Lawkcengkung 7
1 Hottelah Jerubbaal (ahni teh Gideon doeh) hoi ahni koe kaawm e tamihu pueng hah amom vah a thaw awh teh, Harod tuikhu teng vah a roe awh. Hottelah Midiannaw roenae teh a onae atunglah Moreh mon teng, tanghling dawk doeh.
Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people who were with him, rose up early and encamped beside the spring of Harod. Midian’s camp was on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley.
2 BAWIPA ni Gideon koe ahnimae kut dawk Midiannaw pek nahanelah nang koe kaawm e naw teh kai hanelah ekvoi apap awh. Hoehpawiteh, Isarel ni kamamae kut roeroe ni ka rungngang awh e doeh ti hoi, kai na taran awh vaiteh, a kâoup payon awh han doeh.
The LORD said to Gideon, “The people who are with you are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel brag against me, saying, ‘My own hand has saved me.’
3 Hatdawkvah, atu tamimaya thai nah koe, ka taket ni teh ka pâyaw e pueng Gilead mon koehoi tang ban awh naseh telah na dei pouh han telah ati. Hottelah tamimaya thung hoi tami 22, 000 touh a ban awh teh, 10,000 touh a cawi awh.
Now therefore proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, ‘Whoever is fearful and trembling, let him return and depart from Mount Gilead.’” So twenty-two thousand of the people returned, and ten thousand remained.
4 Hatei, BAWIPA ni Gideon koevah, tami apap poung rah. Tui koe cetkhai nateh haw vah ka tanouk han. Hat toteh, hete tami heh nang koe cet naseh ka tie teh, nang koe cet naseh, hahoi hete tami teh nang koe cet han naseh ka tie teh cet han naseh.
The LORD said to Gideon, “There are still too many people. Bring them down to the water, and I will test them for you there. It shall be, that those whom I tell you, ‘This shall go with you,’ shall go with you; and whoever I tell you, ‘This shall not go with you,’ shall not go.”
5 Hottelah tamimaya teh tui koe a ceicathuk khai. Hat toteh, BAWIPA ni Gideon koe, ui patetlah a lai hoi tui ka palem e pueng hah na kapek han, hot patetvanlah tabut laihoi tui ka sarawp e pueng hai na kapek han, telah atipouh.
So he brought down the people to the water; and the LORD said to Gideon, “Everyone who laps of the water with his tongue, like a dog laps, you shall set him by himself; likewise everyone who bows down on his knees to drink.”
6 A kuttabei hoi tui ka duek ni teh ka palem tami 300 touh a pha. Hatei, tami alouk pueng teh khokpakhu cuengkhuem laihoi tui ka sarawp e seng doeh.
The number of those who lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was three hundred men; but all the rest of the people bowed down on their knees to drink water.
7 BAWIPA ni Gideon koevah, palem lah ka palem e tami 300 touh hno lahoi na rungngang awh vaiteh, Midiannaw hah nangmae kut dawk na poe awh han. Tami alouk pueng teh amamae onae koe koung ban awh naseh, telah atipouh.
The LORD said to Gideon, “I will save you by the three hundred men who lapped, and deliver the Midianites into your hand. Let all the other people go, each to his own place.”
8 Hottelah, tami pueng ni a ca awh hane hoi mongka hah a la awh teh, kacawi e Isarelnaw pueng teh amamae rim koe a ban sak awh teh, tami 300 touh a kamcin sak awh. Midiannaw roenae teh akalah doeh.
So the people took food in their hand, and their trumpets; and he sent all the rest of the men of Israel to their own tents, but retained the three hundred men; and the camp of Midian was beneath him in the valley.
9 Hatnae tangmin vah, BAWIPA ni ahni koe, thaw nateh ahnimouh roenae koe cathuk sin haw, na kut dawk na poe toe.
That same night, the LORD said to him, “Arise, go down into the camp, for I have delivered it into your hand.
10 Hatei, cathuk sin hane na taket pawiteh, na san Purah hoi rim koe cathuk roi haw.
But if you are afraid to go down, go with Purah your servant down to the camp.
11 A dei awh e na thai vaiteh, hat hnukkhu ahnimae roenae taran lahoi cei hanelah na kut hah thaosak lah ao han, telah ati. Hattoteh a san Purah hoi roenae hmuen karingkungnaw onae koe a takhang roi.
You will hear what they say; and afterward your hands will be strengthened to go down into the camp.” Then went he down with Purah his servant to the outermost part of the armed men who were in the camp.
12 Hahoi Midiannaw hoi Amaleknaw hoi Kanîtholae taminaw pueng teh tanghling dawk samtongnaw patetlah numnum a kâlî awh. Ahnie kalauknaw teh boeba touk thai hoeh, tuipui teng e sadi patetlah doeh a o.
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 on the seashore for multitude.
13 Hatteh, Gideon a tho toteh tami buet touh ni a hui koe a mang hah a rui pouh, thaihaw! mang ka tawn. barli vaiyei phen heh Midiannaw tungpupnae koe a kamlei teh, tungpupnae rimnaw bungling lah a rawp nahane lah reprep a ten pouh, telah a ti.
When Gideon had come, behold, there was a man telling a dream to his fellow. He said, “Behold, I dreamed a dream; and behold, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian, came to the tent, and struck it so that it fell, and turned it upside down, so that the tent lay flat.”
14 A hui ni, hothateh Isarel tami Joash capa e tahloi laipalah alouk mahoeh. Cathut ni Midiannaw hoi a rimnaw pueng teh a kut dawk a poe toe tinae doeh, telah a ti.
His fellow answered, “This is nothing other than the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel. God has delivered Midian into his hand, with all the army.”
15 Hahoi, Gideon ni mang hoi a deicainae a thai toteh, Cathut hah a bawk. Isarel roenae hmuen koe a ban teh, thaw awh haw, bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni Midiannaw roenae hmuen teh nangmae kut dawk a poe toe, telah a ti.
It was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream and its interpretation, that he worshiped. Then he returned into the camp of Israel and said, “Arise, for the LORD has delivered the army of Midian into your hand!”
16 Hote tami 300 touh e hah hu thum touh lah a kapek teh, ahnimae kut dawk mongka hoi hlaam hrawng hoi a thung vah hmaito khue hoi rip a poe.
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 Ahnimouh ni ahni koe, na khen awh nateh ka sak e patetlah na sak awh van han. Hahoi khenhaw! roenae hmuen koe ka pha toteh, ka sak e patetlah ruengrueng na sak awh han.
He said to them, “Watch me, and do likewise. Behold, when I come to the outermost part of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so you shall do.
18 Kai hoi kai koe kaawm e pueng ni mongka ka ueng awh toteh roenae rim petkâkalup lah kaawm e pueng ni lengkaleng na ueng van awh vaiteh, BAWIPA hoi Gideon e tahloi, na ti awh han.
When I blow the trumpet, I and all who are with me, then blow the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and shout, ‘For the LORD and for Gideon!’”
19 Hottelah Gideon hoi ama koe kaawm e tami 100 touh teh karum ramvengnaw nuengnueng a kâhleng awh nah kalekkalak vah, roenae rim koe a pha awh. Hahoi mongka a ueng awh teh a kut dawk e hlaam hah lengkaleng rek a hem awh.
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. Then they blew the trumpets and broke in pieces the pitchers that were in their hands.
20 Avoi lahoi hmaito a sin awh teh arang lahoi ueng hane mongka a sin awh teh, BAWIPA hoi Gideon e tahloi, telah a târue awh.
The three companies blew the trumpets, broke the pitchers, and held the torches in their left hands and the trumpets in their right hands with which to blow; and they shouted, “The sword of the LORD and of Gideon!”
21 Roenae rim petkâkalup lah kaawm awh e tami pueng ni amamouh onae lengkaleng koe a kangdue awh teh ransanaw pueng teh a yawng laihoi a kangheng awh.
They each stood in his place around the camp, and all the army ran; and they shouted, and put them to flight.
22 Hahoi 300 touh ni mongka a ueng awh torei teh, BAWIPA ni a roenae hmuen koe amamouh hoi amamouh tahloi hoi a kâbouk sak teh, ransanaw hah Zererah koelae Beth-shittah, Tabbath teng e Abel-meholah ramri totouh a kangheng awh.
They blew the three hundred trumpets, and the LORD set every man’s sword against his fellow and against all the army; and the army fled as far as Beth Shittah toward Zererah, as far as the border of Abel Meholah, by Tabbath.
23 Isarelnaw teh hmuen touh koe Naphtali, Asher, hoi Manasseh pueng ni a kamkhueng awh teh Midiannaw hah a pâlei awh.
The men of Israel were gathered together out of Naphtali, out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued Midian.
24 Hottelah Gideon ni Ephraim mon pueng koe patounenaw a patoun teh, Midiannaw tuk hanelah cathuk awh nateh, Beth-barah hoi Jordan totouh tui a onae hah sut pawm awh, telah ati. Hottelah Ephraimnaw pueng teh a kamkhueng awh teh Beth-barah hoi Jordan totouh koung a la awh.
Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill country of Ephraim, saying, “Come down against Midian and take the waters before them as far as Beth Barah, even the Jordan!” So all the men of Ephraim were gathered together and took the waters as far as Beth Barah, even the Jordan.
25 Hahoi Midian ransabawi kahni touh Oreb hoi Zeeb hah a man awh. Oreb teh Oreb lungsong koe a thei awh teh, Zeeb teh Zeeb misur katinnae tangkom dawk a thei awh. Midiannaw hah a pâlei awh teh, Oreb hoi Zeeb e lû teh Jordan palang namran lah Gideon koe a poe awh.
They took the two princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb. They killed Oreb at Oreb’s rock, and Zeeb they killed at Zeeb’s wine press, as they pursued Midian. Then they brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon beyond the Jordan.
