Judges 1
1 It happened after the death of Joshua, the children of Israel asked of YHWH, saying, "Who should go up first to fight for us against the Canaanites?"
Mgbe Joshua nwụrụ, ụmụ Izrel jụrụ Onyenwe anyị sị, “Olee ebo ga-ebu ụzọ gaa lụso ndị Kenan agha nʼihi anyị?”
2 YHWH said, "Judah should go up. Look, I have delivered the land into his hand."
Onyenwe anyị zara, “Ọ bụ ebo Juda. Enyefeela m ala ahụ nʼaka ha.”
3 Judah said to Simeon his brother, "Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with you into your lot." So Simeon went 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 Judah went up; and YHWH delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand: and they struck of 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 They found Adoni-Bezek in Bezek; and they fought against him, and they struck the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
Nʼebe ahụ ka ha zutere Adoni-Bezek, buso ya agha, tigbukwaa ndị Kenan na ndị Periz.
6 But Adoni-Bezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught 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 Adoni-Bezek said, "Seventy kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, scavenged under my table: as I have done, so God has requited me." They brought him to Jerusalem, and he died 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 The people of Judah fought against Jerusalem, and took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.
Ndị Juda busoro obodo Jerusalem agha, were mma agha gbuchapụ mmadụ niile bi nʼime ya, ma gbaakwa obodo ahụ niile ọkụ.
9 Afterward the people of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites who lived in the hill country, and in the Negev, and in the lowland.
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 went against the Canaanites who lived in Hebron, and Hebron came out in opposition (now the name of Hebron before was Kiriath Arba), and they struck 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 From there he went against the inhabitants of Debir. (Now the name of Debir before was Kiriath Sepher.)
Site nʼebe ahụ, ha jekwuru ndị bi na Debịa (nke a na-akpọ Kiriat Sefa, nʼoge mbụ).
12 Caleb said, "He who strikes Kiriath Sepher, and takes it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter as 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 Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter as 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 It happened, when she came to him, that she got him to ask her father for a field. And she got off from her donkey, and Caleb said to her, "What would you like?"
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 She said to him, "Give me a blessing; since you have given me the land in the Negev, give me also springs of water." So Caleb gave her according to her heart the upper springs and the lower springs.
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 descendants of the Kenite, Moses' father-in-law, went up out of the city of palm trees with the people of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which is in the Negev of Arad; and they went and lived 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 Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they struck the Canaanites who inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. The name of the city was called 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 Also Judah took Gaza with its territory, and Ashkelon with its territory, and Ekron with its territory, and Ashdod with its surrounding lands.
Ndị agha Juda lụgbukwara obodo Gaza, na Ashkelọn, na Ekrọn, tinyere ala niile gbara ha gburugburu.
19 YHWH was with Judah; and drove out the inhabitants of the hill country; for he could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had 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 They gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had spoken. And from there he possessed the three cities, and he drove out from there the three sons of Anak.
E nyekwara Kaleb obodo Hebrọn, dịka Mosis kwere ya na nkwa. Kaleb chụpụrụ ụmụ Anak atọ site nʼala ahụ.
21 The people of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with the people of Benjamin in Jerusalem to 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 also went up against Bethel; and YHWH was with them.
Ma ndị sitere nʼebo Josef busoro obodo Betel agha. Onyenwe anyị nọnyeere ha.
23 And the house of Joseph sent out spies to Bethel. (Now the name of the city before was Luz.)
Mgbe ha zipuru ndị ikom ịga nyochapụta obodo Betel, nke a na-akpọ Luz,
24 And the spies saw a man coming out of the city, and they captured him, and they said to him, "Please show us the entrance into the city, and we will show you mercy."
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 He showed them the entrance into the city; and they struck the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man go and all his family.
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 The man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a city, and called its name Luz, which 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 Manasseh did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shean and its towns, nor Taanach and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns; but the Canaanites would 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 It happened, when Israel had grown strong, that they put the Canaanites to forced labor, and did not utterly drive them out.
Mgbe ụmụ Izrel dịrị ike karịa, ha manyere ndị Kenan ị rụrụ ha ọrụ, ma ha achụpụghị ha site nʼala ahụ.
29 Ephraim didn't drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer; but the Canaanites lived in Gezer among them.
Ifrem enwekwaghị ike chụpụ ndị Kenan bi na Gaza. Ndị Kenan gara nʼihu biri nʼetiti ha nʼebe ahụ.
30 Zebulun didn't drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites lived among them, and became subject to 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 did not drive out the inhabitants of Acco, nor the inhabitants of Sidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob;
Ọzọkwa, ndị ebo Asha achụpụghị ndị niile bi nʼAkọ, na Saịdọn, na Ahlab, na Akzib, na Helba, na Afik, maọbụ Rehob.
32 but the Asherites lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; for they did not drive them out.
Ndị Asha binyere nʼetiti ndị Kenan bụ ndị bi nʼala ahụ, nʼihi na ha achụpụghị ha.
33 Naphtali didn't drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh, nor the inhabitants of Beth Anath; but he lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh and of Beth Anath became subject to forced labor.
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 The Amorites forced the people of Dan into the hill country; for they would not allow them to come 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 but the Amorites would dwell in Mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim: yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, so that they became subject to 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 The border of the Amorites was from the ascent of Akrabbim, from Sela and upward.
Oke ala ụmụ ndị Amọrait malitere na mgbago Akrabim ruo, ma gafeekwa ebe a na-akpọ Sela.
