< Judges 1 >

1 After Joshua died, the Israeli people asked Yahweh, “Which [of our tribes] should attack the Canaan people-group first?”
Kalpasan iti ipapatay ni Josue, nagsaludsod dagiti tattao ti Israel kenni Yahweh a kunada, “Siasino ti mangidaulo kadakami inton sumang-atkami a makiranget kadagiti Cananeo?”
2 Yahweh replied, “I will enable the tribe of Judah to defeat [IDM] the Canaan people-group.”
Kinuna ni Yahweh, “Ti Juda ti mangidaulo kadakayo. Kitaenyo, intedko kadakuada ti panangituray iti daytoy a daga.”
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.
Kinuna dagiti lallaki ti Juda kadagiti lallaki ti Simeon a kakabsatda, “Kaduaandakami a sumang-at a mapan iti teritoriomi a naited kadakami, tapno sangsangkamaysatayo a makiranget kadagiti Cananeo. Ket kaduaandakayonto met a mapan iti teritorio a naited kadakayo.” Kinaduaan ngarud ida iti tribu ti Simeon.
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].
Simmang-at dagiti lallaki ti Juda, ket inted ni Yahweh kadakuada ti panagballigi kadagiti Cananeo ken Perezeo. Pinatayda ti sangapulo a ribu kadakuada idiay Besec.
5 During the battle they found Adoni-Bezek, the leader of the city,
Nasarakanda ni Adonibesek idiay Besec, ket nakirangetda kenkuana ken pinarmekda dagiti Cananeo ken dagiti Perezeo.
6 but he [tried to] run away. The Israelis pursued him and caught him. Then they cut off his thumbs and his big toes.
Ngem naglibas ni Adonibezek, ket kinamat ken tiniliwda isuna, ket pinutedda dagiti tangan ti imana ken dagiti dadakkel a ramay ti sakana.
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.
Kinuna ni Adonibezek, “Pito-pulo nga ari a naputed dagiti tangan ti ima ken dagiti dadakkel a ramay ti sakana ti nagurnong iti taraonda manipud iti sirok ti lamisaanko. Kas iti inaramidko, kasta met ti inaramid ti Dios kaniak.” Impanda isuna idiay Jerusalem, ket natay isuna sadiay.
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.
Nakiranget dagiti lallaki ti Juda iti siudad ti Jerusalem ket nasakupda daytoy. Rinautda daytoy babaen iti tadem ti kampilan ket pinuoranda ti siudad.
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].
Kalpasan dayta, simmalog dagiti lallaki ti Juda tapno makiranget kadagiti Cananeo a nagnanaed iti katurturodan a pagilian, idiay Negeb, ken iti akin-laud a sakaanan dagiti turod.
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.
Rinaut ti Juda dagiti Cananeo a nagnaed idiay Hebron (ti nagan idi ti Hebron ket Kiriat-Arba), ket pinarmekda da Sesai, Ahiman, ken Talmai.
11 Then they left that area and went to fight against the people living in Debir [city], which was previously named Kiriath-Sepher.
Manipud sadiay, rinaut dagiti lallaki ti Juda dagiti agnanaed iti Debir (ti nagan idi ti Debir ket Kiriat Sefer).
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.”
Kinuna ni Caleb, “Ti siasinoman a mangraut iti Kiriat Sefer ket masakupna daytoy, itedko kenkuana ni Acsa nga anakko, nga agbalin nga asawana.”
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.
Nasakup ni Otniel nga anak ni Kenaz (ading ni Caleb) ti Debir, isu nga inted ni Caleb kenkuana ni Acsa nga anakna, tapno agbalin nga asawana.
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?”
Iti saan a nagbayag, napan ni Acsa kenni Otniel, ket ginuyugoyna isuna a dawatenna iti amana nga ikkanna isuna iti talon. Idi bumabbaba isuna manipud iti asnona, sinaludsod isuna ni Caleb, “Ania ti mabalinko nga aramiden para kenka?”
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.
Kinuna ni Acsa kenkuana, “Ikkannak iti maysa a bendision. Agsipud ta pinagnaednak iti daga ti Negeb, ikkannak met kadagiti ubbog ti danum.” Inted ngarud ni Caleb kenkuana dagiti akin-ngato ken akin-baba nga ubbog.
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].
Simmang-at dagiti kaputotan ti katugangan ni Moises a Kineo manipud iti Siudad dagiti Palma a kaduada dagiti tattao ti Juda, idiay let-ang ti Juda, nga adda idiay Negeb, tapno makipagnaedda kadagiti tattao ti Juda iti asideg ti Arad.
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’].
Ket kimmuyog dagiti lallaki ti Juda kadagiti lallaki ti Simeon a kakabsatda ket rinautda dagiti Cananeo nga agnanaed idiay Zefat ket dinadaelda a naan-anay daytoy. Ti siudad ket napanaganan iti Hormah.
18 The men of Judah also captured Gaza, Ashkelon, and Ekron [cities] and all the land that is near those cities.
Nasakup pay dagiti tattao ti Juda ti Gaza ken ti daga iti aglawlaw daytoy, ti Askelon ken ti daga nga adda iti aglawlaw daytoy, ken ti Ekron ken ti daga iti aglawlaw daytoy.
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.
Adda idi ni Yahweh kadagiti tattao ti Juda ket tinagikuada ti katurturodan a pagilian, ngem saanda a mapapanaw dagiti agnanaed kadagiti kapatadan gapu ta addaanda kadagiti landok a karwahe.
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.
Naited ti Hebron kenni Caleb (kas iti imbaga ni Moises), ket pinapanawna sadiay dagiti tallo a putot a lallaki ni Anak.
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.
Ngem saan a pinapanaw dagiti tattao ti Benjamin dagiti Jebuseo a nagnaed idiay Jerusalem. Isu a nakipagnaed dagiti Jebuseo kadagiti tattao ti Benjamin idiay Jerusalem agingga iti daytoy nga aldaw.
22 The men of the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh went to fight against [the men of] Bethel [city], and Yahweh helped them.
Nagsagana ti balay ni Jose a mangraut iti Betel, ket adda ni Yahweh kadakuada.
23 They sent some spies to [find out everything that they could find out about] Bethel, which was previously called Luz.
Nangibaonda kadagiti lallaki nga ag-espia iti Betel (ti siudad a sigud a maawagan iti Luz).
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].”
Nakakita dagiti espia iti maysa a lalaki a rumrumuar manipud iti siudad, ket kinunada kenkuana, “Pangngaasim ta isurom kadakami no kasano ti makaserrek iti siudad, ket agtignaykaminto a siaasi kenka.”
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.
Insurona kadakuada ti maysa a dalan a sumrek iti siudad. Ket rinautda ti siudad babaen iti tadem ti kampilan, ngem pinalubosanda a makapanaw ti lalaki ken ti pamiliana.
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.
Ket napan ti lalaki iti daga dagiti Heteo ket nangibangon isuna iti siudad ket inawaganna daytoy iti Luz, nga isu ti naganna agingga iti daytoy nga aldaw.
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.
Saan a pinapanaw dagiti tattao ti Manasses dagiti tattao nga agnanaed kadagiti siudad ti Bet San ken kadagiti bariona daytoy, wenno Tanaac ken kadagiti bariona, wenno dagiti nagnaed idiay Dor ken kadagiti bario daytoy, wenno dagiti nagnaed idiay Ibleam ken kadagiti bario daytoy, wenno dagiti nagnaed idiay Megiddo ken kadagiti bario daytoy, gapu ta naregget dagiti Cananeo nga agnaed iti dayta a daga.
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.
Idi bimmileg ti Israel, pinilitda dagiti Cananeo nga agserbi kadakuada iti narigat a panagtrabaho, ngem pulos a saanda ida a naan-anay a pinapanaw.
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.
Saan a pinapanaw ti Ephraim dagiti Cananeo a nagnaed idiay Gezer, isu a nagtultuloy a nakipagnaed kadakuada dagiti Cananeo idiay Gezer.
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.
Saan a pinapanaw ti Zabulun dagiti tattao nga agnanaed idiay Kitron, wenno dagiti tattao nga agnanaed idiay Nahalol, ket isu a nagtultuloy a nakipagnaed kadakuada dagiti Cananeo, ngem pinilit ti Zabulun nga agserbi kadakuada dagiti Cananeo babaen iti nakaro a panagtrabaho.
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.
Saan a pinapanaw ti Aser dagiti tattao nga agnanaed idiay Acco, wenno dagiti tattao nga agnanaed idiay Sidon, wenno dagiti agnanaed idiay Ahlab, Aczib, Helba, Afik, wenno Rehob.
32 So the people of the tribe of Asher lived among them.
Isu a nakipagnaed ti tribu ti Aser kadagiti Cananeo (dagiti nagnaed iti daga), gapu ta saanda ida a pinapanaw.
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.
Saan a pinapanaw iti tribu ti Neftali dagiti tattao nga agnanaed idiay Bet Semes, wenno dagiti agnanaed idiay Bet Anat. Isu a nakipagnaed ti tribu ti Neftali kadagiti Cananeo (dagiti tattao a nagnanaed idi iti dayta a daga). Nupay kasta, napilit dagiti agnanaed iti Bet-semes ken Bet Anat iti narigat a panagtrabaho para iti Neftali.
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.
Pinilit dagiti Amorreo ti tribu ti Dan nga agnaed iti katurturodan a pagilian, a saanda intulok a sumalogda iti patad.
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.
Nagnaed ngarud dagiti Amorreo idiay Bantay Heres, idiay Aijalon ken idiay Saalbim, ngem pinarmek ida iti bileg ti soldado iti balay ni Jose, ket napilitanda nga agserbi kadakuada babaen iti nakaro a panagtrabaho.
36 The land where the Amor people-group lived extended from Scorpion Pass [toward the west] beyond Sela [town], up into the hilly area.
Ti beddeng dagiti Amorreo ket aglayon manipud iti turod ti Akrabim idiay Sela a sumang-at agingga iti katurturodan a pagilian.
