Judges 1
1 After Joshua died, the Israeli people asked Yahweh, “Which [of our tribes] should attack the Canaan people-group first?”
Sesudah Yosua meninggal, umat Israel bertanya kepada TUHAN, "TUHAN, suku yang mana dari kami harus pertama-tama pergi menyerang orang Kanaan?"
2 Yahweh replied, “I will enable the tribe of Judah to defeat [IDM] the Canaan people-group.”
TUHAN menjawab, "Suku Yehuda. Mereka sudah Kuberikan kekuasaan untuk merebut negeri itu."
3 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.
Lalu kata suku Yehuda kepada suku Simeon, "Bantulah kami memerangi orang Kanaan dan merebut wilayah yang ditentukan TUHAN untuk kami. Nanti kami pun akan membantu kalian merebut wilayah yang ditentukan TUHAN untuk kalian." Maka suku Simeon
4 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].
dan Yehuda pergi bertempur bersama-sama. Dan TUHAN memberikan kepada mereka kemenangan atas orang Kanaan dan orang Feris. Sepuluh ribu orang tentara musuh tewas di Bezek.
5 During the battle they found Adoni-Bezek, the leader of the city,
Mereka menemukan Adoni-Bezek, raja negeri itu, dan menyerang dia.
6 but he [tried to] run away. The Israelis pursued him and caught him. Then they cut off his thumbs and his big toes.
Ia lari, tetapi mereka mengejar dan menangkap dia lalu memotong ibu jari tangan dan kakinya.
7 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.
Kata Adoni-Bezek, "Dahulu tujuh puluh raja sudah kupotong ibu jari tangan dan kakinya, lalu kubiarkan mereka makan sisa-sisa makanan yang jatuh dari mejaku. Sekarang Allah memperlakukan aku sama seperti aku memperlakukan mereka." Adoni-Bezek kemudian diangkut ke Yerusalem, dan di sanalah ia meninggal.
8 The army of Judah fought against the men of Jerusalem, and they captured the city. With their swords they killed [the people who lived there] and they burned [the houses in] the city.
Orang Yehuda menyerang Yerusalem, lalu merebut dan membakar kota itu serta membunuh penduduknya.
9 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].
Setelah itu mereka pergi lagi menyerang orang Kanaan yang tinggal di daerah pegunungan, dan di lereng-lereng bukit; juga yang tinggal di daerah kering di sebelah selatan,
10 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.
dan di kota Hebron, yaitu kota yang dahulu dinamakan Kiryat-Arba. Di situ orang Yehuda mengalahkan kaum Sesai, Ahiman dan Talmai.
11 Then they left that area and went to fight against the people living in Debir [city], which was previously named Kiriath-Sepher.
Dari Hebron, orang Yehuda pergi menyerbu kota Debir, yang pada waktu itu bernama Kiryat-Sefer.
12 [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.”
Salah seorang dari suku Yehuda itu, yang bernama Kaleb, berkata, "Barangsiapa dapat merebut Kiryat-Sefer, ia boleh kawin dengan anak perempuan saya Akhsa."
13 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.
Otniel, anak dari adik Kaleb yang bernama Kenas, merebut kota itu. Maka Kaleb memberikan Akhsa, anaknya, menjadi istri Otniel.
14 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?”
Pada hari perkawinan mereka, Otniel mendesak Akhsa supaya meminta sebidang tanah dari ayahnya. Maka turunlah Akhsa dari keledainya, lalu Kaleb menanyakan kepadanya apa yang diinginkannya.
15 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.
Akhsa menjawab, "Saya ingin beberapa sumber air, sebab tanah yang ayah berikan kepada saya itu berada di daerah yang kering." Maka Kaleb memberikan kepadanya sumber air di bagian hulu dan sumber air di bagian hilir.
16 The people of the Ken people-group who were descendants of Moses’ father-in-law left Jericho, which was called ‘The City of Palm Trees’. They went with some of the men of Judah to live with them in the southern desert area, near Arad [city].
Keturunan ayah mertua Musa, yaitu orang-orang Keni, mengikuti orang Yehuda keluar dari Yerikho, kota kurma, dan pergi ke daerah yang gersang di sebelah selatan Arad di Yehuda. Di sana mereka menetap di tengah-tengah bangsa Amalek.
17 The men of Judah and their fellow Israelis from the tribe of Simeon defeated the people of the Canaan people-group who lived in Zephath [city]. They completely destroyed the city and gave it a new name, Hormah, [which means ‘complete destruction’].
Kemudian bersama-sama dengan suku Simeon, suku Yehuda itu pergi menyerang dan mengalahkan orang Kanaan yang tinggal di kota Zefat. Mereka mengutuki kota itu, kemudian memusnahkannya lalu menamakannya Horma.
18 The men of Judah also captured Gaza, Ashkelon, and Ekron [cities] and all the land that is near those cities.
TUHAN menolong orang Yehuda sehingga mereka dapat merebut daerah pegunungan. Tetapi mereka tidak dapat merebut Gaza, Askelon ataupun Ekron dengan daerah-daerah di sekitarnya, karena bangsa-bangsa yang tinggal di sepanjang pesisir mempunyai kereta-kereta perang dari besi; karena itu orang Yehuda tidak dapat mengusir mereka.
19 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.
20 Hebron [city] was given to Caleb because Moses had promised him that he could have that city. And Caleb forced the three clans descended from Anak to leave that area.
Seperti yang telah diperintahkan oleh Musa, Hebron diberikan kepada Kaleb, sebab dahulu tiga golongan kaum keturunan Enak sudah diusir Kaleb dari kota itu.
21 But the people of the tribe of Benjamin could not force the people of the Jebus people-group to leave Jerusalem. So, since that time the people of the Jebus people-group have lived in Jerusalem with the people of the tribe of Benjamin.
Suku Benyamin tidak dapat mengusir orang Yebus keluar dari kota Yerusalem. Itu sebabnya orang Yebus masih tinggal di sana bersama-sama dengan orang Benyamin.
22 The men of the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh went to fight against [the men of] Bethel [city], and Yahweh helped them.
Suku Efraim dan Manasye keturunan Yusuf, pergi menyerang kota Betel, yang ketika itu bernama Lus. Dan TUHAN menolong mereka. Pada waktu mata-mata diutus menuju ke kota itu,
23 They sent some spies to [find out everything that they could find out about] Bethel, which was previously called Luz.
24 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].”
mereka bertemu dengan seorang laki-laki yang datang dari kota. Kata mereka kepadanya, "Kalau engkau mau menolong kami supaya kami dapat masuk ke dalam kota ini, kami akan memperlakukanmu dengan baik."
25 So the man showed them a way to enter the city. The men of the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh entered the city and killed all the people with their swords, but they did not kill the man [who showed them how to get into the city], and they did not kill his family.
Maka orang itu menunjukkan kepada mereka jalan masuk ke kota itu. Lalu orang-orang Efraim dan Manasye memasuki kota itu serta membunuh seluruh penduduknya, kecuali orang itu dengan sanak-keluarganya.
26 That man went to the area where the descendants of Heth lived, and built a city. He named the city Luz, and that is still the name of that city.
Ia kemudian pindah ke negeri orang Het, lalu membangun sebuah kota di situ dan menamakannya Lus. Kota itu masih tetap bernama demikian.
27 There were people of the Canaan people-group who lived in Beth-Shan, Taanach, Dor, Ibleam, and Megiddo [cities] and in the surrounding villages. [The men of] the tribe of Manasseh did not force those people to leave those towns, because the people of the Canaan people-group were determined to stay there.
Suku Manasye tidak mengusir penduduk kota Bet-Sean, Taanakh, Dor, Yibleam dan Megido dengan kampung-kampung di dekatnya. Jadi orang Kanaan tetap tinggal di situ.
28 Later, the Israelis became (stronger/more numerous), and they forced the people of the Canaan people-group to work for them [as their slaves], but they did not force all the people of the Canaan people-group to leave their land.
Memang setelah orang Israel bertambah kuat, mereka memaksa orang Kanaan bekerja untuk mereka, tetapi mereka juga tidak mengusir orang-orang Kanaan itu sama sekali dari situ.
29 [The men of] the tribe of Ephraim did not force the people of the Canaan people-group to leave Gezer [city]. So the people of the Canaan people-group continued to live with the people of the tribe of Ephraim.
Di kota Gezer, suku Efraim tidak mengusir orang Kanaan, penduduk kota itu. Jadi, orang Kanaan masih tetap tinggal disitu bersama-sama dengan mereka.
30 [The men of] the tribe of Zebulun did nor compel the people of the Canaan people-group who were living in Kitron and Nahalol [cities] to leave. They stayed there and lived among the people of the tribe of Zebulun, but the people of Zebulun forced them to work for them as their slaves.
Penduduk kota Kitron dan Nahalol tidak pula diusir oleh suku Zebulon. Itu sebabnya bangsa Kanaan masih tetap tinggal di situ bersama-sama dengan mereka, tetapi orang-orang Kanaan itu dipaksa bekerja untuk mereka.
31 [The men of] the tribe of Asher did not force the people of the Canaan people-group who lived in Acco, Sidon, Ahlab, Aczib, Helbah, Aphek and Rehob [cities] to leave.
Penduduk kota Ako, Sidon, Ahlab, Akhzib, Helba, Afek, dan Rehob juga tidak diusir oleh suku Asyer.
32 So the people of the tribe of Asher lived among them.
Itu sebabnya orang Kanaan, penduduk asli negeri itu masih tinggal di situ bersama-sama dengan orang Asyer.
33 [The men of] the tribe of Naphtali did not compel the people who lived in Beth-Shemesh and Beth-Anath [cities] to leave, so the people in those two cities continued to live there, but the people of the Canaan people-group were forced to work as the slaves of the people of the tribe of Naphtali.
Penduduk kota Bet-Semes dan Bet-Anat pun tidak diusir oleh suku Naftali. Itu sebabnya orang Kanaan, penduduk asli negeri itu masih tinggal di situ bersama-sama dengan orang Naftali. Tetapi, mereka dipaksa bekerja untuk orang Naftali.
34 The people of the Amor people-group forced the people of the tribe of Dan to live in the hills. They did not allow them to come down [and live] on the plain.
Bangsa Amori masih tetap tinggal di Ayalon, Saalbim dan Gunung Heres, sebab suku Dan didesak oleh mereka ke daerah pegunungan, dan tidak dibiarkan turun ke daerah dataran rendah. Tetapi bangsa Amori itu selalu ditekan oleh suku Efraim dan Manasye serta dipaksa bekerja untuk kedua suku itu.
35 The people of the Amor people-group were determined to stay in Heres Mountain and in Aijalon and Shaalbim [cities]. But when the Israelis became (stronger/more numerous), they forced the people of the Amor people-group to work as their slaves.
36 The land where the Amor people-group lived extended from Scorpion Pass [toward the west] beyond Sela [town], up into the hilly area.
Di sebelah utara Sela, batas daerah orang-orang Amori melewati Pendakian Akrabim.
