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?
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, Judas shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.
Og Herren sagde: Juda skal drage op; se, jeg har givet Landet i hans Haand.
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.
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 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.
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 overtook Adonibezek in Bezek, and fought against him; and they struck the Chananite and the Pherezite.
Og de fandt Adoni-Besek i Besek og strede imod ham, og de sloge Kananiterne og Feresiterne.
6 And Adonibezek fled, and they pursued after him, and took him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.
Men Adoni-Besek flyede, og de forfulgte ham; og de grebe ham og afhuggede hans Tommelfingre og hans Tommeltæer.
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.
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 Judas fought against Jerusalem, and took it, and struck with the edge of the sword, and they burnt the city with fire.
Og Judas Børn strede imod Jerusalem og indtoge den og sloge den med skarpe Sværd og satte Ild paa Staden.
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.
Derefter droge Judas Børn ned for at stride imod Kananiterne, som boede paa Bjerget og imod Sønden og i Lavlandet.
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.
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 they went up thence to the inhabitants of Dabir; but the name of Dabir was before Cariathsepher, the city of Letters.
Og han drog derfra mod Debirs Indbyggere; og Debirs Navn var fordum Kirjath-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.
Og Kaleb sagde: Hvo der slaar Kirjath-Sefer og indtager den, ham vil jeg give Aksa, min Datter, til Hustru.
13 And Gothoniel the younger son of Kenez the brother of Chaleb took it; and Chaleb gave him his daughter Ascha to wife.
Da indtog Othniel, en Søn af Kenas, Kalebs yngre Broder, den; og han gav ham Aksa, sin Datter, til Hustru.
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?
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 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].
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
Og Juda indtog Gaza og dens Landemærke og Askion og dens Landemærke og Ekron og dens Landemærke.
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.
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 Chebron to Chaleb, as Moses said; and thence he inherited the three cities of the children of Enac.
Og de gave Kaleb Hebron, som Mose havde sagt, og han fordrev derfra de tre Anaks Sønner.
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.
Og Benjamins Børn fordreve ikke Jebusiten, som boede i Jerusalem; men Jebusiten boede hos Benjamins Børn i Jerusalem indtil denne Dag.
22 And the sons of Joseph, they also went up to Baethel; and the Lord was with them.
Og Josefs Hus drog ogsaa op imod Bethel, og Herren var med dem.
23 And they encamped and surveyed Baethel: and the name of the city before was Luza.
Og Josefs Hus bespejdede Bethel; men Stadens Navn var fordum Lus.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
Da gik Manden til Hethiternes Land, og han byggede en Stad og kaldte dens Navn Lus, det er dens Navn indtil denne Dag.
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.
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 And it came to pass when Israel was strong, that he made the Chananite tributary, but did not utterly drive them out.
Og det skete, der Israel blev stærk, da gjorde han Kananiten skatskyldig; men han fordrev ham ikke aldeles.
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.
Og Efraim fordrev ikke Kananiten, som boede i Geser; men Kananiten boede midt iblandt dem i Geser.
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.
Sebulon fordrev ikke Indbyggerne i Kitron eller Indbyggerne i Nahalol; men Kananiten boede midt iblandt dem og blev skatskyldig.
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.
Aser fordrev ikke Indbyggerne i Akko eller Indbyggerne i Zidon og Alab og Aksib og Helba og Afik og Rehob.
32 And Aser lived in the midst of the Chananite who inhabited the land, for he could not drive him out.
Og Aseriterne boede iblandt Kananiterne, Landets Indbyggere; thi de fordreve dem ikke.
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.
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 Amorite drove out the children of Dan into the mountains, for they did not suffer them to come down into the valley.
Og Amoriterne trængte Dans Børn hen til Bjerget; thi de tilstedte dem ikke at komme ned i Dalen.
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.
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 Amorite [was] from the going up of Acrabin, from the rock and upwards.
Og Amoriternes Landemærke var fra Opgangen til Akrabbim, fra Klippen og op efter.
