1 Hete miphunnaw teh BAWIPA ni tuk boihoeh rae Isarelnaw tanouk nahanelah a pâhlung pouh e naw doeh.
And these [are] the nations which the Lord left to prove Israel with them, all that had not known the wars of Chanaan.
2 Taran tuknae ka thoum hoeh rae naw taran tuk a thoum nahanelah, BAWIPA ni a hruek pouh e miphunnaw teh,
Only for the sake of the generations of Israel, to teach them war, only the men before them knew them not.
3 Filistinnaw bawi panga touh hoi, Kanaannaw, Sidonnaw, Lebanon mon dawk kaawm e Hivnaw, Baalhermon mon koehoi Lebohamath lam totouh.
The five lordships of the Phylistines, and every Chananite, and the Sidonian, and the Evite who lived in Libanus from the mount of Aermon to Laboemath.
4 BAWIPA ni a na min Mosi hno lahoi a na mintoenaw koe lawk a thui e kâpoelawknaw patetlah a tarawi maw tarawi hoeh maw tie kamnue sak nahanelah, Isarel miphunnaw tanouk nahanelah doeh.
And [this] was done in order to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would obey the commands of the Lord, which he charged their fathers by the hand of Moses.
5 Hottelah, Isarelnaw teh Kanaannaw, Hitnaw, Amonnaw, Perizinaw, Hivnaw, Jebusitnaw rahak vah ao awh teh,
And the children of Israel lived in the midst of the Chananite, and the Chettite, and the Amorite, and the Pherezite, and the Evite, and the Jebusite.
6 a canunaw hoi a kâpaluen a kâha awh, a cathutnaw hah a bawk pouh awh.
And they took their daughters for wives to themselves, and they gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.
7 Isarelnaw ni BAWIPA mithmu hno kahawihoeh a sak awh. BAWIPA a pahnawt awh teh, Baal, Asherah hah a bawk awh.
And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and forgot the Lord their God, and served Baalim and the groves.
8 Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA teh Isarelnaw koe puenghoi a lungkhuek teh, Mesopotamia siangpahrang Kushan-rishathaim kut dawk a yo, Isarelnaw teh Kushan-rishathaim e san lah kum taroe touh ao awh.
And the Lord was very angry with Israel, and sold them into the hand of Chusarsathaim king of Syria of the rivers: and the children of Israel served Chusarsathaim eight years.
9 Hatei, Isarelnaw BAWIPA bout a kaw awh toteh, BAWIPA ni rungngangkung buet touh a tâco sak. Ahni teh, Kalep nawngha Kenaz capa Othniel doeh.
And the children of Israel cried to the Lord; and the Lord raised up a saviour to Israel, and he saved them, Gothoniel the son of Kenez, the brother of Chaleb younger than himself.
10 BAWIPA e Muitha teh a tak dawk a pha, Isarelnaw a uk teh taran a thaw khai. Mesopotamia siangpahrang Kushan-rishathaim hah BAWIPA ni a kut dawk a poe teh, a tâ.
And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war against Chusarsathaim: and the Lord delivered into his hand Chusarsathaim king of Syria of the rivers, and his hand prevailed against Chusarsathaim.
11 Hatdawkvah, ram teh kum 40 thung a roum. Hahoi teh, Kenaz capa Othniel teh a due.
And the land was quiet forty years; and Gothoniel the son of Kenez died.
12 Hahoi Isarelnaw ni BAWIPA mithmu vah hno kahawihoehe bout a sak awh. BAWIPA ni Moab siangpahrang Eglon teh Isarelnaw tuk hanlah a kamthaw sak. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA mithmu vah hno kahawihoehe a sak awh.
And the children of Israel continued to do evil before the Lord: and the Lord strengthened Eglom king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil before the Lord.
13 Ammonnaw hoi Amaleknaw hah a pâkhueng teh Isarelnaw a tuk sak. Ahnimouh ni a tâ awh teh, ungkung kho hah a la pouh awh.
And he gathered to himself all the children of Ammon and Amalec, and went and struck Israel, and took possession of the city of Palm-trees.
14 Isarelnaw teh Moab siangpahrang Eglon san lah kum 18 touh ao awh.
And the children of Israel served Eglom the king of Moab eighteen years.
15 Hatei, Isarelnaw ni BAWIPA bout a kaw awh teh, BAWIPA ni ahnimouh hanlah rungngangkung bout a poe. Benjamin miphun Gera capa, avoilae kut ka hno e Ehud doeh. Isarelnaw ni Ehud koehoi Moab siangpahrang Eglon hanelah hno a patawn awh.
And the children of Israel cried to the Lord; and he raised up to them a saviour, Aod the son of Gera a son of Jemeni, a man who used both hands alike: and the children of Israel sent gifts by his hand to Eglom king of Moab.
16 Hahoi Ehud ni ayung dong touh ka saw ni teh avoivang kahran e tahloi hah a sin teh, aranglae khok dawk a hna thung a kawm.
And Aod made himself a dagger of two edges, of a span long, and he girded it under his cloak upon his right thigh.
17 Hahoi Moab siangpahrang Eglon koe hno teh a poe. Eglon teh ka thaw poung e lah ao.
And he went, and brought the presents to Eglom king of Moab, and Eglom [was] a very handsome man.
18 Ehud ni hno a poe hnukkhu, hno aphu sak e naw a cei sak.
And it came to pass when [Aod] had made an end of offering his gifts, that he dismissed those that brought the gifts.
19 Hatei, ama teh, Gilgal kho koe e lungdon koehoi let a ban teh, Oe siangpahrang, nang hanlah arulahoi laidei hane buet touh ka sin atipouh. Hahoi taica atipouh teh, a sannaw teh ama koehoi koung a tâco awh.
And he himself returned from the quarries that are by Galgal; and Aod said, I have a secret errand to you, O king! and Eglom said to him, Be silent: and he sent away from his presence all who waited upon him.
20 Imthungkhu a tungkhung dawk a tahung navah, Ehud ni a tho sin teh, nang hanelah Cathut koehoi lawk buet touh ka sin ati pouh teh, ahni teh tungkhung dawk hoi hluet a thaw navah,
And Aod went in to him; and he sat in his own upper summer chamber quite alone; and Aod said, I have a message from God to you, O king: and Eglom rose up from his throne near him.
21 Ehud ni avoilae kut hoi aranglae a phai hna thung e tahloi a rayu teh, a von dawk a thut pouh.
And it came to pass as he arose, that Aod stretched forth his left hand, and took the dagger off his right thigh, and plunged it into his belly;
22 A hlong hroung ka muem lah a thaw ni tahloi hah muen a kayo teh awh ei a tâco.
and drove in also the haft after the blade, and the fat closed in upon the blade, for he drew not out the dagger from his belly.
23 Hahoi Ehud alawilah a tâco teh, a onae rakhannaw pueng he a khan teh a taren pouh.
And Aod went out to the porch, and passed out by the appointed [guards], and shut the doors of the chamber upon him, and locked [them].
24 A ceitakhai hnukkhu a sannaw a tho teh, a onae rakhannaw he a kâtaren e a hmu awh torei teh, alouke imthungkhu dawk vai ao vah telah a pouk awh.
And he went out: and Eglom's servants came, and saw, and behold, the doors of the upper chamber [were] locked; and they said, Does he not uncover his feet in the summer-chamber?
25 Ngailawi a ring awh eiteh, a bawipa ni tho a paawng hoeh toung dawkvah, ahnimouh ni cabi a la awh teh, tho a paawng awh toteh, amamae bawi teh carawng dawk due laihoi kamlet e hah a hmu awh.
And they waited till they were ashamed, and, behold, there was no one that opened the doors of the upper chamber; and they took the key, and opened them; and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead upon the earth.
26 Hottelah a ring awh lahunnah, Ehud teh a la yawng toe. Lungdonnaw a tapoung teh, Seirah kho vah pou a pha.
And Aod escaped while they were in a tumult, and no one paid attention to him; and he passed the quarries, and escaped to Setirotha.
27 Ephraim mon dawkvah mongka a ueng teh, Isarelnaw ni a hnuk a kâbang awh teh, mon hoi a kum awh.
And it came to pass when Aod came into the land of Israel, that he blew the horn in mount Ephraim, and the children of Israel came down with him from the mountain, and he [was] before them.
28 Hahoi ahni ni, ka hnukkâbang awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, na taran Moabnaw teh BAWIPA ni ka kut dawk na poe toe atipouh. Hahoi a kâbang sin awh teh, Moab ram lah ceinae lam Jordan palang rakanae lam hah a ngang awh teh, api buet touh hai cet thai awh hoeh.
And he said to them, Come down after me, for the Lord God has delivered our enemies, even Moab, into our hand; and they went down after him, and seized on the fords of Jordan before Moab, and he did not suffer a man to pass over.
29 Hote tueng dawk Moabnaw 10, 000 touh a thei awh. Athakaawme taminaw seng doeh, buet touh hai hlout awh hoeh.
And they struck Moab on that day about ten thousand men, every [lusty] person and every mighty man; and not a man escaped.
30 Hatdawkvah, hote hnin dawk teh Moabnaw teh Isarelnaw kut dawk a sung awh. Hote ram teh kum 80 touh a roum.
So Moab was humbled in that day under the hand of Israel, and the land had rest eighty years; and Aod judged them till he died.
31 Ahni hnukkhu teh, Anath capa Shamgar a tâco teh, Filistinnaw 600 touh bongpai pasum hoi a thei awh teh, Isarel miphunnaw a hlout sak.
And after him rose up Samegar the son of Dinach, and struck the Philistines to the number of six hundred men with a ploughshare [such as is drawn by] oxen; and he too delivered Israel.
