Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Nabihag ng Lahi ni Juda at ng Lahi ni Simeon si Adoni Bezek
1 Pagkamatay ni Josue, nagtanong ang mga Israelita sa Panginoon kung sino sa mga lahi nila ang unang makikipaglaban sa mga Cananeo. 2 Sumagot ang Panginoon, “Ang lahi ni Juda, dahil ipinagkatiwala ko sa kanila ang lupaing iyon.” 3 Kaya sinabi ng lahi ni Juda sa lahi ni Simeon na kanilang kadugo, “Tulungan nʼyo kaming sakupin ang lugar ng mga Cananeo na para sa amin at tutulungan din namin kayo na sakupin ang lugar na para sa inyo.” Kaya tinulungan sila ng lahi ni Simeon sa labanan. 4-5 Nang lumusob ang angkan ni Juda, pinagtagumpay sila ng Panginoon laban sa mga Cananeo at Perezeo. May 10,000 tao ang napatay nila sa Bezek. Habang nakikipaglaban sila sa Bezek, nakalaban nila roon si Adoni Bezek na hari sa lugar na iyon. 6 Tumakas si Adoni Bezek, pero hinabol siya ng mga Israelita at nahuli. Pinutol nila ang mga hinlalaki nito sa kamay at paa. 7 Sinabi ni Adoni Bezek, “Noon, may 70 hari ang pinutulan ko ng hinlalaki sa kamay at paa at namulot sila ng mumo sa ilalim ng aking mesa. Ngayon, sinisingil na ako ng Dios sa ginawa ko sa kanila.” At dinala nila si Adoni Bezek sa Jerusalem, at doon siya namatay.
8 Nilusob ng mga lahi ni Juda ang Jerusalem at sinakop nila ito. Pinatay nila ang mga naninirahan doon at sinunog ang lungsod. 9 Pagkatapos, kinalaban nila ang mga Cananeo na nakatira sa mga kabundukan, sa Negev at sa mga kaburulan sa kanluran.[a] 10 Nilusob din nila ang mga Cananeo na nakatira sa Hebron (na noon ay tinatawag na Kiriat Arba), at pinatay nila sina Sheshai, Ahiman at Talmai.
Sinakop ni Otniel ang Lungsod ng Debir(A)
11 Mula sa Hebron, nilusob din nila ang mga nakatira sa Debir (na noon ay tinatawag na Kiriat Sefer). 12 Sinabi ni Caleb, “Ibibigay ko bilang asawa ang anak kong si Acsa sa lalaking makakaagaw ng Kiriat Sefer.” 13 Si Otniel na anak ni Kenaz na nakababatang kapatid ni Caleb ang nakaagaw ng lungsod. Kaya sa kanya ibinigay ni Caleb ang anak niyang si Acsa para maging asawa. 14 Nang ikinasal na sila, hinikayat ni Acsa ang asawa niya na humingi sila ng dagdag na lupain sa ama nito. Pagkatapos, pumunta si Acsa kay Caleb, at nang makababa na siya sa kanyang asno, tinanong siya ni Caleb kung ano ang kailangan niya. 15 Sumagot si Acsa, “Hihingi po sana ako ng pabor sa inyo, gusto ko po sanang bigyan nʼyo ako ng lupaing may mga bukal, dahil ang lupaing ibinigay nʼyo sa akin sa Negev ay walang bukal.” Kaya ibinigay sa kanya ni Caleb ang lugar na may mga bukal sa itaas at sa ibaba ng Negev.
Ang mga Pananakop ng lahi ni Juda at ng lahi ni Benjamin
16 Pag-alis ng lahi ni Juda sa lungsod ng Jerico,[b] sumama sa kanila ang mga Keneo, na mula sa angkan ng biyenan ni Moises, papunta sa ilang ng Juda. Tumira sila kasama ng mga tao roon, malapit sa bayan ng Arad sa Negev.
17 Pagkatapos, ang lahi naman ni Simeon ang tinulungan ng lahi ni Juda na sakupin ang lungsod ng Zefat na tinitirhan din ng mga Cananeo. Winasak nila nang husto[c] ang lungsod, kaya tinawag itong Horma.[d] 18 Sinakop din nila ang mga lungsod ng Gaza, Ashkelon at Ekron, pati ang mga teritoryo nito sa paligid.
19 Tinulungan ng Panginoon ang mga lahi ng Juda. Sinakop nila ang mga kabundukan, pero hindi nila madaig ang mga tao na nakatira sa mga kapatagan dahil may mga karwahe silang yari sa bakal. 20 At tulad ng ipinangako ni Moises, ibinigay kay Caleb ang Hebron. Itinaboy ni Caleb ang tatlong pamilya na nakatira sa lugar na ito, na mula sa angkan ni Anak. 21 Hindi itinaboy ng lahi ni Benjamin ang mga Jebuseo na nakatira sa Jerusalem. Kaya hanggang ngayon, naninirahan pa rin ang mga ito kasama ng mga lahi ni Benjamin.
Sinakop ng Dalawang Lahi ni Jose ang Betel
22-23 Ngayon, nilusob ng mga lahi ni Jose ang lungsod ng Betel (na noon ay tinatawag na Luz), at tinulungan sila ng Panginoon. Nang nagpadala sila ng mga tao para mag-espiya sa Betel, 24 may nakita ang mga espiya na isang tao na papalabas mula sa lungsod na iyon. Sinabi nila sa kanya, “Tulungan mo kami kung paano makapasok sa lungsod at hindi ka namin gagalawin.” 25 Tinuruan niya sila, at pinatay nila ang lahat ng nakatira sa lungsod na iyon. Pero hindi nila pinatay ang tao na nagturo sa kanila pati ang buong sambahayan nito. 26 Ang taong itoʼy pumunta sa lupain ng mga Heteo, at doon nagtayo ng isang lungsod na tinawag niyang Luz. Ito pa rin ang pangalan nito hanggang ngayon.
Ang mga Tao na Hindi Itinaboy ng mga Israelita sa Kanilang mga Lupain
27 Hindi itinaboy[e] ng lahi ni Manase ang mga nakatira sa Bet Shan, Taanac, Dor, Ibleam, Megido, at ang mga bayan sa paligid ng mga ito dahil determinado ang mga Cananeo na huwag umalis sa lupaing iyon. 28 Nang naging makapangyarihan na ang mga Israelita, pinilit nila ang mga Cananeo na magtrabaho para sa kanila, pero hindi nila itinaboy ang mga ito.
29 Hindi rin itinaboy ng lahi ni Efraim ang mga nakatira sa Gezer. Kaya patuloy na nanirahan ang mga Cananeo kasama nila.
30 Hindi rin itinaboy ng lahi ni Zebulun ang mga Cananeo na naninirahan sa mga lungsod ng Kitron at Nahalol. Kaya patuloy na nanirahan ang mga Cananeo kasama nila. Pero pinilit silang magtrabaho para sa kanila.
31 Hindi rin itinaboy ng lahi ni Asher ang mga nakatira sa Aco, Sidon, Aczib, Helba, Afek at Rehob. 32 Kaya patuloy na nanirahan ang mga Cananeo roon kasama ng lahi ni Asher.
33 Hindi rin itinaboy ng lahi ni Naftali ang mga nakatira sa Bet Shemesh at Bet Anat. Kaya patuloy na nanirahan ang mga Cananeo kasama ng lahi ni Naftali. Pero pinilit silang magtrabaho para sa kanila.
34 Hindi naman pinahintulutan ng mga Amoreo na tumira sa kapatagan ang mga lahi ni Dan, kaya nanatili na lamang sila sa kabundukan. 35 Determinado ang mga Amoreo na huwag umalis sa Bundok ng Heres, Ayalon at Saalbim. Pero nang lumakas ang kapangyarihan ng mga angkan ni Jose, pinilit nila ang mga Amoreo na magtrabaho para sa kanila. 36 Ang hangganan ng lupain ng mga Amoreo ay mula sa Daang Paakyat ng Akrabim at paakyat pa mula sa Sela.

Judges 1
New International Version
Israel Fights the Remaining Canaanites(A)
1 After the death(B) of Joshua, the Israelites asked the Lord, “Who of us is to go up first(C) to fight against the Canaanites?(D)”
2 The Lord answered, “Judah(E) shall go up; I have given the land into their hands.(F)”
3 The men of Judah then said to the Simeonites their fellow Israelites, “Come up with us into the territory allotted to us, to fight against the Canaanites. We in turn will go with you into yours.” So the Simeonites(G) went with them.
4 When Judah attacked, the Lord gave the Canaanites and Perizzites(H) into their hands, and they struck down ten thousand men at Bezek.(I) 5 It was there that they found Adoni-Bezek(J) and fought against him, putting to rout the Canaanites and Perizzites. 6 Adoni-Bezek fled, but they chased him and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and big toes.
7 Then Adoni-Bezek said, “Seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off have picked up scraps under my table. Now God has paid me back(K) for what I did to them.” They brought him to Jerusalem,(L) and he died there.
8 The men of Judah attacked Jerusalem(M) also and took it. They put the city to the sword and set it on fire.
9 After that, Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites living in the hill country,(N) the Negev(O) and the western foothills. 10 They advanced against the Canaanites living in Hebron(P) (formerly called Kiriath Arba(Q)) and defeated Sheshai, Ahiman and Talmai.(R) 11 From there they advanced against the people living in Debir(S) (formerly called Kiriath Sepher).
12 And Caleb said, “I will give my daughter Aksah in marriage to the man who attacks and captures Kiriath Sepher.” 13 Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, took it; so Caleb gave his daughter Aksah to him in marriage.
14 One day when she came to Othniel, she urged him[a] to ask her father for a field. When she got off her donkey, Caleb asked her, “What can I do for you?”
15 She replied, “Do me a special favor. Since you have given me land in the Negev, give me also springs of water.” So Caleb gave her the upper and lower springs.(T)
16 The descendants of Moses’ father-in-law,(U) the Kenite,(V) went up from the City of Palms[b](W) with the people of Judah to live among the inhabitants of the Desert of Judah in the Negev near Arad.(X)
17 Then the men of Judah went with the Simeonites(Y) their fellow Israelites and attacked the Canaanites living in Zephath, and they totally destroyed[c] the city. Therefore it was called Hormah.[d](Z) 18 Judah also took[e] Gaza,(AA) Ashkelon(AB) and Ekron—each city with its territory.
19 The Lord was with(AC) the men of Judah. They took possession of the hill country,(AD) but they were unable to drive the people from the plains, because they had chariots fitted with iron.(AE) 20 As Moses had promised, Hebron(AF) was given to Caleb, who drove from it the three sons of Anak.(AG) 21 The Benjamites, however, did not drive out(AH) the Jebusites, who were living in Jerusalem;(AI) to this day the Jebusites live there with the Benjamites.
22 Now the tribes of Joseph(AJ) attacked Bethel,(AK) and the Lord was with them. 23 When they sent men to spy out Bethel (formerly called Luz),(AL) 24 the spies saw a man coming out of the city and they said to him, “Show us how to get into the city and we will see that you are treated well.(AM)” 25 So he showed them, and they put the city to the sword but spared(AN) the man and his whole family. 26 He then went to the land of the Hittites,(AO) where he built a city and called it Luz,(AP) which is its name to this day.
27 But Manasseh did not(AQ) drive out the people of Beth Shan or Taanach or Dor(AR) or Ibleam(AS) or Megiddo(AT) and their surrounding settlements, for the Canaanites(AU) were determined to live in that land. 28 When Israel became strong, they pressed the Canaanites into forced labor but never drove them out completely.(AV) 29 Nor did Ephraim(AW) drive out the Canaanites living in Gezer,(AX) but the Canaanites continued to live there among them.(AY) 30 Neither did Zebulun drive out the Canaanites living in Kitron or Nahalol, so these Canaanites lived among them, but Zebulun did subject them to forced labor. 31 Nor did Asher(AZ) drive out those living in Akko or Sidon(BA) or Ahlab or Akzib(BB) or Helbah or Aphek(BC) or Rehob.(BD) 32 The Asherites lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land because they did not drive them out. 33 Neither did Naphtali drive out those living in Beth Shemesh(BE) or Beth Anath(BF); but the Naphtalites too lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land, and those living in Beth Shemesh and Beth Anath became forced laborers for them. 34 The Amorites(BG) confined the Danites(BH) to the hill country, not allowing them to come down into the plain.(BI) 35 And the Amorites were determined also to hold out in Mount Heres,(BJ) Aijalon(BK) and Shaalbim,(BL) but when the power of the tribes of Joseph increased, they too were pressed into forced labor. 36 The boundary of the Amorites was from Scorpion Pass(BM) to Sela(BN) and beyond.(BO)

English Standard Version
The Continuing Conquest of Canaan
1 After the death of Joshua, the people of Israel (A)inquired of the Lord, (B)“Who shall go up first for us against the Canaanites, to fight against them?” 2 The Lord said, “Judah shall go up; behold, I have given the land into his hand.” 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. (C)And I likewise will go with you into the territory allotted to you.” So Simeon went with him. 4 Then Judah went up and the Lord gave the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand, and they defeated 10,000 of them at Bezek. 5 They found Adoni-bezek at Bezek and fought against him and defeated the Canaanites and the Perizzites. 6 Adoni-bezek fled, but they pursued him and caught him and cut off his thumbs and his big toes. 7 And Adoni-bezek said, “Seventy kings with their thumbs and their big toes cut off (D)used to pick up scraps under my table. (E)As I have done, so God has repaid me.” And they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
8 (F)And the men of Judah fought against Jerusalem and captured it and struck it with the edge of the sword and set the city on fire. 9 And afterward the men of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites who lived in (G)the hill country, in the Negeb, and in (H)the lowland. 10 (I)And Judah went against the Canaanites who lived in Hebron (J)(now the name of Hebron was formerly Kiriath-arba), and they defeated (K)Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai.
11 From there they went against the inhabitants of Debir. The name of Debir was formerly Kiriath-sepher. 12 And Caleb said, “He who attacks Kiriath-sepher and captures it, I will give him Achsah my daughter as wife.” 13 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, (L)Caleb's younger brother, captured it. And he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife. 14 When she came to him, she urged him to ask her father for a field. And she dismounted from her donkey, and Caleb said to her, “What do you want?” 15 She said to him, “Give me a blessing. Since you have given me the land of the Negeb, give me also springs of water.” And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
16 And the descendants of the (M)Kenite, Moses' father-in-law, went up with the people of Judah (N)from the city of palms into the wilderness of Judah, which lies in the Negeb near (O)Arad, (P)and they went and settled with the people. 17 (Q)And Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they defeated the Canaanites who inhabited Zephath and devoted it to destruction. So the name of the city was called (R)Hormah.[a] 18 Judah also (S)captured Gaza with its territory, and Ashkelon with its territory, and Ekron with its territory. 19 (T)And the Lord was with Judah, and he took possession of the (U)hill country, but he could not drive out the inhabitants of the plain because they had (V)chariots of iron. 20 (W)And Hebron was given to Caleb, as Moses had said. And he drove out from it (X)the three sons of Anak. 21 But the people of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who lived in Jerusalem, (Y)so the Jebusites have lived with the people of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.
22 The house of Joseph also went up against Bethel, (Z)and the Lord was with them. 23 And the house of Joseph scouted out Bethel. ((AA)Now the name of the city was formerly Luz.) 24 And the spies saw a man coming out of the city, and they said to him, “Please show us the way into the city, (AB)and we will deal kindly with you.” 25 And he showed them the way into the city. And they struck the city with the edge of the sword, but they let the man and all his family go. 26 And the man went to (AC)the land of the Hittites and built a city and called its name Luz. That is its name to this day.
Failure to Complete the Conquest
27 (AD)Manasseh did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shean and its villages, or Taanach 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, for the Canaanites persisted in dwelling in that land. 28 When Israel grew strong, they put the Canaanites to forced labor, but did not drive them out completely.
29 (AE)And Ephraim did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, so the Canaanites lived in Gezer among them.
30 Zebulun did not drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, or the inhabitants of (AF)Nahalol, so the Canaanites lived among them, but became subject to forced labor.
31 (AG)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 so the Asherites lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land, for they did not drive them out.
33 Naphtali did not drive out the inhabitants of (AH)Beth-shemesh, or the inhabitants of Beth-anath, so they lived 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 (AI)The Amorites pressed the people of Dan back into the hill country, for they did not allow them to come down to the plain. 35 The Amorites persisted in dwelling in Mount Heres, (AJ)in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim, but the hand of the house of Joseph rested heavily on them, and they became subject to forced labor. 36 And the border of the Amorites ran from (AK)the ascent of Akrabbim, from Sela and upward.
