Domarboken 1

1 Efter Josua död frågade Israels barn Herran, och sade: Ho skall ibland oss föra örliget emot de Cananeer?

After the death of Joshua, the people of Israel asked Yahweh, saying, “Who first will attack the Canaanites for us, to fight against them?”

2 Herren sade: Juda skall föra det; si, jag hafver gifvit landet i hans hand.

Yahweh said, “Judah will attack. See, I have given them control of this land.”

3 Då sade Juda till sin broder Simeon: Drag med mig upp i min lott, och låt oss strida emot de Cananeer, så vill jag åter draga med dig i din lott. Så drog Simeon med honom.

The men of Judah said to men of Simeon, their brothers, “Come up with us into our territory that was assigned to us that together we may fight against the Canaanites. We will likewise go with you to the territory that was assigned to you.” So the tribe of Simeon went with them.

4 Då nu Juda drog ditupp, gaf Herren honom de Cananeer och Phereseer i deras händer; och de slogo i Besek tiotusend män.

The men of Judah attacked, and Yahweh gave them victory over the Canaanites and the Perizzites. They killed ten thousand of them at Bezek.

5 Och de funno AdoniBesek i Besek; och stridde emot honom, och slogo de Cananeer och Phereseer.

They found Adoni-Bezek at Bezek, and they fought against him and defeated the Canaanites and the Perizzites.

6 Men AdoniBesek flydde, och de jagade efter honom, fingo honom, och höggo af honom tummarna, både af hans händer och fötter.

But Adoni-Bezek fled, and they pursued him and caught him, and they cut off his thumbs and his big toes.

7 Då sade AdoniBesek: Sjutio Konungar, med afhuggna tummar af deras händer och fötter, hemtade upp under mitt bord; såsom jag nu gjort hafver, så hafver Gud vedergullit mig. Och de förde honom till Jerusalem, der blef han död.

Adoni-Bezek said, “Seventy kings, who had their thumbs and their big toes cut off, gathered their food from under my table. As I have done, even so God has done to me.” They brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.

8 Men Juda barn stridde emot Jerusalem, och vunno det, och slogo det med svärdsegg, och brände staden upp.

The men of Judah fought against the city of Jerusalem and took it. They attacked it with the edge of the sword and they set the city on fire.

9 Sedan drogo Juda barn neder, till att strida emot de Cananeer, som bodde på bergen, och söderut, och i dalarna.

After that, the men of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites who lived in the hill country, in the Negev, and the western foothills.

10 Och Juda drog emot de Cananeer, som bodde i Hebron; men Hebron het i förtiden KiriathArba; och slog Sesai, och Ahiman, och Thalmai;

Judah advanced against the Canaanites who lived in Hebron (the name of Hebron was previously Kiriath Arba), and they defeated Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.

11 Och drog dädan emot Debirs inbyggare; men Debir het i förtiden KiriathSepher.

From there the men of Judah advanced against the inhabitants of Debir (the name of Debir was previously Kiriath Sepher).

12 Och Caleb sade: Den som KiriathSepher slår och vinner, honom vill jag gifva mina dotter Achsa till hustru.

Caleb said, “Whoever attacks Kiriath Sepher and takes it, I will give him Aksah, my daughter, to be his wife.”

13 Då vann det Athniel, Kenas son, Calebs yngsta broders; och han gaf honom sina dotter Achsa till hustru.

Othniel, son of Kenaz (Caleb's younger brother) captured Debir, so Caleb gave him Aksah, his daughter, to be his wife.

14 Och det begaf sig, då hon indrog, vardt henne rådet, att hon skulle bedas en åker af sin fader; och hon gaf sig ifrån åsnanom. Då sade Caleb till henne: Hvad är dig?

Soon Aksah came to Othniel, and she urged him to ask her father to give her a field. As she was getting off her donkey, Caleb asked her, “What can I do for you?”

15 Hon sade: Gif mig en välsignelse; ty du hafver gifvit mig ett söderland; gif mig ock ett, som vatten hafver. Då gaf han henne ett, som vatten hade ofvan och nedan.

She said to him, “Give me a blessing. Since you have given me the land of the Negev, also give me springs of water.” So Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.

16 Och de Keniters barn, Mose svågers, drogo upp utu Palma staden med Juda barn uti Juda öken, som ligger sunnan för den staden Arad; och gingo till, och bodde ibland folket.

The descendants of Moses' father-in-law the Kenite went up from the City of Palms with the people of Judah, into the wilderness of Judah, which is in the Negev, to live with the people of Judah near Arad.

17 Och Juda drog åstad med hans broder Simeon, och slogo de Cananeer i Zephat, och gåfvo honom tillspillo, och kallade staden Horma.

The men of Judah went with the men of Simeon their brothers and they attacked the Canaanites who inhabited Zephath and they completely destroyed it. The name of the city was called Hormah.

18 Dertill vann Juda Gaza med dess tillhöring, och Askelon med dess tillhöring, och Ekron med dess tillhöring.

The people of Judah also captured Gaza and the land around it, Ashkelon and the land around it, and Ekron and the land around it.

19 Och Herren var med Juda, så att han intog berget; förty han kunde icke intaga dem som i dalarna bodde, derföre, att de hade jernvagnar.

Yahweh was with the people of Judah and they took possession of the hill country, but they could not drive out the inhabitants of the plains because they had iron chariots.

20 Och de gåfvo Caleb Hebron, såsom Mose sagt hade; och han fördref derut de tre Enaks söner.

Hebron was given to Caleb (like Moses had said), and he drove out from there the three sons of Anak.

21 Men BenJamins barn fördrefvo icke de Jebuseer, som bodde i Jerusalem; utan de Jebuseer bodde när BenJamins barn i Jerusalem, allt intill denna dag.

But the people of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who inhabited Jerusalem. So the Jebusites have lived with the people of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.

22 Sammalunda drogo ock Josephs barn upp till BethEl; och Herren var med dem.

The house of Joseph prepared to attack Bethel, and Yahweh was with them.

23 Och Josephs hus bespejade BethEl, det tillförene het Lus.

They sent out men to spy on Bethel (the city that was formerly called Luz).

24 Och hållarena fingo se en man gå utu staden, och sade till honom: Visa oss huru vi skole komma in i staden, så vilje vi göra barmhertighet med dig.

The spies saw a man coming out of the city, and they said to him, “Show us, please, how to get into the city, and we will be kind to you.”

25 Och när han hade vist dem hvar de skulle komma in, slogo de staden med svärdsegg; men den mannen och all hans slägt läto de gå.

He showed them a way into the city, and so they attacked the city with the edge of the sword, but they let the man and all his family get away.

26 Då drog den samme mannen in uti de Hetheers land, och byggde en stad, och kallade honom Lus. Den heter ännu i dag så.

Then the man went to the land of the Hittites and built a city and called it Luz, which is its name to this day.

27 Och Manasse fördref icke BethSean med dess döttrar; icke heller Thaanach med dess döttrar, och icke heller de inbyggare i Dor med dess döttrar, ej heller de inbyggare i Jibleam med dess döttrar, ej heller de inbyggare i Megiddo med dess döttrar; och de Cananeer begynte till att bo i de samma landena.

The people of Manasseh did not drive out the people living in the cities of Beth Shan and its villages, or Taanach and its villages, or those who lived in Dor and its villages, or those who lived in Ibleam and its villages, or those who lived in Megiddo and its villages, because the Canaanites were determined to live in that land.

28 Men då Israel kom till magt, gjorde han de Cananeer skattpligtiga, och fördref dem icke.

When Israel became strong, they forced the Canaanites to serve them with hard labor, but they never drove them out completely.

29 Sammalunda fördref icke heller Ephraim de Cananeer, som bodde i Gaser; utan de Cananeer bodde ibland dem i Gaser.

Ephraim did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, so the Canaanites continued to live in Gezer among them.

30 Sebulon fördref icke heller dem som bodde i Kitron och Nahalol; utan de Cananeer bodde ibland dem, och voro skattpligtige.

Zebulun did not drive out the people living in Kitron, or the people living in Nahalol, and so the Canaanites continued to live among them, but Zebulun forced the Canaanites to serve them with hard labor.

31 Asser fördref icke dem som bodde i Acco; icke heller dem som bodde i Zidon, i Ahlab, i Achsib, i Helbah, i Aphik och i Rehob;

Asher did not drive out the people living in Akko, or the people living in Sidon, or those living in Ahlab, Akzib, Helbah, Aphek, or Rehob.

32 Utan de Asseriter bodde ibland de Cananeer, som i landena bodde; ty de fördrefvo dem icke.

So the tribe of Asher lived among the Canaanites (those who lived in the land), because they did not drive them out.

33 Napthali fördref icke dem som bodde i BethSemes, ej heller i BethAnath; utan bodde ibland de Cananeer, som i landena bodde; men de i BethSemes och i BethAnath vordo skattpligtige.

The tribe of Naphtali did not drive out those who were living in Beth Shemesh, or those living in Beth Anath. So the tribe of Naphtali lived among the Canaanites (the people who were living in that land). However, the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh and Beth Anath were forced into hard labor for Naphthali.

34 Men de Amoreer trängde Dans barn in på bergena, och stadde dem icke till, att de kommo neder i dalarna.

The Amorites forced the tribe of Dan to live in the hill country, not allowing them to come down to the plain.

35 Och de Amoreer begynte bo på de bergena Heres i Ajalon och Saalbim; dock vardt Josephs hus hand dem för svår, så att de vordo skattpligtige.

So the Amorites lived at Mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim, but the military might of the house of Joseph conquered them, and they were forced to serve them with hard labor.

36 Och de Amoreers gränsa var der man uppgår till Akrabbim, och ifrå klippone, och ifrå höjdene.

The border of the Amorites ran from the hill of Akrabbim at Sela up into the hill country.
