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?
Og det skete efter Josvas Død, da adspurgte Israels Børn Herren og sagde: Hvo skal først drage op af os imod Kananiterne, til at stride imod dem?
2 And the LORD said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.
Og Herren sagde: Juda skal drage op; se, jeg har givet Landet i hans Haand.
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.
Da sagde Juda til Simeon sin Broder: Drag op med mig til min Lod, saa ville vi stride imod Kananiterne, saa vil jeg ogsaa gaa med dig til din Lod; saa gik Simeon med ham.
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.
Og Juda drog op, og Herren gav Kananiterne og Feresiterne i deres Haand, og de sloge dem i Besek, ti Tusinde Mand.
5 And they found Adoni-bezek in Bezek: and they fought against him, and they slew the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
Og de fandt Adoni-Besek i Besek og strede imod ham, og de sloge Kananiterne og Feresiterne.
6 But Adoni-bezek fled; and they pursued him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.
Men Adoni-Besek flyede, og de forfulgte ham; og de grebe ham og afhuggede hans Tommelfingre og hans Tommeltæer.
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.
Da sagde Adoni-Besek: Halvfjerdsindstyve Konger, hvis Tommelfingre og Tommeltæer vare afhugne, sankede op under mit Bord; som jeg har gjort, saa har Gud betalt mig; og de førte ham til Jerusalem, og der døde han.
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.)
Og Judas Børn strede imod Jerusalem og indtoge den og sloge den med skarpe Sværd og satte Ild paa Staden.
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.
Derefter droge Judas Børn ned for at stride imod Kananiterne, som boede paa Bjerget og imod Sønden og i Lavlandet.
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.
Og Juda drog hen imod Kananiterne, som boede i Hebron, og Hebrons Navn var fordum Kirjath-Arba, og de sloge Sesai, Ahiman og Talmai.
11 And from thence he went against the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before [was] Kirjath-sepher:
Og han drog derfra mod Debirs Indbyggere; og Debirs Navn var fordum Kirjath-Sefer.
12 And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjath-sepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter for a wife.
Og Kaleb sagde: Hvo der slaar Kirjath-Sefer og indtager den, ham vil jeg give Aksa, min Datter, til Hustru.
13 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter for a wife.
Da indtog Othniel, en Søn af Kenas, Kalebs yngre Broder, den; og han gav ham Aksa, sin Datter, til Hustru.
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?
Og det skete, der hun kom, da tilskyndte hun ham til at begære af hendes Fader en Ager, og hun sprang ned af Asenet; da sagde Kaleb til hende: Hvad fattes dig?
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.
Og hun sagde til ham: Giv mig en Velsignelse, thi du har givet mig et Land mod Sønden, giv mig og Vandkilder; da gav Kaleb hende de øvre Vandkilder og de nedre Vandkilder.
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.
Og Keniterens, Mose Svigerfaders, Børn droge op fra Palmestaden med Judas Børn til Judas Ørk, som er Sønden for Arad, og gik hen og boede der hos Folket.
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.
Og Juda drog ud med sin Broder Simeon, og de sloge Kananiten, som boede i Zefat; og de bandlyste den, og man kaldte Stadens Navn Horma.
18 Also Judah took Gaza with its border, and Askelon with its border, and Ekron with its border.
Og Juda indtog Gaza og dens Landemærke og Askion og dens Landemærke og Ekron og dens Landemærke.
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.
Og Herren var med Juda, saa han fordrev dem, som boede paa Bjerget; men han mægtede ikke at fordrive Indbyggerne i Dalen, fordi de havde Jernvogne.
20 And they gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses said: and he expelled thence the three sons of Anak.
Og de gave Kaleb Hebron, som Mose havde sagt, og han fordrev derfra de tre Anaks Sønner.
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.
Og Benjamins Børn fordreve ikke Jebusiten, som boede i Jerusalem; men Jebusiten boede hos Benjamins Børn i Jerusalem indtil denne Dag.
22 And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Beth-el: and the LORD [was] with them.
Og Josefs Hus drog ogsaa op imod Bethel, og Herren var med dem.
23 And the house of Joseph sent to explore Beth-el. Now the name of the city before [was] Luz.
Og Josefs Hus bespejdede Bethel; men Stadens Navn var fordum Lus.
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.
Og de, som holdt Vagt, saa en Mand, som gik ud af Staden; og de sagde til ham: Vis os, kære, hvor vi kunne komme ind i Staden, da ville vi bevise dig Miskundhed.
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.
Og der han havde vist dem, hvor de kunde komme ind i Staden, da sloge de Staden med skarpe Sværd; men Manden og al hans Slægt lode de gaa.
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.
Da gik Manden til Hethiternes Land, og han byggede en Stad og kaldte dens Navn Lus, det er dens Navn indtil denne Dag.
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.
Og Manasse fordrev ikke Indbyggerne i Beth-Sean med dens tilhørende Stæder eller i Thaanak med dens tilhørende Stæder eller Indbyggerne i Dor med dens tilhørende Stæder eller Indbyggerne i Jibleam med dens tilhørende Stæder eller Indbyggerne i Megiddo med dens tilhørende Stæder; og Kananiten boede roligt i det samme Land.
28 And it came to pass when Israel was strong, that they subjected the Canaanites to tribute, and did not utterly expel them.
Og det skete, der Israel blev stærk, da gjorde han Kananiten skatskyldig; men han fordrev ham ikke aldeles.
29 Neither did Ephraim expel the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.
Og Efraim fordrev ikke Kananiten, som boede i Geser; men Kananiten boede midt iblandt dem i Geser.
30 Neither did Zebulun expel the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became tributaries.
Sebulon fordrev ikke Indbyggerne i Kitron eller Indbyggerne i Nahalol; men Kananiten boede midt iblandt dem og blev skatskyldig.
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 fordrev ikke Indbyggerne i Akko eller Indbyggerne i Zidon og Alab og Aksib og Helba og Afik og Rehob.
32 But the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: for they did not expel them.
Og Aseriterne boede iblandt Kananiterne, Landets Indbyggere; thi de fordreve dem ikke.
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.
Nafthali fordrev ikke Indbyggerne i Beth-Semes eller Indbyggerne i Beth-Anath, men boede midt iblandt Kananiterne, som boede i Landet; men Indbyggerne i Beth-Semes og Beth-Anath bleve dem skatskyldige.
34 And the Amorites forced the children of Dan to the mountain: for they would not suffer them to come down to the valley:
Og Amoriterne trængte Dans Børn hen til Bjerget; thi de tilstedte dem ikke at komme ned i Dalen.
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.
Og Amoriterne boede roligt i Har-Heres, i Ajalon og i Saalbim; dog var Josefs Huses Haand dem svar; og de bleve skatskyldige.
36 And the border of the Amorites [was] from the ascent to Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward.
Og Amoriternes Landemærke var fra Opgangen til Akrabbim, fra Klippen og op efter.
