Juges 1

1 Après la mort de Josué, les enfants d'Israël consultèrent l'Éternel, et dirent: Qui d'entre nous montera le premier contre les Cananéens pour les combattre?

And it came to pass after the death of Joshua, that the children of Israel enquired of the Lord, saying, Who shall go up for us first against the Chananites, to fight against them?

2 Et l'Éternel répondit: Juda y montera; voici, j'ai livré le pays entre ses mains.

And the Lord said, Judas shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.

3 Et Juda dit à Siméon, son frère: Monte avec moi dans mon lot, et nous combattrons les Cananéens; et j'irai aussi avec toi dans ton lot. Ainsi Siméon s'en alla avec lui.

And Judas said to his brother Symeon, Come up with me into my lot, and let us array ourselves against the Chananites, and I also will go with you into your lot: and Symeon went with him.

4 Juda monta donc, et l'Éternel livra les Cananéens et les Phéréziens entre leurs mains, et ils battirent à Bézek dix mille hommes.

And Judas went up; and the Lord delivered the Chananite and the Pherezite into their hands, and they struck them in Bezek to [the number of] ten thousand men.

5 Et, ayant trouvé Adoni-Bézek à Bézek, ils l'attaquèrent, et battirent les Cananéens et les Phéréziens.

And they overtook Adonibezek in Bezek, and fought against him; and they struck the Chananite and the Pherezite.

6 Cependant Adoni-Bézek s'enfuit; mais ils le poursuivirent, le saisirent, et lui coupèrent les pouces des mains et des pieds.

And Adonibezek fled, and they pursued after him, and took him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.

7 Alors Adoni-Bézek dit: Soixante et dix rois, dont les pouces des mains et des pieds avaient été coupés, recueillaient sous ma table ce qui en tombait. Ce que j'ai fait aux autres, Dieu me l'a rendu. Et, ayant été amené à Jérusalem, il y mourut.

And Adonibezek said, Seventy kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered [their food] under my table: as I therefore have done, so God has recompensed me: and they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.

8 Or, les descendants de Juda attaquèrent Jérusalem, et la prirent; et l'ayant frappée du tranchant de l'épée, ils mirent le feu à la ville.

And the children of Judas fought against Jerusalem, and took it, and struck with the edge of the sword, and they burnt the city with fire.

9 Ensuite les descendants de Juda descendirent pour combattre contre les Cananéens qui habitaient la montagne, et le midi, et la plaine.

And afterwards the children of Judas went down to fight with the Chananite dwelling in the hill country, and the south, and the plain country.

10 Juda marcha contre les Cananéens qui habitaient à Hébron (or, le nom d'Hébron était auparavant Kirjath-Arba), et il battit Sheshaï, Ahiman et Talmaï;

And Judas went to the Chananite who lived in Chebron; and Chebron came out against him; [and the name of Chebron before was Cariatharbocsepher: ] and they struck Sessi, and Achiman, and Tholmi, children of Enac.

11 Et de là il marcha contre les habitants de Débir, dont le nom était auparavant Kirjath-Sépher.

And they went up thence to the inhabitants of Dabir; but the name of Dabir was before Cariathsepher, the city of Letters.

12 Et Caleb dit: Qui battra Kirjath-Sépher et la prendra, je lui donnerai ma fille Acsa pour femme.

And Chaleb said, Whosoever shall strike the city of Letters, and shall first take it, I will give to him Ascha my daughter to wife.

13 Alors Othniel, fils de Kénaz, frère puîné de Caleb, la prit; et Caleb lui donna pour femme sa fille Acsa.

And Gothoniel the younger son of Kenez the brother of Chaleb took it; and Chaleb gave him his daughter Ascha to wife.

14 Et comme elle venait chez lui, elle l'incita à demander un champ à son père; et elle se jeta de dessus son âne, et Caleb lui dit: Qu'as-tu?

And it came to pass as she went in, that Gothoniel urged her to ask a field of her father; and she murmured and cried from off her ass, You have sent me forth into a south land: and Chaleb said to her, What is your request?

15 Et elle lui répondit: Donne-moi un présent; puisque tu m'as donné une terre du midi, donne-moi aussi des sources d'eaux. Et Caleb lui donna les sources supérieures, et les sources inférieures.

And Ascha said to him, Give me, I pray you, a blessing, for you have sent me forth into a south land, and you shall give me the ransom of water: and Chaleb gave her according to her heart the ransom of the upper [springs] and the ransom of the low [springs].

16 Or, les enfants du Kénien, beau-père de Moïse, montèrent de la ville des palmiers, avec les descendants de Juda, au désert de Juda, qui est au midi d'Arad; et ils allèrent, et demeurèrent avec le peuple.

And the children of Jothor the Kenite the father-in-law of Moses went up from the city of palm-trees with the children of Judas, to the wilderness that is in the south of Juda, which is at the descent of Arad, and they lived with the people.

17 Puis Juda alla avec Siméon son frère, et ils battirent les Cananéens qui habitaient à Tséphath, et ils vouèrent ce lieu à l'interdit, et on appela la ville, Horma (Extermination).

And Judas went with Symeon his brother, and struck the Chananite that inhabited Sepheth, and they utterly destroyed them; and they called the name of the city Anathema.

18 Juda prit aussi Gaza avec son territoire, Askélon avec son territoire, et Ékron avec son territoire.

But Judas did not inherit Gaza nor her coasts, nor Ascalon nor her coasts, nor Accaron nor her coasts, [nor] Azotus nor the lands around it.

19 Et l'Éternel fut avec Juda; et ils prirent possession de la montagne; mais ils ne dépossédèrent point les habitants de la vallée, parce qu'ils avaient des chars de fer.

And the Lord was with Judas, and he inherited the mountain; for they were not able to destroy the inhabitants of the valley, for Rechab prevented them.

20 Et, selon que Moïse l'avait dit, on donna Hébron à Caleb, qui en déposséda les trois fils d'Anak.

And they gave Chebron to Chaleb, as Moses said; and thence he inherited the three cities of the children of Enac.

21 Quant aux descendants de Benjamin, ils ne dépossédèrent point les Jébusiens, qui habitaient à Jérusalem; aussi les Jébusiens ont habité avec les enfants de Benjamin, à Jérusalem, jusqu'à ce jour.

But the children of Benjamin did not take the inheritance of the Jebusite who lived in Jerusalem; and the Jebusite lived with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem until this day.

22 La maison de Joseph monta aussi contre Béthel, et l'Éternel fut avec eux.

And the sons of Joseph, they also went up to Baethel; and the Lord was with them.

23 La maison de Joseph fit donc explorer Béthel, dont le nom était auparavant Luz;

And they encamped and surveyed Baethel: and the name of the city before was Luza.

24 Et les espions virent un homme, qui sortait de la ville, et ils lui dirent: Fais-nous voir, nous t'en prions, par où l'on peut entrer dans la ville, et nous te ferons grâce.

And the spies looked, and behold, a man went out of the city, and they took him; and they said to him, Show us the way into the city, and we will deal mercifully with you.

25 Et il leur montra par où l'on pouvait entrer dans la ville, et ils la firent passer au fil de l'épée; mais ils laissèrent aller cet homme-là et toute sa famille.

And he showed them the way into the city; and they struck the city with the edge of the sword; but they let go the man and his family.

26 Puis, cet homme se rendit au pays des Héthiens; il y bâtit une ville, et l'appela Luz, nom qu'elle a porté jusqu'à ce jour.

And the man went into the land of Chettin, and built there a city, and called the name of it Luza; this [is] its name until this day.

27 Manassé ne déposséda point les habitants de Beth-Shéan et des villes de son ressort, ni les habitants de Thaanac et des villes de son ressort, ni les habitants de Dor et des villes de son ressort, ni les habitants de Jibléam et des villes de son ressort, ni les habitants de Méguiddo et des villes de son ressort; ainsi les Cananéens persistèrent à habiter ce pays-là.

And Manasse did not drive out [the inhabitants of] Baethsan, which is a city of Scythians, nor her towns, nor her suburbs; nor Thanac, nor her towns; nor the inhabitants of Dor, nor her suburbs, nor her towns; nor the inhabitant of Balac, nor her suburbs, nor her towns; nor the inhabitants of Magedo, nor her suburbs, nor her towns; nor the inhabitants of Jeblaam, nor her suburbs, nor her towns; and the Chananite began to dwell in this land.

28 Cependant, quand Israël fut devenu plus fort, il rendit les Cananéens tributaires; mais il ne les chassa pas entièrement.

And it came to pass when Israel was strong, that he made the Chananite tributary, but did not utterly drive them out.

29 Éphraïm ne déposséda point non plus les Cananéens qui habitaient à Guézer; mais les Cananéens habitèrent avec lui à Guézer.

And Ephraim did not drive out the Chananite that lived in Gazer; and the Chananite lived in the midst of him in Gazer, and became tributary.

30 Zabulon ne déposséda point les habitants de Kitron, ni les habitants de Nahalol; et les Cananéens habitèrent avec lui, mais ils lui furent tributaires.

And Zabulon did not drive out the inhabitants of Kedron, nor the inhabitants of Domana: and the Chananite lived in the midst of them, and became tributary to them.

31 Asser ne déposséda point les habitants d'Acco, ni les habitants de Sidon, ni d'Achlab, ni d'Aczib, ni d'Helba, ni d'Aphik, ni de Réhob;

And Aser did not drive out the inhabitants of Accho, and [that people] became tributary to him, nor the inhabitants of Dor, nor the inhabitants of Sidon, nor the inhabitants of Dalaph, nor Aschazi, nor Chebda, nor Nai, nor Ereo.

32 Mais ceux d'Asser habitèrent parmi les Cananéens, habitants du pays; car ils ne les dépossédèrent point.

And Aser lived in the midst of the Chananite who inhabited the land, for he could not drive him out.

33 Nephthali ne déposséda point les habitants de Beth-Shémèsh, ni les habitants de Beth-Anath; mais il habita parmi les Cananéens, habitants du pays; et les habitants de Beth-Shémèsh et de Beth-Anath leur furent tributaires.

And Nephthali did not drive out the inhabitants of Baethsamys, nor the inhabitants of Baethanach; and Nephthali lived in the midst of the Chananite who inhabited the land: but the inhabitants of Bethsamys and of Baetheneth became tributary to them.

34 Et les Amoréens resserrèrent dans la montagne les descendants de Dan, et ne les laissèrent point descendre dans la vallée.

And the Amorite drove out the children of Dan into the mountains, for they did not suffer them to come down into the valley.

35 Et ces Amoréens persistèrent à demeurer à Har-Hérès, à Ajalon, et à Shaalbim; mais la main de la maison de Joseph pesa sur eux, et ils furent rendus tributaires.

And the Amorite began to dwell in the mountain of shells, in which [are] bears, and foxes, in Myrsinon, and in Thalabin; and the hand of the house of Joseph was heavy upon the Amorite, and he became tributary to them.

36 Or, le territoire des Amoréens s'étendait depuis la montée d'Akrabbim, depuis Séla (la Roche), et au-dessus.

And the border of the Amorite [was] from the going up of Acrabin, from the rock and upwards.
