Judges 1
1 After that Ioshua was dead, the children of Israel asked ye Lord, saying, Who shall goe vp for vs against the Canaanites, to fight first against them?
Pea hili ʻae pekia ʻa Siosiua naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe fehuʻi ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “Ko hai ʻiate kimautolu ʻe ʻalu muʻomuʻa hake ki he kau Kēnani ke tauʻi ʻakinautolu?”
2 And the Lord said, Iudah shall goe vp: behold, I haue giuen the land into his hande.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova, “Ke ʻalu hake ʻa Siuta: vakai, kuo u tukuange ʻae fonua ki hono nima.”
3 And Iudah said vnto Simeon his brother, Come vp with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites: and I likewise will goe with thee into thy lot: so Simeon went with him.
Pea naʻe lea ʻa Siuta ki hono tokoua ko Simione, ʻo pehē, “Haʻu ke ta ō mo koe ki hoku tofiʻa, koeʻuhi ke ta tauʻi ʻae kau Kēnani; pea te u ʻalu mo koe foki ki ho tofiʻa.” Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Simione mo ia.
4 Then Iudah went vp, and the Lord deliuered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hands, and they slew of them in Bezek ten thousand men.
Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Siuta: pea naʻe tukuange ʻe Sihova ʻae kau Kēnani mo e kau Pelesi ki honau nima: pea naʻa nau tāmateʻi ʻiate kinautolu ʻi Piseki ko e kau tangata ʻe tokotaha mano.
5 And they founde Adoni-bezek in Bezek: and they fought against him, and slewe the Canaanites, and the Perizzites.
Pea naʻa nau ʻilo ʻa ʻAtoni-Piseki ʻi Piseki: pea naʻa nau tauʻi ia, pea naʻa nau tāmateʻi ʻae kau Kēnani mo e kau Pelesi.
6 But Adoni-bezek fled, and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off the thumbes of his hands and of his feete.
Ka naʻe hola ʻa ʻAtoni-Piseki; pea naʻa nau tuli ʻo maʻu ia, ʻonau tutuʻu hono ongo motuʻa nima mo hono motuʻa vaʻe.
7 And Adoni-bezek said, Seuentie Kings hauing the thumbes of their hands and of their feete cut off, gathered bread vnder my table: as I haue done, so God hath rewarded me. so they brought him to Ierusalem, and there he died.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻAtoni-Piseki, “Ko e tuʻi ʻe toko fitungofulu, naʻe tutuʻu honau ngaahi motuʻa nima mo e motuʻa vaʻe, naʻe tufi ʻenau meʻakai ʻi lalo ʻi hoku keinangaʻanga: hangē ko ia naʻaku fai, kuo totongi pehē kiate au ʻe he ʻOtua.” Pea naʻa nau ʻomi ia ki Selūsalema, pea naʻe pekia ia ʻi ai.
8 (Nowe the children of Iudah had fought against Ierusalem, and had taken it and smitten it with the edge of the sworde, and had set the citie on fire.)
Pea ko eni, naʻe tauʻi ʻa Selūsalema ʻe he fānau ʻa Siuta, pea naʻe lavaʻi ia, pea naʻe taaʻi ʻaki ia ʻae mata ʻoe heletā, pea tutu ʻae kolo ʻaki ʻae afi.
9 Afterwarde also the children of Iudah went downe to fight against the Canaanites, that dwelt in the mountaine, and towarde the South, and in the lowe countrey.
Pea hili ia naʻe toki ʻalu ʻae fānau ʻa Siuta ke tauʻi ʻae kau Kēnani, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi he moʻunga, pea ʻi he potu tonga, pea mo e toafa.
10 And Iudah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron, which Hebron beforetime was called Kiriath-arba: and they slewe Sheshai, and Ahiman and Talmai.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Siuta ke tauʻi ʻae kau Kēnani ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi Hepeloni: (pea ko e hingoa ʻo Hepeloni ʻi muʻa ko Kesa-ʻAlipa: ) pea naʻa nau tāmateʻi ʻa Sesei, mo ʻEhimani, mo Talimi.
11 And from thence hee went to the inhabitantes of Debir, and the name of Debir in olde time was Kiriath-sepher.
Pea naʻe ʻalu mei ai ia ke tauʻi ʻae kakai ʻo Tipa: pea ko hono hingoa muʻa ʻo Tipa, ko Kesa-Sefa:
12 And Caleb saide, He that smiteth Kiriath-sepher, and taketh it, euen to him wil I giue Achsah my daughter to wife.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Kelepi, “Ko ia ʻoku ne taaʻi ʻa Kesa-Sefa, ʻo lavaʻi ia, te u foaki atu kiate ia hoku ʻofefine ko ʻAkesa kena mali.”
13 And Othniel the sonne of Kenaz Calebs yonger brother tooke it, to whome hee gaue Achsah his daughter to wife.
Pea naʻe kapasi ia ʻe Otinili ko e foha ʻo Kenasi ko e tehina ʻo Kelepi: pea ne ʻatu kiate ia hono ʻofefine ko ʻAkesa kena mali.
14 And when shee came to him, shee mooued him to aske of her father a field, and shee lighted off her asse, and Caleb saide vnto her, What wilt thou?
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene haʻu kiate ia, naʻa ne ueʻi ia ke ne kole ʻae ngoue mei heʻene tamai: pea naʻe ʻalu hifo ia mei heʻene ʻasi; pea naʻe pehē ʻe Kelepi kiate ia, Ko e hā ho loto?
15 And shee answered him, Giue mee a blessing: for thou hast giuen me a South countrey, giue me also springs of water: and Caleb gaue her the springs aboue and the springs beneath.
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “Tuku mai ha tāpuaki: he kuo ke foaki kiate au ha fonua ʻi he feituʻu tonga; ke ke foaki mai ʻae ngaahi matavai foki.” Pea naʻe foaki ʻe Kelepi kiate ia ʻae ngaahi matavai ʻi ʻolunga mo e ngaahi matavai ʻi lalo.
16 And the childre of Keni Moses father in law went vp out of the citie of the palme trees with the children of Iudah, into the wildernesse of Iudah, that lieth in the South of Arad, and went and dwelt among the people.
Pea ko e fānau ʻa Kena ko e tamai ʻi he fono kia Mōsese, ne nau ʻalu hake fakataha mo e fānau ʻa Siuta mei he kolo ʻoe ʻakau ko e ponga ki he toafa ʻo Siuta, ʻaia ʻoku tuʻu ki he potu tonga ʻo ʻAlati; pea naʻa nau ʻalu ʻo nonofo mo e kakai.
17 But Iudah went with Simeon his brother, and they slewe the Canaanites that inhabited Zephath, and vtterly destroied it, and called the name of the citie Hormah.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Siuta mo hono tokoua ko Simione, pea naʻa na tāmateʻi ʻae kau Kēnani naʻe nofo ʻi Sefati, ʻonau fakaʻauha ʻaupito ia. Pea naʻe ui hono hingoa ʻoe kolo ko Hoama.
18 Also Iudah tooke Azzah with the coasts thereof, and Askelon with the coasts thereof, and Ekron with the coastes thereof.
Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Siuta ʻa Kesa foki mo hono ngaahi potu ʻo ia, mo ʻAsikiloni mo hono ngaahi potu ʻo ia, mo Ekiloni mo hono ngaahi potu ʻo ia.
19 And the Lord was with Iudah, and he possessed the mountaines: for he could not driue out the inhabitantes of the valleis, because they had charrets of yron.
Pea naʻe ʻia Siuta ʻa Sihova: pea naʻa ne kapusi ʻae kakai ʻoe moʻunga: ka naʻe ʻikai faʻa kapusi ʻe ia ʻae kakai ʻoe teleʻa, koeʻuhi naʻa nau maʻu ʻae ngaahi saliote ʻaione.
20 And they gaue Hebron vnto Caleb, as Moses had saide, and hee expelled thence the three sonnes of Anak.
Pea naʻa nau foaki ʻa Hepeloni kia Kelepi, ʻo hangē ko e lea ʻa Mōsese: pea naʻa ne kapusi mei ai ʻae foha ʻe toko tolu ʻo ʻAnaki.
21 But the children of Beniamin did not cast out the Iebusites, that inhabited Ierusalem: therefore the Iebusites dwell with the children of Beniamin in Ierusalem vnto this day.
Pea naʻe ʻikai kapusi ʻe he fānau ʻa Penisimani ʻae kau Sepusi naʻe nofo ʻi Selūsalema; ka kuo nofo ʻae kau Sepusi mo e fānau ʻa Penisimani ʻi Selūsalema, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.
22 They also that were of the house of Ioseph, went vp to Beth-el, and the Lord was with them,
Pea ko e fale ʻo Siosefa, naʻe ʻalu hake foki ʻakinautolu ke tauʻi ʻa Peteli pea naʻe ʻiate kinautolu ʻa Sihova.
23 And the house of Ioseph caused to viewe Beth-el (and the name of the citie beforetime was Luz)
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he fale ʻo Siosefa ke vakaiʻi ʻa Peteli: (Pea ko hono hingoa ʻi muʻa ʻoe kolo ko Lusa.)
24 And the spies sawe a man come out of the citie, and they saide vnto him, Shewe vs, we praie thee, the way into the citie, and we will shewe thee mercie.
Pea naʻe mamata ʻe he kau mataki ki he tangata ʻoku haʻu kituʻa mei he kolo, pea naʻa nau pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku mau kole kiate koe ke fakahā kiate kimautolu ʻae hūʻanga ki he kolo, pea te mau fai ʻofa kiate koe.”
25 And when hee had shewed them the waie into the citie, they smote the citie with the edge of the sworde, but they let the man and all his housholde depart.
Pea ʻi heʻene fakahā kiate kinautolu ʻae hūʻanga ki he kolo, naʻa nau taaʻi ʻae kolo ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā; ka naʻa nau tukuange ʻae tangata ke ʻalu mo hono fale kotoa pē.
26 Then the man went into the lande of the Hittites, and built a citie, and called the name thereof Luz, which is the name thereof vnto this daie.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae tangata ki he fonua ʻoe kau Heti, pea naʻe langa ʻe ia ʻae kolo, pea naʻe ui hono hingoa ʻo ia ko Lusa: ʻaia ko hono hingoa ia ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.
27 Neither did Manasseh destroie Bethshean with her townes, nor Taanach with her townes, nor the inhabitantes of Dor with her townes, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam with her townes, neither the inhabitants of Megiddo with her townes: but the Canaanites dwelled still in that lande.
Pea naʻe ʻikai kapusi foki ʻe Manase ʻae kakai mei Pete-Seani mo hono ngaahi potu kakai, mo Tenaki mo hono ngaahi kolo, pe ko e kakai ʻo Toa mo hono ngaahi kolo, pe ko e kakai ʻo Ipiliami mo hono ngaahi kolo, pe ko e kakai ʻo Mekito mo hono ngaahi kolo: ka naʻe maʻu pe ʻae loto ʻoe kau Kēnani kenau nofo ʻi he fonua.
28 Neuerthelesse when Israel was strong, they put the Canaanites to tribute, and expelled them not wholly.
Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi he hoko ʻo mālohi ʻa ʻIsileli, naʻa nau fekau ke tukuhau ʻae kau Kēnani, pea naʻe ʻikai tenau kapusi ʻaupito ʻakinautolu kituaʻā.
29 Likewise Ephraim expelled not the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer, but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.
Pea naʻe ʻikai kapusi foki ʻe ʻIfalemi ʻae kau Kēnani ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi Kesa; ka naʻe nofo ʻi Kesa ʻae kau Kēnani mo kinautolu.
30 Neither did Zebulun expell the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol, but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became tributaries.
Pea naʻe ʻikai kapusi ʻe Sepuloni ʻae kakai ʻo Kitiloni, pe ko e kakai ʻo Nehaloli; ka naʻe nofo ʻae kau Kēnani mo kinautolu, ʻonau hoko ʻo tukuhau.
31 Neither did Asher cast out the inhabitants of Accho, nor the inhabitants of Zidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob,
Pea naʻe ʻikai kapusi ʻe ʻAseli ʻae kakai ʻo ʻAko, pe ko e kakai ʻo Saitoni, pe ko e kakai ʻo ʻAlapi, pe ko Ekisipi, pe ko Elipa, pe ko ʻAfiki, pe ko Lehopi:
32 But the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites the inhabitantes of the lande: for they did not driue them out.
Ka naʻe nofo ʻae kakai ʻAseli mo e kau Kēnani, ʻaia ko e kakai ʻae fonua: he naʻe ʻikai tenau kapusi ʻakinautolu kituaʻā.
33 Neither did Naphtali driue out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh, nor the inhabitants of Beth-anath, but dwelt among the Canaanites the inhabitants of the lande: neuerthelesse the inhabitantes of Beth-shemesh, and of Beth-anath became tributaries vnto them.
Pea naʻe ʻikai kapusi ʻe Nafitali ʻae kakai ʻo Pete-Semesi, pe ko e kakai ʻo Pete-ʻAnati; ka naʻe nofo ia mo e kau Kēnani, ko e kakai ʻoe fonua: ka naʻe hoko ʻo tukuhau kiate kinautolu ʻae kakai ʻo Pete-Semesi, pea mo Pete-ʻAnati.
34 And the Amorites droue the children of Dan into the mountaine: so that they suffered them not to come downe to the valley.
Pea naʻe kapusi ʻe he kau ʻAmoli ʻae fānau ʻa Tani ki he moʻunga: he naʻe ʻikai tenau tuku ʻakinautolu ke ʻalu hifo ki he teleʻa.
35 And the Ammonites dwelt still in mount Heres in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim, and when the hand of Iosephs familie preuailed, they became tributaries:
Ka naʻe maʻu pe ʻae loto ʻoe kau ʻAmoli kenau nofo ʻi he moʻunga ko Elesi ʻi ʻAsaloni, mo Seʻelipimi: ka naʻe mālohi ʻae nima ʻoe fale ʻo Siosefa, ko ia ne nau hoko ʻo tukuhau ai.
36 And the coast of the Amorites was from Maaleh-akrabbim, euen from Selah and vpward.
Pea ko hono ngataʻanga ʻoe fonua ʻoe kau ʻAmoli naʻe fai mei he ʻalu hake ki ʻAkilapime, mei he makatuʻu ʻo mole hake.
