Judges 1
1 After Joshua died, the Israeli people asked Yahweh, “Which [of our tribes] should attack the Canaan people-group first?”
Και μετά τον θάνατον του Ιησού, ηρώτησαν οι υιοί Ισραήλ τον Κύριον, λέγοντες, Τις θέλει αναβή υπέρ ημών πρώτος κατά των Χαναναίων, διά να πολεμήση αυτούς;
2 Yahweh replied, “I will enable the tribe of Judah to defeat [IDM] the Canaan people-group.”
Και είπεν ο Κύριος, Ο Ιούδας θέλει αναβή· ιδού, παρέδωκα τον τόπον εις την χείρα αυτού.
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.
Και είπεν ο Ιούδας προς Συμεών τον αδελφόν αυτού, Ανάβα μετ' εμού εις τον κλήρόν μου, διά να πολεμήσωμεν τους Χαναναίους, και εγώ ομοίως θέλω ελθεί μετά σου εις τον κλήρόν σου. Και υπήγε μετ' αυτού ο Συμεών.
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].
Και ο Ιούδας ανέβη· και παρέδωκεν ο Κύριος τους Χαναναίους και τους Φερεζαίους εις την χείρα αυτών· και επάταξαν εξ αυτών εν Βεζέκ δέκα χιλιάδας ανδρών.
5 During the battle they found Adoni-Bezek, the leader of the city,
Και εύρηκαν τον Αδωνί-Βεζέκ εν Βεζέκ, και επολέμησαν αυτόν και επάταξαν τους Χαναναίους και τους Φερεζαίους.
6 but he [tried to] run away. The Israelis pursued him and caught him. Then they cut off his thumbs and his big toes.
Ο δε Αδωνί-Βεζέκ έφυγε· και εκείνοι κατεδίωξαν οπίσω αυτού και συνέλαβον αυτόν και απέκοψαν τους μεγάλους δακτύλους των χειρών αυτού και των ποδών αυτού.
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.
Και είπεν ο Αδωνί-Βεζέκ, Εβδομήκοντα βασιλείς, αποκεκομμένοι τους μεγάλους δακτύλους των χειρών αυτών και των ποδών, εσύναζον τα πίπτοντα υποκάτω της τραπέζης μου· ως εγώ έκαμα, ούτως ανταπέδωκεν εις εμέ ο Θεός. Και έφεραν αυτόν εις Ιερουσαλήμ, και απέθανεν εκεί.
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.
Και οι υιοί Ιούδα επολέμησαν κατά της Ιερουσαλήμ και εκυρίευσαν αυτήν· και επάταξαν αυτήν εν στόματι μαχαίρας και την πόλιν παρέδωκαν εις πυρ.
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].
Και μετά ταύτα κατέβησαν οι υιοί Ιούδα διά να πολεμήσωσι τους Χαναναίους, τους κατοικούντας εν τη ορεινή και εν τη μεσημβρινή και εν τη πεδινή.
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.
Και υπήγεν ο Ιούδας εναντίον των Χαναναίων των κατοικούντων εν Χεβρών· το δε όνομα της Χεβρών ήτο πρότερον Κιριάθ-αρβά· και εθανάτωσαν τον Σεσαΐ, και τον Αχιμάν και τον Θαλμαΐ.
11 Then they left that area and went to fight against the people living in Debir [city], which was previously named Kiriath-Sepher.
Και εκείθεν υπήγον εναντίον των κατοίκων της Δεβείρ· το δε όνομα της Δεβείρ ήτο πρότερον Κιριάθ-σεφέρ.
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.”
Και είπεν ο Χάλεβ, Όστις πατάξη την Κιριάθ-σεφέρ και κυριεύση αυτήν, εις τούτον θέλω δώσει Αχσάν την θυγατέρα μου εις γυναίκα.
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.
Και εκυρίευσεν αυτήν Γοθονιήλ ο υιός του Κενέζ, ο νεώτερος αδελφός του Χάλεβ· και έδωκεν εις αυτόν Αχσάν την θυγατέρα αυτού εις γυναίκα.
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?”
Και αυτή, ότε απήρχετο, παρεκίνησεν αυτόν να ζητήση παρά του πατρός αυτής τον αγρόν· και κατέβη από του όνου· και είπε προς αυτήν ο Χάλεβ, τι θέλεις;
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.
Η δε είπε προς αυτόν, Δος μοι ευλογίαν· επειδή έδωκας εις εμέ γην μεσημβρινήν, δος μοι και πηγάς υδάτων. Και έδωκεν εις αυτήν ο Χάλεβ τας άνω πηγάς και τας κάτω πηγάς.
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].
Και ανέβησαν οι υιοί του Κεναίου, πενθερού του Μωϋσέως, εκ της πόλεως των φοινίκων μετά των υιών Ιούδα εις την έρημον του Ιούδα, την προς μεσημβρίαν της Αράδ· και υπήγον και κατώκησαν μετά του λαού.
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’].
Και υπήγεν ο Ιούδας μετά του Συμεών αδελφού αυτού, και επάταξαν τους Χαναναίους τους κατοικούντας την Σεφάθ, και κατέστρεψαν αυτήν· και ωνόμασαν την πόλιν Ορμά.
18 The men of Judah also captured Gaza, Ashkelon, and Ekron [cities] and all the land that is near those cities.
Ο Ιούδας εκυρίευσε και την Γάζαν και τα όρια αυτής, και την Ασκαλώνα και τα όρια αυτής, και την Ακκαρών και τα όρια αυτής.
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.
Και ήτο Κύριος μετά του Ιούδα· και εκυρίευσε το όρος· αλλά δεν ηδυνήθη να εκδιώξη τους κατοίκους της κοιλάδος, διότι είχον αμάξας σιδηράς.
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.
Και εδόθη η Χεβρών εις τον Χάλεβ, καθώς είπεν ο Μωϋσής· και εξεδίωξεν εκείθεν τους τρεις υιούς του Ανάκ.
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.
Τον δε Ιεβουσαίον, τον κατοικούντα εν Ιερουσαλήμ, δεν εξεδίωξαν οι υιοί Βενιαμίν· διά τούτο ο Ιεβουσαίος κατώκησε μετά των υιών Βενιαμίν εν Ιερουσαλήμ έως της ημέρας ταύτης.
22 The men of the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh went to fight against [the men of] Bethel [city], and Yahweh helped them.
Και ο οίκος Ιωσήφ ανέβησαν και αυτοί επί Βαιθήλ· και ο Κύριος ήτο μετ' αυτών.
23 They sent some spies to [find out everything that they could find out about] Bethel, which was previously called Luz.
Και απέστειλεν ο οίκος Ιωσήφ να κατασκοπεύσωσι την Βαιθήλ· το δε όνομα της πόλεως ήτο πρότερον Λούζ.
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].”
Και είδον οι κατάσκοποι άνθρωπον εξερχόμενον εκ της πόλεως, και είπον προς αυτόν, Δείξον εις ημάς, παρακαλούμεν, την είσοδον της πόλεως, και θέλομεν κάμει έλεος εις σε.
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.
Και έδειξεν εις αυτούς την είσοδον της πόλεως, και επάταξαν την πόλιν εν στόματι μαχαίρας· τον δε άνθρωπον και πάσαν την συγγένειαν αυτού απέπεμψαν.
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.
Και υπήγεν ο άνθρωπος εις την γην των Χετταίων και ωκοδόμησε πόλιν, και ωνόμασεν αυτήν Λούζ· τούτο είναι το όνομα αυτής έως ημέρας ταύτης.
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.
Ουδέ ο Μανασσής εξεδίωξε τους κατοίκους της Βαιθ-σαν και των κωμών αυτής, ούτε της Θαανάχ και των κωμών αυτής, ούτε τους κατοίκους της Δωρ και των κωμών αυτής, ούτε τους κατοίκους της Ιβλεάμ και των κωμών αυτής, ούτε τους κατοίκους της Μεγιδδώ και των κωμών αυτής· αλλ' οι Χαναναίοι επέμενον να κατοικώσιν εν τω τόπω εκείνω.
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.
Και ότε κατεστάθη ο Ισραήλ δυνατός, υπέβαλε τους Χαναναίους εις φόρον και δεν εξεδίωξεν αυτούς ολοκλήρως.
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.
Ουδέ ο Εφραΐμ εξεδίωξε τους Χαναναίους τους κατοικούντας εν Γεζέρ· αλλ' οι Χαναναίοι κατώκουν εν Γεζέρ μεταξύ αυτών.
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.
Ουδέ ο Ζαβουλών εξεδίωξε τους κατοικούντας την Κιτρών ουδέ τους κατοικούντας την Νααλώλ· αλλ' οι Χαναναίοι κατώκουν μεταξύ αυτών και έγειναν υποτελείς.
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.
Ουδέ ο Ασήρ εξεδίωξε τους κατοίκους της Ακχώ, ούτε τους κατοίκους της Σιδώνος, ούτε της Ααλάβ, ούτε της Αχζίβ, ούτε της Χελβά, ούτε της Αφίκ, ούτε της Ρεώβ·
32 So the people of the tribe of Asher lived among them.
αλλ' ο Ασήρ κατώκει μεταξύ των Χαναναίων των κατοίκων του τόπου· διότι δεν εξεδίωξεν αυτούς.
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.
Ουδέ ο Νεφθαλί εξεδίωξε τους κατοίκους της Βαιθ-σεμές, ούτε τους κατοίκους της Βαιθ-ανάθ, αλλά κατώκει μεταξύ των Χαναναίων των κατοίκων του τόπου· οι δε κάτοικοι της Βαιθ-σεμές και της Βαιθ-ανάθ έγειναν υποτελείς εις αυτόν.
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.
Και συνέκλεισαν οι Αμορραίοι τους υιούς Δαν εις το όρος· διότι δεν άφινον αυτούς να καταβαίνωσιν εις την κοιλάδα·
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.
οι δε Αμορραίοι επέμενον να κατοικώσιν εν τω όρει Ερές, εις Αιαλών και εις Σααλβίμ· η χειρ όμως του οίκου Ιωσήφ υπερίσχυσεν, ώστε έγειναν υποτελείς.
36 The land where the Amor people-group lived extended from Scorpion Pass [toward the west] beyond Sela [town], up into the hilly area.
Το δε όριον την Αμορραίων ήτο από της αναβάσεως της Ακραββίμ, από της Πέτρας και επάνω.
