BIBBIA TINTORI	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
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 After the death of Joshua, the sons of Israel consulted the Lord, saying, “Who will ascend before us, against the Canaanite, and who will be the commander of the war?”
2 E il Signore disse: « Giuda salirà: ecco, io ho dato il paese nelle sue mai ».	2 And the Lord said: “Judah shall ascend. Behold, I have delivered the land into his hands.”
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 to his brother Simeon, “Go up with me to my lot, and fight against the Canaanite, so that I also may go forth with you to your lot.” And 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 Canaanite, as well as the Perizzite, into their hands. And they struck down ten thousand of the men at Bezek.
5 ove, trovato Adonibozec, combatterono contro di lui, e percorsero il Cananeo e il Fevezon.	5 And they found Adonibezek at Bezek, and they fought against him, and they struck down the Canaanite and the Perizzite.
6 Adonibezzec fuggì: ma oessi, inseguitolo, lo presero e gli tagliarono le estremità delle mani e dei piedi.	6 Then Adonibezek fled. And they pursued him and captured him, and they cut off the ends of his hands and feet.
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 Adonibezek said: “Seventy kings, with the ends of their hands and feet amputated, have been gathering the remnants of food under my table. Just as I have done, so has God repaid me.” And they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
8 I figli di Giuda, avendo attaccata Gerusalemme, la presero, la misero a fil dì spada e la dettero alle fiamme.	8 Then the sons of Judah, besieging Jerusalem, seized it. And they struck it with edge of the sword, delivering the entire city to be burned.
9 In seguito scesero a combattere contro il Cananeo che abitava le montagne, il mezzodì e le pianure.	9 And afterward, descending, they fought against the Canaanites who were living in the mountains, and in the south, and in the plains.
10 Giuda, andato contro il Cananeo che abitava in Ebron (chiamata in antico Cariatarhe), mise in rotta Sesai, Ahiman, Tomain.	10 And Judah, going forth against the Canaanites who were living at Hebron, (the name of which from antiquity was Kiriath-Arba) struck down 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 continuing on from there, he went to the inhabitants of Debir, the old name of which was Kiriath-Sepher, that is, the City of Letters.
12 Allora Caleb disse: « A chi percuoterà e devasterà Cariat Sefer io darò in moglie la mia figlia Axe ».	12 And Caleb said, “Whoever will strike Kiriath-Sepher, and will lay waste to it, I will give to him my daughter Achsah as wife.”
13 La prese Otonici figlio di Cenez, fratello minore diCaleb, che gli diede in moglie la sue figlia Ava.	13 And when Othniel, the son of Kenaz, a younger brother of Caleb, had seized it, he gave his daughter Achsah to him in marriage.
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 as she was traveling on a journey, her husband admonished her, so that she would request a field from her father. And since she had sighed while sitting on her donkey, Caleb said to her, “What is it?”
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 But she responded: “Give a blessing to me. For you have given me a dry land. Also give a watered land.” Therefore, Caleb gave to her the upper watered land and the lower watered land.
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 Now the sons of the Kenite, the relative of Moses, ascended from the City of Palms, with the sons of Judah, into the wilderness of his lot, which is toward the south of Arad. And they lived with him.
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 Then Judah went out with his brother Simeon, and together they struck the Canaanites who were living at Zephath, and they put them to death. And the name of the city was called Hormah, that is, Anathema.
18 Poi Giuda prese anche Gaza col suo territorio, e Ascalona e Accaron col loro territorio.	18 And Judah seized Gaza, with its parts, and Ashkelon as well as Ekron, with their borders.
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 possessed the mountains. But he was not able to wipe out the inhabitants of the valley. For they abounded with chariots armed with scythes.
20 Ebron, secondo gli ordini di Mosè, fu data a Caleb, che ne sterminò i tre ligli d'Enac.	20 And just as Moses had said, they gave Hebron to Caleb, who destroyed out of it 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 But the sons of Benjamin did not wipe out the Jebusite inhabitants of Jerusalem. And the Jebusite has lived with the sons of Benjamin in Jerusalem, even to the present day.
22 Anche la casa di Giuseppe attaccò Betel. E il Signore fu con essi:	22 The house of Joseph also ascended against Bethel, and the Lord was with them.
23 infatti, mentre assediavano la città che prima si chiamava Luza,	23 For when they were besieging the city, which was previously called Luz,
24 vedendo un uomo che usciva dalla città, gli dissero: « Mostraci la via per entrare in città, e noi ti faremo grazia ».	24 they saw a man departing from the city, and they said to him, “Reveal to us the entrance to the city, and we will act with mercy toward you.”
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 had revealed it to them, they struck the city with the edge of the sword. But that man, and all his relatives, they released.
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 having been sent away, he went out to the land of the Hittites, and he built a city there, and he called it Luz. And so it is called, even to the present 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 Likewise, Manasseh did not destroy Bethshean and Taanach, with their villages, nor the inhabitants of Dor and Ibleam and Megiddo, with their villages. And the Canaanite began to live with them.
28 Dopo che Israele divenne forte, li fece tributari; ma non volle distruggerli.	28 Then, after Israel had grown strong, he made them tributaries, but he was not willing to destroy them.
29 Anche Efraim non sterminò il Gananeo che abitava in Gazer, e vi abitò con lui.	29 And now Ephraim did not put to death the Canaanite, who was living at Gezer; instead, he lived with him.
30 Zàbulon non distrusse gli abitanti di Cetron e di Nmilol; ma il Cananeo che abitò in mezzo ad esso fu fatto tributario.	30 Zebulun did not wipe out the inhabitants of Kitron and of Nahalal. Instead, the Canaanite lived in their midst and became their tributary.
31 Anche Aser non distrusse gii abitanti di Acco, di Sidone, di Ahalab, di Acazib, di Elba, di Afec, di Rohob;	31 Likewise, Asher did not destroy the inhabitants of Acco and Sidon, Ahlab and Achzib, and Helbah, and Aphik, and Rehob.
32 ma abitò in mezzo ai Cananei di quel territorio senza sterminarli.	32 And he lived in the midst of the Canaanites, the inhabitants of that land, for he did not put them to death.
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 Naphtali also did not wipe out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and Bethanath. And he lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land. And the Beth-shemeshites and Bethanathites were tributaries to him.
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 Amorite hemmed in the sons of Dan on the mountain, and did not give them a place, so that they might descend to the flatlands.
	35 And he lived on the mountain at Har-heres, which is translated as ‘resembling brick,’ and at Aijalon and Sha-alabbin. But the hand of the house of Joseph was very heavy, and he became a tributary to him.
	36 Now the border of the Amorite was from the Ascent of the Scorpion, to the Rock and the higher places.
