Judges 1
1 And it came to pass after the death of Joshua, that the children of Israel enquired of the Lord, saying, Who shall go up for us first against the Chananites, to fight against them?
Después de la muerte de Josué, los hijos de Israel preguntaron a Yahvé, diciendo: “¿Quién debe subir por nosotros primero contra los cananeos, para luchar contra ellos?”
2 And the Lord said, Judas shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.
Yahvé dijo: “Judá subirá. He aquí que he entregado la tierra en su mano”.
3 And Judas said to his brother Symeon, Come up with me into my lot, and let us array ourselves against the Chananites, and I also will go with you into your lot: and Symeon went with him.
Judá dijo a su hermano Simeón: “Sube conmigo a mi suerte, para que luchemos contra los cananeos; y yo también iré contigo a tu suerte.” Así que Simeón fue con él.
4 And Judas went up; and the Lord delivered the Chananite and the Pherezite into their hands, and they struck them in Bezek to [the number of] ten thousand men.
Judá subió, y el Señor entregó en sus manos a los cananeos y a los ferezeos. Hicieron diez mil hombres en Bezec.
5 And they overtook Adonibezek in Bezek, and fought against him; and they struck the Chananite and the Pherezite.
Encontraron a Adoni-Bezek en Bezec, y lucharon contra él. Golpearon al cananeo y al ferezeo.
6 And Adonibezek fled, and they pursued after him, and took him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.
Pero Adoni-Bezek huyó. Lo persiguieron, lo atraparon y le cortaron los pulgares y los dedos gordos de los pies.
7 And Adonibezek said, Seventy kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered [their food] under my table: as I therefore have done, so God has recompensed me: and they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
Adoni-Bezek dijo: “Setenta reyes, con los pulgares y los dedos gordos de los pies cortados, hurgaron bajo mi mesa. Como yo he hecho, así me ha hecho Dios. “Lo llevaron a Jerusalén, y allí murió.
8 And the children of Judas fought against Jerusalem, and took it, and struck with the edge of the sword, and they burnt the city with fire.
Los hijos de Judá lucharon contra Jerusalén, la tomaron, la golpearon con el filo de la espada y le prendieron fuego a la ciudad.
9 And afterwards the children of Judas went down to fight with the Chananite dwelling in the hill country, and the south, and the plain country.
Después de eso, los hijos de Judá bajaron a luchar contra los cananeos que vivían en la región montañosa, en el sur y en la llanura.
10 And Judas went to the Chananite who lived in Chebron; and Chebron came out against him; [and the name of Chebron before was Cariatharbocsepher: ] and they struck Sessi, and Achiman, and Tholmi, children of Enac.
Judá fue contra los cananeos que vivían en Hebrón. (El nombre de Hebrón antes de eso era Kiriath Arba.) Golpearon a Sheshai, Ahiman y Talmai.
11 And they went up thence to the inhabitants of Dabir; but the name of Dabir was before Cariathsepher, the city of Letters.
Desde allí fue contra los habitantes de Debir. (El nombre de Debir antes de eso era Kiriath Sepher.)
12 And Chaleb said, Whosoever shall strike the city of Letters, and shall first take it, I will give to him Ascha my daughter to wife.
Caleb dijo: “Le daré a Acsa mi hija como esposa al hombre que ataque a Kiriath Sepher y la tome”.
13 And Gothoniel the younger son of Kenez the brother of Chaleb took it; and Chaleb gave him his daughter Ascha to wife.
Othniel, hijo de Kenaz, hermano menor de Caleb, la tomó, y le dio a Acsa su hija como esposa.
14 And it came to pass as she went in, that Gothoniel urged her to ask a field of her father; and she murmured and cried from off her ass, You have sent me forth into a south land: and Chaleb said to her, What is your request?
Cuando llegó, hizo que le pidiera a su padre un campo. Se bajó del asno y Caleb le dijo: “¿Qué quieres?”.
15 And Ascha said to him, Give me, I pray you, a blessing, for you have sent me forth into a south land, and you shall give me the ransom of water: and Chaleb gave her according to her heart the ransom of the upper [springs] and the ransom of the low [springs].
Ella le dijo: “Dame una bendición; ya que me has puesto en la tierra del Sur, dame también manantiales de agua”. Entonces Caleb le dio los manantiales superiores y los inferiores.
16 And the children of Jothor the Kenite the father-in-law of Moses went up from the city of palm-trees with the children of Judas, to the wilderness that is in the south of Juda, which is at the descent of Arad, and they lived with the people.
Los hijos del ceneo, cuñado de Moisés, subieron de la ciudad de las palmeras con los hijos de Judá al desierto de Judá, que está al sur de Arad, y fueron a vivir con el pueblo.
17 And Judas went with Symeon his brother, and struck the Chananite that inhabited Sepheth, and they utterly destroyed them; and they called the name of the city Anathema.
Judá fue con su hermano Simeón, e hirieron a los cananeos que habitaban en Zefat, y la destruyeron por completo. El nombre de la ciudad se llamó Horma.
18 But Judas did not inherit Gaza nor her coasts, nor Ascalon nor her coasts, nor Accaron nor her coasts, [nor] Azotus nor the lands around it.
También Judá tomó Gaza con su frontera, Ascalón con su frontera y Ecrón con su frontera.
19 And the Lord was with Judas, and he inherited the mountain; for they were not able to destroy the inhabitants of the valley, for Rechab prevented them.
El Señor estuvo con Judá y expulsó a los habitantes de la región montañosa, pues no pudo expulsar a los habitantes del valle, porque tenían carros de hierro.
20 And they gave Chebron to Chaleb, as Moses said; and thence he inherited the three cities of the children of Enac.
Le dieron Hebrón a Caleb, como había dicho Moisés, y él expulsó de allí a los tres hijos de Anac.
21 But the children of Benjamin did not take the inheritance of the Jebusite who lived in Jerusalem; and the Jebusite lived with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem until this day.
Los hijos de Benjamín no expulsaron a los jebuseos que habitaban Jerusalén, pero los jebuseos habitan con los hijos de Benjamín en Jerusalén hasta el día de hoy.
22 And the sons of Joseph, they also went up to Baethel; and the Lord was with them.
También la casa de José subió contra Betel, y el Señor estaba con ellos.
23 And they encamped and surveyed Baethel: and the name of the city before was Luza.
La casa de José envió a espiar a Betel. (El nombre de la ciudad anterior era Luz.)
24 And the spies looked, and behold, a man went out of the city, and they took him; and they said to him, Show us the way into the city, and we will deal mercifully with you.
Los vigilantes vieron a un hombre que salía de la ciudad, y le dijeron: “Por favor, muéstranos la entrada a la ciudad, y te trataremos con amabilidad.”
25 And he showed them the way into the city; and they struck the city with the edge of the sword; but they let go the man and his family.
El hombre les mostró la entrada a la ciudad, y ellos golpearon la ciudad con el filo de la espada; pero dejaron ir al hombre y a toda su familia.
26 And the man went into the land of Chettin, and built there a city, and called the name of it Luza; this [is] its name until this day.
El hombre se fue a la tierra de los hititas, construyó una ciudad y la llamó Luz, que es su nombre hasta hoy.
27 And Manasse did not drive out [the inhabitants of] Baethsan, which is a city of Scythians, nor her towns, nor her suburbs; nor Thanac, nor her towns; nor the inhabitants of Dor, nor her suburbs, nor her towns; nor the inhabitant of Balac, nor her suburbs, nor her towns; nor the inhabitants of Magedo, nor her suburbs, nor her towns; nor the inhabitants of Jeblaam, nor her suburbs, nor her towns; and the Chananite began to dwell in this land.
Manasés no expulsó a los habitantes de Bet-Seán y sus ciudades, ni a Taanac y sus ciudades, ni a los habitantes de Dor y sus ciudades, ni a los habitantes de Ibleam y sus ciudades, ni a los habitantes de Meguido y sus ciudades; pero los cananeos habitaban en esa tierra.
28 And it came to pass when Israel was strong, that he made the Chananite tributary, but did not utterly drive them out.
Cuando Israel se hizo fuerte, sometió a los cananeos a trabajos forzados y no los expulsó del todo.
29 And Ephraim did not drive out the Chananite that lived in Gazer; and the Chananite lived in the midst of him in Gazer, and became tributary.

Aser no expulsó a los habitantes de Acco, ni a los de Sidón, ni a los de Ahlab, ni a los de Achzib, ni a los de Helba, ni a los de Afik, ni a los de Rehob;
32 And Aser lived in the midst of the Chananite who inhabited the land, for he could not drive him out.
sino que los aseritas vivieron entre los cananeos, habitantes de la tierra, pues no los expulsaron.
33 And Nephthali did not drive out the inhabitants of Baethsamys, nor the inhabitants of Baethanach; and Nephthali lived in the midst of the Chananite who inhabited the land: but the inhabitants of Bethsamys and of Baetheneth became tributary to them.
Neftalí no expulsó a los habitantes de Bet Semes, ni a los de Bet Anat, sino que vivió entre los cananeos, habitantes de la tierra. Sin embargo, los habitantes de Bet Semes y de Bet Anat fueron sometidos a trabajos forzados.
34 And the Amorite drove out the children of Dan into the mountains, for they did not suffer them to come down into the valley.
Los amorreos obligaron a los hijos de Dan a ir a la región montañosa, pues no les permitieron bajar al valle;
35 And the Amorite began to dwell in the mountain of shells, in which [are] bears, and foxes, in Myrsinon, and in Thalabin; and the hand of the house of Joseph was heavy upon the Amorite, and he became tributary to them.
pero los amorreos habitaban en el monte Heres, en Ajalón y en Shaalbim. Sin embargo, la mano de la casa de José prevaleció, de modo que se sometieron a trabajos forzados.
36 And the border of the Amorite [was] from the going up of Acrabin, from the rock and upwards.
La frontera de los amorreos era desde la subida de Akrabbim, desde la roca y hacia arriba.
