¹It happened after the death of Joshua, the children of Israel asked of Yahweh, “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “LORD” (all caps) in other translations. saying, “Who should go up for us first against the Canaanites, to fight against them?”

¹Markii Yashuuca dhintay dabadeed ayay reer binu Israa'iil Rabbiga weyddiiyeen, oo yidhaahdeen, Yaa marka hore xagga reer Kancaan noo hor kici doona oo noo dagaal geli doona?

²Yahweh said, “Judah shall go up. Behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.”

²Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu ku yidhi, Reer Yahuudah ha baxeen, oo anna dalka gacantoodaan geliyey.

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.

³Markaasaa reer Yahuudah waxay ku yidhaahdeen walaalahood reer Simecoon, Kaalaya oo markayaga na raaca aynu la dagaallanno reer Kancaane; oo annana sidaas oo kale markiinnaan idin raaci doonnaaye. Markaasay reer Simecoon raaceen.

⁴Judah went up; and Yahweh delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand: and they struck of them in Bezek ten thousand men.

⁴Kolkaasay reer Yahuudah tageen, oo Rabbiguna wuxuu gacantoodii geliyey reer Kancaan iyo reer Feris, oo waxay Beseq kaga laayeen toban kun oo nin.

⁵They found Adoni-Bezek in Bezek; and they fought against him, and they struck the Canaanites and the Perizzites.

⁵Oo waxay Beseq ka heleen Adonii Beseq, oo way la dagaallameen, oo waxay laayeen reer Kancaan iyo reer Feris.

⁶But Adoni-Bezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.

⁶Laakiinse Adonii Beseq waa cararay, oo iyana way eryoodeen, wayna qabteen isagii, oo waxay ka gooyeen suulashiisii gacmaha iyo kuwiisii lugaha.

⁷Adoni-Bezek said, “Seventy kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, scavenged under my table: as I have done, so God The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “Elohim.” has requited me.” They brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.

⁷Markaasaa Adonii Beseq wuxuu yidhi, Toddobaatan boqor oo suulashoodii gacmaha iyo kuwoodii lugahu ka go'an yihiin ayaa cuntadooda ka urursan jiray miiskayga hoostiisa; oo sidii aan yeelay ayaa Rabbigu ii abaal mariyey. Markaasay isagii keeneen Yeruusaalem, oo halkaasuu ku dhintay.

⁸The children of Judah fought against Jerusalem, and took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.

⁸Oo Reer Yahuudah waxay la dirireen reer Yeruusaalem, oo intay magaaladii qabsadeen ayay dadkeedii ku laayeen seef, magaaladiina dab bay qabadsiiyeen.

⁹Afterward 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.

⁹Oo dabadeedna reer Yahuudah waxay u kaceen inay la diriraan reer Kancaankii degganaa dalkii buuraha lahaa, iyo kuwii xagga koonfureed, iyo kuwii degganaa dalkii dooxada ahaa.

¹⁰Judah went against the Canaanites who lived in Hebron (now the name of Hebron before was Kiriath Arba); and they struck Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.

¹⁰Oo reer Yahuudah waxay ku duuleen dadkii reer Kancaan oo degganaa Xebroon, (oo waagii hore Xebroon magaceeda waxaa la odhan jiray Qiryad Arbac), oo waxay laayeen Sheeshay iyo Axiiman iyo Talmay.

¹¹From there he went against the inhabitants of Debir. (Now the name of Debir before was Kiriath Sepher.)

¹¹Oo intay halkaas ka tageen ayay dadkii degganaa Debiir ku duuleen. (Oo waagii hore Debiir magaceedu wuxuu ahaa Qiryad Sefer).

¹²Caleb said, “He who strikes Kiriath Sepher, and takes it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter as wife.”

¹²Markaasaa Kaaleeb wuxuu yidhi, Kii la dirira Qiryad Sefer oo qabsada, kaas waxaan u guurin doonaa gabadhayda Caksaah.

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

¹³Markaasaa Cotnii'eel ina Qenas, kaasoo ahaa Kaaleeb walaalkiisii yaraa, magaaladii qabsaday; markaasuu wuxuu u guuriyey gabadhiisii Caksaah.

¹⁴It happened, when she came, that she got him to ask her father for a field: and she alighted from off her donkey; and Caleb said to her, “What would you like?”

¹⁴Oo markay u timid ayay kula talisay inuu aabbeheed berrin ka baryo; markaasay dameerkeedii ka soo degtay, oo Kaaleeb wuxuu ku yidhi iyadii, Maxaad doonaysaa?

¹⁵She said to him, “Give me a blessing; for that 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.

¹⁵Markaasay ku tidhi, Ii ducee, oo waxaad i siisaa ilo biyo ah, maxaa yeelay, waxaad i siisay dalkii koonfureed. Kolkaasaa Kaaleeb wuxuu siiyey ilihii sare iyo kuwii hooseba.

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.

¹⁶Markaasay kii reer Qeyn oo ahaa Muuse seeddigiis reerkiisii ka tageen magaaladii lahayd geedaha timirta ah, oo waxay reer Yahuudah u raaceen xagga cidladii reer Yahuudah taasoo ku taal Caraad xaggeeda koonfureed; oo intay tageen ayay dadkii la degeen.

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.

¹⁷Oo reer Yahuudahna waxay raaceen walaalahood reer Simecoon, oo waxay laayeen reer Kancaan oo Sefad degganaa, oo dhammaanteedna way baabbi'iyeen. Oo magaaladii magaceediina waxaa la odhan jiray Xormaah.

¹⁸Also Judah took Gaza with its border, and Ashkelon with its border, and Ekron with its border.

¹⁸Oo reer Yahuudah waxay qabsadeen haddana Gaasa iyo xuduudkeedii, iyo Ashqeloon iyo xuduudkeedii, iyo Ceqroon iyo xuduudkeedii.

¹⁹Yahweh 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.

¹⁹Oo Rabbigu waa la jiray reer Yahuudah, oo wuxuu hortooda ka eryay dadkii degganaa dalkii buuraha lahaa; maxaa yeelay, ma ay eryi karin dadkii dooxadii degganaa, waayo, waxay lahaayeen gaadhifardood bir ah.

²⁰They gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had spoken: and he drove out there the three sons of Anak.

²⁰Oo markaasay Xebroon siiyeen Kaaleeb, sidii Muuse markii hore u sheegay; oo halkaas wuxuu ka eryay Canaaq saddexdiisii wiil.

²¹The children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.

²¹Oo reer Benyaamiin ma ay eryin dadkii reer Yebuus oo Yeruusaalem degganaa; laakiinse reer Yebuus waxay Yeruusaalem la degganaayeen reer Benyaamiin ilaa maantadan la joogo.

²²The house of Joseph, they also went up against Bethel; and Yahweh was with them.

²²Oo reer Yuusufna waxay ku kaceen Beytel; oo Rabbiguna wuu la jiray iyagii.

²³The house of Joseph sent to spy out Bethel. (Now the name of the city before was Luz.)

²³Oo reer Yuusufna waxay Beytel u direen ilaallo soo basaasta. (Magaaladaas markii hore waxaa magaceeda la odhan jiray Luus.)

²⁴The watchers saw a man come forth out of the city, and they said to him, “Please show us the entrance into the city, and we will deal kindly with you.”

²⁴Markaasaa ilaaladii waxay arkeen nin magaalada ka soo baxaya, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Waannu ku baryaynaaye, na tus iridda magaalada laga galo, oo annaguna wanaag baannu kuu falaynaa.

²⁵He showed them the entrance into the city; and they struck the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man go and all his family.

²⁵Markaasuu iyagii tusay iriddii magaalada laga geli jiray, oo waxay dadkii magaalada ku laayeen seef, laakiinse ninkii iyo xaaskiisii oo dhanba way iska sii daayeen.

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

²⁶Markaasaa ninkii wuxuu tegey dalkii reer Xeed, oo halkaasuu magaalo ka dhisay, oo magaceediina wuxuu u bixiyey Luus, kaasoo ah magaceeda ilaa maantadan la joogo.

²⁷Manasseh did not 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.

²⁷Oo reer Manasehna ma ay eryin dadkii degganaa Beytshe'aan iyo magaalooyinkeedii, ama kuwii Tacanaag iyo magaalooyinkeedii, ama dadkii degganaa Door iyo magaalooyinkeedii, ama dadkii degganaa Yiblecaam iyo magaalooyinkeedii, ama dadkii degganaa Megiddoo iyo magaalooyinkeedii, laakiinse reer Kancaan waxay doonayeen inay dalkaas degganaadaan.

²⁸It happened, when Israel had grown strong, that they put the Canaanites to forced labor, and did not utterly drive them out.

²⁸Oo markii ay reer binu Israa'iil xoogaysteen ayay reer Kancaan addoonsadeen oo mana ay wada eryin.

²⁹Ephraim didn’t drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer; but the Canaanites lived in Gezer among them.

²⁹Oo reer Efrayimna ma ay eryin dadkii reer Kancaan oo degganaa Geser; laakiinse reer Kancaan iyagay la degganaayeen Geser.

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.

³⁰Oo reer Sebulunna ma ay eryin dadkii degganaa Qitroon, iyo dadkii degganaa Nahalaal, laakiinse reer Kancaan waxay degganaayeen iyaga dhexdooda, oo addoommo ayay u noqdeen.

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;

³¹Oo reer Aasheerna ma ay eryin dadkii degganaa Cakoo, ama dadkii degganaa Siidoon, ama kuwii Axlaab, ama kuwii Aksiib, ama kuwii Xelbaah, ama kuwii Afiiq, ama kuwii Rexob.

³²but the Asherites lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; for they did not drive them out.

³²Laakiinse reer Aasheer waxay dhex degganaayeen reer Kancaan oo ahaa dadkii dalka degganaa, maxaa yeelay, iyagu ma ay eryin.

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.

³³Oo reer Naftaalina ma ay eryin dadkii degganaa Beytshemesh ama dadkii degganaa Beytcanaad; laakiinse wuxuu degganaa reer Kancaan dhexdooda, kuwaasoo ahaa dadkii dalka degganaa; habase yeeshee dadkii degganaa Beytshemesh iyo Beytcanaad addoommo ayaa u noqdeen iyaga.

³⁴The Amorites forced the children of Dan into the hill country; for they would not allow them to come down to the valley;

³⁴Markaasaa reer Amor waxay ku dirqiyeen reer Daan dalkii buuraha ahaa, maxaa yeelay, ma ay u oggolaan inay u soo degaan xagga dooxada.

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.

³⁵Laakiinse reer Amor waxay doonayeen inay degganaadaan Buur Xeres oo ku taal Ayaaloon iyo Shacalbiim; laakiinse waxaa ka adkaatay gacantii reer Yuusuf, oo sidaas daraaddeed addoommo ayay u noqdeen.Oo xuduudkii reer Amorna wuxuu ka bilaabmayay meesha laga koro Caqrabbiim marka laga bilaabo Selac iyo inta ka sarraysa.

³⁶The border of the Amorites was from the ascent of Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward.

³⁶Oo xuduudkii reer Amorna wuxuu ka bilaabmayay meesha laga koro Caqrabbiim marka laga bilaabo Selac iyo inta ka sarraysa.
