1 And it came to pass after the death of Joshua, that the children of Israel asked of Jehovah, saying, Who shall go up for us first against the Canaanites, to fight against them? 2 And Jehovah said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand. 3 And 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. 4 And Judah went up; and Jehovah delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand: and they smote of them in Bezek ten thousand men. 5 And they found Adoni-bezek in Bezek; and they fought against him, and they smote the Canaanites and the Perizzites. 6 But Adoni-bezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes. 7 And Adoni-bezek said, Threescore and ten kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered their food under my table: as I have done, so God hath requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.

8 And 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. 9 And afterward 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. 10 And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron (now the name of Hebron beforetime was Kiriath-arba); and they smote Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.

11 And from thence he went against the inhabitants of Debir. (Now the name of Debir beforetime was Kiriath-sepher.) 12 And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kiriath-sepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife. 13 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife. 14 And it came to pass, when she came unto him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she alighted from off her ass; and Caleb said unto her, What wouldest thou? 15 And she said unto him, Give me a blessing; for that thou hast set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water. And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the nether springs.

16 And the 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 dwelt with the people. 17 And Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they smote the Canaanites that inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. And the name of the city was called Hormah. 18 Also Judah took Gaza with the border thereof, and Ashkelon with the border thereof, and Ekron with the border thereof. 19 And Jehovah 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. 20 And they gave Hebron unto Caleb, as Moses had spoken: and he drove out thence the three sons of Anak. 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 unto this day.

22 And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Beth-el; and Jehovah was with them. 23 And the house of Joseph sent to spy out Beth-el. (Now the name of the city beforetime was Luz.) 24 And the watchers saw a man come forth out of the city, and they said unto him, Show us, we pray thee, the entrance into the city, and we will deal kindly with thee. 25 And he showed them the entrance into the city; and they smote the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man go and all his family. 26 And 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.

27 And Manasseh did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shean and its towns, nor of 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. 28 And it came to pass, when Israel was waxed strong, that they put the Canaanites to taskwork, and did not utterly drive them out.

29 And Ephraim drove not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.

30 Zebulun drove not out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became subject to taskwork.

31 Asher drove not 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; 32 but the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; for they did not drive them out.

33 Naphtali drove not 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 subject to taskwork.

34 And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the hill-country; for they would not suffer them to come down to the valley; 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 subject to taskwork. 36 And the border of the Amorites was from the ascent of Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward.

1 A, i muri iho i te matenga o Hohua, na ka ui nga tamariki a Iharaira ki a Ihowa, ka mea, Ko wai e matua haere mo matou ki runga ki nga Kanaani ki te whawhai ki a ratou?

2 Na ka mea a Ihowa, Ko Hura e haere: nana, kua hoatu e ahau te whenua ki tona ringa.

3 Na ka mea a Hura ki a Himiona ki tona tuakana, Hoake taua ki toku wahi, kia whawhai ai taua ki nga Kanaani; a ka haere ai hoki ahau i a koe ki tou wahi. Na haere ana raua ko Himiona.

4 A, ko te haerenga atu o Hura, ka homai e Ihowa nga Kanaani me nga Perihi ki o ratou ringa, a patua iho o ratou ki Peheke kotahi tekau mano tangata.

5 I rokohanga ano a Aronipeheke ki Peheke, a whawhai ana ki a ia, a patua iho nga Kanaani me nga Perihi.

6 Na ka rere a Aronipeheke, a whaia ana e ratou, a ka mau, na tapahia ana nga koromatua o ona ringa, o ona waewae.

7 Na ka mea a Aronipeheke, E whitu tekau nga kingi, he mea tapahi nga koromatua o o ratou ringa, o o ratou waewae, i kohi kai i raro i taku tepu: ko taku i mea ai, kua whakahokia mai e te Atua ki ahau. Na ka kawea ia ki Hiruharama, a mate iho ki re ira.

8 I tauria hoki a Hiruharama e nga tamariki a Hura, a horo ana i a ratou, patua iho e ratou ki te mata o te hoari, tahuna ake hoki e ratou te pa ki te ahi.

9 A muri iho ka haere ki raro nga tamariki a Hura ki te whawhai ki nga Kanaani i noho i te whenua pukepuke i te tonga, i te mania.

10 Na haere ana a Hura, whawhai ana ki nga Kanaani i noho ki Heperona: na, ko te ingoa o Heperona i mua ko Kiriata Arapa: patua iho e ratou a Hehai, a Ahimana, ratou ko Taramai.

11 Na ka haere atu ia i reira, ka whawhai kinga tangata o Repiri; a, ko te ingoa o Repiri i mua ko Kiriata Hepere:

12 Na ka mea a Karepe, Ko te tangata e patua ai a Kiriata Hepere, a e horo ai, ka hoatu e ahau taku tamahine, a Akaha hei wahine mana.

13 Na ka horo i a Otoniere tama a Kenaha teina o Karepe, a hoatu ana e ia tana tamahine, a Akaha hei wahine mana.

14 A, no taenga atu o taua wahine ki a ia, ka whakakiki i a ia kia tonoa he mara i tona papa; a ka marere iho ia ki raro i tona kaihe; na ka mea a Karepe ki a ia, He aha tau?

15 Na ka mea ia ki a ia, Homai he manaakitanga moku, kei te tonga hoki te whenua i homai e koe moku; homai ano hoki etahi puna wai moku. Na hoatu ana e Karepe ki a ia nga puna o runga me nga puna o raro.

16 Na ka haere nga tamariki a te Keni, a te hungawai o Mohi, i te pa nikau, ratou ko nga tamariki a Hura, ki te koraha o Hura, ki te tonga o Arara, a haere ana, noho ana i roto i te iwi.

17 Na ka haere a Hura raua ko tona tuakana ko Himiona, a patua iho e ratou nga Kanaani i noho i Hepata, whakangaromia iho; na reira i huaina ai te ingoa o taua pa, ko Horema.

18 A i riro ano i a Hura a Kaha me tona rohe, a Ahakerono me tona rohe, a Ekerono me tona rohe.

19 A i a Hura a Ihowa, a peia atu ana e ia nga tangata o te whenua pukepuke; otiia kihai i taea e ia te pei nga tangata o te mania; no te mea he hariata rino a ratou.

20 I hoatu ano e ratou a Heperona ki a Karepe, i pera me ta Mohi i korero ai: a peia atu ana e ia i reira nga tama tokotoru a Anaka.

21 Ko nga Iepuhi ia i noho ki Hiruharama, kihai i peia atu e nga tamariki a Pineamine, na noho ana te Iepuhi i roto i nga tamariki a Pineamine ki Hiruharama a taea noatia tenei ra.

22 Me te whare ano o Hohepa, i haere atu ki te whawhai ki Peteere, a i a ratou a Ihowa.

23 A i tuteia a Peteere e te whare o Hohepa. Na, ko te ingoa o taua pa i mua ko Rutu.

24 Na ka kitea e nga kaiwhanga tetahi tangata e puta mai ana i te pa, a ka mea ki a ia, Tena, whakaaturia ki a matou te tomokanga atu ki te pa, a ka puta ta matou koha ki a koe.

25 Katahi ka whakaaturia e ia ki a ratou te tomokanga atu ki te pa, a patua iho e ratou te pa ki te mata o te hoari; ko taua tangata ia ratou ko tona hapu katoa i tukua atu e ratou.

26 Na haere ana taua tangata ki te whenua o nga Hiti, a hanga ana tetahi pa e ia, huaina iho te ingoa ko Rutu: ko tona ingoa ano tena a taea noatia tenei ra.

27 Otiia kihai i peia e Manahi nga tangata o Peteheana me ona pa ririki, o Taanaka me ona pa ririki, nga tangata ano hoki o Roro, o ona pa ririki, nga tangata o Ipireama, o ona pa ririki, nga tangata o Mekiro, o ona pa ririki: heoi ka mea nga Kanaa ni kia noho ki taua whenua.

28 A, no ka kaha haere a Iharaira, ka meinga e ratou nga Kanaani hei kaihomai takoha, kihai hoki ratou i peia rawatia atu.

29 Kihai ano hoki a Eparaima i pei atu i nga Kanaani i noho ki Ketere: heoi noho ana nga Kanaani ki Ketere i waenganui i a ratou.

30 Kihai a Hepurona i pei atu i nga tangata o Kitirono; i nga tangata ano hoki o Naharoro: heoi ka noho nga Kanaani i waenganui i a ratou, a meinga ana hei kaihomai takoha.

31 Kihai a Ahera i pei atu i nga tangata o Ako, i nga tangata ranei o Hairona, o Aharapa, o Akatipi, o Herepa, o Apiki, o Rehopo;

32 Na ka noho nga Aheri ki waenganui o nga Kanaani, o nga tangata whenua; no te mea kihai ratou i pei atu i a ratou.

33 Kihai a Napatari i pei atu i nga tangata o Petehemehe, i nga tangata hoki o Peteanata; heoi noho ana ia i waenganui o nga Kanaani, o nga tangata whenua: otiia i meinga nga tangata o Petehemehe, o Peteanata, hei kaihomai takoha ki a ratou.

34 Na i akina atu e nga Amori nga tamariki a Rana ki te whenua pukepuke: kihai hoki ratou i tukua kia heke ki te mania.

35 Heoi ka mea nga Amori kia noho ki Maunga Herehe, ki Aitarono, ki Haarapimi: otiia i kaha ano te ringa o te whare o Hohepa, a ka meinga ratou hei kaihomai takoha.

36 Na ko te rohe ki nga Amori kei te pinakitanga ki Akarapimi; kei te kamaka a ahu whakarunga.
