Thutan Vaihom Ho 3

1 Hiche nam hohi Canaan mite kisatna–a anapang khalou, Israelte patepna dinga Pakaiyin gamsunga anadalhah hochu ahi.

Now these are the nations which the LORD left, to prove Israel by them, even as many as had not known all the wars of Canaan;

2 Aman hiche hi galsatji hekhalou lai Israel khangthah ho galsatje akithem chuhna diuva abol ahi.

only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as beforetime knew nothing thereof;

3 Hiche nam hochu Philistine’te (Phillistine vaipo nga ho noiya cheng hochu ahiuve), Canaan mite jouse, Sidon mite chule Baal-hermon mol apat Lebo-hamath changeiya kijam lhungpeh Lebanon mol chunga cheng Hiv mite ahiuve.

namely, the five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Zidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baal-hermon unto the entrance of Hamath.

4 Pakaiyin Mose mangchan apu apateu thupeh anapeh hochu, Israel mite hin anit uvem anitlou uham? Ti hetna dinga hiche mipite hohi ana dalhah ahi.

And they were there, to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of the LORD, which He commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.

5 Hiti chun Israel tehi Canaan mite, Hit mite, Amor mite, Periz mite, Hiv mite chuleh Jebus mite lah'a cheng ahiuvin,

And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites;

6 chuleh amaho toh akicheng touvin, Israel chapaten amaho chanu teho akichen piuvin, chule Israel chanute chu amaho chapate toh kicheng ding in ana peuvin ahi. Hiti chun Israelten amaho pathen ho chu ajenle tauve.

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

7 Israelten Pakai mitmun thilse jeng anabol tauvin, amahon a-Pakai, a-Pathen uchu asumil tauvin, chule amahon Baal leh Asherah milim semthu hochu jenle in ana pang tauvin ahi.

And the children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgot the LORD their God, and served the Baalim and the Asheroth.

8 Hijeh chun Pakai chu Israel dounan alunghang lheh jengtan, hijeh chun Ram-naharaim lengpa Cushan-rishathaim khut’ah ana pedohtan, chuin Israelten kumget sungin Cushan-rishathaim sohna ana tongun ahi.

Therefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and He gave them over into the hand of Cushan-rishathaim king of Aram-naharaim; and the children of Israel served Cushan-rishathaim eight years.

9 Hinlah Israel mite chu Pakai koma panpi ngaichan ana kaptauvin ahileh, Pakaiyin amaho huhdoh dingin mikhat ana tungdoh in, amachu Caleb naopa Kenaz chapa Othniel ahi.

And when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised up a saviour to the children of Israel, who saved them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.

10 Pakai Lhagao chu achunga ahungchun hiti chun ama Israelte thutan vaihom’in ahung pangtan, chuin Othniel chu Ram lengpa Cushan-rishathaim chunga galboldin ahung kipantan ahileh Pakaiyin gal anajo sahtan.

And the spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war, and the LORD delivered Cushan-rishathaim king of Aram into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Cushan-rishathaim.

11 Hijeh chun kum somli gamsunga chamna ana umm in, chujouvin Kenaz chapa Othniel chu ana thitan ahi.

And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.

12 Avelin Israelten Pakai mitmun thilse jeng ana bolkit tauvin ahileh, hitobanga athilse bol jeh uhin Pakaiyin Moab lengpa Eglon chu Israelte chungah ana vaihom sahtan ahi.

And the children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done that which was evil in the sight of the LORD.

13 Eglon’in Ammon mite leh Amalek mite chu ana kiloikhompin, hitichun anakon'un Israelte chu anajou tauvin Lusuga lei tia kihe Jericho khopi chu ana toupha tauvin ahi.

And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek; and he went and smote Israel, and they possessed the city of palm-trees.

14 Hiti chun Israelten Moab lengpa Eglon noiya kum somle get sungin sohna ana tong’un ahi.

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

15 Ahinlah Israelte chu panpi ngaichat nan Pakai koma ana kapjah jeng tauvin ahileh, Pakaiyin amaho huhdoh dingin mikhat ahin tungdoh kit in, ama minchu Gera chapa Ehud ahi. Benjamin phunga kona khutvei-long pachu anahi. Israelten Moab lengpa Eglon koma kai apehdiu chu Ehud agathah sah’un ahi.

But when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised them up a saviour, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a man left-handed; and the children of Israel sent a present by him unto Eglon the king of Moab.

16 Hiti chun Ehud in tong-khat a sao, alangtoa hem chemkhat ajetlam mal’ah ajeplut'in pon akhu khum’in ahi.

And Ehud made him a sword which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he girded it under his raiment upon his right thigh.

17 Aman mithaotah Eglon koma chun kai-pehding sum chu ahin pon ahung in ahi.

And he offered the present unto Eglon king of Moab — now Eglon was a very fat man.

18 Athilpeh chu apehchai phat in Ehud chu ache khompi cheng chutoh inlang cheding in ahung kipat doh tauvin ahi.

And when he had made an end of offering the present, he sent away the people that bore the present.

19 Hinlah Ehud chu Gilgal koma song milim kisem kom ahunglhun phat'in ahung kileheijin, Eglon koma chun ahungin, “Keiman thuguh seiding khat kaneiye” ati. Hijeh chun lengpan ama lhachaho koma chun, “Thipbeh un” atin, amaho chu aindan sunga kon chun asoldoh tan ahi.

But he himself turned back from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said: 'I have a secret errand unto thee, O king.' And he said: 'Keep silence.' And all that stood by him went out from him.

20 Ehud chu ain-chung dana dap heova achangseh'a tou Eglon koma chun achelut in Eglon koma chun, “Keiman Pathen akon in nang dinga thuthot khat kahinpoi ati.” Hitia chu Eglon lengpa chu atouna-a kona adindoh chun,

And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting by himself alone in his cool upper chamber. And Ehud said: 'I have a message from God unto thee.' And he arose out of his seat.

21 Ehud’in avei-langin amal jetlama aje achem chu asatdoh in, lengpa oi achun aphut luttan ahi.

And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly.

22 Chemchu alutthuh jeh'in lengpa a-oi thaolah a chun achem kungjong chu alhum heltan ahi. Hijeh chun Ehud’in chemchu anung loidoh tapon, chule amaha’a kon chun lengpa eh jong ahungdoh leu tan ahi.

And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, for he drew not the sword out of his belly; and it came out behind.

23 Hiche jouchun Ehud’in hiche indan kot hochu akamsoh keiyin kanglong aheh khum in, ehbuh langa achomlhan ajamdoh tai.

Then Ehud went forth into the porch, and shut the doors of the upper chamber upon him, and locked them.

24 Ehud achedoh jouphat chun lengpa lhacha hochu ahung kinung leuvin ahileh, inchung dan kot jouse chu ana kikam sohkei chu agamu tauvin, amahon insung dana chu eh athah hiding in agelun ahi.

Now when he was gone out, his servants came; and they saw, and, behold, the doors of the upper chamber were locked; and they said: 'Surely he is covering his feet in the cabinet of the cool chamber.'

25 Hijeh chun chomkhat set angah un, ahinlah phat sotthimtah anga vangun lengpa chu ahungdoh deh tapon, hichun atijaovin akot-heh chu agala tauvin ahileh, amahon kotchu ahon phat’un, apupau chu athisa lhonga kijam agamudoh tauvin ahi.

And they tarried till they were ashamed; and, behold, he opened not the doors of the upper chamber; therefore they took the key, and opened them; and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth.

26 Lhacha hochu ageisangle kah uchun Ehud chu ajamdoh in song milim kisem lamchu ahopa in Seirah lam-ah ajamdoh tan ahi.

And Ehud escaped while they lingered, having passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Seirah.

27 Ama Ephraim thinglhang gam alhunphat in Ehud chun gal kona ding sumkon amuttan, hichun Israel mi honkhat chu thinglhanga kon in apuisuh in

And it came to pass, when he was come, that he blew a horn in the hill-country of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the hill-country, and he before them.

28 “Neijuiyun,” ati, “Ajeh chu nagal miho Moab mite chunga hi Pakaiyin galjona napeh'u ahitai,” ati. Hijeh chun amahon ajuiyun, Moab akona Jordan vadung galkaina palmun jouse chu atouphauvin koimacha agal kaisah pouvin ahi.

And he said unto them: 'Follow after me; for the LORD hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand.' And they went down after him, and took the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites, and suffered not a man to pass over.

29 Amahon Moab mite chu akisat peuvin amaho lah'a ahat pen hole galsat themcheh ho khatcha jong sohcha louhel in, mihem sangsom athat’un ahi.

And they smote of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, every lusty man, and every man of valour; and there escaped not a man.

30 Hiti chun Israelten Moab’te chu anajou’un gamsung achun kum somget jen chamna ana um-in ahi.

So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest fourscore years.

31 Ehud nungin Anath chapa Shamgar chun Israelte ana huhdoh in, aman bongchal khagu mangcha in khatvei chu Phillistinete mi jagup anathat in ahi.

And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who smote of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox-goad; and he also saved Israel.
