< 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 who were with him, rose up early, and camped beside the spring of Harod. And the camp of Midian was on the north side of them, by the hill of 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,
Jehovah said to Gideon, "The people who are with you are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, 'My own hand has 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 proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, 'Whoever is fearful and trembling, let him return and depart from Mount Gilead.' There returned of the people twenty-two thousand; but ten thousand remained.
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.
Jehovah said to Gideon, "The people are yet too many; bring them down to the water, and I will try them for you there: and it shall be, that of whom I tell you, This shall go with you, the same shall go with you; and of whoever I tell you, This shall not go with you, 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 to the water. And Jehovah said to Gideon, "Everyone who laps of the water with his tongue, as a dog laps, you shall put to one side; and everyone who gets down on his knees to drink with hand to mouth shall be on the other side."
6 Mi jathum’in bou akhut tenia kon in adontho uvin ahi. Adang sechun akhupmin adilsu uvin amuh in achip thou vin ahi.
The number of those who lapped with their tongues was three hundred men, but all the rest of the people got down on 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.
Jehovah said to Gideon, "By the three hundred men who lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into your hand; and let all the people go every man to his home."
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 the people took food in their hand, and their trumpets; and he sent all the men of Israel every man to 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!
It happened the same night, that Jehovah said to him, "Arise, get down into the camp; for I have delivered it into your hand.
10 Ahinlah amaho gasat inghy nakichat’a ahileh nalhacha Purah chu kipuijin angahmun uvah gachesuh lhonnin,
But if you fear to go down, go with Purah your 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 you shall hear what they say; and afterward will your hands be strengthened to go down into the camp." Then he went down with Purah his servant to the outermost part of the armed men who 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.
And Midian, Amalek, and all the Kedemites lay along in the valley as numerous as locusts; and their camels were without number, as numerous as the sand which is on the seashore.
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.
When Gideon had come, look, there was a man telling a dream to his friend; and he said, "Look, I had a dream, and look, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian, and came to the tent, and struck it so that it fell, and turned it upside down, so that the tent collapsed."
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.
His friend answered, "This is nothing less than the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel. Into his hand God has delivered Midian, and all the army."
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.
It was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and its interpretation, that he worshiped, and he returned into the camp of Israel, and said, "Get up, for Jehovah has delivered into your hand the army 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.
He divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put into the hands of all of them trumpets, 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,
He said to them, "Look at me, and do likewise. And look, when I come to the outermost part of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so you shall 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 trumpet, I and all who are with me, then you blow the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, "For Jehovah 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 who were with him came to 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 trumpets, 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.
The three companies blew the trumpets, and broke the pitchers, and held the torches in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands with which to blow; and they called out, "The sword of Jehovah and of 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.
They each stood in his place every man around the camp; and all the army ran; and they shouted, and put them to flight.
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.
They blew the three hundred trumpets, and Jehovah set every man's sword against each other throughout the camp; and the army 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.
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.
Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill country of Ephraim, saying, "Come down against Midian, and capture the waters, as far as Beth Barah, even the Jordan." So all the men of Ephraim were gathered together, and seized the waters as far as Beth Barah, even 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.
They took the two princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb; and they killed Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and Zeeb they killed at the winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian. Then they brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon beyond the Jordan.
