< Hakim-hakim 1 >

1 Sesudah Yosua mati, orang Israel bertanya kepada TUHAN: "Siapakah dari pada kami yang harus lebih dahulu maju menghadapi orang Kanaan untuk berperang melawan mereka?"
Now after the death of Joshua, the children of Israel made request to the Lord, saying, Who is to go up first to make war for us against the Canaanites?
2 Firman TUHAN: "Suku Yehudalah yang harus maju; sesungguhnya telah Kuserahkan negeri itu ke dalam tangannya."
And the Lord said, Judah is to go up: see, I have given the land into his hands.
3 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.
Then Judah said to Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my heritage, so that we may make war against the Canaanites; and I will then go with you into your heritage. So Simeon went with him.
4 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.
And Judah went up; and the Lord gave the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hands; and they overcame ten thousand of them in Bezek.
5 Di Bezek mereka menjumpai Adoni-Bezek dan berperang melawan dia, dan mereka memukul kalah orang Kanaan dan orang Feris.
And they came across Adoni-zedek, and made war on him; and they overcame the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
6 Tetapi Adoni-Bezek melarikan diri, lalu mereka mengejarnya, menangkapnya dan memotong ibu jari dari tangannya dan dari kakinya.
But Adoni-zedek went in flight; and they went after him and overtook him, and had his thumbs and his great toes cut off.
7 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.
And Adoni-zedek said, Seventy kings, whose thumbs and great toes had been cut off, got broken meat under my table: as I have done, so has God done to me in full. And they took him to Jerusalem, and he came to his end there.
8 Sesudah itu bani Yehuda berperang melawan Yerusalem, merebutnya lalu memukulnya dengan mata pedang dan memusnahkan kota itu dengan api.
Then the children of Judah made an attack on Jerusalem, and took it, burning down the town after they had put its people to the sword without mercy.
9 Kemudian bani Yehuda maju berperang melawan orang Kanaan, yang diam di pegunungan, di Tanah Negeb dan di Daerah Bukit.
After that the children of Judah went down to make war on the Canaanites living in the hill-country and in the south and in the lowlands.
10 Lalu suku Yehuda bergerak menyerang orang Kanaan yang diam di Hebron--nama Hebron dahulu adalah Kiryat-Arba--dan memukul kalah Sesai, Ahiman dan Talmai.
And Caleb went against the Canaanites of Hebron: (now in earlier times Hebron was named Kiriath-arba: ) and he put Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai to the sword.
11 Dari sana mereka bergerak menyerang penduduk Debir. Nama Debir dahulu adalah Kiryat-Sefer.
And from there he went up against the people of Debir. (Now the name of Debir in earlier times was Kiriath-sepher.)
12 Berkatalah Kaleb: "Siapa yang mengalahkan dan merebut Kiryat-Sefer, kepadanya akan kuberikan Akhsa, anakku, menjadi isterinya."
And Caleb said, I will give Achsah, my daughter, as wife to the man who overcomes Kiriath-sepher and takes it.
13 Dan Otniel, anak Kenas adik Kaleb, merebut kota itu; lalu Kaleb memberikan Akhsa, anaknya, kepadanya menjadi isterinya.
And Othniel, the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it; so he gave him his daughter Achsah for his wife.
14 Ketika perempuan itu tiba, dibujuknya suaminya untuk meminta sebidang ladang kepada ayahnya. Maka turunlah perempuan itu dari keledainya, lalu berkatalah Kaleb kepadanya: "Ada apa?"
Now when she came to him, he put into her mind the idea of requesting a field from her father: and she got down from her ass; and Caleb said to her, What is it?
15 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.
And she said to him, Give me a blessing; because you have put me in a dry south-land, now give me springs of water. So Caleb gave her the higher spring and the lower spring.
16 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.
Now Hobab the Kenite, Moses' father-in-law, had come up out of the town of palm-trees, with the children of Judah, into the waste land of Arad; and he went and was living among the Amalekites;
17 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.
And Judah went with Simeon, his brother, and overcame the Canaanites living in Zephath, and put it under the curse; and he gave the town the name of Hormah.
18 Selanjutnya suku Yehuda merebut Gaza dengan daerahnya, Askelon dengan daerahnya dan Ekron dengan daerahnya.
Then Judah took Gaza and its limit, and Ashkelon and its limit, and Ekron and its limit.
19 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.
And the Lord was with Judah; and he took the hill-country for his heritage; but he was unable to make the people of the valley go out, for they had war-carriages of iron.
20 Kepada Kaleb telah diberikan Hebron, seperti yang dikatakan Musa dahulu, dan dari sana telah dihalaukannya anak Enak yang tiga itu.
And they gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had said; and he took the land of the three sons of Anak, driving them out from there.
21 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.
And the children of Judah did not make the Jebusites who were living in Jerusalem go out; the Jebusites are still living with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem.
22 Keturunan Yusuf juga maju menyerang Betel, dan TUHAN menyertai mereka.
And the family of Joseph went up against Beth-el, and the Lord was with them.
23 Keturunan Yusuf menyuruh orang mengintai Betel itu--nama kota itu dahulu adalah Lus.
So they sent men to make a search round Beth-el. (Now the name of the town in earlier times was Luz.)
24 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."
And the watchers saw a man coming out of the town, and said to him, If you will make clear to us the way into the town, we will be kind to you.
25 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.
So he made clear to them the way into the town, and they put it to the sword; but they let the man and all his family get away safe.
26 Orang itu pergi ke negeri orang Het dan mendirikan di sana sebuah kota yang dinamainya Lus. Demikianlah nama kota itu sampai sekarang.
And he went into the land of the Hittites, building a town there and naming it Luz: which is its name to this day.
27 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.
And Manasseh did not take away the land of the people of Beth-shean and its daughter-towns, or of Taanach and its daughter-towns, or of the people of Dor and its daughter-towns, or of the people of Ibleam and its daughter-towns, or of the people of Megiddo and its daughter-towns, driving them out; but the Canaanites would go on living in that land.
28 Setelah orang Israel menjadi kuat, mereka membuat orang Kanaan itu menjadi orang rodi dan tidak menghalau mereka sama sekali.
And whenever Israel became strong, they put the Canaanites to forced work, without driving them out completely.
29 Suku Efraimpun tidak menghalau orang Kanaan yang diam di Gezer, sehingga orang Kanaan itu tetap diam di tengah-tengah mereka di Gezer.
And Ephraim did not make the Canaanites who were living in Gezer go out; but the Canaanites went on living in Gezer among them.
30 Suku Zebulon tidak menghalau penduduk Kitron dan penduduk Nahalol, sehingga orang Kanaan itu tetap diam di tengah-tengah mereka, walaupun sebagai orang rodi.
Zebulun did not make the people of Kitron or the people of Nahalol go out; but the Canaanites went on living among them and were put to forced work.
31 Suku Asyer tidak menghalau penduduk Ako, penduduk Sidon serta Ahlab, Akhzib, Helba, Afek dan Rehob,
And Asher did not take the land of the people of Acco, or Zidon, or Ahlab, or Achzib, or Helbah, or Aphik, or Rehob, driving them out;
32 sehingga orang Asyer itu diam di tengah-tengah orang Kanaan, penduduk asli di negeri itu, sebab orang-orang itu tidak dihalaunya.
But the Asherites went on living among the Canaanites, the people of the land, without driving them out.
33 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.
Naphtali did not take the land of the people of Beth-shemesh or of Beth-anath, driving them out; but he was living among the Canaanites in the land; however, the people of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath were put to forced work.
34 Orang Amori mendesak bani Dan ke sebelah pegunungan dan tidak membiarkan mereka turun ke lembah,
And the children of Dan were forced into the hill-country by the Amorites, who would not let them come down into the valley;
35 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.
For the Amorites would go on living in Mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim; but the children of Joseph became stronger than they, and put them to forced work.
36 Daerah orang Amori itu mulai dari pendakian Akrabim, dari Sela, terus ke atas.
And the limit of the Edomites went from the slope of Akrabbim from Sela and up.
