Judges 1
1 And it came to pass after the death of Joshua, that the children of Israel asked of the LORD, saying, Who shall go up for us first against the Canaanites, to fight against them?
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, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.
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 Judah said unto 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.
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 Judah went up; and the LORD delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand: and they smote of them in Bezek 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 Adoni-bezek in Bezek: and they fought against him, and they smote the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
Bezek ah Adonibezek te a hmuh uh tih anih te a tloek uh phoeiah Kanaan neh Perizzi te a tloek uh.
6 But Adoni-bezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great 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 pauh.
7 And Adoni-bezek said, Threescore and ten kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered [their meat] under my table: as I have done, so God hath 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 Judah fought against Jerusalem, and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and set the 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 afterward the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites that dwelt in the hill country, and in the South, and in the lowland.
Te phoeiah tlang neh tuithim kolrhawk kah aka om Kanaan te tloek ham Judah ca rhoek loh suntla uh.
10 And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron: (now the name of Hebron beforetime was Kiriath-arba: ) and they smote Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.
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 from thence he went against the inhabitants of Debir. (Now the name of Debir beforetime was Kiriath-sepher.)
Te lamloh Debir kah khosa rhoek te a paan uh cetuh. Derbir kah a ming rhuem tah Kiriathsepher ni.
12 And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kiriath-sepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter 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 Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah 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 it came to pass, when she came [unto him], that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she lighted down from off her ass; and Caleb said unto her, What wouldest thou?
A yuu te ha pawk vaengah a napa taengkah khohmuen bih ham a va te a vueh. laak dong lamkah a bit uh vanneh anih te Kaleb loh, “Nang ham balae kan saii eh,” a ti nah.
15 And she said unto him, Give me a blessing; for that thou hast set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water. And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the nether springs.
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 Kenite, Moses’ brother in law, went up out of the city of palm trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which is in the south of Arad; and they went and dwelt with the people.
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 Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they smote the Canaanites that inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. And the name of the city was called Hormah.
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 Also Judah took Gaza with the border thereof, and Ashkelon with the border thereof, and Ekron with the border thereof.
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 Judah; and he drave out [the inhabitants of] the hill country; for he could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.
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 unto Caleb, as Moses had spoken: and he drave out thence the three sons of Anak.
Moses kah a thui bangla Hebron te Kaleb taengah a paek uh hatah te lamkah Anak ca rhoek pathum te vik a vai.
21 And the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites that inhabited Jerusalem: but the Jebusites dwelt with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem, unto this 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 And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Beth-el: and the LORD was with them.
Joseph imko loh Bethel a paan uh vaengah khaw amih te BOEIPA loh a om puei.
23 And the house of Joseph sent to spy out Beth-el. (Now the name of the city beforetime was Luz.)
Lamhma a ming Luz khopuei la aka om Bethel te Joseph imko loh a yaam uh.
24 And the watchers saw a man come forth out of the city, and they said unto him, Shew us, we pray thee, the entrance into the city, and we will deal kindly with thee.
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 he shewed them the entrance into the city, and they smote the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man go and all his family.
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 sakuh.
26 And the man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a city, and called the name thereof Luz: which is the name thereof unto 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 And Manasseh did not drive out [the inhabitants of] Beth-shean and her towns, nor [of] Taanach and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns: but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
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 And it came to pass, when Israel was waxen strong, that they put the Canaanites to taskwork, and did not utterly drive them out.
Israel a om vaengah a moem tih Kanaan te saldong la a khueh tih a haek rhoe a haek moenih.
29 And Ephraim drave not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.
Gezer ah aka om Kanaan te khaw Ephraim loh ana haek pawt dongah Gezer kah Kanaan tah amih lakli ah kho a sak.
30 Zebulun drave not out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became tributary.
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 Asher drave not out the inhabitants of Acco, nor the inhabitants of Zidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob:
Akkho kah khosa rhoek, Sidon kah khosa rhoek neh Ahlab, Akhzib, Helbah, Aphek, Rehoh te khaw Asher loh ana haek pawh.
32 but the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: for they did not drive them out.
Amih te ana haek pawt dongah khohmuen kah aka om Kanaan lakli ah Asher long khaw kho a sak.
33 Naphtali drave not out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh, nor the inhabitants of Beth-anath; but he dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and of Beth-anath became tributary unto them.
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 Amorites forced the children of Dan into the hill country: for they would not suffer them to come down to the valley:
Tlang kah Dan ca rhoek te Amori loh la a nen dongah anih te tah kol la suntlak sak ham pae pawh.
35 but the Amorites would dwell in mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim: yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, so that they became tributary.
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 Amorites was from the ascent of Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward.
Amori khorhi he Akrabbim kham lamloh Sela voelh a poeng duela om.
