< Thutan Vaihom Ho 7 >
1 Jerub-baal (Gideon tina) leh asepaite matah in athouvun Herod tuinah chan geiyin ache tauvin ahi. Midian sepaite chu amaho sahlang Moreh lhang komma phaichamma ngahmun ana kisem un ahi.
Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people that were with him, rose up early, and pitched beside En-harod; and the camp of Midian was on the north side of them, by Gibeath-moreh, in the valley.
2 Pakaiyin Gideon komma aseijin, “Nangin galsat ding mi natam pui behseh e. Keiman nabonchauvin Midiante gal nasatsah’u leng, Israel miten keiho thahatna'a kakihuhdoh u ahi, tin Keima dounan hung kiletsah get’un nate,
And the LORD said unto Gideon: 'The people that are with thee are too many for Me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel vaunt themselves against Me, saying: mine own hand hath saved me.
3 Hijeh chun mipite jah achun koi hileh kichatna neiho sesen hiche mol hi dalhau henlang aincheh uva che taohen tin seipeh in,” ati. Hitichun alah uva sangsomni le sangni chu inlanga acheuvin, galsat ding ngapcha a mi sangsom bou adalha tauvin ahi.
Now therefore make proclamation in the ears of the people, saying: Whosoever is fearful and trembling, let him return and depart early from mount Gilead.' And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand.
4 Ahin Pakaiyin Gideon aseipeh kit’in, “Tunjong atambehseh nalaiye hijeh chun donding twikhuh a puisuh inlang hiche munna chn keiman nache khompi ding hole nache khompi louding miho kahi lhenkhen ding ahi,” ati.
And the LORD said unto Gideon: 'The people are yet too many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there; and it shall be, that of whom I say to thee: This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee: This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go.'
5 Gideon mipiho chu twikhuh phunga apuisuh phatnin Pakaiyin hitin ahi seipeh in ahi, “Mipi hochu loi-ni in hom khen inlang loikhat chu akhut nia twi soh a uicha banga aleija le tho ho hiding, loikhat chu akhupma dilsua amuh a chiptho ho hiding ahi,” ati.
So he brought down the people unto the water; and the LORD said unto Gideon: 'Everyone that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink.'
6 Mi jathum’in bou akhut tenia kon in adontho uvin ahi. Adang sechun akhupmin adilsu uvin amuh in achip thou vin ahi.
And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was three hundred men; but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water.
7 Pakaiyin Gideon kommah ahin seijin, “Hiche mi jathum hohi kipui’in Keiman nahuhdoh ingting Midian hochu naga joding’u ahi, midang ho jouse chu ainlang cheh uva sultan,” ati.
And the LORD said unto Gideon: 'By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thy hand; and let all the people go every man unto his place.'
8 Hijeh chun Gideonin midangho nehleh chah chuleh saki sumkon apoh houchu achomkhom’in, hitichun adangho sechu ainlanga asoltan ahi. Amavang mi jathum bouseh chutoh aumtan ahi. Midian hochun Gideon umna noi phaichamma chun ngahmun asem tauvin ahi.
So they took the victuals of the people in their hand, and their horns; and he sent all the men of Israel every man unto his tent, but retained the three hundred men; and the camp of Midian was beneath him in the valley.
9 Hiche jan chun Pakaiyin hitin aseije, “Kipatnin lang Midian ngahmunna gachesuh in, ajeh chu amaho chunga hi galjona kamusah ding nahi!
And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto him: 'Arise, get thee down upon the camp; for I have delivered it into thy hand.
10 Ahinlah amaho gasat inghy nakichat’a ahileh nalhacha Purah chu kipuijin angahmun uvah gachesuh lhonnin,
But if thou fear to go down, go thou with Purah thy servant down to the camp.
11 Midianten ipi aseijuvam ga ngailhi lechun nangma nakitilkhou chomlheh ding ahi, hiteng chuleh nangin amaho gasat dingchu ngapcha tan nate,” ati. Hijeh chun Gideonin Purah chu akipuijin galmiho ngahmun komcha achun achesuh lhontan ahi.
And thou shalt hear what they say; and afterward shall thy hands be strengthened to go down upon the camp.' Then went he down with Purah his servant unto the outermost part of the armed men that were in the camp.
12 Midian mite le Amalek mite chuleh solam mite epia hochu hiche phaichamma chun khaokhote alomchang lah bangin atam atam anapansauvin ahi. Asangan houjong chu twikhanglen panga neldi jat bangin simma simjoulou jat anaphauvin ahi.
Now the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like locusts for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand which is upon the sea-shore for multitude.
13 Alah uva mikhat chun aloipa kommah amang ahinseijin ahileh Gideon chun hichu ajahphah nading in agah kithol lut in ahi. Hichepa chun hitin ahin seije, “Keiman mangkhat kana neijin kamang’a chun sakol chaang a kisem changlhah lumkhat Midiante ponbuh geiyin ahung kilih suhpeh’in, hichun ponbuh hi ahin tat-khan akhup athallin akileh jengin chujouvin akiphamat deh jengin ahi!” ati.
And when Gideon was come, behold, there was a man telling a dream unto his follow, and saying: 'Behold, I dreamed a dream, and, lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian, and came unto the tent, and smote it that it fell, and turned it upside down, that the tent lay flat.'
14 Hichun aloipa chun hitin adonbutnin, “Namangchun thilkhat adoi aume Pathen’in Israel mi Joash chapa Gideon hi Midian mite le apankhompi hojouse chung’a hi galjona apeh ahitai!” ati.
And his fellow answered and said: 'This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: into his hand God hath delivered Midian, and all the host.'
15 Gideon in hiche mangle akiledohna thucheng chu jah phatnin Pakai ang’a abohkhup in chibai abohtan ahi. Hiche jouchun Israel te ngahmun’ah ahung kilekit in kho asamtan ahi, “Kipatdoh un Pakaiyin Midian mite le akiloikhompi chengse chung’a hi galjona eipeh u ahitai!” ati.
And it was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he worshipped; and he returned into the camp of Israel, and said: 'Arise; for the LORD hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian.'
16 Hitichun Gideonin a epia jathum chu loi thum'in ahomin mikhatcheh chu saki sumkon khatcheh leh leibel khat cheh asunga meisel umcheh toh apetha in ahi.
And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put into the hands of all of them horns, and empty pitchers, with torches within the pitchers.
17 Hichejou chun Gideonin ajah uvah hitin aseije, “Namit teniuvin keiman neihinve jingun, amaho ngahmun kom kalhun tengleh keiman kabol bol hinbollun,
And he said unto them: 'Look on me, and do likewise; and, behold, when I come to the outermost part of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall ye do.
18 Kei le kalhonpi kaloihon saki sumkon kahin mut tenguleh, ngahmun kimvel jousea kona nanghon jong sumkon nahin mutsoh keiyuva nahoh diu, ‘Pakai ding le Gideon din’ tin hinsam cheh un!” ati.
When I blow the horn, I and all that are with me, then blow ye the horns also on every side of all the camp, and say: For the LORD and for Gideon!'
19 Jan khangkim jou panmun ngahho kikheljou pettah chun Gibeon leh aloi mi jakhat chu Midiante ngahmun komcha chu agalhung tauvin ahi. Photlot tah’in amahon saki sumkon chu amut un leibel chu avokeh tauvin ahi.
So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outermost part of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch, when they had but newly set the watch; and they blew the horns, and broke in pieces the pitchers that were in their hands.
20 Hiche jouchun loithum ho cheng chun asumkon cheh u amut’un aleibel cheh u jong avokeh tauvin ahi. Amahon ameisellu kong leiloi chu akhut veilammin achoijun chuleh jetlangin asumkon uchu achoijun ahoh cheh un, “Pakai chemjam dingleh Gideon dingin” tin hasap in asam un ahi.
And the three companies blew the horns, and broke the pitchers, and held the torches in their left hands, and the horns in their right hands wherewith to blow; and they cried: 'The sword for the LORD and for Gideon!'
21 Ngahmun kimvella chun abonchauvin ama ama dinmun cheh a chun dettah in adingun ahileh, Midian mite chu tijatah'in apentoh akatoh ajamtoh atho tauvin ahi.
And they stood every man in his place round about the camp; and all the host ran; and they shouted, and fled.
22 Israel mi jathum’in saki sumkon chu amutcheh phat’un Pakaiyin ngahmun sunga um galsat dia kigong mi hochu achemjam un amahole amaho akisatto sah tan ahi. Akisat lihlou chengse chu Zererah kom Beth-shittah changeileh Tabbath kom Abel-meholah gamgi geijin ajamlut tauvin ahi.
And they blew the three hundred horns, and the LORD set every man's sword a against his fellow, even throughout all the host; and the host fled as far as Beth-shittah toward Zererah, as far as the border of Abel-meholah, by Tabbath.
23 Hijouchun Gideonin, Nephtali le Asher chuleh Manasseh sepaiho akoukhomin Midian mite gal jamho chu adelpeh un ahi.
And the men of Israel were gathered together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after Midian.
24 Gideonin Ephraim thinglhang gamsung muntinna thupole ho asollin hiti hin aga seisah in ahi, “Hung konsuh unlang Midiante hung satnun Beth-barah mun Jordan vadung paltan namun nah amahohi hungting tan’un,” ati. Hijeh chun Ephraim mite jousen akisei bangin atongdoh soh keijun ahi.
And Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill-country of Ephraim, saying: 'Come down against Midian, and take before them the waters, as far as Beth-barah, and also the Jordan.' So all the men of Ephraim were gathered together, and took the waters as far as Beth-barah, and also the Jordan.
25 Amahon, Midian mite gal lamkaiteni Oreb le Zeeb chu amannun, Oreb chu Oreb songpi munnah athatnun chuleh Zeeb chu Zeeb lengpithei hehna munnah athatnun ahi. Chuleh Midiante chu ana nung adelpeh peh’un ahi. Hiche jouchun Israel ten Oreb leh Zeeb luchang teni chu Jordan vadung gal lama Gideon kommah chun ahinpo lut un ahi.
And they took the two princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb; and they slew Oreb at the Rock of Oreb, and Zeeb they slew at the Winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian; and they brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon beyond the Jordan.
