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?
Joshua a due hnukkhu, Isarelnaw ni Kanaannaw tuk hanelah, apimaw maimouh hanlah hma ka hman han telah BAWIPA hah a pacei awh.
2 And Jehovah said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.
BAWIPA ni, Judah a cei han. A kut dawk ram teh ka poe toe, telah a ti.
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.
Judah ni a hmau Simeon koevah, Kanaannaw tuk thai nahanelah, ka ham e ram koe kai na pue haw, kai ni hai nang ni na ham e ram koe na pue van han, atipouh. Hahoi teh, Simeon ni ahni koe a kâbang pouh.
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.
Judah ni a kamthaw teh Kanaannaw hoi Periznaw hah BAWIPA ni a kut dawk a poe teh, Bezek vah tami 10, 000 touh a thei awh.
5 And they found Adoni-Bezek in Bezek, and fought against him, and they smote the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
Bezek kho vah Adonibezek siangpahrang a hmu awh teh, Kanaannaw hoi Periznaw a thei awh toteh,
6 And Adoni-Bezek fled, and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.
siangpahrang teh a yawng eiteh, Judahnaw ni a pâlei awh teh, bout a man awh. A kutpui, a khokpui soumsoum a tâtueng pouh awh.
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.
Adonibezek ni kutpui hoi khokpui a tâtueng pouh e siangpahrang 70 touh ni, kaie caboi rahim buramei a luep awh. Kai ni ouk ka sak e patetlah, BAWIPA ni kai dawk moi na pathung toe ati. Hote siangpahrangnaw teh, Jerusalem a ceikhai awh teh, hawvah a due.
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.
Hahoi Judahnaw ni Jerusalem teh tahloi hoi koung a thei awh hnukkhu, hmai a sawi awh.
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.
Hathnukkhu hoi teh, mon dawk kaawmnaw hai thoseh, akalae kaawmnaw hai thoseh, ayawn dawk kaawmnaw hai thoseh, Kanaannaw hai thoseh, a tuk awh.
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.
Hahoi minruem Kiriath-Arba a phung awh e Hebron kho kaawm e Kanaannaw aonae koe a cei awh teh, Sheshai Ahiman, Talmainaw a thei awh.
11 And from there he went against the inhabitants of Debir; now the name of Debir before was Kirjath-sepher.
Haw hoi teh, Debir kaawm e naw hah a cei sin awh. Debir teh ayan e min lahoi teh Kiriath-sepher doeh.
12 And Caleb said, He that smites Kirjath-sepher and takes it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter as wife.
Hahoi Kalep ni, Kiriath-sepher khopui ka tâ thai e tami teh kai ni ka canu Akasah a yu lah ka poe han telah a ti.
13 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it; and he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife.
Kalep e a nawngha Kenaz e capa Othniel ni a tâ teh a canu Akasah teh a yu lah a poe.
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?
Hote napui kahlawng a cei navah, A na pa koe lawhmuennaw hei hanlah a kâpan roi hnukkhu, marang dawk hoi a kum. A na pa ni bangmaw na ngai e kaawm telah a pacei navah,
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.
a canu ni yawhawi na poe hanelah ka ngai. Akalae ram na poe boum teh, tuidonaw hai hmawi na poe sin loe atipouh. A na pa ni atunglae tuido hoi akalae tuido puenghai a poe.
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.
Mosi masei e a na minca lah kaawm e Ken miphunnaw hateh, Judahnaw hoi ungkung kho thung kaawm e, Arad ram teng kaawm e, Judah ram dawk a kâbang van teh, kho cungtalah a sak awh.
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.
Hahoi teh, Judah ni a hmau Simeon hoi a cei roi teh, Zephath kho kaawm e Kanaannaw a thei roi teh, khopui hai he a raphoe roi. Hatdawkvah, Hormah telah a phung awh.
18 And Judah took Gazah and its border, and Ashkelon and its border, and Ekron and its border.
Hahoi Judah ni Gaza hoi ateng e khonaw, Askelon hoi ateng e khonaw, Ekron hoi ateng e khonaw hai koung a la pouh.
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.
BAWIPA teh Judah hoi cungtalah ao dawkvah, ahni ni mon dawk e naw pueng he a pâlei. Hateiteh, ayawn dawk kho ka sak e naw teh, sumrangleng a tawn awh dawkvah, pâlei thai awh hoeh.
20 And they gave to Caleb Hebron, as Moses had said; and he dispossessed from thence the three sons of Anak.
Hahoi Mosi ni a dei e patetlah Hebron teh Kalep a poe awh. Anakim e capa kathum touh teh, hote kho hoi a pâlei awh.
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.
Hatei Benjamin miphunnaw niteh, Jerusalem kaawm e Jebusitnaw hah pâlei awh hoeh dawkvah, atu totouh, Jebusitnaw hah Benjaminnaw hoi Jerusalem vah reirei ao awh.
22 And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Bethel; and Jehovah was with them.
Joseph miphunnaw nihai, Bethel a tuk awh navah, BAWIPA teh ahnimouh koe ao.
23 And the house of Joseph sent to search out Bethel; now the name of the city before was Luz.
Joseph miphun niteh, Bethel tuet hanlah, a patoun awh. Hote kho min teh ayan teh Luz tie doeh.
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.
Katuetnaw ni kho thung hoi ka tâcawt e tami buet touh a hmu awh teh, kho thung kâennae lam na patue haw. Hat pawiteh, na hlout han atipouh.
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.
Hote tami ni kho thung kâennae lam a patue teh, ahnimouh ni khocanaw hah tahloi hoi he a tâtueng awh. Hatei, hote tami hoi imthungkhunaw teh a hlout sak awh.
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.
Hote a hlout sak awh e imthung teh, Hit ram lah a cei awh teh hawvah kho a sak awh. Ahnimae kho min teh Luz telah a phung awh. Sahnin totouh a min lah pou ao.
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.
Manasseh miphun niteh, Bethshean khonaw, Tanak khonaw, Dor khonaw, Ibleam khonaw, Megiddo khonaw hah pâlei laipalah, Kanaannaw hoi Hote ram dawk cungtalah rei pou ao awh.
28 And it came to pass when Israel became strong, that they made the Canaanites tributary; but they did not utterly dispossess them.
Isarelnaw a tha ao toteh, Kanaannaw teh pâlei hoeh eiteh, a kut rahim thaw a tawk sak awh.
29 And Ephraim did not dispossess the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt among them in Gezer.

30 Zebulun did not dispossess the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became tributaries.

31 Asher did not dispossess the inhabitants of Accho, nor the inhabitants of Zidon, nor Ahlab, nor Achzib, nor Helbah, nor Aphik, nor Rehob;
Hot patetvanlah, Asher miphun ni hai Akko kho kaawmnaw, Sidon kho kaawmnaw, Ahlab kho kaawmnaw, Akhzib kho kaawmnaw, Helbah kho kaawmnaw, Aphik kho kaawmnaw, Rehob kho kaawmnaw a pâlei awh hoeh dawkvah,
32 and the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; for they did not dispossess them.
Asher miphunnaw teh, Kanaannaw koe kho a sak awh.
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.
Naphtali miphun ni Bethshemesh kho kaawmnaw, Bethanath kaawmnaw pâlei awh hoeh. Kanaannaw hoi mak kâkalawt lah kho a sak awh. Bethshemesh hoi Bethanathnaw teh, a kut rahim thaw a tawk sak awh.
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.
Amornaw nihai, Dannaw teh mon lah a pâlei awh teh, ayawn dawk teh awm sak awh hoeh.
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.
Amornaw teh, Heres, Aijalon hoi Shaalbim vah pou ao awh. Hahoi teh, Joseph miphunnaw a tha ao awh teh, Amornaw a kut rahim thaw a tawk sak awh.
36 And the border of the Amorites was from the ascent of Akrabbim, from the rock, and upwards.
Amornaw e khori teh, Akrabbim lah ka takhang niteh, Sela e a lathueng lah pou a cei.
