< Judges 1 >

1 AND IT came to pass after the death of Joshua, that the children of Israel asked the LORD, saying: 'Who shall go up for us first against the Canaanites, to fight against them?'
Ie fa nivilasy t’Iehosoa, le nihalaly am’ Iehovà o ana’ Isra­eleo ami’ty hoe: Ia ty hionjoñe valoha’e mb’amo nte-Khanàneo ho anay, hialy?
2 And LORD said: 'Judah shall go up; behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.'
Le hoe t’Iehovà, Iehodà ty hionjomb’eo fa natoloko am-pità’e i taney.
3 And Judah said unto Simeon his brother: 'Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with thee into thy lot.' So Simeon went with him.
Le hoe t’Iehoda amy Simone rahalahi’e, Mindreza amako mb’amy anjarakoy hialy amo nte-Khanàneo; le hindre ama’o ka iraho mb’amy anjara’oy. Aa le nindre lia ama’e t’i Simone.
4 And Judah went up; and the LORD delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand; and they smote of them in Bezek ten thousand men.
Nionjom-beo t’Iehoda; naho nasese’ Iehovà am-pità’ iareo o nte-Khanàneo naho o nte-Perizeo, vaho binaibai’ iereo e Bezeke ty lahilahy rai-ale.
5 And they found Adoni-bezek in Bezek; and they fought against him, and they smote the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
Nizoe’ iareo e Bezek’ ao t’i Adonibezeke, le nialy ama’e, vaho zinama’ iareo t’i nte-Khanàne naho t’i nte-Perize.
6 But Adoni-bezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.
Fe nipoliotse añe t’i Adonibezeke, le hinorida’ iareo naho tsinepa’iareo vaho fonga kinitsi’ iareo ty tondro-beim-pità’e naho tondrobeim-pandia’e.
7 And Adoni-bezek said: 'Threescore and ten kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered food under my table; as I have done, so God hath requited me.' And they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
Le hoe t’i Adonibezeke, Nitsindrok’ ambanen-datàbako ao ty mpanjaka fitompolo kinitsin-tondrobeim-pitàñe naho tondrobeim-pandia, aa le nafoten’ Añahare amako i nanoekoy. Aa le napo’ iareo e Ierosa­laime ao re, vaho ao ty nihomaha’e.
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.
Toe fa nialy am’ Ierosalaime o ana’ Iehodao, le fa tinava’ iareo naho linafa’ iareo an-dela-pibara, vaho namiañe afo amy rovay.
9 And afterward 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.
Ie amy zay, nizotso hialy amo nte-Khanàne mpimoneñe am-bohibohitse ao naho Atimo ao vaho an-tane petrak’ ao o ana’ Iehodao.
10 And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron — now the name of Hebron beforetime was Kiriath-arba — and they smote Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.
Naname o nte-Khanàne nimoneñe e Kebroneo t’Iehoda (toe natao Kiriate’arba ty Kebrone taolo), le vinono’ iareo t’i Sesay, naho i Akimane vaho i Talmaý.
11 And from thence he went against the inhabitants of Debir — now the name of Debir beforetime was Kiriath-sepher.
Boak’ao re nañoridañe o mpimone’ i Debireo (toe natao Kiriate-sefere ty Debire taolo).
12 And Caleb said: 'He that smiteth Kiriath-sepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.'
Le hoe t’i Kalebe, Ze mandafa i Kiriate-sefere vaho mandrambe aze, ty hitolorako i Aksae anak’ ampelako ho vali’e.
13 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it; and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.
I Otniele, ana’i Kenaze zai’ i Kalebe ty nandrambe aze; vaho natolo’e ama’e t’i Aksae anak’ampela’e ho tañanjomba’e.
14 And it came to pass, when she came unto him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field; and she alighted from off her ass; and Caleb said unto her: 'What wouldest thou?'
Ie amy zao, naho nimb’ama’e, le nosihe’e hihalaly tane aman-drae’e hambolea’e. Aa ie nizotso amy borìke’ey, le hoe ty asa’ i Kalebe ama’e, Ino o paia’oo?
15 And she said unto him: 'Give me a blessing; for that thou hast set me in the Southland, give me therefore springs of water.' And Caleb gave her the Upper Springs and the Nether Springs.
Le hoe re tama’e: Fitsezo rano iraho fa tane maike ty natolo’o ahy; ehe toloro rano manganahana ka. Aa le natolo’ i Kalebe aze o manganahana amboneo naho o manganahana ambaneo.
16 And the children of the Kenite, Moses' father-in-law, went 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.
Nionjoñe boak’ an-drovan-tsatrañe ao o ana’ i Keny, rafoza’ i Mosèo, mindre amo ana’ Iehodao, mb’ am-patram-bei’ Iehoda mb’eo, atimo’ i Arade ey vaho nindre nimoneñe am’ ondatio.
17 And Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they smote the Canaanites that inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. And the name of the city was called Hormah.
Le nindre aman-joke’e Simone t’Iehoda, le linafa’ iareo o nte-Khanàne nimoneñe e Tsefate ao le vata’e narotsa’e. Natao Kormà ty añara’ i rovay.
18 Also Judah took Gaza with the border thereof, and Ashkelon with the border thereof, and Ekron with the border thereof.
Rinambe’ Iehoda ka t’i Azà rekets’ i tane’ey naho i Aske­lone rekets’ i tane’ey, vaho i Ekrone rekets’ i tane’ey.
19 And the LORD was with Judah; and he drove out the inhabitants of the hill-country; for he could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.
Nindre am’ Iehoda t’Iehovà, nandroake o am-bohibohitseo, fe tsy nahafaniotse o an-tane petrakeo ty amo saretem-bi’ iareoo.
20 And they gave Hebron unto Caleb, as Moses had spoken; and he drove out thence the three sons of Anak.
Le natolo’e amy Kalebe ty Kebrone ty amy saontsi’ i Mosèy; vaho rinoa’e boak’ao i ana-dahi’ i Anake telo rey.
21 And the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites that inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwelt with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem, unto this day.
Tsy nahafandroake o nte-Iebosý nimoneñe e Ierosalaimeo t’i Beniamine; le mitrao-pimoneñe amo ana’ i Beniamineo pake henane o nte Iebosìo.
22 And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Beth-el; and the LORD was with them.
Aa naho i anjomba’ Iosefey, naname i Betele ka iereo vaho nolora’ Iehovà.
23 And the house of Joseph sent to spy out Beth-el — now the name of the city beforetime was Luz.
Nirahe’ i anjomba’ Iosefey ty hisarisary i Betele, i nitokaveñe ty hoe Loze taoloy.
24 And the watchers saw a man come forth out of the city, and they said unto him: 'Show us, we pray thee, the entrance into the city, and we will deal kindly with thee.'
Nahaoniñe ondaty niakatse i rovay i mpisary rey, le hoe iereo tama’e, Atorò anay ty lalam-pimoahañe amo rovao, le hitretreza’ay.
25 And he showed them the entrance into the city, and they smote the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man go and all his family.
Aa ie natoro’e ty fizilihañe amy rovay, le linafa’ iareo am-pibara i rovay, fe napo’ iareo hañavelo mb’eo indatiy reketse ty hasavereña’e iaby.
26 And the man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a city, and called the name thereof Luz, which is the name thereof unto this day.
Nomb’ an-tane’ o nte Kiteo indatiy le namboatse rova vaho natao’e Loze ty añara’e, le mbe ie henaneo.
27 And Manasseh did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shean and its towns, nor of Taanach and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns; but the Canaanites were resolved to dwell in that land.
Fe tsy nahafaniotse o mpimone i Betseane naho o tanà’eo ndra i Tànake naho o tanà’eo, ndra o mpimone’ i Dore naho o tanà’eo, ndra o mpimone’ Ibleame naho o tanà’eo, ndra i Megido naho o tanà’eo t’i Menasè; amy te nifahatse amy taney o nte-Khanàne nimoneñ’ aoo.
28 And it came to pass, when Israel was waxen strong, that they put the Canaanites to task-work, but did in no wise drive them out.
Ie añe naho naozatse t’Israele le nampandoa’e haba o nte-Khanàneo fa tsy fonga niroaheñe.
29 And Ephraim drove not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.
Tsy nahafaniotse o nte-Khanàne nimoneñe e Gezereo ka t’i Efraime, fe nitrao-pimoneñe am’ iereo e Gezere ao o nte-Khanàneo.
30 Zebulun drove not out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became tributary.
Tsy niroahe’ i Zebolone ka o mpimone’ i Kitroneo, ndra o mpi­mone’ i Nahaloleo, le nitrao-pimoneñe am’ iereo o nte-Khanàneo vaho nampandoàñe haba.
31 Asher drove not out the inhabitants of Acco, nor the inhabitants of Zidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob;
Tsy niroahe’ i Asere ka o mpimone’ i Akòo ndra o mpimone’ i Tsidoneo, ndra o Aklabeo, ndra i Kel­bà, ndra i Afike, ndra i Re­kobe;
32 but the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; for they did not drive them out.
te mone nitrao-pimoneñe amo nte-Khanàne mpimoneñe amy taneio t’i Asere; fa tsy nilefe’e ty naniotse iareo.
33 Naphtali drove not out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh, nor the inhabitants of Beth-anath; but he dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and of Beth-anath became tributary unto them.
Tsy niroahe’ i Naftalý ka o mpimone’ i Bete’semeseo, ndra o mpimone’ i Bet’anateo; te mone nitrao-pimoneñe amo nte-Khanàne mpimoneñe amy taneio; aa le nampandoa’e haba o mpi­mone’ i Bete-semese naho Bet’anateo.
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.
Nazi’ o nte-Amoreo mb’ am-bohibohitse ao o ana’ i Daneo, le tsy nenga’ iareo hizotso mb’am-bava­tane mb’eo.
35 But the Amorites were resolved to dwell in Harheres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim; yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, so that they became tributary.
Nimanea’ o nte-Amoreo ty himoneñe am-bohi-Karese e Ai’ialone naho e Saal­bime ao; fe nahagioke ty fità’ Iosefe vaho nanoe’e mpandoa haba.
36 And the border of the Amorites was from the ascent of Akrabbim, from Sela, and upward.
Nifototse amy fitroara’ i Akrabimey ty efe-tane’ o nte-Amoreo, boak’ amy vatoy mañambone.
