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 Joshua died, the Israelites asked the Lord, “Which tribe from among us should go first and attack the Canaanites?”
2 Gospod je rekel: »Juda bo šel gor. Glejte, deželo sem izročil v njegovo roko.«
“Judah is to go first,” the Lord replied. “I have handed the land over to them.”
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 their relatives of the tribe of Simeon, “Come with us to the land that has been allotted to us, and fight together with us against the Canaanites. Then we'll do the same for you and your allotted land.” So the tribe of Simeon joined 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 the Canaanites and Perizzites, and the Lord handed them over in defeat. They killed ten thousand of the enemy at the town of Bezek.
5 V Bezeku sta našla Adoní Bezeka in se borila zoper njega ter usmrtila Kánaance in Perizéjce.
There they confronted Adoni-bezek and fought with him, defeating the Canaanites and Perizzites.
6 Toda Adoní Bezek je pobegnil in sledila sta za njim, ga ujela ter odsekala njegova palca in velika prsta na njegovih stopalih.
Adoni-bezek ran away, but they chased after him and captured him, and then cut off his thumbs and 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, “I had seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off picking up left-overs from under my table. Now God has paid me back in the same way what I did to them.” They took him to Jerusalem where he died.
8 Torej Judovi otroci so se borili zoper Jeruzalem, ga zavzeli, udarili z ostrino meča in zažgali mesto.
The men of Judah attacked Jerusalem and conquered it. They killed the inhabitants with the sword and burned the town down.
9 Potem so Judovi otroci odšli dol, da se borijo zoper Kánaance, ki prebivajo na gori, na jugu in v dolini.
After this the men of Judah went to fight against the Canaanites living in the hill country, in the Negev, and in the foothills of the lowlands.
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.
They attacked the Canaanites who lived Hebron (previously known as Kiriath Arba) and defeated Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.
11 Od tam je odšel zoper prebivalce Debírja. Ime Debírja pa je bilo prej Kirját Sefer.
From there they went on to attack the people living in Debir (previously known as Kiriath Sepher).
12 Kaléb je rekel: »Kdor udari Kirját Sefer in ga zavzame, njemu bom dal svojo hčer Ahso za ženo.«
Caleb announced, “I will give my daughter Acsah in marriage to whoever attacks and captures Kiriath Sepher.”
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, was the one captured it, so he gave him his daughter Acsah in marriage.
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?«
When Acsah came to Othniel, she encouraged him to ask her father for a field. As she got off her donkey, Caleb asked her, “What do you want?”
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.
“Please give me a blessing,” she replied. “You gave me land that's like the desert, so please give me springs of water as well.” So Caleb gave her the upper and 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 with the people of Judah from the city of palms to the wilderness of Judah in the Negev near Arad where they settled among the people.
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.
Then Judah joined Simeon and defeated the Canaanites living in Zephath. They completely destroyed the town, so they named it Hormah.
18 Juda je zavzel tudi Gazo z njenimi pokrajinami, Aškelón z njegovimi pokrajinami in Ekrón z njegovimi pokrajinami.
Judah also captured the towns of Gaza, Ashkelon, and Ekron, each with its surrounding territory.
19 Gospod je bil z Judom in napodil je prebivalce gore, toda ni mogel napoditi prebivalcev doline, ker so imeli železne vozove.
The Lord was with Judah, and they took over the hill country, but they could not drive out the people living on the plain because they had iron chariots.
20 Hebrón so dali Kalébu, kakor je rekel Mojzes, in od tam je izgnal tri Anákove sinove.
As Moses had stipulated, Hebron was given to Caleb, who drove out from it the descendants of 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.
However, Benjamin could not drive out the Jebusites, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so the Jebusites live among the people of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this very day.
22 Jožefova hiša, tudi oni so se dvignili zoper Betel in Gospod je bil z njimi.
The descendants of Joseph went and attacked the town of Bethel, and the Lord was with them.
23 Jožefova hiša je poslala, da razišče Betel. (Torej ime mesta je bilo prej Luz.)
They sent spies to investigate Bethel, which was previously known as 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 leaving the town and told him, “Please show us how to get into town, and we will treat you well.”
25 Ko jim je ta pokazal vhod v mesto, potem so mesto udarili z ostrino meča, toda spustili so moža in vso njegovo družino.
The man showed them the way into the town, and they killed all the inhabitants except the man and his family, whom they let go.
26 Mož je odšel v deželo Hetejcev, zgradil mesto in njegovo ime imenoval Luz, kar je njegovo ime do današnjega dne.
The man moved to the country of the Hittites, and built a town there 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.
However, Manasseh didn't drive out the people living in the towns of Beth Shan, Taanach, Dor, Ibleam, Megiddo and their surrounding villages because the Canaanites insisted on living in the land.
28 Pripetilo se je, ko je bil Izrael močan, da so Kánaance podvrgli davku, niso pa jih popolnoma pognali ven.
When the Israelites grew stronger, they made the Canaanites do forced labor, but they never completely drove them out.
29 Niti ni Efrájim napodil Kánaancev, ki prebivajo v Gezerju, temveč Kánaanci prebivajo med njimi v Gezerju.
Ephraim didn't drive out the Canaanites living in the town of Gezer, so the Canaanites went on living there among them.
30 Niti ni Zábulon napodil prebivalcev Kitróna niti prebivalcev Nahalóla, temveč so Kánaanci prebivali med njimi in postali so davkoplačevalci.
Zebulun didn't drive out the people living in the towns of Kitron and Nahalol, so the Canaanites went on living there among them. However, the Canaanites were made to do forced labor for the people of Zebulun.
31 Niti ni Aser napodil prebivalcev Aka, niti prebivalcev Sidóna, niti Ahalaba, niti Ahzíba, niti Helbe, niti Aféke, niti Rehóba,
Asher didn't drive out the people living in the towns of Acco, Sidon, Ahlab, Achzib, Helbah, Aphik, and Rehob,
32 temveč so Aserjevci prebivali med Kánaanci, prebivalci dežele, kajti niso jih pognali ven.
so the people of Asher went on living there among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land because they hadn't driven 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.
Naphtali didn't drive out the people living in the towns of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath. So the people of Asher went on living there among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land because they hadn't driven them out. However, the people of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath were made to do forced labor for the people of Naphtali.
34 Amoréjci pa so Danove otroke potisnili na goro, kajti niso jim hoteli pustiti, da pridejo dol k dolini,
The Amorites pushed the people of Dan back into the hill country—they did not let them come down into the lowlands.
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.
The Amorites insisted on remaining in Mount Heres, Aijalon, and Shaalbim, but when the tribes of Joseph grew stronger, the Amorites were made to do forced labor.
36 Pokrajina Amoréjcev je bila od vzpona k Akrabímu, od skale in navzgor.
The border with the Amorites ran from Scorpion Pass through Sela and on up from there.
