¹In zgodi se po smrti Jozuetovi, da vprašajo sinovi Izraelovi GOSPODA in reko: Kdo izmed nas naj gre prvi proti Kanaancem, da se ž njimi vojskuje?

¹And it cometh to pass, after the death of Joshua, that the sons of Israel ask at Jehovah, saying, `Who doth go up for us unto the Canaanite, at the commencement, to fight against it?`

²In GOSPOD veli: Juda naj gre! glej, dal sem deželo v roko njegovo.

²And Jehovah saith, `Judah doth go up; lo, I have given the land into his hand.`

³Juda pa reče svojemu bratu Simeonu: Pojdi z menoj v moj delež, da se bojujemo s Kanaanci; in jaz tudi pojdem s teboj v tvoj delež. Šel je torej Simeon ž njim.

³And Judah saith to Simeon his brother, `Go up with me into my lot, and we fight against the Canaanite — and I have gone, even I, with thee into thy lot;` and Simeon goeth with him.

⁴In Juda se odpravi v boj, in GOSPOD je dal Kanaance in Ferizejce v njih roke, in pobili so jih v Bezeku deset tisoč mož.

⁴And Judah goeth up, and Jehovah giveth the Canaanite and the Perizzite into their hand, and they smite them in Bezek — ten thousand men;

⁵In zasačijo Adonibezeka v Bezeku ter se ž njim bojujejo, in porazijo Kanaance in Ferizejce.

⁵and they find Adoni-Bezek in Bezek, and fight against him, and smite the Canaanite and the Perizzite.

⁶Adonibezek pa zbeži, in zasledujoč ga primejo in mu odsekajo palce na rokah in nogah.

⁶And Adoni-Bezek fleeth, and they pursue after him, and seize him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes,

⁷Tedaj reče Adonibezek: Sedemdeset kraljev z odsekanimi palci na rokah in nogah je pobiralo hrano pod mojo mizo; kakor sem storil, tako mi je poplačal Bog. In ga pripeljejo v Jeruzalem, in ondi umre.

⁷and Adoni-Bezek saith, `Seventy kings — their thumbs and their great toes cut off — have been gathering under my table; as I have done so hath God repaid to me;` and they bring him in to Jerusalem, and he dieth there.

⁸Bojevali so se namreč sinovi Judovi zoper Jeruzalem ter ga dobili in jih pobili z ostrino meča in mesto zažgali.

⁸And the sons of Judah fight against Jerusalem, and capture it, and smite it by the mouth of the sword, and the city they have sent into fire;

⁹Potem so šli sinovi Judovi doli bojevat se s Kanaanci, ki so prebivali na gorah in na jugu in v nižavi.

⁹and afterwards have the sons of Judah gone down to fight against the Canaanite, inhabiting the hill-country, and the south, and the low country;

¹⁰Tudi je šel Juda zoper Kanaance, ki so prebivali v Hebronu (Hebron pa se je nekdaj imenoval Arbovo mesto); in pobili so Sesaja in Ahimana in Talmaja.

¹⁰and Judah goeth unto the Canaanite who is dwelling in Hebron (and the name of Hebron formerly [is] Kirjath-Arba), and they smite Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.

¹¹In odtod je šel zoper prebivalce v Debirju. (Debir pa se je nekdaj imenoval Kirjat-sefer.)

¹¹And he goeth thence unto the inhabitants of Debir (and the name of Debir formerly [is] Kirjath-Sepher),

¹²In Kaleb reče: Kdor udari Kirjat-sefer in ga vzame, njemu dam svojo hčer Akso za ženo.

¹²and Caleb saith, `He who smiteth Kirjath-Sepher — and hath captured it — then I have given to him Achsah my daughter for a wife.`

¹³In dobil ga je Otniel, sin Kenaza, ki je bil Kalebov mlajši brat. In dal mu je hčer svojo Akso za ženo.

¹³And Othniel son of Kenaz, younger brother of Caleb, doth capture it, and he giveth to him Achsah his daughter for a wife.

¹⁴In zgodi se, ko je šla k njemu, da ga je izpodbujala, naj prosi njenega očeta njive. In spustila se je z osla; in Kaleb ji reče: Kaj ti je?

¹⁴And it cometh to pass in her coming in, that she persuadeth him to ask from her father the field, and she lighteth from off the ass, and Caleb saith to her, `What — to thee?`

¹⁵Ona mu reče: Daj mi blagoslov; kajti dal si mi južni kraj, daj mi tudi studence voda. In Kaleb ji je dal studence gornje in dolnje.

¹⁵And she saith to him, `Give to me a blessing; when the south land thou hast given me — then thou hast given to me springs of water; and Caleb giveth to her the upper springs and the lower springs.

¹⁶In sinovi Kenejca, Mojzesovega svaka, so šli gori iz Palmovega mesta z Judovimi sinovi v Judejsko puščavo, ki je južno od Arada; in so šli in prebivali z ondotnim ljudstvom.

¹⁶And the sons of the Kenite, father-in-law of Moses, have gone up out of the city of palms with the sons of Judah [to] the wilderness of Judah, which [is] in the south of Arad, and they go and dwell with the people.

¹⁷Juda pa je šel s svojim bratom Simeonom, in udarijo Kanaance, ki so prebivali v Zefatu, in jih pokončajo s prokletjem. In imenovali so tisto mesto Hormo.

¹⁷And Judah goeth with Simeon his brother, and they smite the Canaanite inhabiting Zephath, and devote it; and [one] calleth the name of the city Hormah.

¹⁸Juda je tudi dobil Gazo ž njeno pokrajino in Askelon ž njegovo pokrajino in Ekron ž njegovo pokrajino.

¹⁸And Judah captureth Gaza and its border, and Askelon and its border, and Ekron and its border;

¹⁹In GOSPOD je bil z Judo, da si je prilastil gorovje; zakaj prebivalcev v dolini ni mogel pregnati, ker so imeli železne vozove.

¹⁹and Jehovah is with Judah, and he occupieth the hill-country, but not to dispossess the inhabitants of the valley, for they have chariots of iron.

²⁰In dali so Kalebu Hebron, kakor je bil govoril Mojzes; on je izgnal odtod tri sinove Enakove.

²⁰And they give to Caleb Hebron, as Moses hath spoken, and he dispossesseth thence the three sons of Anak.

²¹And the Jebusite, inhabiting Jerusalem, the sons of Benjamin have not dispossessed; and the Jebusite dwelleth with the sons of Benjamin, in Jerusalem, till this day.

²²Enako je šla tudi Jožefova hiša gori zoper Betel, in GOSPOD je bil ž njimi.

²²And the house of Joseph go up — even they — to Beth-El, and Jehovah [is] with them;

²³In Jožefova hiša pošlje ogledovat Betel; prej se je pa mesto imenovalo Luz.

²³and the house of Joseph cause [men] to spy about Beth-El (and the name of the city formerly is Luz),

²⁴In ogledovalci vidijo moža, gredočega iz mesta, pa mu reko: Pokaži nam, prosimo, kod pridemo v mesto, in izkažemo ti milost.

²⁴and the watchers see a man coming out from the city, and say to him, `Shew us, we pray thee, the entrance of the city, and we have done with thee kindness.`

²⁵In pokaže jim vhod v mesto, in oni udarijo mesto z ostrino meča; tistega moža in vso rodovino njegovo pa izpustijo.

²⁵And he sheweth them the entrance of the city, and they smite the city by the mouth of the sword, and the man and all his family they have sent away;

²⁶Mož pa gre v deželo Hetejcev in sezida mesto ter ga imenuje Luz; tako mu je ime do tega dne.

²⁶and the man goeth to the land of the Hittites, and buildeth a city, and calleth its name Luz — it [is] its name unto this day.

²⁷Manase pa ni pregnal prebivalcev v Betseanu in po njegovih podložnih vaseh, tudi ne v Taanahu in po njegovih podložnih vaseh, ne prebivalcev v Doru in po njegovih podložnih vaseh, ne prebivalcev v Ibleamu in po njegovih podložnih vaseh, ne prebivalcev v Megidu in po njegovih podložnih vaseh; in Kanaancem se je zljubilo ostati v tisti deželi.
