< Judges 1 >

1 Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass, that the children of Israel asked the LORD, saying, Who shall go up for us against the Canaanites first, to fight against them?
Bangʼ tho Joshua, jo-Israel nopenjo Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Ere ngʼama biro dhi mokwongo mondo okednwa gi jo-Kanaan?”
2 And the LORD said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.
Jehova Nyasaye nodwoko niya, “Dhood Juda ema biro dhi mokwongo; nimar asechiwo pinyno e lwetgi.”
3 And 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 thee into thy lot. So Simeon went with him.
Eka jo-Juda nowachone jo-Simeon mowetegi niya, “Biuru kodwa e gwengʼ mosepogwa, mondo waked gi jo-Kanaan. Wan bende wabiro dhi kodu e maru.” Omiyo jo-Simeon nodhi kodgi.
4 And Judah went up; and the LORD delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand: and they slew of them in Bezek ten thousand men.
Kane jo-Juda omonjogi, Jehova Nyasaye nochiwo jo-Kanaan kod jo-Perizi e lwetgi kendo neginego ji alufu apar Bezek.
5 And they found Adonibezek in Bezek: and they fought against him, and they slew the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
Kanyo ema ne giyudoe Adoni-Bezek kendo negikedo kode, mi giloyo jo-Kanaan gi jo-Perizi.
6 But Adonibezek fled; and they pursued him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.
Adoni-Bezek noringo mondo oyombgi, to ne gilawe ma gimake kendo gingʼado lith lwetene mathuon kod lith tiendene mathuon.
7 And Adonibezek said, seventy kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered their food under my table: as I have done, so God hath repaid me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died.
Eka Adoni-Bezek nowacho niya, “Ruodhi piero abiriyo ma lith lwetegi mathuon kod lith tiendegi mathuon osengʼad oko osebedo ka chamo ngʼinjo e bwo mesana. Koro Nyasaye osechula kuom gigo mane atimonegi.” Negikele Jerusalem, kendo notho kanyo.
8 Now the children of Judah had fought against Jerusalem, and had taken it, and smitten it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.
Jo-Juda bende nomonjo Jerusalem kendo ne gikawe. Negimonjo dala maduongʼno gi ligangla kendo gimoko mach kuome.
9 And afterward the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites, that dwelt on the mountain, and in the south, and in the valley.
Bangʼ mano, jo-Juda nodhi mondo giked gi jo-Kanaan modak e piny manie got Negev kod tiend gode mantiere yo podho chiengʼ.
10 And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron: (now the name of Hebron before was Kirjatharba: ) and they slew Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.
Negidhi nyime kendo gikedo gi jo-Kanaan modak Hebron (machon ne iluongo ni Kiriath Arba) kendo negiloyo Sheshai, Ahiman kod Talmai.
11 And from there he went against the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before was Kirjathsepher:
Koa kanyo negisudo nyime kendo gimonjo joma odak Debir (machon ne iluongo ni Kiriath Sefa).
12 And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjathsepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter for a wife.
To Kaleb nowacho niya, “Anachiw nyara Aksa mondo okendi gi ngʼatno manoked ma kaw Kiriath Sefa.”
13 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter for a wife.
Othniel wuod Kenaz, ma owadgi Kaleb matin, noloyo pinyno, omiyo Kaleb nomiye nyare Aksa mondo okendi.
14 And it came to pass, when she came to him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she got off her donkey; and Caleb said to her, What wilt thou?
Chiengʼ moro achiel kane obiro ir Othniel, nojiwe mondo okwa wuon mare puodho. Kane olor oa e pundane, Kaleb nopenje niya, “En angʼo midwaro ni mondo atimni?”
15 And she said to him, Give me a blessing: for thou hast given me a south land; give me also springs of water. And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
Nodwoko niya, “Timna ngʼwono makende. Nimar isemiya puodho man Negev, miya bende thidhna mar pi.” Omiyo Kaleb nomiye thidhna ma malo kod mamwalo.
16 And the children of the Kenite, Moses’ father in law, went up out of the city of palm trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which lieth in the south of Arad; and they went and dwelt among the people.
Nyikwa jo-Keni ma jaduongʼ Musa, nodhi koa e Dala Maduongʼ mar Jeriko ka en gi jo-Juda mondo gidag e dier jogo mantiere e thim mar Juda man Negev but Arad.
17 And Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they slew the Canaanites that inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. And the name of the city was called Hormah.
Eka jo-Juda nodhi gi jo-Simeon mowetegi mi gimonjo jo-Kanaan modak Zefath, kendo negiketho dala maduongʼno chuth. Emomiyo noluonge ni Horma.
18 Also Judah took Gaza with its land, and Askelon with its land, and Ekron with its land.
Jo-Juda bende nokawo Gaza, Ashkelon kod Ekron, ka dala maduongʼ moro ka moro nigi gwengʼe.
19 And the LORD was with Judah; and he drove out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.
Jehova Nyasaye ne nigi jo-Juda. Negikawo piny gode, to ne ok ginyal riembo joma ne odak e piny pewe, nikech ne gin-gi geche mag chuma.
20 And they gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses said: and he drove out from there the three sons of Anak.
Kaka Musa ne osesingo, Hebron nomi Kaleb, mane oriembo yawuot Anak adek.
21 And the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites that inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.
Jo-Benjamin, kata kamano, ne ok nyal loyo jo-Jebus, mane odak Jerusalem; nyaka kawuononi jo-Jebus pod odak kanyo gi jo-Benjamin.
22 And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Bethel: and the LORD was with them.
Koro od Josef nomonjo Bethel, kendo Jehova Nyasaye ne ni kode.
23 And the house of Joseph sent to spy out Bethel. (Now the name of the city before was Luz.)
Kane gioro ji mondo onon Bethel (machon yande iluongo ni Luz),
24 And the spies saw a man coming out of the city, and they said to him, Show us, we pray thee, the entrance into the city, and we will show thee mercy.
jonon pinygo noneno ngʼato ka wuok e dala maduongʼ kendo negiwachone niya, “Kinyiswa e yo midonjogo e dala cha to ok wabi yie mondo gimoro otimi.”
25 And when he showed them the entrance into the city, they smote the city with the edge of the sword; but they let go the man and all his family.
Omiyo nonyisogi, kendo neginego ji duto mane ni e dala maduongʼno gi ligangla makmana ngʼat cha gi joge duto ema notony.
26 And the man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a city, and called the name of it Luz: which is its name to this day.
Eka nodhi e piny jo-Hiti, kama nogeroe dala maduongʼ mi ochake ni Luz, ma mano e nyinge nyaka chil kawuono.
27 Neither did Manasseh drive out the inhabitants of Bethshean 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.
To Manase ne ok oriembo jo-Beth Shan kata Tanak kata Dor kata Ibleam kata Megido kod alwora mar kuonde dak-gi, nimar jo-Kanaan noramo ni nyaka gidag e pinyno.
28 And it came to pass, when Israel was strong, that they subjected the Canaanites to forced labour, and did not utterly drive them out.
Kane jo-Israel osebedo motegno, negiloko jo-Kanaan wasumbinigi kendo ne ok giriembogi kata matin.
29 Neither did Ephraim drive out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.
Kata jo-Efraim bende ne ok oriembo jo-Kanaan modak Gezer, to jo-Kanaan ne odhi nyime gidak e diergi.
30 Neither did Zebulun drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became forced labourers.
Jo-Zebulun bende ne ok oriembo jo-Kanaan mane odak Kitron kata Nahahol, mane odongʼ e diergi; to ne gilokogi wasumbinigi.
31 Neither did Asher drive out the inhabitants of Accho, nor the inhabitants of Zidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob:
Jo-Asher bende ne ok oriembo joma ne odak Ako, Sidon, Alab, Akzib, Helba, Afek, kod Rehob,
32 But the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: for they did not drive them out.
kamano jo-Asher nodhi nyime mana gidak gi jo-Kanaan kendo ne ok giriembogi.
33 Neither did Naphtali drive out the inhabitants of Bethshemesh, nor the inhabitants of Bethanath; but he dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: nevertheless the inhabitants of Bethshemesh and of Bethanath became forced labourers to them.
Jo-Naftali bende ne ok oriembo jogo mane odak Beth Shemesh kod Beth Anath, to negidak e dier jo-Kanaan mane weg pinyno kendo negiloko jogo mane odak Beth Shemesh kod Beth Anath wasumbinigi.
34 And the Amorites forced the children of Dan to the mountain: for they would not allow them to come down to the valley:
Jo-Amor nochoko jo-Dan kamoro achiel e piny gode, mane ok oyienigi mondo gibi mwalo e piny pewe.
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 forced labourers.
Kendo jo-Amor noramo ni nyaka gidag e Got Heres, Aijalon kod Shalbim, to ka teko mar od Josef nomedore, gin bende nolokgi wasumbini.
36 And the border of the Amorites was from the ascent to Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward.
Tongʼ mar jo-Amor nochakore Akrabim nyaka Sela kendo mokalo kanyo.
