Judges 1

1 And it was after [the] death of Joshua and they enquired [the] people of Israel by Yahweh saying who? will he go up for us against the Canaanite[s] at the first to engage in battle against him.

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 he said Yahweh Judah he will go up here! I have given the land in hand his.

Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova, “Ke ʻalu hake ʻa Siuta: vakai, kuo u tukuange ʻae fonua ki hono nima.”

3 And he said Judah to Simeon brother his come up with me in lot my so let us fight against the Canaanite[s] and I will go also I with you in lot your and he went with him Simeon.

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 he went up Judah and he gave Yahweh the Canaanite[s] and the Perizzite[s] in hand their and they defeated them at Bezek ten thousand man.

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 found Adoni-Bezek at Bezek and they fought against him and they defeated the Canaanite[s] and the Perizzite[s].

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 he fled Adoni-Bezek and they pursued after him and they seized him and they cut off [the] thumbs of hands his and feet his.

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 he said Adoni-Bezek seventy - kings [the] thumbs of hands their and feet their cut off they were gathering up under table my just as I have done so he has repaid to me God and they brought him 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 And they fought [the] descendants of Judah against Jerusalem and they captured it and they struck it to [the] mouth of [the] sword and the city they sent in 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 after they went down [the] descendants of Judah to fight against the Canaanite[s] [who] dwelt of the hill country and the Negev and the Shephelah.

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 he went Judah against the Canaanite[s] who dwelt in Hebron and [the] name of Hebron before [was] Kiriath Arba and they defeated 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 went from there against [the] inhabitants of Debir and [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 And he said Caleb [the one] who he will strike Kiriath Sepher and he will capture it and I will give to him Achsah daughter my to 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 he captured it Othniel [the] son of Kenaz [the] brother of Caleb young more than him and he gave to him Achsah daughter his to 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 was when came she and she incited him to ask from with father her the field and she went down from on the donkey and he said to her Caleb what? [is] to you.

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 said to him give! to me a blessing for [the] land of the Negev you have given to me and you will give to me springs of water and he gave to her Caleb springs upper and springs lower.

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 [the] father-in-law of Moses they went up from [the] city of the palm trees with [the] descendants of Judah [the] wilderness of Judah which [is] in [the] Negev Arad and he went and he dwelt 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 he went Judah with Simeon brother his and they attacked the Canaanite[s] [who] dwelt of Zephath and they totally destroyed it and he called [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 he captured Judah Gaza and territory its and Ashkelon and territory its and Ekron and territory its.

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 he was Yahweh (with *L(abh)*) Judah and it took possession of the hill country for not to dispossess [the] inhabitants of the valley for chariotry of iron [belonged] to them.

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 people gave to Caleb Hebron just as he had said Moses and he dispossessed from there three [the] 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 And the Jebusite[s] [who] dwelt of Jerusalem not they dispossessed [the] descendants of Benjamin and he has dwelt the Jebusite[s] with [the] descendants of Benjamin in Jerusalem until the day this.

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 they went up [the] house of Joseph also they Beth-el and Yahweh [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 they caused to spy out [the] house of Joseph at Beth-el and [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 they saw those [who] watched a man coming out from the city and they said to him show us please [the] entrance of the city and we will do with you loyalty.

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 showed them [the] entrance of the city and they struck the city to [the] mouth of [the] sword and the man and all family his they let go.

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 he went the man [the] land of the Hittites and he built a city and he called name its Luz that [is] name its until the day this.

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 not it took possession of Manasseh Beth Shean and daughters its and Taanach and daughters its and ([the] inhabitants of *Q(K)*) Dor and daughters its and [the] inhabitants of Ibleam and daughters its and [the] inhabitants of Megiddo and daughters its and it was determined the Canaanite[s] to dwell in the land this.

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 was that it became strong Israel and it made the Canaanite[s] into forced labor and certainly not it dispossessed him.

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.

32 And it dwelt the Asherite[s] in [the] midst of the Canaanite[s] [the] inhabitants of the land for not it dispossessed it.

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 not it dispossessed [the] inhabitants of Beth Shemesh and [the] inhabitants of Beth Anath and it dwelt in [the] midst of the Canaanite[s] [the] inhabitants of the land and [the] inhabitants of Beth Shemesh and Beth Anath they became for them forced labor.

35 And it was determined the Amorite[s] to dwell in [the] mountain of Heres in Aijalon and in Shaalbim and it was heavy [the] hand of [the] house of Joseph and they became 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[s] [was] from [the] ascent of scorpions from Sela and up-wards.

Pea ko hono ngataʻanga ʻoe fonua ʻoe kau ʻAmoli naʻe fai mei he ʻalu hake ki ʻAkilapime, mei he makatuʻu ʻo mole hake.
