< Judges 1 >

1 After the death of Joshua, the children of Israel asked of the LORD, saying, “Who should go up for us first against the Canaanites, to fight against them?”
Efter Josua död frågade Israels barn Herran, och sade: Ho skall ibland oss föra örliget emot de Cananeer?
2 The LORD said, “Judah shall go up. Behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.”
Herren sade: Juda skall föra det; si, jag hafver gifvit landet i hans hand.
3 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 you into your lot.” So Simeon went with him.
Då sade Juda till sin broder Simeon: Drag med mig upp i min lott, och låt oss strida emot de Cananeer, så vill jag åter draga med dig i din lott. Så drog Simeon med honom.
4 Judah went up, and the LORD delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand. They struck ten thousand men in Bezek.
Då nu Juda drog ditupp, gaf Herren honom de Cananeer och Phereseer i deras händer; och de slogo i Besek tiotusend män.
5 They found Adoni-Bezek in Bezek, and they fought against him. They struck the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
Och de funno AdoniBesek i Besek; och stridde emot honom, och slogo de Cananeer och Phereseer.
6 But Adoni-Bezek fled. They pursued him, caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his big toes.
Men AdoniBesek flydde, och de jagade efter honom, fingo honom, och höggo af honom tummarna, både af hans händer och fötter.
7 Adoni-Bezek said, “Seventy kings, having their thumbs and their big toes cut off, scavenged under my table. As I have done, so God has done to me.” They brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
Då sade AdoniBesek: Sjutio Konungar, med afhuggna tummar af deras händer och fötter, hemtade upp under mitt bord; såsom jag nu gjort hafver, så hafver Gud vedergullit mig. Och de förde honom till Jerusalem, der blef han död.
8 The children of Judah fought against Jerusalem, took it, struck it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.
Men Juda barn stridde emot Jerusalem, och vunno det, och slogo det med svärdsegg, och brände staden upp.
9 After that, the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites who lived in the hill country, and in the South, and in the lowland.
Sedan drogo Juda barn neder, till att strida emot de Cananeer, som bodde på bergen, och söderut, och i dalarna.
10 Judah went against the Canaanites who lived in Hebron. (The name of Hebron before that was Kiriath Arba.) They struck Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.
Och Juda drog emot de Cananeer, som bodde i Hebron; men Hebron het i förtiden KiriathArba; och slog Sesai, och Ahiman, och Thalmai;
11 From there he went against the inhabitants of Debir. (The name of Debir before that was Kiriath Sepher.)
Och drog dädan emot Debirs inbyggare; men Debir het i förtiden KiriathSepher.
12 Caleb said, “I will give Achsah my daughter as wife to the man who strikes Kiriath Sepher, and takes it.”
Och Caleb sade: Den som KiriathSepher slår och vinner, honom vill jag gifva mina dotter Achsa till hustru.
13 Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, took it, so he gave him Achsah his daughter as his wife.
Då vann det Athniel, Kenas son, Calebs yngsta broders; och han gaf honom sina dotter Achsa till hustru.
14 When she came, she got him to ask her father for a field. She got off her donkey; and Caleb said to her, “What would you like?”
Och det begaf sig, då hon indrog, vardt henne rådet, att hon skulle bedas en åker af sin fader; och hon gaf sig ifrån åsnanom. Då sade Caleb till henne: Hvad är dig?
15 She said to him, “Give me a blessing; because you have set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water.” Then Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
Hon sade: Gif mig en välsignelse; ty du hafver gifvit mig ett söderland; gif mig ock ett, som vatten hafver. Då gaf han henne ett, som vatten hade ofvan och nedan.
16 The children of the Kenite, Moses’ brother-in-law, went up out of the city of palm trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which is in the south of Arad; and they went and lived with the people.
Och de Keniters barn, Mose svågers, drogo upp utu Palma staden med Juda barn uti Juda öken, som ligger sunnan för den staden Arad; och gingo till, och bodde ibland folket.
17 Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they struck the Canaanites who inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. The name of the city was called Hormah.
Och Juda drog åstad med hans broder Simeon, och slogo de Cananeer i Zephat, och gåfvo honom tillspillo, och kallade staden Horma.
18 Also Judah took Gaza with its border, and Ashkelon with its border, and Ekron with its border.
Dertill vann Juda Gaza med dess tillhöring, och Askelon med dess tillhöring, och Ekron med dess tillhöring.
19 The LORD was with Judah, and drove out the inhabitants of the hill country; for he could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.
Och Herren var med Juda, så att han intog berget; förty han kunde icke intaga dem som i dalarna bodde, derföre, att de hade jernvagnar.
20 They gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had said, and he drove the three sons of Anak out of there.
Och de gåfvo Caleb Hebron, såsom Mose sagt hade; och han fördref derut de tre Enaks söner.
21 The children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who inhabited Jerusalem, but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.
Men BenJamins barn fördrefvo icke de Jebuseer, som bodde i Jerusalem; utan de Jebuseer bodde när BenJamins barn i Jerusalem, allt intill denna dag.
22 The house of Joseph also went up against Bethel, and the LORD was with them.
Sammalunda drogo ock Josephs barn upp till BethEl; och Herren var med dem.
23 The house of Joseph sent to spy out Bethel. (The name of the city before that was Luz.)
Och Josephs hus bespejade BethEl, det tillförene het Lus.
24 The watchers saw a man come out of the city, and they said to him, “Please show us the entrance into the city, and we will deal kindly with you.”
Och hållarena fingo se en man gå utu staden, och sade till honom: Visa oss huru vi skole komma in i staden, så vilje vi göra barmhertighet med dig.
25 He showed them the entrance into the city, and they struck the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man and all his family go.
Och när han hade vist dem hvar de skulle komma in, slogo de staden med svärdsegg; men den mannen och all hans slägt läto de gå.
26 The man went into the land of the Hittites, built a city, and called its name Luz, which is its name to this day.
Då drog den samme mannen in uti de Hetheers land, och byggde en stad, och kallade honom Lus. Den heter ännu i dag så.
27 Manasseh did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shean and its towns, nor 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.
Och Manasse fördref icke BethSean med dess döttrar; icke heller Thaanach med dess döttrar, och icke heller de inbyggare i Dor med dess döttrar, ej heller de inbyggare i Jibleam med dess döttrar, ej heller de inbyggare i Megiddo med dess döttrar; och de Cananeer begynte till att bo i de samma landena.
28 When Israel had grown strong, they put the Canaanites to forced labor, and did not utterly drive them out.
Men då Israel kom till magt, gjorde han de Cananeer skattpligtiga, och fördref dem icke.
29 Ephraim did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, but the Canaanites lived in Gezer among them.
Sammalunda fördref icke heller Ephraim de Cananeer, som bodde i Gaser; utan de Cananeer bodde ibland dem i Gaser.
30 Zebulun did not drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites lived among them, and became subject to forced labor.
Sebulon fördref icke heller dem som bodde i Kitron och Nahalol; utan de Cananeer bodde ibland dem, och voro skattpligtige.
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;
Asser fördref icke dem som bodde i Acco; icke heller dem som bodde i Zidon, i Ahlab, i Achsib, i Helbah, i Aphik och i Rehob;
32 but the Asherites lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land, for they did not drive them out.
Utan de Asseriter bodde ibland de Cananeer, som i landena bodde; ty de fördrefvo dem icke.
33 Naphtali did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh, nor the inhabitants of Beth Anath; but he lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land. Nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh and of Beth Anath became subject to forced labor.
Napthali fördref icke dem som bodde i BethSemes, ej heller i BethAnath; utan bodde ibland de Cananeer, som i landena bodde; men de i BethSemes och i BethAnath vordo skattpligtige.
34 The Amorites forced the children of Dan into the hill country, for they would not allow them to come down to the valley;
Men de Amoreer trängde Dans barn in på bergena, och stadde dem icke till, att de kommo neder i dalarna.
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 forced labor.
Och de Amoreer begynte bo på de bergena Heres i Ajalon och Saalbim; dock vardt Josephs hus hand dem för svår, så att de vordo skattpligtige.
36 The border of the Amorites was from the ascent of Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward.
Och de Amoreers gränsa var der man uppgår till Akrabbim, och ifrå klippone, och ifrå höjdene.
