Judges 1
1 And it came to pass after the death of Joshua that the children of Israel asked Jehovah, saying, Which of us shall go up against the Canaanites first, to fight against them?
Sima na kufa ya Jozue, bana ya Isalaele batunaki Yawe: — Libota nini kati na biso ekokende liboso mpo na kobundisa bato ya Kanana?
2 And Jehovah said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.
Yawe azongisaki: — Libota ya Yuda nde ekokende liboso, pamba te napesi mokili oyo na maboko na bango.
3 And Judah said to Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my lot, and let us fight against the Canaanites, and I likewise will go with thee into thy lot; and Simeon went with him.
Bongo bato ya libota ya Yuda balobaki na bandeko na bango ya libota ya Simeoni: — Boya elongo na biso mpo ete tobundisa bato ya Kanana, mpo na eteni ya mabele oyo epesamelaki biso. Bongo, biso mpe tokokende elongo na bino, na eteni ya mabele na bino. Boye, bato ya libota ya Simeoni bakendeki elongo na bango.
4 And Judah went up; and Jehovah delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand, and they smote them in Bezek, ten thousand men.
Tango libota ya Yuda ekotaki na bitumba, Yawe akabaki bato ya Kanana mpe ya Perizi na maboko na bango, mpe babomaki bato nkoto zomi, na Bezeki.
5 And they found Adoni-Bezek in Bezek, and fought against him, and they smote the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
Ezalaki kuna nde bakutaki Adoni-Bezeki mpe babundisaki ye. Balongaki bato ya Kanana mpe ya Perizi.
6 And Adoni-Bezek fled, and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.
Adoni-Bezeki akimaki; kasi balandaki ye mpe bakangaki ye, bakataki ye misapi ya minene ya maboko mpe ya makolo.
7 And Adoni-Bezek said, Seventy kings, with their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gleaned under my table: as I have done, so God has requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died.
Adoni-Bezeki alobaki: « Bakonzi tuku sambo, oyo bakata bango misapi ya minene ya maboko mpe ya makolo, bazalaki kolokota biloko oyo ezalaki kokweya na se ya mesa na ngai. Sik’oyo, Nzambe azongiseli ngai makambo oyo nasalaki baninga. » Bamemaki ye na Yelusalemi, mpe akufaki kuna.
8 And the children of Judah fought against Jerusalem, and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.
Bato ya libota ya Yuda babundisaki Yelusalemi mpe babotolaki yango; babomaki bato ya engumba yango na mopanga mpe batiaki yango moto.
9 And afterwards the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites, that dwelt in the hill-country, and in the south, and in the lowland.
Sima na yango, bato ya libota ya Yuda bakendeki kobundisa bato ya Kanana oyo bazalaki kovanda na mokili ya bangomba, na Negevi, mpe na etando oyo ezalaki pembeni ya ebale.
10 And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron — the name of Hebron before was Kirjath-Arba; and they slew Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai.
Bato ya libota ya Yuda babundisaki lisusu bato ya Kanana oyo bazalaki kovanda na Ebron, oyo kombo na yango ezalaki na kala « Kiriati-Ariba. » Balongaki Sheshayi, Ayimani mpe Talimayi.
11 And from there he went against the inhabitants of Debir; now the name of Debir before was Kirjath-sepher.
Longwa wana, bapusanaki mpe bakendeki kobundisa bavandi ya Debiri oyo kombo na yango ezalaki na kala « Kiriati-Seferi. »
12 And Caleb said, He that smites Kirjath-sepher and takes it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter as wife.
Kalebi alobaki: « Nakopesa na libala Akisa, mwana na ngai ya mwasi, epai ya moto nyonso oyo akobundisa mpe akobotola Kiriati-Seferi. »
13 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it; and he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife.
Otinieli, mwana mobali ya Kenazi, ndeko ya Kalebi, abotolaki yango; boye Kalebi apesaki Akisa, mwana na ye ya mwasi, na libala epai ya Otinieli.
14 And it came to pass as she came, that she urged him to ask of her father the field; and she sprang down from the ass. And Caleb said to her, What wouldest thou?
Nzokande, tango Akisa akomaki na ndako ya Otinieli, atindikaki ye ete asenga elanga epai ya Kalebi, tata na ye. Boye, tango Akisa akitaki wuta na ane na ye, Kalebi atunaki ye: — Olingi nini?
15 And she said to him, Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a southern land; give me also springs of water. And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
Akisa azongisaki: — Salela ngai ngolu. Lokola opesaki ngai eteni ya mabele kati na Negevi, pesa ngai lisusu bitima. Boye, Kalebi apesaki ye bitima ya likolo mpe ya se.
16 And the children of the Kenite, Moses' father-in-law, had gone up out of the city of palm-trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which is in the south of Arad; and they went and dwelt with the people.
Bakitani ya Keni oyo azalaki bokilo ya Moyize balongwaki na engumba ya banzete ya Mbila elongo na bato ya libota ya Yuda, mpe bakendeki kovanda esika moko na bavandi ya esobe ya Yuda, oyo ezali na sude ya Aradi.
17 And Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they slew the Canaanites that inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it; and they called the name of the city Hormah.
Bato ya libota ya Yuda elongo na bandeko na bango ya libota ya Simeoni bakendeki kobundisa bato ya Kanana oyo bazalaki kovanda na Tsefati, mpe babebisaki bango. Yango wana, bapesaki engumba yango kombo « Orima. »
18 And Judah took Gazah and its border, and Ashkelon and its border, and Ekron and its border.
Bato ya libota ya Yuda babotolaki lisusu Gaza, Ashikeloni mpe Ekroni, elongo na mabele na yango ya pembeni.
19 And Jehovah was with Judah; and he took possession of the hill-country, for he did not dispossess the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.
Yawe azalaki elongo na bato ya libota ya Yuda. Babotolaki mokili ya bangomba, kasi balongaki te kobengana bavandi ya etando, pamba te bazalaki na bashar ya bibende.
20 And they gave to Caleb Hebron, as Moses had said; and he dispossessed from thence the three sons of Anak.
Kolanda ndenge Moyize alobaki, bapesaki na Kalebi engumba Ebron. Mpe Kalebi abenganaki na Ebron bana mibali misato ya Anaki.
21 And the children of Benjamin did not dispossess the Jebusites, the inhabitants of Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.
Nzokande, bato ya libota ya Benjame babenganaki te bato ya Yebusi oyo bazalaki kovanda na Yelusalemi. Boye, kino na mokolo ya lelo, bato ya Yebusi bavandaka esika moko na bato ya libota ya Benjame.
22 And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Bethel; and Jehovah was with them.
Bato kati na ndako ya Jozefi bamataki mpo na kobundisa Beteli, mpe Yawe azalaki elongo na bango.
23 And the house of Joseph sent to search out Bethel; now the name of the city before was Luz.
Tango libota ya Jozefi etindaki bato ete bakende kononga engumba Beteli oyo bazalaki kobenga na kala Luze,
24 And the guards saw a man come forth out of the city, and said unto him, Shew us, we pray thee, how [we] may enter into the city, and we will shew thee kindness.
banongi bamonaki moto moko kobima na engumba mpe balobaki na ye: « Lakisa biso esika nini tokoki kokotela na kati ya engumba, mpe tokosalela yo bolamu. »
25 And he shewed them how to enter into the city. And they smote the city with the edge of the sword; but they let go the man and all his family.
Boye, alakisaki bango esika ya kokotela na kati na engumba. Mpe babomaki bato ya engumba yango na mopanga, kasi babikisaki moto wana elongo na libota na ye mobimba.
26 And the man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a city, and called its name Luz, which is its name to this day.
Moto yango akendeki na mokili ya bato ya Iti mpe atongaki kuna engumba oyo apesaki kombo « Luze » oyo etikala kino lelo.
27 And Manasseh did not dispossess Beth-shean and its dependent villages, nor Taanach and its dependent villages, nor the inhabitants of Dor and its dependent villages, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and its dependent villages, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and its dependent villages; and the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
Kasi bato ya libota ya Manase babenganaki te bato ya Beti-Sheani mpe bamboka na yango ya mike, bato ya Taanaki mpe bamboka na yango ya mike, bato ya Dori mpe bamboka na yango ya mike, bato ya Yibileayimi mpe bamboka na yango ya mike, bato ya Megido mpe bamboka na yango ya mike; pamba te bato ya Kanana batingamaki kaka kovanda na mokili yango.
28 And it came to pass when Israel became strong, that they made the Canaanites tributary; but they did not utterly dispossess them.
Tango bana ya Isalaele bakomaki lisusu makasi, bakomaki kosalisa bato ya Kanana misala makasi, kasi babenganaki bango nyonso te.
29 And Ephraim did not dispossess the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt among them in Gezer.
Bato ya libota ya Efrayimi babenganaki te bato ya Kanana oyo bazalaki kovanda na Gezeri, mpe bato ya Kanana bakobaki kovanda esika moko na bango.
30 Zebulun did not dispossess the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became tributaries.
Bato ya libota ya Zabuloni babenganaki te bavandi ya Kitroni mpe ya Naaloli. Bato ya Kanana bakobaki kovanda esika moko na bango, kasi bakomaki kosalisa bango misala makasi.
31 Asher did not dispossess the inhabitants of Accho, nor the inhabitants of Zidon, nor Ahlab, nor Achzib, nor Helbah, nor Aphik, nor Rehob;
Bato ya libota ya Aseri babenganaki te bato ya Ako, ya Sidoni, ya Ayilabi, ya Akizibi, ya Eliba, ya Afiki mpe ya Reobi.
32 and the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; for they did not dispossess them.
Likolo na yango, bato ya libota ya Aseri bakomaki kovanda esika moko na bato ya Kanana oyo bazalaki kovanda na mokili yango.
33 Naphtali did not dispossess the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh, nor the inhabitants of Beth-anath; and he dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land, but the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and of Beth-anath became tributaries to them.
Bato ya libota ya Nefitali babenganaki te bato oyo bazalaki kovanda na Beti-Shemeshi mpe na Beti-Anati. Boye, bakomaki kovanda esika moko na bato ya Kanana oyo bazalaki kovanda na mokili yango; kasi bato ya Beti-Shemeshi mpe ya Beti-Anati bakomaki kosala misala makasi.
34 And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the hill-country, for they would not suffer them to come down to the valley.
Bato ya Amori batindikaki libota ya Dani mosika, na likolo ya bangomba, mpo ete balonga te kokita na etando ya polele.
35 And the Amorites would dwell on mount Heres, in Ajalon and in Shaalbim; but the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, and they became tributaries.
Boye, bato ya Amori mpe batingamaki kaka kovanda na Ari-Eresi, na Ayaloni mpe na Shaalibimi. Kasi tango ndako ya Jozefi ekomaki lisusu na nguya, bakomaki kosalisa bango misala makasi.
36 And the border of the Amorites was from the ascent of Akrabbim, from the rock, and upwards.
Mondelo ya mabele ya bato ya Amori ezalaki longwa na Libanga ya Sela, elekaki na bangomba ya Akarabimi kino na likolo.
