Jueces 1
Diodati 1885
1ORA, dopo la morte di Giosuè, i figliuoli d'Israele domandarono il Signore, dicendo: Chi di noi salirà il primo contro a' Cananei, per far loro guerra?
2E il Signore disse: Salga Giuda; ecco, io gli ho dato il paese nelle mani.
3E Giuda disse a Simeone, suo fratello: Sali meco alla mia parte; e noi guerreggeremo contro a' Cananei; poi, ancora io andrò alla tua parte. E Simeone andò con lui.
4Giuda adunque salì; e il Signore diede loro nelle mani i Cananei ed i Ferizzei; ed essi li percossero in Bezec, in numero di diecimila.
5E trovarono Adonibezec in Bezec, e combatterono contro a lui, e percossero i Cananei ed i Ferizzei.
6E Adonibezec fuggì; ma essi lo perseguitarono, e, presolo, gli tagliarono i diti grossi delle mani e de' piedi.
7E Adonibezec disse: Settanta re, che aveano i diti grossi delle mani e de' piedi tagliati, se ne stavano già sotto la mia tavola, a ricoglier ciò che ne cadea; come io ho fatto, così mi ha Iddio renduto. Ed essi lo menarono in Gerusalemme, e quivi morì.
8Ora i figliuoli di Giuda aveano combattuta Gerusalemme, e l'aveano presa, e messa a fil di spada; e aveano messa la città a fuoco e fiamma.
9E poi erano scesi per guerreggiar contro a' Cananei, che abitavano il monte, e nella parte meridionale, e nella pianura.
10Giuda ancora era andato contro a' Cananei che abitavano in Hebron, il cui nome per addietro era stato Chiriat-Arba, e avea percosso Sesai, Ahiman e Talmai.
11E di là era andato contro agli abitanti di Debir, il cui nome per addietro era stato Chiriat-sefer.
12E Caleb avea detto: Chi percoterà Chiriat-sefer, e la piglierà, io gli darò Acsa, mia figliuola, per moglie.
13E Otniel, figliuolo di Chenaz, fratel minore di Caleb, l'avea presa; ed egli gli diede Acsa, sua figliuola, per moglie.
14E quando ella venne a marito, ella l'indusse a domandare un campo a suo padre. Poi ella si gittò giù dall'asino. E Caleb le disse: Che hai?
15Ed ella gli disse: Fammi un dono; poichè tu m'hai data una terra asciutta, dammi ancora delle fonti d'acque. E Caleb le donò delle fonti ch'erano disopra, e disotto di quella terra.
16Ora i figliuoli del Cheneo, suocero di Mosè, erano anch'essi saliti co' figliuoli di Giuda, dalla città delle palme, al deserto di Giuda, che è dal Mezzodì di Arad. Essi adunque andarono, e dimorarono col popolo.
17Poi Giuda andò con Simeone, suo fratello, e percosse i Cananei che abitavano in Sefat, e distrussero quella città al modo dell'interdetto; onde le fu posto nome Horma.
18Giuda prese anche Gaza e i suoi confini; Ascalon e i suoi confini; ed Ecron e i suoi confini.
19E il Signore fu con Giuda; ed essi scacciarono gli abitanti del monte; ma non poterono scacciar gli abitanti della valle; perchè aveano de' carri di ferro.
20E diedero Hebron a Caleb, secondo che Mosè avea detto; ed egli ne scacciò i tre figliuoli di Anac.
21Ora i figliuoli di Beniamino non iscacciarono i Gebusei che abitavano in Gerusalemme; anzi i Gebusei son dimorati in Gerusalemme, co' figliuoli di Beniamino, infino a questo giorno.
22La casa di Giuseppe salì anch'essa contro a Betel; e il Signore fu con loro.
23E fecero spiare Betel, il cui nome anticamente era Luz.
24E quelli ch'erano all'agguato videro un uomo che usciva della città; e gli dissero: Deh! mostraci da qual parte si può entrar nella città, e noi useremo benignità inverso te.
25Egli adunque mostrò loro la parte per la quale potevano entrar nella città; ed essi la misero a fil di spada; ma lasciarono andar quell'uomo con tutta la sua famiglia.
26Ed egli se ne andò nel paese degli Hittei, ed edificò una città, e le pose nome Luz; il qual nome le dura infino al dì d'oggi.
27Manasse anch'esso non iscacciò gli abitanti di Bet-sean, nè delle terre del suo territorio; nè di Taanac, nè delle terre del suo territorio; nè gli abitanti di Dor, nè delle terre del suo territorio; nè gli abitanti d'Ibleam, nè delle terre del suo territorio; nè gli abitanti di Meghiddo, nè delle terre del suo territorio. E i Cananei si misero in cuore di abitare in quel paese.
28Ben avvenne che, dopo che Israele si fu rinforzato, egli fece tributari i Cananei; ma non li scacciò.
29Efraim anch'esso non iscacciò i Cananei che abitavano in Ghezer; anzi i Cananei abitarono per mezzo esso in Ghezer.
30Zabulon non iscacciò gli abitanti di Chitron, nè gli abitanti di Nahalol; anzi i Cananei abitarono per mezzo esso, e furono fatti tributari.
31Aser non iscacciò gli abitanti di Acco, nè gli abitanti di Sidon, nè di Alab, nè di Aczib, nè di Helba, nè di Afic, nè di Rehob.
32Anzi Aser abitò per mezzo i Cananei che abitavano nel paese; perciocchè egli non li scacciò.
33Neftali non iscacciò gli abitanti di Bet-semes, nè gli abitanti di Bet-anat; anzi abitò per mezzo i Cananei che abitavano nel paese; e gli abitanti di Bet-semes, e di Bet-anat, furono loro tributari.
34E gli Amorrei tennero i figliuoli di Dan ristretti nel monte; perciocchè non li lasciavano scender nella valle.
35E gli Amorrei si misero in cuore di abitare in Harheres, in Aialon, ed in Saalbim; ma, essendo la potenza di Giuseppe accresciuta, furono fatti tributari.
36E i confini degli Amorrei erano dalla salita di Acrabbim, dalla Rocca in su.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y ACONTECIÓ después de la muerte de Josué, que los hijos de Israel consultaron á Jehová, diciendo: ¿Quién subirá por nosotros el primero á pelear contra los Cananeos?
2Y Jehová respondió: Judá subirá; he aquí que yo he entregado la tierra en sus manos.
3Y Judá dijo á Simeón su hermano: Sube conmigo á mi suerte, y peleemos contra el Cananeo, y yo también iré contigo á tu suerte. Y Simeón fué con él.
4Y subió Judá, y Jehová entregó en sus manos al Cananeo y al Pherezeo; y de ellos hirieron en Bezec diez mil hombres.
5Y hallaron á Adoni-bezec en Bezec, y pelearon contra él: é hirieron al Cananeo y al Pherezeo.
6Mas Adoni-bezec huyó; y siguiéronle, y prendiéronle, y cortáronle los pulgares de las manos y de los pies.
7Entonces dijo Adoni-bezec: Setenta reyes, cortados los pulgares de sus manos y de sus pies, cogían las migajas debajo de mi mesa: como yo hice, así me ha pagado Dios. Y metiéronle en Jerusalem, donde murió.
8Y habían combatido los hijos de Judá á Jerusalem, y la habían tomado, y metido á cuchillo, y puesto á fuego la ciudad.
9Después los hijos de Judá descendieron para pelear contra el Cananeo que habitaba en las montañas, y al mediodía, y en los llanos.
10Y partió Judá contra el Cananeo que habitaba en Hebrón, la cual se llamaba antes Chîriath-arba; é hirieron á Sesai, y á Ahiman, y á Talmai.
11Y de allí fué á los que habitaban en Debir, que antes se llamaba Chîriath-sepher.
12Y dijo Caleb: El que hiriere á Chîriath-sepher, y la tomare, yo le daré á Axa mi hija por mujer.
13Y tomóla Othoniel hijo de Cenez, hermano menor de Caleb: y él le dió á Axa su hija por mujer.
14Y cuando la llevaban, persuadióle que pidiese á su padre un campo. Y ella se apeó del asno, y Caleb le dijo: ¿Qué tienes?
15Ella entonces le respondió: Dame una bendición: que pues me has dado tierra de secadal, me des también fuentes de aguas. Entonces Caleb le dió las fuentes de arriba y las fuentes de abajo.
16Y los hijos de Cineo, suegro de Moisés, subieron de la ciudad de las palmas con los hijos de Judá al desierto de Judá, que está al mediodía de Arad: y fueron y habitaron con el pueblo.
17Y fué Judá á su hermano Simeón, é hirieron al Cananeo que habitaba en Sephath, y asoláronla: y pusieron por nombre á la ciudad, Horma.
18Tomó también Judá á Gaza con su término, y á Ascalón con su término, y á Ecrón con su término.
19Y fué Jehová con Judá, y echó á los de las montañas; mas no pudo echar á los que habitaban en los llanos, los cuales tenían carros herrados.
20Y dieron Hebrón á Caleb, como Moisés había dicho: y él echó de allí tres hijos de Anac.
21Mas al Jebuseo que habitaba en Jerusalem, no echaron los hijos de Benjamín, y así el Jebuseo habitó con los hijos de Benjamín en Jerusalem hasta hoy.
22También los de la casa de José subieron á Beth-el; y fué Jehová con ellos.
23Y los de la casa de José pusieron espías en Beth-el, la cual ciudad antes se llamaba Luz.
24Y los que espiaban vieron un hombre que salía de la ciudad, y dijéronle: Muéstranos ahora la entrada de la ciudad, y haremos contigo misericordia.
25Y él les mostró la entrada á la ciudad, é hiriéronla á filo de espada; mas dejaron á aquel hombre con toda su familia.
26Y fuese el hombre á la tierra de los Hetheos, y edificó una ciudad, á la cual llamó Luz: y este es su nombre hasta hoy.
27Tampoco Manasés echó á los de Beth-sean, ni á los de sus aldeas, ni á los de Taanach y sus aldeas, ni á los de Dor y sus aldeas, ni á los habitantes de Ibleam y sus aldeas, ni á los que habitaban en Megiddo y en sus aldeas: mas el Cananeo quiso habitar en esta tierra.
28Empero cuando Israel tomó fuerzas hizo al Cananeo tributario, mas no lo echó.
29Tampoco Ephraim echó al Cananeo que habitaba en Gezer; antes habitó el Cananeo en medio de ellos en Gezer.
30Tampoco Zabulón echó á los que habitaban en Chîtron y á los que habitaban en Naalol; mas el Cananeo habitó en medio de él, y le fueron tributarios.
31Tampoco Aser echó á los que habitaban en Achô, y á los que habitaban en Sidón, y en Ahlab, y en Achzib, y en Helba, y en Aphec, y en Rehod:
32Antes moró Aser entre los Cananeos que habitaban en la tierra; pues no los echó.
33Tampoco Nephtalí echó á los que habitaban en Beth-semes, y á los que habitaban en Beth-anath, sino que moró entre los Cananeos que habitaban en la tierra; mas fuéronle tributarios los moradores de Beth-semes, y los moradores de Beth-anath.
34Los Amorrheos apretaron á los hijos de Dan hasta el monte; que no los dejaron descender á la campiña.
35Y quiso el Amorrheo habitar en el monte de Heres, en Ajalón y en Saalbín; mas como la mano de la casa de José tomó fuerzas, hiciéronlos tributarios.
36Y el término del Amorrheo fué desde la subida de Acrabim, desde la piedra, y arriba.
King James Version
1Now 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?
2And the LORD said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.
3And 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.
4And 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.
5And they found Adoni-bezek in Bezek: and they fought against him, and they slew the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
6But Adoni-bezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.
7And 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.
8Now 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.
9And 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.
10And 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.
11And from thence he went against the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before was Kirjath-sepher:
12And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjath-sepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.
13And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.
14And 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?
15And 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.
16And 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.
17And 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.
18Also Judah took Gaza with the coast thereof, and Askelon with the coast thereof, and Ekron with the coast thereof.
19And 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.
20And they gave Hebron unto Caleb, as Moses said: and he expelled thence the three sons of Anak.
21And 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.
22And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Beth-el: and the LORD was with them.
23And the house of Joseph sent to descry Beth-el. (Now the name of the city before was Luz.)
24And 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.
25And 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.
26And 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.
27Neither 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.
28And it came to pass, when Israel was strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute, and did not utterly drive them out.
29Neither did Ephraim drive out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.
30Neither did Zebulun drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became tributaries.
31Neither 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:
32But the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: for they did not drive them out.
33Neither 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.
34And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the mountain: for they would not suffer them to come down to the valley:
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 tributaries.
36And the coast of the Amorites was from the going up to Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward.

1After the death of Joshua, the children of Israel asked of the LORD, saying, “Who should go up for us first against the Canaanites, to fight against them?”
2The LORD said, “Judah shall go up. Behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.”
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.
4Judah went up, and the LORD delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand. They struck ten thousand men in Bezek.
5They found Adoni-Bezek in Bezek, and they fought against him. They struck the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
6But Adoni-Bezek fled. They pursued him, caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his big toes.
7Adoni-Bezek said, “Seventy kings, having their thumbs and their big toes cut off, scavenged under my table. As I have done, so God has done to me.” They brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
8The children of Judah fought against Jerusalem, took it, struck it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.
9After that, 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.
10Judah went against the Canaanites who lived in Hebron. (The name of Hebron before that was Kiriath Arba.) They struck Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.
11From there he went against the inhabitants of Debir. (The name of Debir before that was Kiriath Sepher.)
12Caleb said, “I will give Achsah my daughter as wife to the man who strikes Kiriath Sepher, and takes it.”
13Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, took it, so he gave him Achsah his daughter as his wife.
14When she came, she got him to ask her father for a field. She got off her donkey; and Caleb said to her, “What would you like?”
15She said to him, “Give me a blessing; because 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.

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.
18Also Judah took Gaza with its border, and Ashkelon with its border, and Ekron with its border.
19The LORD 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.
20They gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had said, and he drove the three sons of Anak out of there.
21The children of Benjamin didn’t drive out the Jebusites who inhabited Jerusalem, but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.
22The house of Joseph also went up against Bethel, and the LORD was with them.
23The house of Joseph sent to spy out Bethel. (The name of the city before that was Luz.)
24The watchers saw a man come out of the city, and they said to him, “Please show us the entrance into the city, and we will deal kindly with you.”
25He showed them the entrance into the city, and they struck the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man and all his family go.
26The man went into the land of the Hittites, built a city, and called its name Luz, which is its name to this day.
27Manasseh didn’t 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.
28When Israel had grown strong, they put the Canaanites to forced labor, and didn’t utterly drive them out.
29Ephraim didn’t drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, but the Canaanites lived in Gezer among them.
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.
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;
32but the Asherites lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land, for they didn’t drive them out.
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;
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.
36The border of the Amorites was from the ascent of Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward.
