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 Josvas død spurte Israels barn Herren: Hvem av oss skal først dra op mot kana'anittene og stride mot dem?
2 And the Lord said: “Judah shall ascend. Behold, I have delivered the land into his hands.”
Og Herren sa: Juda skal dra op; jeg har gitt 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.
Da sa Juda til sin bror Simeon: Dra op med mig til min lodd og la oss stride mot kana'anittene! Så skal jeg og dra med dig til din lodd. Og Simeon drog 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.
Så drog Juda op, og Herren gav kana'anittene og ferisittene i deres hånd; de slo dem i Besek, ti tusen mann.
5 And they found Adonibezek at Bezek, and they fought against him, and they struck down the Canaanite and the Perizzite.
I Besek traff de på Adoni-Besek og stred mot ham; de slo kana'anittene og ferisittene,
6 Then Adonibezek fled. And they pursued him and captured him, and they cut off the ends of his hands and feet.
men Adoni-Besek flyktet, og de forfulgte ham og grep ham og avhugg hans tommelfingrer og tommeltær.
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 sa Adoni-Besek: Sytti konger med avhugne tommelfingrer og tommeltær sanket smuler under mitt bord; som jeg gjorde, har Gud gjort mot mig igjen. Og de førte 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 Judas barn stred mot Jerusalem og inntok det og slo det med sverdets egg, og de satte 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.
Siden drog Judas barn ned for å krige mot de kana'anitter som bodde i fjellbygdene og 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 imot de kana'anitter som bodde i Hebron - Hebrons navn var før Kirjat-Arba - og de slo Sesai og Akiman og Talmai.
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 mot innbyggerne i Debir - Debirs navn var før Kirjat-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.”
Og Kaleb sa: Den som vinner over Kirjat-Sefer og inntar det, ham vil jeg gi 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 kenisitten Otniel, Kalebs yngre bror, inntok det; og han gav 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?”
Og da hun kom (til sin manns hus), egget hun ham til å be hennes far om en jordeiendom, og hun sprang ned av asenet. Da sa Kaleb til henne: 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 svarte: Gi mig en avskjedsgave! Du har giftet mig bort til dette tørre sydlandet, gi mig nu vannkilder! Så gav Kaleb henne de øvre og de nedre kilder.
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.
Efterkommerne av kenitten, Moses' svoger, drog med Judas barn fra Palmestaden op til Juda ørken, som ligger sønnenfor Arad; og de kom og bosatte sig blandt folket der.
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.
Siden drog Juda ut med sin bror Simeon, og de slo de kana'anitter som bodde i Sefat; de slo byen med bann; derfor kalte de den Horma.
18 And Judah seized Gaza, with its parts, and Ashkelon as well as Ekron, with their borders.
Og Juda inntok Gasa med tilhørende bygder og Askalon med tilhørende bygder og Ekron med tilhørende bygder.
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 tok fjellbygdene i eie; men han var ikke i stand til å drive bort innbyggerne i dalen, for de hadde jernvogner.
20 And just as Moses had said, they gave Hebron to Caleb, who destroyed out of it the three sons of Anak.
Og de gav Hebron til Kaleb, således som Moses hadde sagt, og han drev de tre Anaks sønner 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 jebusittene, som bodde i Jerusalem, fikk Benjamins barn ikke drevet bort, og jebusittene blev boende sammen med Benjamins barn i Jerusalem og har bodd der til denne dag.
22 The house of Joseph also ascended against Bethel, and the Lord was with them.
Josefs barn drog også ut; de gikk imot Betel, og Herren var med dem.
23 For when they were besieging the city, which was previously called Luz,
Og Josefs barn sendte speidere til Betel - byen hette før 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.”
og speiderne fikk se en mann som gikk ut av byen, og de sa til ham: Vis oss hvor vi kan komme inn i byen! Så vil vi vise barmhjertighet mot 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.
Og han viste dem hvor de kunde komme inn i byen, og de slo byen med sverdets egg; men mannen og hele hans slekt lot de gå.
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 mannen drog til hetittenes land, og han bygget en by og kalte den Luz; det navn har den hatt til denne 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 Manasse drev ikke bort innbyggerne i Bet-Sean med tilhørende småbyer eller i Ta'anak med tilhørende småbyer eller innbyggerne i Dor med tilhørende småbyer eller innbyggerne i Jibleam med tilhørende småbyer eller innbyggerne i Megiddo med tilhørende småbyer; og det lyktes kana'anittene å bli boende der i landet.
28 Then, after Israel had grown strong, he made them tributaries, but he was not willing to destroy them.
Men da Israel blev sterkt, gjorde de kana'anittene arbeidspliktige, men de 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.
Og Efra'im drev ikke bort de kana'anitter som bodde i Geser, men kana'anittene blev boende midt iblandt dem i Geser.
30 Zebulun did not wipe out the inhabitants of Kitron and of Nahalal. Instead, the Canaanite lived in their midst and became their tributary.
Sebulon drev ikke bort innbyggerne i Kitron og innbyggerne i Nahalol, men kana'anittene blev boende midt iblandt dem og blev arbeidspliktige.
31 Likewise, Asher did not destroy the inhabitants of Acco and Sidon, Ahlab and Achzib, and Helbah, and Aphik, and Rehob.
Aser drev ikke bort innbyggerne i Akko og innbyggerne i Sidon og Ahlab og Aksib og Helba og 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 aserittene bosatte sig midt iblandt kana'anittene som bodde i landet; de drev dem ikke 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 drev ikke bort innbyggerne i Bet-Semes og innbyggerne i Bet-Anat, men bosatte sig midt iblandt kana'anittene som bodde i landet, og innbyggerne i Bet-Semes og Bet-Anat blev arbeidspliktige under dem.
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.
Og amorittene trengte Dans barn op i fjellene; de lot dem ikke få komme ned i dalen.
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.
Det lyktes amorittene å bli boende i Har-Heres, i Ajalon og i Sa'albim; men Josefs barns hånd lå tungt på dem, og de blev arbeidspliktige.
36 Now the border of the Amorite was from the Ascent of the Scorpion, to the Rock and the higher places.
Amorittenes grense gikk fra Akrabbim-skaret, fra Hassela og opefter.
