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?
Post mortem Iosue consuluerunt filii Israel Dominum, dicentes: Quis ascendet ante nos contra Chananæum, et erit dux belli?
2 And Jehovah said, Judah shall go up. Behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.
Dixitque Dominus: Iudas ascendet: ecce tradidi Terram in manus eius.
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.
Et ait Iudas Simeoni fratri suo: Ascende mecum in sortem meam, et pugna contra Chananæum, ut et ego pergam tecum in sortem tuam. Et abiit cum eo Simeon.
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.
Ascenditque Iudas, et tradidit Dominus Chananæum, ac Pherezæum in manus eorum: et percusserunt in Bezec decem millia virorum.
5 And they found Adoni-bezek in Bezek, and they fought against him, and they smote the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
Inveneruntque Adonibezec in Bezec, et pugnaverunt contra eum, ac percusserunt Chananæum, et Pherezæum.
6 But Adoni-bezek fled, and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.
Fugit autem Adonibezec: quem persecuti comprehenderunt, cæsis summitatibus manuum eius ac pedum.
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.
Dixitque Adonibezec: Septuaginta reges amputatis manuum ac pedum summitatibus colligebant sub mensa mea ciborum reliquias: sicut feci, ita reddidit mihi Deus. Adduxeruntque eum in Ierusalem, et ibi mortuus est.
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.
Oppugnantes ergo filii Iuda Ierusalem, ceperunt eam, et percusserunt in ore gladii, tradentes cunctam incendio civitatem.
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.
Et postea descendentes pugnaverunt contra Chananæum, qui habitabat in montanis, et ad meridiem, et in campestribus.
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.
Pergensque Iudas contra Chananæum, qui habitabat in Hebron, (cuius nomen fuit antiquitus Cariatharbe) percussit Sesai, et Ahiman, et Tholmai:
11 And from there he went against the inhabitants of Debir. (Now the name of Debir was formerly Kiriath-sepher.)
atque inde profectus abiit ad habitatores Dabir, cuius nomen vetus erat Cariath Sepher, id est, civitas litterarum.
12 And Caleb said, He who smites Kiriath-sepher, and takes it, I will give to him Achsah my daughter to wife.
Dixitque Caleb: Qui percusserit Cariath Sepher, et vastaverit eam, dabo ei Axam filiam meam uxorem.
13 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it, and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.
Cumque cepisset eam Othoniel filius Cenez frater Caleb minor, dedit ei Axam filiam suam coniugem.
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?
Quam pergentem in itinere monuit vir suus ut peteret a patre suo agrum. Quæ cum suspirasset sedens in asino, dixit ei Caleb: Quid habes?
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.
At illa respondit: Da mihi benedictionem, quia terram arentem dedisti mihi: da et irriguam aquis. Dedit ergo ei Caleb irriguum superius, et irriguum inferius.
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.
Filii autem Cinæi cognati Moysi ascenderunt de Civitate Palmarum, cum filiis Iuda in desertum sortis eius, quod est ad meridiem Arad, et habitaverunt cum eo.
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.
Abiit autem Iudas cum Simeone fratre suo, et percusserunt simul Chananæum qui habitabat in Sephaath, et interfecerunt eum. Vocatumque est nomen urbis, Horma, id est, anathema.
18 Also Judah took Gaza with the border of it, and Ashkelon with the border of it, and Ekron with the border of it.
Cepitque Iudas Gazam cum finibus suis, et Ascalonem, atque Accaron cum terminis suis.
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.
Fuitque Dominus cum Iuda, et montana possedit: nec potuit delere habitatores vallis, quia falcatis curribus abundabant.
20 And they gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had spoken, and he drove out the three sons of Anak from there.
Dederuntque Caleb Hebron, sicut dixerat Moyses, qui delevit ex ea tres filios Enac.
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.
Iebusæum autem habitatorem Ierusalem non deleverunt filii Beniamin: habitavitque Iebusæus cum filiis Beniamin in Ierusalem, usque in præsentem diem.
22 And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Bethel, and Jehovah was with them.
Domus quoque Ioseph ascendit in Bethel, fuitque Dominus cum eis.
23 And the house of Joseph sent to spy out Bethel. (Now the name of the city was formerly Luz.)
Nam cum obsiderent urbem, quæ prius Luza vocabatur,
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.
viderunt hominem egredientem de civitate, dixeruntque ad eum: Ostende nobis introitum civitatis, et faciemus tecum misericordiam.
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.
Qui cum ostendisset eis, percusserunt urbem in ore gladii: hominem autem illum, et omnem cognationem eius dimiserunt.
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.
Qui dimissus, abiit in Terram Hetthim, et ædificavit ibi civitatem, vocavitque eam Luzam: quæ ita appellatur usque in præsentem diem.
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.
Manasses quoque non delevit Bethsan, et Thanac cum viculis suis, et habitatores Dor, et Ieblaam, et Mageddo cum viculis suis, cœpitque Chananæus habitare cum eis.
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.
Postquam autem confortatus est Israel, fecit eos tributarios, et delere noluit.
29 And Ephraim did not drive out the Canaanites who dwelt in Gezer, but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.
Ephraim etiam non interfecit Chananæum, qui habitabat in Gazer, sed habitavit cum eo.
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.
Zabulon non delevit habitatores Cetron, et Naalol: sed habitavit Chananæus in medio eius, factusque est ei tributarius.
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,
Aser quoque non delevit habitatores Accho, et Sidonis, Ahalab, et Achazib, et Helba, et Aphec, et Rohob:
32 but the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land, for they did not drive them out.
habitavitque in medio Chananæi habitatoris illius terræ, nec interfecit eum.
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.
Nephthali quoque non delevit habitatores Bethsames, et Bethanath: et habitavit inter Chananæum habitatorem Terræ, fueruntque ei Bethsamitæ et Bethanitæ tributarii.
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,
Arctavitque Amorrhæus filios Dan in monte, nec dedit eis locum ut ad planiora descenderent:
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.
habitavitque in monte Hares, quod interpretatur testaceo, in Aialon et Salebim. Et aggravata est manus domus Ioseph, factusque est ei tributarius.
36 And the border of the Amorites was from the ascent of Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward.
Fuit autem terminus Amorrhæi ab Ascensu Scorpionis, Petra, et superiora loca.
