Judges 1
1 After 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?”
Tukun misa lal Joshua, mwet Israel elos siyuk sin LEUM GOD, “Su inmasrlon sruf inge ac tufah fahsr meet in mweun lain mwet Canaan?”
2 “Judah shall go up,” answered the LORD. “Indeed, I have delivered the land into their hands.”
Ac LEUM GOD El topuk, “Sruf lal Judah pa ac fahsr meet. Nga ac sang tuh in elos pa nununku acn we.”
3 Then 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.
Mwet in sruf lal Judah elos fahk nu sin mwet in sruf lal Simeon, “Fahsru wi kut som nu in acn se ituku nu sesr, kut tukeni mweuni mwet Canaan, na kut fah wi kowos pac nu ke acn se itukot nu suwos.” Na sruf lal Simeon
4 When Judah attacked, the LORD delivered the Canaanites and Perizzites into their hands, and they struck down ten thousand men at Bezek.
ac sruf lal Judah elos tukeni som mweun. LEUM GOD El sang kutangla nu selos fin mwet Canaan ac mwet Periz, ac oayapa elos kutangla singoul tausin mwet in acn Bezek.
5 And there they found Adoni-bezek and fought against him, striking down the Canaanites and Perizzites.
Elos konalak Adonibezek ingo ac mweunel.
6 As Adoni-bezek fled, they pursued him, seized him, and cut off his thumbs and big toes.
El kaingla, tusruktu elos ukwal nwe sruokilya ac pakela kuf lulap ke paol ac ke nial ah kewa.
7 Then 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.
Ac Adonibezek el fahk, “Tokosra itngoul su kufla kuf lulap ke paolos ac nialos, elos tuh eis kutkut in mongo ye tepu luk. Na pa inge God El furokma nu sik ma nga tuh oru nu selos.” Ac elos usalla nu Jerusalem ac el misa we.
8 Then the men of Judah fought against Jerusalem and captured it. They put the city to the sword and set it on fire.
Mwet in sruf lal Judah elos mweuni acn Jerusalem ac sruokya. Elos uniya mwet we, ac esukak siti sac.
9 Afterward, the men of Judah marched down to fight against the Canaanites living in the hill country, in the Negev, and in the foothills.
Tukun ma inge elos som mweuni mwet Canaan su muta fineol uh ac pe eol uh ac acn mwesis nu eir.
10 Judah also marched against the Canaanites who were living in Hebron (formerly known as Kiriath-arba), and they struck down Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.
Elos fahsryak lain mwet Canaan su muta in siti se pangpang Hebron, su mwet meet ah pangon Kiriath Arba. Elos kutangla ota tolu inge: Sheshai, Ahiman, ac Talmai.
11 From there they marched against the inhabitants of Debir (formerly known as Kiriath-sepher).
Tukun ma inge, mwet in sruf lal Judah elos som ac mweuni siti Debir, su pangpang Kiriath Sepher in pacl sac.
12 And Caleb said, “To the man who strikes down Kiriath-sepher and captures it, I will give my daughter Acsah in marriage.”
Sie sin mwet ingan, su pangpang Caleb, el fahk, “Nga ac elsalang Achsah, acn se nutik, tuh elan payuk nu sin mukul se ma ac sruokya siti Kiriath Sepher.”
13 So Othniel son of Caleb’s younger brother Kenaz captured the city, and Caleb gave his daughter Acsah to him in marriage.
Othniel, wen natul Kenaz su tamulel fusr wial Caleb, el kutangla acn Debir, na Caleb el eisalang Achsah tuh elan mutan kial.
14 One 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?”
In len in marut laltal ah, Othniel el kwafe sel Achsah elan siyuk sin papa tumal ah ke sie ipin acn. Na ke Achsah el fani liki donkey natul, Caleb el siyuk sel lah oasr ma el lungse.
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.
Na Achsah el fahk, “Nga lungse kutu luf in kof. Acn ma kom ase luk meet ah acn na pao.” Na Caleb el sang lal unon in kof su oan lucng ac ten in acn Gulloth.
16 Now 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.
Mwet Ken, su sou lun papa tumun mutan kial Moses, elos wi mwet Judah som liki acn Jericho, siti in sak palm, nu yen mwesis nu eir, su oan sisken acn Arad in Judah. Ingo elos oakwuki muta inmasrlon mwet Amalek.
17 Then 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.
Mwet Judah elos wi mwet Simeon som mweuni mwet Canaan su muta in siti Zephath. Elos selngawiya siti sac, ac kunausla, ac sang inen acn sac Hormah.
18 And Judah also captured Gaza, Ashkelon, and Ekron—each with its territory.
Mwet Judah elos sruokya acn Gaza ac Ashkelon ac Ekron wi acn nukewa ma oan raunela acn inge.
19 The 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.
LEUM GOD El kasrelos mwet Judah, ac elos sruokya acn fineol uh, tusruktu elos koflana lusak mwet ma muta acn tupasrpasr, mweyen oasr chariot osra natulos.
20 Just as Moses had promised, Judah gave Hebron to Caleb, who drove out the descendants of the three sons of Anak.
In oana ma Moses el tuh sapkin ah, acn Hebron tuh itukyang lal Caleb su tuh lusak sou tolu natul Anak ah.
21 The Benjamites, however, failed to drive out the Jebusites living in Jerusalem. So to this day the Jebusites live there among the Benjamites.
Tusruktu mwet in sruf lal Benjamin elos tuh tiana lusak mwet Jebus ma muta Jerusalem, oru mwet Jebus inge srakna muta inmasrlon sruf lal Benjamin nwe misenge.
22 The house of Joseph also attacked Bethel, and the LORD was with them.
Sruf lal Ephraim ac sruf lal Manasseh elos som ac lain acn Bethel, ac LEUM GOD El welulos.
23 They sent spies to Bethel (formerly known as Luz),
Elos supwala mwet kalngeyuk nu Bethel (inen siti sacn meet pa Luz).
24 and 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.”
Ac ke mwet kalngeyuk inge liye sie mwet illa liki siti uh, elos fahk nu sel, “Fahkma nu sesr lah kut ac utyak fuka nu in siti uh, na kut ac kulang nu sum.”
25 So 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.
Na mwet sac fahkang nu selos, na mwet Ephraim ac mwet Manasseh inge elos uniya mwet nukewa in siti sac sayen mwet se ma kasrelos ah ac sou lal ah.
26 And the man went to the land of the Hittites, built a city, and called it Luz, which is its name to this day.
Tok mwet sac som nu in acn sin mwet Hit ac musaeak siti se we, ac pangon acn sac Luz. Srakna pangpang acn sac Luz nwe misenge.
27 At 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.
Sruf lal Manasseh tuh tiana lusak mwet ma muta in siti Beth Shan, Taanach, Dor, Ibleam, Megiddo, ac acn ma oan apkuran nu in acn inge. Oru mwet Canaan elos mutana in facl sac.
28 When Israel became stronger, they pressed the Canaanites into forced labor, but they never drove them out completely.
Ke mwet Israel elos kui, na elos sang orekma na upa nu sin mwet Canaan inge, tusruktu elos tiana luselosla.
29 Ephraim also failed to drive out the Canaanites living in Gezer; so the Canaanites continued to dwell among them in Gezer.
Sruf lal Ephraim elos tiana lusak mwet Canaan su muta in siti Gezer, oru mwet inge elos mutana inmasrlolos.
30 Zebulun failed to drive out the inhabitants of Kitron and Nahalol; so the Canaanites lived among them and served as forced laborers.
Sruf lal Zebulun tuh tiana lusak mwet muta in siti Kitron ac Nahalal, oru mwet Canaan inge elos srak pacna mutana inmasrlolos, tusruktu akkohsyeyuk elos in orekma nu sin mwet Zebulun.
31 Asher failed to drive out the inhabitants of Acco, Sidon, Ahlab, Achzib, Helbah, Aphik, and Rehob.
Sruf lal Asher tuh tiana lusla mwet muta in siti Acco, Sidon, Ahlab, Achzib, Helbah, Aphek, ac Rehob.
32 So the Asherites lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land, because they did not drive them out.
Mwet ke sruf lal Asher elos tuh wi na mwet Canaan inge muta, ke sripen elos tiana luselosla.
33 Naphtali 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.
Sruf lal Naphtali tiana lusla mwet ma muta in siti Beth Shemesh ac Bethanath. Mwet Naphtali inge wi na mwet Canaan inge muta, tusruktu elos akkohsyelos in orekma nu selos.
34 The Amorites forced the Danites into the hill country and did not allow them to come down into the plain.
Mwet Amor elos lusak mwet in sruf lal Dan nu fineol uh, ac tia lela elos in tuku nu yen tupasrpasr uh.
35 And 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.
Mwet Amor elos mutana in Aijalon, Shaalbim, ac Fineol Heres, tusruktu sruf lal Ephraim ac Manasseh elos leum faclos ac akkohsyelos in orekma nu selos.
36 And the border of the Amorites extended from the Ascent of Akrabbim to Sela and beyond.
Masrol ke acn Edom ac Ephraim mutawauk ke acn Sela fahsryak nu epang ac sasla ke Innek In Utyak Nu Akrabbim.
