1.1 Præfatio Hebraice SOPHETIMATHANAS., in Synopsi. Vocatur hic liber Judicum, propterea quod post mortem Jesu Nave, populum suum Deus a relictis Chananæorum gentibus pressum, per judices servavit; quorum hoc volumine singulorum facta et vitæ tempus continentur, etc. Fuerunt autem numero tredecim: et anni illorum fuerunt quadringenti et undecim. ISID., in lib. Judic., cap. 1. Historia libri Judicum non parva mysteriorum indicat sacramenta. Post Josue enim succedunt Judices, sicut post Christum apostoli et ecclesiarum rectores ad regendos fideles, quos ipse ad spem promissionis æternæ perducit. Per omnia autem in hoc volumine Judaici populi delicta, et servitus clamorque eorum et miseratio Dei continentur. Multis enim annis pro peccatis suis servierunt, et conversi liberati sunt: quia peccata nostra vires hostibus præbent; et quando malum facimus in conspectu Domini, confortantur adversarii nostri, id est dæmones. Cum autem convertimur, suscitat Deus judices et salvatores, id est principes et doctores quos mittit in auxilium eorum qui toto corde clamant ad Deum. AUG., quæst. 1 in lib. Judic. In fine libri Jesu Nave breviter narrator porrexit historiam quousque filii Isræl ad colendos deos alienos declinaverunt. In hoc autem libro ad ordinem reditur, quomodo consequentia gesta fuerint post mortem Jesu Nave. Non ergo ab illo tempore incipit liber, quo populus ad colenda simulacra defluxit: sed a prioribus, interpositis temporibus, quibus ea gesta sunt, postquam ad illa pervenit.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent

וַ⁠יְהִ֗י

and=he/it_was

The author is using the phrase And it happened to introduce a new event in the story of the people of Israel, which continues here in the book of Judges at the point where it left off at the end of the book of Joshua. Use a word, phrase, or other method in your language that is natural for introducing a new event.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל

sons_of Yisrael

See the discussion of the phrase the sons of Israel in the Introduction to Judges. Alternate translation: “the people of Israel”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

מִ֣י יַעֲלֶה

who? it_will_ascend

The Israelites are asking Yahweh which of their tribes should be the first to go into its allotment and fight against the Canaanites living there. They are speaking of that tribe as if it were an individual person. (The verb in this phrase is singular, indicating that Who is also singular.) See the discussion of this issue, which occurs several times in this chapter, in the General Notes to this chapter. Alternate translation: “What tribe will go up”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

לָּ֧⁠נוּ

to/for=ourselves

By us, the Israelites mean themselves but not Yahweh, to whom they are speaking, so use the exclusive form of that word in your translation if your language marks that distinction.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

הַֽ⁠כְּנַעֲנִ֛י & בּֽ⁠וֹ

the,Canaanites & in/on/over=him/it

As the General Notes to this chapter discuss, here and in similar instances throughout the chapter, this is not a reference to a specific Canaanite. Rather, it refers to the Canaanites or the Canaanite nations in general. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using plural forms. Alternate translation: “the Canaanites … against them” or “the Canaanite nations … against them”
