Laitloekkung 3

1 namtom rhoek khaw Kanaan kah caemtloek pakhat khaw aka ming pawh Israel boeih te noemcai ham ni BOEIPA loh a hlun.

These are the nations which the Lord left, that by them he might instruct Israel, and all that had not known the wars of the Chanaanites:

2 Te daengah ni a mikhmuh ah caemtloek aka ming pawh Israel ca rhoek ka cadilcahma loh caemtloek a cang ham te a ming eh.

That afterwards their children might learn to fight with their enemies, and to be trained up to war:

3 Te vaengah Philisti boei panga neh Kanaan boeih Baalhermon tlang lamloh Lebokhamath duela Lebanon tlang ah kho aka sa Sidoni neh Khivee rhoek te khaw,

The five princes of the Philistines, and all the Chanaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hevites that dwelt in mount Libanus, from mount Baal Hermon to the entering into Emath.

4 BOEIPA kah olpaek te a yaak uh nim? Te nen te noemcai ham tih Israel te ming sak ham om coeng. Te te Moses kut lamloh a napa rhoek a uen coeng.

And he left them, that he might try Israel by them, whether they would hear the commandments of the Lord, which he had commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses, or not.

5 Te dongah Isreal ca rhoek loh Kanaan kah Khitti, Amori Perizzi, Khivee neh Jebusi lakli ah kho a sak uh.

So the children of Israel dwelt in the midst of the Chanaanite, and the Hethite, and the Amorrhite, and the Pherezite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite:

6 Amih nu te a yuu la a loh uh tih a ca rhoek te amih Kanaan nu te a paek uh dongah amih kah sungrhai taengah tho a thueng uh.

And they took their daughters to wives, and they gave their own daughters to their sons, and they served their gods.

7 Te vaengkah Israel ca rhoek BOEIPA mikhmuh ah thae a saii uh tih BOEIPA a Pathen te a hnilh uh dongah Baal neh Asherah te tho a thueng thiluh.

And they did evil in the sight of the Lord, and they forgot their God, and served Baalim and Astaroth.

8 Te vaengah BOEIPA kah thintoek Israel taengah sai. Te dongah amih te Aramnaharaim manghai Kushanrishathaim kut ah a yoih tih Israel ca rhoek te Kushanrishathaim taengah kum rhet thotat uh.

And the Lord being angry with Israel, delivered them into the hands of Chusan Rasathaim king of Mesopotamia, and they served him eight years.

9 Tedae Israel ca rhoek te BOEIPA taengah pang uh tih Israel ca rhoek ham khangkung te BOEIPA loh a thoh pah. Te vaengah Kaleb amah lakah aka noe, a mana Kenaz capa Othniel loh amih te a khang.

And they cried to the Lord, who raised them up a saviour, and delivered them, to wit, Othoniel the son of Cenez, the younger brother of Caleb:

10 Anih te BOEIPA Mueihla loh a om thil dongah Israel ham lai a tloek pah. Caemtloek la a caeh vaengah Aram manghai Kushanrishathaim te anih kut ah BOEIPA loh a paek. Te dongah a kut te Kushanrishathaim soah taenglue.

And the spirit of the Lord was in him, and he judged Israel. And he went out to fight, and the Lord delivered into his hands Chusan Rasathaim king of Syria, and he overthrew him.

11 Te dongah khohmuen he kum sawmli mong tih Kenaz capa Othniel khaw duek.

And the land rested forty years, and Othoniel the son of Cenez died.

12 Tedae BOEIPA mikhmuh ah thae saii ham Israel ca rhoek loh a khoep uh tih BOEIPA mikhmuh ah thae a saii uh dongah Israel soah Moab manghai Eglon te BOEIPA loh a tanglue sak.

And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord: who strengthened against them Eglon king of Moab: because they did evil in his sight.

13 Te vaengah Ammon neh Amalek koca rhoek tah anih taengla kibaeng uh. Israel te a paan tih a tloek dongah rhophoe khopuei te a huul uh.

And he joined to him the children of Ammon, and Amalec: and he went and overthrew Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees.

14 Te dongah Isreal ca rhoek te Moab manghai Eglon taengah kum hlai rhet thotat uh.

And the children of Israel served Eglon king of Moab eighteen years:

15 Israel ca rhoek loh BOEIPA te a pang thil uh vaengah amih ham khangkung la Benjamin koca, Gera capa Ehud te, BOEIPA loh a thoh pah. Anih te bantang kut aka poem hlang ni. Te dongah Israel ca rhoek loh anih kut dongah Moab manghai Eglon ham khocang a pat uh.

And afterwards they cried to the Lord, who raised them up a saviour called Aod, the son of Gera, the son of Jemini, who used the left hand as well as the right. And the children of Israel sent presents to Eglon king of Moab by him.

16 Te vaengah Ehud amah ham cunghang a saii tih a ha rhaepnit neh a sen dongkhat lo. Te te a himbai khui kah a bantang phai la a kaelh.

And he made himself a two-edged sword, with a haft in the midst of the length of the palm of the hand, and was girded therewith under his garment on the right thigh.

17 Moab manghai Eglon taengla khocang a thak vaengah Eglon a sak hoeng paduk la om.

And he presented the gifts to Eglon king of Moab. Now Eglon was exceeding fat.

18 Khocang nawn ham te bawt a coeng phoeiah khocang aka phuei pilnam te a tueih.

And when he had presented the gifts unto him, he followed his companions that came along with him.

19 Tedae amah te tah Gilgal kah mueidaep ah bal tih “Manghai nang ham kai taengah yinhnuk ol om,” a ti nah. Te dongah manghai loh, “Saah lah,” a ti nah tih a taengkah aka pai boeih te anih taeng lamloh nong uh.

Then returning from Galgal, where the idols were, be said to the king: I have a secret message to thee, O king. And he commanded silence: and all being gone out that were about him,

20 Te dongah nohung imhman ah amah bueng a ngol vaengah Ehud loh a paan. Te phoeiah Ehud loh, “Nang hamla kai taengah Pathen kah olka om,” a ti nah. Te vaengah ngolkhoel dong lamloh thoo.

Aod went in to him: now he was sitting in a summer parlour alone, and he said: I have a word from God to thee. And he forthwith rose up from his throne,

21 Ehud loh banvoei kut te a yueng phoeiah a bantang phai kaep kah cunghang a loh tih manghai kah a bung khuila a thun pah.

And Aod put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly,

22 Te vaengah thihna hnukah a tueng pataeng khaw muelh. A bung lamkah cunghang te a bong pah pawt dongah thiha te a tha loh a yol tih a aek khaw coe.

With such force that the haft went in after the blade into the wound, and was closed up with the abundance of fat. So that he did not draw out the dagger, but left it in his body as he had struck it in. And forthwith by the secret parts of nature the excrements of the belly came out.

23 Ehud te imkawt la cet imhman thohkhaih te a hnukah khoep a dan tih a kalh.

But Aod carefully shutting the doors of the parlour and locking them,

24 Anih a caeh phoei daengah manghai sal rhoek te ha pawk uh hatah imhman thohkhaih khoep a kalh uh te lawt a hmuh uh. Te dongah, “Nohung imhman ah a kho a khuk pueng muema “a ti uh.

Went out by a postern door. And the king’s servants going in, saw the doors of the parlour shut, and they said: Perhaps he is easing nature in his summer parlour.

25 A yah duela a rhing uh dae imhman thohkhaih te ong tarha pawh. Te dongah cabi a loh uh tih a ong uh hatah a boei te diklai ah a duek la tarha ana yalh pah.

And waiting a long time till they were ashamed, and seeing that no man opened the door, they took a key: and opening, they found their lord lying dead on the ground.

26 Amih a uelh uh vaengah Ehud tah vawl loeih. Te dongah anih tah mueidaep rhoek te a poeng tih Seirah duela loeih.

But Aod, while they were in confusion, escaped, and passed by the place of the idols, from whence he had returned. And he came to Seirath:

27 A pha van neh Ephraim tlang ah tuki a ueng. Te vaengah tlang lamkah Israel ca rhoek tah anih taengla suntla uh. Tedae anih te amih hmai la om coeng.

And forthwith he sounded the trumpet in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel went down with him, he himself going in the front.

28 Te phoeiah Ehud loh amih te “Na thunkha Moab te BOEIPA loh nangmih kut dongla m'paek coeng dongah kai hnuk han hloem uh,” a ti nah. Te dongah anih hnukah suntla uh tih Moab te Jordan lamkai ah a tuuk uh tih hlang pakhat khaw kat sak ham pae uh pawh.

And he said to them: Follow me: for the Lord hath delivered our enemies the Moabites into our hands. And they went down after him, and seized upon the fords of the Jordan, which are in the way to Moab: and they suffered no man to pass over.

29 Te vaeng tue kah Moab a tloek te hlang rhalh boeih neh tatthai hlang boeih te thawng rha tluk lo tih hlang pakhat khaw loeih sak pawh.

But they slew of the Moabites at that time, about ten thousand, all strong and Valiant men: none of them could escape.

30 Te khohnin ah Moab loh Israel kut hmuiah kunyun sut tih khohmuen loh kum sawmrhet khuiah mong.

And Moab was humbled that day under the hand of Israel: and the land rested eighty years.

31 Ehud phoeiah tah Anath capa Shamgar om tih Philisti hlang ya rhuk neh vaito ciksum te a tloek phoeiah Israel te khaw a khang.

After him was Samgar the son of Anath, who slew of the Philistines six hundred men with a ploughshare: and he also defended Israel.
