< Judges 6 >
1 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord gave them into the hand of Madiam seven years.
Isarelnaw ni BAWIPA mithmu vah hno kahawihoehe a sak awh, hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni Midian kut dawk kum 7 touh san a toung sak.
2 And the hand of Madiam prevailed against Israel: and the children of Israel made for themselves because of Madiam the caves in the mountains, and the dens, and the holes in the rocks.
Midiannaw ni Isarelnaw teh a rektap dawkvah, Isarelnaw ni kâhro nahanlah mon dawk talai kâkhu ka cak poung lah a tai awh.
3 And it came to pass when the children of Israel sowed, that Madiam and Amalec went up, and the children of the east went up together with them.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Isarelnaw ni law a sak awh nah tangkuem koe Midiannaw, Amaleknaw, hoi Kanîtholae taminaw ni pou a tho sin awh teh, pou a tuk awh.
4 And they encamped against them, and destroyed their fruits until they came to Gaza; and they left not the support of life in the land of Israel, not even ox or ass amongst the herds.
Isarel ram thungvah tungpup rim a sak awh teh, talai dawk e ka paw e caticamu pueng Gaza totouh a raphoe pouh awh. Isarelnaw ni kâkawknae banghai tat pout laipalah, tu, maito, la totouh pek pouh awh hoeh.
5 For they and their stock came up, and their tents were with them, as the locust in multitude, and there was no number to them and their camels; and they came to the land of Israel, and laid it waste.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimouh ni saring hoi rim khuehoi samtong yit touh ka phat lah a tho awh. Amamouh hoi kalauknaw teh touk thai lah awm hoeh. Isarel ram raphoe hanelah a tho awh.
6 And Israel was greatly impoverished because of Madiam.
Midian kecu dawk Isarel teh puenghoi roedeng a khang awh dawkvah, BAWIPA a kaw awh.
7 And the children of Israel cried to the Lord because of Madiam.
Midiannaw kecu dawk Isarel ni BAWIPA a kaw toteh,
8 And the Lord sent a prophet to the children of Israel; and he said to them, Thus says the Lord God of Israel, I am he that brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and I brought you up out of the house of your bondage.
Isarelnaw koe BAWIPA ni profet buet touh a tha pouh.
9 And I delivered you out of the hand of Egypt, and out of the hand of all that afflicted you, and I cast them out before you; and I gave you their land.
Na ka rektap e Izip kut dawk hoi thoseh, na ka pacekpahleknaw kut dawk hoi thoseh, nangmanaw na taran ahawi awh teh, ahnimanaw hah nangmouh hmalah ka pâlei vaiteh, a ram roup na poe awh han.
10 And I said to you, I [am] the Lord your God: you shall not fear the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell; but you listened not to my voice.
Kai teh nangmae BAWIPA Cathut doeh. Nangmouh na onae dawk kaawm e Amonnaw e cathutnaw hah taket awh hanh, ka ti eiteh, ka lawk hah na ngai awh hoeh atipouh.
11 And an angel of the Lord came, and sat down under the fir tree, which was in Ephratha in the land of Joas father of Esdri; and Gedeon his son [was] threshing wheat in a wine-press in order to escape from the face of Madiam.
Hahoi BAWIPA e kalvantami a tho pouh teh, Ophrah kho, Abiezrit capa Joash e kathen kung rahim vah a tahung. Joash e capa Gideon teh amae cang hah Midiannaw ni a pâphawng hoeh nahanelah, misur katinnae teng vah a katin pouh.
12 And the angel of the Lord appeared to him and said to him, The Lord [is] with you, you mighty in strength.
BAWIPA e kalvantami ni ahni koe a kamphawng pouh teh, athakaawme ransa, BAWIPA teh nang koe ao atipouh navah,
13 And Gedeon said to him, [Be gracious] with me, my Lord: but if the Lord is with us, why have these evils found us? and where are all his miracles, which our fathers have related to us, saying, Did not the Lord bring us up out of Egypt? and now he has cast us out, and given us into the hand of Madiam.
Oe BAWIPA Cathut teh maimouh koe awm pawiteh, bangkongmaw hete hnonaw teh maimouh koe a pha sak vaw. Mintoenaw teh BAWIPA ni Izip ram hoi a tâco sak awh nahoehmaw, kai koe ouk a dei awh e kângairuhnonaw te nâne. Hatei, atuteh BAWIPA ni na pahnawt teh, Midian kut dawk na poe toe khe telah a ti.
14 And the angel of the Lord turned to him, and said, Go in this your strength, and you shall save Israel out of the hand of Madiam: behold, I have sent you.
Hahoi Bawipa ni a kamlang sin teh, atu na tawn e thaonae kâuep hoi cet haw, Midian kut dawk hoi Isarel teh rasat haw, Kai ni na patoun e nahoehmaw atipouh.
15 And Gedeon said to him, [Be gracious] with me, my Lord: whereby shall I save Israel? behold, my thousand is weakened in Manasse, and I am the least in my father's house.
Hahoi teh Gideon ni, BAWIPA kaimouh ni Isarelnaw bangtelah hoi maw ka rasa thai awh han vaw. Ka miphun teh Manasseh thung dawk hoe ka mathoe e, kama hai thoseh ka hmaunawngha thung dawk kathoungpounge lah ka o.
16 And the angel of the Lord said to him, The Lord shall be with you, and you shall strike Madiam as one man.
Hahoi BAWIPA ni a pato teh, hatei nang koe ka o han, Midiannaw teh tami buet touh na thei e patetlah na thei han doeh atipouh.
17 And Gedeon said to him, If now I have found mercy in your eyes, and you will do this day for me all that you have spoken of with me,
Gideon ni nang koehoi minhmai kahawi ka hmawt pawiteh, nang hoi atu kâpatonae panue nahanelah, kamnuenae hno buet touh na hmawt sak haw.
18 depart not hence until I come to you, and I will bring forth an offering and offer it before you: and he said, I will remain until you return.
Hno buetbuet touh ka sin vaiteh, na hmalah ka thokhai hoehroukrak hete hmuen koehoi na kampuen pouh hanh ei a telah ka kâhei navah ahni ni, na ban hoehroukrak ka o han a ti.
19 And Gedeon went in, and prepared a kid of the goats, and an ephah of fine flour unleavened; and he put the flesh in the basket, and poured the broth into the pot, and brought them forth to him under the turpentine tree, and drew near.
Gideon ni a cei teh, hmaeca buet touh, tavai ephah buet touh, tonphuenhoehe vaiyeinaw hah a sin teh, hmae moi hah tangthung dawk a pâseng teh, hmae moi hang teh hlaam dawk a ta teh, kalvantami aonae koe bengkengkung rahim a sin teh a poe.
20 And the angel of God said to him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and put them on that rock, and pour out the broth close by: and he did so.
Hahoi Cathut e kalvantami ni ahni koe, moi hoi tonphuenhoehe hah lat loe, hete talung van hrueng loe, a hang hoi awi loe atipouh. Hottelah a sak pouh.
21 And the angel of the Lord stretched out the end of the rod that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened bread; and fire came up out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened bread, and the angel of the Lord vanished from his sight.
Hahoi teh, BAWIPA e kalvantami ni a kut dawk a sin e sonron a dâw teh, moi hoi tonphuenhoehe vaiyei hah a nep. Hahoi talung thung hoi a tâco teh, moi hoi tonphuenhoehe vaiyei hmai he a kak pouh. BAWIPA e kalvantami teh yout a kahma pouh.
22 And Gedeon saw that he was an angel of the Lord; and Gedeon said, Ah, ah, Lord my God! for I have seen the angel of the Lord face to face.
Hat torei teh, Gideon ni BAWIPA e kalvantami tie a panue. Hahoi teh, Oe Bawipa Jehovah, atuteh BAWIPA e kalvantami minhmai rek ka hmu toe a ti.
23 And the Lord said to him, Peace be to you, fear not, you shall not die.
BAWIPA ni na lungpuen hanh. Yawhawinae awmseh. Nang teh na dout mahoeh.
24 And Gedeon built there an altar to the Lord, and called it The peace of the Lord, until this day, as it is still inEphratha of the father of Esdri.
Hote hmuen koe Gideon ni Bawipa hanlah thuengnae a sak teh, BAWIPA teh roumnae (Jehovah-shaloam) telah a phung. Abiezrit capa e hmuen koe Ophrah kho dawk sahnin ditouh ao.
25 And it came to pass in that night, that the Lord said to him, Take the young bullock which your father has, even the second bullock of seven years old, and you shall destroy the altar of Baal which your father has, and the grove which is by itthou shall destroy.
Hote hnin tangmin vah BAWIPA ni na poe e maito matawng hoi apâhni e kum sari touh e maitotan hah sin nateh, na pa ni a sak e Baal cathut thuengnae khoungroe hah raphoe nateh, khoungroe teng kaawm e Asherah thing hah tâtueng loe.
26 And you shall build an altar to the Lord your God on the top of this Maozi in the ordering[it], and you shall take the second bullock, and shall offer up whole burnt offerings with the wood of the grove, which you shall destroy.
Kai ni ka dei e patetlah hete talung van vah, BAWIPA hanlah thuengnae khoungroe na sak hnukkhu, na tâtueng e thing hoi apâhni e maito hah hmaisawi thuengnae lah sak loe atipouh.
27 And Gedeon took ten men of his servants, and did as the Lord spoke to him: and it came to pass, as he feared the house of his father and the men of the city if he should do it by day, that he did it by night.
Gideon ni amae sannaw 10 touh a kaw teh, BAWIPA ni a dei e patetlah a sak, a na pa e imthungkhunaw thoseh, khocanaw thoseh a taki teh, kanîthun vah a sak ngam hoeh dawkvah tangmin vah a sak.
28 And the men of the city rose up early in the morning; and behold, the altar of Baal had been demolished, and the grove by it had been destroyed; and they saw the second bullock, which Gedeon offered on the altar that had been built.
Amom khocanaw a thaw awh navah, Baal cathut e khoungroe peng a kâraphoe teh, ateng kaawm e Asherah thing hai a rawp teh, a hnukkhu sak e thuengnae khoungroe van vah, apâhni e maitotan thueng e hah a hmu awh.
29 And a man said to his neighbour, Who has done this thing? and they enquired and searched, and learnt that Gedeon the son of Joas had done this thing.
Hat toteh, hete hno heh apimouh ka sak telah buet touh hoi buet touh akung a kâkhei awh navah, hete hno teh Joash capa Gideon ni a sak telah tami tangawn ni ati awh.
30 And the men of the city said to Joas, Bring out your son, and let him die, because he has destroyed the altar of Baal, and because he has destroyed the grove that is by it.
Hattoteh khocanaw ni Joash koe, nange capa ni Baal cathutnaw e khoungroe peng a raphoe teh, ateng kaawm e Asherahkung hah a tâtueng dawkvah, ahni teh thei hanelah tâcawt sak hottelah atipouh awh.
31 And Gedeon the son of Joas said to all the men who rose up against him, Do you now plead for Baal, or will you save him? whoever will plead for him, let him be slain this morning: if he be a god let him plead for himself, [because] one has thrown down his altar.
Hateiteh, Joash ni ahnimouh koe nangmouh teh Baal cathut koelah maw na kampang awh han, hotnaw na rungngang awh han, ahni koelah kampang e tami teh, khodai hoehnahlan dout lawiseh. Baal teh cathut katang pawiteh, ahnie thuengnae khoungroe a raphoe kecu dawk, ama ni a sak e teh amamouh ni khang na lawiseh, telah bout atipouh.
32 And he called it in that day Jerobaal, saying, Let Baal plead thereby, because his altar has been thrown down.
Hottelah Baal cathut e khoungroe ka raphoe e tami teh, amamouh ni a sak e patetlah ahni ni khang sak lawiseh, ati teh, amae capa hah hat hnin vah, Jerubbaal telah a min a phung.
33 And all Madiam, and Amalek, and the sons of the east gathered themselves together, and encamped in the valley of Jezrael.
Hattoteh Midian tami, Amalek tami, Kanîtholae tami pueng a kamkhueng awh teh, Jezreel yawn tanghling dawk a roe awh.
34 And the Spirit of the Lord came upon Gedeon, and he blew with the horn, and Abiezer came to help after him.
BAWIPA e Muitha teh Gideon koe a pha. Gideon ni mongka a ueng teh, Abiezer capanaw ni a hnuk a kâbang awh.
35 And [Gedeon] sent messengers into all Manasse, and into Aser, and into Zabulon, and into Nephthali; and he went up to meet them.
A patounenaw hah Manasseh ram pueng dawk a patoun teh, Manasseh miphun pueng ni a kâbang awh. Asher ram, Zebulun ram, Naphtali ram koe lahai a patounenaw bout a patoun teh, ahnimanaw hai kamkhuengnae koe a tho awh.
36 And Gedeon said to God, If you will save Israel by my hand, as you have said,
Gideon ni Cathut koe nang ni na dei e patetlah Isarel miphunnaw hah kaie kut dawk hoi na hlout sak katang han na pawiteh,
37 behold, I put the fleece of wool in the threshing floor: if there be dew on the fleece only, and drought on all the ground, I shall know that you will save Israel by my hand, as you have said.
kai ni tu buet touh e muen hah thongma dawk ka ta han. Hote tumuen teh tadamtui cukruk bawm boilah, talai remphui pawiteh, na dei e patetlah Isarel miphunnaw kaie kut dawk hoi na rungngang han tie hah ka panue han.
38 And it was so: and he rose up early in the morning, and wrung the fleece, and dew dropped from the fleece, a bowl full of water.
Hatteh ka hei e patetlah ao. Amom a thaw teh, tumuen a kasu boteh tadamtui kawlung buet touh yikkawi.
39 And Gedeon said to God, Let not, I pray you, your anger be kindled with me, and I will speak yet once; I will even yet make one trial more with the fleece: let now the drought be upon the fleece only, and let there be dew on all the ground.
Gideon ni na lung khuek sak hanh ei, vai touh bout ka dei einei. Tu buet touh e muen hoi atu vai touh dueng na tanouk sak ei. Talai pueng tadamtui a duk vaiteh, tumuen remphui naseh, telah Cathut koe a hei e patetlah,
40 And God did so in that night; and there was drought on the fleece only, and on all the ground there was dew.
hote karum hai Cathut ni a sak pouh teh, talai pueng a duk teh tumuen remphui lah ao.
