Judges 1

1 Now after the death of Joshua, the children of Israel made request to the Lord, saying, Who is to go up first to make war for us against the Canaanites?

Sesudah Yosua meninggal, umat Israel bertanya kepada TUHAN, "TUHAN, suku yang mana dari kami harus pertama-tama pergi menyerang orang Kanaan?"

2 And the Lord said, Judah is to go up: see, I have given the land into his hands.

TUHAN menjawab, "Suku Yehuda. Mereka sudah Kuberikan kekuasaan untuk merebut negeri itu."

3 Then Judah said to Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my heritage, so that we may make war against the Canaanites; and I will then go with you into your heritage. So Simeon went with him.

Lalu kata suku Yehuda kepada suku Simeon, "Bantulah kami memerangi orang Kanaan dan merebut wilayah yang ditentukan TUHAN untuk kami. Nanti kami pun akan membantu kalian merebut wilayah yang ditentukan TUHAN untuk kalian." Maka suku Simeon

4 And Judah went up; and the Lord gave the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hands; and they overcame ten thousand of them in Bezek.

dan Yehuda pergi bertempur bersama-sama. Dan TUHAN memberikan kepada mereka kemenangan atas orang Kanaan dan orang Feris. Sepuluh ribu orang tentara musuh tewas di Bezek.

5 And they came across Adoni-zedek, and made war on him; and they overcame the Canaanites and the Perizzites.

Mereka menemukan Adoni-Bezek, raja negeri itu, dan menyerang dia.

6 But Adoni-zedek went in flight; and they went after him and overtook him, and had his thumbs and his great toes cut off.

Ia lari, tetapi mereka mengejar dan menangkap dia lalu memotong ibu jari tangan dan kakinya.

7 And Adoni-zedek said, Seventy kings, whose thumbs and great toes had been cut off, got broken meat under my table: as I have done, so has God done to me in full. And they took him to Jerusalem, and he came to his end there.

Kata Adoni-Bezek, "Dahulu tujuh puluh raja sudah kupotong ibu jari tangan dan kakinya, lalu kubiarkan mereka makan sisa-sisa makanan yang jatuh dari mejaku. Sekarang Allah memperlakukan aku sama seperti aku memperlakukan mereka." Adoni-Bezek kemudian diangkut ke Yerusalem, dan di sanalah ia meninggal.

8 Then the children of Judah made an attack on Jerusalem, and took it, burning down the town after they had put its people to the sword without mercy.

Orang Yehuda menyerang Yerusalem, lalu merebut dan membakar kota itu serta membunuh penduduknya.

9 After that the children of Judah went down to make war on the Canaanites living in the hill-country and in the south and in the lowlands.

Setelah itu mereka pergi lagi menyerang orang Kanaan yang tinggal di daerah pegunungan, dan di lereng-lereng bukit; juga yang tinggal di daerah kering di sebelah selatan,

10 And Caleb went against the Canaanites of Hebron: (now in earlier times Hebron was named Kiriath-arba: ) and he put Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai to the sword.

dan di kota Hebron, yaitu kota yang dahulu dinamakan Kiryat-Arba. Di situ orang Yehuda mengalahkan kaum Sesai, Ahiman dan Talmai.

11 And from there he went up against the people of Debir. (Now the name of Debir in earlier times was Kiriath-sepher.)

Dari Hebron, orang Yehuda pergi menyerbu kota Debir, yang pada waktu itu bernama Kiryat-Sefer.

12 And Caleb said, I will give Achsah, my daughter, as wife to the man who overcomes Kiriath-sepher and takes it.

Salah seorang dari suku Yehuda itu, yang bernama Kaleb, berkata, "Barangsiapa dapat merebut Kiryat-Sefer, ia boleh kawin dengan anak perempuan saya Akhsa."

13 And Othniel, the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it; so he gave him his daughter Achsah for his wife.

Otniel, anak dari adik Kaleb yang bernama Kenas, merebut kota itu. Maka Kaleb memberikan Akhsa, anaknya, menjadi istri Otniel.

14 Now when she came to him, he put into her mind the idea of requesting a field from her father: and she got down from her ass; and Caleb said to her, What is it?

Pada hari perkawinan mereka, Otniel mendesak Akhsa supaya meminta sebidang tanah dari ayahnya. Maka turunlah Akhsa dari keledainya, lalu Kaleb menanyakan kepadanya apa yang diinginkannya.

15 And she said to him, Give me a blessing; because you have put me in a dry south-land, now give me springs of water. So Caleb gave her the higher spring and the lower spring.

Akhsa menjawab, "Saya ingin beberapa sumber air, sebab tanah yang ayah berikan kepada saya itu berada di daerah yang kering." Maka Kaleb memberikan kepadanya sumber air di bagian hulu dan sumber air di bagian hilir.

16 Now Hobab the Kenite, Moses' father-in-law, had come up out of the town of palm-trees, with the children of Judah, into the waste land of Arad; and he went and was living among the Amalekites;

Keturunan ayah mertua Musa, yaitu orang-orang Keni, mengikuti orang Yehuda keluar dari Yerikho, kota kurma, dan pergi ke daerah yang gersang di sebelah selatan Arad di Yehuda. Di sana mereka menetap di tengah-tengah bangsa Amalek.

17 And Judah went with Simeon, his brother, and overcame the Canaanites living in Zephath, and put it under the curse; and he gave the town the name of Hormah.

Kemudian bersama-sama dengan suku Simeon, suku Yehuda itu pergi menyerang dan mengalahkan orang Kanaan yang tinggal di kota Zefat. Mereka mengutuki kota itu, kemudian memusnahkannya lalu menamakannya Horma.

18 Then Judah took Gaza and its limit, and Ashkelon and its limit, and Ekron and its limit.

TUHAN menolong orang Yehuda sehingga mereka dapat merebut daerah pegunungan. Tetapi mereka tidak dapat merebut Gaza, Askelon ataupun Ekron dengan daerah-daerah di sekitarnya, karena bangsa-bangsa yang tinggal di sepanjang pesisir mempunyai kereta-kereta perang dari besi; karena itu orang Yehuda tidak dapat mengusir mereka.

19 And the Lord was with Judah; and he took the hill-country for his heritage; but he was unable to make the people of the valley go out, for they had war-carriages of iron.

20 And they gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had said; and he took the land of the three sons of Anak, driving them out from there.

Seperti yang telah diperintahkan oleh Musa, Hebron diberikan kepada Kaleb, sebab dahulu tiga golongan kaum keturunan Enak sudah diusir Kaleb dari kota itu.

21 And the children of Judah did not make the Jebusites who were living in Jerusalem go out; the Jebusites are still living with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem.

Suku Benyamin tidak dapat mengusir orang Yebus keluar dari kota Yerusalem. Itu sebabnya orang Yebus masih tinggal di sana bersama-sama dengan orang Benyamin.

22 And the family of Joseph went up against Beth-el, and the Lord was with them.

Suku Efraim dan Manasye keturunan Yusuf, pergi menyerang kota Betel, yang ketika itu bernama Lus. Dan TUHAN menolong mereka. Pada waktu mata-mata diutus menuju ke kota itu,

23 So they sent men to make a search round Beth-el. (Now the name of the town in earlier times was Luz.)

24 And the watchers saw a man coming out of the town, and said to him, If you will make clear to us the way into the town, we will be kind to you.

mereka bertemu dengan seorang laki-laki yang datang dari kota. Kata mereka kepadanya, "Kalau engkau mau menolong kami supaya kami dapat masuk ke dalam kota ini, kami akan memperlakukanmu dengan baik."

25 So he made clear to them the way into the town, and they put it to the sword; but they let the man and all his family get away safe.

Maka orang itu menunjukkan kepada mereka jalan masuk ke kota itu. Lalu orang-orang Efraim dan Manasye memasuki kota itu serta membunuh seluruh penduduknya, kecuali orang itu dengan sanak-keluarganya.

26 And he went into the land of the Hittites, building a town there and naming it Luz: which is its name to this day.

Ia kemudian pindah ke negeri orang Het, lalu membangun sebuah kota di situ dan menamakannya Lus. Kota itu masih tetap bernama demikian.

27 And Manasseh did not take away the land of the people of Beth-shean and its daughter-towns, or of Taanach and its daughter-towns, or of the people of Dor and its daughter-towns, or of the people of Ibleam and its daughter-towns, or of the people of Megiddo and its daughter-towns, driving them out; but the Canaanites would go on living in that land.

Suku Manasye tidak mengusir penduduk kota Bet-Sean, Taanakh, Dor, Yibleam dan Megido dengan kampung-kampung di dekatnya. Jadi orang Kanaan tetap tinggal di situ.

28 And whenever Israel became strong, they put the Canaanites to forced work, without driving them out completely.

Memang setelah orang Israel bertambah kuat, mereka memaksa orang Kanaan bekerja untuk mereka, tetapi mereka juga tidak mengusir orang-orang Kanaan itu sama sekali dari situ.

29 And Ephraim did not make the Canaanites who were living in Gezer go out; but the Canaanites went on living in Gezer among them.

Di kota Gezer, suku Efraim tidak mengusir orang Kanaan, penduduk kota itu. Jadi, orang Kanaan masih tetap tinggal disitu bersama-sama dengan mereka.

30 Zebulun did not make the people of Kitron or the people of Nahalol go out; but the Canaanites went on living among them and were put to forced work.

Penduduk kota Kitron dan Nahalol tidak pula diusir oleh suku Zebulon. Itu sebabnya bangsa Kanaan masih tetap tinggal di situ bersama-sama dengan mereka, tetapi orang-orang Kanaan itu dipaksa bekerja untuk mereka.

31 And Asher did not take the land of the people of Acco, or Zidon, or Ahlab, or Achzib, or Helbah, or Aphik, or Rehob, driving them out;

Penduduk kota Ako, Sidon, Ahlab, Akhzib, Helba, Afek, dan Rehob juga tidak diusir oleh suku Asyer.

32 But the Asherites went on living among the Canaanites, the people of the land, without driving them out.

Itu sebabnya orang Kanaan, penduduk asli negeri itu masih tinggal di situ bersama-sama dengan orang Asyer.

33 Naphtali did not take the land of the people of Beth-shemesh or of Beth-anath, driving them out; but he was living among the Canaanites in the land; however, the people of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath were put to forced work.

Penduduk kota Bet-Semes dan Bet-Anat pun tidak diusir oleh suku Naftali. Itu sebabnya orang Kanaan, penduduk asli negeri itu masih tinggal di situ bersama-sama dengan orang Naftali. Tetapi, mereka dipaksa bekerja untuk orang Naftali.

34 And the children of Dan were forced into the hill-country by the Amorites, who would not let them come down into the valley;

Bangsa Amori masih tetap tinggal di Ayalon, Saalbim dan Gunung Heres, sebab suku Dan didesak oleh mereka ke daerah pegunungan, dan tidak dibiarkan turun ke daerah dataran rendah. Tetapi bangsa Amori itu selalu ditekan oleh suku Efraim dan Manasye serta dipaksa bekerja untuk kedua suku itu.

35 For the Amorites would go on living in Mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim; but the children of Joseph became stronger than they, and put them to forced work.

36 And the limit of the Edomites went from the slope of Akrabbim from Sela and up.

Di sebelah utara Sela, batas daerah orang-orang Amori melewati Pendakian Akrabim.
