¹Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass, that the children of Israel asked the LORD, saying, Who shall go up for us against the Canaanites first, to fight against them?

¹Poslije smrti Jošuine upitaše Izraelci Jahvu: "Tko će od nas prvi poći na Kanaance da se protiv njih bori?"

²And the LORD said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.

²A Jahve odgovori: "Neka Juda prvi pođe; u njegove ruke stavljam zemlju."

³And Judah said unto Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with thee into thy lot. So Simeon went with him.

³Tada Juda reče svome bratu Šimunu: "Pođi sa mnom u zemlju koja mi je dosuđena u baštinu; borit ćemo se protiv Kanaanaca, a potom ću se ja uza te boriti na tvojoj zemlji." I Šimun ode s njim.

⁴And Judah went up; and the LORD delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand: and they slew of them in Bezek ten thousand men.

⁴Ode Juda i Jahve im predade u ruke Kanaance i Perižane te pobiše u Bezeku deset tisuća ljudi.

⁵And they found Adonibezek in Bezek: and they fought against him, and they slew the Canaanites and the Perizzites.

⁵U Bezeku zatekoše Adoni-Sedeka, udariše na nj i poraziše Kanaance i Perižane.

⁶But Adonibezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.

⁶Kad je Adoni-Sedek nagnuo u bijeg, gonili su ga, uhvatili ga i odsjekli mu palce na rukama i nogama.

⁷And Adonibezek said, Threescore and ten kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered their meat under my table: as I have done, so God hath requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died.

⁷Tada reče Adoni-Sedek: "Sedamdeset kraljeva odsječenih palaca na rukama i na nogama kupilo je mrvice pod mojim stolom. Kako sam činio, tako mi Bog vraća." Odveli su ga u Jeruzalem i ondje je umro.

⁸Now the children of Judah had fought against Jerusalem, and had taken it, and smitten it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.

⁸Zatim Judini sinovi udariše na Jeruzalem, osvojiše ga, posjekoše mačem žitelje i spališe grad.

⁹And afterward the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites, that dwelt in the mountain, and in the south, and in the valley.

⁹Poslije toga krenuše Judini sinovi da se bore protiv Kanaanaca koji su živjeli u Gorju, Negebu i u Šefeli.

¹⁰And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron: (now the name of Hebron before was Kirjatharba:) and they slew Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.

¹⁰Onda Juda ode na Kanaance koji su živjeli u Hebronu - Hebronu bijaše nekoć ime Kirjat Arba - i ondje potuče Šešaja, Ahimana i Talmaja.

¹¹And from thence he went against the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before was Kirjathsepher:

¹¹Odatle krenu na stanovnike Debira, koji se nekoć zvao Kirjat Sefer.

¹²And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjathsepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.

¹²Tada reče Kaleb: "Tko pokori i zauzme Kirjat Sefer, dat ću mu svoju kćer Aksu za ženu."

¹³And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.

¹³Zauze ga Otniel, sin Kenaza, mlađeg brata Kalebova, i Kaleb mu dade svoju kćer Aksu za ženu.

¹⁴And it came to pass, when she came to him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she lighted from off her ass; and Caleb said unto her, What wilt thou?

¹⁴Kad je prišla mužu, on je nagovori da u svoga oca ište polje. Siđe ona s magarca, a Kaleb je upita: "Što hoćeš?"

¹⁵And she said unto him, Give me a blessing: for thou hast given me a south land; give me also springs of water. And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the nether springs.

¹⁵Ona mu odgovori: "Daj mi blagoslov! Kad si mi dao kraj u Negebu, daj mi onda i koji izvor vode." I Kaleb joj dade Gornje i Donje izvore.

¹⁶And the children of the Kenite, Moses' father in law, went up out of the city of palm trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which lieth in the south of Arad; and they went and dwelt among the people.

¹⁶Sinovi Hobaba Kenijca, tasta Mojsijeva, odoše iz Palmova grada s Judinim sinovima u Judinu pustinju, koja je u Negebu, na jugu od Arada. Tu se nastaniše među Amalečanima.

¹⁷And Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they slew the Canaanites that inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. And the name of the city was called Hormah.

¹⁷Potom ode Juda s bratom Šimunom i pobiše Kanaance koji su živjeli u Sefatu i grad izručiše "heremu", prokletstvu. Zbog toga se grad prozva Horma.

¹⁸Also Judah took Gaza with the coast thereof, and Askelon with the coast thereof, and Ekron with the coast thereof.

¹⁸Ali Juda nije uspio zauzeti Gaze s njenim područjem, ni Aškelona s njegovim područjem, ni Ekrona s njegovim područjem.

¹⁹And the LORD was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.

¹⁹Jahve bijaše s njim te on osvoji gorje, ali ne mogaše potjerati onih u nizini jer imahu željezna kola.

²⁰And they gave Hebron unto Caleb, as Moses said: and he expelled thence the three sons of Anak.

²⁰Kao što bijaše odredio Mojsije, dadoše Hebron Kalebu, koji iz njega otjera tri sina Anakova.

²¹And the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites that inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem unto this day.

²¹A Benjaminovi sinovi ne uspješe otjerati Jebusejaca koji su živjeli u Jeruzalemu i tako Jebusejci ostadoše u Jeruzalemu s Benjaminovim sinovima do dana današnjega.

²²And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Bethel: and the LORD was with them.

²²Krenu i pleme Josipovo na Betel i Jahve bijaše s njima.

²³And the house of Joseph sent to descry Bethel. (Now the name of the city before was Luz.)

²³I pleme Josipovo uze izviđati Betel. Grad se nekoć zvao Luz.

²⁴And the spies saw a man come forth out of the city, and they said unto him, Show us, we pray thee, the entrance into the city, and we will show thee mercy.

²⁴Uhode opaziše čovjeka gdje izlazi iz grada i rekoše mu: "Pokaži nam kuda se može u grad, pa ćemo ti biti milostivi."

²⁵And when he showed them the entrance into the city, they smote the city with the edge of the sword; but they let go the man and all his family.

²⁵On im pokaza kuda mogu u grad. I sve u gradu isjekoše mačem, a onoga čovjeka sa svom njegovom obitelji pustiše da ode.

²⁶And the man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a city, and called the name thereof Luz: which is the name thereof unto this day.

²⁶Čovjek je otišao u zemlju Hetita i ondje sagradio grad i prozvao ga Luz. Tako se zove još i danas.

²⁷Neither did Manasseh drive out the inhabitants of Bethshean and her towns, nor Taanach and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns: but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.

²⁷Manaše nije osvojio Bet-Šeana i njegovih sela ni Tanaka i njegovih sela. Nije potjerao ni stanovnika iz Dora i njegovih sela, ni stanovnika Jibleama i njegovih sela, ni stanovnika Megida i njegovih sela. Tako su Kanaanci ostali i živjeli u toj zemlji.

²⁸And it came to pass, when Israel was strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute, and did not utterly drive them out.

²⁸Kad je Izrael ojačao, nametnuo je Kanaancima tlaku, ali ih nije mogao otjerati.

²⁹Neither did Ephraim drive out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.

²⁹Ni Efrajim nije otjerao Kanaanaca koji su živjeli u Gezeru, tako te su Kanaanci tu živjeli među njima.

³⁰Neither did Zebulun drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became tributaries.

³⁰Zebulun nije otjerao stanovnika Kitrona ni stanovnika Nahalola. Tako su Kanaanci ostali usred Zebulunovih sinova, ali im bijaše nametnuta tlaka.

³¹Neither did Asher drive out the inhabitants of Accho, nor the inhabitants of Zidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob:

³¹Ni Ašer nije otjerao stanovnika Akona, ni stanovnika Sidona, ni onih iz Mahalaba, Akziba, Helbe, Afika i Rehoba.

³²But the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: for they did not drive them out.

³²Ašerovci su ostali tako među Kanaancima, stanovnicima te zemlje, jer ih nisu otjerali.

³³Neither did Naphtali drive out the inhabitants of Bethshemesh, nor the inhabitants of Bethanath; but he dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: nevertheless the inhabitants of Bethshemesh and of Bethanath became tributaries unto them.

³³Naftali nije otjerao stanovnika Bet-Šemeša i Bet-Anata, nego je živio među Kanaancima koji su nastavali tu zemlju, ali je stanovnicima Bet-Šemeša i Bet-Anata nametnuta tlaka.

³⁴And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the mountain: for they would not suffer them to come down to the valley:

³⁴Amorejci su potisnuli Danove sinove u goru i nisu ih puštali da siđu u ravnicu.

³⁵But the Amorites would dwell in mount Heres in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim: yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, so that they became tributaries.

³⁵Amorejci su se zadržali u Har-Heresu, Ajalonu i Šaalbimu, ali kad je ruka Josipova doma ojačala, bila im je nametnuta tlaka.

³⁶And the coast of the Amorites was from the going up to Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward.

³⁶Područje Edomaca pruža se od Akrabimskog uspona do Stijene pa naviše.
