Judges 1
1 Now after the death of Joshua, the children of Israel made request to the Lord, saying, Who is to go up first to make war for us against the Canaanites?
Efter Josuas Død adspurgte Israelitterne HERREN og sagde: "Hvem af os skal først drage op til Kamp mod Kana'anæerne?"
2 And the Lord said, Judah is to go up: see, I have given the land into his hands.
HERREN svarede: "Det skal Juda; se, jeg giver Landet i hans Hånd!"
3 Then Judah said to Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my heritage, so that we may make war against the Canaanites; and I will then go with you into your heritage. So Simeon went with him.
Juda sagde da til sin Broder Simeon: "Drag op med mig i min Lod og lad os sammen kæmpe med Kana'anæerne, så skal jeg også drage med dig ind i din Lod!" Så gik da Simeon med ham.
4 And Judah went up; and the Lord gave the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hands; and they overcame ten thousand of them in Bezek.
Juda drog nu op, og HERREN gav Kana'anæerne og Perizziterne i deres Hånd, så de slog dem i Bezek, 10000 Mand.
5 And they came across Adoni-zedek, and made war on him; and they overcame the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
Og da de stødte på Adonibezek i Bezek, angreb de ham og slog Kana'anæerne og Perizziterne.
6 But Adoni-zedek went in flight; and they went after him and overtook him, and had his thumbs and his great toes cut off.
Adonibezek flygtede, men de satte efter ham, og da de havde grebet ham, huggede de Tommelfingrene og Tommeltæerne af ham.
7 And Adoni-zedek said, Seventy kings, whose thumbs and great toes had been cut off, got broken meat under my table: as I have done, so has God done to me in full. And they took him to Jerusalem, and he came to his end there.
Da sagde Adonibezek: "Halvfjerdsindstyve Konger med afhugne Tommelfingre og Tommeltæer havde jeg stadig til at sanke Smuler under mit Bord; hvad jeg har gjort, gengælder Gud mig!" Derpå førte man ham til Jerusalem, og der døde han.
8 Then the children of Judah made an attack on Jerusalem, and took it, burning down the town after they had put its people to the sword without mercy.
Og Judæerne angreb og indtog Jerusalem, huggede Indbyggerne ned og stak Ild på Byen.
9 After that the children of Judah went down to make war on the Canaanites living in the hill-country and in the south and in the lowlands.
Senere drog Judæerne ned til Kamp mod Kana'anæerne i Bjergene, i Sydlandet og i Lavlandet.
10 And Caleb went against the Canaanites of Hebron: (now in earlier times Hebron was named Kiriath-arba: ) and he put Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai to the sword.
Og Juda drog mod Kana'anæerne i Hebron - Hebron hed fordum Kirjat Arba og slog Sjesjaj, Ahiman og Talmaj.
11 And from there he went up against the people of Debir. (Now the name of Debir in earlier times was Kiriath-sepher.)
Derfra drog han op mod Indbyggerne i Debir, der fordum hed Kirjaf-Sefer.
12 And Caleb said, I will give Achsah, my daughter, as wife to the man who overcomes Kiriath-sepher and takes it.
Da sagde Kaleb: "Den, som slår Kirjat Sefer og indtager det, ham giver jeg min Datter Aksa til Hustru!"
13 And Othniel, the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it; so he gave him his daughter Achsah for his wife.
Og da Kenizziten Otniel, Kalebs yngre Broder, indtog det, gav han ham sin Datter Aksa til Hustru.
14 Now when she came to him, he put into her mind the idea of requesting a field from her father: and she got down from her ass; and Caleb said to her, What is it?
Men da hun kom til ham, æggede han hende til at bede sin Fader om Agerland. Hun sprang da ned af Æselet, og Kaleb spurgte hende: "Hvad vil du?"
15 And she said to him, Give me a blessing; because you have put me in a dry south-land, now give me springs of water. So Caleb gave her the higher spring and the lower spring.
Hun svarede: "Giv mig en Velsignelse! Siden du har bortgiftet mig i det tørre Sydland, må du give mig Vandkilder!" Da gav Kaleb hende de øvre og de nedre Vandkilder.
16 Now Hobab the Kenite, Moses' father-in-law, had come up out of the town of palm-trees, with the children of Judah, into the waste land of Arad; and he went and was living among the Amalekites;
Moses's Svigerfaders, Keniten Kobabs, Sønner, drog sammen med Judæerne op fra Palmestaden til Arads Ørken og bosatte sig hos Amalekiterne.
17 And Judah went with Simeon, his brother, and overcame the Canaanites living in Zephath, and put it under the curse; and he gave the town the name of Hormah.
Juda drog derpå ud med sin Broder Simeon, og de slog Kana'anæerne, som boede i Zefat, og lagde Band på Byen; derfor blev den kaldt Horma.
18 Then Judah took Gaza and its limit, and Ashkelon and its limit, and Ekron and its limit.
Og Juda indtog Gaza med dets Område, Askalon med dets Område og Ekron med dets Område.
19 And the Lord was with Judah; and he took the hill-country for his heritage; but he was unable to make the people of the valley go out, for they had war-carriages of iron.
Og HERREN var med Juda, så han tog Bjerglandet i Besiddelse; Lavlandets Indbyggere kunde han nemlig ikke drive bort, fordi de havde Jernvogne.
20 And they gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had said; and he took the land of the three sons of Anak, driving them out from there.
Haleb gav de Hebron, som Moses havde sagt. Og han drev de tre Anaksønner bort derfra.
21 And the children of Judah did not make the Jebusites who were living in Jerusalem go out; the Jebusites are still living with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem.
Men Jebusiterne, som boede i Jerusalem, fik Judæerne ikke drevet bort, og Jebusiterne bor den Dag i Dag i Jerusalem sammen med Judæerne.
22 And the family of Joseph went up against Beth-el, and the Lord was with them.
Men også Josefs Hus drog op og gik mod Betel; og HERREN var med dem.
23 So they sent men to make a search round Beth-el. (Now the name of the town in earlier times was Luz.)
Da Josefs Hus udspejdede Betel Byen hed fordum Luz
24 And the watchers saw a man coming out of the town, and said to him, If you will make clear to us the way into the town, we will be kind to you.
fik Spejderne Øje på en Mand, der gik ud af Byen; og de sagde til ham: "Vis os, hvor vi kan komme ind i Byen, så vil vi skåne dig!"
25 So he made clear to them the way into the town, and they put it to the sword; but they let the man and all his family get away safe.
Da viste han dem, hvor de kunde komme ind i Byen. Derpå huggede de dens Indbyggere ned, men Manden og hele hans. Slægt lod de drage bort,
26 And he went into the land of the Hittites, building a town there and naming it Luz: which is its name to this day.
og Manden begav sig til Hetiternes Land og byggede en By, som han kaldte Luz; og det hedder den endnu den Dag i Dag.
27 And Manasseh did not take away the land of the people of Beth-shean and its daughter-towns, or of Taanach and its daughter-towns, or of the people of Dor and its daughter-towns, or of the people of Ibleam and its daughter-towns, or of the people of Megiddo and its daughter-towns, driving them out; but the Canaanites would go on living in that land.
Men Indbyggerne i Bet-Sjean og dets Småbyer og i Ta'anak og dets Småbyer, Indbyggerne i Dor og dets Småbyer, i Jibleam og dets Småbyer og i Megiddo og dets Småbyer fik Manasse ikke drevet bort; det lykkedes Kana'anæerne at blive boende i disse Egne.
28 And whenever Israel became strong, they put the Canaanites to forced work, without driving them out completely.
Da Israelitterne blev de stærkeste, gjorde de Kana'anæerne til Hoveriarbejdere, men drev dem ikke bort.
29 And Ephraim did not make the Canaanites who were living in Gezer go out; but the Canaanites went on living in Gezer among them.
Efraim fik ikke Kana'anæerne, som boede i Gezer, drevet bort; men Kana'anæerne blev boende midt iblandt dem i Gezer.
30 Zebulun did not make the people of Kitron or the people of Nahalol go out; but the Canaanites went on living among them and were put to forced work.
Zebulon fik ikke Indbyggerne i Kitron og Nahalol drevet bort; men Kana'anæerne blev boende midt iblandt dem og blev Hoveriarbejdere.
31 And Asher did not take the land of the people of Acco, or Zidon, or Ahlab, or Achzib, or Helbah, or Aphik, or Rehob, driving them out;
Aser fik ikke Indbyggerne i Akko drevet bort, ej heller Indbyggerne i Zidon, Mahalab, Akzib, Afik og Rehob.
32 But the Asherites went on living among the Canaanites, the people of the land, without driving them out.
Men Aseriterne bosatte sig midt iblandt Kana'anæerne, der boede i Landet, thi de magtede ikke at drive dem bort.
33 Naphtali did not take the land of the people of Beth-shemesh or of Beth-anath, driving them out; but he was living among the Canaanites in the land; however, the people of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath were put to forced work.
Naftali fik ikke Indbyggerne i Bet Sjemesj og Bet-Anat drevet bort, men bosatte sig midt iblandt Kana'anæerne, der boede i Landet: Men Indbyggerne i Bet Sjemesj og Bet Anat blev deres Hoveriarbejdere.
34 And the children of Dan were forced into the hill-country by the Amorites, who would not let them come down into the valley;
Amoriterne trængte Daniterne op i Bjergene og lod dem ikke komme ned i Lavlandet;
35 For the Amorites would go on living in Mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim; but the children of Joseph became stronger than they, and put them to forced work.
og det lykkedes Amoriterne at blive boende i Har-Heres, Ajjalon og Sja'albim. Men senere, da Josefs Hus fik Overtaget, blev de Hoveriarbejdere.
36 And the limit of the Edomites went from the slope of Akrabbim from Sela and up.
Edomiternes Landemærke strakte sig fra Akrabbimpasset til Sela og højere op.
