< Judges 1 >

1 After that Ioshua was dead, the children of Israel asked ye Lord, saying, Who shall goe vp for vs against the Canaanites, to fight first against them?
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, Iudah shall goe vp: behold, I haue giuen the land into his hande.
Og Herren sagde: Juda skal drage op; se, jeg har givet Landet i hans Haand.
3 And Iudah said vnto Simeon his brother, Come vp with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites: and I likewise will goe with thee into thy lot: so 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 Then Iudah went vp, and the Lord deliuered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hands, and they slew of them in Bezek 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 founde Adoni-bezek in Bezek: and they fought against him, and slewe the Canaanites, and the Perizzites.
Og de fandt Adoni-Besek i Besek og strede imod ham, og de sloge Kananiterne og Feresiterne.
6 But Adoni-bezek fled, and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off the thumbes of his hands and of his feete.
Men Adoni-Besek flyede, og de forfulgte ham; og de grebe ham og afhuggede hans Tommelfingre og hans Tommeltæer.
7 And Adoni-bezek said, Seuentie Kings hauing the thumbes of their hands and of their feete cut off, gathered bread vnder my table: as I haue done, so God hath rewarded me. so they brought him to Ierusalem, and there he died.
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 (Nowe the children of Iudah had fought against Ierusalem, and had taken it and smitten it with the edge of the sworde, and had set the citie on fire.)
Og Judas Børn strede imod Jerusalem og indtoge den og sloge den med skarpe Sværd og satte Ild paa Staden.
9 Afterwarde also the children of Iudah went downe to fight against the Canaanites, that dwelt in the mountaine, and towarde the South, and in the lowe countrey.
Derefter droge Judas Børn ned for at stride imod Kananiterne, som boede paa Bjerget og imod Sønden og i Lavlandet.
10 And Iudah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron, which Hebron beforetime was called Kiriath-arba: and they slewe Sheshai, and Ahiman and Talmai.
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 from thence hee went to the inhabitantes of Debir, and the name of Debir in olde time was Kiriath-sepher.
Og han drog derfra mod Debirs Indbyggere; og Debirs Navn var fordum Kirjath-Sefer.
12 And Caleb saide, He that smiteth Kiriath-sepher, and taketh it, euen to him wil I giue Achsah my daughter to wife.
Og Kaleb sagde: Hvo der slaar Kirjath-Sefer og indtager den, ham vil jeg give Aksa, min Datter, til Hustru.
13 And Othniel the sonne of Kenaz Calebs yonger brother tooke it, to whome hee gaue Achsah 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 when shee came to him, shee mooued him to aske of her father a field, and shee lighted off her asse, and Caleb saide vnto her, What wilt thou?
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 And shee answered him, Giue mee a blessing: for thou hast giuen me a South countrey, giue me also springs of water: and Caleb gaue her the springs aboue and the springs beneath.
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 childre of Keni Moses father in law went vp out of the citie of the palme trees with the children of Iudah, into the wildernesse of Iudah, that lieth in the South of Arad, and went and dwelt among the people.

17 But Iudah went with Simeon his brother, and they slewe the Canaanites that inhabited Zephath, and vtterly destroied it, and called the name of the citie Hormah.
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 Also Iudah tooke Azzah with the coasts thereof, and Askelon with the coasts thereof, and Ekron with the coastes thereof.
Og Juda indtog Gaza og dens Landemærke og Askion og dens Landemærke og Ekron og dens Landemærke.
19 And the Lord was with Iudah, and he possessed the mountaines: for he could not driue out the inhabitantes of the valleis, because they had charrets of yron.

24 And the spies sawe a man come out of the citie, and they saide vnto him, Shewe vs, we praie thee, the way into the citie, and we will shewe thee mercie.
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 hee had shewed them the waie into the citie, they smote the citie with the edge of the sworde, but they let the man and all his housholde depart.
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 Then the man went into the lande of the Hittites, and built a citie, and called the name thereof Luz, which is the name thereof vnto this daie.
Da gik Manden til Hethiternes Land, og han byggede en Stad og kaldte dens Navn Lus, det er dens Navn indtil denne Dag.
