Judges 1
1 After Joshua died, the Israelites asked the Lord, “Which tribe from among us should go first and attack the Canaanites?”
Poslije smrti Jošuine upitaše Izraelci Jahvu: “Tko će od nas prvi poći na Kanaance da se protiv njih bori?”
2 “Judah is to go first,” the Lord replied. “I have handed the land over to them.”
A Jahve odgovori: “Neka Juda prvi pođe; u njegove ruke stavljam zemlju.”
3 The men of Judah said to their relatives of the tribe of Simeon, “Come with us to the land that has been allotted to us, and fight together with us against the Canaanites. Then we'll do the same for you and your allotted land.” So the tribe of Simeon joined with them.
Tada Juda reče svome bratu Šimunu: “Pođi sa mnom u zemlju koja mi je dosuđena u baštinu; borit ćemo se protiv Kanaanaca, a potom ću se ja uza te boriti na tvojoj zemlji.” I Šimun ode s njim.
4 The men of Judah attacked the Canaanites and Perizzites, and the Lord handed them over in defeat. They killed ten thousand of the enemy at the town of Bezek.
Ode Juda i Jahve im predade u ruke Kanaance i Perižane te pobiše u Bezeku deset tisuća ljudi.
5 There they confronted Adoni-bezek and fought with him, defeating the Canaanites and Perizzites.
U Bezeku zatekoše Adoni-Sedeka, udariše na nj i poraziše Kanaance i Perižane.
6 Adoni-bezek ran away, but they chased after him and captured him, and then cut off his thumbs and big toes.
Kad je Adoni-Sedek nagnuo u bijeg, gonili su ga, uhvatili ga i odsjekli mu palce na rukama i nogama.
7 Adoni-bezek said, “I had seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off picking up left-overs from under my table. Now God has paid me back in the same way what I did to them.” They took him to Jerusalem where he died.
Tada reče Adoni-Sedek: “Sedamdeset kraljeva odsječenih palaca na rukama i na nogama kupilo je mrvice pod mojim stolom. Kako sam činio, tako mi Bog vraća.” Odveli su ga u Jeruzalem i ondje je umro.
8 The men of Judah attacked Jerusalem and conquered it. They killed the inhabitants with the sword and burned the town down.
Zatim Judini sinovi udariše na Jeruzalem, osvojiše ga, posjekoše mačem žitelje i spališe grad.
9 After this the men of Judah went to fight against the Canaanites living in the hill country, in the Negev, and in the foothills of the lowlands.
Poslije toga krenuše Judini sinovi da se bore protiv Kanaanaca koji su živjeli u Gorju, Negebu i u Šefeli.
10 They attacked the Canaanites who lived Hebron (previously known as Kiriath Arba) and defeated Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.
Onda Juda ode na Kanaance koji su živjeli u Hebronu - Hebronu bijaše nekoć ime Kirjat Arba - i ondje potuče Šešaja, Ahimana i Talmaja.
11 From there they went on to attack the people living in Debir (previously known as Kiriath Sepher).
Odatle krenu na stanovnike Debira, koji se nekoć zvao Kirjat Sefer.
12 Caleb announced, “I will give my daughter Acsah in marriage to whoever attacks and captures Kiriath Sepher.”
Tada reče Kaleb: “Tko pokori i zauzme Kirjat Sefer, dat ću mu svoju kćer Aksu za ženu.”
13 Othniel, son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, was the one captured it, so he gave him his daughter Acsah in marriage.
Zauze ga Otniel, sin Kenaza, mlađeg brata Kalebova, i Kaleb mu dade svoju kćer Aksu za ženu.
14 When Acsah came to Othniel, she encouraged him to ask her father for a field. As she got off her donkey, Caleb asked her, “What do you want?”
Kad je prišla mužu, on je nagovori da u svoga oca ište polje. Siđe ona s magarca, a Kaleb je upita: “Što hoćeš?”
15 “Please give me a blessing,” she replied. “You gave me land that's like the desert, so please give me springs of water as well.” So Caleb gave her the upper and lower springs.
Ona mu odgovori: “Daj mi blagoslov! Kad si mi dao kraj u Negebu, daj mi onda i koji izvor vode.” I Kaleb joj dade Gornje i Donje izvore.
16 The descendants of Moses' father-in-law, the Kenite, went with the people of Judah from the city of palms to the wilderness of Judah in the Negev near Arad where they settled among the people.
Sinovi Hobaba Kenijca, tasta Mojsijeva, odoše iz Palmova grada s Judinim sinovima u Judinu pustinju, koja je u Negebu, na jugu od Arada. Tu se nastaniše među Amalečanima.
17 Then Judah joined Simeon and defeated the Canaanites living in Zephath. They completely destroyed the town, so they named it Hormah.
Potom ode Juda s bratom Šimunom i pobiše Kanaance koji su živjeli u Sefatu i grad izručiše “heremu”, prokletstvu. Zbog toga se grad prozva Horma.
18 Judah also captured the towns of Gaza, Ashkelon, and Ekron, each with its surrounding territory.
Ali Juda nije uspio zauzeti Gaze s njenim područjem, ni Aškelona s njegovim područjem, ni Ekrona s njegovim područjem.
19 The Lord was with Judah, and they took over the hill country, but they could not drive out the people living on the plain because they had iron chariots.
Jahve bijaše s njim te on osvoji gorje, ali ne mogaše potjerati onih u nizini jer imahu željezna kola.
20 As Moses had stipulated, Hebron was given to Caleb, who drove out from it the descendants of three sons of Anak.
Kao što bijaše odredio Mojsije, dadoše Hebron Kalebu, koji iz njega otjera tri sina Anakova.
21 However, Benjamin could not drive out the Jebusites, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so the Jebusites live among the people of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this very day.
A Benjaminovi sinovi ne uspješe otjerati Jebusejaca koji su živjeli u Jeruzalemu i tako Jebusejci ostadoše u Jeruzalemu s Benjaminovim sinovima do dana današnjega.
22 The descendants of Joseph went and attacked the town of Bethel, and the Lord was with them.
Krenu i pleme Josipovo na Betel i Jahve bijaše s njima.
23 They sent spies to investigate Bethel, which was previously known as Luz.
I pleme Josipovo uze izviđati Betel. Grad se nekoć zvao Luz.
24 The spies saw a man leaving the town and told him, “Please show us how to get into town, and we will treat you well.”
Uhode opaziše čovjeka gdje izlazi iz grada i rekoše mu: “Pokaži nam kuda se može u grad, pa ćemo ti biti milostivi.”
25 The man showed them the way into the town, and they killed all the inhabitants except the man and his family, whom they let go.
On im pokaza kuda mogu u grad. I sve u gradu isjekoše mačem, a onoga čovjeka sa svom njegovom obitelji pustiše da ode.
26 The man moved to the country of the Hittites, and built a town there and called it Luz, which is its name to this day.
Čovjek je otišao u zemlju Hetita i ondje sagradio grad i prozvao ga Luz. Tako se zove još i danas.
27 However, Manasseh didn't drive out the people living in the towns of Beth Shan, Taanach, Dor, Ibleam, Megiddo and their surrounding villages because the Canaanites insisted on living in the land.
Manaše nije osvojio Bet-Šeana i njegovih sela ni Tanaka i njegovih sela. Nije potjerao ni stanovnika iz Dora i njegovih sela, ni stanovnika Jibleama i njegovih sela, ni stanovnika Megida i njegovih sela. Tako su Kanaanci ostali i živjeli u toj zemlji.
28 When the Israelites grew stronger, they made the Canaanites do forced labor, but they never completely drove them out.
Kad je Izrael ojačao, nametnuo je Kanaancima tlaku, ali ih nije mogao otjerati.
29 Ephraim didn't drive out the Canaanites living in the town of Gezer, so the Canaanites went on living there among them.
Ni Efrajim nije otjerao Kanaanaca koji su živjeli u Gezeru, tako te su Kanaanci tu živjeli među njima.
30 Zebulun didn't drive out the people living in the towns of Kitron and Nahalol, so the Canaanites went on living there among them. However, the Canaanites were made to do forced labor for the people of Zebulun.
Zebulun nije otjerao stanovnika Kitrona ni stanovnika Nahalola. Tako su Kanaanci ostali usred Zebulunovih sinova, ali im bijaše nametnuta tlaka.
31 Asher didn't drive out the people living in the towns of Acco, Sidon, Ahlab, Achzib, Helbah, Aphik, and Rehob,
Ni Ašer nije otjerao stanovnika Akona, ni stanovnika Sidona, ni onih iz Mahalaba, Akziba, Helbe, Afika i Rehoba.
32 so the people of Asher went on living there among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land because they hadn't driven them out.
Ašerovci su ostali tako među Kanaancima, stanovnicima te zemlje, jer ih nisu otjerali.
33 Naphtali didn't drive out the people living in the towns of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath. So the people of Asher went on living there among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land because they hadn't driven them out. However, the people of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath were made to do forced labor for the people of Naphtali.
Naftali nije otjerao stanovnika Bet-Šemeša i Bet-Anata, nego je živio među Kanaancima koji su nastavali tu zemlju, ali je stanovnicima Bet-Šemeša i Bet-Anata nametnuta tlaka.
34 The Amorites pushed the people of Dan back into the hill country—they did not let them come down into the lowlands.
Amorejci su potisnuli Danove sinove u goru i nisu ih puštali da siđu u ravnicu.
35 The Amorites insisted on remaining in Mount Heres, Aijalon, and Shaalbim, but when the tribes of Joseph grew stronger, the Amorites were made to do forced labor.
Amorejci su se zadržali u Har-Heresu, Ajalonu i Šaalbimu, ali kad je ruka Josipova doma ojačala, bila im je nametnuta tlaka.
36 The border with the Amorites ran from Scorpion Pass through Sela and on up from there.
Područje Edomaca pruža se od Akrabimskog uspona do Stijene pa naviše.
