Dommernes 1
1 Efter Josvas død spurte Israels barn Herren: Hvem av oss skal først dra op mot kana'anittene og stride mot dem?
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 Og Herren sa: Juda skal dra op; jeg har gitt landet i hans hånd.
And the Lord said, Judas shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.
3 Da sa Juda til sin bror Simeon: Dra op med mig til min lodd og la oss stride mot kana'anittene! Så skal jeg og dra med dig til din lodd. Og Simeon drog med ham.
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 Så drog Juda op, og Herren gav kana'anittene og ferisittene i deres hånd; de slo dem i Besek, ti tusen mann.
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 I Besek traff de på Adoni-Besek og stred mot ham; de slo kana'anittene og ferisittene,
And they overtook Adonibezek in Bezek, and fought against him; and they struck the Chananite and the Pherezite.
6 men Adoni-Besek flyktet, og de forfulgte ham og grep ham og avhugg hans tommelfingrer og tommeltær.
And Adonibezek fled, and they pursued after him, and took him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.
7 Da sa Adoni-Besek: Sytti konger med avhugne tommelfingrer og tommeltær sanket smuler under mitt bord; som jeg gjorde, har Gud gjort mot mig igjen. Og de førte ham til Jerusalem, og der døde han.
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 Og Judas barn stred mot Jerusalem og inntok det og slo det med sverdets egg, og de satte ild på byen.
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 Siden drog Judas barn ned for å krige mot de kana'anitter som bodde i fjellbygdene og i sydlandet og i lavlandet.
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 Og Juda drog imot de kana'anitter som bodde i Hebron - Hebrons navn var før Kirjat-Arba - og de slo Sesai og Akiman og Talmai.
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 Derfra drog han mot innbyggerne i Debir - Debirs navn var før Kirjat-Sefer.
And they went up thence to the inhabitants of Dabir; but the name of Dabir was before Cariathsepher, the city of Letters.
12 Og Kaleb sa: Den som vinner over Kirjat-Sefer og inntar det, ham vil jeg gi min datter Aksa til hustru.
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 Og kenisitten Otniel, Kalebs yngre bror, inntok det; og han gav ham sin datter Aksa til hustru.
And Gothoniel the younger son of Kenez the brother of Chaleb took it; and Chaleb gave him his daughter Ascha to wife.
14 Og da hun kom (til sin manns hus), egget hun ham til å be hennes far om en jordeiendom, og hun sprang ned av asenet. Da sa Kaleb til henne: Hvad vil du?
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 Hun svarte: Gi mig en avskjedsgave! Du har giftet mig bort til dette tørre sydlandet, gi mig nu vannkilder! Så gav Kaleb henne de øvre og de nedre kilder.
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 Efterkommerne av kenitten, Moses' svoger, drog med Judas barn fra Palmestaden op til Juda ørken, som ligger sønnenfor Arad; og de kom og bosatte sig blandt folket der.
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 Siden drog Juda ut med sin bror Simeon, og de slo de kana'anitter som bodde i Sefat; de slo byen med bann; derfor kalte de den Horma.
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 Og Juda inntok Gasa med tilhørende bygder og Askalon med tilhørende bygder og Ekron med tilhørende bygder.
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 Og Herren var med Juda, så han tok fjellbygdene i eie; men han var ikke i stand til å drive bort innbyggerne i dalen, for de hadde jernvogner.
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 Og de gav Hebron til Kaleb, således som Moses hadde sagt, og han drev de tre Anaks sønner bort derfra.
And they gave Chebron to Chaleb, as Moses said; and thence he inherited the three cities of the children of Enac.

22 Josefs barn drog også ut; de gikk imot Betel, og Herren var med dem.
And the sons of Joseph, they also went up to Baethel; and the Lord was with them.
23 Og Josefs barn sendte speidere til Betel - byen hette før Luz -
And they encamped and surveyed Baethel: and the name of the city before was Luza.
24 og speiderne fikk se en mann som gikk ut av byen, og de sa til ham: Vis oss hvor vi kan komme inn i byen! Så vil vi vise barmhjertighet mot dig.
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 Og han viste dem hvor de kunde komme inn i byen, og de slo byen med sverdets egg; men mannen og hele hans slekt lot de gå.
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.

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