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?"

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 YHWH said, "Judah should go up. Look, I have delivered 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 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.

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 Judah went up; and YHWH delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand: and they struck of 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 They found Adoni-Bezek in Bezek; and they fought against him, and they struck the Canaanites and the Perizzites.

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 But Adoni-Bezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught 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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 From there he went against the inhabitants of Debir. (Now the name of Debir before was Kiriath Sepher.)

Pea naʻe ʻalu mei ai ia ke tauʻi ʻae kakai ʻo Tipa: pea ko hono hingoa muʻa ʻo Tipa, ko Kesa-Sefa:

12 Caleb said, "He who strikes Kiriath Sepher, and takes it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter as 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 Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter as 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 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?"

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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 Also Judah took Gaza with its territory, and Ashkelon with its territory, and Ekron with its territory, and Ashdod with its surrounding lands.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 also went up against Bethel; and YHWH was 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 sent out spies to Bethel. (Now the name of the city before was 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 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."

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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 It happened, when Israel had grown strong, that they put the Canaanites to forced labor, and did not utterly drive them out.

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 Ephraim didn't drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer; but the Canaanites lived in Gezer among them.

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 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.

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 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;

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 but the Asherites lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; for they did not drive them out.

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 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.

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 The Amorites forced the people of Dan into the hill country; for they would not allow them to come 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 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.

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 The border of the Amorites was from the ascent of Akrabbim, from Sela 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.
