< Judges 1 >

1 Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass, that the children of Israel asked the LORD, saying, Who shall go up for us against the Canaanites first to fight against them?
Post mortem Iosue consuluerunt filii Israel Dominum, dicentes: Quis ascendet ante nos contra Chananaeum, et erit dux belli?
2 And the LORD said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.
Dixitque Dominus: Iudas ascendet: ecce tradidi Terram in manus eius.
3 And Judah said to Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with thee into thy lot. So Simeon went with him.
Et ait Iudas Simeoni fratri suo: Ascende mecum in sortem meam, et pugna contra Chananaeum, ut et ego pergam tecum in sortem tuam. Et abiit cum eo Simeon.
4 And Judah went up, and the LORD delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand: and they slew of them in Bezek ten thousand men.
Ascenditque Iudas, et tradidit Dominus Chananaeum, ac Pherezaeum in manus eorum: et percusserunt in Bezec decem millia virorum.
5 And they found Adoni-bezek in Bezek: and they fought against him, and they slew the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
Inveneruntque Adonibezec in Bezec, et pugnaverunt contra eum, ac percusserunt Chananaeum, et Pherezaeum.
6 But Adoni-bezek fled; and they pursued him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.
Fugit autem Adonibezec: quem persecuti comprehenderunt, caesis summitatibus manuum eius ac pedum.
7 And Adoni-bezek said, seventy kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered [their food] under my table; as I have done, so God hath requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died.
Dixitque Adonibezec: Septuaginta reges amputatis manuum ac pedum summitatibus colligebant sub mensa mea ciborum reliquias: sicut feci, ita reddidit mihi Deus. Adduxeruntque eum in Ierusalem, et ibi mortuus est.
8 (Now the children of Judah had fought against Jerusalem, and had taken it, and smitten it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.)
Oppugnantes ergo filii Iuda Ierusalem, ceperunt eam, et percusserunt in ore gladii, tradentes cunctam incendio civitatem.
9 And afterward the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites that dwelt on the mountain, and in the south, and in the valley.
Et postea descendentes pugnaverunt contra Chananaeum, qui habitabat in montanis, et ad meridiem, in campestribus.
10 And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron: (now the name of Hebron before [was] Kirjath-arba: ) and they slew Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.
Pergensque Iudas contra Chananaeum, qui habitabat in Hebron, (cuius nomen fuit antiquitus Cariatharbe) percussit Sesai, et Ahiman, et Tholmai:
11 And from thence he went against the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before [was] Kirjath-sepher:
atque inde profectus abiit ad habitatores Dabir, cuius nomen vetus erat Cariath Sepher, id est, civitas litterarum.
12 And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjath-sepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter for a wife.
Dixitque Caleb: Qui percusserit Cariath Sepher, et vastaverit eam, dabo ei Axam filiam meam uxorem.
13 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter for a wife.
Cumque cepisset eam Othoniel filius Cenez frater Caleb minor, dedit ei Axam filiam suam coniugem.
14 And it came to pass, when she came [to him], that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she lighted from off [her] ass; and Caleb said to her, What wilt thou?
Quam pergentem in itinere monuit vir suus ut peteret a patre suo agrum. Quae cum suspirasset sedens in asino, dixit ei Caleb: Quid habes?
15 And she said to him, Give me a blessing: for thou hast given me a south land; give me also springs of water. And Caleb gave her the upper springs, and the nether springs.
At illa respondit: Da mihi benedictionem, quia terram arentem dedisti mihi: da et irriguam aquis. Dedit ergo ei Caleb irriguum superius, et irriguum inferius.
16 And the children of the Kenite, Moses's father-in-law, went up out of the city of palm-trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which [lieth] in the south of Arad; and they went and dwelt among the people.
Filii autem Cinaei cognati Moysi ascenderunt de civitate palmarum, cum filiis Iuda in desertum sortis eius, quod est ad meridiem Arad, et habitaverunt cum eo.
17 And Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they slew the Canaanites that inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. And the name of the city was called Hormah.
Abiit autem Iudas cum Simeone fratre suo, et percusserunt simul Chananaeum qui habitabat in Sephaath, et interfecerunt eum. Vocatumque est nomen urbis, Horma, id est, anathema.
18 Also Judah took Gaza with its border, and Askelon with its border, and Ekron with its border.
Cepitque Iudas Gazam cum finibus suis, et Ascalonem, atque Accaron cum terminis suis.
19 And the LORD was with Judah; and he drove out [the inhabitants of] the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.
Fuitque Dominus cum Iuda, et montana possedit: nec potuit delere habitatores vallis, quia falcatis curribus abundabant.
20 And they gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses said: and he expelled thence the three sons of Anak.
Dederuntque Caleb Hebron, sicut dixerat Moyses, qui delevit ex ea tres filios Enac.
21 And the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites that inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.
Iebusaeum autem habitatorem Ierusalem non deleverunt filii Beniamin: habitavitque Iebusaeus cum filiis Beniamin in Ierusalem, usque in praesentem diem.
22 And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Beth-el: and the LORD [was] with them.
Domus quoque Ioseph ascendit in Bethel, fuitque Dominus cum eis.
23 And the house of Joseph sent to explore Beth-el. Now the name of the city before [was] Luz.
Nam cum obsiderent urbem, quae prius Luza vocabatur,
24 And the spies saw a man coming out of the city, and they said to him, Show us, we pray thee, the entrance into the city, and we will show thee mercy.
viderunt hominem egredientem de civitate, dixeruntque ad eum: Ostende nobis introitum civitatis, et faciemus tecum misericordiam.
25 And when he showed them the entrance into the city, they smote the city with the edge of the sword: but they let go the man and all his family.
Qui cum ostendisset eis, percusserunt urbem in ore gladii: hominem autem illum, et omnem cognationem eius dimiserunt.
26 And the man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a city, and called the name of it Luz: which [is] its name to this day.
Qui dimissus, abiit in Terram Hethim, et aedificavit ibi civitatem, vocavitque eam Luzam: quae ita appellatur usque in praesentem diem.
27 Neither did Manasseh expel [the inhabitants of] Beth-shean and its towns, nor Tanach and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
Manasses quoque non delevit Bethsan, et Thanac cum viculis suis, et habitatores Dor, et Ieblaam, et Mageddo cum viculis suis, coepitque Chananaeus habitare cum eis.
28 And it came to pass when Israel was strong, that they subjected the Canaanites to tribute, and did not utterly expel them.
Postquam autem confortatus est Israel, fecit eos tributarios, et delere noluit.
29 Neither did Ephraim expel the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.
Ephraim etiam non interfecit Chananaeum, qui habitabat in Gazer, sed habitavit cum eo.
30 Neither did Zebulun expel the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became tributaries.
Zabulon non delevit habitatores Cetron, et Naalon: sed habitavit Chananaeus in medio eius, factusque est ei tributarius.
31 Neither did Asher expel the inhabitants of Accho, nor the inhabitants of Zidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob:
Aser quoque non delevit habitatores Accho, et Sidonis, Ahalab, et Achazib, et Helba, et Aphec, et Rohob:
32 But the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: for they did not expel them.
habitavitque in medio Chananaei habitatoris illius terrae, nec interfecit eum.
33 Neither did Naphtali expel the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh, nor the inhabitants of Beth-anath; but he dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: nevertheless, the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and of Beth-anath became tributaries to them.
Nephthali quoque non delevit habitatores Bethsames, et Bethanath: et habitavit inter Chananaeum habitatorem Terrae, fueruntque ei Bethsamitae et Bethanitae tributarii.
34 And the Amorites forced the children of Dan to the mountain: for they would not suffer them to come down to the valley:
Arctavitque Amorrhaeus filios Dan in monte, nec dedit eis locum ut ad planiora descenderent:
35 But the Amorites would dwell in mount Heres in Ajalon, and in Shaalbim: yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, so that they became tributaries.
habitavitque in monte Hares, quod interpretatur testatio, in Aialon et Salebim. Et aggravata est manus domus Ioseph, factusque est ei tributarius.
36 And the border of the Amorites [was] from the ascent to Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward.
Fuit autem terminus Amorrhaei ab Ascensu Scorpionis, petra, et superiora loca.
