Judges 1
1 And it came to pass after the death of Joshua, that the children of Israel enquired of the Lord, saying, Who shall go up for us first against the Chananites, to fight against them?
Sesudah Yosua meninggal, umat Israel bertanya kepada TUHAN, "TUHAN, suku yang mana dari kami harus pertama-tama pergi menyerang orang Kanaan?"
2 And the Lord said, Judas shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.
TUHAN menjawab, "Suku Yehuda. Mereka sudah Kuberikan kekuasaan untuk merebut negeri itu."
3 And Judas said to his brother Symeon, Come up with me into my lot, and let us array ourselves against the Chananites, and I also will go with you into your lot: and Symeon went with him.
Lalu kata suku Yehuda kepada suku Simeon, "Bantulah kami memerangi orang Kanaan dan merebut wilayah yang ditentukan TUHAN untuk kami. Nanti kami pun akan membantu kalian merebut wilayah yang ditentukan TUHAN untuk kalian." Maka suku Simeon
4 And Judas went up; and the Lord delivered the Chananite and the Pherezite into their hands, and they struck them in Bezek to [the number of] ten thousand men.
dan Yehuda pergi bertempur bersama-sama. Dan TUHAN memberikan kepada mereka kemenangan atas orang Kanaan dan orang Feris. Sepuluh ribu orang tentara musuh tewas di Bezek.
5 And they overtook Adonibezek in Bezek, and fought against him; and they struck the Chananite and the Pherezite.
Mereka menemukan Adoni-Bezek, raja negeri itu, dan menyerang dia.
6 And Adonibezek fled, and they pursued after him, and took him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.
Ia lari, tetapi mereka mengejar dan menangkap dia lalu memotong ibu jari tangan dan kakinya.
7 And Adonibezek said, Seventy kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered [their food] under my table: as I therefore have done, so God has recompensed me: and they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
Kata Adoni-Bezek, "Dahulu tujuh puluh raja sudah kupotong ibu jari tangan dan kakinya, lalu kubiarkan mereka makan sisa-sisa makanan yang jatuh dari mejaku. Sekarang Allah memperlakukan aku sama seperti aku memperlakukan mereka." Adoni-Bezek kemudian diangkut ke Yerusalem, dan di sanalah ia meninggal.
8 And the children of Judas fought against Jerusalem, and took it, and struck with the edge of the sword, and they burnt the city with fire.
Orang Yehuda menyerang Yerusalem, lalu merebut dan membakar kota itu serta membunuh penduduknya.
9 And afterwards the children of Judas went down to fight with the Chananite dwelling in the hill country, and the south, and the plain country.
Setelah itu mereka pergi lagi menyerang orang Kanaan yang tinggal di daerah pegunungan, dan di lereng-lereng bukit; juga yang tinggal di daerah kering di sebelah selatan,
10 And Judas went to the Chananite who lived in Chebron; and Chebron came out against him; [and the name of Chebron before was Cariatharbocsepher: ] and they struck Sessi, and Achiman, and Tholmi, children of Enac.
dan di kota Hebron, yaitu kota yang dahulu dinamakan Kiryat-Arba. Di situ orang Yehuda mengalahkan kaum Sesai, Ahiman dan Talmai.
11 And they went up thence to the inhabitants of Dabir; but the name of Dabir was before Cariathsepher, the city of Letters.
Dari Hebron, orang Yehuda pergi menyerbu kota Debir, yang pada waktu itu bernama Kiryat-Sefer.
12 And Chaleb said, Whosoever shall strike the city of Letters, and shall first take it, I will give to him Ascha my daughter to wife.
Salah seorang dari suku Yehuda itu, yang bernama Kaleb, berkata, "Barangsiapa dapat merebut Kiryat-Sefer, ia boleh kawin dengan anak perempuan saya Akhsa."
13 And Gothoniel the younger son of Kenez the brother of Chaleb took it; and Chaleb gave him his daughter Ascha to wife.
Otniel, anak dari adik Kaleb yang bernama Kenas, merebut kota itu. Maka Kaleb memberikan Akhsa, anaknya, menjadi istri Otniel.
14 And it came to pass as she went in, that Gothoniel urged her to ask a field of her father; and she murmured and cried from off her ass, You have sent me forth into a south land: and Chaleb said to her, What is your request?
Pada hari perkawinan mereka, Otniel mendesak Akhsa supaya meminta sebidang tanah dari ayahnya. Maka turunlah Akhsa dari keledainya, lalu Kaleb menanyakan kepadanya apa yang diinginkannya.
15 And Ascha said to him, Give me, I pray you, a blessing, for you have sent me forth into a south land, and you shall give me the ransom of water: and Chaleb gave her according to her heart the ransom of the upper [springs] and the ransom of the low [springs].
Akhsa menjawab, "Saya ingin beberapa sumber air, sebab tanah yang ayah berikan kepada saya itu berada di daerah yang kering." Maka Kaleb memberikan kepadanya sumber air di bagian hulu dan sumber air di bagian hilir.
16 And the children of Jothor the Kenite the father-in-law of Moses went up from the city of palm-trees with the children of Judas, to the wilderness that is in the south of Juda, which is at the descent of Arad, and they lived with the people.
Keturunan ayah mertua Musa, yaitu orang-orang Keni, mengikuti orang Yehuda keluar dari Yerikho, kota kurma, dan pergi ke daerah yang gersang di sebelah selatan Arad di Yehuda. Di sana mereka menetap di tengah-tengah bangsa Amalek.
17 And Judas went with Symeon his brother, and struck the Chananite that inhabited Sepheth, and they utterly destroyed them; and they called the name of the city Anathema.
Kemudian bersama-sama dengan suku Simeon, suku Yehuda itu pergi menyerang dan mengalahkan orang Kanaan yang tinggal di kota Zefat. Mereka mengutuki kota itu, kemudian memusnahkannya lalu menamakannya Horma.
18 But Judas did not inherit Gaza nor her coasts, nor Ascalon nor her coasts, nor Accaron nor her coasts, [nor] Azotus nor the lands around it.
TUHAN menolong orang Yehuda sehingga mereka dapat merebut daerah pegunungan. Tetapi mereka tidak dapat merebut Gaza, Askelon ataupun Ekron dengan daerah-daerah di sekitarnya, karena bangsa-bangsa yang tinggal di sepanjang pesisir mempunyai kereta-kereta perang dari besi; karena itu orang Yehuda tidak dapat mengusir mereka.
19 And the Lord was with Judas, and he inherited the mountain; for they were not able to destroy the inhabitants of the valley, for Rechab prevented them.
20 And they gave Chebron to Chaleb, as Moses said; and thence he inherited the three cities of the children of Enac.
Seperti yang telah diperintahkan oleh Musa, Hebron diberikan kepada Kaleb, sebab dahulu tiga golongan kaum keturunan Enak sudah diusir Kaleb dari kota itu.
21 But the children of Benjamin did not take the inheritance of the Jebusite who lived in Jerusalem; and the Jebusite lived with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem until this day.
Suku Benyamin tidak dapat mengusir orang Yebus keluar dari kota Yerusalem. Itu sebabnya orang Yebus masih tinggal di sana bersama-sama dengan orang Benyamin.
22 And the sons of Joseph, they also went up to Baethel; and the Lord was with them.
Suku Efraim dan Manasye keturunan Yusuf, pergi menyerang kota Betel, yang ketika itu bernama Lus. Dan TUHAN menolong mereka. Pada waktu mata-mata diutus menuju ke kota itu,
23 And they encamped and surveyed Baethel: and the name of the city before was Luza.
24 And the spies looked, and behold, a man went out of the city, and they took him; and they said to him, Show us the way into the city, and we will deal mercifully with you.
mereka bertemu dengan seorang laki-laki yang datang dari kota. Kata mereka kepadanya, "Kalau engkau mau menolong kami supaya kami dapat masuk ke dalam kota ini, kami akan memperlakukanmu dengan baik."
25 And he showed them the way into the city; and they struck the city with the edge of the sword; but they let go the man and his family.
Maka orang itu menunjukkan kepada mereka jalan masuk ke kota itu. Lalu orang-orang Efraim dan Manasye memasuki kota itu serta membunuh seluruh penduduknya, kecuali orang itu dengan sanak-keluarganya.
26 And the man went into the land of Chettin, and built there a city, and called the name of it Luza; this [is] its name until this day.
Ia kemudian pindah ke negeri orang Het, lalu membangun sebuah kota di situ dan menamakannya Lus. Kota itu masih tetap bernama demikian.
27 And Manasse did not drive out [the inhabitants of] Baethsan, which is a city of Scythians, nor her towns, nor her suburbs; nor Thanac, nor her towns; nor the inhabitants of Dor, nor her suburbs, nor her towns; nor the inhabitant of Balac, nor her suburbs, nor her towns; nor the inhabitants of Magedo, nor her suburbs, nor her towns; nor the inhabitants of Jeblaam, nor her suburbs, nor her towns; and the Chananite began to dwell in this land.
Suku Manasye tidak mengusir penduduk kota Bet-Sean, Taanakh, Dor, Yibleam dan Megido dengan kampung-kampung di dekatnya. Jadi orang Kanaan tetap tinggal di situ.
28 And it came to pass when Israel was strong, that he made the Chananite tributary, but did not utterly drive them out.
Memang setelah orang Israel bertambah kuat, mereka memaksa orang Kanaan bekerja untuk mereka, tetapi mereka juga tidak mengusir orang-orang Kanaan itu sama sekali dari situ.
29 And Ephraim did not drive out the Chananite that lived in Gazer; and the Chananite lived in the midst of him in Gazer, and became tributary.
Di kota Gezer, suku Efraim tidak mengusir orang Kanaan, penduduk kota itu. Jadi, orang Kanaan masih tetap tinggal disitu bersama-sama dengan mereka.
30 And Zabulon did not drive out the inhabitants of Kedron, nor the inhabitants of Domana: and the Chananite lived in the midst of them, and became tributary to them.
Penduduk kota Kitron dan Nahalol tidak pula diusir oleh suku Zebulon. Itu sebabnya bangsa Kanaan masih tetap tinggal di situ bersama-sama dengan mereka, tetapi orang-orang Kanaan itu dipaksa bekerja untuk mereka.
31 And Aser did not drive out the inhabitants of Accho, and [that people] became tributary to him, nor the inhabitants of Dor, nor the inhabitants of Sidon, nor the inhabitants of Dalaph, nor Aschazi, nor Chebda, nor Nai, nor Ereo.
Penduduk kota Ako, Sidon, Ahlab, Akhzib, Helba, Afek, dan Rehob juga tidak diusir oleh suku Asyer.
32 And Aser lived in the midst of the Chananite who inhabited the land, for he could not drive him out.
Itu sebabnya orang Kanaan, penduduk asli negeri itu masih tinggal di situ bersama-sama dengan orang Asyer.
33 And Nephthali did not drive out the inhabitants of Baethsamys, nor the inhabitants of Baethanach; and Nephthali lived in the midst of the Chananite who inhabited the land: but the inhabitants of Bethsamys and of Baetheneth became tributary to them.
Penduduk kota Bet-Semes dan Bet-Anat pun tidak diusir oleh suku Naftali. Itu sebabnya orang Kanaan, penduduk asli negeri itu masih tinggal di situ bersama-sama dengan orang Naftali. Tetapi, mereka dipaksa bekerja untuk orang Naftali.
34 And the Amorite drove out the children of Dan into the mountains, for they did not suffer them to come down into the valley.
Bangsa Amori masih tetap tinggal di Ayalon, Saalbim dan Gunung Heres, sebab suku Dan didesak oleh mereka ke daerah pegunungan, dan tidak dibiarkan turun ke daerah dataran rendah. Tetapi bangsa Amori itu selalu ditekan oleh suku Efraim dan Manasye serta dipaksa bekerja untuk kedua suku itu.
35 And the Amorite began to dwell in the mountain of shells, in which [are] bears, and foxes, in Myrsinon, and in Thalabin; and the hand of the house of Joseph was heavy upon the Amorite, and he became tributary to them.
36 And the border of the Amorite [was] from the going up of Acrabin, from the rock and upwards.
Di sebelah utara Sela, batas daerah orang-orang Amori melewati Pendakian Akrabim.
