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?”
Sima na kufa ya Jozue, bana ya Isalaele batunaki Yawe: — Libota nini kati na biso ekokende liboso mpo na kobundisa bato ya Kanana?
2 And YHWH says, “Judah goes up; behold, I have given the land into his hand.”
Yawe azongisaki: — Libota ya Yuda nde ekokende liboso, pamba te napesi mokili oyo na maboko na bango.
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.
Bongo bato ya libota ya Yuda balobaki na bandeko na bango ya libota ya Simeoni: — Boya elongo na biso mpo ete tobundisa bato ya Kanana, mpo na eteni ya mabele oyo epesamelaki biso. Bongo, biso mpe tokokende elongo na bino, na eteni ya mabele na bino. Boye, bato ya libota ya Simeoni bakendeki elongo na bango.
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;
Tango libota ya Yuda ekotaki na bitumba, Yawe akabaki bato ya Kanana mpe ya Perizi na maboko na bango, mpe babomaki bato nkoto zomi, na Bezeki.
5 and they find Adoni-Bezek in Bezek, and fight against him, and strike the Canaanite and the Perizzite.
Ezalaki kuna nde bakutaki Adoni-Bezeki mpe babundisaki ye. Balongaki bato ya Kanana mpe ya Perizi.
6 And Adoni-Bezek flees, and they pursue after him, and seize him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes,
Adoni-Bezeki akimaki; kasi balandaki ye mpe bakangaki ye, bakataki ye misapi ya minene ya maboko mpe ya makolo.
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.
Adoni-Bezeki alobaki: « Bakonzi tuku sambo, oyo bakata bango misapi ya minene ya maboko mpe ya makolo, bazalaki kolokota biloko oyo ezalaki kokweya na se ya mesa na ngai. Sik’oyo, Nzambe azongiseli ngai makambo oyo nasalaki baninga. » Bamemaki ye na Yelusalemi, mpe akufaki kuna.
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;
Bato ya libota ya Yuda babundisaki Yelusalemi mpe babotolaki yango; babomaki bato ya engumba yango na mopanga mpe batiaki yango moto.
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;
Sima na yango, bato ya libota ya Yuda bakendeki kobundisa bato ya Kanana oyo bazalaki kovanda na mokili ya bangomba, na Negevi, mpe na etando oyo ezalaki pembeni ya ebale.
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.
Bato ya libota ya Yuda babundisaki lisusu bato ya Kanana oyo bazalaki kovanda na Ebron, oyo kombo na yango ezalaki na kala « Kiriati-Ariba. » Balongaki Sheshayi, Ayimani mpe Talimayi.
11 And he goes there to the inhabitants of Debir (and the name of Debir [was] formerly Kirjath-Sepher),
Longwa wana, bapusanaki mpe bakendeki kobundisa bavandi ya Debiri oyo kombo na yango ezalaki na kala « Kiriati-Seferi. »
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.”
Kalebi alobaki: « Nakopesa na libala Akisa, mwana na ngai ya mwasi, epai ya moto nyonso oyo akobundisa mpe akobotola Kiriati-Seferi. »
13 And Othniel son of Kenaz, younger brother of Caleb, captures it, and he gives his daughter Achsah to him for a wife.
Otinieli, mwana mobali ya Kenazi, ndeko ya Kalebi, abotolaki yango; boye Kalebi apesaki Akisa, mwana na ye ya mwasi, na libala epai ya Otinieli.
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]?”
Nzokande, tango Akisa akomaki na ndako ya Otinieli, atindikaki ye ete asenga elanga epai ya Kalebi, tata na ye. Boye, tango Akisa akitaki wuta na ane na ye, Kalebi atunaki ye: — Olingi nini?
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.
Akisa azongisaki: — Salela ngai ngolu. Lokola opesaki ngai eteni ya mabele kati na Negevi, pesa ngai lisusu bitima. Boye, Kalebi apesaki ye bitima ya likolo mpe ya se.
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.
Bakitani ya Keni oyo azalaki bokilo ya Moyize balongwaki na engumba ya banzete ya Mbila elongo na bato ya libota ya Yuda, mpe bakendeki kovanda esika moko na bavandi ya esobe ya Yuda, oyo ezali na sude ya Aradi.
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.
Bato ya libota ya Yuda elongo na bandeko na bango ya libota ya Simeoni bakendeki kobundisa bato ya Kanana oyo bazalaki kovanda na Tsefati, mpe babebisaki bango. Yango wana, bapesaki engumba yango kombo « Orima. »
18 And Judah captures Gaza and its border, and Askelon and its border, and Ekron and its border;
Bato ya libota ya Yuda babotolaki lisusu Gaza, Ashikeloni mpe Ekroni, elongo na mabele na yango ya pembeni.
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.
Yawe azalaki elongo na bato ya libota ya Yuda. Babotolaki mokili ya bangomba, kasi balongaki te kobengana bavandi ya etando, pamba te bazalaki na bashar ya bibende.
20 And they give Hebron to Caleb, as Moses has spoken, and he dispossesses the three sons of Anak there.
Kolanda ndenge Moyize alobaki, bapesaki na Kalebi engumba Ebron. Mpe Kalebi abenganaki na Ebron bana mibali misato ya Anaki.
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.
Nzokande, bato ya libota ya Benjame babenganaki te bato ya Yebusi oyo bazalaki kovanda na Yelusalemi. Boye, kino na mokolo ya lelo, bato ya Yebusi bavandaka esika moko na bato ya libota ya Benjame.
22 And the house of Joseph goes up—even they—to Beth-El, and YHWH [is] with them;
Bato kati na ndako ya Jozefi bamataki mpo na kobundisa Beteli, mpe Yawe azalaki elongo na bango.
23 and the house of Joseph causes [men] to spy out Beth-El (and the name of the city [was] formerly Luz),
Tango libota ya Jozefi etindaki bato ete bakende kononga engumba Beteli oyo bazalaki kobenga na kala Luze,
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.”
banongi bamonaki moto moko kobima na engumba mpe balobaki na ye: « Lakisa biso esika nini tokoki kokotela na kati ya engumba, mpe tokosalela yo bolamu. »
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;
Boye, alakisaki bango esika ya kokotela na kati na engumba. Mpe babomaki bato ya engumba yango na mopanga, kasi babikisaki moto wana elongo na libota na ye mobimba.
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.
Moto yango akendeki na mokili ya bato ya Iti mpe atongaki kuna engumba oyo apesaki kombo « Luze » oyo etikala kino lelo.
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;
Kasi bato ya libota ya Manase babenganaki te bato ya Beti-Sheani mpe bamboka na yango ya mike, bato ya Taanaki mpe bamboka na yango ya mike, bato ya Dori mpe bamboka na yango ya mike, bato ya Yibileayimi mpe bamboka na yango ya mike, bato ya Megido mpe bamboka na yango ya mike; pamba te bato ya Kanana batingamaki kaka kovanda na mokili yango.
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.
Tango bana ya Isalaele bakomaki lisusu makasi, bakomaki kosalisa bato ya Kanana misala makasi, kasi babenganaki bango nyonso te.
29 And Ephraim has not dispossessed the Canaanite who is dwelling in Gezer, and the Canaanite dwells in its midst, in Gezer.
Bato ya libota ya Efrayimi babenganaki te bato ya Kanana oyo bazalaki kovanda na Gezeri, mpe bato ya Kanana bakobaki kovanda esika moko na bango.
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.
Bato ya libota ya Zabuloni babenganaki te bavandi ya Kitroni mpe ya Naaloli. Bato ya Kanana bakobaki kovanda esika moko na bango, kasi bakomaki kosalisa bango misala makasi.
31 Asher has not dispossessed the inhabitants of Accho, and the inhabitants of Sidon, and Ahlab, and Achzib, and Helbah, and Aphik, and Rehob;
Bato ya libota ya Aseri babenganaki te bato ya Ako, ya Sidoni, ya Ayilabi, ya Akizibi, ya Eliba, ya Afiki mpe ya Reobi.
32 and the Asherite dwells in the midst of the Canaanite, the inhabitants of the land, for it has not dispossessed them.
Likolo na yango, bato ya libota ya Aseri bakomaki kovanda esika moko na bato ya Kanana oyo bazalaki kovanda na mokili yango.
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.
Bato ya libota ya Nefitali babenganaki te bato oyo bazalaki kovanda na Beti-Shemeshi mpe na Beti-Anati. Boye, bakomaki kovanda esika moko na bato ya Kanana oyo bazalaki kovanda na mokili yango; kasi bato ya Beti-Shemeshi mpe ya Beti-Anati bakomaki kosala misala makasi.
34 And the Amorites press the sons of Dan to the mountain, for they have not permitted them to go down to the valley;
Bato ya Amori batindikaki libota ya Dani mosika, na likolo ya bangomba, mpo ete balonga te kokita na etando ya polele.
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;
Boye, bato ya Amori mpe batingamaki kaka kovanda na Ari-Eresi, na Ayaloni mpe na Shaalibimi. Kasi tango ndako ya Jozefi ekomaki lisusu na nguya, bakomaki kosalisa bango misala makasi.
36 and the border of the Amorite [is] from the ascent of Akrabbim, from the rock and upward.
Mondelo ya mabele ya bato ya Amori ezalaki longwa na Libanga ya Sela, elekaki na bangomba ya Akarabimi kino na likolo.
