After Joshua died, the Israeli people asked Yahweh, “Which [of our tribes] should attack the Canaan people-group first?”

2 Hu'za hazageno, Ra Anumzamo'a kenona amanage huno zamasami'ne, Antahiho, Nagra ko' ana mopa Juda naga zami'noanki zamagra mareri'za Kenani vahera hara ome huzmantegahaze.

Yahweh replied, “I will enable the tribe of Judah to defeat [IDM] the Canaan people-group.”

3 Anante Juda naga'mo'za nezmafu Simioni nagakura amanage hu'za zmasami'naze, eta eme taza hinketa tagri'ma hurante'nea mopafima mani'naza Kenani vahera hara ome huta zamaheteta, ete tamagrira tamaza hanunketa tamagri mopafima mani'naza vahera hara huta zamahegahaze. E'inage hazageno Simioni naga'mo'za Juda naga'ene vu'naze.

The men of Judah went to their fellow Israelis, [the men] from the tribe of Simeon, and said to them, “Come and help us to fight the Canaan people-group [in order that we can take from them] the land [that Yahweh] allotted to us. If you do that, we will go with you [and help you] conquer the people in the land [that Yahweh promised to give to] you.” So the men from the tribe of Simeon went with the men of the tribe of Judah.

4 Hagi Juda naga'mo'za mareri'za hara ome hazageno, Ra Anumzamo'a Kenani vahe'ene Peresi vahe'enena Juda naga'mofo zamazampi zamavarentege'za 10 tauseni'a vahe Beseki kumapina ome zamahe'naze.

When the men of those two tribes attacked, Yahweh enabled them to defeat 10,000 men of the Canaan people-group and the Periz people-group [DOU] at Bezek [city].

5 Ana Beseki kumapi Adoni-Bezekina ke'za erifore hu'za, agri'ene Kenani vahe'ene Perisi vahe'enena hara huzmagatere'naze.

During the battle they found Adoni-Bezek, the leader of the city,

6 Hianagi Adoni-Beseki'a nefrege'za rotago hu'za ome azeri'za azafa azantrena tarega kazigatira runekafriza, tare agafa agiararena rukafri'naze.

but he [tried to] run away. The Israelis pursued him and caught him. Then they cut off his thumbs and his big toes.

7 Ana'ma hazageno'a Adoni-Beseki'a amanage hu'ne, nagra 70'a kini vahe'mokizmia zamazafa zamazane, zamagiafa zamagiane akafruge'za, ne'zama nenoa itamofo fenka kaziga mani'ne'za, ankrahe'a zogi'za ne'naze. E'inama hu'noa avu'ava zante menina Anumzamo'a mizana namie. Anage hutege'za avre'za Jerusalemi vazageno anantega ufri'ne.

Adoni-Bezek said, “[My army captured] 70 kings. We cut off their thumbs and big toes. After that, [we forced] those kings to eat scraps that fell from our table. Now God has (paid me back for/done to me like) [what we did to them].” Then the men of Judah took Adoni-Bezek to Jerusalem, and he died there.

8 Hagi Juda naga'mo'za Jerusalemi vahera bainati kazinteti zamahe frivaganere'za, ana kumara teve taginte'naze.

The army of Judah fought against the men of Jerusalem, and they captured the city. With their swords they killed [the people who lived there] and they burned [the houses in] the city.

9 Hagi ana'ma hute'za Juda naga'mo'za urami'za, Kenani vahe'ma agonafine Negevine, agupo mopafinema nemaniza vahera hara ome huzmante'naze.

Later, the men of Judah went down to fight the Canaan people-group who lived in the hilly area, in the desert to the south, and in the foothills [to the west].

The men of Judah also went to fight against the Canaan people-group who lived in Hebron [city], which at that time was named Kiriath-Arba. They defeated [the armies of kings] Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.

11 Hagi anantetira vu'za Debirima nemaniza vahetmina hara ome huzamante'naze. Debiri kumamofo agi'a korapara Kiriat-Sefa hu'za nehazane.

Then they left that area and went to fight against the people living in Debir [city], which was previously named Kiriath-Sepher.

12 Hagi Kalepi'a amanage hu'ne, iza'o Kiriat-Sefa vahe'ma ha'ma huzamanteno ana kumama erisimofona mofa'ni'a Aksana ami'nenkeno ara erigahie.

[Before they attacked the city], Caleb said to them, “If one of you attacks and captures Kiriath-Sepher, I will allow him to marry my daughter.”

13 Anagema higeno'a, Kalepi negna Kenazi nemofo Otnieli ana vahera ha'huzmanteno ana kumara erigeno, Kalepi'a mofa'a Aksana amigeno Otnieli'a ara erinte'ne.

Othniel, who was the son of Caleb’s younger brother Kenaz, captured the city. So Caleb gave his daughter Acsah to him, to become his wife.

14 Hagi Aksa'ma Otnielinte'ma ne-eno'a amanage huno asami'ne, nenfa Kalepina antahigegeno mopa kamino huno hu'ne. Hagi Aksama donki agumpinti'ma taka'uma neregeno'a, Kalepi'a amanage huno antahige'ne, na'anku kave'nesie?

When Acsah married Othniel, she told him to ask her father to give him a field. [But she decided to ask him herself. She rode to Caleb’s house on her donkey], and when she got off the donkey, Caleb [could see that something was troubling her. So he] asked her, “What do you want?”

15 Higeno Aksa'a kenona amanage hu'ne, asomu hunantenka Negevi mopa ko nami'nananki, kampu'i tima nehanatia tintaminena musezana namio, higeno Kalepi'a anagamu kaziga me'nea kampui tine, fenkma kaziga me'nea kampu'i tinena ami'ne.

She replied, “I want you to do a favor for me. You have given me some land in the southern desert, [but it is very dry there]. So please also give me some [land that has] springs of water.” So Caleb gave her some land on higher ground that had a spring, and some land on lower ground that also had a spring.

16 Hanki Kenazi vahera Mosese nenemo nagaki'za Juda naga'mo'zama tofegna zafamo hu'nea Jeriko kumara atre'za nevazage'za, zamagrane magoka vu'za Juda vahe'ma hagege kokampi, Arad tava'onte Negevi nemaniza vahe'ene umani'naze.

The people of the Ken people-group who were descendants of Moses’ father-in-law left Jericho, which was called ‘The City of Palm Trees’. They went with some of the men of Judah to live with them in the southern desert area, near Arad [city].

17 Hagi Juda naga'mo'za zamafuhe'i Simioni naga'ene vu'za, Sefatima nemaniza Kenani vahera ome zamahe vaganere'za ana rankuma'zmia eri haviza hutre'naze. E'ina hu'negu ana kuma'mofo agi'a Home hu'za agia nehaze.

The men of Judah and their fellow Israelis from the tribe of Simeon defeated the people of the Canaan people-group who lived in Zephath [city]. They completely destroyed the city and gave it a new name, Hormah, [which means ‘complete destruction’].

18 Hagi Juda naga'mo'zama mago'a kuma'enema ha'ma hu'za eri'nazana, Gaza rankumaki, Askeloni rankumaki, Ekroni rankuma'ene megagi'nea mopazminena zamahe'za hanare'naze.

The men of Judah also captured Gaza, Ashkelon, and Ekron [cities] and all the land that is near those cities.

Yahweh helped the men of Judah to capture the hilly area, but they could not force the people who were living in the plains to leave, because [those people had better weapons—] had iron chariots.

20 Hagi Mosese'ma huvempama huzmante'nea kante ante'za Juda naga'mo'za Hebroni mopa Kalepi ami'naze. Ana hazageno Kalepi'a 3'a Anaki mofavreramina ana mopafima nemanizana zamahenati atre'ne.

Hebron [city] was given to Caleb because Moses had promised him that he could have that city. And Caleb forced the three clans descended from Anak to leave that area.

21 Hianagi Benzameni naga'mo'za Jebusi vahe'ma Jerusalemima mani'naza vahera zamahenati otre'naze. E'ina hazageno Jebusi vahe'mo'za Benzameni naga'ene Jerusalemia meninena mani'naze.

But the people of the tribe of Benjamin could not force the people of the Jebus people-group to leave Jerusalem. So, since that time the people of the Jebus people-group have lived in Jerusalem with the people of the tribe of Benjamin.

22 Hagi anahukna huno Ra Anumzamo'a Josefe naga'ene mani'nege'za mareri'za Beteli vahera hara ome huzamante'naze.

The men of the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh went to fight against [the men of] Bethel [city], and Yahweh helped them.

23 Hagi Josefe naga'mo'za afure venenerami huzmantage'za vu'za Beteli kumakura kora Lusie nehaza kumara ome afure'za ke'naze.

They sent some spies to [find out everything that they could find out about] Bethel, which was previously called Luz.

24 Anama afure'za kenaku'ma vu'naza vene'nemo'za mago ne' ana kumapintira atiramino ne-ege'za amanage hu'za asami'naze, muse hugantonanki ama kumapima ufre kana taveri huo, ana'ma hananketa kagrira kazeri havizana osugahune.

The spies saw a man who was coming out of the city. They said to him, “If you show us a way to get into the city, we will be kind to you [and we will not kill you].”

25 Anagema hazageno'a, ana kumapima ufre kana zamaveri hutege'za, ana kumapi ufre'za ana maka vahera bainati kazinteti zamahe vagare'naze. Hianagi kama zamaveri'ma hu'nea ne'ene naga'anena ozamahe, zamatrage'za so'e hu'za mani'naze.

So the man showed them a way to enter the city. The men of the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh entered the city and killed all the people with their swords, but they did not kill the man [who showed them how to get into the city], and they did not kill his family.

26 Hagi anama ohe'ma atraza ne'mo'a Hiti vahe mopafi vuno, mago rankuma omegino ana kuma'mofo agi'a Lusie huno antemi'ne. Ana knareti'ma eno menima e'neana ana agige'za nehaze.

That man went to the area where the descendants of Heth lived, and built a city. He named the city Luz, and that is still the name of that city.

There were people of the Canaan people-group who lived in Beth-Shan, Taanach, Dor, Ibleam, and Megiddo [cities] and in the surrounding villages. [The men of] the tribe of Manasseh did not force those people to leave those towns, because the people of the Canaan people-group were determined to stay there.

28 Israeli vahe'mo'zama ome hankavemaneti'za Kenani vahetmina zamahenati atrevaga ore'nazanki, kazokazo eri'za vahe zamavrazage'za, kazokazo eri'za vahezmi mani'naze.

31 Hagi Ako kumapine, Saidoni kumapine, Alapu kumapine, Aksipi kumapine, Helba kumapine, Afeki kumapine, Rehopu kumapinema nemaniza Kenani vahera Aseli naga'mo'za zamahenati otre'za zamatrage'za zamagrane magopi mani'naze.
