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 mati, orang Israel bertanya kepada TUHAN: "Siapakah dari pada kami yang harus lebih dahulu maju menghadapi orang Kanaan untuk berperang melawan mereka?"

2 Yahweh said, “Judah will attack. See, I have given them control of this land.”

Firman TUHAN: "Suku Yehudalah yang harus maju; sesungguhnya telah Kuserahkan negeri itu ke dalam tangannya."

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 berkatalah Yehuda kepada Simeon, saudaranya itu: "Majulah bersama-sama dengan aku ke bagian yang telah diundikan kepadaku dan baiklah kita berperang melawan orang Kanaan, maka akupun akan maju bersama-sama dengan engkau ke bagian yang telah diundikan kepadamu." Lalu Simeon maju bersama-sama dengan dia.

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.

Maka majulah suku Yehuda, lalu TUHAN menyerahkan orang Kanaan dan orang Feris ke dalam tangan mereka, dan mereka memukul kalah orang-orang itu dekat Bezek, sepuluh ribu orang banyaknya.

5 They found Adoni-Bezek at Bezek, and they fought against him and defeated the Canaanites and the Perizzites.

Di Bezek mereka menjumpai Adoni-Bezek dan berperang melawan dia, dan mereka memukul kalah orang Kanaan dan orang Feris.

6 But Adoni-Bezek fled, and they pursued him and caught him, and they cut off his thumbs and his big toes.

Tetapi Adoni-Bezek melarikan diri, lalu mereka mengejarnya, menangkapnya dan memotong ibu jari dari tangannya dan dari 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.

Kata Adoni-Bezek: "Ada tujuh puluh raja dengan terpotong ibu jari tangan dan kakinya memungut sisa-sisa makanan di bawah mejaku; sesuai dengan yang kulakukan itu, demikianlah dibalaskan Allah kepadaku." Kemudian ia 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 bani Yehuda berperang melawan Yerusalem, merebutnya lalu memukulnya dengan mata pedang dan memusnahkan kota itu dengan api.

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.

Kemudian bani Yehuda maju berperang melawan orang Kanaan, yang diam di pegunungan, di Tanah Negeb dan di Daerah Bukit.

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.

Lalu suku Yehuda bergerak menyerang orang Kanaan yang diam di Hebron--nama Hebron dahulu adalah Kiryat-Arba--dan memukul kalah Sesai, Ahiman dan Talmai.

11 From there the men of Judah advanced against the inhabitants of Debir (the name of Debir was previously Kiriath Sepher).

Dari sana mereka bergerak menyerang penduduk Debir. Nama Debir dahulu adalah Kiryat-Sefer.

12 Caleb said, “Whoever attacks Kiriath Sepher and takes it, I will give him Aksah, my daughter, to be his wife.”

Berkatalah Kaleb: "Siapa yang mengalahkan dan merebut Kiryat-Sefer, kepadanya akan kuberikan Akhsa, anakku, menjadi isterinya."

13 Othniel, son of Kenaz (Caleb's younger brother) captured Debir, so Caleb gave him Aksah, his daughter, to be his wife.

Dan Otniel, anak Kenas adik Kaleb, merebut kota itu; lalu Kaleb memberikan Akhsa, anaknya, kepadanya menjadi isterinya.

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 perempuan itu tiba, dibujuknya suaminya untuk meminta sebidang ladang kepada ayahnya. Maka turunlah perempuan itu dari keledainya, lalu berkatalah Kaleb kepadanya: "Ada apa?"

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.

Jawabnya kepadanya: "Berikanlah kepadaku suatu hadiah; telah kauberikan kepadaku tanah yang gersang, berikanlah juga kepadaku mata air." Lalu Kaleb memberikan kepadanya mata air yang di hulu dan mata air yang di hilir.

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.

Keturunan Hobab, ipar Musa, orang Keni itu, maju bersama-sama dengan bani Yehuda dari kota pohon korma ke padang gurun Yehuda di Tanah Negeb dekat Arad; lalu mereka menetap di antara penduduk di sana.

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.

Yehuda maju bersama-sama dengan Simeon, saudaranya itu, lalu mereka memukul kalah orang Kanaan, penduduk Zefat; mereka menumpas kota itu. Sebab itu kota itu dinamai Horma.

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.

Selanjutnya suku Yehuda merebut Gaza dengan daerahnya, Askelon dengan daerahnya dan Ekron dengan daerahnya.

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.

Dan TUHAN menyertai suku Yehuda, sehingga mereka menduduki pegunungan itu; tetapi mereka tidak dapat menghalau penduduk yang di lembah, sebab orang-orang ini mempunyai kereta-kereta besi.

20 Hebron was given to Caleb (like Moses had said), and he drove out from there the three sons of Anak.

Kepada Kaleb telah diberikan Hebron, seperti yang dikatakan Musa dahulu, dan dari sana telah dihalaukannya anak Enak yang tiga itu.

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.

Tetapi orang Yebus, penduduk kota Yerusalem, tidak dihalau oleh bani Benyamin, jadi orang Yebus itu masih diam bersama-sama dengan bani Benyamin di Yerusalem sampai sekarang.

22 The house of Joseph prepared to attack Bethel, and Yahweh was with them.

Keturunan Yusuf juga maju menyerang Betel, dan TUHAN menyertai mereka.

23 They sent out men to spy on Bethel (the city that was formerly called Luz).

Keturunan Yusuf menyuruh orang mengintai Betel itu--nama kota itu dahulu adalah Lus.

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 pengintai-pengintai itu melihat seorang keluar dari kota itu, maka berkatalah mereka kepadanya: "Tolong tunjukkan bagaimana kami dapat memasuki kota ini, maka kami akan memperlakukan engkau sebagai sahabat."

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.

Lalu ditunjukkannyalah kepada mereka bagaimana mereka dapat memasuki kota itu, dan mereka memukul kota itu dengan mata pedang, tetapi orang itu dengan seluruh kaumnya dibiarkan mereka pergi.

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.

Orang itu pergi ke negeri orang Het dan mendirikan di sana sebuah kota yang dinamainya Lus. Demikianlah nama kota itu sampai sekarang.

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 menghalau penduduk Bet-Sean dan penduduk segala anak kotanya, penduduk Taanakh dengan segala anak kotanya, penduduk Dor dengan segala anak kotanya, penduduk Yibleam dengan segala anak kotanya, dan penduduk Megido dengan segala anak kotanya, sebab orang Kanaan itu berkeras untuk tetap diam di negeri itu.

28 When Israel became strong, they forced the Canaanites to serve them with hard labor, but they never drove them out completely.

Setelah orang Israel menjadi kuat, mereka membuat orang Kanaan itu menjadi orang rodi dan tidak menghalau mereka sama sekali.

29 Ephraim did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, so the Canaanites continued to live in Gezer among them.

Suku Efraimpun tidak menghalau orang Kanaan yang diam di Gezer, sehingga orang Kanaan itu tetap diam di tengah-tengah mereka di Gezer.

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 menghalau penduduk Kitron dan penduduk Nahalol, sehingga orang Kanaan itu tetap diam di tengah-tengah mereka, walaupun sebagai orang rodi.

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 tidak menghalau penduduk Ako, penduduk Sidon serta Ahlab, Akhzib, 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.

sehingga orang Asyer itu diam di tengah-tengah orang Kanaan, penduduk asli di negeri itu, sebab orang-orang itu tidak dihalaunya.

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 menghalau penduduk Bet-Semes dan penduduk Bet-Anat, sehingga mereka diam di tengah-tengah orang Kanaan, penduduk asli di negeri itu; tetapi penduduk Bet-Semes dan Bet-Anat itu menjadi orang rodi bagi mereka.

34 The Amorites forced the tribe of Dan to live in the hill country, not allowing them to come down to the plain.

Orang Amori mendesak bani Dan ke sebelah pegunungan dan tidak membiarkan mereka turun ke lembah,

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.

dan orang Amori itu berkeras untuk tetap diam di Har-Heres, di Ayalon dan di Saalbim, walaupun mereka mendapat tekanan berat dari keturunan Yusuf, sebab mereka menjadi orang rodi.

36 The border of the Amorites ran from the hill of Akrabbim at Sela up into the hill country.

Daerah orang Amori itu mulai dari pendakian Akrabim, dari Sela, terus ke atas.
