< Judges 1 >

1 After Joshua died, the Israeli people asked Yahweh, “Which [of our tribes] should attack the Canaan people-group first?”
Volt Józsua halála után, megkérdezték Izraél fiai az Örökkévalót, mondván: Ki vonuljon közülünk először a kanaáni ellen, hogy harczoljon vele?
2 Yahweh replied, “I will enable the tribe of Judah to defeat [IDM] the Canaan people-group.”
Mondta az Örökkévaló: Jehúda vonuljon; íme kezébe adtam az országot.
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.
S mondta Jehúda Simeónnak, az ő testvérének: Vonulj velem sorsomba, hadd harczoljunk a kanaánival, akkor megyek majd én is te veled sorsodba. És ment vele Simeón.
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].
Fölvonult Jehúda, és kezükbe adta az Örökkévaló a kanaánit és a perizzit; és megverték őket Bézekben – tízezer embert.
5 During the battle they found Adoni-Bezek, the leader of the city,
Ott találták Adóni-Bézeket Bézekben és harczoltak ellene; és megverték a kanaánit és a perizzit.
6 but he [tried to] run away. The Israelis pursued him and caught him. Then they cut off his thumbs and his big toes.
És megfutamodott Adóni-Bézek, és üldözték őt; megfogták őt és levágták kezeinek és lábainak hüvelykujjait.
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.
Akkor mondta Adóni-Bézek: Hetven király – kezük és lábuk hüvelykujja levágva – szedegettek asztalom alatt; a hogy én tettem, úgy fizetett nekem Isten. És bevitték őt Jeruzsálembe, és meghalt ott.
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.
Akkor harczoltak Jehúda fiai Jeruzsálem ellen, bevették azt és megverték a kard élével; a várost pedig tűzbe borították.
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].
Azután lementek Jehúda fiai harczolni a kanaánival a hegység, a Délvidék és az alföld lakójával.
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.
Ment Jehúda a kánaáni ellen, ki Chebrónban lakott – Chebrón neve pedig azelőtt Kirjat-Arbá volt – és megverték Sésájt, Achímánt és Talmájt.
11 Then they left that area and went to fight against the people living in Debir [city], which was previously named Kiriath-Sepher.
Onnan ment Debír lakói ellen; Debír neve pedig azelőtt Kirját-Széfer volt.
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.”
És mondta Káléb: A ki megveri Kirját-Széfert és beveszi, annak oda adom leányomat, Akhszát, nőül.
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.
És bevette Otniél, Kenáz fia, Káléb fiatalabb testvére; és oda adta neki leányát, Akhszát, nőül.
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?”
S történt, mikor odajött, rábeszélte, hogy kérjen atyjától mezőt; és lesiklott a szamárról. És mondta neki Káléb: Mi lelt?
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.
Mondta neki: Adj nekem áldást, mert a délvidéki földre adtál engem, adjál hát nekem vízkútfőket. Erre adta neki Káléb a felső kútfőket és az alsó kútfőket.
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].
A kénitának, Mózes ipjának fiai pedig fölmentek a pálmák városából Jehúda fiaival együtt Jehúda pusztájába, mely Arádtól délre van; mentek és maradtak a néppel.
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’].
S ment Jehúda Simeónnal, az ő testvérével, és megverték a kanaánit, Czefát lakóját, elpusztították és elnevezték a várost Chormának.
18 The men of Judah also captured Gaza, Ashkelon, and Ekron [cities] and all the land that is near those cities.
És bevette Jehúda Azzát és határát, Askelónt és határát, meg Ekrónt és határát.
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.
És volt az Örökkévaló Jehúdával, és elfoglalta a hegységet, mert nem bírta kiűzni a völgy lakóit, mert vasszekerük volt nekik.
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.
És adták Kálébnek Chebrónt, a mint mondta volt Mózes; és kiűzte onnan Anák három fiát.
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.
A jebúszit pedig, Jeruzsálem lakóját, nem űzték ki Benjámin fiai; így maradt a jebúszi Benjámin fiaival Jeruzsálemben mind e mai napig.
22 The men of the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh went to fight against [the men of] Bethel [city], and Yahweh helped them.
Vonultak a József házabeliek, ők is, Bét-Élbe és az Örökkévaló velük volt.
23 They sent some spies to [find out everything that they could find out about] Bethel, which was previously called Luz.
Kikémleltették a József házabeliek Bét-Élt; a városnak neve pedig azelőtt Lúz volt.
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].”
És láttak az őrök egy embert kijönni a városból, és mondták neki: Mutasd meg nekünk, kérlek, a város bejáratát és mi majd szeretetet cselekszünk veled.
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.
Megmutatta nekik a város bejáratát, és megverték a várost a kard élével; az embert pedig és egész családját elbocsátották.
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.
S elment az ember a chittiták földjére, épített várost és elnevezte Lúznak; ez a neve mind e mai napig.
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.
Nem űzte ki Menasse Bét-Seánt és leányvárosait, Táanákhot és leányvárosait, meg Dór lakóit és leányvárosait, Jibleám lakóit és leányvárosait, sem Meggidó lakóit és leányvárosait; és belenyugodott a kanaáni, hogy maradjon ebben az országban.
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.
Történt pedig, mikor megerősödött Izraél, alattvalóvá tette a kanaánit, de kiűzni nem űzte ki.
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 nem űzte ki a kanaánit, ki Gézerben lakott; így maradt közte a kanaáni Gézerben.
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.
Zebúlún nem űzte ki Kitrón lakóit, sem Náhalól lakóit; így maradt közte a kanaáni, és alattvalókká lettek.
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.
Ásér nem űzte ki Akkó lakóit, sem Czídón lakóit, meg Achlábot, Akhzíbot, Chelbát, Afíkot és Rechóbot.
32 So the people of the tribe of Asher lived among them.
Így lakott az Áséri a kanaáni, az ország lakói között, mert nem űzte ki.
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.
Naftáli nem űzte ki Bét-Sémes lakóit, sem Bét-Anát lakóit, és így lakott ő a kanaáni, az ország lakói közt; Bét-Sémes és Bét-Anát lakói pedig lettek nekik alattvalóikká.
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.
És szorította az emóri Dán fiait a hegységbe, mert nem engedte leszállni a völgybe.
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.
S belenyugodott az emóri, hogy lakjon Chéresz hegyén, Ajjálónban és Sáalebímban; de nehéz lett József házának keze, és alattvalókká lettek.
36 The land where the Amor people-group lived extended from Scorpion Pass [toward the west] beyond Sela [town], up into the hilly area.
Az emóri határa pedig Akrabbím hágójától, a Sziklán felül.
