Книга Судей израилевых 1

1 И бысть по скончании Иисусове, и вопрошаху сынове Израилевы Господа, глаголюще: кто взыдет нам к Хананею воевода, ратовати на них?

After the death of Josue the children of Israel consulted the Lord, saying: Who shall go up before us against the Chanaanite, and shall be the leader of the war?

2 И рече Господь: Иуда взыдет: се, дах землю в руку его.

And the Lord said: Juda shall go up: behold I have delivered the land into his hands.

3 И рече Иуда к Симеону брату своему: взыди со мною в жребий мой, и ополчимся на Хананеа: и пойду и аз с тобою в жребий твой. И пойде с ним Симеон.

And Juda said to Simeon his brother: Come up with me into my lot, and fight against the Chanaanite, that I also may go along with thee into thy lot. And Simeon went with him.

4 И взыде Иуда, и предаде Господь Хананеа и Ферезеа в руце их: и избиша их в Везеце до десяти тысящ мужей.

And Juda went up, and the Lord delivered the Chanaanite, and the Pherezite into their hands: and they slew of them in Bezec ten thousand men.

5 И обретоша Адонивезека в Везеце, и секошася с ним: и избиша Хананеа и Ферезеа.

And they found Adonibezec in Bezec, and fought against him, and they defeated the Chanaanite, and the Pherezite.

6 И побеже Адонивезек: и гнаша вслед его, и яша его, и отсекоша краи рук его и краи ног его.

And Adonibezec fled: and they pursued after him and took him, and cut off his fingers and toes.

7 И рече Адонивезек: седмидесяти царем обсекох краи рук их и краи ног их, и быша собирающе (от крупиц) под трапезою моею: якоже убо сотворих, тако воздаде ми Бог. И приведоша его во Иерусалим, и умре тамо.

And Adonibezec said: Seventy kings having their fingers and toes cut off, gathered up the leavings of the meat under my table: as I have done, so hath God requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.

8 И воеваша сынове Иудины на Иерусалим, и взяша его, и поразиша его острием меча, и град сожгоша огнем.

And the children of Juda besieging Jerusalem, took it, and put it to the sword, and set the whole city on fire.

9 И по сих снидоша сынове Иудины воевати на Хананеа живущаго в горней к югу и в равней.

And afterwards they went down and fought against the Chanaanite, who dwelt in the mountains, and in the south, and in the plains.

10 И пойде Иуда на Хананеа живущаго в Хевроне. И изыде Хеврон со страны: имя же бе Хеврону прежде Кариафарвок-Сефер: и убиша Сесина и Ахимана и Фолмиа, роды Енаковы.

And Juda going forward against the Chanaanite, that dwelt in Hebron (the name whereof was in former times Cariath-Arbe) slew Sesai, and Ahiman, and Tholmai:

11 И взыдоша оттуду к живущым в Давире: имя же Давиру бе прежде Кариафсефер, Град Писмен.

And departing from thence he went to the inhabitants of Dabir, the ancient name of which was Cariath-Sepher, that is, the city of letters.

12 И рече Халев: иже аще поразит Град Писмен и возмет его, дам ему Асхань дщерь мою в жену.

And Caleb said: He that shall take Cariath-Sepher, and lay it waste, to him will I give my daughter Axa to wife.

13 И взя его Гофониил сын Кенеза брата Халевова юнейший, и даде ему Халев Асхань дщерь свою в жену.

And Othoniel the son of Cenez, the younger brother of Caleb, having taken it, he gave him Axa his daughter to wife.

14 И бысть внегда отходити ей, и подвиже ю Гофониил просити у отца своего села, и ропташе (седящи) на осляти, и вопияше со осляти: на землю южную отдал мя еси. И рече ей Халев: что ти есть?

And as she was going on her way her husband admonished her to ask a field of her father. And as she sighed sitting on her ass, Caleb said to her: What aileth thee?

15 И рече ему Асхань: даждь ми благословение: яко на землю южную отдал еси мя, да даси мне и исходища водная. И даде ей Халев по сердцу ея исходища вышних и исходища нижних.

But she answered: Give me a blessing, for thou hast given me a dry land: give me also a watery land. So Caleb gave her the upper and the nether watery ground.

16 И сынове Иофора Кинеева, ужика Моисеова, взыдоша от града Финическа к сыном Иудиным в пустыню сущую на юг Иуды ко исходу Аредову, и поидоша, и вселишася с людьми.

And the children of the Cinite, the kinsman of Moses, went up from the city of palms, with the children of Juda into the wilderness of his lot, which is at the south side of Arad, and they dwelt with him.

17 И пойде Иуда с Симеоном братом своим, и изби Хананеа живущаго в Сефефе, и потребиша его: и прозваша имя граду Потребление.

And Juda went with Simeon his brother, and they together defeated the Chanaanites that dwelt in Sephaath, and slew them. And the name of the city was called Horma, that is, Anathema.

18 И взя Иуда Газу и предел ея, и Аскалона и предел его, и Аккарон и предел его, и Азот и окрестная его.

And Juda took Gaza with its confines, and Ascalon and Accaron with their confines.

19 И бяше Господь со Иудою. И взя гору, яко не возмогоша потребити живущих во юдоли, зане Рихав противоста им, и колесницы железныя бяху там.

And the Lord was with Juda, and he possessed the hill country: but was not able to destroy the inhabitants of the valley, because they had many chariots armed with scythes.

20 И даша Халеву Хеврон, якоже глагола Моисей: и наследствова тамо три грады сынов Енаковых, и изгна оттуду три сыны Енаковы.

And they gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had said, who destroyed out of it the three sons of Enac.

21 И Иевусеа живущаго во Иерусалиме не изгнаша сынове Вениаминовы, и живяше Иевусей с сынми Вениамини во Иерусалиме даже до сего дне.

But the sons of Benjamin did not destroy the Jebusites that inhabited Jerusalem: and the Jebusite hath dwelt with the sons of Benjamin in Jerusalem until this present day.

22 И взыдоша сынове Иосифли и сии в Вефиль: и Господь бяше с ними.

The house of Joseph also went up against Bethel, and the Lord was with them.

23 И ополчишася, и соглядаша (сынове Иосифовы) Вефиль: имя же бе прежде граду Луза.

For when they were besieging the city, which before was called Luza,

24 И видеша стрегущии мужа исходящаго из града, и яша его и рекоша ему: покажи нам вход во град, и сотворим с тобою милость.

They saw a man coming out of the city, and they said to him: Shew us the entrance into the city, and we will shew thee mercy.

25 И показа им вход градный: и поразиша град острием меча, мужа же и сродство его отпустиша.

And when he had shewn them, they smote the city with the edge of the sword: but that man and all his kindred they let go:

26 И отиде муж в землю Хеттиим, и созда тамо град, и прозва имя ему Луза: сие имя ему даже до дне сего.

Who being sent away, went into the land of Hethim, and built there a city, and called it Luza: which is so called until this day.

27 И не разори Манассий Вефсана, иже есть Скифский град, ниже дщерей его, ниже окрестных (предел) его, ниже Фанаха, ниже дщерей его, ниже живущих в Доре, ниже дщерей его, ниже живущих во Иевламе, ниже окрестных его, ниже дщерей его, и живущих в Магеддоне, ниже окрестных его и дщерей его. И нача Хананей жити на земли сей.

Manasses also did not destroy Bethsan, and Thanac with their villages, nor the inhabitants of Dor, and Jeblaam, and Mageddo with their villages. And the Chanaanite began to dwell with them.

28 И бысть егда укрепися Израиль, и сотвори Хананеа данника: изгнанием же не изгна его.

But after Israel was grown strong he made them tributaries, and would not destroy them.

29 И Ефрем не изгна Хананеа живущаго в Газере: и живяше Хананей среде его в Газере, и бысть ему в данника.

Ephraim also did not slay the Chanaanite that dwelt in Gazer, but dwelt with him.

30 И Завулон не изгна живущих в Хевроне и живущих во Аммане: и вселися Хананей посреде их и бысть ему данник.

Zabulon destroyed not the inhabitants of Cetron, and Naalol: but the Chanaanite dwelt among them, and became their tributaries.

31 И Асир не изгна живущих во Акхоре, (и бысть ему данник, ) ни живущих в Доре, ни живущих в Сидоне, ни живущих в Далафе и во Ахазиве, и во Елве и во Афеке и в Роове.

Aser also destroyed not the inhabitants of Accho, and of Sidon, of Ahalab, and of Achazib, and of Helba, and of Aphec, and of Rohob:

32 И вселися Асир посреде Хананеа живущаго на земли (той), зане не возможе изгнати его.

And he dwelt in the midst of the Chanaanites the inhabitants of that land, and did not slay them.

33 И Неффалим не изгна живущих в Вефсамисе, ниже живущих в Вефанахе: и вселися Неффалим среде Хананеа живущаго на земли (сей): живущии же в Вефсамисе и в Вефанахе быша ему данницы.

Nephtali also destroyed not the inhabitants of Bethsames, and of Bethanath: and he dwelt in the midst of the Chanaanites the inhabitants of the land, and the Bethsamites and Bethanites were tributaries to him.

34 И утесни Аморрей сыны Дановы в горе, яко не попусти им низходити во юдоль.

And the Amorrhite straitened the children of Dan in the mountain, and gave them not place to go down to the plain:

35 И нача Аморрей жити в горе Чрепней, идеже медведи и лисицы, в Мирсиноне и в Салавине: и отяготе рука дому Иосифля на Аморреа, и бысть ему данник.

And he dwelt in the mountain Hares, that is, of potsherds, in Aialon and Salebim. And the hand of the house of Joseph was heavy upon him, and he became tributary to him.

36 И предел Аморрейский идумей от восхода Акравиня, от Камене и выше.

And the border of the Amorrhite was from the ascent of the scorpion, the rock, and the higher places.
