< Judges 7 >

1 Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people who were with him, rose up early, and encamped 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.
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.
2 And Jehovah said to Gideon, The people who are with thee 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.
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.
3 Now therefore proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whoever is fearful and trembling, let him return and depart from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty-two thousand, and there remained ten thousand.
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.
4 And Jehovah said to Gideon, The people are yet too many. Bring them down to the water, and I will try them for thee there. And it shall be, that of whom I say to thee, This man shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee, and of whomever I say to thee, This man shall not go with thee, the same shall not go.
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.
5 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, him thou shall set by himself. Likewise everyone who bows down upon his knees to drink.
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.
6 And 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 upon their knees to drink water.
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.
7 And Jehovah said to Gideon, By the three hundred men who lapped I will save you, and deliver the Midianites into thy hand. And let all the people go every man to his place.
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.
8 So the people took provision 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.
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.
9 And it came to pass the same night, that Jehovah said to him, Arise, get thee down into the camp, for I have delivered it into thy hand.
Hatnae tangmin vah, BAWIPA ni ahni koe, thaw nateh ahnimouh roenae koe cathuk sin haw, na kut dawk na poe toe.
10 But if thou fear to go down, go thou with Purah thy servant down to the camp.
Hatei, cathuk sin hane na taket pawiteh, na san Purah hoi rim koe cathuk roi haw.
11 And thou shall hear what they say, and afterward thy hands shall 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.
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.
12 And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the sons 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.
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.
13 And when Gideon came, behold, there was a man telling a dream to his fellow. And he said, Behold, I dreamed a dream. And, lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian, and came to the tent, and smote it so that it fell, and turned it upside down so that the tent lay flat.
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.
14 And his fellow answered and said, This is nothing else except the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel. Into his hand God has delivered Midian, and all the army.
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.
15 And it was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the interpretation of it, that he worshiped. And he returned into the camp of Israel, and said, Arise, for Jehovah has delivered the army of Midian into your hand.
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.
16 And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put trumpets into the hands of all of them, and empty pitchers, with torches inside the pitchers.
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.
17 And he said to 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 ye shall do.
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.
18 When I blow the trumpet, I and all who are with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, For Jehovah and for Gideon.
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.
19 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.
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.
20 And 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 cried out, The sword of Jehovah and of Gideon.
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.
21 And they stood every man in his place round about the camp. And all the army ran, and they shouted, and put them to flight.
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.
22 And they blew the three hundred trumpets, and Jehovah 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.
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.
23 And the men of Israel were gathered together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after Midian.
Isarelnaw teh hmuen touh koe Naphtali, Asher, hoi Manasseh pueng ni a kamkhueng awh teh Midiannaw hah a pâlei awh.
24 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, even the Jordan. So all the men of Ephraim were gathered together, and took the waters as far as Beth-barah, even the Jordan.
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.
25 And 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. And they brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon beyond the Jordan.
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.
