Judges 1
1 And it comes to pass after the death of Joshua, that the sons of Israel ask of YHWH, saying, “Who goes up for us to the Canaanite, at the commencement, to fight against it?”
Joshuaa dueknah hnukah Israel ca rhoek loh BOEIPA te a dawt uh tih, “Ulae kaimih ham Kanaan taengla aka cet vetih a moecuek kah bangla anih tea vathoh thil lah ve,” a ti uh.
2 And YHWH says, “Judah goes up; behold, I have given the land into his hand.”
Te dongah BOEIPA loh, “Judah te cet saeh lamtah khohmuen he a kut ah ka paek tangtae coeng ni ke,” a ti nah.
3 And Judah says to his brother Simeon, “Go up with me into my lot, and we fight against the Canaanite—and I have gone, even I, with you into your lot”; and Simeon goes with him.
Te vaengah a manuca Simeon te, “Kai hmulung khuila kamah taengla ha luei lamtah Kanaan ke vathoh thil sih. Kai khaw nang hmulung kah khuikah nang taengah ka pongpa van eh,” a ti nah tih Simeon khaw anih taengla cet.
4 And Judah goes up, and YHWH gives the Canaanite and the Perizzite into their hand, and they strike them in Bezek—ten thousand men;
Judaha luei vaengah BOEIPA loh amih kut ah Kanaan neh Perizzi tea tloeng pah tih Bezek ah hlang thawng rhaa tloek uh.
5 and they find Adoni-Bezek in Bezek, and fight against him, and strike the Canaanite and the Perizzite.
Bezek ah Adonibezek tea hmuh uh tih anih tea tloek uh phoeiah Kanaan neh Perizzi tea tloek uh.
6 And Adoni-Bezek flees, and they pursue after him, and seize him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes,
Adonibezek te rhaelrham van dae a hnukaha hloem uh tiha kae uh vaengah a kut a kho kah kutnu khonu te a tlueh pauh.
7 and Adoni-Bezek says, “Seventy kings—their thumbs and their great toes cut off—have been gathering under my table; as I have done so God has repaid to me”; and they bring him to Jerusalem, and he dies there.
Te vaengah Adonibezek loh, “Manghai sawmrhih kut kho kah kutnu khonu ka tlueh pah tih ka caboei hmuikah cakdik aka rhut la om uh. Ka saii bangla Pathen loh kai taengah han thuung coeng,” a ti. Anih te Jerusalem la a khuen uh tih te ah te duek.
8 And the sons of Judah fight against Jerusalem, and capture it, and strike it by the mouth of the sword, and they have sent the city into fire;
Judah ca rhoek loh Jerusalem te a vathoh thil uh tiha buem uh. cunghang ha neh a ngawn phoeiah khopuei te hmai aha pup uh.
9 and afterward the sons of Judah have gone down to fight against the Canaanite inhabiting the hill-country, and the south, and the low country;
Te phoeiah tlang neh tuithim kolrhawk kah aka om Kanaan te tloek ham Judah ca rhoek loh suntla uh.
10 and Judah goes to the Canaanite who is dwelling in Hebron (and the name of Hebron [was] formerly Kirjath-Arba), and they strike Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.
Te phoeiah Hebron ah aka om Kanaan te khaw Judah loh a paan bal. Hebron kah a ming rhuem tah Kiriatharba ni. Te vaengah Sheshai, Ahiman neh Talmai te khaw a tloek uh.
11 And he goes there to the inhabitants of Debir (and the name of Debir [was] formerly Kirjath-Sepher),
Te lamloh Debir kah khosa rhoek te a paan uh cetuh. Derbir kah a ming rhuem tah Kiriathsepher ni.
12 and Caleb says, “He who strikes Kirjath-Sepher and has captured it—then I have given my daughter Achsah to him for a wife.”
Te vaengah Kaleb loh, “Kiriathsepher aka tloek tih aka buem te tah ka canu Akcah te a yuu la ka paek ni,” a ti.
13 And Othniel son of Kenaz, younger brother of Caleb, captures it, and he gives his daughter Achsah to him for a wife.
Te dongah Kaleb mana Kenaz capa Othniel loh a buem tih a canu Akcah te a yuu la a paek.
14 And it comes to pass in her coming in, that she persuades him to ask from her father the field, and she comes down off the donkey, and Caleb says to her, “What do you [want]?”
A yuu te ha pawk vaengah a napa taengkah khohmuen bih ham a va te a vueh. laak dong lamkah a bit uh vanneh anih te Kaleb loh, “Nang ham balae kan saii eh,” a ti nah.
15 And she says to him, “Give a blessing to me; when you have given me the south land—then you have given springs of water to me”; and Caleb gives the upper springs and the lower springs to her.
Te dongah a canu loh, “Kai ham khaw yoethennah nan suem vanbangla tuithim khohmuen ke kai m'pae mai lamtah tuidueh tui khaw kai ham nam paek mai mako,” a ti nah. Te dongah anih te Kaleb loh a siip tuidueh neh a hnawt tuidueh te a paek.
16 And the sons of the Kenite, father-in-law of Moses, have gone up out of the city of palms with the sons of Judah [to] the wilderness of Judah, which [is] in the south of Arad, and they go and dwell with the people.
Rhophoe khopuei lamkah Moses masae Keni ca rhoek neh Arad tuithim Judah khosoek Judah ca rhoek tah luei uh tih pilnam taengah kho a sak uh.
17 And Judah goes with his brother Simeon, and they strike the Canaanite inhabiting Zephath, and devote it; and [one] calls the name of the city Hormah.
Te phoeiah Judah te a mana Simeon neh cet rhoi tih Zephath khosa rhoek Kanaan tea tloek rhoi. Khopuei tea thup tih khopuei ming khaw Hormah la a sak pah.
18 And Judah captures Gaza and its border, and Askelon and its border, and Ekron and its border;
Te vaengah Judah loh Gaza neh a khorhi, Ashkelon neh a khorhi, Ekron neh a khorhi tea loh.
19 and YHWH is with Judah, and he occupies the hill-country, but not to dispossess the inhabitants of the valley, for they have chariots of iron.
Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Judaha om puei tih tlang khaw a huul coeng dae kol kah khosa rhoek tah thi leng a khueh dongah haek thai pawh.
20 And they give Hebron to Caleb, as Moses has spoken, and he dispossesses the three sons of Anak there.
Moses kah a thui bangla Hebron te Kaleb taengaha paek uh hatah te lamkah Anak ca rhoek pathum te vik a vai.
21 And the sons of Benjamin have not dispossessed the Jebusite inhabiting Jerusalem; and the Jebusite dwells with the sons of Benjamin, in Jerusalem, until this day.
Jerusalem kah khosa Jebusi te tah Benjamin ca rhoek loh ana haek pawt dongah tihnin due Jerusalem kah Benjamin ca rhoek taengah Jebusi loh kho a sak.
22 And the house of Joseph goes up—even they—to Beth-El, and YHWH [is] with them;
Joseph imko loh Bethela paan uh vaengah khaw amih te BOEIPA loh a om puei.
23 and the house of Joseph causes [men] to spy out Beth-El (and the name of the city [was] formerly Luz),
Lamhmaa ming Luz khopuei la aka om Bethel te Joseph imko loh a yaam uh.
24 and the watchers see a man coming out from the city, and say to him, “Please show us the entrance of the city, and we have done kindness with you.”
Te vaengah kho khui lamkah aka lo hlang pakhat te longyam rhoek loh a hmuh uh tih, “Khopuei khuirhai te kaimih n'tueng dae, nang taengah sitlohnah ka saii uh van bitni,” a ti nah.
25 And he shows them the entrance of the city, and they strike the city by the mouth of the sword, and they have sent the man and all his family away;
Te dongah amih te khopuei vongrhaia tueng tih khopuei te cunghang ha neh a tloek uh. Tedae hlang pakhat neh a imkhui pum te tah a loeih sakuh.
26 and the man goes to the land of the Hittites, and builds a city, and calls its name Luz—it [is] its name to this day.
Te dongah hlang pakhat te Khitti kho la cet tih khoa thoong. Tekah kho ming te Luz la ana khue dongah tihnin due anih ming la om.
27 And Manasseh has not occupied Beth-Shean and its towns, and Taanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Iblaim and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns, and the Canaanite is desirous to dwell in that land;
Bethshan neh a khobuel rhoek, Taanakh neh a khobuel rhoek, Dore kah aka om, aka om neh a khobuel rhoek, Ibleam kah aka om rhoek neh a khobuel rhoek, Megiddo kah aka om rhoek neh a khobuel rhoek tah Manasseh loh ana haek pawt dongah Kanaan rhoek loh khohmuen ah khosak ham khak huul uh.
28 and it comes to pass, when Israel has been strong, that he sets the Canaanite to forced labor, and has not utterly dispossessed it.
Israela om vaengaha moem tih Kanaan te saldong laa khueh tiha haek rhoe a haek moenih.
29 And Ephraim has not dispossessed the Canaanite who is dwelling in Gezer, and the Canaanite dwells in its midst, in Gezer.
Gezer ah aka om Kanaan te khaw Ephraim loh ana haek pawt dongah Gezer kah Kanaan tah amih lakli ah kho a sak.
30 Zebulun has not dispossessed the inhabitants of Kitron, and the inhabitants of Nahalol, and the Canaanite dwells in its midst, and they become forced labor.
Kitron kah khosa rhoek neh Nahalal kah khosa rhoek te khaw Zebulun loh ana haek pawt dongah a lakli ah Kanaan loh kho a sak tih saldong la om uh.
31 Asher has not dispossessed the inhabitants of Accho, and the inhabitants of Sidon, and Ahlab, and Achzib, and Helbah, and Aphik, and Rehob;
Akkho kah khosa rhoek, Sidon kah khosa rhoek neh Ahlab, Akhzib, Helbah, Aphek, Rehoh te khaw Asher loh ana haek pawh.
32 and the Asherite dwells in the midst of the Canaanite, the inhabitants of the land, for it has not dispossessed them.
Amih te ana haek pawt dongah khohmuen kah aka om Kanaan lakli ah Asher long khaw kho a sak.
33 Naphtali has not dispossessed the inhabitants of Beth-Shemesh, and the inhabitants of Beth-Anath, and he dwells in the midst of the Canaanite, the inhabitants of the land; and the inhabitants of Beth-Shemesh and of Beth-Anath were for forced labor for them.
Bethshemesh kah khosa rhoek neh Bethanath khosa rhoek te Naphtali loh ana haek pawt dongah khohmuen kah aka om Kanaan lakli ah kho a sak. Tedae Bethshemesh neh Bethanath kah aka om rhoek te tah amih ham saldong la om uh.
34 And the Amorites press the sons of Dan to the mountain, for they have not permitted them to go down to the valley;
Tlang kah Dan ca rhoek te Amori loh la a nen dongah anih te tah kol la suntlak sak ham pae pawh.
35 and the Amorite is desirous to dwell in Mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim, and the hand of the house of Joseph is heavy, and they are for forced labor;
Amori khaw Heres tlang, Aijalon neh Shaalbim ah khosak ham huul uh ngawn dae Joseph imko kah a bong a ban a puel phoeiah tah amih te saldong la om uh.
36 and the border of the Amorite [is] from the ascent of Akrabbim, from the rock and upward.
Amori khorhi he Akrabbim kham lamloh Sela voelh a poeng duela om.
