Judges 1
1 After the death of Josue the children of Israel consulted the Lord, saying: Who shall go up before us against the Chanaanite, and shall be the leader of the war?
Joshua a dueknah hnukah Israel ca rhoek loh BOEIPA te a dawt uh tih, “Ulae kaimih ham Kanaan taengla aka cet vetih a moecuek kah bangla anih te a vathoh thil lah ve,” a ti uh.
2 And the Lord said: Juda shall go up: behold I have delivered the land into his hands.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh, “Judah te cet saeh lamtah khohmuen he a kut ah ka paek tangtae coeng ni ke,” a ti nah.
3 And Juda said to Simeon his brother: Come up with me into my lot, and fight against the Chanaanite, that I also may go along with thee into thy lot. And Simeon went with him.
Te vaengah a manuca Simeon te, “Kai hmulung khuila kamah taengla ha luei lamtah Kanaan ke vathoh thil sih. Kai khaw nang hmulung kah khuikah nang taengah ka pongpa van eh,” a ti nah tih Simeon khaw anih taengla cet.
4 And Juda went up, and the Lord delivered the Chanaanite, and the Pherezite into their hands: and they slew of them in Bezec ten thousand men.
Judah a luei vaengah BOEIPA loh amih kut ah Kanaan neh Perizzi te a tloeng pah tih Bezek ah hlang thawng rha a tloek uh.
5 And they found Adonibezec in Bezec, and fought against him, and they defeated the Chanaanite, and the Pherezite.
Bezek ah Adonibezek te a hmuh uh tih anih te a tloek uh phoeiah Kanaan neh Perizzi te a tloek uh.
6 And Adonibezec fled: and they pursued after him and took him, and cut off his fingers and toes.
Adonibezek te rhaelrham van dae a hnukah a hloem uh tih a kae uh vaengah a kut a kho kah kutnu khonu te a tlueh pa uh.
7 And Adonibezec said: Seventy kings having their fingers and toes cut off, gathered up the leavings of the meat under my table: as I have done, so hath God requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
Te vaengah Adonibezek loh, “Manghai sawmrhih kut kho kah kutnu khonu ka tlueh pah tih ka caboei hmuikah cakdik aka rhut la om uh. Ka saii bangla Pathen loh kai taengah han thuung coeng,” a ti. Anih te Jerusalem la a khuen uh tih te ah te duek.
8 And the children of Juda besieging Jerusalem, took it, and put it to the sword, and set the whole city on fire.
Judah ca rhoek loh Jerusalem te a vathoh thil uh tih a buem uh. Cunghang ha neh a ngawn phoeiah khopuei te hmai ah a pup uh.
9 And afterwards they went down and fought against the Chanaanite, who dwelt in the mountains, and in the south, and in the plains.
Te phoeiah tlang neh tuithim kolrhawk kah aka om Kanaan te tloek ham Judah ca rhoek loh suntla uh.
10 And Juda going forward against the Chanaanite, that dwelt in Hebron (the name whereof was in former times Cariath-Arbe) slew Sesai, and Ahiman, and Tholmai:
Te phoeiah Hebron ah aka om Kanaan te khaw Judah loh a paan bal. Hebron kah a ming rhuem tah Kiriatharba ni. Te vaengah Sheshai, Ahiman neh Talmai te khaw a tloek uh.
11 And departing from thence he went to the inhabitants of Dabir, the ancient name of which was Cariath-Sepher, that is, the city of letters.
Te lamloh Debir kah khosa rhoek te a paan uh tih cet uh. Derbir kah a ming rhuem tah Kiriathsepher ni.
12 And Caleb said: He that shall take Cariath-Sepher, and lay it waste, to him will I give my daughter Axa to wife.
Te vaengah Kaleb loh, “Kiriathsepher aka tloek tih aka buem te tah ka canu Akcah te a yuu la ka paek ni,” a ti.
13 And Othoniel the son of Cenez, the younger brother of Caleb, having taken it, he gave him Axa his daughter to wife.
Te dongah Kaleb mana Kenaz capa Othniel loh a buem tih a canu Akcah te a yuu la a paek.
14 And as she was going on her way her husband admonished her to ask a field of her father. And as she sighed sitting on her ass, Caleb said to her: What aileth thee?
A yuu te ha pawk vaengah a napa taengkah khohmuen bih ham a va te a vueh. Te dongah laak dong lamkah a bit uh vanneh anih te Kaleb loh, “Nang ham balae kan saii eh,” a ti nah.
15 But she answered: Give me a blessing, for thou hast given me a dry land: give me also a watery land. So Caleb gave her the upper and the nether watery ground.
Te dongah a canu loh, “Kai ham khaw yoethennah nan suem vanbangla tuithim khohmuen ke kai m'pae mai lamtah tuidueh tui khaw kai ham nam paek mai mako,” a ti nah. Te dongah anih te Kaleb loh a siip tuidueh neh a hnawt tuidueh te a paek.
16 And the children of the Cinite, the kinsman of Moses, went up from the city of palms, with the children of Juda into the wilderness of his lot, which is at the south side of Arad, and they dwelt with him.
Rhophoe khopuei lamkah Moses masae Keni ca rhoek neh Arad tuithim Judah khosoek Judah ca rhoek tah luei uh tih pilnam taengah kho a sak uh.
17 And Juda went with Simeon his brother, and they together defeated the Chanaanites that dwelt in Sephaath, and slew them. And the name of the city was called Horma, that is, Anathema.
Te phoeiah Judah te a mana Simeon neh cet rhoi tih Zephath khosa rhoek Kanaan te a tloek rhoi. Khopuei te a thup tih khopuei ming khaw Hormah la a sak pah.
18 And Juda took Gaza with its confines, and Ascalon and Accaron with their confines.
Te vaengah Judah loh Gaza neh a khorhi, Ashkelon neh a khorhi, Ekron neh a khorhi te a loh.
19 And the Lord was with Juda, and he possessed the hill country: but was not able to destroy the inhabitants of the valley, because they had many chariots armed with scythes.
Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Judah a om puei tih tlang khaw a huul coeng dae kol kah khosa rhoek tah thi leng a khueh dongah haek thai pawh.
20 And they gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had said, who destroyed out of it the three sons of Enac.
Moses kah a thui bangla Hebron te Kaleb taengah a paek uh hatah te lamkah Anak ca rhoek pathum te vik a vai.
21 But the sons of Benjamin did not destroy the Jebusites that inhabited Jerusalem: and the Jebusite hath dwelt with the sons of Benjamin in Jerusalem until this present day.
Jerusalem kah khosa Jebusi te tah Benjamin ca rhoek loh ana haek pawt dongah tihnin due Jerusalem kah Benjamin ca rhoek taengah Jebusi loh kho a sak.
22 The house of Joseph also went up against Bethel, and the Lord was with them.
Joseph imko loh Bethel a paan uh vaengah khaw amih te BOEIPA loh a om puei.
23 For when they were besieging the city, which before was called Luza,
Lamhma a ming Luz khopuei la aka om Bethel te Joseph imko loh a yaam uh.
24 They saw a man coming out of the city, and they said to him: Shew us the entrance into the city, and we will shew thee mercy.
Te vaengah kho khui lamkah aka lo hlang pakhat te longyam rhoek loh a hmuh uh tih, “Khopuei khuirhai te kaimih n'tueng dae, nang taengah sitlohnah ka saii uh van bitni,” a ti nah.
25 And when he had shewn them, they smote the city with the edge of the sword: but that man and all his kindred they let go:
Te dongah amih te khopuei vongrhai a tueng tih khopuei te cunghang ha neh a tloek uh. Tedae hlang pakhat neh a imkhui pum te tah a loeih sak uh.
26 Who being sent away, went into the land of Hethim, and built there a city, and called it Luza: which is so called until this day.
Te dongah hlang pakhat te Khitti kho la cet tih kho a thoong. Tekah kho ming te Luz la ana khue dongah tihnin due anih ming la om.
27 Manasses also did not destroy Bethsan, and Thanac with their villages, nor the inhabitants of Dor, and Jeblaam, and Mageddo with their villages. And the Chanaanite began to dwell with them.
Bethshan neh a khobuel rhoek, Taanakh neh a khobuel rhoek, Dore kah aka om, aka om neh a khobuel rhoek, Ibleam kah aka om rhoek neh a khobuel rhoek, Megiddo kah aka om rhoek neh a khobuel rhoek tah Manasseh loh ana haek pawt dongah Kanaan rhoek loh khohmuen ah khosak ham khak huul uh.
28 But after Israel was grown strong he made them tributaries, and would not destroy them.
Israel a om vaengah a moem tih Kanaan te saldong la a khueh tih a haek rhoe a haek moenih.
29 Ephraim also did not slay the Chanaanite that dwelt in Gazer, but dwelt with him.
Gezer ah aka om Kanaan te khaw Ephraim loh ana haek pawt dongah Gezer kah Kanaan tah amih lakli ah kho a sak.
30 Zabulon destroyed not the inhabitants of Cetron, and Naalol: but the Chanaanite dwelt among them, and became their tributaries.
Kitron kah khosa rhoek neh Nahalal kah khosa rhoek te khaw Zebulun loh ana haek pawt dongah a lakli ah Kanaan loh kho a sak tih saldong la om uh.
31 Aser also destroyed not the inhabitants of Accho, and of Sidon, of Ahalab, and of Achazib, and of Helba, and of Aphec, and of Rohob:
Akkho kah khosa rhoek, Sidon kah khosa rhoek neh Ahlab, Akhzib, Helbah, Aphek, Rehob te khaw Asher loh ana haek pawh.
32 And he dwelt in the midst of the Chanaanites the inhabitants of that land, and did not slay them.
Amih te ana haek pawt dongah khohmuen kah aka om Kanaan lakli ah Asher long khaw kho a sak.
33 Nephtali also destroyed not the inhabitants of Bethsames, and of Bethanath: and he dwelt in the midst of the Chanaanites the inhabitants of the land, and the Bethsamites and Bethanites were tributaries to him.
Bethshemesh kah khosa rhoek neh Bethanath khosa rhoek te Naphtali loh ana haek pawt dongah khohmuen kah aka om Kanaan lakli ah kho a sak. Tedae Bethshemesh neh Bethanath kah aka om rhoek te tah amih ham saldong la om uh.
34 And the Amorrhite straitened the children of Dan in the mountain, and gave them not place to go down to the plain:
Tlang kah Dan ca rhoek te Amori loh la a nen dongah anih te tah kol la suntlak sak ham pae pawh.
35 And he dwelt in the mountain Hares, that is, of potsherds, in Aialon and Salebim. And the hand of the house of Joseph was heavy upon him, and he became tributary to him.
Amori khaw Heres tlang, Aijalon neh Shaalbim ah khosak ham huul uh ngawn dae Joseph imko kah a bong a ban a puel phoeiah tah amih te saldong la om uh.
36 And the border of the Amorrhite was from the ascent of the scorpion, the rock, and the higher places.
Amori khorhi he Akrabbim kham lamloh Sela voelh a poeng duela om.
