Sudije 1
1 A po smrti Isusovoj upitaše sinovi Izrailjevi Gospoda govoreæi: ko æe izmeðu nas iæi prvi na Hananeje da se bije s njima?
After Joshua died, the Israeli people asked Yahweh, “Which [of our tribes] should attack the Canaan people-group first?”
2 I Gospod reèe: Juda neka ide; eto dao sam mu zemlju u ruke.
Yahweh replied, “I will enable the tribe of Judah to defeat [IDM] the Canaan people-group.”
3 A Juda reèe Simeunu bratu svojemu: hajde sa mnom na moj dio da se bijemo s Hananejima; pak æu i ja iæi s tobom na tvoj dio. I poðe Simeun s njim.
The men of Judah went to their fellow Israelis, [the men] from the tribe of Simeon, and said to them, “Come and help us to fight the Canaan people-group [in order that we can take from them] the land [that Yahweh] allotted to us. If you do that, we will go with you [and help you] conquer the people in the land [that Yahweh promised to give to] you.” So the men from the tribe of Simeon went with the men of the tribe of Judah.
4 I izide Juda; i dade im Gospod Hananeje i Ferezeje u ruke, i pobiše ih u Vezeku deset tisuæa ljudi.
When the men of those two tribes attacked, Yahweh enabled them to defeat 10,000 men of the Canaan people-group and the Periz people-group [DOU] at Bezek [city].
5 Jer naðoše Adoni-Vezeka u Vezeku, i udariše na nj, i pobiše Hananeje i Ferezeje.
During the battle they found Adoni-Bezek, the leader of the city,
6 I pobježe Adoni-Vezek, a oni ga potjeraše i uhvativši ga otsjekoše mu palce u ruku i u nogu.
but he [tried to] run away. The Israelis pursued him and caught him. Then they cut off his thumbs and his big toes.
7 Tada reèe Adoni-Vezek: sedamdeset careva otsjeèenijeh palaca u ruku i u nogu kupiše što bješe pod mojim stolom; kako sam èinio, tako mi plati Bog. I odvedoše ga u Jerusalim, i ondje umrije.
Adoni-Bezek said, “[My army captured] 70 kings. We cut off their thumbs and big toes. After that, [we forced] those kings to eat scraps that fell from our table. Now God has (paid me back for/done to me like) [what we did to them].” Then the men of Judah took Adoni-Bezek to Jerusalem, and he died there.
8 Jer sinovi Judini udariše na Jerusalim i uzeše ga, i isjekoše graðane oštrijem maèem, a grad sažegoše ognjem.

Later, the men of Judah went down to fight the Canaan people-group who lived in the hilly area, in the desert to the south, and in the foothills [to the west].
10 I Juda izide na Hananeje koji življahu u Hevronu, a Hevronu bijaše preðe ime Kirijat-Arva; i pobiše Sesaja i Ahimana i Talmaja.
The men of Judah also went to fight against the Canaan people-group who lived in Hebron [city], which at that time was named Kiriath-Arba. They defeated [the armies of kings] Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.
11 A odatle otidoše na Davirane, a Daviru prije bješe ime Kirijat-Sefer.
Then they left that area and went to fight against the people living in Debir [city], which was previously named Kiriath-Sepher.
12 I reèe Halev: ko savlada Kirijat-Sefer i uzme ga, daæu mu Ahsu kæer svoju za ženu.
[Before they attacked the city], Caleb said to them, “If one of you attacks and captures Kiriath-Sepher, I will allow him to marry my daughter.”
13 I uze ga Gotonilo, sin Kenezov, mlaði brat Halevov; i dade mu Ahsu kæer svoju za ženu.
Othniel, who was the son of Caleb’s younger brother Kenaz, captured the city. So Caleb gave his daughter Acsah to him, to become his wife.
14 I kad polažaše, nagovaraše ga da ište u oca njezina polje; pa skoèi s magarca. A Halev joj reèe: što ti je?
When Acsah married Othniel, she told him to ask her father to give him a field. [But she decided to ask him herself. She rode to Caleb’s house on her donkey], and when she got off the donkey, Caleb [could see that something was troubling her. So he] asked her, “What do you want?”
15 A ona mu reèe: daj mi dar; kad si mi dao suhe zemlje, daj mi i izvora vodenijeh. I dade joj Halev izvore gornje i izvore donje.
She replied, “I want you to do a favor for me. You have given me some land in the southern desert, [but it is very dry there]. So please also give me some [land that has] springs of water.” So Caleb gave her some land on higher ground that had a spring, and some land on lower ground that also had a spring.

Yahweh helped the men of Judah to capture the hilly area, but they could not force the people who were living in the plains to leave, because [those people had better weapons—] had iron chariots.

The spies saw a man who was coming out of the city. They said to him, “If you show us a way to get into the city, we will be kind to you [and we will not kill you].”
25 A on im pokaza kuda æe uæi u grad; i isjekoše u gradu sve oštrijem maèem, a onoga èovjeka pustiše sa svom porodicom njegovom.
