Dommernes 1
1 Då Josva var avliden, spurde Israels-sønerne Herren: «Kven av oss skal taka fyrst ut i striden mot kananitarne?»
It happened after the death of Joshua, the children of Israel asked of the LORD, saying, "Who should go up first to fight for us against the Canaanites?"
2 Og Herren svara: «Juda skal taka ut. No gjev eg landet i hans hender!»
The LORD said, "Judah should go up. Look, I have delivered the land into his hand."
3 Då sagde Juda med Simeon, bror sin: «Ver med meg til min lut, og lat oss båe strida mot kananitarne, so skal eg vera med deg til din lut.» Og Simeon vart med honom.
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 So tok Juda-sønerne ut, og Herren gav kananitarne og perizitarne i henderne deira; dei slo deim i Bezek og felte ti tusund mann.
Judah went up; and the LORD delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand: and they struck of them in Bezek ten thousand men.
5 I Bezek møtte dei Adoni-Bezek, og dei stridde mot honom og slo kananitarne og perizitarne.
They found Adoni-Bezek in Bezek; and they fought against him, and they struck the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
6 Adoni-Bezek rømde; men dei sette etter honom, og tok honom og hogg av honom tumarsfingrarne og stortærne.
But Adoni-Bezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.
7 Då sagde han: «Sytti kongar med avhogne tumarsfingrar og stortær sanka smular under mitt bord. No hev Gud gjeve meg like for det eg gjorde!» So førde dei honom til Jerusalem, og der døydde han.
Adoni-Bezek said, "Seventy kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, scavenged under my table: as I have done, so God has requited me." They brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
8 Juda-sønerne kringsette Jerusalem, og tok byen, og øydde honom med odd og egg, og sette eld i husi.
The people of Judah fought against Jerusalem, and took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.
9 Sidan for dei ned og stridde mot dei kananitarne som budde i fjell-landet og i Sudlandet og i låglandet.
Afterward the people of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites who lived in the hill country, and in the Negev, and in the lowland.
10 Fyrst gjekk dei mot kananitarne som budde i Hebron - Hebron heitte fyrr i tidi Kirjat-Arba - og dei slo Sesai og Ahiman og Talmai.
And Judah went against the Canaanites who lived in Hebron, and Hebron came out in opposition (now the name of Hebron before was Kiriath Arba), and they struck Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.
11 So gjekk dei mot Debir-buarne. - Debir heitte fyrr i tidi Kirjat-Sefer -

12 Då sagde Kaleb: «Den som kann taka Kirjat-Sefer, skal få Aksa, dotter mi.»
Caleb said, "He who strikes Kiriath Sepher, and takes it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter as wife."
13 Otniel, son åt Kenaz, Kalebs yngre bror, tok byen, og fekk Aksa, dotter hans Kaleb.
Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife.
14 Då so ho skulde flytja heim til honom, eggja ho honom til å beda far hennar um ein jordveg, og sjølv hoppa ho ned av asnet. «Kva er det du vil?» spurde Kaleb.
It happened, when she came to him, that she got him to ask her father for a field. And she got off from her donkey, and Caleb said to her, "What would you like?"
15 «Lat meg få ei velfargåva!» svara ho. «Du hev gift meg burt til dette turre Sudlandet; gjev meg no vatskjeldor!» So gav han henne Øvregullot og Nedregullot.
She said to him, "Give me a blessing; since you have given me the land in the Negev, give me also springs of water." So Caleb gave her according to her heart the upper springs and the lower springs.
16 Etterkomarane etter keniten, verbror åt Moses, for med Juda-sønerne frå Palmestaden upp til Judaheidi som ligg sunnanfor Arad, og vart buande der saman med folket.
