Judges 1
1 After the death of Joshua, the children of Israel asked of the LORD, saying, “Who should go up for us first against the Canaanites, to fight against them?”
Erga Iyyaasuun duʼee booddee Israaʼeloonni, “Kanaʼaanota loluudhaaf eenyu dursee nuuf haa baʼu?” jedhanii Waaqayyoon gaafatan.
2 The LORD said, “Judah shall go up. Behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.”
Waaqayyos, “Yihuudaan dursee haa baʼu; kunoo, ani biyyattii dabarsee harka isaatti kenneera” jedhee deebiseef.
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.
Namoonni Yihuudaas obboloota isaanii ilmaan Simiʼooniin, “Kottaa gara lafa qooda keenyaatti Kanaʼaanota loluuf wajjin baanaa; nus gama keenyaan gara lafa qooda keessaniitti isin wajjin ni baanaa” jedhan. Kanaafuu namoonni Simiʼoon isaan wajjin baʼan.
4 Judah went up, and the LORD delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand. They struck ten thousand men in Bezek.
Yommuu Yihuudaan baʼettis Waaqayyo Kanaʼaanotaa fi Feerzota dabarsee harka isaaniitti kenne; isaanis iddoo Bezeq jedhamutti nama kuma kudhan fixan.
5 They found Adoni-Bezek in Bezek, and they fought against him. They struck the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
Achittis Adoonii-Bezeq arganii isa lolan; Kanaʼaanotaa fi Feerzotas moʼatan.
6 But Adoni-Bezek fled. They pursued him, caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his big toes.
Adoonii-Bezeq achii baqate; isaan garuu ariʼanii isa qaban; quba abbuudduu harkaatii fi quba abbuudduu miilla isaa irraa kutan.
7 Adoni-Bezek said, “Seventy kings, having their thumbs and their big toes cut off, scavenged under my table. As I have done, so God has done to me.” They brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
Ergasiis Adoonii-Bezeq, “Mootonni qubni abbuudduun harka isaaniitii fi qubni abbuudduun miilla isaanii irraa cirame torbaatamni waan maaddii koo jalatti harcaʼe funaannachaa turan. Amma garuu Waaqni waanuma ani isaanitti hojjedhe naa deebise” jedhe. Isaanis Yerusaalemitti isa fidan; innis achitti duʼe.
8 The children of Judah fought against Jerusalem, took it, struck it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.
Namoonni Yihuudaa Yerusaalemiinis akkasuma dhaʼanii qabatan. Magaalattiis goraadeedhaan dhaʼanii ibidda itti qabsiisan.
9 After that, the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites who lived in the hill country, and in the South, and in the lowland.
Ergasiis namoonni Yihuudaa Kanaʼaanota biyya gaaraa, Negeebii fi gammoojjii karaa lixa biiftuu keessa jiraatan loluudhaaf gad buʼan.
10 Judah went against the Canaanites who lived in Hebron. (The name of Hebron before that was Kiriath Arba.) They struck Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.
Namoota Kanaʼaan kanneen Kebroon ishee dur Kiriyaati Arbaaq jedhamtu keessa jiraatanittis duulanii Sheeshaayiin, Ahiimanii fi Talmaayin moʼatan.
11 From there he went against the inhabitants of Debir. (The name of Debir before that was Kiriath Sepher.)
Achiis namoota biyya Debiir ishee dur Kiriyaati Seefer jedhamaa turte sana keessa jiraatanitti duulan.
12 Caleb said, “I will give Achsah my daughter as wife to the man who strikes Kiriath Sepher, and takes it.”
Kaalebis, “Ani nama Kiriyaati Seefer lolee qabatutti intala koo Aaksaa nan heerumsiisa” jedhe.
13 Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, took it, so he gave him Achsah his daughter as his wife.
Obboleessi Kaaleb quxisuun, Otniiʼeel ilmi Qenaz magaalattii qabate; Kaalebis intala isaa Aaksaa isatti heerumsiise.
14 When she came, she got him to ask her father for a field. She got off her donkey; and Caleb said to her, “What would you like?”
Isheenis yeroo gara Otniiʼeel dhuftetti, akka inni abbaa ishee lafa qotiisaa kadhatu isa kakaafte. Kaalebis yommuu isheen harree ishee irraa buutetti, “Ani maal siif godhu?” jedhee ishee gaafate.
15 She said to him, “Give me a blessing; because you have set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water.” Then Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
Isheenis deebiftee, “Waan addaa tokko naa godhi. Akkuma Negeeb keessatti lafa naa kennite sana burqaawwan bishaaniis naa kenni” jetteen. Kaalebis burqaawwan oliitii fi gadii kenneef.
16 The children of the Kenite, Moses’ brother-in-law, went up out of the city of palm trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which is in the south of Arad; and they went and lived with the people.
Sanyiiwwan Qeenii namicha abbaa niitii Musee sanaa namoota gammoojjii Yihuudaa keessa Negeeb ishee Aaraad biratti argamtu keessa jiraatan gidduu jiraachuuf jedhanii namoota Yihuudaa wajjin Magaalaa Meexxiitii ol baʼan.
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.
Namoonni Yihuudaa obboloota isaanii ilmaan Simiʼoon wajjin dhaqanii Kanaʼaanota Zefaati keessa jiraatan waraanan; magaalattiis guutumaan guutuutti barbadeessan. Kanaafuu magaalattiin Hormaa jedhamtee waamamte.
18 Also Judah took Gaza with its border, and Ashkelon with its border, and Ekron with its border.
Akkasumas namoonni Yihuudaa Gaazaa gandoota naannoo ishee wajjin, Ashqaloon gandoota naannoo ishee wajjin, Eqroon naannoo ishee wajjin qabatan.
19 The LORD 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.
Waaqayyo namoota Yihuudaa wajjin ture. Kanaafuu isaan biyya gaaraa sana qabatan; garuu sababii namoonni dirree irra jiraatan gaariiwwan sibiilaa qabaniif achii isaan baasuu hin dandeenye.
20 They gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had said, and he drove the three sons of Anak out of there.
Akkuma Museen abdachiisee turetti Kebroon Kaalebiif kennamte; innis ilmaan Anaaq sadan achii ariʼee baase.
21 The children of Benjamin didn’t drive out the Jebusites who inhabited Jerusalem, but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.
Ijoolleen Beniyaam garuu Yebuusota Yerusaalem keessa jiraachaa turan sana achii baasuu hin dandeenye; hamma ammaatti Yebuusonni Beniyaamota wajjin iddoo sana jiraatan.
22 The house of Joseph also went up against Bethel, and the LORD was with them.
Gosti Yoosef immoo Beetʼeel waraanan; Waaqayyos isaan wajjin ture.
23 The house of Joseph sent to spy out Bethel. (The name of the city before that was Luz.)
Yommuu isaan gara Beetʼeel ishee dur Luuzi jedhamtutti basaastota erganitti,
24 The watchers saw a man come out of the city, and they said to him, “Please show us the entrance into the city, and we will deal kindly with you.”
basaastonni sun namicha magaalaadhaa baʼee dhufu tokko arganii, “Karaa ittiin magaalaa seenan nu argisiisi; nus waan gaarii siif goona” jedhaniin.
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 and all his family go.
Innis itti argisiise; isaanis namicha sanaa fi maatii isaa guutuu dhiisanii magaalaa sana goraadeedhaan dhaʼan.
26 The man went into the land of the Hittites, built a city, and called its name Luz, which is its name to this day.
Namichis gara Heetotaa deemee magaalaa Loozaa jedhamtu hundeesse; isheenis hamma ammaatti Luuzi jedhamtee waamamti.
27 Manasseh didn’t 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.
Minaaseen garuu namoota Beet Sheʼaaniitii fi gandoota naannoo ishee yookaan Taʼanaakii fi gandoota naannoo ishee yookaan Doorii fi gandoota naannoo ishee yookaan Yibleʼaamii fi gandoota naannoo ishee yookaan Megidoo fi gandoota naannoo ishee jiraatan achii hin baafne; kanaafuu Kanaʼaanonni ittuma fufanii achi jiraachuuf murteeffatan.
28 When Israel had grown strong, they put the Canaanites to forced labour, and didn’t utterly drive them out.
Israaʼeloonni yommuu jabaachaa dhufanitti akka isaan hojii humnaa hojjetan isaan dirqisiisan malee Kanaʼaanota guutumaan guutuutti achii hin baafne.
29 Ephraim didn’t drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, but the Canaanites lived in Gezer amongst them.
Efreemis Kanaʼaanota Geezir keessa jiraatan achii hin baafne; Kanaʼaanonni garuu ittuma fufanii achuma isaan gidduu jiraatan.
30 Zebulun didn’t drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites lived amongst them, and became subject to forced labour.
Zebuuloonis Kanaʼaanota Qixroon yookaan Nahalol keessa jiraatan kanneen gidduu isaaniitti hafan hin baafne; garuu akka isaan hojii humnaa hojjetan godhan.
31 Asher didn’t 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;
Aasheeris warra Akoo yookaan Siidoon yookaan Ahilaab yookaan Akziib yookaan Helbaa yookaan Afiiqii fi Rehoob keessa jiraatan hin baafne;
32 but the Asherites lived amongst the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land, for they didn’t drive them out.
namoonni Aasheer sababii isaan jara ariʼanii hin baasiniif Kanaʼaanota biyya sana jiran gidduu jiraatan.
33 Naphtali didn’t drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh, nor the inhabitants of Beth Anath; but he lived amongst the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land. Nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh and of Beth Anath became subject to forced labour.
Niftaalem warra Beet Shemeshii fi Beet Anaati keessa jiraatan hin baafne; namoonni Niftaalem garuu Kanaʼaanota biyya sana turan gidduu jiraatan; warri Beet Shemeshii fi Beet Anaati dirqamsiifamanii hojii humnaa hojjechaafii turan.
34 The Amorites forced the children of Dan into the hill country, for they would not allow them to come down to the valley;
Amooronni immoo warra Daan gara biyya gaaraatti dhiiban malee akka isaan sululatti gad buʼan hin eeyyamneef ture.
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 labour.
Amooronnis itti fufanii Tulluu Herees irra, Ayaaloonii fi Shaʼalbiim keessa jiraatan; garuu yommuu humni mana Yoosef jabaachaa dhufetti isaanis hojii humnaa isaanii hojjechuuf dirqisiifaman.
36 The border of the Amorites was from the ascent of Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward.
Daariin Amoorotaa Aqrabiimii jalqabee karaa Seelaatiin ol baʼa ture.
