Mwet Nununku 1

1 Tukun misa lal Joshua, mwet Israel elos siyuk sin LEUM GOD, “Su inmasrlon sruf inge ac tufah fahsr meet in mweun lain mwet Canaan?”

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?

2 Ac LEUM GOD El topuk, “Sruf lal Judah pa ac fahsr meet. Nga ac sang tuh in elos pa nununku acn we.”

And the LORD said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.

3 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

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.

4 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.

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.

5 Elos konalak Adonibezek ingo ac mweunel.

And they found Adoni-bezek in Bezek: and they fought against him, and they slew the Canaanites and the Perizzites.

6 El kaingla, tusruktu elos ukwal nwe sruokilya ac pakela kuf lulap ke paol ac ke nial ah kewa.

But Adoni-bezek fled; and they pursued him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.

7 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.

And Adoni-bezek 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 requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died.

8 Mwet in sruf lal Judah elos mweuni acn Jerusalem ac sruokya. Elos uniya mwet we, ac esukak siti sac.

(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.)

9 Tukun ma inge elos som mweuni mwet Canaan su muta fineol uh ac pe eol uh ac acn mwesis nu eir.

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.

10 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.

And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron: (now the name of Hebron before [was] Kirjath-arba: ) and they slew Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.

11 Tukun ma inge, mwet in sruf lal Judah elos som ac mweuni siti Debir, su pangpang Kiriath Sepher in pacl sac.

And from thence he went against the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before [was] Kirjath-sepher:

12 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.”

And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjath-sepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter for a wife.

13 Othniel, wen natul Kenaz su tamulel fusr wial Caleb, el kutangla acn Debir, na Caleb el eisalang Achsah tuh elan mutan kial.

And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter for a wife.

14 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.

And it came to pass, when she came [to him], that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she lighted from off [her] ass; and Caleb said to her, What wilt thou?

15 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.

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 nether springs.

16 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.

And the children of the Kenite, Moses's 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.

17 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.

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.

18 Mwet Judah elos sruokya acn Gaza ac Ashkelon ac Ekron wi acn nukewa ma oan raunela acn inge.

Also Judah took Gaza with its border, and Askelon with its border, and Ekron with its border.

19 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.

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.

20 In oana ma Moses el tuh sapkin ah, acn Hebron tuh itukyang lal Caleb su tuh lusak sou tolu natul Anak ah.

And they gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses said: and he expelled thence the three sons of Anak.

21 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.

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.

22 Sruf lal Ephraim ac sruf lal Manasseh elos som ac lain acn Bethel, ac LEUM GOD El welulos.

And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Beth-el: and the LORD [was] with them.

23 Elos supwala mwet kalngeyuk nu Bethel (inen siti sacn meet pa Luz).

And the house of Joseph sent to explore Beth-el. Now the name of the city before [was] Luz.

24 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.”

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.

25 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.

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.

26 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.

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.

27 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.

Neither did Manasseh expel [the inhabitants of] Beth-shean and its towns, nor Tanach 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.

28 Ke mwet Israel elos kui, na elos sang orekma na upa nu sin mwet Canaan inge, tusruktu elos tiana luselosla.

And it came to pass when Israel was strong, that they subjected the Canaanites to tribute, and did not utterly expel them.

Neither did Zebulun expel the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became tributaries.

Neither did Asher expel the inhabitants of Accho, nor the inhabitants of Zidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob:

But the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: for they did not expel them.

And the Amorites forced the children of Dan to the mountain: for they would not suffer them to come down to the valley:

35 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.

But the Amorites would dwell in mount Heres in Ajalon, and in Shaalbim: yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, so that they became tributaries.

And the border of the Amorites [was] from the ascent to Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward.
