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?”
Joshua a due hnukkhu, Isarelnaw ni Kanaannaw tuk hanelah, apimaw maimouh hanlah hma ka hman han telah BAWIPA hah a pacei awh.
2 And YHWH says, “Judah goes up; behold, I have given the land into his hand.”
BAWIPA ni, Judah a cei han. A kut dawk ram teh ka poe toe, telah a ti.
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.
Judah ni a hmau Simeon koevah, Kanaannaw tuk thai nahanelah, ka ham e ram koe kai na pue haw, kai ni hai nang ni na ham e ram koe na pue van han, atipouh. Hahoi teh, Simeon ni ahni koe a kâbang pouh.
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;
Judah ni a kamthaw teh Kanaannaw hoi Periznaw hah BAWIPA ni a kut dawk a poe teh, Bezek vah tami 10, 000 touh a thei awh.
5 and they find Adoni-Bezek in Bezek, and fight against him, and strike the Canaanite and the Perizzite.
Bezek kho vah Adonibezek siangpahrang a hmu awh teh, Kanaannaw hoi Periznaw a thei awh toteh,
6 And Adoni-Bezek flees, and they pursue after him, and seize him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes,
siangpahrang teh a yawng eiteh, Judahnaw ni a pâlei awh teh, bout a man awh. A kutpui, a khokpui soumsoum a tâtueng pouh awh.
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.
Adonibezek ni kutpui hoi khokpui a tâtueng pouh e siangpahrang 70 touh ni, kaie caboi rahim buramei a luep awh. Kai ni ouk ka sak e patetlah, BAWIPA ni kai dawk moi na pathung toe ati. Hote siangpahrangnaw teh, Jerusalem a ceikhai awh teh, hawvah a due.
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;
Hahoi Judahnaw ni Jerusalem teh tahloi hoi koung a thei awh hnukkhu, hmai a sawi awh.
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;
Hathnukkhu hoi teh, mon dawk kaawmnaw hai thoseh, akalae kaawmnaw hai thoseh, ayawn dawk kaawmnaw hai thoseh, Kanaannaw hai thoseh, a tuk awh.
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.
Hahoi minruem Kiriath-Arba a phung awh e Hebron kho kaawm e Kanaannaw aonae koe a cei awh teh, Sheshai Ahiman, Talmainaw a thei awh.
11 And he goes there to the inhabitants of Debir (and the name of Debir [was] formerly Kirjath-Sepher),
Haw hoi teh, Debir kaawm e naw hah a cei sin awh. Debir teh ayan e min lahoi teh Kiriath-sepher doeh.
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.”
Hahoi Kalep ni, Kiriath-sepher khopui ka tâ thai e tami teh kai ni ka canu Akasah a yu lah ka poe han telah 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.
Kalep e a nawngha Kenaz e capa Othniel ni a tâ teh a canu Akasah teh a yu lah a poe.
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]?”
Hote napui kahlawng a cei navah, A na pa koe lawhmuennaw hei hanlah a kâpan roi hnukkhu, marang dawk hoi a kum. A na pa ni bangmaw na ngai e kaawm telah a pacei navah,
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.
a canu ni yawhawi na poe hanelah ka ngai. Akalae ram na poe boum teh, tuidonaw hai hmawi na poe sin loe atipouh. A na pa ni atunglae tuido hoi akalae tuido puenghai a poe.
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.
Mosi masei e a na minca lah kaawm e Ken miphunnaw hateh, Judahnaw hoi ungkung kho thung kaawm e, Arad ram teng kaawm e, Judah ram dawk a kâbang van teh, kho cungtalah a sak awh.
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.
Hahoi teh, Judah ni a hmau Simeon hoi a cei roi teh, Zephath kho kaawm e Kanaannaw a thei roi teh, khopui hai he a raphoe roi. Hatdawkvah, Hormah telah a phung awh.
18 And Judah captures Gaza and its border, and Askelon and its border, and Ekron and its border;
Hahoi Judah ni Gaza hoi ateng e khonaw, Askelon hoi ateng e khonaw, Ekron hoi ateng e khonaw hai koung a la pouh.
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.
BAWIPA teh Judah hoi cungtalah ao dawkvah, ahni ni mon dawk e naw pueng he a pâlei. Hateiteh, ayawn dawk kho ka sak e naw teh, sumrangleng a tawn awh dawkvah, pâlei thai awh hoeh.
20 And they give Hebron to Caleb, as Moses has spoken, and he dispossesses the three sons of Anak there.
Hahoi Mosi ni a dei e patetlah Hebron teh Kalep a poe awh. Anakim e capa kathum touh teh, hote kho hoi a pâlei awh.
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.
Hatei Benjamin miphunnaw niteh, Jerusalem kaawm e Jebusitnaw hah pâlei awh hoeh dawkvah, atu totouh, Jebusitnaw hah Benjaminnaw hoi Jerusalem vah reirei ao awh.
22 And the house of Joseph goes up—even they—to Beth-El, and YHWH [is] with them;
Joseph miphunnaw nihai, Bethel a tuk awh navah, BAWIPA teh ahnimouh koe ao.
23 and the house of Joseph causes [men] to spy out Beth-El (and the name of the city [was] formerly Luz),
Joseph miphun niteh, Bethel tuet hanlah, a patoun awh. Hote kho min teh ayan teh Luz tie doeh.
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.”
Katuetnaw ni kho thung hoi ka tâcawt e tami buet touh a hmu awh teh, kho thung kâennae lam na patue haw. Hat pawiteh, na hlout han atipouh.
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;
Hote tami ni kho thung kâennae lam a patue teh, ahnimouh ni khocanaw hah tahloi hoi he a tâtueng awh. Hatei, hote tami hoi imthungkhunaw teh a hlout sak awh.
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.
Hote a hlout sak awh e imthung teh, Hit ram lah a cei awh teh hawvah kho a sak awh. Ahnimae kho min teh Luz telah a phung awh. Sahnin totouh a min lah pou ao.
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;
Manasseh miphun niteh, Bethshean khonaw, Tanak khonaw, Dor khonaw, Ibleam khonaw, Megiddo khonaw hah pâlei laipalah, Kanaannaw hoi Hote ram dawk cungtalah rei pou ao awh.
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.
Isarelnaw a tha ao toteh, Kanaannaw teh pâlei hoeh eiteh, a kut rahim thaw a tawk sak awh.
29 And Ephraim has not dispossessed the Canaanite who is dwelling in Gezer, and the Canaanite dwells in its midst, in Gezer.
Ephraim niteh, Gezer kaawm e Kanaannaw pâlei awh hoeh. Hatei, Kanaannaw hoi mak kâkalawt lah kho a sak awh.
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.

31 Asher has not dispossessed the inhabitants of Accho, and the inhabitants of Sidon, and Ahlab, and Achzib, and Helbah, and Aphik, and Rehob;
Hot patetvanlah, Asher miphun ni hai Akko kho kaawmnaw, Sidon kho kaawmnaw, Ahlab kho kaawmnaw, Akhzib kho kaawmnaw, Helbah kho kaawmnaw, Aphik kho kaawmnaw, Rehob kho kaawmnaw a pâlei awh hoeh dawkvah,
32 and the Asherite dwells in the midst of the Canaanite, the inhabitants of the land, for it has not dispossessed them.
Asher miphunnaw teh, Kanaannaw koe kho a sak awh.
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.
Naphtali miphun ni Bethshemesh kho kaawmnaw, Bethanath kaawmnaw pâlei awh hoeh. Kanaannaw hoi mak kâkalawt lah kho a sak awh. Bethshemesh hoi Bethanathnaw teh, a kut rahim thaw a tawk sak awh.
34 And the Amorites press the sons of Dan to the mountain, for they have not permitted them to go down to the valley;
Amornaw nihai, Dannaw teh mon lah a pâlei awh teh, ayawn dawk teh awm sak awh hoeh.
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;
Amornaw teh, Heres, Aijalon hoi Shaalbim vah pou ao awh. Hahoi teh, Joseph miphunnaw a tha ao awh teh, Amornaw a kut rahim thaw a tawk sak awh.
36 and the border of the Amorite [is] from the ascent of Akrabbim, from the rock and upward.
Amornaw e khori teh, Akrabbim lah ka takhang niteh, Sela e a lathueng lah pou a cei.
