Sodniki 1
1 Torej po Józuetovi smrti se je pripetilo, da so Izraelovi otroci vprašali Gospoda, rekoč: »Kdo bo za nas najprej šel gor zoper Kánaance, da se bori zoper njih?«
After the death of Joshua, the people of Israel asked Yahweh, saying, “Who first will attack the Canaanites for us, to fight against them?”
2 Gospod je rekel: »Juda bo šel gor. Glejte, deželo sem izročil v njegovo roko.«
Yahweh said, “Judah will attack. See, I have given them control of this land.”
3 Juda je svojemu bratu Simeonu rekel: »Pridi gor z menoj v moj žreb, da se bova lahko borila zoper Kánaance in prav tako bom tudi jaz šel s teboj v tvoj žreb.« Tako je Simeon odšel z njim.
The men of Judah said to men of Simeon, their brothers, “Come up with us into our territory that was assigned to us that together we may fight against the Canaanites. We will likewise go with you to the territory that was assigned to you.” So the tribe of Simeon went with them.
4 Juda je odšel gor in Gospod je Kánaance in Perizéjce izročil v njuno roko in izmed njih sta v Bezeku usmrtila deset tisoč mož.
The men of Judah attacked, and Yahweh gave them victory over the Canaanites and the Perizzites. They killed ten thousand of them at Bezek.
5 V Bezeku sta našla Adoní Bezeka in se borila zoper njega ter usmrtila Kánaance in Perizéjce.
They found Adoni-Bezek at Bezek, and they fought against him and defeated the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
6 Toda Adoní Bezek je pobegnil in sledila sta za njim, ga ujela ter odsekala njegova palca in velika prsta na njegovih stopalih.
But Adoni-Bezek fled, and they pursued him and caught him, and they cut off his thumbs and his big toes.
7 Adoní Bezek je rekel: »Sedemdeset kraljev, ki imajo odsekane svoje palce in svoje palce na stopalih, je svojo hrano pobiralo pod mojo mizo. Kakor sem jaz storil, tako mi je Bog poplačal.« In odvedla sta ga v Jeruzalem in tam je umrl.
Adoni-Bezek said, “Seventy kings, who had their thumbs and their big toes cut off, gathered their food from under my table. As I have done, even so God has done to me.” They brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
8 Torej Judovi otroci so se borili zoper Jeruzalem, ga zavzeli, udarili z ostrino meča in zažgali mesto.
The men of Judah fought against the city of Jerusalem and took it. They attacked it with the edge of the sword and they set the city on fire.
9 Potem so Judovi otroci odšli dol, da se borijo zoper Kánaance, ki prebivajo na gori, na jugu in v dolini.
After that, the men of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites who lived in the hill country, in the Negev, and the western foothills.
10 Juda je odšel zoper Kánaance, ki prebivajo v Hebrónu (torej ime Hebróna je bilo prej Kirját Arba) in usmrtili so Šešája, Ahimána in Talmája.
Judah advanced against the Canaanites who lived in Hebron (the name of Hebron was previously Kiriath Arba), and they defeated Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.
11 Od tam je odšel zoper prebivalce Debírja. Ime Debírja pa je bilo prej Kirját Sefer.
From there the men of Judah advanced against the inhabitants of Debir (the name of Debir was previously Kiriath Sepher).
12 Kaléb je rekel: »Kdor udari Kirját Sefer in ga zavzame, njemu bom dal svojo hčer Ahso za ženo.«
Caleb said, “Whoever attacks Kiriath Sepher and takes it, I will give him Aksah, my daughter, to be his wife.”
13 Zavzel ga je Kenázov sin Otniél, Kalébov mlajši brat in dal mu je svojo hčer Ahso za ženo.
Othniel, son of Kenaz (Caleb's younger brother) captured Debir, so Caleb gave him Aksah, his daughter, to be his wife.
14 Ko je prišla k njemu se je pripetilo, da ga je primorala, da prosi od svojega očeta polje in razjahala je svojega osla in Kaléb ji je rekel: »Kaj hočeš?«
Soon Aksah came to Othniel, and she urged him to ask her father to give her a field. As she was getting off her donkey, Caleb asked her, “What can I do for you?”
15 Rekla mu je: »Daj mi blagoslov, kajti dal si mi južno deželo; daj mi tudi vodne izvire.« In Kaléb ji je dal gornje izvire in spodnje izvire.
She said to him, “Give me a blessing. Since you have given me the land of the Negev, also give me springs of water.” So Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
16 Otroci Kenéjca, Mojzesovega tasta, so z Judovimi otroki odšli gor iz mesta palmovih dreves v Judovo divjino, ki leži na jugu Aráda in odšli so ter prebivali med ljudstvom.
The descendants of Moses' father-in-law the Kenite went up from the City of Palms with the people of Judah, into the wilderness of Judah, which is in the Negev, to live with the people of Judah near Arad.
17 Juda je odšel s svojim bratom Simeonom in usmrtili so Kánaance, ki naseljujejo Cefát in ga popolnoma uničili. Ime mesta se je imenovalo Horma.
The men of Judah went with the men of Simeon their brothers and they attacked the Canaanites who inhabited Zephath and they completely destroyed it. The name of the city was called Hormah.
18 Juda je zavzel tudi Gazo z njenimi pokrajinami, Aškelón z njegovimi pokrajinami in Ekrón z njegovimi pokrajinami.
The people of Judah also captured Gaza and the land around it, Ashkelon and the land around it, and Ekron and the land around it.
19 Gospod je bil z Judom in napodil je prebivalce gore, toda ni mogel napoditi prebivalcev doline, ker so imeli železne vozove.
Yahweh was with the people of Judah and they took possession of the hill country, but they could not drive out the inhabitants of the plains because they had iron chariots.
20 Hebrón so dali Kalébu, kakor je rekel Mojzes, in od tam je izgnal tri Anákove sinove.
Hebron was given to Caleb (like Moses had said), and he drove out from there the three sons of Anak.
21 Benjaminovi otroci pa niso napodili Jebusejcev, ki so naseljevali Jeruzalem, temveč Jebusejci prebivajo z Benjaminovimi otroki v Jeruzalemu do današnjega dne.

22 Jožefova hiša, tudi oni so se dvignili zoper Betel in Gospod je bil z njimi.
The house of Joseph prepared to attack Bethel, and Yahweh was with them.
23 Jožefova hiša je poslala, da razišče Betel. (Torej ime mesta je bilo prej Luz.)
They sent out men to spy on Bethel (the city that was formerly called Luz).
24 Ogledniki so videli moža priti iz mesta in mu rekli: »Pokaži nam, prosimo te, vhod v mesto, mi pa ti bomo izkazali usmiljenje.«
The spies saw a man coming out of the city, and they said to him, “Show us, please, how to get into the city, and we will be kind to you.”
25 Ko jim je ta pokazal vhod v mesto, potem so mesto udarili z ostrino meča, toda spustili so moža in vso njegovo družino.
He showed them a way into the city, and so they attacked the city with the edge of the sword, but they let the man and all his family get away.

Then the man went to the land of the Hittites and built a city and called it Luz, which is its name to this day.
27 Niti Manáse ni napodil prebivalcev Bet Šeána in njegovih mest, niti Taanáha in njegovih mest, niti prebivalcev Dora in njegovih mest, niti prebivalcev Jibleáma in njegovih mest, niti prebivalcev Megída in njenih mest, temveč so Kánaanci hoteli prebivati v tej deželi.
The people of Manasseh did not drive out the people living in the cities of Beth Shan and its villages, or Taanach and its villages, or those who lived in Dor and its villages, or those who lived in Ibleam and its villages, or those who lived in Megiddo and its villages, because the Canaanites were determined to live in that land.
28 Pripetilo se je, ko je bil Izrael močan, da so Kánaance podvrgli davku, niso pa jih popolnoma pognali ven.
When Israel became strong, they forced the Canaanites to serve them with hard labor, but they never drove them out completely.

Ephraim did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, so the Canaanites continued to live in Gezer among them.
30 Niti ni Zábulon napodil prebivalcev Kitróna niti prebivalcev Nahalóla, temveč so Kánaanci prebivali med njimi in postali so davkoplačevalci.
Zebulun did not drive out the people living in Kitron, or the people living in Nahalol, and so the Canaanites continued to live among them, but Zebulun forced the Canaanites to serve them with hard labor.

Asher did not drive out the people living in Akko, or the people living in Sidon, or those living in Ahlab, Akzib, Helbah, Aphek, or Rehob.
32 temveč so Aserjevci prebivali med Kánaanci, prebivalci dežele, kajti niso jih pognali ven.
So the tribe of Asher lived among the Canaanites (those who lived in the land), because they did not drive them out.
33 Niti ni Neftáli napodil prebivalcev Bet Šemeša niti prebivalcev Bet Anáta, temveč je prebival med Kánaanci, prebivalci dežele. Kljub temu so jim prebivalci Bet Šemeša in Bet Anáta postali davkoplačevalci.
The tribe of Naphtali did not drive out those who were living in Beth Shemesh, or those living in Beth Anath. So the tribe of Naphtali lived among the Canaanites (the people who were living in that land). However, the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh and Beth Anath were forced into hard labor for Naphthali.
34 Amoréjci pa so Danove otroke potisnili na goro, kajti niso jim hoteli pustiti, da pridejo dol k dolini,
The Amorites forced the tribe of Dan to live in the hill country, not allowing them to come down to the plain.
35 temveč so Amoréjci hoteli prebivati na gori Heres v Ajalónu in v Šaalbímu. Vendar je roka Jožefove hiše prevladala, tako da so postali davkoplačevalci.
So the Amorites lived at Mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim, but the military might of the house of Joseph conquered them, and they were forced to serve them with hard labor.
