Judges 1
1 And it came to pass after the death of Joshua, that the children of Israel asked of the LORD, saying, Who shall go up for us first against the Canaanites, 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, Judah 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 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.
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 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.
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 found Adoni-bezek in Bezek: and they fought against him, and they smote 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 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 Adoni-bezek said, Threescore and ten kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered [their meat] under my table: as I have done, so God hath requited 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 Judah fought against Jerusalem, and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.
Og Judas Børn strede imod Jerusalem og indtoge den og sloge den med skarpe Sværd og satte Ild paa Staden.
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.
Derefter droge Judas Børn ned for at stride imod Kananiterne, som boede paa Bjerget og imod Sønden og i Lavlandet.
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.
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 he went against the inhabitants of Debir. (Now the name of Debir beforetime was Kiriath-sepher.)
Og han drog derfra mod Debirs Indbyggere; og Debirs Navn var fordum Kirjath-Sefer.
12 And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kiriath-sepher, and taketh it, to him will I give 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 son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, took it: and he gave him 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 it came to pass, when she came [unto him], that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she lighted down from off her ass; and Caleb said unto her, What wouldest 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 she said unto him, Give me a blessing; for that thou hast set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water. And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the nether 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 the Kenite, Moses’ brother 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.
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 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.
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 Judah took Gaza with the border thereof, and Ashkelon with the border thereof, and Ekron with the border thereof.
Og Juda indtog Gaza og dens Landemærke og Askion og dens Landemærke og Ekron og dens Landemærke.
19 And the LORD was with Judah; and he drave out [the inhabitants of] the hill country; for he could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.
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 Hebron unto Caleb, as Moses had spoken: and he drave out thence the three sons of Anak.
Og de gave Kaleb Hebron, som Mose havde sagt, og han fordrev derfra de tre Anaks Sønner.
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.
Og Benjamins Børn fordreve ikke Jebusiten, som boede i Jerusalem; men Jebusiten boede hos Benjamins Børn i Jerusalem indtil denne Dag.
22 And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Beth-el: and the LORD was with them.
Og Josefs Hus drog ogsaa op imod Bethel, og Herren var med dem.
23 And the house of Joseph sent to spy out Beth-el. (Now the name of the city beforetime was Luz.)
Og Josefs Hus bespejdede Bethel; men Stadens Navn var fordum Lus.
24 And the watchers saw a man come forth out of the city, and they said unto him, Shew us, we pray thee, the entrance into the city, and we will deal kindly with thee.
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 shewed 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.
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 the Hittites, and built a city, and called the name thereof Luz: which is the name thereof unto 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 Manasseh did not drive out [the inhabitants of] Beth-shean and her towns, nor [of] Taanach and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns: but the Canaanites would dwell in that 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 waxen strong, that they put the Canaanites to taskwork, and 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 drave not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.
Og Efraim fordrev ikke Kananiten, som boede i Geser; men Kananiten boede midt iblandt dem i Geser.
30 Zebulun drave not out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became tributary.
Sebulon fordrev ikke Indbyggerne i Kitron eller Indbyggerne i Nahalol; men Kananiten boede midt iblandt dem og blev skatskyldig.
31 Asher drave 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:
Aser fordrev ikke Indbyggerne i Akko eller Indbyggerne i Zidon og Alab og Aksib og Helba og Afik og Rehob.
32 but the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: for they did not drive them out.
Og Aseriterne boede iblandt Kananiterne, Landets Indbyggere; thi de fordreve dem ikke.
33 Naphtali drave 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.
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 Amorites forced the children of Dan into the hill country: for they would not suffer them to come down to the valley:
Og Amoriterne trængte Dans Børn hen til Bjerget; thi de tilstedte dem ikke at komme ned i Dalen.
35 but the Amorites would dwell in mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim: yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, so that they became tributary.
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 Amorites was from the ascent of Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward.
Og Amoriternes Landemærke var fra Opgangen til Akrabbim, fra Klippen og op efter.
