Judges 1
1 Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass, that the children of Israel asked the LORD, saying, Who shall go up for us against the Canaanites first, to fight against them?
Joshua a due hnukkhu, Isarelnaw ni Kanaannaw tuk hanelah, apimaw maimouh hanlah hma ka hman han telah BAWIPA hah a pacei awh.
2 And the LORD said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.
BAWIPA ni, Judah a cei han. A kut dawk ram teh ka poe toe, telah a ti.
3 And Judah said to 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.
Judah ni a hmau Simeon koevah, Kanaannaw tuk thai nahanelah, ka ham e ram koe kai na pue haw, kai ni hai nang ni na ham e ram koe na pue van han, atipouh. Hahoi teh, Simeon ni ahni koe a kâbang pouh.
4 And Judah went up; and the LORD delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand: and they slew of them in Bezek ten thousand men.
Judah ni a kamthaw teh Kanaannaw hoi Periznaw hah BAWIPA ni a kut dawk a poe teh, Bezek vah tami 10, 000 touh a thei awh.
5 And they found Adonibezek in Bezek: and they fought against him, and they slew the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
Bezek kho vah Adonibezek siangpahrang a hmu awh teh, Kanaannaw hoi Periznaw a thei awh toteh,
6 But Adonibezek fled; and they pursued him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.
siangpahrang teh a yawng eiteh, Judahnaw ni a pâlei awh teh, bout a man awh. A kutpui, a khokpui soumsoum a tâtueng pouh awh.
7 And Adonibezek said, seventy kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered their food under my table: as I have done, so God hath repaid me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died.
Adonibezek ni kutpui hoi khokpui a tâtueng pouh e siangpahrang 70 touh ni, kaie caboi rahim buramei a luep awh. Kai ni ouk ka sak e patetlah, BAWIPA ni kai dawk moi na pathung toe ati. Hote siangpahrangnaw teh, Jerusalem a ceikhai awh teh, hawvah a due.
8 Now the children of Judah had fought against Jerusalem, and had taken it, and smitten it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.
Hahoi Judahnaw ni Jerusalem teh tahloi hoi koung a thei awh hnukkhu, hmai a sawi awh.
9 And afterward the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites, that dwelt on the mountain, and in the south, and in the valley.
Hathnukkhu hoi teh, mon dawk kaawmnaw hai thoseh, akalae kaawmnaw hai thoseh, ayawn dawk kaawmnaw hai thoseh, Kanaannaw hai thoseh, a tuk awh.
10 And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron: (now the name of Hebron before was Kirjatharba: ) and they slew Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.
Hahoi minruem Kiriath-Arba a phung awh e Hebron kho kaawm e Kanaannaw aonae koe a cei awh teh, Sheshai Ahiman, Talmainaw a thei awh.
11 And from there he went against the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before was Kirjathsepher:
Haw hoi teh, Debir kaawm e naw hah a cei sin awh. Debir teh ayan e min lahoi teh Kiriath-sepher doeh.
12 And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjathsepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter for a wife.
Hahoi Kalep ni, Kiriath-sepher khopui ka tâ thai e tami teh kai ni ka canu Akasah a yu lah ka poe han telah a ti.
13 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter for a wife.
Kalep e a nawngha Kenaz e capa Othniel ni a tâ teh a canu Akasah teh a yu lah a poe.
14 And it came to pass, when she came to him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she got off her donkey; and Caleb said to her, What wilt thou?
Hote napui kahlawng a cei navah, A na pa koe lawhmuennaw hei hanlah a kâpan roi hnukkhu, marang dawk hoi a kum. A na pa ni bangmaw na ngai e kaawm telah a pacei navah,
15 And she said to him, Give me a blessing: for thou hast given me a south land; give me also springs of water. And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
a canu ni yawhawi na poe hanelah ka ngai. Akalae ram na poe boum teh, tuidonaw hai hmawi na poe sin loe atipouh. A na pa ni atunglae tuido hoi akalae tuido puenghai a poe.
16 And the children of the Kenite, Moses’ father in law, went up out of the city of palm trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which lieth in the south of Arad; and they went and dwelt among the people.
Mosi masei e a na minca lah kaawm e Ken miphunnaw hateh, Judahnaw hoi ungkung kho thung kaawm e, Arad ram teng kaawm e, Judah ram dawk a kâbang van teh, kho cungtalah a sak awh.
17 And Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they slew the Canaanites that inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. And the name of the city was called Hormah.
Hahoi teh, Judah ni a hmau Simeon hoi a cei roi teh, Zephath kho kaawm e Kanaannaw a thei roi teh, khopui hai he a raphoe roi. Hatdawkvah, Hormah telah a phung awh.
18 Also Judah took Gaza with its land, and Askelon with its land, and Ekron with its land.
Hahoi Judah ni Gaza hoi ateng e khonaw, Askelon hoi ateng e khonaw, Ekron hoi ateng e khonaw hai koung a la pouh.
19 And the LORD was with Judah; and he drove out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.
BAWIPA teh Judah hoi cungtalah ao dawkvah, ahni ni mon dawk e naw pueng he a pâlei. Hateiteh, ayawn dawk kho ka sak e naw teh, sumrangleng a tawn awh dawkvah, pâlei thai awh hoeh.
20 And they gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses said: and he drove out from there the three sons of Anak.
Hahoi Mosi ni a dei e patetlah Hebron teh Kalep a poe awh. Anakim e capa kathum touh teh, hote kho hoi a pâlei awh.
21 And the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites that inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.
Hatei Benjamin miphunnaw niteh, Jerusalem kaawm e Jebusitnaw hah pâlei awh hoeh dawkvah, atu totouh, Jebusitnaw hah Benjaminnaw hoi Jerusalem vah reirei ao awh.
22 And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Bethel: and the LORD was with them.
Joseph miphunnaw nihai, Bethel a tuk awh navah, BAWIPA teh ahnimouh koe ao.
23 And the house of Joseph sent to spy out Bethel. (Now the name of the city before was Luz.)
Joseph miphun niteh, Bethel tuet hanlah, a patoun awh. Hote kho min teh ayan teh Luz tie doeh.
24 And the spies saw a man coming out of the city, and they said to him, Show us, we pray thee, the entrance into the city, and we will show thee mercy.
Katuetnaw ni kho thung hoi ka tâcawt e tami buet touh a hmu awh teh, kho thung kâennae lam na patue haw. Hat pawiteh, na hlout han atipouh.
25 And when he showed them the entrance into the city, they smote the city with the edge of the sword; but they let go the man and all his family.
Hote tami ni kho thung kâennae lam a patue teh, ahnimouh ni khocanaw hah tahloi hoi he a tâtueng awh. Hatei, hote tami hoi imthungkhunaw teh a hlout sak awh.
26 And the man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a city, and called the name of it Luz: which is its name to this day.
Hote a hlout sak awh e imthung teh, Hit ram lah a cei awh teh hawvah kho a sak awh. Ahnimae kho min teh Luz telah a phung awh. Sahnin totouh a min lah pou ao.
27 Neither did Manasseh drive out the inhabitants of Bethshean and its towns, nor Taanach and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns: but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
Manasseh miphun niteh, Bethshean khonaw, Tanak khonaw, Dor khonaw, Ibleam khonaw, Megiddo khonaw hah pâlei laipalah, Kanaannaw hoi Hote ram dawk cungtalah rei pou ao awh.
28 And it came to pass, when Israel was strong, that they subjected the Canaanites to forced labour, and did not utterly drive them out.
Isarelnaw a tha ao toteh, Kanaannaw teh pâlei hoeh eiteh, a kut rahim thaw a tawk sak awh.
29 Neither did Ephraim drive out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.
Ephraim niteh, Gezer kaawm e Kanaannaw pâlei awh hoeh. Hatei, Kanaannaw hoi mak kâkalawt lah kho a sak awh.
30 Neither did Zebulun drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became forced labourers.
Zebulun ni Kitron kaawm naw thoseh, Nahalal kaawmnaw thoseh, pâlei awh hoeh. Hatei, Kanaannaw hoi cungtalah kho a sak awh teh, a kut rahim thaw a tawk sak awh.
31 Neither did Asher drive 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:
Hot patetvanlah, Asher miphun ni hai Akko kho kaawmnaw, Sidon kho kaawmnaw, Ahlab kho kaawmnaw, Akhzib kho kaawmnaw, Helbah kho kaawmnaw, Aphik kho kaawmnaw, Rehob kho kaawmnaw a pâlei awh hoeh dawkvah,
32 But the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: for they did not drive them out.
Asher miphunnaw teh, Kanaannaw koe kho a sak awh.
33 Neither did Naphtali drive out the inhabitants of Bethshemesh, nor the inhabitants of Bethanath; but he dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: nevertheless the inhabitants of Bethshemesh and of Bethanath became forced labourers to them.
Naphtali miphun ni Bethshemesh kho kaawmnaw, Bethanath kaawmnaw pâlei awh hoeh. Kanaannaw hoi mak kâkalawt lah kho a sak awh. Bethshemesh hoi Bethanathnaw teh, a kut rahim thaw a tawk sak awh.
34 And the Amorites forced the children of Dan to the mountain: for they would not allow them to come down to the valley:
Amornaw nihai, Dannaw teh mon lah a pâlei awh teh, ayawn dawk teh awm sak awh hoeh.
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 forced labourers.
Amornaw teh, Heres, Aijalon hoi Shaalbim vah pou ao awh. Hahoi teh, Joseph miphunnaw a tha ao awh teh, Amornaw a kut rahim thaw a tawk sak awh.
36 And the border of the Amorites was from the ascent to Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward.
Amornaw e khori teh, Akrabbim lah ka takhang niteh, Sela e a lathueng lah pou a cei.
