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?”
Pea hili ʻae pekia ʻa Siosiua naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe fehuʻi ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “Ko hai ʻiate kimautolu ʻe ʻalu muʻomuʻa hake ki he kau Kēnani ke tauʻi ʻakinautolu?”
2 And YHWH says, “Judah goes up; behold, I have given the land into his hand.”
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova, “Ke ʻalu hake ʻa Siuta: vakai, kuo u tukuange ʻae fonua ki hono nima.”
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.
Pea naʻe lea ʻa Siuta ki hono tokoua ko Simione, ʻo pehē, “Haʻu ke ta ō mo koe ki hoku tofiʻa, koeʻuhi ke ta tauʻi ʻae kau Kēnani; pea te u ʻalu mo koe foki ki ho tofiʻa.” Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Simione mo ia.
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;
Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Siuta: pea naʻe tukuange ʻe Sihova ʻae kau Kēnani mo e kau Pelesi ki honau nima: pea naʻa nau tāmateʻi ʻiate kinautolu ʻi Piseki ko e kau tangata ʻe tokotaha mano.
5 and they find Adoni-Bezek in Bezek, and fight against him, and strike the Canaanite and the Perizzite.
Pea naʻa nau ʻilo ʻa ʻAtoni-Piseki ʻi Piseki: pea naʻa nau tauʻi ia, pea naʻa nau tāmateʻi ʻae kau Kēnani mo e kau Pelesi.
6 And Adoni-Bezek flees, and they pursue after him, and seize him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes,
Ka naʻe hola ʻa ʻAtoni-Piseki; pea naʻa nau tuli ʻo maʻu ia, ʻonau tutuʻu hono ongo motuʻa nima mo hono motuʻa vaʻe.
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻAtoni-Piseki, “Ko e tuʻi ʻe toko fitungofulu, naʻe tutuʻu honau ngaahi motuʻa nima mo e motuʻa vaʻe, naʻe tufi ʻenau meʻakai ʻi lalo ʻi hoku keinangaʻanga: hangē ko ia naʻaku fai, kuo totongi pehē kiate au ʻe he ʻOtua.” Pea naʻa nau ʻomi ia ki Selūsalema, pea naʻe pekia ia ʻi ai.
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;
Pea ko eni, naʻe tauʻi ʻa Selūsalema ʻe he fānau ʻa Siuta, pea naʻe lavaʻi ia, pea naʻe taaʻi ʻaki ia ʻae mata ʻoe heletā, pea tutu ʻae kolo ʻaki ʻae afi.
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;
Pea hili ia naʻe toki ʻalu ʻae fānau ʻa Siuta ke tauʻi ʻae kau Kēnani, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi he moʻunga, pea ʻi he potu tonga, pea mo e toafa.
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.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Siuta ke tauʻi ʻae kau Kēnani ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi Hepeloni: (pea ko e hingoa ʻo Hepeloni ʻi muʻa ko Kesa-ʻAlipa: ) pea naʻa nau tāmateʻi ʻa Sesei, mo ʻEhimani, mo Talimi.
11 And he goes there to the inhabitants of Debir (and the name of Debir [was] formerly Kirjath-Sepher),
Pea naʻe ʻalu mei ai ia ke tauʻi ʻae kakai ʻo Tipa: pea ko hono hingoa muʻa ʻo Tipa, ko Kesa-Sefa:
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.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Kelepi, “Ko ia ʻoku ne taaʻi ʻa Kesa-Sefa, ʻo lavaʻi ia, te u foaki atu kiate ia hoku ʻofefine ko ʻAkesa kena mali.”
13 And Othniel son of Kenaz, younger brother of Caleb, captures it, and he gives his daughter Achsah to him for a wife.
Pea naʻe kapasi ia ʻe Otinili ko e foha ʻo Kenasi ko e tehina ʻo Kelepi: pea ne ʻatu kiate ia hono ʻofefine ko ʻAkesa kena mali.
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]?”
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene haʻu kiate ia, naʻa ne ueʻi ia ke ne kole ʻae ngoue mei heʻene tamai: pea naʻe ʻalu hifo ia mei heʻene ʻasi; pea naʻe pehē ʻe Kelepi kiate ia, Ko e hā ho loto?
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.
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “Tuku mai ha tāpuaki: he kuo ke foaki kiate au ha fonua ʻi he feituʻu tonga; ke ke foaki mai ʻae ngaahi matavai foki.” Pea naʻe foaki ʻe Kelepi kiate ia ʻae ngaahi matavai ʻi ʻolunga mo e ngaahi matavai ʻi lalo.
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.
Pea ko e fānau ʻa Kena ko e tamai ʻi he fono kia Mōsese, ne nau ʻalu hake fakataha mo e fānau ʻa Siuta mei he kolo ʻoe ʻakau ko e ponga ki he toafa ʻo Siuta, ʻaia ʻoku tuʻu ki he potu tonga ʻo ʻAlati; pea naʻa nau ʻalu ʻo nonofo mo e kakai.
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.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Siuta mo hono tokoua ko Simione, pea naʻa na tāmateʻi ʻae kau Kēnani naʻe nofo ʻi Sefati, ʻonau fakaʻauha ʻaupito ia. Pea naʻe ui hono hingoa ʻoe kolo ko Hoama.
18 And Judah captures Gaza and its border, and Askelon and its border, and Ekron and its border;
Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Siuta ʻa Kesa foki mo hono ngaahi potu ʻo ia, mo ʻAsikiloni mo hono ngaahi potu ʻo ia, mo Ekiloni mo hono ngaahi potu ʻo ia.
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.
Pea naʻe ʻia Siuta ʻa Sihova: pea naʻa ne kapusi ʻae kakai ʻoe moʻunga: ka naʻe ʻikai faʻa kapusi ʻe ia ʻae kakai ʻoe teleʻa, koeʻuhi naʻa nau maʻu ʻae ngaahi saliote ʻaione.
20 And they give Hebron to Caleb, as Moses has spoken, and he dispossesses the three sons of Anak there.
Pea naʻa nau foaki ʻa Hepeloni kia Kelepi, ʻo hangē ko e lea ʻa Mōsese: pea naʻa ne kapusi mei ai ʻae foha ʻe toko tolu ʻo ʻAnaki.
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.
Pea naʻe ʻikai kapusi ʻe he fānau ʻa Penisimani ʻae kau Sepusi naʻe nofo ʻi Selūsalema; ka kuo nofo ʻae kau Sepusi mo e fānau ʻa Penisimani ʻi Selūsalema, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.
22 And the house of Joseph goes up—even they—to Beth-El, and YHWH [is] with them;
Pea ko e fale ʻo Siosefa, naʻe ʻalu hake foki ʻakinautolu ke tauʻi ʻa Peteli pea naʻe ʻiate kinautolu ʻa Sihova.
23 and the house of Joseph causes [men] to spy out Beth-El (and the name of the city [was] formerly Luz),
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he fale ʻo Siosefa ke vakaiʻi ʻa Peteli: (Pea ko hono hingoa ʻi muʻa ʻoe kolo ko Lusa.)
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.”
Pea naʻe mamata ʻe he kau mataki ki he tangata ʻoku haʻu kituʻa mei he kolo, pea naʻa nau pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku mau kole kiate koe ke fakahā kiate kimautolu ʻae hūʻanga ki he kolo, pea te mau fai ʻofa kiate koe.”
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;
Pea ʻi heʻene fakahā kiate kinautolu ʻae hūʻanga ki he kolo, naʻa nau taaʻi ʻae kolo ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā; ka naʻa nau tukuange ʻae tangata ke ʻalu mo hono fale kotoa pē.
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.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae tangata ki he fonua ʻoe kau Heti, pea naʻe langa ʻe ia ʻae kolo, pea naʻe ui hono hingoa ʻo ia ko Lusa: ʻaia ko hono hingoa ia ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.
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;
Pea naʻe ʻikai kapusi foki ʻe Manase ʻae kakai mei Pete-Seani mo hono ngaahi potu kakai, mo Tenaki mo hono ngaahi kolo, pe ko e kakai ʻo Toa mo hono ngaahi kolo, pe ko e kakai ʻo Ipiliami mo hono ngaahi kolo, pe ko e kakai ʻo Mekito mo hono ngaahi kolo: ka naʻe maʻu pe ʻae loto ʻoe kau Kēnani kenau nofo ʻi he fonua.
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.
Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi he hoko ʻo mālohi ʻa ʻIsileli, naʻa nau fekau ke tukuhau ʻae kau Kēnani, pea naʻe ʻikai tenau kapusi ʻaupito ʻakinautolu kituaʻā.
29 And Ephraim has not dispossessed the Canaanite who is dwelling in Gezer, and the Canaanite dwells in its midst, in Gezer.
Pea naʻe ʻikai kapusi foki ʻe ʻIfalemi ʻae kau Kēnani ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi Kesa; ka naʻe nofo ʻi Kesa ʻae kau Kēnani mo kinautolu.
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.
Pea naʻe ʻikai kapusi ʻe Sepuloni ʻae kakai ʻo Kitiloni, pe ko e kakai ʻo Nehaloli; ka naʻe nofo ʻae kau Kēnani mo kinautolu, ʻonau hoko ʻo tukuhau.
31 Asher has not dispossessed the inhabitants of Accho, and the inhabitants of Sidon, and Ahlab, and Achzib, and Helbah, and Aphik, and Rehob;
Pea naʻe ʻikai kapusi ʻe ʻAseli ʻae kakai ʻo ʻAko, pe ko e kakai ʻo Saitoni, pe ko e kakai ʻo ʻAlapi, pe ko Ekisipi, pe ko Elipa, pe ko ʻAfiki, pe ko Lehopi:
32 and the Asherite dwells in the midst of the Canaanite, the inhabitants of the land, for it has not dispossessed them.
Ka naʻe nofo ʻae kakai ʻAseli mo e kau Kēnani, ʻaia ko e kakai ʻae fonua: he naʻe ʻikai tenau kapusi ʻakinautolu kituaʻā.
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.
Pea naʻe ʻikai kapusi ʻe Nafitali ʻae kakai ʻo Pete-Semesi, pe ko e kakai ʻo Pete-ʻAnati; ka naʻe nofo ia mo e kau Kēnani, ko e kakai ʻoe fonua: ka naʻe hoko ʻo tukuhau kiate kinautolu ʻae kakai ʻo Pete-Semesi, pea mo Pete-ʻAnati.
34 And the Amorites press the sons of Dan to the mountain, for they have not permitted them to go down to the valley;
Pea naʻe kapusi ʻe he kau ʻAmoli ʻae fānau ʻa Tani ki he moʻunga: he naʻe ʻikai tenau tuku ʻakinautolu ke ʻalu hifo ki he teleʻa.
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;
Ka naʻe maʻu pe ʻae loto ʻoe kau ʻAmoli kenau nofo ʻi he moʻunga ko Elesi ʻi ʻAsaloni, mo Seʻelipimi: ka naʻe mālohi ʻae nima ʻoe fale ʻo Siosefa, ko ia ne nau hoko ʻo tukuhau ai.
36 and the border of the Amorite [is] from the ascent of Akrabbim, from the rock and upward.
Pea ko hono ngataʻanga ʻoe fonua ʻoe kau ʻAmoli naʻe fai mei he ʻalu hake ki ʻAkilapime, mei he makatuʻu ʻo mole hake.
