Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Now 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?
1Pea 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?”
2And the LORD said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.
2Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova, “Ke ʻalu hake ʻa Siuta: vakai, kuo u tukuange ʻae fonua ki hono nima.”
3And 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.
3Pea 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.
4And 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.
4Pea 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.
5And they found Adoni-bezek in Bezek: and they fought against him, and they slew the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
5Pea naʻa nau ʻilo ʻa ʻAtoni-Piseki ʻi Piseki: pea naʻa nau tauʻi ia, pea naʻa nau tāmateʻi ʻae kau Kēnani mo e kau Pelesi.
6But Adoni-bezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.
6Ka naʻe hola ʻa ʻAtoni-Piseki; pea naʻa nau tuli ʻo maʻu ia, ʻonau tutuʻu hono ongo motuʻa nima mo hono motuʻa vaʻe.
7And 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 there he died.
7Pea 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.
8Now 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.
8Pea 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¶ And afterward the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites, that dwelt in the mountain, and in the south, and in the valley.
9¶ 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.
10And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron: (now the name of Hebron before was Kirjath-arba:) and they slew Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.
10Pea 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.
11And from thence he went against the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before was Kirjath-sepher:
11Pea naʻe ʻalu mei ai ia ke tauʻi ʻae kakai ʻo Tipa: pea ko hono hingoa muʻa ʻo Tipa, ko Kesa-Sefa:
12And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjath-sepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.
12Pea 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.”
13And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.
13Pea 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.
14And it came to pass, when she came to him , that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she lighted from off her ass; and Caleb said unto her, What wilt thou?
14Pea 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?
15And she said unto 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 nether springs.
15Pea 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 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.
16¶ 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.
17And 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.
17Pea 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.
18Also Judah took Gaza with the coast thereof, and Askelon with the coast thereof, and Ekron with the coast thereof.
18Pea 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.
19And the LORD was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.
19Pea 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.
20And they gave Hebron unto Caleb, as Moses said: and he expelled thence the three sons of Anak.
20Pea 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.
21And the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites that inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem unto this day.
21Pea 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¶ And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Beth-el: and the LORD was with them.
22¶ Pea ko e fale ʻo Siosefa, naʻe ʻalu hake foki ʻakinautolu ke tauʻi ʻa Peteli pea naʻe ʻiate kinautolu ʻa Sihova.
23And the house of Joseph sent to descry Beth-el. (Now the name of the city before was Luz.)
23Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he fale ʻo Siosefa ke vakaiʻi ʻa Peteli: (Pea ko hono hingoa ʻi muʻa ʻoe kolo ko Lusa.)
24And the spies 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 shew thee mercy.
24Pea 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.”
25And when he shewed 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.
25Pea 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.
26And 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.
26Pea 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 drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shean and her towns, nor 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.
27¶ 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.
28And it came to pass, when Israel was strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute, and did not utterly drive them out.
28Pea 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¶ Neither did Ephraim drive out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.
29¶ 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 drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became tributaries.
30¶ 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 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:
31¶ 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:
32But the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: for they did not drive them out.
32Ka 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 drive 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 tributaries unto them.
33¶ 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.
34And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the mountain: for they would not suffer them to come down to the valley:
34Pea 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.
35But 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 tributaries.
35Ka 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.
36And the coast of the Amorites was from the going up to Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward.
36Pea ko hono ngataʻanga ʻoe fonua ʻoe kau ʻAmoli naʻe fai mei he ʻalu hake ki ʻAkilapime, mei he makatuʻu ʻo mole hake.
