Judges 1
1 After Joshua died, the Israelites asked the Lord, “Which tribe from among us should go first and attack the Canaanites?”
A, i muri iho i te matenga o Hohua, na ka ui nga tamariki a Iharaira ki a Ihowa, ka mea, Ko wai e matua haere mo matou ki runga ki nga Kanaani ki te whawhai ki a ratou?
2 “Judah is to go first,” the Lord replied. “I have handed the land over to them.”
Na ka mea a Ihowa, Ko Hura e haere: nana, kua hoatu e ahau te whenua ki tona ringa.
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.
Na ka mea a Hura ki a Himiona ki tona tuakana, Hoake taua ki toku wahi, kia whawhai ai taua ki nga Kanaani; a ka haere ai hoki ahau i a koe ki tou wahi. Na haere ana raua ko Himiona.
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.
A, ko te haerenga atu o Hura, ka homai e Ihowa nga Kanaani me nga Perihi ki o ratou ringa, a patua iho o ratou ki Peheke kotahi tekau mano tangata.
5 There they confronted Adoni-bezek and fought with him, defeating the Canaanites and Perizzites.
I rokohanga ano a Aronipeheke ki Peheke, a whawhai ana ki a ia, a patua iho nga Kanaani me nga Perihi.
6 Adoni-bezek ran away, but they chased after him and captured him, and then cut off his thumbs and big toes.
Na ka rere a Aronipeheke, a whaia ana e ratou, a ka mau, na tapahia ana nga koromatua o ona ringa, o ona waewae.
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.
Na ka mea a Aronipeheke, E whitu tekau nga kingi, he mea tapahi nga koromatua o o ratou ringa, o o ratou waewae, i kohi kai i raro i taku tepu: ko taku i mea ai, kua whakahokia mai e te Atua ki ahau. Na ka kawea ia ki Hiruharama, a mate iho ki re ira.
8 The men of Judah attacked Jerusalem and conquered it. They killed the inhabitants with the sword and burned the town down.
I tauria hoki a Hiruharama e nga tamariki a Hura, a horo ana i a ratou, patua iho e ratou ki te mata o te hoari, tahuna ake hoki e ratou te pa ki te ahi.
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.
A muri iho ka haere ki raro nga tamariki a Hura ki te whawhai ki nga Kanaani i noho i te whenua pukepuke i te tonga, i te mania.
10 They attacked the Canaanites who lived Hebron (previously known as Kiriath Arba) and defeated Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.
Na haere ana a Hura, whawhai ana ki nga Kanaani i noho ki Heperona: na, ko te ingoa o Heperona i mua ko Kiriata Arapa: patua iho e ratou a Hehai, a Ahimana, ratou ko Taramai.
11 From there they went on to attack the people living in Debir (previously known as Kiriath Sepher).
Na ka haere atu ia i reira, ka whawhai kinga tangata o Repiri; a, ko te ingoa o Repiri i mua ko Kiriata Hepere:
12 Caleb announced, “I will give my daughter Acsah in marriage to whoever attacks and captures Kiriath Sepher.”
Na ka mea a Karepe, Ko te tangata e patua ai a Kiriata Hepere, a e horo ai, ka hoatu e ahau taku tamahine, a Akaha hei wahine mana.
13 Othniel, son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, was the one captured it, so he gave him his daughter Acsah in marriage.
Na ka horo i a Otoniere tama a Kenaha teina o Karepe, a hoatu ana e ia tana tamahine, a Akaha hei wahine mana.
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?”
A, no taenga atu o taua wahine ki a ia, ka whakakiki i a ia kia tonoa he mara i tona papa; a ka marere iho ia ki raro i tona kaihe; na ka mea a Karepe ki a ia, He aha tau?
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 ka mea ia ki a ia, Homai he manaakitanga moku, kei te tonga hoki te whenua i homai e koe moku; homai ano hoki etahi puna wai moku. Na hoatu ana e Karepe ki a ia nga puna o runga me nga puna o raro.
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.
Na ka haere nga tamariki a te Keni, a te hungawai o Mohi, i te pa nikau, ratou ko nga tamariki a Hura, ki te koraha o Hura, ki te tonga o Arara, a haere ana, noho ana i roto i te iwi.
17 Then Judah joined Simeon and defeated the Canaanites living in Zephath. They completely destroyed the town, so they named it Hormah.
Na ka haere a Hura raua ko tona tuakana ko Himiona, a patua iho e ratou nga Kanaani i noho i Hepata, whakangaromia iho; na reira i huaina ai te ingoa o taua pa, ko Horema.
18 Judah also captured the towns of Gaza, Ashkelon, and Ekron, each with its surrounding territory.
A i riro ano i a Hura a Kaha me tona rohe, a Ahakerono me tona rohe, a Ekerono me tona rohe.
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.
A i a Hura a Ihowa, a peia atu ana e ia nga tangata o te whenua pukepuke; otiia kihai i taea e ia te pei nga tangata o te mania; no te mea he hariata rino a ratou.
20 As Moses had stipulated, Hebron was given to Caleb, who drove out from it the descendants of three sons of Anak.
I hoatu ano e ratou a Heperona ki a Karepe, i pera me ta Mohi i korero ai: a peia atu ana e ia i reira nga tama tokotoru a Anaka.
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.
Ko nga Iepuhi ia i noho ki Hiruharama, kihai i peia atu e nga tamariki a Pineamine, na noho ana te Iepuhi i roto i nga tamariki a Pineamine ki Hiruharama a taea noatia tenei ra.
22 The descendants of Joseph went and attacked the town of Bethel, and the Lord was with them.
Me te whare ano o Hohepa, i haere atu ki te whawhai ki Peteere, a i a ratou a Ihowa.
23 They sent spies to investigate Bethel, which was previously known as Luz.
A i tuteia a Peteere e te whare o Hohepa. Na, ko te ingoa o taua pa i mua ko Rutu.
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.”
Na ka kitea e nga kaiwhanga tetahi tangata e puta mai ana i te pa, a ka mea ki a ia, Tena, whakaaturia ki a matou te tomokanga atu ki te pa, a ka puta ta matou koha ki a koe.
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.
Katahi ka whakaaturia e ia ki a ratou te tomokanga atu ki te pa, a patua iho e ratou te pa ki te mata o te hoari; ko taua tangata ia ratou ko tona hapu katoa i tukua atu e ratou.
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.
Na haere ana taua tangata ki te whenua o nga Hiti, a hanga ana tetahi pa e ia, huaina iho te ingoa ko Rutu: ko tona ingoa ano tena a taea noatia tenei ra.
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.
Otiia kihai i peia e Manahi nga tangata o Peteheana me ona pa ririki, o Taanaka me ona pa ririki, nga tangata ano hoki o Roro, o ona pa ririki, nga tangata o Ipireama, o ona pa ririki, nga tangata o Mekiro, o ona pa ririki: heoi ka mea nga Kanaa ni kia noho ki taua whenua.
28 When the Israelites grew stronger, they made the Canaanites do forced labor, but they never completely drove them out.
A, no ka kaha haere a Iharaira, ka meinga e ratou nga Kanaani hei kaihomai takoha, kihai hoki ratou i peia rawatia atu.
29 Ephraim didn't drive out the Canaanites living in the town of Gezer, so the Canaanites went on living there among them.
Kihai ano hoki a Eparaima i pei atu i nga Kanaani i noho ki Ketere: heoi noho ana nga Kanaani ki Ketere i waenganui i a ratou.
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.
Kihai a Hepurona i pei atu i nga tangata o Kitirono; i nga tangata ano hoki o Naharoro: heoi ka noho nga Kanaani i waenganui i a ratou, a meinga ana hei kaihomai takoha.
31 Asher didn't drive out the people living in the towns of Acco, Sidon, Ahlab, Achzib, Helbah, Aphik, and Rehob,
Kihai a Ahera i pei atu i nga tangata o Ako, i nga tangata ranei o Hairona, o Aharapa, o Akatipi, o Herepa, o Apiki, o Rehopo;
32 so the people of Asher went on living there among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land because they hadn't driven them out.
Na ka noho nga Aheri ki waenganui o nga Kanaani, o nga tangata whenua; no te mea kihai ratou i pei atu i a ratou.
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.
Kihai a Napatari i pei atu i nga tangata o Petehemehe, i nga tangata hoki o Peteanata; heoi noho ana ia i waenganui o nga Kanaani, o nga tangata whenua: otiia i meinga nga tangata o Petehemehe, o Peteanata, hei kaihomai takoha ki a ratou.
34 The Amorites pushed the people of Dan back into the hill country—they did not let them come down into the lowlands.
Na i akina atu e nga Amori nga tamariki a Rana ki te whenua pukepuke: kihai hoki ratou i tukua kia heke ki te mania.
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.
Heoi ka mea nga Amori kia noho ki Maunga Herehe, ki Aitarono, ki Haarapimi: otiia i kaha ano te ringa o te whare o Hohepa, a ka meinga ratou hei kaihomai takoha.
36 The border with the Amorites ran from Scorpion Pass through Sela and on up from there.
Na ko te rohe ki nga Amori kei te pinakitanga ki Akarapimi; kei te kamaka a ahu whakarunga.
