuju ke padang belantara di bagian selatan wilayah Yehuda. Orang-orang Keni itu menetap di antara suku Yehuda di dekat kota Arad, di Negeb.
17 And Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they smote the Canaanites that inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. And the name of the city was called Hormah.
Kemudian suku Yehuda bergabung dengan suku Simeon untuk menumpas orang-orang Kanaan yang tinggal di kota Zefat. Mereka membinasakan seluruh kota itu sehingga kota itu dinamai Horma, yang artinya ‘musnah’.
18 Also Judah took Gaza with the border of it, and Ashkelon with the border of it, and Ekron with the border of it.
TUHAN menyertai suku Yehuda sehingga mereka berhasil merebut kota Gaza, Askelon, dan Ekron, serta daerah-daerah di sekitarnya. Yehuda juga berhasil menguasai daerah perbukitan, tetapi mereka tidak dapat mengusir penghuni daerah lembah karena penduduk di sana memiliki kereta-kereta perang dari besi.
19 And Jehovah was with Judah, and drove out those of the hill-country. But they could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley because they had chariots of iron.
20 And they gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had spoken, and he drove out the three sons of Anak from there.
Kota Hebron diberikan kepada Kaleb, sesuai janji Musa. Dan Kaleb mengusir tiga keluarga besar raksasa keturunan Anakim dari sana.
21 And the sons of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who inhabited Jerusalem, but the Jebusites dwell with the sons of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.
Akan tetapi, suku Benyamin tidak mengusir orang Yebus yang tinggal di Yerusalem. Karena itu, orang Yebus masih tinggal di sana bersama suku Benyamin sampai kitab ini ditulis.
22 And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Bethel, and Jehovah was with them.
Kedua suku keturunan Yusuf (yaitu Efraim dan Manasye) menyerang kota Betel (yang sejak zaman dahulu disebut Lus). TUHAN menyertai mereka. Sebelum menyerang, mereka mengutus beberapa orang untuk mengintai kota itu.
23 And the house of Joseph sent to spy out Bethel. (Now the name of the city was formerly Luz.)
24 And the spies saw a man come forth out of the city, and they said to him, Show us, we pray thee, the entrance into the city, and we will deal kindly with thee.
Ketika para pengintai melihat seorang laki-laki keluar dari kota itu, mereka berkata kepadanya, “Kalau kamu menunjukkan pintu rahasia untuk masuk ke kota ini, kami akan berbaik hati dan tidak membunuhmu.”
25 And he showed them the entrance into the city. And they smote the city with the edge of the sword, but they let the man go and all his family.
Maka laki-laki itu menunjukkan pintu rahasia kota Betel kepada mereka. Lalu Suku Efraim dan suku Manasye menyerang Betel dan membunuh semua penduduk di sana, kecuali laki-laki itu dan seluruh keluarganya.
26 And the man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a city, and called the name of it Luz, which is the name of it to this day.
Laki-laki itu pergi ke negeri orang Het. Di sana dia membangun sebuah kota dan menamainya Lus. Itulah nama kota itu sampai saat kitab ini ditulis.
27 And Manasseh did not drive out those of Beth-shean and its towns, nor of Taanach and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns, but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
Suku Manasye tidak mengusir orang-orang Kanaan yang tinggal di kota Bet Sean, Taanak, Dor, Yibleam, dan Megido serta desa-desa di sekitar kota-kota itu, karena orang-orang Kanaan itu bersikeras untuk tetap tinggal di sana.
28 And it came to pass, when Israel grew strong, that they put the Canaanites to task work, and did not utterly drive them out.
Ketika bangsa Israel menjadi lebih kuat, mereka memperbudak orang-orang Kanaan itu, tetapi tidak pernah mengusir mereka sepenuhnya.
29 And Ephraim did not drive out the Canaanites who dwelt in Gezer, but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.
Suku Efraim juga tidak mengusir orang-orang Kanaan yang tinggal di kota Gezer. Jadi, orang-orang Kanaan itu tetap tinggal di antara suku Efraim.
30 Zebulun did not drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol, but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became subject to task work.
Suku Zebulon tidak mengusir orang-orang Kanaan yang tinggal di kota Kitron dan Nahalol. Jadi, orang-orang Kanaan itu tetap tinggal di antara suku Zebulon, walaupun sebagai budak mereka.
31 Asher did not drive out the inhabitants of Acco, nor the inhabitants of Sidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob,
Suku Asyer juga tidak mengusir orang-orang Kanaan yang tinggal di kota Ako, Sidon, Ahlab, Aksib, Helba, Afek, dan Rehob.
32 but the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land, for they did not drive them out.
Jadi, mereka hidup di antara orang-orang Kanaan itu.
33 Naphtali did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh, nor the inhabitants of Beth-anath, but he dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land. Nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and of Beth-anath became subject to task work.
Suku Naftali tidak mengusir orang-orang Kanaan yang tinggal di kota Bet Semes dan kota Bet Anat. Jadi, suku Naftali tinggal di antara penduduk asli daerah itu, dan akhirnya memperbudak mereka.
34 And the Amorites forced the sons of Dan into the hill-country, for they would not allow them to come down to the valley,
Suku Dan didesak orang Amori mundur ke daerah perbukitan. Orang Amori tidak membiarkan mereka turun ke daerah dataran rendah.
35 but the Amorites would dwell in mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim. Yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, so that they became subject to task work.
Orang Amori yang tinggal di gunung Heres, kota Ayalon, dan kota Saalbim bersikeras untuk tetap tinggal di sana. Di kemudian hari, suku Efraim dan Manasye bertambah kuat dan memperbudak orang Amori itu.
36 And the border of the Amorites was from the ascent of Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward.
Sedangkan di selatan, wilayah bangsa Amori dahulu dimulai dari Sela di timur, melalui Jalur Pendakian Kalajengking, dan terus mendaki ke barat sampai daerah perbukitan.
