Judges 1
1 After the death of Joshua, the people of Israel asked Yahweh, saying, “Who first will attack the Canaanites for us, to fight against them?”
Sesudah Yosua meninggal, umat Israel bertanya kepada TUHAN, “Suku mana yang harus maju terlebih dahulu untuk berperang melawan orang Kanaan?”
2 Yahweh said, “Judah will attack. See, I have given them control of this land.”
Jawab TUHAN, “Suku Yehuda yang maju lebih dulu. Aku sudah memberikan negeri itu kepada mereka.”
3 The men of Judah said to men of Simeon, their brothers, “Come up with us into our territory that was assigned to us that together we may fight against the Canaanites. We will likewise go with you to the territory that was assigned to you.” So the tribe of Simeon went with them.
Lalu suku Yehuda berkata kepada suku Simeon, saudara mereka, “Bergabunglah bersama kami untuk memerangi orang Kanaan dan merebut wilayah yang ditentukan untuk kami. Sesudah itu kami juga akan membantu kalian merebut wilayah yang ditentukan bagi kalian.” Maka suku Simeon pun ikut bersama suku Yehuda.
4 The men of Judah attacked, and Yahweh gave them victory over the Canaanites and the Perizzites. They killed ten thousand of them at Bezek.
Mereka maju berperang dan TUHAN membuat mereka menang atas orang Kanaan serta orang Feris. Di kota Bezek mereka membunuh sepuluh ribu orang. Di sana mereka juga menemukan raja Bezek dan menyerang dia.
5 They found Adoni-Bezek at Bezek, and they fought against him and defeated the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
6 But Adoni-Bezek fled, and they pursued him and caught him, and they cut off his thumbs and his big toes.
Saat dia melarikan diri, mereka mengejar dan menangkap dia. Mereka memotong ibu jari dari kedua tangan dan kedua kakinya.
7 Adoni-Bezek said, “Seventy kings, who had their thumbs and their big toes cut off, gathered their food from under my table. As I have done, even so God has done to me.” They brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
Lalu kata raja Bezek itu, “Saya pernah mengalahkan tujuh puluh raja dan memotong ibu jari tangan dan kaki mereka. Lalu seperti anjing mereka terpaksa sisa-sisa makanan yang jatuh dari meja saya. Sekarang Allah membalaskan kepada saya sebagaimana saya memperlakukan raja-raja itu.” Kemudian dia dibawa ke Yerusalem dan mati di sana.
8 The men of Judah fought against the city of Jerusalem and took it. They attacked it with the edge of the sword and they set the city on fire.
Sesudah itu suku Yehuda menyerang kota Yerusalem dan merebutnya. Mereka membantai penduduknya dan membakar kota itu.
9 After that, the men of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites who lived in the hill country, in the Negev, and the western foothills.
Mereka juga menyerang orang-orang Kanaan yang tinggal di daerah perbukitan, di padang belantara Negeb di wilayah selatan, dan di dataran rendah.
10 Judah advanced against the Canaanites who lived in Hebron (the name of Hebron was previously Kiriath Arba), and they defeated Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.
Kemudian mereka mengalahkan dan menghabisi tiga keluarga besar raksasa Kanaan yang tinggal di kota Kiryat Arba, yaitu orang-orang Sesai, Ahiman, dan Talmai. Di kemudian hari, kota itu diberi nama Hebron.
11 From there the men of Judah advanced against the inhabitants of Debir (the name of Debir was previously Kiriath Sepher).
Dari Hebron, mereka pergi menyerang penduduk kota Kiryat Sefer. Di kemudian hari kota itu diberi nama Debir.
12 Caleb said, “Whoever attacks Kiriath Sepher and takes it, I will give him Aksah, my daughter, to be his wife.”
Pada waktu itu Kaleb berkata, “Kepada siapa pun yang menyerang kota Kiryat Sefer dan berhasil merebutnya, aku akan memberikan Aksa, anak perempuanku, menjadi istrinya.”
13 Othniel, son of Kenaz (Caleb's younger brother) captured Debir, so Caleb gave him Aksah, his daughter, to be his wife.
Lalu Otniel, anak Kenas saudara Kaleb, berhasil merebut kota itu. Maka Kaleb memberikan Aksa kepada Otniel untuk menjadi istrinya.
14 Soon Aksah came to Othniel, and she urged him to ask her father to give her a field. As she was getting off her donkey, Caleb asked her, “What can I do for you?”
Ketika mereka menikah, Aksa membujuk Otniel untuk meminta ladang dari Kaleb, ayahnya. Tetapi ketika Aksa sedang menunggangi keledai, dia bertemu dengan Kaleb. Aksa turun dari keledainya dan Kaleb bertanya, “Apa yang kamu inginkan?”
15 She said to him, “Give me a blessing. Since you have given me the land of the Negev, also give me springs of water.” So Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
Jawab Aksa, “Aku punya permintaan khusus. Ayah sudah memberiku tanah kering di padang belantara Negeb di selatan. Karena itu, mohon berikanlah juga kepadaku mata air.” Maka Kaleb memberikan dua mata air kepadanya, satu di dataran tinggi dan satu di dataran rendah.
16 The descendants of Moses' father-in-law the Kenite went up from the City of Palms with the people of Judah, into the wilderness of Judah, which is in the Negev, to live with the people of Judah near Arad.
Waktu suku Yehuda meninggalkan kota Yeriko (yang juga disebut kota Pohon Kurma), orang-orang Keni— yaitu keturunan dari mertua Musa— ikut bersama mereka menuju ke padang belantara di bagian selatan wilayah Yehuda. Orang-orang Keni itu menetap di antara suku Yehuda di dekat kota Arad, di Negeb.
17 The men of Judah went with the men of Simeon their brothers and they attacked the Canaanites who inhabited Zephath and they completely destroyed it. The name of the city was called Hormah.
Kemudian suku Yehuda bergabung dengan suku Simeon untuk menumpas orang-orang Kanaan yang tinggal di kota Zefat. Mereka membinasakan seluruh kota itu sehingga kota itu dinamai Horma, yang artinya ‘musnah’.
18 The people of Judah also captured Gaza and the land around it, Ashkelon and the land around it, and Ekron and the land around it.
TUHAN menyertai suku Yehuda sehingga mereka berhasil merebut kota Gaza, Askelon, dan Ekron, serta daerah-daerah di sekitarnya. Yehuda juga berhasil menguasai daerah perbukitan, tetapi mereka tidak dapat mengusir penghuni daerah lembah karena penduduk di sana memiliki kereta-kereta perang dari besi.
19 Yahweh was with the people of Judah and they took possession of the hill country, but they could not drive out the inhabitants of the plains because they had iron chariots.
20 Hebron was given to Caleb (like Moses had said), and he drove out from there the three sons of Anak.
Kota Hebron diberikan kepada Kaleb, sesuai janji Musa. Dan Kaleb mengusir tiga keluarga besar raksasa keturunan Anakim dari sana.
21 But the people of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who inhabited Jerusalem. So the Jebusites have lived with the people of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.
Akan tetapi, suku Benyamin tidak mengusir orang Yebus yang tinggal di Yerusalem. Karena itu, orang Yebus masih tinggal di sana bersama suku Benyamin sampai kitab ini ditulis.
22 The house of Joseph prepared to attack Bethel, and Yahweh was with them.
Kedua suku keturunan Yusuf (yaitu Efraim dan Manasye) menyerang kota Betel (yang sejak zaman dahulu disebut Lus). TUHAN menyertai mereka. Sebelum menyerang, mereka mengutus beberapa orang untuk mengintai kota itu.
23 They sent out men to spy on Bethel (the city that was formerly called Luz).
24 The spies saw a man coming out of the city, and they said to him, “Show us, please, how to get into the city, and we will be kind to you.”
Ketika para pengintai melihat seorang laki-laki keluar dari kota itu, mereka berkata kepadanya, “Kalau kamu menunjukkan pintu rahasia untuk masuk ke kota ini, kami akan berbaik hati dan tidak membunuhmu.”
25 He showed them a way into the city, and so they attacked the city with the edge of the sword, but they let the man and all his family get away.
Maka laki-laki itu menunjukkan pintu rahasia kota Betel kepada mereka. Lalu Suku Efraim dan suku Manasye menyerang Betel dan membunuh semua penduduk di sana, kecuali laki-laki itu dan seluruh keluarganya.
26 Then the man went to the land of the Hittites and built a city and called it Luz, which is its name to this day.
Laki-laki itu pergi ke negeri orang Het. Di sana dia membangun sebuah kota dan menamainya Lus. Itulah nama kota itu sampai saat kitab ini ditulis.
27 The people of Manasseh did not drive out the people living in the cities of Beth Shan and its villages, or Taanach and its villages, or those who lived in Dor and its villages, or those who lived in Ibleam and its villages, or those who lived in Megiddo and its villages, because the Canaanites were determined to live in that land.
Suku Manasye tidak mengusir orang-orang Kanaan yang tinggal di kota Bet Sean, Taanak, Dor, Yibleam, dan Megido serta desa-desa di sekitar kota-kota itu, karena orang-orang Kanaan itu bersikeras untuk tetap tinggal di sana.
28 When Israel became strong, they forced the Canaanites to serve them with hard labor, but they never drove them out completely.
Ketika bangsa Israel menjadi lebih kuat, mereka memperbudak orang-orang Kanaan itu, tetapi tidak pernah mengusir mereka sepenuhnya.
29 Ephraim did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, so the Canaanites continued to live in Gezer among them.
Suku Efraim juga tidak mengusir orang-orang Kanaan yang tinggal di kota Gezer. Jadi, orang-orang Kanaan itu tetap tinggal di antara suku Efraim.
30 Zebulun did not drive out the people living in Kitron, or the people living in Nahalol, and so the Canaanites continued to live among them, but Zebulun forced the Canaanites to serve them with hard labor.
Suku Zebulon tidak mengusir orang-orang Kanaan yang tinggal di kota Kitron dan Nahalol. Jadi, orang-orang Kanaan itu tetap tinggal di antara suku Zebulon, walaupun sebagai budak mereka.
31 Asher did not drive out the people living in Akko, or the people living in Sidon, or those living in Ahlab, Akzib, Helbah, Aphek, or Rehob.
Suku Asyer juga tidak mengusir orang-orang Kanaan yang tinggal di kota Ako, Sidon, Ahlab, Aksib, Helba, Afek, dan Rehob.
32 So the tribe of Asher lived among the Canaanites (those who lived in the land), because they did not drive them out.
Jadi, mereka hidup di antara orang-orang Kanaan itu.
33 The tribe of Naphtali did not drive out those who were living in Beth Shemesh, or those living in Beth Anath. So the tribe of Naphtali lived among the Canaanites (the people who were living in that land). However, the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh and Beth Anath were forced into hard labor for Naphthali.
Suku Naftali tidak mengusir orang-orang Kanaan yang tinggal di kota Bet Semes dan kota Bet Anat. Jadi, suku Naftali tinggal di antara penduduk asli daerah itu, dan akhirnya memperbudak mereka.
34 The Amorites forced the tribe of Dan to live in the hill country, not allowing them to come down to the plain.
Suku Dan didesak orang Amori mundur ke daerah perbukitan. Orang Amori tidak membiarkan mereka turun ke daerah dataran rendah.
35 So the Amorites lived at Mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim, but the military might of the house of Joseph conquered them, and they were forced to serve them with hard labor.
Orang Amori yang tinggal di gunung Heres, kota Ayalon, dan kota Saalbim bersikeras untuk tetap tinggal di sana. Di kemudian hari, suku Efraim dan Manasye bertambah kuat dan memperbudak orang Amori itu.
36 The border of the Amorites ran from the hill of Akrabbim at Sela up into the hill country.
Sedangkan di selatan, wilayah bangsa Amori dahulu dimulai dari Sela di timur, melalui Jalur Pendakian Kalajengking, dan terus mendaki ke barat sampai daerah perbukitan.
