And it came to pass after the death of Joshua that the children of Israel asked Jehovah, saying, Which of us shall go up against the Canaanites first, to fight against them?
2 Onyenwe anyị zara, “Ọ bụ ebo Juda. Enyefeela m ala ahụ nʼaka ha.”
And Jehovah said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.

And Judah said to Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my lot, and let us fight against the Canaanites, and I likewise will go with thee into thy lot; and Simeon went with him.
4 Mgbe Juda busoro ha agha, Onyenwe anyị nyefere ndị Kenan, na ndị Periz nʼaka ha, mee ka ha gbuo puku ndị agha iri nʼime obodo Bezek.
And Judah went up; and Jehovah delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand, and they smote them in Bezek, ten thousand men.
5 Nʼebe ahụ ka ha zutere Adoni-Bezek, buso ya agha, tigbukwaa ndị Kenan na ndị Periz.
And they found Adoni-Bezek in Bezek, and fought against him, and they smote the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
6 Ma Adoni-Bezek gbapụrụ ọsọ zoo onwe ya, ma ha chụgidere ya, jide ya, gbupụ ya isi mkpụrụ aka ya abụọ na isi mkpụrụ ụkwụ ya abụọ.
And Adoni-Bezek fled, and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.
7 Mgbe ahụ, Adoni-Bezek sịrị, “Iri ndị eze asaa ka m mesoro ụdị mmeso a unu mesoro m, ọ bụkwa nri si na tebul m dapụ ka ha riri. Ugbu a Chineke akwụghachila m ụgwọ ọrụ ọjọọ m.” Ha kpụụrụ ya gaa Jerusalem, ebe ọ nọ nwụọ.
And Adoni-Bezek said, Seventy kings, with their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gleaned under my table: as I have done, so God has requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died.
8 Ndị Juda busoro obodo Jerusalem agha, were mma agha gbuchapụ mmadụ niile bi nʼime ya, ma gbaakwa obodo ahụ niile ọkụ.
And the children of Judah fought against Jerusalem, and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.

And afterwards the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites, that dwelt in the hill-country, and in the south, and in the lowland.
10 Ha jekwuru ndị Kenan bi nʼobodo Hebrọn (nke a na-akpọ Kiriat Aaba na mbụ) merie Sheshai, na Ahiman, na Talmai.
And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron — the name of Hebron before was Kirjath-Arba; and they slew Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai.
11 Site nʼebe ahụ, ha jekwuru ndị bi na Debịa (nke a na-akpọ Kiriat Sefa, nʼoge mbụ).
And from there he went against the inhabitants of Debir; now the name of Debir before was Kirjath-sepher.
12 Kaleb sịrị, “Nwoke ọbụla ga-aga busoo Kiriat Sefa agha ma merie ya ka m ga-akpọnye Aksa bụ nwa m nwanyị ka ọ bụrụ nwunye ya.”
And Caleb said, He that smites Kirjath-sepher and takes it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter as wife.

And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it; and he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife.
14 Otu ụbọchị, mgbe Aksa bịakwutere Otniel, ọ kwagidere ya ka ọ rịọọ ala ubi site nʼaka nna ya. Mgbe Aksa si nʼelu ịnyịnya ibu ya rịdata, Kaleb jụrụ ya sị, “Gịnị ka ị chọrọ ka m mere gị?”
And it came to pass as she came, that she urged him to ask of her father the field; and she sprang down from the ass. And Caleb said to her, What wouldest thou?
15 Ọ zaghachiri, “Nyem onyinye pụrụ iche. Ebe ọ bụ na i nyela m ala Negev, biko nyekwa m isi mmiri ụfọdụ.” Nʼihi nke a, Kaleb nyere ya isi mmiri mgbago na isi mmiri nke ndịda.
And she said to him, Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a southern land; give me also springs of water. And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
16 Ụmụnna nwunye Mosis, onye Ken, si nʼobodo nkwụ nkwụ soro ndị Juda, gaa biri nʼetiti ndị ahụ bi nʼọzara Juda, na Negev, nke dị nso nʼArad.
And the children of the Kenite, Moses' father-in-law, had gone 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 dwelt with the people.
17 Ndị ikom Juda sooro ndị ikom Simiọn, ụmụnna ha, lụso ndị Kenan bi na Zefat agha, bibie obodo ahụ kpamkpam. Nʼihi nke a, a gụgharịrị obodo ahụ, kpọọ ya Homa.
And Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they slew the Canaanites that inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it; and they called the name of the city Hormah.

And Judah took Gazah and its border, and Ashkelon and its border, and Ekron and its border.

And Jehovah was with Judah; and he took possession of the hill-country, for he did not dispossess the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.
20 E nyekwara Kaleb obodo Hebrọn, dịka Mosis kwere ya na nkwa. Kaleb chụpụrụ ụmụ Anak atọ site nʼala ahụ.
And they gave to Caleb Hebron, as Moses had said; and he dispossessed from thence the three sons of Anak.

23 Mgbe ha zipuru ndị ikom ịga nyochapụta obodo Betel, nke a na-akpọ Luz,
And the house of Joseph sent to search out Bethel; now the name of the city before was Luz.

And the guards saw a man come forth out of the city, and said unto him, Shew us, we pray thee, how [we] may enter into the city, and we will shew thee kindness.
25 Ya mere, nwoke ahụ gosiri ha ụzọ, ha ji mma agha gbuo mmadụ niile bi nʼime obodo ahụ, ma ha hapụrụ nwoke ahụ na ezinaụlọ ya ndụ.
And he shewed them how to enter into the city. And they smote the city with the edge of the sword; but they let go the man and all his family.
26 Emesịa, nwoke ahụ kpọọrọ ezinaụlọ ya gaa biri nʼala ndị Het wuoro onwe ya otu obodo nʼebe ahụ. Ọ kpọrọ aha obodo ahụ Luz, nke bụkwa aha obodo ahụ ruo taa.
And 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.

And it came to pass when Israel became strong, that they made the Canaanites tributary; but they did not utterly dispossess them.
29 Ifrem enwekwaghị ike chụpụ ndị Kenan bi na Gaza. Ndị Kenan gara nʼihu biri nʼetiti ha nʼebe ahụ.
And Ephraim did not dispossess the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt among them in Gezer.

Naphtali did not dispossess the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh, nor the inhabitants of Beth-anath; and he dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land, but the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and of Beth-anath became tributaries to them.
34 Ma banyere ndị ebo Dan, ndị Amọrait chụpụrụ ha chụba ha nʼelu ugwu. Ha ekwenyeghị ka ha rịdata na ndịda ugwu ahụ.
And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the hill-country, for they would not suffer them to come down to the valley.
