| 1 Poslije smrti Jošuine upitaše Izraelci Jahvu: »Tko će od nas prvi poći na Kanaance da se protiv njih bori?« | 1 After the death of Joshua the people of Israel inquired of the LORD, "Who shall go up first for us against the Canaanites, to fight against them?" |
| 2 A Jahve odgovori: »Neka Juda prvi pođe; u njegove ruke stavljam zemlju.« | 2 The LORD said, "Judah shall go up; behold, I have given the land into his hand." |
| 3 Tada 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. | 3 And Judah said to Simeon his brother, "Come up with me into the territory allotted to me, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with you into the territory allotted to you." So Simeon went with him. |
| 4 Ode Juda i Jahve im predade u ruke Kanaance i Perižane te pobiše u Bezeku deset tisuća ljudi. | 4 Then Judah went up and the LORD gave the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand; and they defeated ten thousand of them at Bezek. |
| 5 U Bezeku zatekoše Adoni-Sedeka, udariše na nj i poraziše Kanaance i Perižane. | 5 They came upon Adoni-bezek at Bezek, and fought against him, and defeated the Canaanites and the Perizzites. |
| 6 Kad je Adoni-Sedek nagnuo u bijeg, gonili su ga, uhvatili ga i odsjekli mu palce na rukama i nogama. | 6 Adoni-bezek fled; but they pursued him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes. |
| 7 Tada 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. | 7 And Adoni-bezek said, "Seventy kings with their thumbs and their great toes cut off used to pick up scraps under my table; as I have done, so God has requited me." And they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there. |
| 8 Zatim Judini sinovi udariše na Jeruzalem, osvojiše ga, posjekoše mačem žitelje i spališe grad. | 8 And the men of Judah fought against Jerusalem, and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire. |
| 9 Poslije toga krenuše Judini sinovi da se bore protiv Kanaanaca koji su živjeli u Gorju, Negebu i u Šefeli. | 9 And afterward the men of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites who dwelt in the hill country, in the Negeb, and in the lowland. |
| 10 Onda Juda ode na Kanaance koji su živjeli u Hebronu – Hebronu bijaše nekoć ime Kirjat Arba – i ondje potuče Šešaja, Ahimana i Talmaja. | 10 And Judah went against the Canaanites who dwelt in Hebron (now the name of Hebron was formerly Kiriath-arba); and they defeated Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai. |
| 11 Odatle krenu na stanovnike Debira, koji se nekoć zvao Kirjat Sefer. | 11 From there they went against the inhabitants of Debir. The name of Debir was formerly Kiriath-sepher. |
| 12 Tada reče Kaleb: »Tko pokori i zauzme Kirjat Sefer, dat ću mu svoju kćer Aksu za ženu.« | 12 And Caleb said, "He who attacks Kiriath-sepher and takes it, I will give him Achsah my daughter as wife." |
| 13 Zauze ga Otniel, sin Kenaza, mlađeg brata Kalebova, i Kaleb mu dade svoju kćer Aksu za ženu. | 13 And Othni-el the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it; and he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife. |
| 14 Kad je prišla mužu, on je nagovori da u svoga oca ište polje. Siđe ona s magarca, a Kaleb je upita: »Što hoćeš?« | 14 When she came to him, she urged him to ask her father for a field; and she alighted from her ass, and Caleb said to her, "What do you wish?" |
| 15 Ona 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. | 15 She said to him, "Give me a present; since you have set me in the land of the Negeb, give me also springs of water." And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs. |
| 16 Sinovi 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. | 16 And the descendants of the Kenite, Moses' father-in-law, went up with the people of Judah from the city of palms into the wilderness of Judah, which lies in the Negeb near Arad; and they went and settled with the people. |
| 17 Potom ode Juda s bratom Šimunom i pobiše Kanaance koji su živjeli u Sefatu i grad izručiše »heremu«, prokletstvu. Zbog toga se grad prozva Horma. | 17 And Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they defeated the Canaanites who inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. So the name of the city was called Hormah. |
| 18 Ali Juda nije uspio zauzeti Gaze s njenim područjem, ni Aškelona s njegovim područjem, ni Ekrona s njegovim područjem. | 18 Judah also took Gaza with its territory, and Ashkelon with its territory, and Ekron with its territory. |
| 19 Jahve bijaše s njim te on osvoji gorje, ali ne mogaše potjerati onih u nizini jer imahu željezna kola. | 19 And the LORD was with Judah, and he took possession of the hill country, but he could not drive out the inhabitants of the plain, because they had chariots of iron. |
| 20 Kao što bijaše odredio Mojsije, dadoše Hebron Kalebu, koji iz njega otjera tri sina Anakova. | 20 And Hebron was given to Caleb, as Moses had said; and he drove out from it the three sons of Anak. |
| 21 A Benjaminovi sinovi ne uspješe otjerati Jebusejaca koji su živjeli u Jeruzalemu i tako Jebusejci ostadoše u Jeruzalemu s Benjaminovim sinovima do dana današnjega. | 21 But the people of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who dwelt in Jerusalem; so the Jebusites have dwelt with the people of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day. |
| 22 Krenu i pleme Josipovo na Betel i Jahve bijaše s njima. | 22 The house of Joseph also went up against Bethel; and the LORD was with them. |
| 23 I pleme Josipovo uze izviđati Betel. Grad se nekoć zvao Luz. | 23 And the house of Joseph sent to spy out Bethel. (Now the name of the city was formerly Luz.) |
| 24 Uhode opaziše čovjeka gdje izlazi iz grada i rekoše mu: »Pokaži nam kuda se može u grad, pa ćemo ti biti milostivi.« | 24 And the spies saw a man coming out of the city, and they said to him, "Pray, show us the way into the city, and we will deal kindly with you." |
| 25 On im pokaza kuda mogu u grad. I sve u gradu isjekoše mačem, a onoga čovjeka sa svom njegovom obitelji pustiše da ode. | 25 And he showed them the way into the city; and they smote the city with the edge of the sword, but they let the man and all his family go. |
| 26 Čovjek je otišao u zemlju Hetita i ondje sagradio grad i prozvao ga Luz. Tako se zove još i danas. | 26 And the man went to the land of the Hittites and built a city, and called its name Luz; that is its name to this day. |
| 27 Manaše 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. | 27 Manasseh did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shean and its villages, or Taa-nach and its villages, or the inhabitants of Dor and its villages, or the inhabitants of Ibleam and its villages, or the inhabitants of Megiddo and its villages; but the Canaanites persisted in dwelling in that land. |
| 28 Kad je Izrael ojačao, nametnuo je Kanaancima tlaku, ali ih nije mogao otjerati. | 28 When Israel grew strong, they put the Canaanites to forced labor, but did not utterly drive them out. |
| 29 Ni Efrajim nije otjerao Kanaanaca koji su živjeli u Gezeru, tako te su Kanaanci tu živjeli među njima. | 29 And Ephraim did not drive out the Canaanites who dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them. |
| 30 Zebulun nije otjerao stanovnika Kitrona ni stanovnika Nahalola. Tako su Kanaanci ostali usred Zebulunovih sinova, ali im bijaše nametnuta tlaka. | 30 Zebulun did not drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, or the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became subject to forced labor. |
| 31 Ni Ašer nije otjerao stanovnika Akona, ni stanovnika Sidona, ni onih iz Mahalaba, Akziba, Helbe, Afika i Rehoba. | 31 Asher did not drive out the inhabitants of Acco, or the inhabitants of Sidon, or of Ahlab, or of Achzib, or of Helbah, or of Aphik, or of Rehob; |
| 32 Ašerovci su ostali tako među Kanaancima, stanovnicima te zemlje, jer ih nisu otjerali. | 32 but the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; for they did not drive them out. |
| 33 Naftali 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. | 33 Naphtali did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh, or the inhabitants of Beth-anath, but dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and of Beth-anath became subject to forced labor for them. |
| 34 Amorejci su potisnuli Danove sinove u goru i nisu ih puštali da siđu u ravnicu. | 34 The Amorites pressed the Danites back into the hill country, for they did not allow them to come down to the plain; |
| 35 Amorejci su se zadržali u Har-Heresu, Ajalonu i Šaalbimu, ali kad je ruka Josipova doma ojačala, bila im je nametnuta tlaka. | 35 the Amorites persisted in dwelling in Har-heres, in Aijalon, and in Sha-albim, but the hand of the house of Joseph rested heavily upon them, and they became subject to forced labor. |
| 36 Područje Edomaca pruža se od Akrabimskog uspona do Stijene pa naviše. | 36 And the border of the Amorites ran from the ascent of Akrabbim, from Sela and upward. |
