< Judges 1 >

1 After Joshua died, the Israeli people asked Yahweh, “Which [of our tribes] should attack the Canaan people-group first?”
MAHOPE iho o ka make ana o Iosua, ninau aku la ka poe mamo a Iseraela ia Iehova, i aku la, Owai ko makou mea e pii mua aku i ke alo o ko Kanaana, e kaua aku ia lakou?
2 Yahweh replied, “I will enable the tribe of Judah to defeat [IDM] the Canaan people-group.”
I mai la o Iehova, E pii ae ka Iuda; aia hoi, ua haawi au i ka aina i kona lima.
3 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.
I ae la ka Iuda i ka Simeona, i kona kaikuaana, E hele pu oe me au, ma ko'u hele ana, i kaua aku kakou i ko Kanaana, a e hele pu no hoi au me oe, ma kou hele ana. A hele pu aku la ka Simeona me ia.
4 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].
Pii aku la ka Iuda, a haawi mai la o Iehova i ko Kanaana, a me ka Pereza, i ko lakou lima. A luku aku la lakou i kela poe ma Bezeka, he umi tausani kanaka.
5 During the battle they found Adoni-Bezek, the leader of the city,
A ma Bezeka, loaa ia lakou o Adonibezeka; a kaua aku la lakou ia ia, a luku aku la lakou i ko Kanaana, a me ka Pereza.
6 but he [tried to] run away. The Israelis pursued him and caught him. Then they cut off his thumbs and his big toes.
Holo aku la o Adonibezeka, a hahai aku la lakou ia ia, a loaa oia, alaila ooki ae la lakou i na manamana nui o kona mau lima, a me na manamana nui o kona mau wawae.
7 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.
I ae la o Adonibezeka, He kanahiku alii, ua okiia na manamana nui o ko lakou lima, a me ko lakou wawae, hoiliili lakou malalo iho o ko'u papaaina. E like me ka'u i hana aku ai, pela i hoopai mai ai ke Akua ia'u. Lawe ae la lakou ia ia i Ierusalema, a malaila ia i make ai
8 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.
Ua kaua aku ka poe mamo a Iuda, a ua hoopio, a ua luku aku ia Ierusalema, i ka maka o ka pahikaua, a ua puhi aku ia kulanakauhale i ke ahi.
9 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].
A mahope iho hele ae la na mamo a Iuda e kaua aku i ko Kanaana, i ka poe i noho ma ka mauna, a ma ka aoao hema, a ma ka papu.
10 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.
Hele ka e aku la ka Iuda i ko Kanaana, i ka poe i noho ma Heberona; o Kiriatareba ka inoa kahiko o Heberona; a pepehi aku la lakou ia Sesai, a me Ahimana, a me Talemai.
11 Then they left that area and went to fight against the people living in Debir [city], which was previously named Kiriath-Sepher.
A malaila aku lakou i hele ai e ku e ia Debira; o Kiriatesepera ka inoa kahiko o Debira.
12 [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.”
I iho la o Kaleba, O ka mea nana e pepehi ia Kiriatesepera, a e hoopio iho, e haawi aku au ia Akesa, i ka'u kaikamahine, i wahine nana.
13 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.
Na Oteniela, ke keiki a Kenaza, ke kaikaina o Kaleba i hoopio aku ia wahi; a haawi iho la oia ia Akesa, i kana kaikamahine, i wahine nana.
14 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?”
Eia hoi kekahi, a hiki mai ka wahine io na la, koi ae la oia ia ia e noi aku i kona makuakane i aina. A iho iho la ia mai luna mai o ka hoki. Ninau ae la o Kaleba i ke kaikamahine, Heaha kau?
15 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.
I mai la kela, E haawi mai oe ia'u i mea e pomaikai ai. No ka mea, ua haawi mai oe ia'u i aina ma ke kukuluhema; e haawi mai no hoi oe i na kumuwai. A haawi mai la o Kaleba i na kumuwai luna a me na kumuwai lalo.
16 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].
Pii aku la na mamo a ka mea no Keni, a ka makuahonowai kane o Mose, mai ke kulanakauhale o na laau pama aku, me na mamo a Iuda, a i ka waonahele o ka Iuda, aia no ia ma ka aoao hema o Arada; a hele ae la lakou a noho pu iho la me kanaka.
17 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’].
Hele pu aku la ka Iuda, me ka Simeona, kona kaikuaana, a luku aku la lakou i ko Kanaana, ka poe i noho ma Zepata, a hooki loa iho la ia wahi. Ua kapaia ka inoa o ia kulanakauhale, o Horema.
18 The men of Judah also captured Gaza, Ashkelon, and Ekron [cities] and all the land that is near those cities.
Hoopio iho la ka Iuda ia Gaza a me ko laila mau mokuna, a ia Asekelona kekahi me ko laila mau mokuna, a ia Ekerona hoi me ko laila mau mokuna.
19 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.
O Iehova pu no kekahi me ka Iuda, a loaa ia lakou ka mauna; aole hiki ia lakou ke kipaku aku i ka poe i noho ma na aina haahaa, no ka mea, he hao ko lakou kaakaua.
20 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.
A haawi ae la lakou ia Heberona no Kaleba, e like me ka Mose i olelo mai ai. A kipaku aku la ia, malaila aku, i na keiki ekolu a Anaka.
21 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.
Aole i kipaku na mamo a Beniamina i ka Iebusi, i noho ma Ierusalema; aka, noho pu no ka Iebusi me na mamo a Beniamina ma Ierusalema, a hiki loa mai i keia la.
22 The men of the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh went to fight against [the men of] Bethel [city], and Yahweh helped them.
O ka ohana a Iosepa kekahi i pii, e kaua aku ia Betela; a o Iehova pu no me lakou.
23 They sent some spies to [find out everything that they could find out about] Bethel, which was previously called Luz.
Kiu aku ka ohana a Iosepa ia Betela. o Luza ka inoa kahiko o ia kulanakauhale.
24 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].”
Ike aku la na kiu i kekahi kanaka, mai ke kulanakauhale ia i hele mai ai. I aku la lakou ia ia, E kuhikuhi mai oe ia makou, i kahi e komo aku ai iloko o ke kulanakauhale, a e hana lokomaikai aku makou ia oe.
25 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.
Kuhikuhi mai la oia ia lakou i kahi o komo aku ai iloko o ke kulanakauhale, a luku aku la lakou ia kulanakauhale i ka maka o ka pahi kaua; a kuu aku la lakou i ua kanaka la, a me kona poe a pau.
26 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.
A hele aku la ua kanaka nei i ka aina o ka Heta, a kukulu iho la i kulanakauhale, a kapa aku la i ka inoa, o Luza, oia hoi kona inoa a hiki mai i neia la.
27 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.
Aole i kipaku ka Manase i ko Beteseana, a me ko laila mau wahi; aole hoi i ko Taanaka, a me ko laila mau wahi, aole i ka poe i noho ma Dora, a me ko laila mau wahi; aole i ka poe i noho ma Ibeleama, a me ko laila mau wahi, aole i ka poe i noho ma Megido, a me ko laila mau wahi; aka, hoopaa no ko Kanaana i ko lakou noho ana ma ia aina.
28 Later, the Israelis became (stronger/more numerous), and they forced the people of the Canaan people-group to work for them [as their slaves], but they did not force all the people of the Canaan people-group to leave their land.
A hiki i ka manawa i ikaika ai ka Iseraela, auhau aku la lakou i ko Kanaana, aole i kipaku loa ia lakou.
29 [The men of] the tribe of Ephraim did not force the people of the Canaan people-group to leave Gezer [city]. So the people of the Canaan people-group continued to live with the people of the tribe of Ephraim.
Aole hoi i kipaku ka Eperaima i ko Kanaana i noho ma Gezera. Noho pu no ko Kanaana me lakou ma Gezera.
30 [The men of] the tribe of Zebulun did nor compel the people of the Canaan people-group who were living in Kitron and Nahalol [cities] to leave. They stayed there and lived among the people of the tribe of Zebulun, but the people of Zebulun forced them to work for them as their slaves.
Aole hoi i kipaku aku ka Zebuluna i ka poe i noho ma Kiterona, aole i ka poe i noho ma Nahalola. Noho pu no ko Kanaana mo lakou, a lilo lakou i poe i hookupu mai.
31 [The men of] the tribe of Asher did not force the people of the Canaan people-group who lived in Acco, Sidon, Ahlab, Aczib, Helbah, Aphek and Rehob [cities] to leave.
Aole hoi i kipaku aku o Asera i ka poe i noho ma Ako, aole i ka poe i noho ma Zidona, aole i ko Ahelaba, aole i ko Akeziba, aole i ko Helaba, aole i ko Apika, aole i ko Rehoba.
32 So the people of the tribe of Asher lived among them.
Noho pu no ka Asera me ko Kanaana, na kanaka o ka aina, no ka mea, aole lakou i kipaku aku ia poe.
33 [The men of] the tribe of Naphtali did not compel the people who lived in Beth-Shemesh and Beth-Anath [cities] to leave, so the people in those two cities continued to live there, but the people of the Canaan people-group were forced to work as the slaves of the people of the tribe of Naphtali.
Aole hoi i kipaku aku ka Napetali i ka poe i noho ma Betesemesa, aole hoi i ka poe i noho ma Beteanata; noho pu no lakou me ko Kanaana, na kanaka o ka aina; aka, lilo na kanaka o Betesemesa, a me Beteanata, i poe hookupu mai na lakou.
34 The people of the Amor people-group forced the people of the tribe of Dan to live in the hills. They did not allow them to come down [and live] on the plain.
Hooke aku la ka Amora i na mamo a Dana, a hiki iluna o ka puu. Aole lakou i ae aku ke iho mai ia poe i na aina papu.
35 The people of the Amor people-group were determined to stay in Heres Mountain and in Aijalon and Shaalbim [cities]. But when the Israelis became (stronger/more numerous), they forced the people of the Amor people-group to work as their slaves.
Hoopaa no ka Amora i ko lakou noho ana ma ka mauna o Heresa, a ma Aialona, a ma Saalebima: aka, ua kaumaha aku no ka lima o ko Iosepa poe, a lilo kela i poe hookupu mai.
36 The land where the Amor people-group lived extended from Scorpion Pass [toward the west] beyond Sela [town], up into the hilly area.
O na mokuna o ka Amora, mai ka puu o Akerabima aku ia, a mai I Sela aku no.
