1After the death of Joshua, the Israelites inquired of the LORD, “Who will be the first to go up and fight for us against the Canaanites?”
1ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο μετὰ τὴν τελευτὴν Ἰησοῦ καὶ ἐπηρώτων οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ διὰ τοῦ Κυρίου λέγοντες· τίς ἀναβήσεται ἡμῖν πρὸς τοὺς Χαναναίους ἀφηγούμενος τοῦ πολεμῆσαι πρὸς αὐτούς;
2“Judah shall go up,” answered the LORD. “Indeed, I have delivered the land into their hands.”
2καὶ εἶπε Κύριος· Ἰούδας ἀναβήσεται. ἰδοὺ δέδωκα τὴν γῆν ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ.
3Then the men of Judah said to their brothers the Simeonites, “Come up with us to our allotted territory, and let us fight against the Canaanites. And we likewise will go with you to your territory.” So the Simeonites went with them.
3καὶ εἶπεν Ἰούδας τῷ Συμεὼν ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ· ἀνάβηθι μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ ἐν τῷ κλήρῳ μου, καὶ παραταξώμεθα πρὸς τοὺς Χαναναίους, καὶ πορεύσομαι κἀγὼ μετὰ σοῦ ἐν τῷ κλήρῳ σου. καὶ ἐπορεύθη μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ Συμεών.
4When Judah attacked, the LORD delivered the Canaanites and Perizzites into their hands, and they struck down ten thousand men at Bezek.
4καὶ ἀνέβη Ἰούδας, καὶ παρέδωκε Κύριος τὸν Χαναναῖον καὶ τὸν Φερεζαῖον εἰς τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν. καὶ ἔκοψαν αὐτοὺς ἐν Βεζὰκ εἰς δέκα χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν.
5And there they found Adoni-bezek and fought against him, striking down the Canaanites and Perizzites.
5καὶ κατέλαβον τὸν Ἀδωνιβεζὲκ ἐν τῇ Βεζὲκ καὶ παρετάξαντο πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ ἔκοψαν τὸν Χαναναῖον καὶ Φερεζαῖον.
6As Adoni-bezek fled, they pursued him, seized him, and cut off his thumbs and big toes.
6καὶ ἔφυγεν Ἀδωνιβεζέκ, καὶ κατέδραμον ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐλάβοσαν αὐτὸν καὶ ἀπέκοψαν τὰ ἄκρα τῶν χειρῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ ἄκρα τῶ ποδῶν αὐτοῦ.
7Then Adoni-bezek said, “Seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off have gathered the scraps under my table. As I have done to them, so God has repaid me.” And they brought him to Jerusalem, where he died.
7καὶ εἶπεν Ἀδωνιβεζέκ· ἑβδομήκοντα βασιλεῖς τὰ ἄκρα τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ ἄκρα τῶν ποδῶν αὐτῶν ἀποκεκομμένοι ἦσαν συλλέγοντες τὰ ὑποκάτω τῆς τραπέζης μου· καθὼς οὖν ἐποίησα, οὕτως ἀνταπέδωκέ μοι ὁ Θεός. καὶ ἄγουσιν αὐτὸν εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ, καὶ ἀπέθανεν ἐκεῖ.
8Then the men of Judah fought against Jerusalem and captured it. They put the city to the sword and set it on fire.
8Καὶ ἐπολέμουν υἱοὶ Ἰούδα τὴν Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ κατελάβοντο αὐτὴν καὶ ἐπάταξαν αὐτὴν ἐν στόματι ρομφαίας καὶ τὴν πόλιν ἐνέπρησαν ἐν πυρί.
9Afterward, the men of Judah marched down to fight against the Canaanites living in the hill country, in the Negev, and in the foothills.
9καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα κατέβησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰούδα πολεμῆσαι πρὸς τὸν Χαναναῖον τὸν κατοικοῦντα τὴν ὀρεινὴν καὶ τὸ νότιον καὶ τὴν πεδινήν.
10Judah also marched against the Canaanites who were living in Hebron (formerly known as Kiriath-arba), and they struck down Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.
10καὶ ἐπορεύθη Ἰούδας πρὸς τὸν Χαναναῖον τὸν κατοικοῦντα ἐν Χεβρών, καὶ ἐξῆλθε Χεβρὼν ἐξ ἐναντίας· καὶ τὸ ὄνομα ἦν Χεβρὼν τὸ πρότερον Καριαθαρβοκσεφέρ. καὶ ἐπάταξαν τὸν Σεσσὶ καὶ Ἀχιναὰν καὶ Θολμί, γεννήματα τοῦ Ἐνάκ.
11From there they marched against the inhabitants of Debir (formerly known as Kiriath-sepher).
11καὶ ἀνέβησαν ἐκεῖθεν πρὸς τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Δαβίρ· τὸ δὲ ὄνομα τῆς Δαβὶρ ἦν ἔμπροσθεν Καριαθσεφάρ, Πόλις γραμμάτων.
12And Caleb said, “To the man who strikes down Kiriath-sepher and captures it, I will give my daughter Acsah in marriage.”
12καὶ εἶπε Χάλεβ· ὃς ἂν πατάξῃ τὴν Πόλιν τῶν γραμμάτων καὶ προκαταλάβηται αὐτήν, δώσω αὐτῷ τὴν Ἀσχὰ θυγατέρα μου εἰς γυναῖκα.
13So Othniel son of Caleb’s younger brother Kenaz captured the city, and Caleb gave his daughter Acsah to him in marriage.
13καὶ προκατελάβετο αὐτὴν Γοθονιὴλ υἱὸς Κενὲζ ἀδελφοῦ Χάλεβ ὁ νεώτερος, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ Χάλεβ τὴν Ἀσχὰ θυγατέρα αὐτοῦ εἰς γυναῖκα.
14One day Acsah came to Othniel and urged him to ask her father for a field. When she got off her donkey, Caleb asked her, “What do you desire?”
14καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῇ εἰσόδῳ αὐτῆς καὶ ἐπέσεισεν αὐτὴν Γοθονιὴλ τοῦ αἰτῆσαι παρὰ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῆς ἀγρόν, καὶ ἐγόγγυζε καὶ ἔκραξεν ἀπὸ τοῦ ὑποζυγίου· εἰς γῆν νότου ἐκδέδοσαί με. καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ Χάλεβ· τί ἐστί σοι;
15“Give me a blessing,” she answered. “Since you have given me land in the Negev, give me springs of water as well.” So Caleb gave her both the upper and lower springs.
15καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἀσχά· δὸς δή μοι εὐλογίαν, ὅτι εἰς γῆν νότου ἐκδέδοσαί με, καὶ δώσεις μοι λύτρωσιν ὕδατος. καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῇ Χάλεβ κατὰ τὴν καρδίαν αὐτῆς λύτρωσιν μετεώρων καὶ λύτρωσιν ταπεινῶν.
16Now the descendants of Moses’ father-in-law, the Kenite, went up with the men of Judah from the City of Palms to the Wilderness of Judah in the Negev near Arad. They went to live among the people.
16Καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰοθὸρ τοῦ Κιναίου τοῦ γαμβροῦ Μωυσῆ ἀνέβησαν ἐκ πόλεως τῶν φοινίκων μετὰ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰούδα εἰς τὴν ἔρημον τὴν οὖσαν ἐν τῷ νότῳ Ἰούδα, ἥ ἐστιν ἐπὶ καταβάσεως Ἀράδ, καὶ κατῴκησαν μετὰ τοῦ λαοῦ.
17Then the men of Judah went with their brothers the Simeonites, attacked the Canaanites living in Zephath, and devoted the city to destruction. So it was called Hormah.
17καὶ ἐπορεύθη Ἰούδας μετὰ Συμεὼν τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔκοψε τὸν Χαναναῖον τὸν κατοικοῦντα Σεφέκ· καὶ ἐξωλόθρευσεν αὐτούς, καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα τῆς πόλεως Ἀνάθεμα.
18And Judah also captured Gaza, Ashkelon, and Ekron—each with its territory.
18καὶ οὐκ ἐκληρονόμησεν Ἰούδας τὴν Γάζαν οὐδὲ τὰ ὅρια αὐτῆς, οὐδὲ τὴν Ἀσκάλωνα ουδὲ τὰ ὅρια αὐτῆς, οὐδὲ τὴν Ἀκκαρὼν οὐδὲ τὰ ὅρια αὐτῆς, τὴν Ἄζωτον οὐδὲ τὰ περισπόρια αὐτῆς.
19The LORD was with Judah, and they took possession of the hill country; but they could not drive out the inhabitants of the plains because they had chariots of iron.
19καὶ ἦν Κύριος μετὰ Ἰούδα καὶ ἐκληρονόμησε τὸ ὄρος, ὅτι οὐκ ἠδυνάσθησαν ἐξολοθρεῦσαι τοὺς κατοικοῦντας τὴν κοιλάδα, ὅτι Ρηχὰβ διεστείλατο αὐτοῖς.
20Just as Moses had promised, Judah gave Hebron to Caleb, who drove out the descendants of the three sons of Anak.
20καὶ ἔδωκαν τῷ Χάλεβ τὴν Χεβρών, καθὼς ἐλάλησε Μωυσῆς, καὶ ἐκληρονόμησεν ἐκεῖθεν τὰς τρεῖς πόλεις τῶν υἱῶν Ἐνάκ.
21The Benjamites, however, failed to drive out the Jebusites living in Jerusalem. So to this day the Jebusites live there among the Benjamites.
21καὶ τὸν Ἰεβουσαῖον τὸν κατοικοῦντα ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ οὐκ ἐκληρονόμησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Βενιαμίν, καὶ κατῴκησεν ὁ Ἰεβουσαῖος μετὰ τῶν υἱῶν Βενιαμὶν ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.
22The house of Joseph also attacked Bethel, and the LORD was with them.
22καὶ ἀνέβησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰωσὴφ καί γε αὐτοὶ εἰς Βαιθήλ, καὶ Κύριος ἦν μετ᾿ αὐτῶν.
23They sent spies to Bethel (formerly known as Luz),
23καὶ παρενέβαλον καὶ κατεσκέψαντο Βαιθήλ· τὸ δὲ ὄνομα τῆς πόλεως ἦν ἔμπροσθεν Λουζά.
24and when the spies saw a man coming out of the city, they said to him, “Please show us how to get into the city, and we will treat you kindly.”
24καὶ εἶδον οἱ φυλάσσοντες, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀνὴρ ἐξεπορεύετο ἐκ τῆς πόλεως· καὶ ἔλαβον αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπον αὐτῷ· δεῖξον ἡμῖν τῆς πόλεως τὴν εἴσοδον, καὶ ποιήσομεν μετὰ σοῦ ἔλεος.
25So the man showed them the entrance to the city, and they put the city to the sword but released that man and all his family.
25καὶ ἔδειξεν αὐτοῖς τὴν εἴσοδον τῆς πόλεως, καὶ ἐπάταξαν τὴν πόλιν ἐν στόματι ρομφαίας, τὸν δὲ ἄνδρα καὶ τὴν συγγένειαν αὐτοῦ ἐξαπέστειλαν.
26And the man went to the land of the Hittites, built a city, and called it Luz, which is its name to this day.
26καὶ ἐπορεύθη ὁ ἀνὴρ εἰς γῆν Χεττὶν καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐκεῖ πόλιν καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῆς Λουζά· τοῦτο ὄνομα αὐτῆς ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.
27At that time Manasseh failed to drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shean, Taanach, Dor, Ibleam, Megiddo, and their villages; for the Canaanites were determined to dwell in that land.
27καὶ οὐκ ἐξῇρε Μανασσῆ τὴν Βαιθσάν, ἥ ἐστι Σκυθῶν πόλις, οὐδὲ τὰς θυγατέρας αὐτῆς οὐδὲ τὰ περίοικα αὐτῆς οὐδὲ τὴν Θανὰκ οὐδὲ τὰς θυγατέρας αὐτῆς, οὐδὲ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Δὼρ οὐδὲ τὰς θυγατέρας αὐτῆς, οὐδὲ τὸν κατοικοῦντα Βαλὰκ οὐδὲ τὰ περίοικα αὐτῆς οὐδὲ τὰς θυγατέρας αὐτῆς, οὐδὲ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Μαγεδὼ οὐδὲ τὰ περίοικα αὐτῆς καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας αὐτῆς, οὐδὲ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Ἰεβλαὰμ οὐδὲ τὰ περίοικα αὐτῆς οὐδὲ τὰς θυγατέρας αὐτῆς· καὶ ἤρξατο ὁ Χαναναῖος κατοικεῖν ἐν τῇ γῇ ταύτῃ.
28When Israel became stronger, they pressed the Canaanites into forced labor, but they never drove them out completely.
28καὶ ἐγένετο ὅτε ἐνίσχυσεν Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἐποίησε τὸν Χαναναῖον εἰς φόρον καὶ ἐξαίρων οὐκ ἐξῇρεν αὐτόν.
29Ephraim also failed to drive out the Canaanites living in Gezer; so the Canaanites continued to dwell among them in Gezer.
29καὶ Ἐφραὶμ οὐκ ἐξῇρε τὸν Χαναναῖον τὸν κατοικοῦντα ἐν Γαζέρ· καὶ κατῴκησεν ὁ Χαναναῖος ἐν μέσῳ αὐτοῦ ἐν Γαζὲρ καὶ ἐγένετο εἰς φόρον.
30Zebulun failed to drive out the inhabitants of Kitron and Nahalol; so the Canaanites lived among them and served as forced laborers.
30καὶ Ζαβουλὼν οὐκ ἐξῇρε τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Κέδρων, οὐδὲ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Δωμανά· καὶ κατῴκησεν ὁ Χαναναῖος ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτῷ εἰς φόρον.
31Asher failed to drive out the inhabitants of Acco, Sidon, Ahlab, Achzib, Helbah, Aphik, and Rehob.
31καὶ Ἀσὴρ οὐκ ἐξῇρε τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Ἀκχώ, καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτῷ εἰς φόρον, καὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Δὼρ καὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Σιδῶνα καὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Ἀαλάφ, τὸν Ἀσχαζὶ καὶ τὸν Χελβὰ καὶ τὸν Ναΐ καὶ τὸν Ἐρεώ.
32So the Asherites lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land, because they did not drive them out.
32καὶ κατῴκησεν ὁ Ἀσὴρ ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ Χαναναίου τοῦ κατοικοῦντος τὴν γῆν, ὅτι οὐκ ἠδυνήθη ἐξᾶραι αὐτόν.
33Naphtali failed to drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath. So the Naphtalites also lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land, but the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath served them as forced laborers.
33καὶ Νεφθαλὶ οὐκ ἐξῇρε τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Βαιθσαμὺς καὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Βαιθανάθ, καὶ κατῴκησε Νεφθαλὶ ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ Χαναναίου τοῦ κατοικοῦντος τὴν γῆν· οἱ δὲ κατοικοῦντες Βαιθσαμὺς καὶ τὴν Βαιθενὲθ ἐγένοντο αὐτοῖς εἰς φόρον.
34The Amorites forced the Danites into the hill country and did not allow them to come down into the plain.
34καὶ ἐξέθλιψεν ὁ Ἀμορραῖος τοὺς υἱοὺς Δὰν εἰς τὸ ὄρος, ὅτι οὐκ ἀφῆκαν αὐτὸν καταβῆναι εἰς τὴν κοιλάδα.
35And the Amorites were determined to dwell in Mount Heres, Aijalon, and Shaalbim. But when the house of Joseph grew in strength, they pressed the Amorites into forced labor.
35καὶ ἤρξατο ὁ Ἀμορραῖος κατοικεῖν ἐν τῷ ὄρει τῷ ὀστρακώδει, ἐν ᾧ αἱ ἄρκοι καὶ ἐν ᾧ αἱ ἀλώπεκες, ἐν τῷ Μυρσινῶνι καὶ ἐν Θαλαβίν· καὶ ἐβαρύνθη ἡ χεὶρ οἴκου Ἰωσὴφ ἐπὶ τὸν Ἀμορραῖον, καὶ ἐγενήθη αὐτοῖς εἰς φόρον.
36And the border of the Amorites extended from the Ascent of Akrabbim to Sela and beyond.
36καὶ τὸ ὅριον τοῦ Ἀμορραίου ἀπὸ τῆς ἀναβάσεως Ἀκραβὶν ἀπὸ τῆς Πέτρας καὶ ἐπάνω.
