< Hakim-hakim 1 >

1 Sesudah Yosua meninggal, umat Israel bertanya kepada TUHAN, "TUHAN, suku yang mana dari kami harus pertama-tama pergi menyerang orang Kanaan?"
After the death of Joshua, the sons of Israel consulted the Lord, saying, “Who will ascend before us, against the Canaanite, and who will be the commander of the war?”
2 TUHAN menjawab, "Suku Yehuda. Mereka sudah Kuberikan kekuasaan untuk merebut negeri itu."
And the Lord said: “Judah shall ascend. Behold, I have delivered the land into his hands.”
3 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
And Judah said to his brother Simeon, “Go up with me to my lot, and fight against the Canaanite, so that I also may go forth with you to your lot.” And Simeon went with him.
4 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.
And Judah went up, and the Lord delivered the Canaanite, as well as the Perizzite, into their hands. And they struck down ten thousand of the men at Bezek.
5 Mereka menemukan Adoni-Bezek, raja negeri itu, dan menyerang dia.
And they found Adonibezek at Bezek, and they fought against him, and they struck down the Canaanite and the Perizzite.
6 Ia lari, tetapi mereka mengejar dan menangkap dia lalu memotong ibu jari tangan dan kakinya.
Then Adonibezek fled. And they pursued him and captured him, and they cut off the ends of his hands and feet.
7 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.
And Adonibezek said: “Seventy kings, with the ends of their hands and feet amputated, have been gathering the remnants of food under my table. Just as I have done, so has God repaid me.” And they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
8 Orang Yehuda menyerang Yerusalem, lalu merebut dan membakar kota itu serta membunuh penduduknya.
Then the sons of Judah, besieging Jerusalem, seized it. And they struck it with edge of the sword, delivering the entire city to be burned.
9 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,
And afterward, descending, they fought against the Canaanites who were living in the mountains, and in the south, and in the plains.
10 dan di kota Hebron, yaitu kota yang dahulu dinamakan Kiryat-Arba. Di situ orang Yehuda mengalahkan kaum Sesai, Ahiman dan Talmai.
And Judah, going forth against the Canaanites who were living at Hebron, (the name of which from antiquity was Kiriath-Arba) struck down Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.
11 Dari Hebron, orang Yehuda pergi menyerbu kota Debir, yang pada waktu itu bernama Kiryat-Sefer.
And continuing on from there, he went to the inhabitants of Debir, the old name of which was Kiriath-Sepher, that is, the City of Letters.
12 Salah seorang dari suku Yehuda itu, yang bernama Kaleb, berkata, "Barangsiapa dapat merebut Kiryat-Sefer, ia boleh kawin dengan anak perempuan saya Akhsa."
And Caleb said, “Whoever will strike Kiriath-Sepher, and will lay waste to it, I will give to him my daughter Achsah as wife.”
13 Otniel, anak dari adik Kaleb yang bernama Kenas, merebut kota itu. Maka Kaleb memberikan Akhsa, anaknya, menjadi istri Otniel.
And when Othniel, the son of Kenaz, a younger brother of Caleb, had seized it, he gave his daughter Achsah to him in marriage.
14 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.
And as she was traveling on a journey, her husband admonished her, so that she would request a field from her father. And since she had sighed while sitting on her donkey, Caleb said to her, “What is it?”
15 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.
But she responded: “Give a blessing to me. For you have given me a dry land. Also give a watered land.” Therefore, Caleb gave to her the upper watered land and the lower watered land.
16 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.
Now the sons of the Kenite, the relative of Moses, ascended from the City of Palms, with the sons of Judah, into the wilderness of his lot, which is toward the south of Arad. And they lived with him.
17 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.
Then Judah went out with his brother Simeon, and together they struck the Canaanites who were living at Zephath, and they put them to death. And the name of the city was called Hormah, that is, Anathema.
18 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.
And Judah seized Gaza, with its parts, and Ashkelon as well as Ekron, with their borders.
And the Lord was with Judah, and he possessed the mountains. But he was not able to wipe out the inhabitants of the valley. For they abounded with chariots armed with scythes.
20 Seperti yang telah diperintahkan oleh Musa, Hebron diberikan kepada Kaleb, sebab dahulu tiga golongan kaum keturunan Enak sudah diusir Kaleb dari kota itu.
And just as Moses had said, they gave Hebron to Caleb, who destroyed out of it the three sons of Anak.
21 Suku Benyamin tidak dapat mengusir orang Yebus keluar dari kota Yerusalem. Itu sebabnya orang Yebus masih tinggal di sana bersama-sama dengan orang Benyamin.
But the sons of Benjamin did not wipe out the Jebusite inhabitants of Jerusalem. And the Jebusite has lived with the sons of Benjamin in Jerusalem, even to the present day.
22 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,
The house of Joseph also ascended against Bethel, and the Lord was with them.
For when they were besieging the city, which was previously called Luz,
24 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."
they saw a man departing from the city, and they said to him, “Reveal to us the entrance to the city, and we will act with mercy toward you.”
25 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.
And when he had revealed it to them, they struck the city with the edge of the sword. But that man, and all his relatives, they released.
26 Ia kemudian pindah ke negeri orang Het, lalu membangun sebuah kota di situ dan menamakannya Lus. Kota itu masih tetap bernama demikian.
And having been sent away, he went out to the land of the Hittites, and he built a city there, and he called it Luz. And so it is called, even to the present day.
27 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.
Likewise, Manasseh did not destroy Bethshean and Taanach, with their villages, nor the inhabitants of Dor and Ibleam and Megiddo, with their villages. And the Canaanite began to live with them.
28 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.
Then, after Israel had grown strong, he made them tributaries, but he was not willing to destroy them.
29 Di kota Gezer, suku Efraim tidak mengusir orang Kanaan, penduduk kota itu. Jadi, orang Kanaan masih tetap tinggal disitu bersama-sama dengan mereka.
And now Ephraim did not put to death the Canaanite, who was living at Gezer; instead, he lived with him.
30 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.
Zebulun did not wipe out the inhabitants of Kitron and of Nahalal. Instead, the Canaanite lived in their midst and became their tributary.
31 Penduduk kota Ako, Sidon, Ahlab, Akhzib, Helba, Afek, dan Rehob juga tidak diusir oleh suku Asyer.
Likewise, Asher did not destroy the inhabitants of Acco and Sidon, Ahlab and Achzib, and Helbah, and Aphik, and Rehob.
32 Itu sebabnya orang Kanaan, penduduk asli negeri itu masih tinggal di situ bersama-sama dengan orang Asyer.
And he lived in the midst of the Canaanites, the inhabitants of that land, for he did not put them to death.
33 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.
Naphtali also did not wipe out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and Bethanath. And he lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land. And the Beth-shemeshites and Bethanathites were tributaries to him.
34 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.
And the Amorite hemmed in the sons of Dan on the mountain, and did not give them a place, so that they might descend to the flatlands.
And he lived on the mountain at Har-heres, which is translated as ‘resembling brick,’ and at Aijalon and Sha-alabbin. But the hand of the house of Joseph was very heavy, and he became a tributary to him.
36 Di sebelah utara Sela, batas daerah orang-orang Amori melewati Pendakian Akrabim.
Now the border of the Amorite was from the Ascent of the Scorpion, to the Rock and the higher places.
