¹And it came to pass after the death of Joshua that the children of Israel asked Jehovah, saying, Which of us shall go up against the Canaanites first, to fight against them?

¹Huan, Josua sih nungin hichi ahia, Israel suanten, Kanante doua ei adia sual dingin kua ahia va hohtou masa phot peuhmah ding? chiin TOUPA a dong ua.

²And Jehovah said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.

²Huan, TOUPAN, Juda va hoh heh: ngai un, a khut ah gam ka peta hi, a chi a.

³And Judah said to Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my lot, and let us fight against the Canaanites, and I likewise will go with thee into thy lot; and Simeon went with him.

³Huan, Judain a unau Simeon kiangah, Kanante sual ding ka gam tantuam ah hongpai tou samin; kei leng ka gamtantuamah ka hongpai na ding hi, a chi a. Huchiin Simeon a kiangah a hoh teitaa.

⁴And Judah went up; and Jehovah delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand, and they smote them in Bezek, ten thousand men.

⁶Adoni-bezek bel a taia; huchiin a delh ua, a man ua, a khutpi leh a khepi a tansak uh.

⁷And Adoni-Bezek said, Seventy kings, with their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gleaned under my table: as I have done, so God has requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died.

⁷Huan, Adoni-bezekin, kumpipa sawmsagih khutpi leh khepi tan khiakten ka dohkan nuaia anneng a tawm nak ua: ka hihbang geiha Pathianin honthuk eita ve, a chi a. Huan, Jerusalem khua ah a pi ua, huailaiah a sita hi.

⁸And 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.

⁸Huan, Juda suanten, Jerusalem khua a dou ua, a la ua, namsauin a sual ua a khopi a hal uh.

⁹And afterwards 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.

¹²Huan, Kalebin, Kuapeuh Kiriath-sepher khua suala, la peuhmah ka tanu Aksa ji dingin ka neisak ding, a chi a.

¹³And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it; and he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife.

¹⁴And it came to pass as she came, that she urged him to ask of her father the field; and she sprang down from the ass. And Caleb said to her, What wouldest thou?

¹⁵And she said to him, Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a southern land; give me also springs of water. And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.

¹⁹And Jehovah was with Judah; and he took possession of the hill-country, for he did not dispossess the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.

¹⁹Huan, TOUPA Juda kiangah a oma; huchiin tang gama tengte a delh mang veka: guama tengte bel sik kangtalaite a neih jiak un a delh khe theikei hi.

²⁰And they gave to Caleb Hebron, as Moses had said; and he dispossessed from thence the three sons of Anak.

²³And the house of Joseph sent to search out Bethel; now the name of the city before was Luz.

²³Huan, Joseph inkuanten Bethel khua ah enkhemite a sawl uhi. (Amain huai kho min Luz ahi. )

²⁴And the guards saw a man come forth out of the city, and said unto him, Shew us, we pray thee, how [we] may enter into the city, and we will shew thee kindness.

²⁴Huan, enkhemiten mi khat kho sung akipana hongpawt khia a mu ua, a kiangah, Hepih takin khopi sung lutna honensak dih ve, huchiin hoih takin ka honhih na ding uhi, achi ua.

²⁵And he shewed them how to enter into the city. And they smote the city with the edge of the sword; but they let go the man and all his family.

²⁵Huan, khopi sung lutna a ensaka, huchiin namsauin huai khua a sual ua; huai mipa leh a inkuanpihte tengteng bel a hawi uhi.

²⁶And the man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a city, and called its name Luz, which is its name to this day.
