BIBBIA TINTORIKING JAMES BIBLE
1 Dopo la morte di Giosuè, i figli d'Israele consultrono il Signore, dicendo: «Chi salirà davanti a noi contro il Cananeo, come duce della guerra? »1 Now 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?
2 E il Signore disse: « Giuda salirà: ecco, io ho dato il paese nelle sue mai ».2 And the LORD said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.
3 E Giuda disse a suo fratello Simeone: « Sali con me a combattere il Cananeo nel mio territorio, e poi io salirò con te nel tuo territorio ». E Simeone andò con lui.3 And 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.
4 Giuda adunque salì, e il Signore diede nelle loro mani il Cananeo e il Ferezeo: essi percossero dieci mila uomini in Bezee,4 And 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.
5 ove, trovato Adonibozec, combatterono contro di lui, e percorsero il Cananeo e il Fevezon.5 And they found Adoni-bezek in Bezek: and they fought against him, and they slew the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
6 Adonibezzec fuggì: ma oessi, inseguitolo, lo presero e gli tagliarono le estremità delle mani e dei piedi.6 But Adoni-bezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.
7 Allora Adombezec esclamò; « Settanta re che. avevano le estremità delle mani e dei piedi tagllate, mangiavano gli avanzi sotto la mia tavola: Dio m'ha reso quel che ho fatto ». Fu condotto a Gerusalemme, ove morì.7 And Adoni-bezek 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.
8 I figli di Giuda, avendo attaccata Gerusalemme, la presero, la misero a fil dì spada e la dettero alle fiamme.8 Now 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.
9 In seguito scesero a combattere contro il Cananeo che abitava le montagne, il mezzodì e le pianure.9 And 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.
10 Giuda, andato contro il Cananeo che abitava in Ebron (chiamata in antico Cariatarhe), mise in rotta Sesai, Ahiman, Tomain.10 And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron: (now the name of Hebron before was Kirjath-arba:) and they slew Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.
11 Poi da Ebron andò contro gli abitanti di Dabir, chiamata anticamente Cariat Sefer, o città delle lettere.11 And from thence he went against the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before was Kirjath-sepher:
12 Allora Caleb disse: « A chi percuoterà e devasterà Cariat Sefer io darò in moglie la mia figlia Axe ».12 And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjath-sepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.
13 La prese Otonici figlio di Cenez, fratello minore diCaleb, che gli diede in moglie la sue figlia Ava.13 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.
14 Or mentre questa era, in viaggio, suo marito la spinse a chiedere al padre un campo. Essa, allora seduta sull'asino, si mise a sospirare. E Caleble disse: « Che hai? »14 And 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?
15 Rispose: « Dammi una benedizione: giacche m'hai dato una terra asciutta, dammene anche una con sorgenti d'acqua ». E Caleb le donò un campo irriguo superiore e un campo irriguo inferiore.15 And 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.
16 I figli del Cineo parente di Mosè salireno dalla città delle palme coi figli di Giuda nel deserto del loro territorio, a sud di Arad, od abitarono con essi.16 And 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.
17 Giuda con Simeone suo fratello andò poi adassalire il Cananeo che abitava in Sefaat e lo uccisero, e la città fu chiamata Bornia, o Anatema.17 And 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.
18 Poi Giuda prese anche Gaza col suo territorio, e Ascalona e Accaron col loro territorio.18 Also Judah took Gaza with the coast thereof, and Askelon with the coast thereof, and Ekron with the coast thereof.
19 Essendo il Signore con Giuda, questi prese possesso delle montagne; ma non potè sterminare gli abitanti della valle, che avevai un gran numero di carri falcati.19 And 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.
20 Ebron, secondo gli ordini di Mosè, fu data a Caleb, che ne sterminò i tre ligli d'Enac.20 And they gave Hebron unto Caleb, as Moses said: and he expelled thence the three sons of Anak.
21 Ma i figli di Beniamino non distrussero il Gebuseo, che abitava in Gerusalemme e vi abita ancora coi figli di Beniamino.21 And 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.
22 Anche la casa di Giuseppe attaccò Betel. E il Signore fu con essi:22 And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Bethel: and the LORD was with them.
23 infatti, mentre assediavano la città che prima si chiamava Luza,23 And the house of Joseph sent to descry Bethel. (Now the name of the city before was Luz.)
24 vedendo un uomo che usciva dalla città, gli dissero: « Mostraci la via per entrare in città, e noi ti faremo grazia ».24 And the spies saw a man come forth out of the city, and they said unto him, Shew us, we pray thee, the entrance into the city, and we will shew thee mercy.
25 Avendola egli mostrata, essi misero a fil di spada la città; ma lasciarono andare quell'uomo con tutta la sua famiglia.25 And when he shewed 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.
26 Ed esso, partito si, andò nel territorio di Ettim, ove edificò una città che egli chiamò e che si chiama anch'oggi Luza.26 And 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.
27 Anche Manasse non distrusse Betsan e Tanac coi loro villaggi, nè gli abitanti di Dor, di Ieblaam e di Mageddo coi loro villaggi, e il Cananeo ardì restaro insieme con lui.27 Neither did Manasseh drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shean 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.
28 Dopo che Israele divenne forte, li fece tributari; ma non volle distruggerli.28 And it came to pass, when Israel was strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute, and did not utterly drive them out.
29 Anche Efraim non sterminò il Gananeo che abitava in Gazer, e vi abitò con lui.29 Neither did Ephraim drive out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.
30 Zàbulon non distrusse gli abitanti di Cetron e di Nmilol; ma il Cananeo che abitò in mezzo ad esso fu fatto tributario.30 Neither did Zebulun drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became tributaries.
31 Anche Aser non distrusse gii abitanti di Acco, di Sidone, di Ahalab, di Acazib, di Elba, di Afec, di Rohob;31 Neither 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:
32 ma abitò in mezzo ai Cananei di quel territorio senza sterminarli.32 But the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: for they did not drive them out.
33 Così pure Nettali non distrusse gli abitanti di Betsames e di Betanat; ma dimorò tra i Cananei abitatori di quella terra, e i Betsamiti e i Betaniti gli furon tributari.33 Neither did Naphtali drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh, nor the inhabitants of Beth-anath; but he dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and of Beth-anath became tributaries unto them.
34 Però l'Amorreo rinserrò i figli di Dan sulle montagne, senza lasciarli discendere alla pianura, e ardì restare sul monte Ares, o monte d'argilla in Aialon, in Salebim; ma, essendosi appesantita su di lui la mano della casa di Giuseppe, ne divenne tributario, con fine dell'Amorreo fu dalla Salita dello Scorpione e da Petra in su.34 And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the mountain: for they would not suffer them to come down to the valley:
35 But 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.
36 And the coast of the Amorites was from the going up to Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward.
