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?”

¹A stalo sa po smrti Jozuovej, že sa pýtali synovia Izraelovi Hospodina a riekli: Kto pojde napočiatku za nás hore ku Kananejovi, aby bojoval proti nemu?

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

²A Hospodin riekol: Júda pojde hore. Hľa, vydal som zem do jeho ruky.

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.

³A Júda riekol Simeonovi, svojmu bratovi: Poď so mnou ta hore do môjho losu, aby sme bojovali proti Kananejovi, a potom pojdem i ja s tebou do tvojho losu. A Simeon išiel s ním.

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

⁴A tak odišiel Júda hore, a Hospodin vydal Kananeja a Ferezeja do ich ruky, a porazili ich v Bezeku, desať tisíc mužov.

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

⁵A našli Adoni-bezeka v Bezeku a bojovali proti nemu a porazili Kananeja i Ferezeja.

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

⁶A keď utekal Adoni-bezek, honili ho a dochytiac ho poutínali mu palce na jeho rukách i na jeho nohách.

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.

⁷Vtedy povedal Adoni-bezek: Sedemdesiati kráľovia s uťatými palci na svojich rukách i na svojich nohách sbierali odrobiny pod mojím stolom. Ako som robil, tak mi odplatil Bôh. Potom ho doviedli do Jeruzalema, a tam zomrel.

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.

⁸A synovia Júdovi bojovali proti Jeruzalemu a zaujali ho a zbili ho ostrím meča a mesto podpálili.

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.

⁹Potom sišli synovia Júdovi bojovať proti Kananejovi, ktorý býval na vrchoch a na juhu i na nížine.

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.

¹⁰A Júda odišiel ku Kananejovi, ktorý býval v Hebrone. A meno Hebrona bolo predtým Kirjat-arbe, a zabili Šešaja, Achimána a Talmaja.

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

¹¹Odtiaľ odišiel k obyvateľom Debíra. A meno Debíra bolo predtým Kirjat-sefer.

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

¹²A Kálef povedal: Tomu, kto zbije Kirjat-sefer, a zaujme ho, dám Achsu, svoju dcéru, za ženu.

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

¹³A zaujal ho Otniel, syn Kenaza, brata Kálefa, mladšieho od neho a dal mu Achsu, svoju dcéru, za ženu.

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?”

¹⁴A stalo sa, keď prišla k nemu, že ho naviedla, aby žiadal od jej otca pole. Preto sosadla rýchle s osla, a Kálef jej povedal: Čo chceš?

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.

¹⁵A riekla mu: Daj mi požehnanie, lebo si mi dal zem na juhu; nuž daj mi aj pramene vôd. A tak jej dal Kálef horné pramene i dolné pramene.

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.

¹⁶A synovia Kéniho, švagra Mojžišovho, odišli hore z mesta paliem so synmi Júdovými na Judskú púšť, ktorá je na juhu Aráda, a odíduc bývali s tým ľudom.

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.

¹⁷A Júda odišiel so Simeonom, svojím bratom, a pobili Kananeja, ktorý býval v Cefate, a zarieknuc ho na záhubu docela ho zahladili, mesto Cefat, a nazval meno toho mesta Chorma.

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

¹⁸A Júda zaujal Gazu a jej územie i Aškalon a jeho územie aj Ekron a jeho územie.

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.

¹⁹A Hospodin bol s Júdom, a tak vyhnal obyvateľov pohoria, lebo nemal smelosti vyhnať obyvateľov údolia, pretože mali železné vozy.

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

²⁰A dali Kálefovi Hebron, tak ako hovoril Mojžiš, a vyhnal odtiaľ troch synov Enákových.

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.

²¹Ale Jebuzeja, ktorý býval v Jeruzaleme, nevyhnali synovia Benjaminovi, a tak býval Jebuzej so synmi Benjaminovými v Jeruzaleme až do tohoto dňa.

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

²²A odišli aj dom Jozefov hore do Bét-ela, a Hospodin s nimi.

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

²³Lebo dom Jozefov dali prešpehovať Bét-el. A meno toho mesta bolo predtým Lúz.

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.”

²⁴A keď videli strážcovia muža, ktorý vychádzal z mesta, riekli mu: Ukáž nám, prosíme, kade sa vojde do mesta, a učiníme ti milosť.

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.

²⁵A ukázal im, kade sa vojde do mesta, a tak zbili mesto ostrím meča, a človeka i celú jeho čeľaď prepustili.

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.

²⁶A človek odišiel do zeme Hetejov, kde vystavil mesto a nazval jeho meno Lúz. To je jeho meno až do tohoto dňa.

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.

²⁷A Manasses nevyhnal obyvateľov Bét-šeána a jeho mestečiek ani Tánacha a jeho mestečiek ani obyvateľov mesta Dóra a jeho mestečiek ani obyvateľov Jiblama a jeho mestečiek ani obyvateľov Megidda a jeho mestečiek, a preto volil Kananej bývať v tej zemi.

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

²⁸Ale stalo sa, keď zosilnel Izrael, že uviedol Kananeja pod plat, ale vyhnať nevyhnal ho.

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

²⁹Ani Efraim nevyhnal Kananeja, ktorý býval v Gázere, a tak býva Kananej v jeho strede, v Gázere.

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.

³⁰Zabulon nevyhnal obyvateľov Kitrona ani obyvateľov Nahalola, preto býva Kananej v jeho strede, a stali sa poplatnými.

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;

³¹Aser nevyhnal obyvateľov mesta Akko ani obyvateľov Sidona ani Achlába ani Achzíba ani Chelby ani Afíka ani Rechoba.

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

³²A tak býva Aser v strede Kananeja, obyvateľov to zeme, pretože ho nevyhnal.

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.

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

³⁴A Amoreji utiskovali synov Dánových vytískajúc ich na vrchy lebo im nedali sísť do údolia.

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.

³⁵A Amoreji volili bývať na vrchu Cherese, v Ajalone a v Šaalbíme. Ale keď nadobudla váhy ruka domu Jozefovho, stali sa poplatnými.

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

³⁶A územie Amorejovo bolo od svahu Akrabbím, od skaly a vyše.
