< Judges 1 >

1 And it came to pass after the death of Joshua, that the children of Israel enquired of the Lord, saying, Who shall go up for us first against the Chananites, to fight against them?
Erga Iyyaasuun duʼee booddee Israaʼeloonni, “Kanaʼaanota loluudhaaf eenyu dursee nuuf haa baʼu?” jedhanii Waaqayyoon gaafatan.
2 And the Lord said, Judas shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.
Waaqayyos, “Yihuudaan dursee haa baʼu; kunoo, ani biyyattii dabarsee harka isaatti kenneera” jedhee deebiseef.
3 And Judas said to his brother Symeon, Come up with me into my lot, and let us array ourselves against the Chananites, and I also will go with thee into thy lot: and Symeon went with him.
Namoonni Yihuudaas obboloota isaanii ilmaan Simiʼooniin, “Kottaa gara lafa qooda keenyaatti Kanaʼaanota loluuf wajjin baanaa; nus gama keenyaan gara lafa qooda keessaniitti isin wajjin ni baanaa” jedhan. Kanaafuu namoonni Simiʼoon isaan wajjin baʼan.
4 And Judas went up; and the Lord delivered the Chananite and the Pherezite into their hands, and they smote them in Bezek to [the number of] ten thousand men.
Yommuu Yihuudaan baʼettis Waaqayyo Kanaʼaanotaa fi Feerzota dabarsee harka isaaniitti kenne; isaanis iddoo Bezeq jedhamutti nama kuma kudhan fixan.
5 And they overtook Adonibezek in Bezek, and fought against him; and they smote the Chananite and the Pherezite.
Achittis Adoonii-Bezeq arganii isa lolan; Kanaʼaanotaa fi Feerzotas moʼatan.
6 And Adonibezek fled, and they pursued after him, and took him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.
Adoonii-Bezeq achii baqate; isaan garuu ariʼanii isa qaban; quba abbuudduu harkaatii fi quba abbuudduu miilla isaa irraa kutan.
7 And Adonibezek said, Seventy kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered [their food] under my table: as I therefore have done, so God has recompensed me: and they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
Ergasiis Adoonii-Bezeq, “Mootonni qubni abbuudduun harka isaaniitii fi qubni abbuudduun miilla isaanii irraa cirame torbaatamni waan maaddii koo jalatti harcaʼe funaannachaa turan. Amma garuu Waaqni waanuma ani isaanitti hojjedhe naa deebise” jedhe. Isaanis Yerusaalemitti isa fidan; innis achitti duʼe.
8 And the children of Judas fought against Jerusalem, and took it, and smote with the edge of the sword, and they burnt the city with fire.
Namoonni Yihuudaa Yerusaalemiinis akkasuma dhaʼanii qabatan. Magaalattiis goraadeedhaan dhaʼanii ibidda itti qabsiisan.
9 And afterwards the children of Judas went down to fight with the Chananite dwelling in the hill country, and the south, and the plain country.
Ergasiis namoonni Yihuudaa Kanaʼaanota biyya gaaraa, Negeebii fi gammoojjii karaa lixa biiftuu keessa jiraatan loluudhaaf gad buʼan.
10 And Judas went to the Chananite who dwelt in Chebron; and Chebron came out against him; [and the name of Chebron before was Cariatharbocsepher: ] and they smote Sessi, and Achiman, and Tholmi, children of Enac.
Namoota Kanaʼaan kanneen Kebroon ishee dur Kiriyaati Arbaaq jedhamtu keessa jiraatanittis duulanii Sheeshaayiin, Ahiimanii fi Talmaayin moʼatan.
11 And they went up thence to the inhabitants of Dabir; but the name of Dabir was before Cariathsepher, the city of Letters.
Achiis namoota biyya Debiir ishee dur Kiriyaati Seefer jedhamaa turte sana keessa jiraatanitti duulan.
12 And Chaleb said, Whosoever shall smite the city of Letters, and shall first take it, I will give to him Ascha my daughter to wife.
Kaalebis, “Ani nama Kiriyaati Seefer lolee qabatutti intala koo Aaksaa nan heerumsiisa” jedhe.
13 And Gothoniel the younger son of Kenez the brother of Chaleb took it; and Chaleb gave him his daughter Ascha to wife.
Obboleessi Kaaleb quxisuun, Otniiʼeel ilmi Qenaz magaalattii qabate; Kaalebis intala isaa Aaksaa isatti heerumsiise.
14 And it came to pass as she went in, that Gothoniel urged her to ask a field of her father; and she murmured and cried from off her ass, Thou hast sent me forth into a south land: and Chaleb said to her, What is thy request?
Isheenis yeroo gara Otniiʼeel dhuftetti, akka inni abbaa ishee lafa qotiisaa kadhatu isa kakaafte. Kaalebis yommuu isheen harree ishee irraa buutetti, “Ani maal siif godhu?” jedhee ishee gaafate.
15 And Ascha said to him, Give me, I pray thee, a blessing, for thou hast sent me forth into a south land, and thou shalt give me the ransom of water: and Chaleb gave her according to her heart the ransom of the upper [springs] and the ransom of the low [springs].
Isheenis deebiftee, “Waan addaa tokko naa godhi. Akkuma Negeeb keessatti lafa naa kennite sana burqaawwan bishaaniis naa kenni” jetteen. Kaalebis burqaawwan oliitii fi gadii kenneef.
16 And the children of Jothor the Kenite the father-in-law of Moses went up from the city of palm-trees with the children of Judas, to the wilderness that is in the south of Juda, which is at the descent of Arad, and they dwelt with the people.
Sanyiiwwan Qeenii namicha abbaa niitii Musee sanaa namoota gammoojjii Yihuudaa keessa Negeeb ishee Aaraad biratti argamtu keessa jiraatan gidduu jiraachuuf jedhanii namoota Yihuudaa wajjin Magaalaa Meexxiitii ol baʼan.
17 And Judas went with Symeon his brother, and smote the Chananite that inhabited Sepheth, and they utterly destroyed them; and they called the name of the city Anathema.
Namoonni Yihuudaa obboloota isaanii ilmaan Simiʼoon wajjin dhaqanii Kanaʼaanota Zefaati keessa jiraatan waraanan; magaalattiis guutumaan guutuutti barbadeessan. Kanaafuu magaalattiin Hormaa jedhamtee waamamte.
18 But Judas did not inherit Gaza nor her coasts, nor Ascalon nor her coasts, nor Accaron nor her coasts, [nor] Azotus nor the lands around it.
Akkasumas namoonni Yihuudaa Gaazaa gandoota naannoo ishee wajjin, Ashqaloon gandoota naannoo ishee wajjin, Eqroon naannoo ishee wajjin qabatan.
19 And the Lord was with Judas, and he inherited the mountain; for they were not able to destroy the inhabitants of the valley, for Rechab prevented them.
Waaqayyo namoota Yihuudaa wajjin ture. Kanaafuu isaan biyya gaaraa sana qabatan; garuu sababii namoonni dirree irra jiraatan gaariiwwan sibiilaa qabaniif achii isaan baasuu hin dandeenye.
20 And they gave Chebron to Chaleb, as Moses said; and thence he inherited the three cities of the children of Enac.
Akkuma Museen abdachiisee turetti Kebroon Kaalebiif kennamte; innis ilmaan Anaaq sadan achii ariʼee baase.
21 But the children of Benjamin did not take the inheritance of the Jebusite who dwelt in Jerusalem; and the Jebusite dwelt with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem until this day.
Ijoolleen Beniyaam garuu Yebuusota Yerusaalem keessa jiraachaa turan sana achii baasuu hin dandeenye; hamma ammaatti Yebuusonni Beniyaamota wajjin iddoo sana jiraatan.
22 And the sons of Joseph, they also went up to Baethel; and the Lord was with them.
Gosti Yoosef immoo Beetʼeel waraanan; Waaqayyos isaan wajjin ture.
23 And they encamped and surveyed Baethel: and the name of the city before was Luza.
Yommuu isaan gara Beetʼeel ishee dur Luuzi jedhamtutti basaastota erganitti,
24 And the spies looked, and behold, a man went out of the city, and they took him; and they said to him, Shew us the way into the city, and we will deal mercifully with thee.
basaastonni sun namicha magaalaadhaa baʼee dhufu tokko arganii, “Karaa ittiin magaalaa seenan nu argisiisi; nus waan gaarii siif goona” jedhaniin.
25 And he shewed them the way into the city; and they smote the city with the edge of the sword; but they let go the man and his family.
Innis itti argisiise; isaanis namicha sanaa fi maatii isaa guutuu dhiisanii magaalaa sana goraadeedhaan dhaʼan.
26 And the man went into the land of Chettin, and built there a city, and called the name of it Luza; this [is] its name until this day.
Namichis gara Heetotaa deemee magaalaa Loozaa jedhamtu hundeesse; isheenis hamma ammaatti Luuzi jedhamtee waamamti.
27 And Manasse did not drive out [the inhabitants of] Baethsan, which is a city of Scythians, nor her towns, nor her suburbs; nor Thanac, nor her towns; nor the inhabitants of Dor, nor her suburbs, nor her towns; nor the inhabitant of Balac, nor her suburbs, nor her towns; nor the inhabitants of Magedo, nor her suburbs, nor her towns; nor the inhabitants of Jeblaam, nor her suburbs, nor her towns; and the Chananite began to dwell in this land.
Minaaseen garuu namoota Beet Sheʼaaniitii fi gandoota naannoo ishee yookaan Taʼanaakii fi gandoota naannoo ishee yookaan Doorii fi gandoota naannoo ishee yookaan Yibleʼaamii fi gandoota naannoo ishee yookaan Megidoo fi gandoota naannoo ishee jiraatan achii hin baafne; kanaafuu Kanaʼaanonni ittuma fufanii achi jiraachuuf murteeffatan.
28 And it came to pass when Israel was strong, that he made the Chananite tributary, but did not utterly drive them out.
Israaʼeloonni yommuu jabaachaa dhufanitti akka isaan hojii humnaa hojjetan isaan dirqisiisan malee Kanaʼaanota guutumaan guutuutti achii hin baafne.
29 And Ephraim did not drive out the Chananite that dwelt in Gazer; and the Chananite dwelt in the midst of him in Gazer, and became tributary.
Efreemis Kanaʼaanota Geezir keessa jiraatan achii hin baafne; Kanaʼaanonni garuu ittuma fufanii achuma isaan gidduu jiraatan.
30 And Zabulon did not drive out the inhabitants of Kedron, nor the inhabitants of Domana: and the Chananite dwelt in the midst of them, and became tributary to them.
Zebuuloonis Kanaʼaanota Qixroon yookaan Nahalol keessa jiraatan kanneen gidduu isaaniitti hafan hin baafne; garuu akka isaan hojii humnaa hojjetan godhan.
31 And Aser did not drive out the inhabitants of Accho, and [that people] became tributary to him, nor the inhabitants of Dor, nor the inhabitants of Sidon, nor the inhabitants of Dalaph, nor Aschazi, nor Chebda, nor Nai, nor Ereo.
Aasheeris warra Akoo yookaan Siidoon yookaan Ahilaab yookaan Akziib yookaan Helbaa yookaan Afiiqii fi Rehoob keessa jiraatan hin baafne;
32 And Aser dwelt in the midst of the Chananite who inhabited the land, for he could not drive him out.
namoonni Aasheer sababii isaan jara ariʼanii hin baasiniif Kanaʼaanota biyya sana jiran gidduu jiraatan.
33 And Nephthali did not drive out the inhabitants of Baethsamys, nor the inhabitants of Baethanach; and Nephthali dwelt in the midst of the Chananite who inhabited the land: but the inhabitants of Bethsamys and of Baetheneth became tributary to them.
Niftaalem warra Beet Shemeshii fi Beet Anaati keessa jiraatan hin baafne; namoonni Niftaalem garuu Kanaʼaanota biyya sana turan gidduu jiraatan; warri Beet Shemeshii fi Beet Anaati dirqamsiifamanii hojii humnaa hojjechaafii turan.
34 And the Amorite drove out the children of Dan into the mountains, for they did not suffer them to come down into the valley.
Amooronni immoo warra Daan gara biyya gaaraatti dhiiban malee akka isaan sululatti gad buʼan hin eeyyamneef ture.
35 And the Amorite began to dwell in the mountain of shells, in which [are] bears, and foxes, in Myrsinon, and in Thalabin; and the hand of the house of Joseph was heavy upon the Amorite, and he became tributary to them.
Amooronnis itti fufanii Tulluu Herees irra, Ayaaloonii fi Shaʼalbiim keessa jiraatan; garuu yommuu humni mana Yoosef jabaachaa dhufetti isaanis hojii humnaa isaanii hojjechuuf dirqisiifaman.
36 And the border of the Amorite [was] from the going up of Acrabin, from the rock and upwards.
Daariin Amoorotaa Aqrabiimii jalqabee karaa Seelaatiin ol baʼa ture.
