Judges 1
1 After the death of Josue the children of Israel consulted the Lord, saying: Who shall go up before us against the Chanaanite, and shall be the leader of the war?
Og det skete efter Josvas Død, da adspurgte Israels Børn Herren og sagde: Hvo skal først drage op af os imod Kananiterne, til at stride imod dem?
2 And the Lord said: Juda shall go up: behold I have delivered the land into his hands.
Og Herren sagde: Juda skal drage op; se, jeg har givet Landet i hans Haand.
3 And Juda said to Simeon his brother: Come up with me into my lot, and fight against the Chanaanite, that I also may go along with thee into thy lot. And Simeon went with him.
Da sagde Juda til Simeon sin Broder: Drag op med mig til min Lod, saa ville vi stride imod Kananiterne, saa vil jeg ogsaa gaa med dig til din Lod; saa gik Simeon med ham.
4 And Juda went up, and the Lord delivered the Chanaanite, and the Pherezite into their hands: and they slew of them in Bezec ten thousand men.
Og Juda drog op, og Herren gav Kananiterne og Feresiterne i deres Haand, og de sloge dem i Besek, ti Tusinde Mand.
5 And they found Adonibezec in Bezec, and fought against him, and they defeated the Chanaanite, and the Pherezite.
Og de fandt Adoni-Besek i Besek og strede imod ham, og de sloge Kananiterne og Feresiterne.
6 And Adonibezec fled: and they pursued after him and took him, and cut off his fingers and toes.
Men Adoni-Besek flyede, og de forfulgte ham; og de grebe ham og afhuggede hans Tommelfingre og hans Tommeltæer.
7 And Adonibezec said: Seventy kings having their fingers and toes cut off, gathered up the leavings of the meat under my table: as I have done, so hath God requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
Da sagde Adoni-Besek: Halvfjerdsindstyve Konger, hvis Tommelfingre og Tommeltæer vare afhugne, sankede op under mit Bord; som jeg har gjort, saa har Gud betalt mig; og de førte ham til Jerusalem, og der døde han.
8 And the children of Juda besieging Jerusalem, took it, and put it to the sword, and set the whole city on fire.
Og Judas Børn strede imod Jerusalem og indtoge den og sloge den med skarpe Sværd og satte Ild paa Staden.
9 And afterwards they went down and fought against the Chanaanite, who dwelt in the mountains, and in the south, and in the plains.
Derefter droge Judas Børn ned for at stride imod Kananiterne, som boede paa Bjerget og imod Sønden og i Lavlandet.
10 And Juda going forward against the Chanaanite, that dwelt in Hebron (the name whereof was in former times Cariath-Arbe) slew Sesai, and Ahiman, and Tholmai:
Og Juda drog hen imod Kananiterne, som boede i Hebron, og Hebrons Navn var fordum Kirjath-Arba, og de sloge Sesai, Ahiman og Talmai.
11 And departing from thence he went to the inhabitants of Dabir, the ancient name of which was Cariath-Sepher, that is, the city of letters.
Og han drog derfra mod Debirs Indbyggere; og Debirs Navn var fordum Kirjath-Sefer.
12 And Caleb said: He that shall take Cariath-Sepher, and lay it waste, to him will I give my daughter Axa to wife.
Og Kaleb sagde: Hvo der slaar Kirjath-Sefer og indtager den, ham vil jeg give Aksa, min Datter, til Hustru.
13 And Othoniel the son of Cenez, the younger brother of Caleb, having taken it, he gave him Axa his daughter to wife.
Da indtog Othniel, en Søn af Kenas, Kalebs yngre Broder, den; og han gav ham Aksa, sin Datter, til Hustru.
14 And as she was going on her way her husband admonished her to ask a field of her father. And as she sighed sitting on her ass, Caleb said to her: What aileth thee?
Og det skete, der hun kom, da tilskyndte hun ham til at begære af hendes Fader en Ager, og hun sprang ned af Asenet; da sagde Kaleb til hende: Hvad fattes dig?
15 But she answered: Give me a blessing, for thou hast given me a dry land: give me also a watery land. So Caleb gave her the upper and the nether watery ground.
Og hun sagde til ham: Giv mig en Velsignelse, thi du har givet mig et Land mod Sønden, giv mig og Vandkilder; da gav Kaleb hende de øvre Vandkilder og de nedre Vandkilder.
16 And the children of the Cinite, the kinsman of Moses, went up from the city of palms, with the children of Juda into the wilderness of his lot, which is at the south side of Arad, and they dwelt with him.
Og Keniterens, Mose Svigerfaders, Børn droge op fra Palmestaden med Judas Børn til Judas Ørk, som er Sønden for Arad, og gik hen og boede der hos Folket.
17 And Juda went with Simeon his brother, and they together defeated the Chanaanites that dwelt in Sephaath, and slew them. And the name of the city was called Horma, that is, Anathema.
Og Juda drog ud med sin Broder Simeon, og de sloge Kananiten, som boede i Zefat; og de bandlyste den, og man kaldte Stadens Navn Horma.
18 And Juda took Gaza with its confines, and Ascalon and Accaron with their confines.
Og Juda indtog Gaza og dens Landemærke og Askion og dens Landemærke og Ekron og dens Landemærke.
19 And the Lord was with Juda, and he possessed the hill country: but was not able to destroy the inhabitants of the valley, because they had many chariots armed with scythes.
Og Herren var med Juda, saa han fordrev dem, som boede paa Bjerget; men han mægtede ikke at fordrive Indbyggerne i Dalen, fordi de havde Jernvogne.
20 And they gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had said, who destroyed out of it the three sons of Enac.
Og de gave Kaleb Hebron, som Mose havde sagt, og han fordrev derfra de tre Anaks Sønner.
21 But the sons of Benjamin did not destroy the Jebusites that inhabited Jerusalem: and the Jebusite hath dwelt with the sons of Benjamin in Jerusalem until this present day.
Og Benjamins Børn fordreve ikke Jebusiten, som boede i Jerusalem; men Jebusiten boede hos Benjamins Børn i Jerusalem indtil denne Dag.
22 The house of Joseph also went up against Bethel, and the Lord was with them.
Og Josefs Hus drog ogsaa op imod Bethel, og Herren var med dem.
23 For when they were besieging the city, which before was called Luza,
Og Josefs Hus bespejdede Bethel; men Stadens Navn var fordum Lus.
24 They saw a man coming out of the city, and they said to him: Shew us the entrance into the city, and we will shew thee mercy.
Og de, som holdt Vagt, saa en Mand, som gik ud af Staden; og de sagde til ham: Vis os, kære, hvor vi kunne komme ind i Staden, da ville vi bevise dig Miskundhed.
25 And when he had shewn them, they smote the city with the edge of the sword: but that man and all his kindred they let go:
Og der han havde vist dem, hvor de kunde komme ind i Staden, da sloge de Staden med skarpe Sværd; men Manden og al hans Slægt lode de gaa.
26 Who being sent away, went into the land of Hethim, and built there a city, and called it Luza: which is so called until this day.
Da gik Manden til Hethiternes Land, og han byggede en Stad og kaldte dens Navn Lus, det er dens Navn indtil denne Dag.
27 Manasses also did not destroy Bethsan, and Thanac with their villages, nor the inhabitants of Dor, and Jeblaam, and Mageddo with their villages. And the Chanaanite began to dwell with them.
Og Manasse fordrev ikke Indbyggerne i Beth-Sean med dens tilhørende Stæder eller i Thaanak med dens tilhørende Stæder eller Indbyggerne i Dor med dens tilhørende Stæder eller Indbyggerne i Jibleam med dens tilhørende Stæder eller Indbyggerne i Megiddo med dens tilhørende Stæder; og Kananiten boede roligt i det samme Land.
28 But after Israel was grown strong he made them tributaries, and would not destroy them.
Og det skete, der Israel blev stærk, da gjorde han Kananiten skatskyldig; men han fordrev ham ikke aldeles.
29 Ephraim also did not slay the Chanaanite that dwelt in Gazer, but dwelt with him.
Og Efraim fordrev ikke Kananiten, som boede i Geser; men Kananiten boede midt iblandt dem i Geser.
30 Zabulon destroyed not the inhabitants of Cetron, and Naalol: but the Chanaanite dwelt among them, and became their tributaries.
Sebulon fordrev ikke Indbyggerne i Kitron eller Indbyggerne i Nahalol; men Kananiten boede midt iblandt dem og blev skatskyldig.
31 Aser also destroyed not the inhabitants of Accho, and of Sidon, of Ahalab, and of Achazib, and of Helba, and of Aphec, and of Rohob:
Aser fordrev ikke Indbyggerne i Akko eller Indbyggerne i Zidon og Alab og Aksib og Helba og Afik og Rehob.
32 And he dwelt in the midst of the Chanaanites the inhabitants of that land, and did not slay them.
Og Aseriterne boede iblandt Kananiterne, Landets Indbyggere; thi de fordreve dem ikke.
33 Nephtali also destroyed not the inhabitants of Bethsames, and of Bethanath: and he dwelt in the midst of the Chanaanites the inhabitants of the land, and the Bethsamites and Bethanites were tributaries to him.
Nafthali fordrev ikke Indbyggerne i Beth-Semes eller Indbyggerne i Beth-Anath, men boede midt iblandt Kananiterne, som boede i Landet; men Indbyggerne i Beth-Semes og Beth-Anath bleve dem skatskyldige.
34 And the Amorrhite straitened the children of Dan in the mountain, and gave them not place to go down to the plain:
Og Amoriterne trængte Dans Børn hen til Bjerget; thi de tilstedte dem ikke at komme ned i Dalen.
35 And he dwelt in the mountain Hares, that is, of potsherds, in Aialon and Salebim. And the hand of the house of Joseph was heavy upon him, and he became tributary to him.
Og Amoriterne boede roligt i Har-Heres, i Ajalon og i Saalbim; dog var Josefs Huses Haand dem svar; og de bleve skatskyldige.
36 And the border of the Amorrhite was from the ascent of the scorpion, the rock, and the higher places.
Og Amoriternes Landemærke var fra Opgangen til Akrabbim, fra Klippen og op efter.
