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?”
Tukun misa lal Joshua, mwet Israel elos siyuk sin LEUM GOD, “Su inmasrlon sruf inge ac tufah fahsr meet in mweun lain mwet Canaan?”
2 The LORD said, “Judah shall go up. Behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.”
Ac LEUM GOD El topuk, “Sruf lal Judah pa ac fahsr meet. Nga ac sang tuh in elos pa nununku acn we.”
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.
Mwet in sruf lal Judah elos fahk nu sin mwet in sruf lal Simeon, “Fahsru wi kut som nu in acn se ituku nu sesr, kut tukeni mweuni mwet Canaan, na kut fah wi kowos pac nu ke acn se itukot nu suwos.” Na sruf lal Simeon
4 Judah went up, and the LORD delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand. They struck ten thousand men in Bezek.
ac sruf lal Judah elos tukeni som mweun. LEUM GOD El sang kutangla nu selos fin mwet Canaan ac mwet Periz, ac oayapa elos kutangla singoul tausin mwet in acn Bezek.
5 They found Adoni-Bezek in Bezek, and they fought against him. They struck the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
Elos konalak Adonibezek ingo ac mweunel.
6 But Adoni-Bezek fled. They pursued him, caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his big toes.
El kaingla, tusruktu elos ukwal nwe sruokilya ac pakela kuf lulap ke paol ac ke nial ah kewa.
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.
Ac Adonibezek el fahk, “Tokosra itngoul su kufla kuf lulap ke paolos ac nialos, elos tuh eis kutkut in mongo ye tepu luk. Na pa inge God El furokma nu sik ma nga tuh oru nu selos.” Ac elos usalla nu Jerusalem ac el misa we.
8 The children of Judah fought against Jerusalem, took it, struck it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.
Mwet in sruf lal Judah elos mweuni acn Jerusalem ac sruokya. Elos uniya mwet we, ac esukak siti sac.
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.
Tukun ma inge elos som mweuni mwet Canaan su muta fineol uh ac pe eol uh ac acn mwesis nu eir.
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.
Elos fahsryak lain mwet Canaan su muta in siti se pangpang Hebron, su mwet meet ah pangon Kiriath Arba. Elos kutangla ota tolu inge: Sheshai, Ahiman, ac Talmai.
11 From there he went against the inhabitants of Debir. (The name of Debir before that was Kiriath Sepher.)
Tukun ma inge, mwet in sruf lal Judah elos som ac mweuni siti Debir, su pangpang Kiriath Sepher in pacl sac.
12 Caleb said, “I will give Achsah my daughter as wife to the man who strikes Kiriath Sepher, and takes it.”
Sie sin mwet ingan, su pangpang Caleb, el fahk, “Nga ac elsalang Achsah, acn se nutik, tuh elan payuk nu sin mukul se ma ac sruokya siti Kiriath Sepher.”
13 Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, took it, so he gave him Achsah his daughter as his wife.
Othniel, wen natul Kenaz su tamulel fusr wial Caleb, el kutangla acn Debir, na Caleb el eisalang Achsah tuh elan mutan kial.
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?”
In len in marut laltal ah, Othniel el kwafe sel Achsah elan siyuk sin papa tumal ah ke sie ipin acn. Na ke Achsah el fani liki donkey natul, Caleb el siyuk sel lah oasr ma el lungse.
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.
Na Achsah el fahk, “Nga lungse kutu luf in kof. Acn ma kom ase luk meet ah acn na pao.” Na Caleb el sang lal unon in kof su oan lucng ac ten in acn Gulloth.
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.
Mwet Ken, su sou lun papa tumun mutan kial Moses, elos wi mwet Judah som liki acn Jericho, siti in sak palm, nu yen mwesis nu eir, su oan sisken acn Arad in Judah. Ingo elos oakwuki muta inmasrlon mwet Amalek.
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.
Mwet Judah elos wi mwet Simeon som mweuni mwet Canaan su muta in siti Zephath. Elos selngawiya siti sac, ac kunausla, ac sang inen acn sac Hormah.
18 Also Judah took Gaza with its border, and Ashkelon with its border, and Ekron with its border.
Mwet Judah elos sruokya acn Gaza ac Ashkelon ac Ekron wi acn nukewa ma oan raunela acn inge.
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.
LEUM GOD El kasrelos mwet Judah, ac elos sruokya acn fineol uh, tusruktu elos koflana lusak mwet ma muta acn tupasrpasr, mweyen oasr chariot osra natulos.
20 They gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had said, and he drove the three sons of Anak out of there.
In oana ma Moses el tuh sapkin ah, acn Hebron tuh itukyang lal Caleb su tuh lusak sou tolu natul Anak ah.
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.
Tusruktu mwet in sruf lal Benjamin elos tuh tiana lusak mwet Jebus ma muta Jerusalem, oru mwet Jebus inge srakna muta inmasrlon sruf lal Benjamin nwe misenge.
22 The house of Joseph also went up against Bethel, and the LORD was with them.
Sruf lal Ephraim ac sruf lal Manasseh elos som ac lain acn Bethel, ac LEUM GOD El welulos.
23 The house of Joseph sent to spy out Bethel. (The name of the city before that was Luz.)
Elos supwala mwet kalngeyuk nu Bethel (inen siti sacn meet pa Luz).
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.”
Ac ke mwet kalngeyuk inge liye sie mwet illa liki siti uh, elos fahk nu sel, “Fahkma nu sesr lah kut ac utyak fuka nu in siti uh, na kut ac kulang nu sum.”
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.
Na mwet sac fahkang nu selos, na mwet Ephraim ac mwet Manasseh inge elos uniya mwet nukewa in siti sac sayen mwet se ma kasrelos ah ac sou lal ah.
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.
Tok mwet sac som nu in acn sin mwet Hit ac musaeak siti se we, ac pangon acn sac Luz. Srakna pangpang acn sac Luz nwe misenge.
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.
Sruf lal Manasseh tuh tiana lusak mwet ma muta in siti Beth Shan, Taanach, Dor, Ibleam, Megiddo, ac acn ma oan apkuran nu in acn inge. Oru mwet Canaan elos mutana in facl sac.
28 When Israel had grown strong, they put the Canaanites to forced labour, and didn’t utterly drive them out.
Ke mwet Israel elos kui, na elos sang orekma na upa nu sin mwet Canaan inge, tusruktu elos tiana luselosla.
29 Ephraim didn’t drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, but the Canaanites lived in Gezer amongst them.
Sruf lal Ephraim elos tiana lusak mwet Canaan su muta in siti Gezer, oru mwet inge elos mutana inmasrlolos.
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.
Sruf lal Zebulun tuh tiana lusak mwet muta in siti Kitron ac Nahalal, oru mwet Canaan inge elos srak pacna mutana inmasrlolos, tusruktu akkohsyeyuk elos in orekma nu sin mwet Zebulun.
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;
Sruf lal Asher tuh tiana lusla mwet muta in siti Acco, Sidon, Ahlab, Achzib, Helbah, Aphek, ac Rehob.
32 but the Asherites lived amongst the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land, for they didn’t drive them out.
Mwet ke sruf lal Asher elos tuh wi na mwet Canaan inge muta, ke sripen elos tiana luselosla.
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.
Sruf lal Naphtali tiana lusla mwet ma muta in siti Beth Shemesh ac Bethanath. Mwet Naphtali inge wi na mwet Canaan inge muta, tusruktu elos akkohsyelos in orekma nu selos.
34 The Amorites forced the children of Dan into the hill country, for they would not allow them to come down to the valley;
Mwet Amor elos lusak mwet in sruf lal Dan nu fineol uh, ac tia lela elos in tuku nu yen tupasrpasr uh.
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.
Mwet Amor elos mutana in Aijalon, Shaalbim, ac Fineol Heres, tusruktu sruf lal Ephraim ac Manasseh elos leum faclos ac akkohsyelos in orekma nu selos.
36 The border of the Amorites was from the ascent of Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward.
Masrol ke acn Edom ac Ephraim mutawauk ke acn Sela fahsryak nu epang ac sasla ke Innek In Utyak Nu Akrabbim.
