< Judges 1 >

1 After the death of Josue the children of Israel consulted the Lord, saying: Who shall go up before us against the Chanaanite, and shall be the leader of the war?
Joshua thinung in, Israelten Pakai koma “Canaan mite satdinga koi phung kon masa ding ham?” tin ana dongun ahi.
2 And the Lord said: Juda shall go up: behold I have delivered the land into his hands.
Pakaiyin “Judah kon masa ding ahi, ajeh chu hiche gamhi amaho khut-a kana pehdohsa ahi,” ati.
3 And Juda said to Simeon his brother: Come up with me into my lot, and fight against the Chanaanite, that I also may go along with thee into thy lot. And Simeon went with him.
Hijeh chun Judah’in asopipa Simeon koma chun, “Keima eikipe gamsunga Canaan mite toh kisat ding kahi, neihung kithopin chujouteng nangma naki pehna gam ajong chun gal gasat khomna hite,” ati. Hiti chun Simeon’in Judah chu akithopin ahi.
4 And Juda went up, and the Lord delivered the Chanaanite, and the Pherezite into their hands: and they slew of them in Bezec ten thousand men.
Judah miten galmi hochu aga nokhum’un ahileh Pakaiyin Canaan mitele Periz mite chu agal ajosah in chule Bezek khopia chun galmi sangsom athat un ahi.
5 And they found Adonibezec in Bezec, and fought against him, and they defeated the Chanaanite, and the Pherezite.
Hiche Bezek muna chun Adoni-Bezek lengpa chu akisat piuvin galchu anajou un chule Canaan mite leh Periz mite jong ajou uvin ahi.
6 And Adonibezec fled: and they pursued after him and took him, and cut off his fingers and toes.
Adoni-Bezek ajamdoh in, ahinlah Israelten ahin man un akhutpi leh akengpi hochu atanboh peh un ahi.
7 And Adonibezec said: Seventy kings having their fingers and toes cut off, gathered up the leavings of the meat under my table: as I have done, so hath God requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
Adoni-Bezek’in, “Keiman phat khat in leng somsagi hochu akhutpiu leh akengpiu hochu kanatan peh in ka-an nehna dokhang noiya alhajah ho ananeovin, keiman amaho kanabol bangin tun Pathen’in keima eile thuhtai,” ati. Amachu Jerusalem'a ana puiyun hikoma chun ana thitan ahi.
8 And the children of Juda besieging Jerusalem, took it, and put it to the sword, and set the whole city on fire.
Judah ten Jerusalem ana sat’un anajou'un agamu ana laovin amipite ana that gam’un chule akhopiu chu meiyin anahal-lha tauvin ahi.
9 And afterwards they went down and fought against the Chanaanite, who dwelt in the mountains, and in the south, and in the plains.
Hiche jou chun achesuh uvin Negev leh lhumlam thinglhang gama cheng Canaan mite akisat piuvin ahi.
10 And Juda going forward against the Chanaanite, that dwelt in Hebron (the name whereof was in former times Cariath-Arbe) slew Sesai, and Ahiman, and Tholmai:
Hiche jou chun Judah ten Hebron’a cheng Canaan mite agakisat piuvin, (Hiche Hebron hi tuma sanga chu Kiriath-arba anakiti ahi) hichea chun, Shesai, Ahiman le Talmai galmi ho jong chu anajou-un ahi.
11 And departing from thence he went to the inhabitants of Dabir, the ancient name of which was Cariath-Sepher, that is, the city of letters.
Hichea kon chun amaho acheuvin Debir khopia chengho satdin akon tauve. Debir khopi jonghi masang chun amin Kiriath-sepher ana kitin ahi.
12 And Caleb said: He that shall take Cariath-Sepher, and lay it waste, to him will I give my daughter Axa to wife.
Caleb in koi hileh Kiriath-sepher gasat'a ahin lajou penpen chu kachanu Acsah hi aji dinga kapeh ding ahi, ati.
13 And Othoniel the son of Cenez, the younger brother of Caleb, having taken it, he gave him Axa his daughter to wife.
Caleb naopa Kenaz chapa Othniel’in aga jouvin, hijeh chun Acsah chu Othniel’in akichenpi tai.
14 And as she was going on her way her husband admonished her to ask a field of her father. And as she sighed sitting on her ass, Caleb said to her: What aileth thee?
Acsah in Othniel akichenpi jouchun, Othniel chun Acsah pa koma loumun khat thum ding in Acsah chun atil’in ahi. Hiti chun Acsah chu sangan chunga kona akum lhan, chuin Caleb’in “Ipi hitam?” tin ana dongin ahi.
15 But she answered: Give me a blessing, for thou hast given me a dry land: give me also a watery land. So Caleb gave her the upper and the nether watery ground.
Amanun jong “Thilkhat neipeh ben kati ahi, nang in Negev gam chu neipeh ahitah leh twinah phung khattoh neipeh than,” ati. Hichun Caleb in twinah achungnung leh anoinung jong apehben ahi.
16 And the children of the Cinite, the kinsman of Moses, went up from the city of palms, with the children of Juda into the wilderness of his lot, which is at the south side of Arad, and they dwelt with him.
Judah phung miten lusolei khopi tia kihe Jericho khopi chu adalhah phat’un, Mose nupapa chilhah Ken mite chun Judah gamthip gama chun akilhonpi kit tauvin ahi. Hiti chun amaho chutoh Negev gamsunga Arad khopi koma chun agamsung mipiho chutoh agacheng khom tauvin ahi.
17 And Juda went with Simeon his brother, and they together defeated the Chanaanites that dwelt in Sephaath, and slew them. And the name of the city was called Horma, that is, Anathema.
Hiche jouchun Judah chu Simeon toh apangkhom lhon in Zephath a cheng Canaan mite chu agasat lhon in, hiche khopi chu agasumang hel lhontan ahi. Hijeh chun hiche khopi chu Hormah anasah un ahi.
18 And Juda took Gaza with its confines, and Ascalon and Accaron with their confines.
Hiche ban ajong chun Judah in Gaza, Ashkelon chule Ekron khopi holeh avela gamho chutoh alatha tauvin ahi.
19 And the Lord was with Juda, and he possessed the hill country: but was not able to destroy the inhabitants of the valley, because they had many chariots armed with scythes.
Pakai chun, Judah mite chu ana umpin hiti chun amahon thinglhang gam pumpi chu ana lokhum tauvin, ahivangin amahon sakol thih kangtalai mangchaa phaichama cheng hochu ana deldoh joupouvin ahi.
20 And they gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had said, who destroyed out of it the three sons of Enac.
Mose’n ana thutep peh bangin Caleb chu Hebron ana peuvin ahi. Hiti chun Caleb in hiche muna cheng Anak chate chilhah thum hochu ana nodoh in ahi.
21 But the sons of Benjamin did not destroy the Jebusites that inhabited Jerusalem: and the Jebusite hath dwelt with the sons of Benjamin in Jerusalem until this present day.
Ahinlah Benjamin chaten vang Jerusalem’a chengho Jebus mite chu ana nodoh joupouvin, hijeh chun tuni geiyin Jerusalem khopia Jebus mitehi Benjamin mite toh achengkhom un ahi.
22 The house of Joseph also went up against Bethel, and the Lord was with them.
Joseph chilhah ten Bethel khopi anasat’un Pakaiyin ana umpiuvin ahi.
23 For when they were besieging the city, which before was called Luza,
Amahon khopi velhi dingin mi anasol'un (Tumasanga chu Luz ana kiti ahi).
24 They saw a man coming out of the city, and they said to him: Shew us the entrance into the city, and we will shew thee mercy.
Amahon khopia kona hung potdoh mikhat chu ana kihou piuvin, “Hiche khopi lutna ding lampi neihil'un, achutileh keihon khotona kamusah diu nahi” atiuve.
25 And when he had shewn them, they smote the city with the edge of the sword: but that man and all his kindred they let go:
Hiti chun aman alutna theidiu lampi chu ahil'in, amaho hiche lampi ah chun alut'un hiche khopi sunga umjouse chu abon'in athat un, hiche mipa chule ainsung mite sevang ahing hoijun ahi.
26 Who being sent away, went into the land of Hethim, and built there a city, and called it Luza: which is so called until this day.
Khonung in hiche mipa chu Hit mite gama aga chenglut’in, hichea chun khopi khat aphutdoh in, aman akhopi min chu Luz asah in tuni geiyin hiche minchu apuden tan ahi.
27 Manasses also did not destroy Bethsan, and Thanac with their villages, nor the inhabitants of Dor, and Jeblaam, and Mageddo with their villages. And the Chanaanite began to dwell with them.
Manasseh phungin Beth-shan, Taanach, Dor, Ibleam, Megiddo sunga cheng miho ahin, avel-uva chengho ahiuvin anodoh joupouvin ahi, ajeh chu hiche muna cheng Canaan mite chun hiche gamsunga chu chenden teiding anatup’u ahi.
28 But after Israel was grown strong he made them tributaries, and would not destroy them.
Israelte chu ahung hatdoh phat’un, hiche Canaan mite chu sohna anatoh sah un, hinlah gamsunga kon chun adelmang jou pouvin ahi.
29 Ephraim also did not slay the Chanaanite that dwelt in Gazer, but dwelt with him.
Ephraim phung jong chun Gezer gamsunga cheng Canaan mite chu ana deldoh joupouvin, hiti chun Canaan mite chu amaho lah a chun achengjom tauvin ahi.
30 Zabulon destroyed not the inhabitants of Cetron, and Naalol: but the Chanaanite dwelt among them, and became their tributaries.
Zebulun phung miten jong Kitron leh Nahalol gamsunga chengho ana nodoh joupouvin, hiti chun Canaan mite chu alah uva chun achengden tauvin chule Canaan mite chu Zebulun’ten sohna atohsah tauvin ahi.
31 Aser also destroyed not the inhabitants of Accho, and of Sidon, of Ahalab, and of Achazib, and of Helba, and of Aphec, and of Rohob:
Asher phung mite chun Acco, Sidon, Ahlab, Aczib, Helbah, Aphik chule Rehob gamsunga chengho anodoh joupouvin ahi.
32 And he dwelt in the midst of the Chanaanites the inhabitants of that land, and did not slay them.
Ahin Asher phung mite chun hiche gamsunga anachengte Canaan mite chu anodoh joulou jeh uvin, alah uvah chun agachen lut tho tauvin ahi.
33 Nephtali also destroyed not the inhabitants of Bethsames, and of Bethanath: and he dwelt in the midst of the Chanaanites the inhabitants of the land, and the Bethsamites and Bethanites were tributaries to him.
Hitobang machun Naphtali phung chun Beth-shemash leh Bath-anath gamsunga chengho ana nodoh joupouvin ahi. Hiti chun Canaan mite lah a chun ana chenlut tho-uvin ahi. Ahivangin, Beth-shamash leh Beth–anath mipite chu Naphtali mipite sohna anatoh sah un ahi.
34 And the Amorrhite straitened the children of Dan in the mountain, and gave them not place to go down to the plain:
Dan phung mite chu Amor miten thinglhang gama ale-nolut kit’un chule amaho chu phaicham ah ahung kumsuh tapouvin ahi.
35 And he dwelt in the mountain Hares, that is, of potsherds, in Aialon and Salebim. And the hand of the house of Joseph was heavy upon him, and he became tributary to him.
Amor mite chu Heres, Aijalon le Shaalbim mol lama chun chen den ding atup’un ahi. Hinlah Joseph insung chu ahung hatdoh phat’un Amor mite chu sohna atohsah tauvin ahi.
36 And the border of the Amorrhite was from the ascent of the scorpion, the rock, and the higher places.
Amor mite gamgi chu Akrabbim a kon in Sela ajon in hichea kon chun chunglanga ajon toupeh in ahi.
