1 Israel kaminawk loe Angraeng mikhnukah kasae hmuen to sak o let bae; to pongah Angraeng mah nihcae to saning sarihto thung Midian kaminawk ban ah paek.

And the sons of Israel do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and Jehovah giveth them into the hand of Midian seven years,

2 Midian kaminawk mah Israelnawk to pazawk moe, pacaekthlaek pongah, Israel kaminawk loe abuephaih akhaw hoi thlungkhaw to mae taengah sak o.

and the hand of Midian is strong against Israel, from the presence of Midian have the sons of Israel made for themselves the flowings which [are] in the mountains, and the caves, and the strongholds.

3 Israel kaminawk mah caak koi hmuen patit o naah, Midian kaminawk, Amalek kaminawk hoi ni angyae bang ih kaminawk to angzoh o moe, phraek pae o king.

And it hath been, if Israel hath sowed, that Midian hath come up, and Amalek, and the sons of the east, yea, they have come up against him,

4 Lawk ah khosak pae o moe, lawk ah patit ih hmuennawk boih, Gaza karoek to paro pae o king; Israel kaminawk mah caak o hanah, tuu, maitaw hoi hrangnawk doeh pathlung pae o ai.

and encamp against them, and destroy the increase of the land till thine entering Gaza; and they leave no sustenance in Israel, either sheep, or ox, or ass;

5 Nihcae loe pacah ih moinawk, kahninawk to phawh o moe, kroek laek ai kangpoeng pakhuhnawk baktiah a caeh o; kaminawk hoi kaengkuu hrangnawk loe kroek laek ai khoek to pop o; Israel prae paro hanah angzoh o.

for they and their cattle come up, with their tents; they come in as the fulness of the locust for multitude, and of them and of their cattle there is no number, and they come into the land to destroy it.

6 Israel kaminawk loe Midian kaminawk pongah paroeai amtang o; to naah Angraeng khaeah hang o.

And Israel is very weak from the presence of Midian, and the sons of Israel cry unto Jehovah.

7 Midan kaminawk mah pacaekthlaek o pongah, Israel kaminawk mah Angraeng khaeah hang o naah,

And it cometh to pass when the sons of Israel have cried unto Jehovah, concerning Midian,

8 Angraeng mah, nihcae khaeah tahmaa maeto patoeh pae; tahmaa mah nihcae khaeah, Israel Angraeng Sithaw mah, Misong ah ohhaih ahmuen, Izip prae hoiah nangcae to kang zaeh.

that Jehovah sendeth a man, a prophet, unto the sons of Israel, and he saith to them, 'Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, I — I have brought you up out of Egypt, and I bring you out from a house of servants,

9 Izip kaminawk ban hoi nangcae pacaekthlaek kaminawk ban thung hoiah kang loih o sak; na hmaa ah nihcae to kang haek pae o moe, nihcae ih prae to kang paek o.

and I deliver you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all your oppressors, and I cast them out from your presence, and I give to you their land,

10 Kai mah nangcae khaeah, Kai loe na Angraeng Sithaw ah ka oh; na oh o haih prae ih Amor kaminawk ih sithawnawk to zii o hmah, tiah ka thuih pae; toe ka lok na tahngai o ai, tiah a naa.

and I say to you, I [am] Jehovah your God, ye do not fear the gods of the Amorite in whose land ye are dwelling: — and ye have not hearkened to My voice.'

11 Angraeng ih van kami maeto angzoh moe, Oprah vang ah kaom Abiezer acaeng Joash ih thing kamtaak tlim ah anghnut; to naah a capa Gideon loe Midian kaminawk mah hnuk han ai ah, misurtui pasawhhaih ahmuen taengah cang to atit.

And the messenger of Jehovah cometh and sitteth under the oak which [is] in Ophrah, which [is] to Joash the Abi-Ezrite, and Gideon his son is beating out wheat in the wine-press, to remove [it] from the presence of the Midianites;

12 Angraeng ih van kami Gideon khaeah angphong moe, anih khaeah, Misatuk thacak kami, Angraeng loe nang hoi nawnto oh, tiah a naa.

and the messenger of Jehovah appeareth unto him, and saith unto him, 'Jehovah [is] with thee, O mighty one of valour.'

13 Toe Gideon mah anih khaeah, Aw ka Angraeng, Angraeng mah kaicae om thuih nahaeloe, tipongah hae baktih hmuen hae ka tong o loe? Angraeng mah kaicae hae Izip prae thung hoiah ang zaeh, tiah kam panawk mah thuih o ih lok baktih toengah sak ih, dawnrai hmuennawk to naah maw oh boih boeh? Toe vaihi loe Angraeng mah kaicae hae pahnawt moe, kaicae hae Midian kaminawk ban ah paek boeh, tiah a naa.

And Gideon saith unto him, 'O, my lord — and Jehovah is with us! — and why hath all this found us? and where [are] all His wonders which our fathers recounted to us, saying, Hath not Jehovah brought us up out of Egypt? and now Jehovah hath left us, and doth give us into the hand of Midian.'

14 Angraeng mah anih to khet moe, Na tawnh ih thacakhaih hoiah caeh ah, Midian kaminawk ban thung hoiah Israel kaminawk to na pahlong tih; kai mah kang patoeh boeh na ai maw? tiah a naa.

And Jehovah turneth unto him and saith, 'Go in this — thy power; and thou hast saved Israel out of the hand of Midian — have not I sent thee.'

15 Gideon mah anih khaeah, Aw ka Angraeng, Israel kaminawk to kawbangmaw ka pahlong thai han? Khenah, Manasseh acaeng thungah kainawk cakawh loe kam tang o; kai loe kam pa imthung ah kathoeng koek ah ka oh, tiah a naa.

And he saith unto him, 'O, my lord, wherewith do I save Israel? lo, my chief [is] weak in Manasseh, and I the least in the house of my father.'

16 Angraeng mah anih khaeah, Kang oh thuih han hmang, kami maeto hum baktiah, Midian kaminawk to na hum tih, tiah a naa.

And Jehovah saith unto him, 'Because I am with thee — thou hast smitten the Midianites as one man.'

17 Gideon mah, Na mikcuk naakrak ah ka oh nahaeloe, nang thuih ih lok loe tangtang ni, tiah ka panoek thai hanah, angmathaih na paek ah.

And he saith unto Him, 'If, I pray Thee, I have found grace in Thine eyes, then Thou hast done for me a sign that Thou art speaking with me.

18 Na hmaa ah patoem hanah, tangqum to ka sinh moe, kang zo let ai karoek to hae ah om raeh, tiah a naa. To naah Angraeng mah, Nam laem let karoek to kang zing han hmang, tiah a naa.

Move not, I pray Thee, from this, till my coming in unto Thee, and I have brought out my present, and put it before Thee;' and he saith, 'I — I do abide till thy return.'

19 Gideon loe im ah caeh moe, maeh caa maeto a boh; a thongh pacoengah, takaw ephah maeto a lak moe, taeh thuh ai ih takaw to a sak; benthang pongah moi to pacaeng moe, atui to laom pongah a suek; anih hanah thing tahlip ah sin pae moe, a paek.

And Gideon hath gone in, and prepareth a kid of the goats, and of an ephah of flour unleavened things; the flesh he hath put in a basket, and the broth he hath put in a pot, and he bringeth out unto Him, unto the place of the oak, and bringeth [it] nigh.

20 Sithaw ih van kami mah anih khaeah, Taeh thuh ai ih takaw hoi moi to lah loe, hae thlung nuiah suem ah; to pacoengah atui hoi bawh ah, tiah a naa. A thuih ih lok baktih toengah a sak.

And the messenger of God saith unto him, 'Take the flesh and the unleavened things, and place on this rock — and the broth pour out;' and he doth so.

21 Angraeng ih van kami mah moi hoi taeh thuh ai ih takaw to, a ban ih cung tadong hoiah sui; to naah thlung hoiah hmai to angqong moe, moi hoi taeh thuh ai ih takaw to hmai mah kangh. To pacoengah Angraeng ih van kami to anghmat ving.

And the messenger of Jehovah putteth forth the end of the staff which [is] in His hand, and cometh against the flesh, and against the unleavened things, and the fire goeth up out of the rock and consumeth the flesh and the unleavened things — and the messenger of Jehovah hath gone from his eyes.

22 Angraeng ih van kami ni, tiah Gideon mah panoek naah, Aw Angraeng Sithaw, Angraeng ih van kami to mikhmai kangtong ah ka hnuk boeh, tiah a thuih.

And Gideon seeth that He [is] a messenger of Jehovah, and Gideon saith, 'Alas, Lord Jehovah! because that I have seen a messenger of Jehovah face to face!'

23 Angraeng mah anih khaeah, Nang khaeah monghaih om nasoe, zii hmah, na dueh mak ai, tiah a naa.

And Jehovah saith to him, 'Peace to thee; fear not; thou dost not die.'

24 To pongah Gideon mah to ahmuen ah Angraeng hanah hmaicam maeto sak moe, Jehovah Shalom, tiah ahmin sak. Hmaicam loe vaihni ni khoek to Abiezer kaminawk ih Ophrah ah oh.

And Gideon buildeth there an altar to Jehovah, and calleth it Jehovah-Shalom, unto this day it [is] yet in Ophrah of the Abi-Ezrites.

25 To na ni qum ah Angraeng mah anih khaeah, Nam pa ih maitaw tae kanawk hnetto lah loe, saning sarihto kaom hnetto haih maitaw tae to la ah; nam pa mah sak ih Baal hmaicam to phraeh loe, a taeng ih Asherah tung to pakhruh ah.

And it cometh to pass, on that night, that Jehovah saith to him, 'Take the young ox which [is] to thy father, and the second bullock of seven years, and thou hast thrown down the altar of Baal which [is] to thy father, and the shrine which [is] by it thou dost cut down,

26 Hae lungsong nuiah na Angraeng Sithaw hanah hmaicam to sah ah; hnetto haih maitaw tae to lah loe, na pakhruk ih Asherah thing hoiah hmai angbawnhaih to sah ah, tiah a naa.

and thou hast built an altar to Jehovah thy God on the top of this stronghold, by the arrangement, and hast taken the second bullock, and caused to ascend a burnt-offering with the wood of the shrine which thou cuttest down.'

27 To pongah Gideon mah a tamna kami hato kawk moe, Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah a sak; toe angmah ih imthung takoh hoi avang thung ih kaminawk to a zit pongah, khodai ah sah ai, khoving ah ni a sak.

And Gideon taketh ten men of his servants, and doth as Jehovah hath spoken unto him, and it cometh to pass, because he hath been afraid of the house of his father, and the men of the city, to do [it] by day, that he doth [it] by night.

28 Khawnbang khawnthaw ah vangpui ih kaminawk angthawk o naah loe, khenah, Baal hmaicam loe amro moe, a taengah kaom Asherah tung doeh pakhruk ving ah oh boeh; to ih Asherah tung thing hoiah hmaicam kangtha nuiah, hnetto haih maitaw tae hoi sak ih hmai angbawnhaih to a hnuk o.

And the men of the city rise early in the morning, and lo, broken down hath been the altar of Baal, and the shrine which is by it hath been cut down, and the second bullock hath been offered on the altar which is built.

29 Hae tiah hmuen sah kami loe mi maw? tiah maeto hoi maeto angdueng o. Nihcae mah dueng o naah, Joash capa Gideon mah sak, tiah thuih pae o.

And they say one to another, 'Who hath done this thing?' and they inquire and seek, and they say, 'Gideon son of Joash hath done this thing.'

30 Vangpui thung ih kaminawk mah, Joash khaeah, Na capa to hae ah na hoiah; a duek han oh; anih mah ni Baal hmaicam hae phraek moe, a taeng ih Asherah tung doeh pakhruk, tiah a naa o.

And the men of the city say unto Joash, 'Bring out thy son, and he dieth, because he hath broken down the altar of Baal, and because he hath cut down the shrine which [is] by it.'

31 Toe Joash mah anih palungphui thuih kaminawk boih khaeah, Baal ih tok maw na sak o moe, anih maw na pahlong o han? Anih ih toksah kami loe akhawn bang atue laem ai naah dueh nasoe! Baal hae sithaw tangtang ah om nahaeloe, a hmaicam to kami maeto mah phraek ving boeh pongah, Baal angmah lu la nasoe, tiah a naa.

And Joash saith to all who have stood against him, 'Ye, do ye plead for Baal? ye — do ye save him? he who pleadeth for him is put to death during the morning; if he [is] a god he himself doth plead against him, because he hath broken down his altar.'

32 Gideon mah Baal ih hmaicam to phraek moe, Anih to Baal mah lu la nasoe, tiah thuih pongah, to na niah Joash mah Gideon to Jerub-Baal, tiah ahmin paek.

And he calleth him, on that day, Jerubbaal, saying, 'The Baal doth plead against him, because he hath broken down his altar.'

33 To naah Midian, Amalek hoi ni angyae bang ih kaminawk boih maeto ah amkhueng o moe, Jordan vapui yaeh ih, Jezreel azawn ah atai o.

And all Midian and Amalek and the sons of the east have been gathered together, and pass over, and encamp in the valley of Jezreel,

34 To naah Gideon nuiah Angraeng ih Muithla to oh; anih mah mongkah to ueng naah, Abiezer kaminawk anih hnukah bang o.

and the Spirit of Jehovah hath clothed Gideon, and he bloweth with a trumpet, and Abi-Ezer is called after him;

35 Manasseh kaminawk boih khaeah laicaeh to patoeh, to naah Manasseh kaminawk anih hnukah bang o; to pacoengah Asher, Zebulun hoi Naphtali kaminawk khaeah doeh laicaeh to patoeh; nihcae doeh a hnukah caeh o toeng.

and messengers he hath sent into all Manasseh, and it also is called after him; and messengers he hath sent into Asher, and into Zebulun, and into Naphtali, and they come up to meet them.

36 Gideon mah Sithaw khaeah, Na thuih ih lok baktih toengah, ka ban hoiah Israel kaminawk to na pahlong han nahaeloe,

And Gideon saith unto God, 'If Thou art Saviour of Israel by my hand, as Thou hast spoken,

37 khenah, tuumui khukbuen to cang atithaih ahmuen ah ka baih han; tuumui sak ih khukbuen nui khue ah dantui to krah moe, long to phui nahaeloe, na thuih ih lok baktih toengah, ka ban hoiah Israel kaminawk to ka pahlong tih, tiah ka panoek han, tiah a naa.

lo, I am placing the fleece of wool in the threshing-floor: if dew is on the fleece alone, and on all the earth drought — then I have known that Thou dost save Israel by my hand, as Thou hast spoken;'

38 To tiah hmuen to oh tangtang; Gideon loe khawnbang khawnthaw ah angthawk meo, tuumui khukbuen to a lak, dantui to pasawh naah, tui boengloeng maeto koi.

and it is so, and he riseth early on the morrow, and presseth the fleece, and wringeth dew out of the fleece — the fulness of the bowl, of water.

39 To pacoeng ah Gideon mah Sithaw khaeah, Ka nuiah palungphui hmah raeh; tahmenhaih hoi vaito kang hnik let han vop; tuumui khukbuen hoi vaito tanoekhaih ka sak let han vop; vaihi loe tuumui khukbuen to phui nasoe loe, long ah dantui sui nasoe, tiah a naa.

And Gideon saith unto God, 'Let not Thine anger burn against me, and I speak only this time; let me try, I pray Thee, only this time with the fleece — let there be, I pray Thee, drought on the fleece alone, and on all the earth let there be dew.'

40 A thuih ih lok baktih toengah to naqum ah Sithaw mah sak pae; tuumui khukbuen khue to phuih moe, long ah loe dantui to krak.

And God doth so on that night, and there is drought on the fleece alone, and on all the earth there hath been dew.
