Judges 1
1 After Joshua died, the Israelites asked the Lord, “Which tribe from among us should go first and attack the Canaanites?”
Tukun misa lal Joshua, mwet Israel elos siyuk sin LEUM GOD, “Su inmasrlon sruf inge ac tufah fahsr meet in mweun lain mwet Canaan?”
2 “Judah is to go first,” the Lord replied. “I have handed the land over to them.”
Ac LEUM GOD El topuk, “Sruf lal Judah pa ac fahsr meet. Nga ac sang tuh in elos pa nununku acn we.”
3 The men of Judah said to their relatives of the tribe of Simeon, “Come with us to the land that has been allotted to us, and fight together with us against the Canaanites. Then we'll do the same for you and your allotted land.” So the tribe of Simeon joined with them.
Mwet in sruf lal Judah elos fahk nu sin mwet in sruf lal Simeon, “Fahsru wi kut som nu in acn se ituku nu sesr, kut tukeni mweuni mwet Canaan, na kut fah wi kowos pac nu ke acn se itukot nu suwos.” Na sruf lal Simeon
4 The men of Judah attacked the Canaanites and Perizzites, and the Lord handed them over in defeat. They killed ten thousand of the enemy at the town of Bezek.
ac sruf lal Judah elos tukeni som mweun. LEUM GOD El sang kutangla nu selos fin mwet Canaan ac mwet Periz, ac oayapa elos kutangla singoul tausin mwet in acn Bezek.
5 There they confronted Adoni-bezek and fought with him, defeating the Canaanites and Perizzites.
Elos konalak Adonibezek ingo ac mweunel.
6 Adoni-bezek ran away, but they chased after him and captured him, and then cut off his thumbs and big toes.
El kaingla, tusruktu elos ukwal nwe sruokilya ac pakela kuf lulap ke paol ac ke nial ah kewa.
7 Adoni-bezek said, “I had seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off picking up left-overs from under my table. Now God has paid me back in the same way what I did to them.” They took him to Jerusalem where he died.
Ac Adonibezek el fahk, “Tokosra itngoul su kufla kuf lulap ke paolos ac nialos, elos tuh eis kutkut in mongo ye tepu luk. Na pa inge God El furokma nu sik ma nga tuh oru nu selos.” Ac elos usalla nu Jerusalem ac el misa we.
8 The men of Judah attacked Jerusalem and conquered it. They killed the inhabitants with the sword and burned the town down.
Mwet in sruf lal Judah elos mweuni acn Jerusalem ac sruokya. Elos uniya mwet we, ac esukak siti sac.
9 After this the men of Judah went to fight against the Canaanites living in the hill country, in the Negev, and in the foothills of the lowlands.
Tukun ma inge elos som mweuni mwet Canaan su muta fineol uh ac pe eol uh ac acn mwesis nu eir.
10 They attacked the Canaanites who lived Hebron (previously known as Kiriath Arba) and defeated Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.
Elos fahsryak lain mwet Canaan su muta in siti se pangpang Hebron, su mwet meet ah pangon Kiriath Arba. Elos kutangla ota tolu inge: Sheshai, Ahiman, ac Talmai.
11 From there they went on to attack the people living in Debir (previously known as Kiriath Sepher).
Tukun ma inge, mwet in sruf lal Judah elos som ac mweuni siti Debir, su pangpang Kiriath Sepher in pacl sac.
12 Caleb announced, “I will give my daughter Acsah in marriage to whoever attacks and captures Kiriath Sepher.”
Sie sin mwet ingan, su pangpang Caleb, el fahk, “Nga ac elsalang Achsah, acn se nutik, tuh elan payuk nu sin mukul se ma ac sruokya siti Kiriath Sepher.”
13 Othniel, son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, was the one captured it, so he gave him his daughter Acsah in marriage.
Othniel, wen natul Kenaz su tamulel fusr wial Caleb, el kutangla acn Debir, na Caleb el eisalang Achsah tuh elan mutan kial.
14 When Acsah came to Othniel, she encouraged him to ask her father for a field. As she got off her donkey, Caleb asked her, “What do you want?”
In len in marut laltal ah, Othniel el kwafe sel Achsah elan siyuk sin papa tumal ah ke sie ipin acn. Na ke Achsah el fani liki donkey natul, Caleb el siyuk sel lah oasr ma el lungse.
15 “Please give me a blessing,” she replied. “You gave me land that's like the desert, so please give me springs of water as well.” So Caleb gave her the upper and lower springs.
Na Achsah el fahk, “Nga lungse kutu luf in kof. Acn ma kom ase luk meet ah acn na pao.” Na Caleb el sang lal unon in kof su oan lucng ac ten in acn Gulloth.
16 The descendants of Moses' father-in-law, the Kenite, went with the people of Judah from the city of palms to the wilderness of Judah in the Negev near Arad where they settled among the people.
Mwet Ken, su sou lun papa tumun mutan kial Moses, elos wi mwet Judah som liki acn Jericho, siti in sak palm, nu yen mwesis nu eir, su oan sisken acn Arad in Judah. Ingo elos oakwuki muta inmasrlon mwet Amalek.
17 Then Judah joined Simeon and defeated the Canaanites living in Zephath. They completely destroyed the town, so they named it Hormah.
Mwet Judah elos wi mwet Simeon som mweuni mwet Canaan su muta in siti Zephath. Elos selngawiya siti sac, ac kunausla, ac sang inen acn sac Hormah.
18 Judah also captured the towns of Gaza, Ashkelon, and Ekron, each with its surrounding territory.
Mwet Judah elos sruokya acn Gaza ac Ashkelon ac Ekron wi acn nukewa ma oan raunela acn inge.
19 The Lord was with Judah, and they took over the hill country, but they could not drive out the people living on the plain because they had iron chariots.
LEUM GOD El kasrelos mwet Judah, ac elos sruokya acn fineol uh, tusruktu elos koflana lusak mwet ma muta acn tupasrpasr, mweyen oasr chariot osra natulos.
20 As Moses had stipulated, Hebron was given to Caleb, who drove out from it the descendants of three sons of Anak.
In oana ma Moses el tuh sapkin ah, acn Hebron tuh itukyang lal Caleb su tuh lusak sou tolu natul Anak ah.
21 However, Benjamin could not drive out the Jebusites, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so the Jebusites live among the people of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this very day.
Tusruktu mwet in sruf lal Benjamin elos tuh tiana lusak mwet Jebus ma muta Jerusalem, oru mwet Jebus inge srakna muta inmasrlon sruf lal Benjamin nwe misenge.
22 The descendants of Joseph went and attacked the town of Bethel, and the Lord was with them.
Sruf lal Ephraim ac sruf lal Manasseh elos som ac lain acn Bethel, ac LEUM GOD El welulos.
23 They sent spies to investigate Bethel, which was previously known as Luz.
Elos supwala mwet kalngeyuk nu Bethel (inen siti sacn meet pa Luz).
24 The spies saw a man leaving the town and told him, “Please show us how to get into town, and we will treat you well.”
Ac ke mwet kalngeyuk inge liye sie mwet illa liki siti uh, elos fahk nu sel, “Fahkma nu sesr lah kut ac utyak fuka nu in siti uh, na kut ac kulang nu sum.”
25 The man showed them the way into the town, and they killed all the inhabitants except the man and his family, whom they let go.
Na mwet sac fahkang nu selos, na mwet Ephraim ac mwet Manasseh inge elos uniya mwet nukewa in siti sac sayen mwet se ma kasrelos ah ac sou lal ah.
26 The man moved to the country of the Hittites, and built a town there and called it Luz, which is its name to this day.
Tok mwet sac som nu in acn sin mwet Hit ac musaeak siti se we, ac pangon acn sac Luz. Srakna pangpang acn sac Luz nwe misenge.
27 However, Manasseh didn't drive out the people living in the towns of Beth Shan, Taanach, Dor, Ibleam, Megiddo and their surrounding villages because the Canaanites insisted on living in the land.
Sruf lal Manasseh tuh tiana lusak mwet ma muta in siti Beth Shan, Taanach, Dor, Ibleam, Megiddo, ac acn ma oan apkuran nu in acn inge. Oru mwet Canaan elos mutana in facl sac.
28 When the Israelites grew stronger, they made the Canaanites do forced labor, but they never completely drove them out.
Ke mwet Israel elos kui, na elos sang orekma na upa nu sin mwet Canaan inge, tusruktu elos tiana luselosla.
29 Ephraim didn't drive out the Canaanites living in the town of Gezer, so the Canaanites went on living there among them.
Sruf lal Ephraim elos tiana lusak mwet Canaan su muta in siti Gezer, oru mwet inge elos mutana inmasrlolos.
30 Zebulun didn't drive out the people living in the towns of Kitron and Nahalol, so the Canaanites went on living there among them. However, the Canaanites were made to do forced labor for the people of Zebulun.
Sruf lal Zebulun tuh tiana lusak mwet muta in siti Kitron ac Nahalal, oru mwet Canaan inge elos srak pacna mutana inmasrlolos, tusruktu akkohsyeyuk elos in orekma nu sin mwet Zebulun.
31 Asher didn't drive out the people living in the towns of Acco, Sidon, Ahlab, Achzib, Helbah, Aphik, and Rehob,
Sruf lal Asher tuh tiana lusla mwet muta in siti Acco, Sidon, Ahlab, Achzib, Helbah, Aphek, ac Rehob.
32 so the people of Asher went on living there among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land because they hadn't driven them out.
Mwet ke sruf lal Asher elos tuh wi na mwet Canaan inge muta, ke sripen elos tiana luselosla.
33 Naphtali didn't drive out the people living in the towns of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath. So the people of Asher went on living there among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land because they hadn't driven them out. However, the people of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath were made to do forced labor for the people of Naphtali.
Sruf lal Naphtali tiana lusla mwet ma muta in siti Beth Shemesh ac Bethanath. Mwet Naphtali inge wi na mwet Canaan inge muta, tusruktu elos akkohsyelos in orekma nu selos.
34 The Amorites pushed the people of Dan back into the hill country—they did not let them come down into the lowlands.
Mwet Amor elos lusak mwet in sruf lal Dan nu fineol uh, ac tia lela elos in tuku nu yen tupasrpasr uh.
35 The Amorites insisted on remaining in Mount Heres, Aijalon, and Shaalbim, but when the tribes of Joseph grew stronger, the Amorites were made to do forced labor.
Mwet Amor elos mutana in Aijalon, Shaalbim, ac Fineol Heres, tusruktu sruf lal Ephraim ac Manasseh elos leum faclos ac akkohsyelos in orekma nu selos.
36 The border with the Amorites ran from Scorpion Pass through Sela and on up from there.
Masrol ke acn Edom ac Ephraim mutawauk ke acn Sela fahsryak nu epang ac sasla ke Innek In Utyak Nu Akrabbim.
