< Hakim-hakim 1 >
1 Sesudah Yosua meninggal, umat Israel bertanya kepada TUHAN, “Suku mana yang harus maju terlebih dahulu untuk berperang melawan orang Kanaan?”
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 Jawab TUHAN, “Suku Yehuda yang maju lebih dulu. Aku sudah memberikan negeri itu kepada mereka.”
And the LORD said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.
3 Lalu suku Yehuda berkata kepada suku Simeon, saudara mereka, “Bergabunglah bersama kami untuk memerangi orang Kanaan dan merebut wilayah yang ditentukan untuk kami. Sesudah itu kami juga akan membantu kalian merebut wilayah yang ditentukan bagi kalian.” Maka suku Simeon pun ikut bersama suku Yehuda.
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 you into your lot. So Simeon went with him.
4 Mereka maju berperang dan TUHAN membuat mereka menang atas orang Kanaan serta orang Feris. Di kota Bezek mereka membunuh sepuluh ribu orang. Di sana mereka juga menemukan raja Bezek dan menyerang dia.
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.
And they found Adonibezek in Bezek: and they fought against him, and they slew the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
6 Saat dia melarikan diri, mereka mengejar dan menangkap dia. Mereka memotong ibu jari dari kedua tangan dan kedua kakinya.
But Adonibezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.
7 Lalu kata raja Bezek itu, “Saya pernah mengalahkan tujuh puluh raja dan memotong ibu jari tangan dan kaki mereka. Lalu seperti anjing mereka terpaksa sisa-sisa makanan yang jatuh dari meja saya. Sekarang Allah membalaskan kepada saya sebagaimana saya memperlakukan raja-raja itu.” Kemudian dia dibawa ke Yerusalem dan mati di sana.
And Adonibezek said, Three score and ten kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered their meat under my table: as I have done, so God has requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died.
8 Sesudah itu suku Yehuda menyerang kota Yerusalem dan merebutnya. Mereka membantai penduduknya dan membakar kota itu.
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 Mereka juga menyerang orang-orang Kanaan yang tinggal di daerah perbukitan, di padang belantara Negeb di wilayah selatan, dan di dataran rendah.
And afterward the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites, that dwelled in the mountain, and in the south, and in the valley.
10 Kemudian mereka mengalahkan dan menghabisi tiga keluarga besar raksasa Kanaan yang tinggal di kota Kiryat Arba, yaitu orang-orang Sesai, Ahiman, dan Talmai. Di kemudian hari, kota itu diberi nama Hebron.
And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelled in Hebron: (now the name of Hebron before was Kirjatharba: ) and they slew Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.
11 Dari Hebron, mereka pergi menyerang penduduk kota Kiryat Sefer. Di kemudian hari kota itu diberi nama Debir.
And from there he went against the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before was Kirjathsepher:
12 Pada waktu itu Kaleb berkata, “Kepada siapa pun yang menyerang kota Kiryat Sefer dan berhasil merebutnya, aku akan memberikan Aksa, anak perempuanku, menjadi istrinya.”
And Caleb said, He that smites Kirjathsepher, and takes it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.
13 Lalu Otniel, anak Kenas saudara Kaleb, berhasil merebut kota itu. Maka Kaleb memberikan Aksa kepada Otniel untuk menjadi istrinya.
And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.
14 Ketika mereka menikah, Aksa membujuk Otniel untuk meminta ladang dari Kaleb, ayahnya. Tetapi ketika Aksa sedang menunggangi keledai, dia bertemu dengan Kaleb. Aksa turun dari keledainya dan Kaleb bertanya, “Apa yang kamu inginkan?”
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 will you?
15 Jawab Aksa, “Aku punya permintaan khusus. Ayah sudah memberiku tanah kering di padang belantara Negeb di selatan. Karena itu, mohon berikanlah juga kepadaku mata air.” Maka Kaleb memberikan dua mata air kepadanya, satu di dataran tinggi dan satu di dataran rendah.
And she said to him, Give me a blessing: for you have given me a south land; give me also springs of water. And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the nether springs.
16 Waktu suku Yehuda meninggalkan kota Yeriko (yang juga disebut kota Pohon Kurma), orang-orang Keni— yaitu keturunan dari mertua Musa— ikut bersama mereka menuju ke padang belantara di bagian selatan wilayah Yehuda. Orang-orang Keni itu menetap di antara suku Yehuda di dekat kota Arad, di Negeb.
And the children of the Kenite, Moses’ father in law, went up out of the city of palm trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which lies in the south of Arad; and they went and dwelled among the people.
17 Kemudian suku Yehuda bergabung dengan suku Simeon untuk menumpas orang-orang Kanaan yang tinggal di kota Zefat. Mereka membinasakan seluruh kota itu sehingga kota itu dinamai Horma, yang artinya ‘musnah’.
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 TUHAN menyertai suku Yehuda sehingga mereka berhasil merebut kota Gaza, Askelon, dan Ekron, serta daerah-daerah di sekitarnya. Yehuda juga berhasil menguasai daerah perbukitan, tetapi mereka tidak dapat mengusir penghuni daerah lembah karena penduduk di sana memiliki kereta-kereta perang dari besi.
Also Judah took Gaza with the coast thereof, and Askelon with the coast thereof, and Ekron with the coast thereof.
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 Kota Hebron diberikan kepada Kaleb, sesuai janji Musa. Dan Kaleb mengusir tiga keluarga besar raksasa keturunan Anakim dari sana.
And they gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses said: and he expelled there the three sons of Anak.
21 Akan tetapi, suku Benyamin tidak mengusir orang Yebus yang tinggal di Yerusalem. Karena itu, orang Yebus masih tinggal di sana bersama suku Benyamin sampai kitab ini ditulis.
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 Kedua suku keturunan Yusuf (yaitu Efraim dan Manasye) menyerang kota Betel (yang sejak zaman dahulu disebut Lus). TUHAN menyertai mereka. Sebelum menyerang, mereka mengutus beberapa orang untuk mengintai kota itu.
And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Bethel: and the LORD was with them.
And the house of Joseph sent to descry Bethel. (Now the name of the city before was Luz.)
24 Ketika para pengintai melihat seorang laki-laki keluar dari kota itu, mereka berkata kepadanya, “Kalau kamu menunjukkan pintu rahasia untuk masuk ke kota ini, kami akan berbaik hati dan tidak membunuhmu.”
And the spies saw a man come forth out of the city, and they said to him, Show us, we pray you, the entrance into the city, and we will show you mercy.
25 Maka laki-laki itu menunjukkan pintu rahasia kota Betel kepada mereka. Lalu Suku Efraim dan suku Manasye menyerang Betel dan membunuh semua penduduk di sana, kecuali laki-laki itu dan seluruh keluarganya.
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 Laki-laki itu pergi ke negeri orang Het. Di sana dia membangun sebuah kota dan menamainya Lus. Itulah nama kota itu sampai saat kitab ini ditulis.
And the man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a city, and called the name thereof Luz: which is the name thereof to this day.
27 Suku Manasye tidak mengusir orang-orang Kanaan yang tinggal di kota Bet Sean, Taanak, Dor, Yibleam, dan Megido serta desa-desa di sekitar kota-kota itu, karena orang-orang Kanaan itu bersikeras untuk tetap tinggal di sana.
Neither did Manasseh drive out the inhabitants of Bethshean and her towns, nor Taanach and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns: but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
28 Ketika bangsa Israel menjadi lebih kuat, mereka memperbudak orang-orang Kanaan itu, tetapi tidak pernah mengusir mereka sepenuhnya.
And it came to pass, when Israel was strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute, and did not utterly drive them out.
29 Suku Efraim juga tidak mengusir orang-orang Kanaan yang tinggal di kota Gezer. Jadi, orang-orang Kanaan itu tetap tinggal di antara suku Efraim.
Neither did Ephraim drive out the Canaanites that dwelled in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelled in Gezer among them.
30 Suku Zebulon tidak mengusir orang-orang Kanaan yang tinggal di kota Kitron dan Nahalol. Jadi, orang-orang Kanaan itu tetap tinggal di antara suku Zebulon, walaupun sebagai budak mereka.
Neither did Zebulun drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelled among them, and became tributaries.
31 Suku Asyer juga tidak mengusir orang-orang Kanaan yang tinggal di kota Ako, Sidon, Ahlab, Aksib, Helba, Afek, dan Rehob.
Neither did Asher drive out 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 Jadi, mereka hidup di antara orang-orang Kanaan itu.
But the Asherites dwelled among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: for they did not drive them out.
33 Suku Naftali tidak mengusir orang-orang Kanaan yang tinggal di kota Bet Semes dan kota Bet Anat. Jadi, suku Naftali tinggal di antara penduduk asli daerah itu, dan akhirnya memperbudak mereka.
Neither did Naphtali drive out the inhabitants of Bethshemesh, nor the inhabitants of Bethanath; but he dwelled among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: nevertheless the inhabitants of Bethshemesh and of Bethanath became tributaries to them.
34 Suku Dan didesak orang Amori mundur ke daerah perbukitan. Orang Amori tidak membiarkan mereka turun ke daerah dataran rendah.
And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the mountain: for they would not suffer them to come down to the valley:
35 Orang Amori yang tinggal di gunung Heres, kota Ayalon, dan kota Saalbim bersikeras untuk tetap tinggal di sana. Di kemudian hari, suku Efraim dan Manasye bertambah kuat dan memperbudak orang Amori itu.
But the Amorites would dwell in mount Heres in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim: yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, so that they became tributaries.
36 Sedangkan di selatan, wilayah bangsa Amori dahulu dimulai dari Sela di timur, melalui Jalur Pendakian Kalajengking, dan terus mendaki ke barat sampai daerah perbukitan.
And the coast of the Amorites was from the going up to Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward.
