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?
Bangʼ tho Joshua, jo-Israel nopenjo Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Ere ngʼama biro dhi mokwongo mondo okednwa gi jo-Kanaan?”
2 And the Lord said, Judas shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.
Jehova Nyasaye nodwoko niya, “Dhood Juda ema biro dhi mokwongo; nimar asechiwo pinyno e lwetgi.”
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 you into your lot: and Symeon went with him.
Eka jo-Juda nowachone jo-Simeon mowetegi niya, “Biuru kodwa e gwengʼ mosepogwa, mondo waked gi jo-Kanaan. Wan bende wabiro dhi kodu e maru.” Omiyo jo-Simeon nodhi kodgi.
4 And Judas went up; and the Lord delivered the Chananite and the Pherezite into their hands, and they struck them in Bezek to [the number of] ten thousand men.
Kane jo-Juda omonjogi, Jehova Nyasaye nochiwo jo-Kanaan kod jo-Perizi e lwetgi kendo neginego ji alufu apar Bezek.
5 And they overtook Adonibezek in Bezek, and fought against him; and they struck the Chananite and the Pherezite.
Kanyo ema ne giyudoe Adoni-Bezek kendo negikedo kode, mi giloyo jo-Kanaan gi jo-Perizi.
6 And Adonibezek fled, and they pursued after him, and took him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.
Adoni-Bezek noringo mondo oyombgi, to ne gilawe ma gimake kendo gingʼado lith lwetene mathuon kod lith tiendene mathuon.
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.
Eka Adoni-Bezek nowacho niya, “Ruodhi piero abiriyo ma lith lwetegi mathuon kod lith tiendegi mathuon osengʼad oko osebedo ka chamo ngʼinjo e bwo mesana. Koro Nyasaye osechula kuom gigo mane atimonegi.” Negikele Jerusalem, kendo notho kanyo.
8 And the children of Judas fought against Jerusalem, and took it, and struck with the edge of the sword, and they burnt the city with fire.
Jo-Juda bende nomonjo Jerusalem kendo ne gikawe. Negimonjo dala maduongʼno gi ligangla kendo gimoko mach kuome.
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.
Bangʼ mano, jo-Juda nodhi mondo giked gi jo-Kanaan modak e piny manie got Negev kod tiend gode mantiere yo podho chiengʼ.
10 And Judas went to the Chananite who lived in Chebron; and Chebron came out against him; [and the name of Chebron before was Cariatharbocsepher: ] and they struck Sessi, and Achiman, and Tholmi, children of Enac.
Negidhi nyime kendo gikedo gi jo-Kanaan modak Hebron (machon ne iluongo ni Kiriath Arba) kendo negiloyo Sheshai, Ahiman kod Talmai.
11 And they went up thence to the inhabitants of Dabir; but the name of Dabir was before Cariathsepher, the city of Letters.
Koa kanyo negisudo nyime kendo gimonjo joma odak Debir (machon ne iluongo ni Kiriath Sefa).
12 And Chaleb said, Whosoever shall strike the city of Letters, and shall first take it, I will give to him Ascha my daughter to wife.
To Kaleb nowacho niya, “Anachiw nyara Aksa mondo okendi gi ngʼatno manoked ma kaw Kiriath Sefa.”
13 And Gothoniel the younger son of Kenez the brother of Chaleb took it; and Chaleb gave him his daughter Ascha to wife.
Othniel wuod Kenaz, ma owadgi Kaleb matin, noloyo pinyno, omiyo Kaleb nomiye nyare Aksa mondo okendi.
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, You have sent me forth into a south land: and Chaleb said to her, What is your request?
Chiengʼ moro achiel kane obiro ir Othniel, nojiwe mondo okwa wuon mare puodho. Kane olor oa e pundane, Kaleb nopenje niya, “En angʼo midwaro ni mondo atimni?”
15 And Ascha said to him, Give me, I pray you, a blessing, for you have sent me forth into a south land, and you shall 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].
Nodwoko niya, “Timna ngʼwono makende. Nimar isemiya puodho man Negev, miya bende thidhna mar pi.” Omiyo Kaleb nomiye thidhna ma malo kod mamwalo.
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 lived with the people.
Nyikwa jo-Keni ma jaduongʼ Musa, nodhi koa e Dala Maduongʼ mar Jeriko ka en gi jo-Juda mondo gidag e dier jogo mantiere e thim mar Juda man Negev but Arad.
17 And Judas went with Symeon his brother, and struck the Chananite that inhabited Sepheth, and they utterly destroyed them; and they called the name of the city Anathema.
Eka jo-Juda nodhi gi jo-Simeon mowetegi mi gimonjo jo-Kanaan modak Zefath, kendo negiketho dala maduongʼno chuth. Emomiyo noluonge ni Horma.
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.
Jo-Juda bende nokawo Gaza, Ashkelon kod Ekron, ka dala maduongʼ moro ka moro nigi gwengʼe.
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.
Jehova Nyasaye ne nigi jo-Juda. Negikawo piny gode, to ne ok ginyal riembo joma ne odak e piny pewe, nikech ne gin-gi geche mag chuma.
20 And they gave Chebron to Chaleb, as Moses said; and thence he inherited the three cities of the children of Enac.
Kaka Musa ne osesingo, Hebron nomi Kaleb, mane oriembo yawuot Anak adek.
21 But the children of Benjamin did not take the inheritance of the Jebusite who lived in Jerusalem; and the Jebusite lived with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem until this day.
Jo-Benjamin, kata kamano, ne ok nyal loyo jo-Jebus, mane odak Jerusalem; nyaka kawuononi jo-Jebus pod odak kanyo gi jo-Benjamin.
22 And the sons of Joseph, they also went up to Baethel; and the Lord was with them.
Koro od Josef nomonjo Bethel, kendo Jehova Nyasaye ne ni kode.
23 And they encamped and surveyed Baethel: and the name of the city before was Luza.
Kane gioro ji mondo onon Bethel (machon yande iluongo ni Luz),
24 And the spies looked, and behold, a man went out of the city, and they took him; and they said to him, Show us the way into the city, and we will deal mercifully with you.
jonon pinygo noneno ngʼato ka wuok e dala maduongʼ kendo negiwachone niya, “Kinyiswa e yo midonjogo e dala cha to ok wabi yie mondo gimoro otimi.”
25 And he showed them the way into the city; and they struck the city with the edge of the sword; but they let go the man and his family.
Omiyo nonyisogi, kendo neginego ji duto mane ni e dala maduongʼno gi ligangla makmana ngʼat cha gi joge duto ema notony.
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.
Eka nodhi e piny jo-Hiti, kama nogeroe dala maduongʼ mi ochake ni Luz, ma mano e nyinge nyaka chil kawuono.
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.
To Manase ne ok oriembo jo-Beth Shan kata Tanak kata Dor kata Ibleam kata Megido kod alwora mar kuonde dak-gi, nimar jo-Kanaan noramo ni nyaka gidag e pinyno.
28 And it came to pass when Israel was strong, that he made the Chananite tributary, but did not utterly drive them out.
Kane jo-Israel osebedo motegno, negiloko jo-Kanaan wasumbinigi kendo ne ok giriembogi kata matin.
29 And Ephraim did not drive out the Chananite that lived in Gazer; and the Chananite lived in the midst of him in Gazer, and became tributary.
Kata jo-Efraim bende ne ok oriembo jo-Kanaan modak Gezer, to jo-Kanaan ne odhi nyime gidak e diergi.
30 And Zabulon did not drive out the inhabitants of Kedron, nor the inhabitants of Domana: and the Chananite lived in the midst of them, and became tributary to them.
Jo-Zebulun bende ne ok oriembo jo-Kanaan mane odak Kitron kata Nahahol, mane odongʼ e diergi; to ne gilokogi wasumbinigi.
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.
Jo-Asher bende ne ok oriembo joma ne odak Ako, Sidon, Alab, Akzib, Helba, Afek, kod Rehob,
32 And Aser lived in the midst of the Chananite who inhabited the land, for he could not drive him out.
kamano jo-Asher nodhi nyime mana gidak gi jo-Kanaan kendo ne ok giriembogi.
33 And Nephthali did not drive out the inhabitants of Baethsamys, nor the inhabitants of Baethanach; and Nephthali lived in the midst of the Chananite who inhabited the land: but the inhabitants of Bethsamys and of Baetheneth became tributary to them.
Jo-Naftali bende ne ok oriembo jogo mane odak Beth Shemesh kod Beth Anath, to negidak e dier jo-Kanaan mane weg pinyno kendo negiloko jogo mane odak Beth Shemesh kod Beth Anath wasumbinigi.
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.
Jo-Amor nochoko jo-Dan kamoro achiel e piny gode, mane ok oyienigi mondo gibi mwalo e piny pewe.
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.
Kendo jo-Amor noramo ni nyaka gidag e Got Heres, Aijalon kod Shalbim, to ka teko mar od Josef nomedore, gin bende nolokgi wasumbini.
36 And the border of the Amorite [was] from the going up of Acrabin, from the rock and upwards.
Tongʼ mar jo-Amor nochakore Akrabim nyaka Sela kendo mokalo kanyo.
