Jongʼad Bura 3
1 Magi e oganda mane Jehova Nyasaye oweyo mondo otem jo-Israel duto mane ok osekalo e lweny moro amora e piny Kanaan.
And these [are] the nations which the Lord left to prove Israel with them, all that had not known the wars of Chanaan.
2 Mano notimo mana mondo opuonjgo nyikwa jo-Israel lweny, mago mane onge gi lony e kedo.
Only for the sake of the generations of Israel, to teach them war, only the men before them knew them not.
3 Ogendinigo ne gin: ruodhi abich mag jo-Filistia, jo-Kanaan duto, jo-Sidon, kod jo-Hivi mane odak e gode mag Lebanon kochakore got Baal Hermon nyaka got Lebo Hamath.
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 Jehova Nyasaye nowegi mondo otemgo jo-Israel kendo ongʼego ka ginyalo rito chike mane omiyo kweregi kokalo kuom Musa.
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 Jo-Israel nodak e kind jo-Kanaan, jo-Hiti, jo-Amor, jo-Perizi, jo-Hivi kod jo-Jebus.
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 Negikendo nyi ogendinigo bangʼe negichiwo nyigi mondo okend gi yawuot pinjego kendo negilamo nyisechegi.
And they took their daughters for wives to themselves, and they gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.
7 Jo-Israel notimo tim mamono e wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye; ne wigi owil gi Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachgi mi gitiyone Baal kod Ashera.
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 Mirimb Jehova Nyasaye mager nobiro kuom jo-Israel ma nojwangʼogi e lwet jo-Kushan-Rishathaim ruodh Aram-Naharaim, ma jo-Israel nobedo wasumbinigi kuom higni aboro.
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 To kane giywakne Jehova Nyasaye, nochiwonegi jakony, ma en Othniel wuod Kenaz, owadgi Kaleb matin, mane oresogi.
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 Roho mar Jehova Nyasaye nobiro kuome, mi nobedo jangʼad bura mar jo-Israel kendo negidhi e lweny. Jehova Nyasaye nochiwo Kushan-Rishathaim ruodh Aram e lwet Othniel, mane oloye.
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 Omiyo piny nobedo gi kwe kuom higni piero angʼwen; nyaka Othniel wuod Kenaz notho.
And the land was quiet forty years; and Gothoniel the son of Kenez died.
12 Jo-Israel nochako timo timbe mamono e wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye, kendo nikech timno, Jehova Nyasaye nochiwogi e lwet Eglon ruodh Moab.
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 Eglon kaachiel gi jo-Amon kod jo-Amalek, nobiro momonjo jo-Israel, mi gikawo Dala Maduongʼ mar Jeriko.
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 Jo-Israel nobedo e bwo loch Eglon ruodh Moab kuom higni apar gaboro.
And the children of Israel served Eglom the king of Moab eighteen years.
15 Jo-Israel nochako oywak ne Jehova Nyasaye mi nomiyogi jakony, Ehud, wuod Gera ja-Benjamin, mane racham. Jo-Israel noore gi chudo ir Eglon ruodh Moab.
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 Ehud nothedho pand ligangla ma dhoge ariyo ma borne dirom fut achiel gi nus, mane oliere e bamne korachwich ei lepe.
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 Ne ochiwo chudo ne Eglon ruodh Moab, mane ngʼat machwe ahinya.
And he went, and brought the presents to Eglom king of Moab, and Eglom [was] a very handsome man.
18 Bangʼ ka Ehud nosechiwo chudo, nooro jogo mane okelo chudo mondo odogi.
And it came to pass when [Aod] had made an end of offering his gifts, that he dismissed those that brought the gifts.
19 Kane oneno gigo mopa man Gilgal ne olokore en owuon kendo owacho niya, “An kodi gi wach ma lingʼ-lingʼ, yaye ruoth.” Ruoth nowacho niya, “Lingʼ thi!” Kendo joge duto mantie noa moweye.
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 Eka Ehud nosudo ire kama nobetie kende e agola ma malo mar ode mar yweyo, mane ojabetie ndalo oro mi owacho niya, “Nyasaye oora iri.” Ka Ruoth noa malo e kome,
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 norieyo bade koracham, mi owuodho ligangla koa e bamne korachwich kendo ochwoyo ii ruoth.
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 Ligangla nodonjo e iye molal kuno gi loge duto motuch nyaka e dier ngʼeye oko. Ehud ne ok opudho liganglano oko, kendo bor noume.
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 Eka Ehud nowuok gie otuchi manie wi tado; nochiego dhoudi manie agola mamalo mi olorogi.
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 Bangʼ kane osedhi, jotich nobiro kendo oyudo ka dhoudi manie agola mamalo olor. Negiwacho niya, “Nyaka bed ni okonyore e agola ma iye mar ot.”
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 Negirito ma wigi okuot, to kane ok oyawo dhout agola, negikawo kifungu kendo giyawogi. Kanyo negineno ruodhgi koriere e dier ot, kosetho.
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 Kane pod girito, Ehud noluchore mi owuok odhi. Ne okalo machiegni gi gik mopa mi opondo odhi Seira.
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 Kane ochopo kanyo, nogoyo turumbete e piny gode mag Efraim, kendo jo-Israel nolor kode piny koa e got, ka otelonegi.
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 Nowachonegi niya, “Luwauru, nimar Jehova Nyasaye osechiwo Moab, jasiku, e lwetu.” Omiyo ne giluwe kendo negikawo bath aora Jordan mane ochiko yo Moab, maonge ngʼama ne nyalo pondo mondo okadh aora Jordan.
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 E sechego neginego jo-Moab madirom alufu apar, jogo mongirore kendo maroteke; maonge ngʼama nopondo kata achiel.
And they struck Moab on that day about ten thousand men, every [lusty] person and every mighty man; and not a man escaped.
30 Chiengʼno Moab nobedo e bwo loch Israel, kendo piny nobedo gi kwe kuom higni piero aboro.
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 Bangʼ Ehud, Shamgar wuod Anath nobiro, en ema ne onego jo-Filistia mia auchiel gi bidhi. En bende noreso jo-Israel.
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.
