Judges 3
1 And these are the nations that Jehovah left, to prove Israel by them, all that had not known all the wars of Canaan;
namtom rhoek khaw Kanaan kah caemtloek pakhat khaw aka ming pawh Israel boeih te noemcai ham ni BOEIPA loh a hlun.
2 only that the generations of the children of Israel might know war by learning it, at the least those who before had known nothing thereof:
Te daengah ni a mikhmuh ah caemtloek aka ming pawh Israel ca rhoek ka cadilcahma loh caemtloeka cang ham te a ming eh.
3 five lord ships of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwell on mount Lebanon; from mount Baal-Hermon unto the entering into Hamath.
Te vaengah Philisti boei panga neh Kanaan boeih Baalhermon tlang lamloh Lebokhamath duela Lebanon tlang ah kho aka sa Sidoni neh Khivee rhoek te khaw,
4 And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would obey the commandments of Jehovah, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
BOEIPA kah olpaek tea yaak uh nim? Te nen te noemcai ham tih Israel te ming sak ham om coeng. Te te Moses kut lamloh a napa rhoek a uen coeng.
5 And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites: Hittites and Amorites and Perizzites and Hivites and Jebusites;
Te dongah Isreal ca rhoek loh Kanaan kah Khitti, Amori Perizzi, Khivee neh Jebusi lakli ah kho a sak uh.
6 and they took their daughters as wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.
Amih nu te a yuu laa loh uh tih a ca rhoek te amih Kanaan nu tea paek uh dongah amih kah sungrhai taengah tho a thueng uh.
7 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and forgot Jehovah their God, and served the Baals and the Asherahs.
Te vaengkah Israel ca rhoek BOEIPA mikhmuh ah thaea saii uh tih BOEIPA a Pathen tea hnilh uh dongah Baal neh Asherah te tho a thueng thiluh.
8 And the anger of Jehovah was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia; and the children of Israel served Chushan-rishathaim eight years.
Te vaengah BOEIPA kah thintoek Israel taengah sai. Te dongah amih te Aramnaharaim manghai Kushanrishathaim kut aha yoih tih Israel ca rhoek te Kushanrishathaim taengah kum rhet thotat uh.
9 And the children of Israel cried to Jehovah; and Jehovah raised up a saviour to the children of Israel, who saved them, Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.
Tedae Israel ca rhoek te BOEIPA taengah pang uh tih Israel ca rhoek ham khangkung te BOEIPA loh a thoh pah. Te vaengah Kaleb amah lakah aka noe, a mana Kenaz capa Othniel loh amih te a khang.
10 And the Spirit of Jehovah was upon him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war, and Jehovah gave Chushan-rishathaim king of Syria into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushan-rishathaim.
Anih te BOEIPA Mueihla loh a om thil dongah Israel ham lai a tloek pah. Caemtloek laa caeh vaengah Aram manghai Kushanrishathaim te anih kut ah BOEIPA loh a paek. Te dongah a kut te Kushanrishathaim soah taenglue.
11 And the land had rest forty years; and Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
Te dongah khohmuen he kum sawmli mong tih Kenaz capa Othniel khaw duek.
12 And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of Jehovah; and Jehovah strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they did evil in the sight of Jehovah.
Tedae BOEIPA mikhmuh ah thae saii ham Israel ca rhoek loh a khoep uh tih BOEIPA mikhmuh ah thaea saii uh dongah Israel soah Moab manghai Eglon te BOEIPA loh a tanglue sak.
13 And he gathered to him the children of Ammon and Amalek and went and smote Israel, and they took possession of the city of palm-trees.
Te vaengah Ammon neh Amalek koca rhoek tah anih taengla kibaeng uh. Israel tea paan tiha tloek dongah rhophoe khopuei tea huul uh.
14 And the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
Te dongah Isreal ca rhoek te Moab manghai Eglon taengah kum hlai rhet thotat uh.
15 And the children of Israel cried to Jehovah, and Jehovah raised them up a saviour, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjaminite, a man left-handed. And by him the children of Israel sent a gift to Eglon king of Moab.
Israel ca rhoek loh BOEIPA tea pang thil uh vaengah amih ham khangkung la Benjamin koca, Gera capa Ehud te, BOEIPA loh a thoh pah. Anih te bantang kut aka poem hlang ni. Te dongah Israel ca rhoek loh anih kut dongah Moab manghai Eglon ham khocanga pat uh.
16 And Ehud made him a sword having two edges, it was of a cubit length; and he girded it under his raiment upon his right hip.
Te vaengah Ehud amah ham cunghanga saii tih a ha rhaepnit neh a sen dongkhat lo. Te te a himbai khui kah a bantang phai laa kaelh.
17 And he brought the gift to Eglon king of Moab; now Eglon was a very fat man.
Moab manghai Eglon taengla khocanga thak vaengah Eglona sak hoeng paduk la om.
18 And it came to pass when he had ended offering the gift, he sent away the people that had borne the gift.
Khocang nawn ham te bawt a coeng phoeiah khocang aka phuei pilnam tea tueih.
19 But he turned from the graven images that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret word unto thee, O king. And he said, Be silent! And all that stood by him went out from him.
Tedae amah te tah Gilgal kah mueidaep ah bal tih “Manghai nang ham kai taengah yinhnuk ol om,” a ti nah. Te dongah manghai loh, “Saah lah,” a ti nah tih a taengkah aka pai boeih te anih taeng lamloh nong uh.
20 And Ehud came to him; now he was sitting in the cool upper-chamber, which was for him alone. And Ehud said, I have a word from God unto thee. And he arose from the seat.
Te dongah nohung imhman ah amah buenga ngol vaengah Ehud loh a paan. Te phoeiah Ehud loh, “Nang hamla kai taengah Pathen kah olka om,” a ti nah. Te vaengah ngolkhoel dong lamloh thoo.
21 Then Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the sword from his right hip, and thrust it into his belly;
Ehud loh banvoei kut tea yueng phoeiah a bantang phai kaep kah cunghanga loh tih manghai kah a bung khuila a thun pah.
22 and the haft also went in after the blade, and the fat closed upon the blade; for he did not draw the sword out of his belly, and it came out between the legs.
Te vaengah thihna hnukaha tueng pataeng khaw muelh. A bung lamkah cunghang tea bong pah pawt dongah thiha tea tha loh a yol tiha aek khaw coe.
23 And Ehud went out into the portico, and shut the doors of the upper-chamber upon him, and bolted them.
Ehud te imkawt la cet imhman thohkhaih te a hnukah khoep a dan tiha kalh.
24 And when he was gone out, the servants of the [king] came and saw, and behold, the doors of the upper-chamber were bolted. And they said, Surely he is covering his feet in the summer chamber.
Aniha caeh phoei daengah manghai sal rhoek te ha pawk uh hatah imhman thohkhaih khoep a kalh uh te lawta hmuh uh. Te dongah, “Nohung imhman ah a kho a khuk pueng muema “a ti uh.
25 And they waited till they were ashamed; and behold, he opened not the doors of the upper-chamber, and they took the key, and opened [them], and behold, their lord lay dead on the earth.
A yah duelaa rhing uh dae imhman thohkhaih te ong tarha pawh. Te dongah cabia loh uh tiha ong uh hatah a boei te diklai aha duek la tarha ana yalh pah.
26 And Ehud had escaped while they lingered, and passed beyond the graven images, and escaped to Seirah.
Amiha uelh uh vaengah Ehud tah vawl loeih. Te dongah anih tah mueidaep rhoek tea poeng tih Seirah duela loeih.
27 And it came to pass when he was come, that he blew a trumpet in the hill-country of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the hill-country, and he before them.
A pha van neh Ephraim tlang ah tukia ueng. Te vaengah tlang lamkah Israel ca rhoek tah anih taengla suntla uh. Tedae anih te amih hmai la om coeng.
28 And he said to them, Follow after me, for Jehovah has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of the Jordan toward Moab, and suffered no one to pass over.
Te phoeiah Ehud loh amih te “Na thunkha Moab te BOEIPA loh nangmih kut dongla m'paek coeng dongah kai hnuk han hloem uh,” a ti nah. Te dongah anih hnukah suntla uh tih Moab te Jordan lamkai ah a tuuk uh tih hlang pakhat khaw kat sak ham pae uh pawh.
29 And they slew the Moabites at that time, about ten thousand men, all fat, and all men of valour, and not a man escaped.
Te vaeng tue kah Moab a tloek te hlang rhalh boeih neh tatthai hlang boeih te thawng rha tluk lo tih hlang pakhat khaw loeih sak pawh.
30 And Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest eighty years.
Te khohnin ah Moab loh Israel kut hmuiah kunyun sut tih khohmuen loh kum sawmrhet khuiah mong.
31 And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath; and he smote the Philistines, six hundred men, with an ox-goad. And he also delivered Israel.
Ehud phoeiah tah Anath capa Shamgar om tih Philisti hlang ya rhuk neh vaito ciksum te a tloek phoeiah Israel te khawa khang.
