Judges 1
1 After the death of Joshua, the sons of Israel consulted the Lord, saying, “Who will ascend before us, against the Canaanite, and who will be the commander of the war?”
Efter Josuas Død adspurgte Israelitterne HERREN og sagde: "Hvem af os skal først drage op til Kamp mod Kana'anæerne?"
2 And the Lord said: “Judah shall ascend. Behold, I have delivered the land into his hands.”
HERREN svarede: "Det skal Juda; se, jeg giver Landet i hans Hånd!"
3 And Judah said to his brother Simeon, “Go up with me to my lot, and fight against the Canaanite, so that I also may go forth with you to your lot.” And Simeon went with him.
Juda sagde da til sin Broder Simeon: "Drag op med mig i min Lod og lad os sammen kæmpe med Kana'anæerne, så skal jeg også drage med dig ind i din Lod!" Så gik da Simeon med ham.
4 And Judah went up, and the Lord delivered the Canaanite, as well as the Perizzite, into their hands. And they struck down ten thousand of the men at Bezek.
Juda drog nu op, og HERREN gav Kana'anæerne og Perizziterne i deres Hånd, så de slog dem i Bezek, 10000 Mand.
5 And they found Adonibezek at Bezek, and they fought against him, and they struck down the Canaanite and the Perizzite.
Og da de stødte på Adonibezek i Bezek, angreb de ham og slog Kana'anæerne og Perizziterne.
6 Then Adonibezek fled. And they pursued him and captured him, and they cut off the ends of his hands and feet.
Adonibezek flygtede, men de satte efter ham, og da de havde grebet ham, huggede de Tommelfingrene og Tommeltæerne af ham.
7 And Adonibezek said: “Seventy kings, with the ends of their hands and feet amputated, have been gathering the remnants of food under my table. Just as I have done, so has God repaid me.” And they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
Da sagde Adonibezek: "Halvfjerdsindstyve Konger med afhugne Tommelfingre og Tommeltæer havde jeg stadig til at sanke Smuler under mit Bord; hvad jeg har gjort, gengælder Gud mig!" Derpå førte man ham til Jerusalem, og der døde han.
8 Then the sons of Judah, besieging Jerusalem, seized it. And they struck it with edge of the sword, delivering the entire city to be burned.
Og Judæerne angreb og indtog Jerusalem, huggede Indbyggerne ned og stak Ild på Byen.
9 And afterward, descending, they fought against the Canaanites who were living in the mountains, and in the south, and in the plains.
Senere drog Judæerne ned til Kamp mod Kana'anæerne i Bjergene, i Sydlandet og i Lavlandet.
10 And Judah, going forth against the Canaanites who were living at Hebron, (the name of which from antiquity was Kiriath-Arba) struck down Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.
Og Juda drog mod Kana'anæerne i Hebron - Hebron hed fordum Kirjat Arba og slog Sjesjaj, Ahiman og Talmaj.
11 And continuing on from there, he went to the inhabitants of Debir, the old name of which was Kiriath-Sepher, that is, the City of Letters.
Derfra drog han op mod Indbyggerne i Debir, der fordum hed Kirjaf-Sefer.
12 And Caleb said, “Whoever will strike Kiriath-Sepher, and will lay waste to it, I will give to him my daughter Achsah as wife.”
Da sagde Kaleb: "Den, som slår Kirjat Sefer og indtager det, ham giver jeg min Datter Aksa til Hustru!"
13 And when Othniel, the son of Kenaz, a younger brother of Caleb, had seized it, he gave his daughter Achsah to him in marriage.
Og da Kenizziten Otniel, Kalebs yngre Broder, indtog det, gav han ham sin Datter Aksa til Hustru.
14 And as she was traveling on a journey, her husband admonished her, so that she would request a field from her father. And since she had sighed while sitting on her donkey, Caleb said to her, “What is it?”
Men da hun kom til ham, æggede han hende til at bede sin Fader om Agerland. Hun sprang da ned af Æselet, og Kaleb spurgte hende: "Hvad vil du?"
15 But she responded: “Give a blessing to me. For you have given me a dry land. Also give a watered land.” Therefore, Caleb gave to her the upper watered land and the lower watered land.
Hun svarede: "Giv mig en Velsignelse! Siden du har bortgiftet mig i det tørre Sydland, må du give mig Vandkilder!" Da gav Kaleb hende de øvre og de nedre Vandkilder.
16 Now the sons of the Kenite, the relative of Moses, ascended from the City of Palms, with the sons of Judah, into the wilderness of his lot, which is toward the south of Arad. And they lived with him.
Moses's Svigerfaders, Keniten Kobabs, Sønner, drog sammen med Judæerne op fra Palmestaden til Arads Ørken og bosatte sig hos Amalekiterne.
17 Then Judah went out with his brother Simeon, and together they struck the Canaanites who were living at Zephath, and they put them to death. And the name of the city was called Hormah, that is, Anathema.
Juda drog derpå ud med sin Broder Simeon, og de slog Kana'anæerne, som boede i Zefat, og lagde Band på Byen; derfor blev den kaldt Horma.
18 And Judah seized Gaza, with its parts, and Ashkelon as well as Ekron, with their borders.
Og Juda indtog Gaza med dets Område, Askalon med dets Område og Ekron med dets Område.
19 And the Lord was with Judah, and he possessed the mountains. But he was not able to wipe out the inhabitants of the valley. For they abounded with chariots armed with scythes.
Og HERREN var med Juda, så han tog Bjerglandet i Besiddelse; Lavlandets Indbyggere kunde han nemlig ikke drive bort, fordi de havde Jernvogne.
20 And just as Moses had said, they gave Hebron to Caleb, who destroyed out of it the three sons of Anak.
Haleb gav de Hebron, som Moses havde sagt. Og han drev de tre Anaksønner bort derfra.
21 But the sons of Benjamin did not wipe out the Jebusite inhabitants of Jerusalem. And the Jebusite has lived with the sons of Benjamin in Jerusalem, even to the present day.
Men Jebusiterne, som boede i Jerusalem, fik Judæerne ikke drevet bort, og Jebusiterne bor den Dag i Dag i Jerusalem sammen med Judæerne.
22 The house of Joseph also ascended against Bethel, and the Lord was with them.
Men også Josefs Hus drog op og gik mod Betel; og HERREN var med dem.
23 For when they were besieging the city, which was previously called Luz,
Da Josefs Hus udspejdede Betel Byen hed fordum Luz
24 they saw a man departing from the city, and they said to him, “Reveal to us the entrance to the city, and we will act with mercy toward you.”
fik Spejderne Øje på en Mand, der gik ud af Byen; og de sagde til ham: "Vis os, hvor vi kan komme ind i Byen, så vil vi skåne dig!"
25 And when he had revealed it to them, they struck the city with the edge of the sword. But that man, and all his relatives, they released.
Da viste han dem, hvor de kunde komme ind i Byen. Derpå huggede de dens Indbyggere ned, men Manden og hele hans. Slægt lod de drage bort,
26 And having been sent away, he went out to the land of the Hittites, and he built a city there, and he called it Luz. And so it is called, even to the present day.
og Manden begav sig til Hetiternes Land og byggede en By, som han kaldte Luz; og det hedder den endnu den Dag i Dag.
27 Likewise, Manasseh did not destroy Bethshean and Taanach, with their villages, nor the inhabitants of Dor and Ibleam and Megiddo, with their villages. And the Canaanite began to live with them.
Men Indbyggerne i Bet-Sjean og dets Småbyer og i Ta'anak og dets Småbyer, Indbyggerne i Dor og dets Småbyer, i Jibleam og dets Småbyer og i Megiddo og dets Småbyer fik Manasse ikke drevet bort; det lykkedes Kana'anæerne at blive boende i disse Egne.
28 Then, after Israel had grown strong, he made them tributaries, but he was not willing to destroy them.
Da Israelitterne blev de stærkeste, gjorde de Kana'anæerne til Hoveriarbejdere, men drev dem ikke bort.
29 And now Ephraim did not put to death the Canaanite, who was living at Gezer; instead, he lived with him.
Efraim fik ikke Kana'anæerne, som boede i Gezer, drevet bort; men Kana'anæerne blev boende midt iblandt dem i Gezer.
30 Zebulun did not wipe out the inhabitants of Kitron and of Nahalal. Instead, the Canaanite lived in their midst and became their tributary.
Zebulon fik ikke Indbyggerne i Kitron og Nahalol drevet bort; men Kana'anæerne blev boende midt iblandt dem og blev Hoveriarbejdere.
31 Likewise, Asher did not destroy the inhabitants of Acco and Sidon, Ahlab and Achzib, and Helbah, and Aphik, and Rehob.
Aser fik ikke Indbyggerne i Akko drevet bort, ej heller Indbyggerne i Zidon, Mahalab, Akzib, Afik og Rehob.
32 And he lived in the midst of the Canaanites, the inhabitants of that land, for he did not put them to death.
Men Aseriterne bosatte sig midt iblandt Kana'anæerne, der boede i Landet, thi de magtede ikke at drive dem bort.
33 Naphtali also did not wipe out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and Bethanath. And he lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land. And the Beth-shemeshites and Bethanathites were tributaries to him.
Naftali fik ikke Indbyggerne i Bet Sjemesj og Bet-Anat drevet bort, men bosatte sig midt iblandt Kana'anæerne, der boede i Landet: Men Indbyggerne i Bet Sjemesj og Bet Anat blev deres Hoveriarbejdere.
34 And the Amorite hemmed in the sons of Dan on the mountain, and did not give them a place, so that they might descend to the flatlands.
Amoriterne trængte Daniterne op i Bjergene og lod dem ikke komme ned i Lavlandet;
35 And he lived on the mountain at Har-heres, which is translated as ‘resembling brick,’ and at Aijalon and Sha-alabbin. But the hand of the house of Joseph was very heavy, and he became a tributary to him.
og det lykkedes Amoriterne at blive boende i Har-Heres, Ajjalon og Sja'albim. Men senere, da Josefs Hus fik Overtaget, blev de Hoveriarbejdere.
36 Now the border of the Amorite was from the Ascent of the Scorpion, to the Rock and the higher places.
Edomiternes Landemærke strakte sig fra Akrabbimpasset til Sela og højere op.
