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?”
Mgbe Joshua nwụrụ, ụmụ Izrel jụrụ Onyenwe anyị sị, “Olee ebo ga-ebu ụzọ gaa lụso ndị Kenan agha nʼihi anyị?”
2 And YHWH says, “Judah goes up; behold, I have given the land into his hand.”
Onyenwe anyị zara, “Ọ bụ ebo Juda. Enyefeela m ala ahụ nʼaka ha.”
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.
Ndị Juda gwara ụmụ nwanne ha ndị ebo Simiọn sị, “Soronụ anyị banye nʼala ahụ anyị ketara site nʼife nza, ka anyị ga lụso ndị Kenan agha. Anyị ga-esokwara unu banye nʼala nke unu.” Ya mere, ndị ebo Simiọn soro ha gaa.
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;
Mgbe Juda busoro ha agha, Onyenwe anyị nyefere ndị Kenan, na ndị Periz nʼaka ha, mee ka ha gbuo puku ndị agha iri nʼime obodo Bezek.
5 and they find Adoni-Bezek in Bezek, and fight against him, and strike the Canaanite and the Perizzite.
Nʼebe ahụ ka ha zutere Adoni-Bezek, buso ya agha, tigbukwaa ndị Kenan na ndị Periz.
6 And Adoni-Bezek flees, and they pursue after him, and seize him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes,
Ma Adoni-Bezek gbapụrụ ọsọ zoo onwe ya, ma ha chụgidere ya, jide ya, gbupụ ya isi mkpụrụ aka ya abụọ na isi mkpụrụ ụkwụ ya abụọ.
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.
Mgbe ahụ, Adoni-Bezek sịrị, “Iri ndị eze asaa ka m mesoro ụdị mmeso a unu mesoro m, ọ bụkwa nri si na tebul m dapụ ka ha riri. Ugbu a Chineke akwụghachila m ụgwọ ọrụ ọjọọ m.” Ha kpụụrụ ya gaa Jerusalem, ebe ọ nọ nwụọ.
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;
Ndị Juda busoro obodo Jerusalem agha, were mma agha gbuchapụ mmadụ niile bi nʼime ya, ma gbaakwa obodo ahụ niile ọkụ.
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;
Mgbe nke a gasịrị, ndị agha Juda busoro ndị Kenan bi na ndịda ala ugwu ugwu ahụ, bụ Negev, ya na akụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ nʼebe dị ala ala.
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.
Ha jekwuru ndị Kenan bi nʼobodo Hebrọn (nke a na-akpọ Kiriat Aaba na mbụ) merie Sheshai, na Ahiman, na Talmai.
11 And he goes there to the inhabitants of Debir (and the name of Debir [was] formerly Kirjath-Sepher),
Site nʼebe ahụ, ha jekwuru ndị bi na Debịa (nke a na-akpọ Kiriat Sefa, nʼoge mbụ).
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.”
Kaleb sịrị, “Nwoke ọbụla ga-aga busoo Kiriat Sefa agha ma merie ya ka m ga-akpọnye Aksa bụ nwa m nwanyị ka ọ bụrụ nwunye ya.”
13 And Othniel son of Kenaz, younger brother of Caleb, captures it, and he gives his daughter Achsah to him for a wife.
Otniel nwa Kenaz, nwanne nta Kaleb, lụgburu obodo ahụ nʼagha. Nʼihi nke a, Kaleb kpọnyere ya Aksa, bụ nwa ya nwanyị ka ọ bụrụ nwunye ya.
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]?”
Otu ụbọchị, mgbe Aksa bịakwutere Otniel, ọ kwagidere ya ka ọ rịọọ ala ubi site nʼaka nna ya. Mgbe Aksa si nʼelu ịnyịnya ibu ya rịdata, Kaleb jụrụ ya sị, “Gịnị ka ị chọrọ ka m mere gị?”
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.
Ọ zaghachiri, “Nyem onyinye pụrụ iche. Ebe ọ bụ na i nyela m ala Negev, biko nyekwa m isi mmiri ụfọdụ.” Nʼihi nke a, Kaleb nyere ya isi mmiri mgbago na isi mmiri nke ndịda.
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.
Ụmụnna nwunye Mosis, onye Ken, si nʼobodo nkwụ nkwụ soro ndị Juda, gaa biri nʼetiti ndị ahụ bi nʼọzara Juda, na Negev, nke dị nso nʼArad.
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.
Ndị ikom Juda sooro ndị ikom Simiọn, ụmụnna ha, lụso ndị Kenan bi na Zefat agha, bibie obodo ahụ kpamkpam. Nʼihi nke a, a gụgharịrị obodo ahụ, kpọọ ya Homa.
18 And Judah captures Gaza and its border, and Askelon and its border, and Ekron and its border;
Ndị agha Juda lụgbukwara obodo Gaza, na Ashkelọn, na Ekrọn, tinyere ala niile gbara ha gburugburu.
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.
Onyenwe anyị nọnyeekwara ndị Juda mee ka ha kpochapụ ndị niile bi nʼobodo niile dị nʼala ugwu ugwu ahụ. Ma ha enweghị ike ịchụpụ ndị bi nʼala ndagwurugwu ahụ, nʼihi na ndị ahụ nwere ụgbọ agha igwe dị iche iche.
20 And they give Hebron to Caleb, as Moses has spoken, and he dispossesses the three sons of Anak there.
E nyekwara Kaleb obodo Hebrọn, dịka Mosis kwere ya na nkwa. Kaleb chụpụrụ ụmụ Anak atọ site nʼala ahụ.
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.
Ndị ebo Benjamin enweghị ike chụpụ ndị Jebus bi na Jerusalem. Nʼihi nke a, ha soro ụmụ Benjamin biri ruo taa.
22 And the house of Joseph goes up—even they—to Beth-El, and YHWH [is] with them;
Ma ndị sitere nʼebo Josef busoro obodo Betel agha. Onyenwe anyị nọnyeere ha.
23 and the house of Joseph causes [men] to spy out Beth-El (and the name of the city [was] formerly Luz),
Mgbe ha zipuru ndị ikom ịga nyochapụta obodo Betel, nke a na-akpọ Luz,
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.”
ndị nnyopụta ahụ hụrụ otu nwoke sị nʼobodo ahụ na-apụta. Ha gwara ya okwu sị ya, “Zi anyị ụzọ anyị ga-esi banye nʼime obodo a, anyị ga-ahụ na e mesoro gị mmeso dị mma.”
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;
Ya mere, nwoke ahụ gosiri ha ụzọ, ha ji mma agha gbuo mmadụ niile bi nʼime obodo ahụ, ma ha hapụrụ nwoke ahụ na ezinaụlọ ya ndụ.
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.
Emesịa, nwoke ahụ kpọọrọ ezinaụlọ ya gaa biri nʼala ndị Het wuoro onwe ya otu obodo nʼebe ahụ. Ọ kpọrọ aha obodo ahụ Luz, nke bụkwa aha obodo ahụ ruo taa.
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;
Manase achụpụghị ndị Bet-Shan na obodo nta ya ndị ọzọ, maọbụ Teanak na obodo nta ya ndị ọzọ, maọbụ Doa, maọbụ Ibleam, maọbụ Megido, tinyere obodo nta niile ndị ọzọ gbara ha gburugburu. Nʼihi na ndị Kenan bigidere nʼebe ahụ.
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.
Mgbe ụmụ Izrel dịrị ike karịa, ha manyere ndị Kenan ị rụrụ ha ọrụ, ma ha achụpụghị ha site nʼala ahụ.
29 And Ephraim has not dispossessed the Canaanite who is dwelling in Gezer, and the Canaanite dwells in its midst, in Gezer.
Ifrem enwekwaghị ike chụpụ ndị Kenan bi na Gaza. Ndị Kenan gara nʼihu biri nʼetiti ha nʼebe ahụ.
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.
Otu a kwa, ebo Zebụlọn achụpụghị ndị Kenan bi nʼala Kitrọn, maọbụ na Nahalol, kama ha mere ha ndị ohu na-arụ ọrụ ike.
31 Asher has not dispossessed the inhabitants of Accho, and the inhabitants of Sidon, and Ahlab, and Achzib, and Helbah, and Aphik, and Rehob;
Ọzọkwa, ndị ebo Asha achụpụghị ndị niile bi nʼAkọ, na Saịdọn, na Ahlab, na Akzib, na Helba, na Afik, maọbụ Rehob.
32 and the Asherite dwells in the midst of the Canaanite, the inhabitants of the land, for it has not dispossessed them.
Ndị Asha binyere nʼetiti ndị Kenan bụ ndị bi nʼala ahụ, nʼihi na ha achụpụghị ha.
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.
Ndị ebo Naftalị achụpụghịkwa ndị bi na Bet-Shemesh, maọbụ ndị bi na Bet-Anat. Kama ndị Naftalị binyere ndị Kenan bi nʼala ahụ. Ma ndị bi na Bet-Shemesh, na Bet-Anat ghọrọ ndị ohu ndị Naftalị.
34 And the Amorites press the sons of Dan to the mountain, for they have not permitted them to go down to the valley;
Ma banyere ndị ebo Dan, ndị Amọrait chụpụrụ ha chụba ha nʼelu ugwu. Ha ekwenyeghị ka ha rịdata na ndịda ugwu ahụ.
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;
Ma ndị Amọrait nọgidesịrị ike nʼugwu Heres, na Aijalon, na Shaalbim, ma mgbe ike ebo Josef bara ụba, ha meriri ha, mee ha ndị ohu ha.
36 and the border of the Amorite [is] from the ascent of Akrabbim, from the rock and upward.
Oke ala ụmụ ndị Amọrait malitere na mgbago Akrabim ruo, ma gafeekwa ebe a na-akpọ Sela.
