Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1After the death of Joshua, the children of Israel asked of the LORD, saying, “Who should go up for us first against the Canaanites, to fight against them?”
1Joshua 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.
2The LORD said, “Judah shall go up. Behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.”
2Te dongah BOEIPA loh, “Judah te cet saeh lamtah khohmuen he a kut ah ka paek tangtae coeng ni ke,” a ti nah.
3Judah 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 you into your lot.” So Simeon went with him.
3Te 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.
4Judah went up, and the LORD delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand. They struck ten thousand men in Bezek.
4Judah a luei vaengah BOEIPA loh amih kut ah Kanaan neh Perizzi te a tloeng pah tih Bezek ah hlang thawng rha a tloek uh.
5They found Adoni-Bezek in Bezek, and they fought against him. They struck the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
5Bezek ah Adonibezek te a hmuh uh tih anih te a tloek uh phoeiah Kanaan neh Perizzi te a tloek uh.
6But Adoni-Bezek fled. They pursued him, caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his big toes.
6Adonibezek te rhaelrham van dae a hnukah a hloem uh tih a kae uh vaengah a kut a kho kah kutnu khonu te a tlueh pa uh.
7Adoni-Bezek said, “Seventy kings, having their thumbs and their big toes cut off, scavenged under my table. As I have done, so God has done to me.” They brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
7Te 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.
8The children of Judah fought against Jerusalem, took it, struck it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.
8Judah 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.
9After that, the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites who lived in the hill country, and in the South, and in the lowland.
9Te phoeiah tlang neh tuithim kolrhawk kah aka om Kanaan te tloek ham Judah ca rhoek loh suntla uh.
10Judah went against the Canaanites who lived in Hebron. (The name of Hebron before that was Kiriath Arba.) They struck Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.
10Te 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.
11From there he went against the inhabitants of Debir. (The name of Debir before that was Kiriath Sepher.)
11Te lamloh Debir kah khosa rhoek te a paan uh cet uh. Derbir kah a ming rhuem tah Kiriathsepher ni.
12Caleb said, “I will give Achsah my daughter as wife to the man who strikes Kiriath Sepher, and takes it.”
12Te vaengah Kaleb loh, “Kiriathsepher aka tloek tih aka buem te tah ka canu Akcah te a yuu la ka paek ni,” a ti.
13Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, took it, so he gave him Achsah his daughter as his wife.
13Te dongah Kaleb mana Kenaz capa Othniel loh a buem tih a canu Akcah te a yuu la a paek.
14When she came, she got him to ask her father for a field. She got off her donkey; and Caleb said to her, “What would you like?”
14A 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.
15She said to him, “Give me a blessing; because you have set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water.” Then Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
15Te 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.
16The 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 lived with the people.
16Rhophoe 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.
17Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they struck the Canaanites who inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. The name of the city was called Hormah.
17Te 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.
18Also Judah took Gaza with its border, and Ashkelon with its border, and Ekron with its border.
18Te vaengah Judah loh Gaza neh a khorhi, Ashkelon neh a khorhi, Ekron neh a khorhi te a loh.
19The LORD was with Judah, and drove out the inhabitants of the hill country; for he could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.
19Te 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.
20They gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had said, and he drove the three sons of Anak out of there.
20Moses kah a thui bangla Hebron te Kaleb taengah a paek uh hatah te lamkah Anak ca rhoek pathum te vik a vai.
21The children of Benjamin didn’t drive out the Jebusites who inhabited Jerusalem, but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.
21Jerusalem 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.
22The house of Joseph also went up against Bethel, and the LORD was with them.
22Joseph imko loh Bethel a paan uh vaengah khaw amih te BOEIPA loh a om puei.
23The house of Joseph sent to spy out Bethel. (The name of the city before that was Luz.)
23Lamhma a ming Luz khopuei la aka om Bethel te Joseph imko loh a yaam uh.
24The watchers saw a man come out of the city, and they said to him, “Please show us the entrance into the city, and we will deal kindly with you.”
24Te 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.
25He showed them the entrance into the city, and they struck the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man and all his family go.
25Te 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 sak uh.
26The man went into the land of the Hittites, built a city, and called its name Luz, which is its name to this day.
26Te 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.
27Manasseh didn’t drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shean 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.
27Bethshan 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.
28When Israel had grown strong, they put the Canaanites to forced labor, and didn’t utterly drive them out.
28Israel a om vaengah a moem tih Kanaan te saldong la a khueh tih a haek rhoe a haek moenih.
29Ephraim didn’t drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, but the Canaanites lived in Gezer among them.
29Gezer ah aka om Kanaan te khaw Ephraim loh ana haek pawt dongah Gezer kah Kanaan tah amih lakli ah kho a sak.
30Zebulun didn’t drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites lived among them, and became subject to forced labor.
30Kitron 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.
31Asher didn’t drive out the inhabitants of Acco, nor the inhabitants of Sidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob;
31Akkho kah khosa rhoek, Sidon kah khosa rhoek neh Ahlab, Akhzib, Helbah, Aphek, Rehoh te khaw Asher loh ana haek pawh.
32but the Asherites lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land, for they didn’t drive them out.
32Amih te ana haek pawt dongah khohmuen kah aka om Kanaan lakli ah Asher long khaw kho a sak.
33Naphtali didn’t drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh, nor the inhabitants of Beth Anath; but he lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land. Nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh and of Beth Anath became subject to forced labor.
33Bethshemesh 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.
34The Amorites forced the children of Dan into the hill country, for they would not allow them to come down to the valley;
34Tlang kah Dan ca rhoek te Amori loh la a nen dongah anih te tah kol la suntlak sak ham pae pawh.
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 subject to forced labor.
35Amori 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.
36The border of the Amorites was from the ascent of Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward.
36Amori khorhi he Akrabbim kham lamloh Sela voelh a poeng duela om.
