Judges 1
1 After Joshua died, the Israeli people asked Yahweh, “Which [of our tribes] should attack the Canaan people-group first?”
Подир смъртта на Исуса, израилтяните се допитаха до Господа, казвайки: Кой пръв ще възлезе за нас против ханаанците да воюва против тях?
2 Yahweh replied, “I will enable the tribe of Judah to defeat [IDM] the Canaan people-group.”
И Господ каза: Юда ще възлезе, ето, предадох земята в ръката му.
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.
Тогава Юда каза на брата си Симеона: Възлез с мене в моя предел, за да воюваме против ханаанците, и аз ще отида с тебе в твоя предел. И Симеон отиде с него.
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].
Юда, прочее възлезе; и Господ предаде ханаанците и ферезейците в ръката им; и те поразиха от тях в Везек десет хиляди мъже.
5 During the battle they found Adoni-Bezek, the leader of the city,
И намериха Адонивезека във Везек, воюваха против него и поразиха ханаанците и ферезейците.
6 but he [tried to] run away. The Israelis pursued him and caught him. Then they cut off his thumbs and his big toes.
А Адонивезек побягна; но те го погнаха и хванаха го, и отсякоха палците на ръцете му и на нозете му.
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.
И рече Адонивезек: Седемдесет царе с отсечени палци на ръцете и на нозете си са събирали трохи под трапезата ми; както съм аз правил, така ми въздаде Бог. И доведоха го в Ерусалим, гдето и умря.
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.
И юдейците воюваха против Ерусалим, и, като го завлякоха, поразиха го с острото на ножа и предадоха града на огън.
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].
Подир това, юдейците слязоха, за да воюват против ханаанците, които живееха в хълмистата, и в южната и в полската страни.
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.
Юда отиде и против ханаанците, които живееха в Хеврон (а по-напред името на Хеврон беше Кириат-арва), и убиха Сесая, Ахимана и Талмая;
11 Then they left that area and went to fight against the people living in Debir [city], which was previously named Kiriath-Sepher.
и от там отиде против жителите на Девир (а по-напред името на Девир беше Кириат-сефер).
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.”
И рече Халев: Който порази Кириат-сефер и го превземе, нему ще дам дъщеря си Аса за жена.
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.
И превзе го Готониил, син на Кенеза, по-малкия брат на Халева; и той му даде дъщеря си Ахса за жена.
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?”
И като отиваше тя му внуши щото да поиска от баща й нива; и тъй, като слезе от осела, Халев й рече: Що ти е?
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.
А тя му рече: Дай ми благословение; понеже си ми дал южна страна, дай ми и водни извори. И Халев й даде гоните извори и долните извори.
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].
И потомците на кенееца, Моисевия тъст, отидоха от Града на палмите, заедно с юдейците, в Юдовата пустиня, която е на юг от Арад; и отидоха та се заселиха между людете.
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’].
Тогава Юда отиде с братята си Симеона, та поразиха ханаанците, които живееха в Сефат; и обрекоха града на изтребление; и градът се нарече Орма.
18 The men of Judah also captured Gaza, Ashkelon, and Ekron [cities] and all the land that is near those cities.
Юда завладя и Газа с околностите му, Аскалон с околностите му и Акарон с околностите му.
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.
Господ беше с Юда; и той изгони жителите на хълмистата страна, обаче, не изгони жителите и на долината, защото имаха железни колесници.
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.
И дадоха Хеврон на Халева, според както Моисей беше казал; и той изгони от там тримата Енакови синове.
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.
А вениаминците не изгониха евусейците, които населяваха Ерусалим но евусейците живееха в Ерусалим заедно с вениаминците, както живеят и до днес.
22 The men of the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh went to fight against [the men of] Bethel [city], and Yahweh helped them.
Също и Иосифовият дом, и те отидоха против Ветил; и Господ беше с тях.
23 They sent some spies to [find out everything that they could find out about] Bethel, which was previously called Luz.
И Иосифовият дом прати да съгледат Ветил (а по-напред името на града беше Луз).
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].”
И съгледателите видяха един човек, който излизаше из града, и рекоха му: Покажи ни, молим, входа на града, и ще ти покажем милост.
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.
И той им показа входа на града, и те поразиха града с острото на ножа, а човека оставиха да излезе с цялото си семейство.
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.
И човекът отиде в Хетейската земя, гдето и съгради град и нарече го Луз, както е името му и до днес.
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.
Манасия не изгони жителите на Ветсан и селата му, нито на Таанах и селата му, нито жителите на Дор и селата му, нито жителите на Ивреам и селата му, нито жителите на Магедон и селата му; но ханаанците настояваха да живеят в оная земя.
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.
А Израил, когато стана силен наложи на ханаанците данък, без да ги изгони съвсем.
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.
Нито Ефрем изгони ханаанците, които живееха в Гезер; но ханаанците живееха в Гезер помежду им.
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.
Завулон тоже не изгони жителите на Китрон, нито жителите на Наалол; но ханаанците живееха между тях и бяха обложени с данък.
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.
Асир не изгони жителите на Акхо, нито жителите на Сидон, нито на Ахлав, нито на Ахзив, нито на Хелва, нито на Афек, нито на Роов;
32 So the people of the tribe of Asher lived among them.
но асирците обитаваха между ханаанците, местните жители, защото не ги изгониха.
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.
Нефталим не изгони жителите на Ветсемес, нито жителите на Ветенат, но живееше между ханаанците, местните жители; обаче жителите на Ветсемес и на Ветенат му плащаха данък.
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.
И аморейците принудиха данците да се оттеглят в хълмистата страна, защото не ги оставиха да слизат в долината;
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.
но аморейците настояваха да живеят в гората Ерес, в Еалон, и в Саалвим. Но при все това, ръката на Иосифовия дом преодоля, така щото ония бяха обложени с данък.
36 The land where the Amor people-group lived extended from Scorpion Pass [toward the west] beyond Sela [town], up into the hilly area.
А пределите на аморейците беше от нагорнището на Акравим, от скалата и нагоре.
