Κριταί 1

1 καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ τὴν τελευτὴν Ἰησοῦ καὶ ἐπηρώτων οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ διὰ τοῦ κυρίου λέγοντες τίς ἀναβήσεται ἡμῖν πρὸς τοὺς Χαναναίους ἀφηγούμενος τοῦ πολεμῆσαι πρὸς αὐτούς

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?

2 καὶ εἶπεν κύριος Ιουδας ἀναβήσεται ἰδοὺ δέδωκα τὴν γῆν ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ

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

3 καὶ εἶπεν Ιουδας τῷ Συμεων ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ ἀνάβηθι μετ’ ἐμοῦ ἐν τῷ κλήρῳ μου καὶ παραταξώμεθα πρὸς τοὺς Χαναναίους καὶ πορεύσομαι κἀγὼ μετὰ σοῦ ἐν τῷ κλήρῳ σου καὶ ἐπορεύθη μετ’ αὐτοῦ Συμεων

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.

4 καὶ ἀνέβη Ιουδας καὶ παρέδωκεν κύριος τὸν Χαναναῖον καὶ τὸν Φερεζαῖον εἰς τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν καὶ ἔκοψαν αὐτοὺς ἐν Βεζεκ εἰς δέκα χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν

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.

5 καὶ κατέλαβον τὸν Αδωνιβεζεκ ἐν τῇ Βεζεκ καὶ παρετάξαντο πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ ἔκοψαν τὸν Χαναναῖον καὶ τὸν Φερεζαῖον

And they found Adoni-bezek in Bezek: and they fought against him, and they slew the Canaanites and the Perizzites.

6 καὶ ἔφυγεν Αδωνιβεζεκ καὶ κατέδραμον ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ καὶ κατελάβοσαν αὐτὸν καὶ ἀπέκοψαν τὰ ἄκρα τῶν χειρῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ ἄκρα τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ

But Adoni-bezek fled; and they pursued him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.

7 καὶ εἶπεν Αδωνιβεζεκ ἑβδομήκοντα βασιλεῖς τὰ ἄκρα τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ ἄκρα τῶν ποδῶν αὐτῶν ἀποκεκομμένοι ἦσαν συλλέγοντες τὰ ὑποκάτω τῆς τραπέζης μου καθὼς οὖν ἐποίησα οὕτως ἀνταπέδωκέν μοι ὁ θεός καὶ ἄγουσιν αὐτὸν εἰς Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ἀπέθανεν ἐκεῖ

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.

8 καὶ ἐπολέμουν οἱ υἱοὶ Ιουδα τὴν Ιερουσαλημ καὶ κατελάβοντο αὐτὴν καὶ ἐπάταξαν αὐτὴν ἐν στόματι ῥομφαίας καὶ τὴν πόλιν ἐνέπρησαν ἐν πυρί

(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.)

9 καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα κατέβησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ιουδα τοῦ πολεμῆσαι πρὸς τὸν Χαναναῖον τὸν κατοικοῦντα τὴν ὀρεινὴν καὶ τὸν νότον καὶ τὴν πεδινήν

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.

10 καὶ ἐπορεύθη Ιουδας πρὸς τὸν Χαναναῖον τὸν κατοικοῦντα ἐν Χεβρων καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Χεβρων ἐξ ἐναντίας καὶ τὸ ὄνομα ἦν Χεβρων τὸ πρότερον Καριαθαρβοξεφερ καὶ ἐπάταξαν τὸν Σεσσι καὶ Αχινααν καὶ Θολμιν γεννήματα τοῦ Ενακ

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.

11 καὶ ἀνέβησαν ἐκεῖθεν πρὸς τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Δαβιρ τὸ δὲ ὄνομα τῆς Δαβιρ ἦν ἔμπροσθεν Καριαθσωφαρ πόλις γραμμάτων

And from thence he went against the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before [was] Kirjath-sepher:

12 καὶ εἶπεν Χαλεβ ὃς ἐὰν πατάξῃ τὴν πόλιν τῶν γραμμάτων καὶ προκαταλάβηται αὐτήν δώσω αὐτῷ τὴν Ασχα θυγατέρα μου εἰς γυναῖκα

And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjath-sepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter for a wife.

13 καὶ προκατελάβετο αὐτὴν Γοθονιηλ υἱὸς Κενεζ ἀδελφοῦ Χαλεβ ὁ νεώτερος καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ Χαλεβ τὴν Ασχα θυγατέρα αὐτοῦ εἰς γυναῖκα

And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter for a wife.

14 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῇ εἰσόδῳ αὐτῆς καὶ ἐπέσεισεν αὐτὴν Γοθονιηλ τοῦ αἰτῆσαι παρὰ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῆς ἀγρόν καὶ ἐγόγγυζεν καὶ ἔκραξεν ἀπὸ τοῦ ὑποζυγίου εἰς γῆν νότου ἐκδέδοσαί με καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ Χαλεβ τί ἐστίν σοι

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?

15 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ασχα δὸς δή μοι εὐλογίαν ὅτι εἰς γῆν νότου ἐκδέδοσαί με καὶ δώσεις μοι λύτρωσιν ὕδατος καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῇ Χαλεβ κατὰ τὴν καρδίαν αὐτῆς λύτρωσιν μετεώρων καὶ λύτρωσιν ταπεινῶν

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.

16 καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ιοθορ τοῦ Κιναιου τοῦ γαμβροῦ Μωυσέως ἀνέβησαν ἐκ πόλεως τῶν φοινίκων μετὰ τῶν υἱῶν Ιουδα εἰς τὴν ἔρημον τὴν οὖσαν ἐν τῷ νότῳ Ιουδα ἥ ἐστιν ἐπὶ καταβάσεως Αραδ καὶ κατῴκησαν μετὰ τοῦ λαοῦ

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.

17 καὶ ἐπορεύθη Ιουδας μετὰ Συμεων τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔκοψεν τὸν Χαναναῖον τὸν κατοικοῦντα Σεφεκ καὶ ἐξωλέθρευσαν αὐτούς καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα τῆς πόλεως Ἀνάθεμα

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.

18 καὶ οὐκ ἐκληρονόμησεν Ιουδας τὴν Γάζαν οὐδὲ τὰ ὅρια αὐτῆς οὐδὲ τὴν Ἀσκαλῶνα οὐδὲ τὰ ὅρια αὐτῆς οὐδὲ τὴν Ακκαρων οὐδὲ τὰ ὅρια αὐτῆς οὐδὲ τὴν Ἄζωτον οὐδὲ τὰ περισπόρια αὐτῆς

Also Judah took Gaza with its border, and Askelon with its border, and Ekron with its border.

19 καὶ ἦν κύριος μετὰ Ιουδα καὶ ἐκληρονόμησεν τὸ ὄρος ὅτι οὐκ ἠδυνάσθησαν ἐξολεθρεῦσαι τοὺς κατοικοῦντας τὴν κοιλάδα ὅτι Ρηχαβ διεστείλατο αὐτοῖς

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.

20 καὶ ἔδωκαν τῷ Χαλεβ τὴν Χεβρων καθὼς ἐλάλησεν Μωυσῆς καὶ ἐκληρονόμησεν ἐκεῖθεν τὰς τρεῖς πόλεις τῶν υἱῶν Ενακ

And they gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses said: and he expelled thence the three sons of Anak.

21 καὶ τὸν Ιεβουσαῖον τὸν κατοικοῦντα ἐν Ιερουσαλημ οὐκ ἐκληρονόμησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Βενιαμιν καὶ κατῴκησεν ὁ Ιεβουσαῖος μετὰ τῶν υἱῶν Βενιαμιν ἐν Ιερουσαλημ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης

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.

22 καὶ ἀνέβησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ιωσηφ καί γε αὐτοὶ εἰς Βαιθηλ καὶ κύριος ἦν μετ’ αὐτῶν

And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Beth-el: and the LORD [was] with them.

23 καὶ παρενέβαλον καὶ κατεσκέψαντο Βαιθηλ τὸ δὲ ὄνομα τῆς πόλεως αὐτῶν ἦν ἔμπροσθεν Λουζα

And the house of Joseph sent to explore Beth-el. Now the name of the city before [was] Luz.

24 καὶ εἶδον οἱ φυλάσσοντες καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀνὴρ ἐξεπορεύετο ἐκ τῆς πόλεως καὶ ἔλαβον αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπον αὐτῷ δεῖξον ἡμῖν τῆς πόλεως τὴν εἴσοδον καὶ ποιήσομεν μετὰ σοῦ ἔλεος

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.

25 καὶ ἔδειξεν αὐτοῖς τὴν εἴσοδον τῆς πόλεως καὶ ἐπάταξαν τὴν πόλιν ἐν στόματι ῥομφαίας τὸν δὲ ἄνδρα καὶ τὴν συγγένειαν αὐτοῦ ἐξαπέστειλαν

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.

26 καὶ ἐπορεύθη ὁ ἀνὴρ εἰς γῆν Χεττιιν καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐκεῖ πόλιν καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῆς Λουζα τοῦτο τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῆς ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης

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.

27 καὶ οὐκ ἐξῆρεν Μανασση τὴν Βαιθσαν ἥ ἐστιν Σκυθῶν πόλις οὐδὲ τὰς θυγατέρας αὐτῆς οὐδὲ τὰ περίοικα αὐτῆς οὐδὲ τὴν Θανακ οὐδὲ τὰς θυγατέρας αὐτῆς οὐδὲ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Δωρ οὐδὲ τὰς θυγατέρας αὐτῆς οὐδὲ τὸν κατοικοῦντα Βαλακ οὐδὲ τὰ περίοικα αὐτῆς οὐδὲ τὰς θυγατέρας αὐτῆς οὐδὲ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Μαγεδω οὐδὲ τὰ περίοικα αὐτῆς οὐδὲ τὰς θυγατέρας αὐτῆς οὐδὲ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Ιεβλααμ οὐδὲ τὰ περίοικα αὐτῆς οὐδὲ τὰς θυγατέρας αὐτῆς καὶ ἤρξατο ὁ Χαναναῖος κατοικεῖν ἐν τῇ γῇ ταύτῃ

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.

28 καὶ ἐγένετο ὅτε ἐνίσχυσεν Ισραηλ καὶ ἐποίησεν τὸν Χαναναῖον εἰς φόρον καὶ ἐξαίρων οὐκ ἐξῆρεν αὐτόν

And it came to pass when Israel was strong, that they subjected the Canaanites to tribute, and did not utterly expel them.

29 καὶ Εφραιμ οὐκ ἐξῆρεν τὸν Χαναναῖον τὸν κατοικοῦντα ἐν Γαζερ καὶ κατῴκησεν ὁ Χαναναῖος ἐν μέσῳ αὐτοῦ ἐν Γαζερ καὶ ἐγένετο εἰς φόρον

Neither did Ephraim expel the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.

30 καὶ Ζαβουλων οὐκ ἐξῆρεν τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Κεδρων οὐδὲ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Δωμανα καὶ κατῴκησεν ὁ Χαναναῖος ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτῷ εἰς φόρον

Neither did Zebulun expel the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became tributaries.

31 καὶ Ασηρ οὐκ ἐξῆρεν τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Ακχω καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτῷ εἰς φόρον καὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Δωρ καὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Σιδῶνα καὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Ααλαφ καὶ τὸν Ασχαζι καὶ τὸν Χελβα καὶ τὸν Ναϊ καὶ τὸν Ερεω

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:

32 καὶ κατῴκησεν ὁ Ασηρ ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ Χαναναίου τοῦ κατοικοῦντος τὴν γῆν ὅτι οὐκ ἠδυνήθη ἐξᾶραι αὐτόν

But the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: for they did not expel them.

33 καὶ Νεφθαλι οὐκ ἐξῆρεν τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Βαιθσαμυς καὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Βαιθαναθ καὶ κατῴκησεν Νεφθαλι ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ Χαναναίου τοῦ κατοικοῦντος τὴν γῆν οἱ δὲ κατοικοῦντες Βαιθσαμυς καὶ τὴν Βαιθενεθ ἐγένοντο αὐτοῖς εἰς φόρον

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.

34 καὶ ἐξέθλιψεν ὁ Αμορραῖος τοὺς υἱοὺς Δαν εἰς τὸ ὄρος ὅτι οὐκ ἀφῆκαν αὐτὸν καταβῆναι εἰς τὴν κοιλάδα

And the Amorites forced the children of Dan to the mountain: for they would not suffer them to come down to the valley:

35 καὶ ἤρξατο ὁ Αμορραῖος κατοικεῖν ἐν τῷ ὄρει τῷ ὀστρακώδει ἐν ᾧ αἱ ἄρκοι καὶ ἐν ᾧ αἱ ἀλώπεκες ἐν τῷ Μυρσινῶνι καὶ ἐν Θαλαβιν καὶ ἐβαρύνθη χεὶρ οἴκου Ιωσηφ ἐπὶ τὸν Αμορραῖον καὶ ἐγενήθη αὐτοῖς εἰς φόρον

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.

36 καὶ τὸ ὅριον τοῦ Αμορραίου ἀπὸ τῆς ἀναβάσεως Ακραβιν ἀπὸ τῆς Πέτρας καὶ ἐπάνω

And the border of the Amorites [was] from the ascent to Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward.
