¹It happened after the death of Joshua, the children of Israel asked of Yahweh, “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “LORD” (all caps) in other translations. saying, “Who should go up for us first against the Canaanites, to fight against them?”

¹Pärast Joosua surma küsisid Iisraeli lapsed Issandalt, öeldes: 'Kes meist peab esimesena minema sõtta kaananlaste vastu?'

²Yahweh said, “Judah shall go up. Behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.”

²Ja Issand vastas: 'Mingu Juuda! Vaata, ma annan maa tema kätte.'

³Judah said to Simeon his brother, “Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with you into your lot.” So Simeon went with him.

³Siis ütles Juuda oma vennale Siimeonile: 'Tule koos minuga minu liisuosale ja sõdime kaananlaste vastu, siis tulen ka mina koos sinuga sinu liisuosale!' Ja Siimeon läks koos temaga.

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

⁴Juuda läks ja Issand andis nende kätte kaananlased ja perislased; Besekis lõid nad neist maha kümme tuhat meest.

⁵They found Adoni-Bezek in Bezek; and they fought against him, and they struck the Canaanites and the Perizzites.

⁵Besekis kohtasid nad Adoni-Besekit, sõdisid tema vastu ning lõid kaananlasi ja perislasi.

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

⁶Adoni-Besek aga põgenes ja nad ajasid teda taga ning võtsid ta kinni ja raiusid tal pöidlad kätelt ja suured varbad jalgadelt.

⁷Adoni-Bezek said, “Seventy kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, scavenged under my table: as I have done, so God The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “Elohim.” has requited me.” They brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.

⁷Ja Adoni-Besek ütles: 'Seitsekümmend kuningat, kelle kätelt olid raiutud pöidlad ja jalgadelt suured varbad, olid korjamas raasukesi mu laua all. Nõnda nagu ma ise tegin, nõnda tasus Jumal mulle.' Ta viidi Jeruusalemma ja ta suri seal.

⁸The children of Judah fought against Jerusalem, and took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.

⁸Ja juudalased sõdisid Jeruusalemma vastu, vallutasid selle, lõid elanikud maha mõõgateraga ja põletasid linna tulega.

⁹Afterward the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites who lived in the hill country, and in the South, and in the lowland.

⁹Seejärel läksid juudalased sõdima kaananlaste vastu, kes elasid mäestikus, Lõunamaal ja madalikul.

¹⁰Judah went against the Canaanites who lived in Hebron (now the name of Hebron before was Kiriath Arba); and they struck Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.

¹⁰Nii läks Juuda kaananlaste vastu, kes elasid Hebronis; Hebroni nimi oli muiste Kirjat-Arba; ja nad lõid Seesaid, Ahimani ja Talmaid.

¹¹From there he went against the inhabitants of Debir. (Now the name of Debir before was Kiriath Sepher.)

¹¹Sealt läks ta Debiri elanike vastu; Debiri nimi oli muiste Kirjat-Seefer.

¹²Caleb said, “He who strikes Kiriath Sepher, and takes it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter as wife.”

¹²Ja Kaaleb ütles: 'Kes Kirjat-Seeferit lööb ja selle vallutab, sellele ma annan naiseks oma tütre Aksa.'

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

¹³Kui Otniel, Kaalebi noorema venna Kenase poeg, selle vallutas, siis ta andis oma tütre Aksa temale naiseks.

¹⁴It happened, when she came, that she got him to ask her father for a field: and she alighted from off her donkey; and Caleb said to her, “What would you like?”

¹⁴Ja kui Aksa tuli, siis Otniel kehutas teda oma isalt põldu nõudma. Kui Aksa eesli seljast maha hüppas, küsis Kaaleb: 'Mida sa soovid?'

¹⁵She said to him, “Give me a blessing; for that you have set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water.” Then Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.

¹⁵Ja ta vastas: 'Anna mulle üks kingitus! Et sa mind oled andnud kuivale maale, siis anna mulle ka veeallikaid!' Ja Kaaleb andis temale ülemised allikad ja alumised allikad.

¹⁶The children of the Kenite, Moses’ brother-in-law, went up out of the city of palm trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which is in the south of Arad; and they went and lived with the people.

¹⁶Ja Moosese äia, keenlase lapsed olid tulnud Palmidelinnast koos juudalastega Juuda kõrbe, mis on Aradi Negebis; nad läksid ja elasid sealse rahva hulgas.

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

¹⁷Ja Juuda läks oma venna Siimeoniga ja nad lõid neid kaananlasi, kes elasid Sefatis, ja hävitasid linna sootuks; ja linnale pandi nimeks Horma.

¹⁸Also Judah took Gaza with its border, and Ashkelon with its border, and Ekron with its border.

¹⁸Ja Juuda vallutas Assa ja selle maa-ala, Askeloni ja selle maa-ala, Ekroni ja selle maa-ala.

¹⁹Yahweh was with Judah; and drove out the inhabitants of the hill country; for he could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.

¹⁹Issand oli Juudaga ja seetõttu ta vallutas mäestiku; aga ta ei suutnud ära ajada oru elanikke, sest neil olid raudsõjavankrid.

²⁰They gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had spoken: and he drove out there the three sons of Anak.

²⁰Ja Kaalebile anti Hebron, nagu Mooses oli käskinud, ja tema ajas sealt ära kolm anaklast.

²¹The children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.

²¹Aga benjaminlased ei ajanud ära jebuuslasi, kes elasid Jeruusalemmas, ja nii elavad jebuuslased Jeruusalemmas koos benjaminlastega tänapäevani.

²²The house of Joseph, they also went up against Bethel; and Yahweh was with them.

²²Ka Joosepi sugu läks teele, nad läksid Peetelisse ja Issand oli nendega.

²³The house of Joseph sent to spy out Bethel. (Now the name of the city before was Luz.)

²³Kui Joosepi sugu laskis Peetelis maad kuulata, linna nimi oli muiste Luus,

²⁴The watchers saw a man come forth out of the city, and they said to him, “Please show us the entrance into the city, and we will deal kindly with you.”

²⁴siis luurajad nägid ühte meest linnast välja tulevat ning ütlesid sellele: 'Näita nüüd meile, kust me pääseme linna, siis me anname sulle armu!'

²⁵He showed them the entrance into the city; and they struck the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man go and all his family.

²⁵Siis ta näitas neile linna sissepääsu ja nad lõid mõõgateraga maha linna elanikud, mehe ja kogu tema suguvõsa aga lasksid nad minna.

²⁶The man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a city, and called its name Luz, which is its name to this day.

²⁶Ja see mees läks hettide maale ja ehitas sinna linna ning pani sellele nimeks Luus; see on selle nimi tänapäevani.

²⁷Manasseh did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shean and its towns, nor Taanach and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.

²⁷Aga Manasse ei vallutanud Beet-Seani ega selle tütarlinnu, ei Taanakit ega selle tütarlinnu, ei Doori elanikke ega selle tütarlinnu, ei Jibleami elanikke ega selle tütarlinnu, ei Megiddo elanikke ega selle tütarlinnu, vaid kaananlased jäid elama sellele maale.

²⁸It happened, when Israel had grown strong, that they put the Canaanites to forced labor, and did not utterly drive them out.

²⁸Aga kui Iisrael sai tugevamaks, siis nad panid kaananlastele peale töökohustuse ega ajanud neid hoopiski mitte ära.

²⁹Ephraim didn’t drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer; but the Canaanites lived in Gezer among them.

²⁹Efraim ei ajanud ära kaananlasi, kes elasid Geseris, vaid kaananlased Geseris jäid elama tema keskele.

³⁰Zebulun didn’t drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites lived among them, and became subject to forced labor.

³⁰Sebulon ei ajanud ära Kitroni elanikke ega Nahaloli elanikke, vaid kaananlased elasid tema keskel ja said töökohustuslikeks.

³¹Asher didn’t drive out the inhabitants of Acco, nor the inhabitants of Sidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob;

³¹Aaser ei ajanud ära Akko elanikke ega Siidoni, Ahlabi, Aksibi, Helba, Afiki ja Rehobi elanikke.

³²but the Asherites lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; for they did not drive them out.

³²Nii elasid aaserlased maa elanike, kaananlaste keskel, sest nad ei ajanud neid ära.

³³Naphtali didn’t drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh, nor the inhabitants of Beth Anath; but he lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh and of Beth Anath became subject to forced labor.

³³Naftali ei ajanud ära Beet-Semesi elanikke ega Beet-Anati elanikke, vaid elas maa elanike, kaananlaste keskel; aga Beet-Semesi ja Beet-Anati elanikud said neile töökohustuslikeks.

³⁴The Amorites forced the children of Dan into the hill country; for they would not allow them to come down to the valley;

³⁴Emorlased tõrjusid daanlased mäestikku ega lasknud neid tulla orgu.

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 subject to forced labor.

³⁵Ja emorlased jäid elama Har-Heresisse, Ajjaloni ja Saalbimi; aga Joosepi soo käsi osutus neile rängaks ja nad said töökohustuslikeks.

³⁶The border of the Amorites was from the ascent of Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward.

³⁶Ja emorlaste maa-ala piir kulges Skorpionide tõusuteest Selasse ja kõrgemale.
