Judges 1
1 After Joshua died, the Israeli people asked Yahweh, “Which [of our tribes] should attack the Canaan people-group first?”
Efter Josuas Død adspurgte Israelitterne HERREN og sagde: "Hvem af os skal først drage op til Kamp mod Kana'anæerne?"
2 Yahweh replied, “I will enable the tribe of Judah to defeat [IDM] the Canaan people-group.”
HERREN svarede: "Det skal Juda; se, jeg giver Landet i hans Hånd!"
3 The men of Judah went to their fellow Israelis, [the men] from the tribe of Simeon, and said to them, “Come and help us to fight the Canaan people-group [in order that we can take from them] the land [that Yahweh] allotted to us. If you do that, we will go with you [and help you] conquer the people in the land [that Yahweh promised to give to] you.” So the men from the tribe of Simeon went with the men of the tribe of Judah.
Juda sagde da til sin Broder Simeon: "Drag op med mig i min Lod og lad os sammen kæmpe med Kana'anæerne, så skal jeg også drage med dig ind i din Lod!" Så gik da Simeon med ham.
4 When the men of those two tribes attacked, Yahweh enabled them to defeat 10,000 men of the Canaan people-group and the Periz people-group [DOU] at Bezek [city].
Juda drog nu op, og HERREN gav Kana'anæerne og Perizziterne i deres Hånd, så de slog dem i Bezek, 10000 Mand.
5 During the battle they found Adoni-Bezek, the leader of the city,
Og da de stødte på Adonibezek i Bezek, angreb de ham og slog Kana'anæerne og Perizziterne.
6 but he [tried to] run away. The Israelis pursued him and caught him. Then they cut off his thumbs and his big toes.
Adonibezek flygtede, men de satte efter ham, og da de havde grebet ham, huggede de Tommelfingrene og Tommeltæerne af ham.
7 Adoni-Bezek said, “[My army captured] 70 kings. We cut off their thumbs and big toes. After that, [we forced] those kings to eat scraps that fell from our table. Now God has (paid me back for/done to me like) [what we did to them].” Then the men of Judah took Adoni-Bezek to Jerusalem, and he died there.
Da sagde Adonibezek: "Halvfjerdsindstyve Konger med afhugne Tommelfingre og Tommeltæer havde jeg stadig til at sanke Smuler under mit Bord; hvad jeg har gjort, gengælder Gud mig!" Derpå førte man ham til Jerusalem, og der døde han.
8 The army of Judah fought against the men of Jerusalem, and they captured the city. With their swords they killed [the people who lived there] and they burned [the houses in] the city.
Og Judæerne angreb og indtog Jerusalem, huggede Indbyggerne ned og stak Ild på Byen.
9 Later, the men of Judah went down to fight the Canaan people-group who lived in the hilly area, in the desert to the south, and in the foothills [to the west].
Senere drog Judæerne ned til Kamp mod Kana'anæerne i Bjergene, i Sydlandet og i Lavlandet.
10 The men of Judah also went to fight against the Canaan people-group who lived in Hebron [city], which at that time was named Kiriath-Arba. They defeated [the armies of kings] Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.
Og Juda drog mod Kana'anæerne i Hebron - Hebron hed fordum Kirjat Arba og slog Sjesjaj, Ahiman og Talmaj.
11 Then they left that area and went to fight against the people living in Debir [city], which was previously named Kiriath-Sepher.
Derfra drog han op mod Indbyggerne i Debir, der fordum hed Kirjaf-Sefer.
12 [Before they attacked the city], Caleb said to them, “If one of you attacks and captures Kiriath-Sepher, I will allow him to marry my daughter.”
Da sagde Kaleb: "Den, som slår Kirjat Sefer og indtager det, ham giver jeg min Datter Aksa til Hustru!"
13 Othniel, who was the son of Caleb’s younger brother Kenaz, captured the city. So Caleb gave his daughter Acsah to him, to become his wife.
Og da Kenizziten Otniel, Kalebs yngre Broder, indtog det, gav han ham sin Datter Aksa til Hustru.
14 When Acsah married Othniel, she told him to ask her father to give him a field. [But she decided to ask him herself. She rode to Caleb’s house on her donkey], and when she got off the donkey, Caleb [could see that something was troubling her. So he] asked her, “What do you want?”
Men da hun kom til ham, æggede han hende til at bede sin Fader om Agerland. Hun sprang da ned af Æselet, og Kaleb spurgte hende: "Hvad vil du?"
15 She replied, “I want you to do a favor for me. You have given me some land in the southern desert, [but it is very dry there]. So please also give me some [land that has] springs of water.” So Caleb gave her some land on higher ground that had a spring, and some land on lower ground that also had a spring.
Hun svarede: "Giv mig en Velsignelse! Siden du har bortgiftet mig i det tørre Sydland, må du give mig Vandkilder!" Da gav Kaleb hende de øvre og de nedre Vandkilder.
16 The people of the Ken people-group who were descendants of Moses’ father-in-law left Jericho, which was called ‘The City of Palm Trees’. They went with some of the men of Judah to live with them in the southern desert area, near Arad [city].
Moses's Svigerfaders, Keniten Kobabs, Sønner, drog sammen med Judæerne op fra Palmestaden til Arads Ørken og bosatte sig hos Amalekiterne.
17 The men of Judah and their fellow Israelis from the tribe of Simeon defeated the people of the Canaan people-group who lived in Zephath [city]. They completely destroyed the city and gave it a new name, Hormah, [which means ‘complete destruction’].
Juda drog derpå ud med sin Broder Simeon, og de slog Kana'anæerne, som boede i Zefat, og lagde Band på Byen; derfor blev den kaldt Horma.
18 The men of Judah also captured Gaza, Ashkelon, and Ekron [cities] and all the land that is near those cities.
Og Juda indtog Gaza med dets Område, Askalon med dets Område og Ekron med dets Område.
19 Yahweh helped the men of Judah to capture the hilly area, but they could not force the people who were living in the plains to leave, because [those people had better weapons—] had iron chariots.
Og HERREN var med Juda, så han tog Bjerglandet i Besiddelse; Lavlandets Indbyggere kunde han nemlig ikke drive bort, fordi de havde Jernvogne.
20 Hebron [city] was given to Caleb because Moses had promised him that he could have that city. And Caleb forced the three clans descended from Anak to leave that area.
Haleb gav de Hebron, som Moses havde sagt. Og han drev de tre Anaksønner bort derfra.
21 But the people of the tribe of Benjamin could not force the people of the Jebus people-group to leave Jerusalem. So, since that time the people of the Jebus people-group have lived in Jerusalem with the people of the tribe of Benjamin.
Men Jebusiterne, som boede i Jerusalem, fik Judæerne ikke drevet bort, og Jebusiterne bor den Dag i Dag i Jerusalem sammen med Judæerne.
22 The men of the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh went to fight against [the men of] Bethel [city], and Yahweh helped them.
Men også Josefs Hus drog op og gik mod Betel; og HERREN var med dem.
23 They sent some spies to [find out everything that they could find out about] Bethel, which was previously called Luz.
Da Josefs Hus udspejdede Betel Byen hed fordum Luz
24 The spies saw a man who was coming out of the city. They said to him, “If you show us a way to get into the city, we will be kind to you [and we will not kill you].”
fik Spejderne Øje på en Mand, der gik ud af Byen; og de sagde til ham: "Vis os, hvor vi kan komme ind i Byen, så vil vi skåne dig!"
25 So the man showed them a way to enter the city. The men of the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh entered the city and killed all the people with their swords, but they did not kill the man [who showed them how to get into the city], and they did not kill his family.
Da viste han dem, hvor de kunde komme ind i Byen. Derpå huggede de dens Indbyggere ned, men Manden og hele hans. Slægt lod de drage bort,
26 That man went to the area where the descendants of Heth lived, and built a city. He named the city Luz, and that is still the name of that city.
og Manden begav sig til Hetiternes Land og byggede en By, som han kaldte Luz; og det hedder den endnu den Dag i Dag.
27 There were people of the Canaan people-group who lived in Beth-Shan, Taanach, Dor, Ibleam, and Megiddo [cities] and in the surrounding villages. [The men of] the tribe of Manasseh did not force those people to leave those towns, because the people of the Canaan people-group were determined to stay there.
Men Indbyggerne i Bet-Sjean og dets Småbyer og i Ta'anak og dets Småbyer, Indbyggerne i Dor og dets Småbyer, i Jibleam og dets Småbyer og i Megiddo og dets Småbyer fik Manasse ikke drevet bort; det lykkedes Kana'anæerne at blive boende i disse Egne.
28 Later, the Israelis became (stronger/more numerous), and they forced the people of the Canaan people-group to work for them [as their slaves], but they did not force all the people of the Canaan people-group to leave their land.
Da Israelitterne blev de stærkeste, gjorde de Kana'anæerne til Hoveriarbejdere, men drev dem ikke bort.
29 [The men of] the tribe of Ephraim did not force the people of the Canaan people-group to leave Gezer [city]. So the people of the Canaan people-group continued to live with the people of the tribe of Ephraim.
Efraim fik ikke Kana'anæerne, som boede i Gezer, drevet bort; men Kana'anæerne blev boende midt iblandt dem i Gezer.
30 [The men of] the tribe of Zebulun did nor compel the people of the Canaan people-group who were living in Kitron and Nahalol [cities] to leave. They stayed there and lived among the people of the tribe of Zebulun, but the people of Zebulun forced them to work for them as their slaves.
Zebulon fik ikke Indbyggerne i Kitron og Nahalol drevet bort; men Kana'anæerne blev boende midt iblandt dem og blev Hoveriarbejdere.
31 [The men of] the tribe of Asher did not force the people of the Canaan people-group who lived in Acco, Sidon, Ahlab, Aczib, Helbah, Aphek and Rehob [cities] to leave.
Aser fik ikke Indbyggerne i Akko drevet bort, ej heller Indbyggerne i Zidon, Mahalab, Akzib, Afik og Rehob.
32 So the people of the tribe of Asher lived among them.
Men Aseriterne bosatte sig midt iblandt Kana'anæerne, der boede i Landet, thi de magtede ikke at drive dem bort.
33 [The men of] the tribe of Naphtali did not compel the people who lived in Beth-Shemesh and Beth-Anath [cities] to leave, so the people in those two cities continued to live there, but the people of the Canaan people-group were forced to work as the slaves of the people of the tribe of Naphtali.
Naftali fik ikke Indbyggerne i Bet Sjemesj og Bet-Anat drevet bort, men bosatte sig midt iblandt Kana'anæerne, der boede i Landet: Men Indbyggerne i Bet Sjemesj og Bet Anat blev deres Hoveriarbejdere.
34 The people of the Amor people-group forced the people of the tribe of Dan to live in the hills. They did not allow them to come down [and live] on the plain.
Amoriterne trængte Daniterne op i Bjergene og lod dem ikke komme ned i Lavlandet;
35 The people of the Amor people-group were determined to stay in Heres Mountain and in Aijalon and Shaalbim [cities]. But when the Israelis became (stronger/more numerous), they forced the people of the Amor people-group to work as their slaves.
og det lykkedes Amoriterne at blive boende i Har-Heres, Ajjalon og Sja'albim. Men senere, da Josefs Hus fik Overtaget, blev de Hoveriarbejdere.
36 The land where the Amor people-group lived extended from Scorpion Pass [toward the west] beyond Sela [town], up into the hilly area.
Edomiternes Landemærke strakte sig fra Akrabbimpasset til Sela og højere op.
