And it came to pass after the death of Joshua, that the children of Israel enquired of the Lord, saying, Who shall go up for us first against the Chananites, 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, Judas shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.

And Judas said to his brother Symeon, Come up with me into my lot, and let us array ourselves against the Chananites, and I also will go with you into your lot: and Symeon went with him.

And Judas went up; and the Lord delivered the Chananite and the Pherezite into their hands, and they struck them in Bezek to [the number of] ten thousand men.
5 Elos konalak Adonibezek ingo ac mweunel.
And they overtook Adonibezek in Bezek, and fought against him; and they struck the Chananite and the Pherezite.

And Adonibezek fled, and they pursued after him, and took him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.

And Adonibezek said, Seventy kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered [their food] under my table: as I therefore have done, so God has recompensed me: and they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.

And the children of Judas fought against Jerusalem, and took it, and struck with the edge of the sword, and they burnt the city with fire.

And afterwards the children of Judas went down to fight with the Chananite dwelling in the hill country, and the south, and the plain country.

And they went up thence to the inhabitants of Dabir; but the name of Dabir was before Cariathsepher, the city of Letters.

And Chaleb said, Whosoever shall strike the city of Letters, and shall first take it, I will give to him Ascha my daughter to wife.

And Gothoniel the younger son of Kenez the brother of Chaleb took it; and Chaleb gave him his daughter Ascha to wife.

And it came to pass as she went in, that Gothoniel urged her to ask a field of her father; and she murmured and cried from off her ass, You have sent me forth into a south land: and Chaleb said to her, What is your request?
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 Ascha said to him, Give me, I pray you, a blessing, for you have sent me forth into a south land, and you shall give me the ransom of water: and Chaleb gave her according to her heart the ransom of the upper [springs] and the ransom of the low [springs].

But Judas did not inherit Gaza nor her coasts, nor Ascalon nor her coasts, nor Accaron nor her coasts, [nor] Azotus nor the lands around it.
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 Judas, and he inherited the mountain; for they were not able to destroy the inhabitants of the valley, for Rechab prevented them.

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 looked, and behold, a man went out of the city, and they took him; and they said to him, Show us the way into the city, and we will deal mercifully with you.
