< Judges 1 >

1 After Joshua died, the Israeli people asked Yahweh, “Which [of our tribes] should attack the Canaan people-group first?”
Sesudah Yosua mati, orang Israel bertanya kepada TUHAN: "Siapakah dari pada kami yang harus lebih dahulu maju menghadapi orang Kanaan untuk berperang melawan mereka?"
2 Yahweh replied, “I will enable the tribe of Judah to defeat [IDM] the Canaan people-group.”
Firman TUHAN: "Suku Yehudalah yang harus maju; sesungguhnya telah Kuserahkan negeri itu ke dalam tangannya."
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 berkatalah Yehuda kepada Simeon, saudaranya itu: "Majulah bersama-sama dengan aku ke bagian yang telah diundikan kepadaku dan baiklah kita berperang melawan orang Kanaan, maka akupun akan maju bersama-sama dengan engkau ke bagian yang telah diundikan kepadamu." Lalu Simeon maju bersama-sama dengan dia.
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].
Maka majulah suku Yehuda, lalu TUHAN menyerahkan orang Kanaan dan orang Feris ke dalam tangan mereka, dan mereka memukul kalah orang-orang itu dekat Bezek, sepuluh ribu orang banyaknya.
5 During the battle they found Adoni-Bezek, the leader of the city,
Di Bezek mereka menjumpai Adoni-Bezek dan berperang melawan dia, dan mereka memukul kalah orang Kanaan dan orang Feris.
6 but he [tried to] run away. The Israelis pursued him and caught him. Then they cut off his thumbs and his big toes.
Tetapi Adoni-Bezek melarikan diri, lalu mereka mengejarnya, menangkapnya dan memotong ibu jari dari tangannya dan dari 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: "Ada tujuh puluh raja dengan terpotong ibu jari tangan dan kakinya memungut sisa-sisa makanan di bawah mejaku; sesuai dengan yang kulakukan itu, demikianlah dibalaskan Allah kepadaku." Kemudian ia dibawa ke Yerusalem dan mati di sana.
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.
Sesudah itu bani Yehuda berperang melawan Yerusalem, merebutnya lalu memukulnya dengan mata pedang dan memusnahkan kota itu dengan api.
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].
Kemudian bani Yehuda maju berperang melawan orang Kanaan, yang diam di pegunungan, di Tanah Negeb dan di Daerah Bukit.
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.
Lalu suku Yehuda bergerak menyerang orang Kanaan yang diam di Hebron--nama Hebron dahulu adalah Kiryat-Arba--dan memukul kalah 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 sana mereka bergerak menyerang penduduk Debir. Nama Debir dahulu adalah 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.”
Berkatalah Kaleb: "Siapa yang mengalahkan dan merebut Kiryat-Sefer, kepadanya akan kuberikan Akhsa, anakku, menjadi isterinya."
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.
Dan Otniel, anak Kenas adik Kaleb, merebut kota itu; lalu Kaleb memberikan Akhsa, anaknya, kepadanya menjadi isterinya.
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?”
Ketika perempuan itu tiba, dibujuknya suaminya untuk meminta sebidang ladang kepada ayahnya. Maka turunlah perempuan itu dari keledainya, lalu berkatalah Kaleb kepadanya: "Ada apa?"
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.
Jawabnya kepadanya: "Berikanlah kepadaku suatu hadiah; telah kauberikan kepadaku tanah yang gersang, berikanlah juga kepadaku mata air." Lalu Kaleb memberikan kepadanya mata air yang di hulu dan mata air yang di 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 Hobab, ipar Musa, orang Keni itu, maju bersama-sama dengan bani Yehuda dari kota pohon korma ke padang gurun Yehuda di Tanah Negeb dekat Arad; lalu mereka menetap di antara penduduk di sana.
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’].
Yehuda maju bersama-sama dengan Simeon, saudaranya itu, lalu mereka memukul kalah orang Kanaan, penduduk Zefat; mereka menumpas kota itu. Sebab itu kota itu dinamai Horma.
18 The men of Judah also captured Gaza, Ashkelon, and Ekron [cities] and all the land that is near those cities.
Selanjutnya suku Yehuda merebut Gaza dengan daerahnya, Askelon dengan daerahnya dan Ekron dengan daerahnya.
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.
Dan TUHAN menyertai suku Yehuda, sehingga mereka menduduki pegunungan itu; tetapi mereka tidak dapat menghalau penduduk yang di lembah, sebab orang-orang ini mempunyai kereta-kereta besi.
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.
Kepada Kaleb telah diberikan Hebron, seperti yang dikatakan Musa dahulu, dan dari sana telah dihalaukannya anak Enak yang tiga 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.
Tetapi orang Yebus, penduduk kota Yerusalem, tidak dihalau oleh bani Benyamin, jadi orang Yebus itu masih diam bersama-sama dengan bani Benyamin di Yerusalem sampai sekarang.
22 The men of the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh went to fight against [the men of] Bethel [city], and Yahweh helped them.
Keturunan Yusuf juga maju menyerang Betel, dan TUHAN menyertai mereka.
23 They sent some spies to [find out everything that they could find out about] Bethel, which was previously called Luz.
Keturunan Yusuf menyuruh orang mengintai Betel itu--nama kota itu dahulu adalah Lus.
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].”
Ketika pengintai-pengintai itu melihat seorang keluar dari kota itu, maka berkatalah mereka kepadanya: "Tolong tunjukkan bagaimana kami dapat memasuki kota ini, maka kami akan memperlakukan engkau sebagai sahabat."
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.
Lalu ditunjukkannyalah kepada mereka bagaimana mereka dapat memasuki kota itu, dan mereka memukul kota itu dengan mata pedang, tetapi orang itu dengan seluruh kaumnya dibiarkan mereka pergi.
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.
Orang itu pergi ke negeri orang Het dan mendirikan di sana sebuah kota yang dinamainya Lus. Demikianlah nama kota itu sampai sekarang.
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 menghalau penduduk Bet-Sean dan penduduk segala anak kotanya, penduduk Taanakh dengan segala anak kotanya, penduduk Dor dengan segala anak kotanya, penduduk Yibleam dengan segala anak kotanya, dan penduduk Megido dengan segala anak kotanya, sebab orang Kanaan itu berkeras untuk tetap diam di negeri itu.
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.
Setelah orang Israel menjadi kuat, mereka membuat orang Kanaan itu menjadi orang rodi dan tidak menghalau mereka sama sekali.
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.
Suku Efraimpun tidak menghalau orang Kanaan yang diam di Gezer, sehingga orang Kanaan itu tetap diam di tengah-tengah mereka di Gezer.
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.
Suku Zebulon tidak menghalau penduduk Kitron dan penduduk Nahalol, sehingga orang Kanaan itu tetap diam di tengah-tengah mereka, walaupun sebagai orang rodi.
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.
Suku Asyer tidak menghalau penduduk Ako, penduduk Sidon serta Ahlab, Akhzib, Helba, Afek dan Rehob,
32 So the people of the tribe of Asher lived among them.
sehingga orang Asyer itu diam di tengah-tengah orang Kanaan, penduduk asli di negeri itu, sebab orang-orang itu tidak dihalaunya.
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.
Suku Naftali tidak menghalau penduduk Bet-Semes dan penduduk Bet-Anat, sehingga mereka diam di tengah-tengah orang Kanaan, penduduk asli di negeri itu; tetapi penduduk Bet-Semes dan Bet-Anat itu menjadi orang rodi bagi mereka.
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.
Orang Amori mendesak bani Dan ke sebelah pegunungan dan tidak membiarkan mereka turun ke lembah,
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.
dan orang Amori itu berkeras untuk tetap diam di Har-Heres, di Ayalon dan di Saalbim, walaupun mereka mendapat tekanan berat dari keturunan Yusuf, sebab mereka menjadi orang rodi.
36 The land where the Amor people-group lived extended from Scorpion Pass [toward the west] beyond Sela [town], up into the hilly area.
Daerah orang Amori itu mulai dari pendakian Akrabim, dari Sela, terus ke atas.
