Judges 1

1 AND IT came to pass after the death of Joshua, that the children of Israel asked the LORD, saying: 'Who shall go up for us first against the Canaanites, to fight against them?'

Torej po Józuetovi smrti se je pripetilo, da so Izraelovi otroci vprašali Gospoda, rekoč: »Kdo bo za nas najprej šel gor zoper Kánaance, da se bori zoper njih?«

2 And LORD said: 'Judah shall go up; behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.'

Gospod je rekel: »Juda bo šel gor. Glejte, deželo sem izročil v njegovo roko.«

3 And Judah said unto Simeon his brother: 'Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with thee into thy lot.' So Simeon went with him.

Juda je svojemu bratu Simeonu rekel: »Pridi gor z menoj v moj žreb, da se bova lahko borila zoper Kánaance in prav tako bom tudi jaz šel s teboj v tvoj žreb.« Tako je Simeon odšel z njim.

4 And Judah went up; and the LORD delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand; and they smote of them in Bezek ten thousand men.

Juda je odšel gor in Gospod je Kánaance in Perizéjce izročil v njuno roko in izmed njih sta v Bezeku usmrtila deset tisoč mož.

5 And they found Adoni-bezek in Bezek; and they fought against him, and they smote the Canaanites and the Perizzites.

V Bezeku sta našla Adoní Bezeka in se borila zoper njega ter usmrtila Kánaance in Perizéjce.

6 But Adoni-bezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.

Toda Adoní Bezek je pobegnil in sledila sta za njim, ga ujela ter odsekala njegova palca in velika prsta na njegovih stopalih.

7 And Adoni-bezek said: 'Threescore and ten kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered food under my table; as I have done, so God hath requited me.' And they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.

Adoní Bezek je rekel: »Sedemdeset kraljev, ki imajo odsekane svoje palce in svoje palce na stopalih, je svojo hrano pobiralo pod mojo mizo. Kakor sem jaz storil, tako mi je Bog poplačal.« In odvedla sta ga v Jeruzalem in tam je umrl.

8 And the children of Judah fought against Jerusalem, and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.

Torej Judovi otroci so se borili zoper Jeruzalem, ga zavzeli, udarili z ostrino meča in zažgali mesto.

9 And afterward the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites that dwelt in the hill-country, and in the South, and in the Lowland.

Potem so Judovi otroci odšli dol, da se borijo zoper Kánaance, ki prebivajo na gori, na jugu in v dolini.

10 And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron — now the name of Hebron beforetime was Kiriath-arba — and they smote Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.

Juda je odšel zoper Kánaance, ki prebivajo v Hebrónu (torej ime Hebróna je bilo prej Kirját Arba) in usmrtili so Šešája, Ahimána in Talmája.

11 And from thence he went against the inhabitants of Debir — now the name of Debir beforetime was Kiriath-sepher.

Od tam je odšel zoper prebivalce Debírja. Ime Debírja pa je bilo prej Kirját Sefer.

12 And Caleb said: 'He that smiteth Kiriath-sepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.'

Kaléb je rekel: »Kdor udari Kirját Sefer in ga zavzame, njemu bom dal svojo hčer Ahso za ženo.«

13 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it; and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.

Zavzel ga je Kenázov sin Otniél, Kalébov mlajši brat in dal mu je svojo hčer Ahso za ženo.

14 And it came to pass, when she came unto him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field; and she alighted from off her ass; and Caleb said unto her: 'What wouldest thou?'

Ko je prišla k njemu se je pripetilo, da ga je primorala, da prosi od svojega očeta polje in razjahala je svojega osla in Kaléb ji je rekel: »Kaj hočeš?«

15 And she said unto him: 'Give me a blessing; for that thou hast set me in the Southland, give me therefore springs of water.' And Caleb gave her the Upper Springs and the Nether Springs.

Rekla mu je: »Daj mi blagoslov, kajti dal si mi južno deželo; daj mi tudi vodne izvire.« In Kaléb ji je dal gornje izvire in spodnje izvire.

16 And the children of the Kenite, Moses' father-in-law, went up out of the city of palm-trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which is in the south of Arad; and they went and dwelt with the people.

Otroci Kenéjca, Mojzesovega tasta, so z Judovimi otroki odšli gor iz mesta palmovih dreves v Judovo divjino, ki leži na jugu Aráda in odšli so ter prebivali med ljudstvom.

17 And Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they smote the Canaanites that inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. And the name of the city was called Hormah.

Juda je odšel s svojim bratom Simeonom in usmrtili so Kánaance, ki naseljujejo Cefát in ga popolnoma uničili. Ime mesta se je imenovalo Horma.

18 Also Judah took Gaza with the border thereof, and Ashkelon with the border thereof, and Ekron with the border thereof.

Juda je zavzel tudi Gazo z njenimi pokrajinami, Aškelón z njegovimi pokrajinami in Ekrón z njegovimi pokrajinami.

19 And the LORD was with Judah; and he drove out the inhabitants of the hill-country; for he could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.

Gospod je bil z Judom in napodil je prebivalce gore, toda ni mogel napoditi prebivalcev doline, ker so imeli železne vozove.

20 And they gave Hebron unto Caleb, as Moses had spoken; and he drove out thence the three sons of Anak.

Hebrón so dali Kalébu, kakor je rekel Mojzes, in od tam je izgnal tri Anákove sinove.

21 And the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites that inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwelt with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem, unto this day.

Benjaminovi otroci pa niso napodili Jebusejcev, ki so naseljevali Jeruzalem, temveč Jebusejci prebivajo z Benjaminovimi otroki v Jeruzalemu do današnjega dne.

22 And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Beth-el; and the LORD was with them.

Jožefova hiša, tudi oni so se dvignili zoper Betel in Gospod je bil z njimi.

23 And the house of Joseph sent to spy out Beth-el — now the name of the city beforetime was Luz.

Jožefova hiša je poslala, da razišče Betel. (Torej ime mesta je bilo prej Luz.)

24 And the watchers saw a man come forth out of the city, and they said unto him: 'Show us, we pray thee, the entrance into the city, and we will deal kindly with thee.'

Ogledniki so videli moža priti iz mesta in mu rekli: »Pokaži nam, prosimo te, vhod v mesto, mi pa ti bomo izkazali usmiljenje.«

25 And he showed them the entrance into the city, and they smote the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man go and all his family.

Ko jim je ta pokazal vhod v mesto, potem so mesto udarili z ostrino meča, toda spustili so moža in vso njegovo družino.

26 And the man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a city, and called the name thereof Luz, which is the name thereof unto this day.

Mož je odšel v deželo Hetejcev, zgradil mesto in njegovo ime imenoval Luz, kar je njegovo ime do današnjega dne.

27 And Manasseh did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shean and its towns, nor of Taanach and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns; but the Canaanites were resolved to dwell in that land.

Niti Manáse ni napodil prebivalcev Bet Šeána in njegovih mest, niti Taanáha in njegovih mest, niti prebivalcev Dora in njegovih mest, niti prebivalcev Jibleáma in njegovih mest, niti prebivalcev Megída in njenih mest, temveč so Kánaanci hoteli prebivati v tej deželi.

28 And it came to pass, when Israel was waxen strong, that they put the Canaanites to task-work, but did in no wise drive them out.

Pripetilo se je, ko je bil Izrael močan, da so Kánaance podvrgli davku, niso pa jih popolnoma pognali ven.

29 And Ephraim drove not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.

Niti ni Efrájim napodil Kánaancev, ki prebivajo v Gezerju, temveč Kánaanci prebivajo med njimi v Gezerju.

30 Zebulun drove not out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became tributary.

Niti ni Zábulon napodil prebivalcev Kitróna niti prebivalcev Nahalóla, temveč so Kánaanci prebivali med njimi in postali so davkoplačevalci.

31 Asher drove not out the inhabitants of Acco, nor the inhabitants of Zidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob;

Niti ni Aser napodil prebivalcev Aka, niti prebivalcev Sidóna, niti Ahalaba, niti Ahzíba, niti Helbe, niti Aféke, niti Rehóba,

32 but the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; for they did not drive them out.

temveč so Aserjevci prebivali med Kánaanci, prebivalci dežele, kajti niso jih pognali ven.

33 Naphtali drove not out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh, nor the inhabitants of Beth-anath; but he dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and of Beth-anath became tributary unto them.

Niti ni Neftáli napodil prebivalcev Bet Šemeša niti prebivalcev Bet Anáta, temveč je prebival med Kánaanci, prebivalci dežele. Kljub temu so jim prebivalci Bet Šemeša in Bet Anáta postali davkoplačevalci.

34 And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the hill-country; for they would not suffer them to come down to the valley.

Amoréjci pa so Danove otroke potisnili na goro, kajti niso jim hoteli pustiti, da pridejo dol k dolini,

35 But the Amorites were resolved to dwell in Harheres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim; yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, so that they became tributary.

temveč so Amoréjci hoteli prebivati na gori Heres v Ajalónu in v Šaalbímu. Vendar je roka Jožefove hiše prevladala, tako da so postali davkoplačevalci.

36 And the border of the Amorites was from the ascent of Akrabbim, from Sela, and upward.

Pokrajina Amoréjcev je bila od vzpona k Akrabímu, od skale in navzgor.
