< Judges 3 >
1 The following are the nations the Lord left and used to test all those Israelites who had not known what it was like to be part of any of the wars in Canaan.
Ita, imbati ni Yahweh dagitoy a nasion a mangsubok iti Israel, tunggal maysa a saan pay a nakapadas iti uray ania kadagiti gubat a napasamak idiay Canaan
2 (He did so to teach warfare to the later generations of Israel, particularly to those who had not previously experienced it.)
(inaramidna daytoy tapno isuro ti pannakigubat kadagiti baro a henerasion dagiti Israelita a saan pay a makaammo idi iti daytoy):
3 They are: the five rulers of the Philistines, all the Canaanites, the Sidonians, and the Hivites living in the mountains of Lebanon from Mount Baal-hermon to Lebo-hamath.
dagiti lima nga ari dagiti Filisteo, dagiti amin a Cananeo, dagiti taga-Sidonia, ken dagiti Heveo a nagnaed idiay kabanbantayan ti Lebanon, manipud Bantay Baal Hermon agingga iti Bessang Hamat.
4 They were left there be to a test for the Israelites, to find out whether the Israelites would keep the Lord's commandments which he had given their forefathers through Moses.
Nabati dagitoy a nasion a kas pangsubok ni Yahweh iti Israel, tapno patalgedanna no agtulnogda met laeng kadagiti bilin nga intedna kadagiti kapuonanda babaen kenni Moises.
5 They lived among the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.
Nagnaed ngarud dagiti tattao ti Israel a kaduada dagiti Cananeo, dagiti Heteo, dagiti Amorreo, dagiti Perezzeo, dagiti Heveo, ken dagiti Jebuseo.
6 The Israelites intermarried with them, marrying their daughters, giving their own daughters to their sons, and worshiped their gods.
Innalada dagiti annakda a babbai tapno agbalin nga assawada, ken intedda dagiti bukodda nga annak a babbai kadagiti annakda a lallaki, ket nagserbida kadagiti diosda.
7 The Israelites did what was evil in the Lord's sight. They ignored the Lord their God and worshiped the images of Baals and Asherahs.
Inaramid dagiti tattao ti Israel ti dakes iti imatang ni Yahweh ken linipatda ni Yahweh a Diosda. Nagdayawda kadagiti Baal ken Asera.
8 The Lord became angry with Israel, so he sold them to Cushan-Rishathaim, king of Aram Naharaim. The Israelites were subject to Cushan-Rishathaim for eight years.
Ngarud, simged ti unget ni Yahweh iti Israel, ket inlakona ida iti ima ni Cusa Risathaim nga ari ti Aram Naharaim. Nagserbi dagiti tattao ti Israel kenni Cusa Risataim iti las-ud ti walo a tawen.
9 But when the Israelites cried out to the Lord to help them, he provided someone to rescue them, Othniel, son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, and he saved them.
Idi immawag dagiti tattao ti Israel kenni Yahweh, nangisaad ni Yahweh iti maysa a tao nga umay mangtulong kadagiti tattao ti Israel, ken mangispal kadakuada: ni Otniel nga anak ni Kenaz (adingen ni Caleb).
10 The Spirit of the Lord came on him, and he became Israel's judge. He went to war with Cushan-Rishathaim, king of Aram, and the Lord handed the king over to Othniel, who was victorious.
Pinapigsa isuna iti Espiritu ni Yahweh, ket nagbalin isuna nga ukom iti Israel ket napan nakigubat isuna. Inted ni Yahweh kenkuana ti panagballigi kenni Cusan Risataim nga ari ti Aram. Ti pannakabalin ni Otniel ti nangparmek kenni Cusan Rasataim.
11 As a result, the country was a peace for forty years until Othniel, son of Kenaz, died.
Naaddan iti kappia ti daga iti las-ud ti uppat a pulo a tawen. Kalpasanna, natay ni Otniel nga anak ni Kenaz.
12 But once again the Israelites did what was evil in the Lord's sight, and because they did this the Lord gave power to Eglon, king of Moab, to conquer Israel.
Nagsukir manen dagiti tattao ti Israel kenni Yahweh babaen iti panangar-aramidda kadagiti dakes a banbanag, ket nakitana ti inaramidda. Isu a pinabileg ni Yahweh ni Eglon nga ari ti Moab idi rinautna ti Israel, gapu ta nagaramid ti Israel kadagiti dakes a banbanag, ken nakita ni Yahweh ida.
13 Eglon had the Ammonites and the Amalekite join him, and then attacked and defeated Israel, taking possession of the City of Palms.
Kimmadua ni Eglon kadagiti Ammonita ken Amalekita ket napanda ken pinarmekda ti Israel, ket tinagikuada ti Siudad dagiti Palma.
14 The Israelites were subject to Eglon, king of Moab, for eighteen years.
Nagserbi dagiti tattao ti Israel kenni Eglon nga ari ti Moab iti las-ud iti sangapulo ket walo a tawen.
15 Again the Israelites cried out to the Lord to help them, and he provided someone to rescue them, Ehud, son of Gera the Benjamite, a left-handed man. The Israelites sent him to pay the tribute to Eglon, king of Moab.
Ngem idi immawag dagiti tattao ti Israel kenni Yahweh, nangisaad ni Yahweh iti maysa a tao a tumulong kadakuada, ni Ehud nga anak ni Gera, maysa a lalaki manipud iti tribu ti Benjamin, ken maysa a lalaki a kattigid. Imbaon isuna dagiti tattao ti Israel nga awitna ti bayadda a buis kenni Eglon nga ari ti Moab.
16 Ehud had made for himself a cubit long double-edged sword, and he strapped it to his right thigh under his clothes.
Nangaramid ni Ehud iti kampilanna a dua ti tademna, maysa a kubiko ti kaatiddugna; intalina daytoy iti akin-kannawan a luppona iti uneg ti pagan-anayna.
17 He came and presented the tribute to Eglon, king of Moab, who was a very fat man.
Intedna ti bayad a buis kenni Ari Eglon ti Moab. (Ni Eglon ket maysa a nalukmeg a tao.)
18 Then after delivering the tribute he sent home those who had helped carry it.
Kalpasan a naidatag ni Ehud ti buis a bayad kenni Eglon, pimmanaw isuna a kaduana dagiti nangiyuneg iti daytoy.
19 But when he reached the stone idols near Gilgal, he turned back. He went to see Eglon, and told him, “Your Majesty, I have a secret message for you.” The king told his attendants, “Silence!” and they all left.
Nupay kasta, idi nadanon ni Ehud ti lugar a pagaramidan kadagiti nakitikitan nga imahe iti asideg ti Gilgal, timmalikud isuna ket nagsubli, ken kinunana, “Adda iti palimed a mensahek kenka, o arik.” Kinuna ni Eglon, “Talna!” Isu pimmanaw iti siled dagiti amin nga agserserbi kenkuana.
20 Ehud then went over to where Eglon was sitting alone in his cool upstairs room, and told him, “I have a message from God for you.” As the king got up from his seat,
Napan ni Ehud kenkuana. Agtugtugaw idi ti ari nga agmaymaysa iti kinalamiis iti akin-ngato a siled. Kinuna ni Ehud, “Adda iti mensahek para kenka manipud iti Dios.” Timmakder ti ari manipud iti tugawna.
21 Ehud grabbed his sword with his left hand from his right thigh and drove it into Eglon's belly.
Innala ni Ehud ti kampilanna babaen iti kannigid nga imana manipud iti makin-kannawan a luppona, ket induyokna daytoy iti bagi ti ari.
22 The handle went in with the blade and the fat closed over it. So Ehud didn't pull the sword out, and the king defecated.
Ket simrek pay ti putan ti kampilan kalpasan iti tademna, simmalput ti murdongna iti bukotna, ket tininep iti kinalukmegna ti tadem, ta saan nga inuksot ni Ehud ti kampilan manipud iti bagina.
23 Then Ehud closed and locked the doors, and escaped through the toilet.
Kalpasanna, rimuar ni Ehud iti bangsal ket inrekepna dagiti ruangan iti akin-ngato a siled iti likudanna sana inkandado dagitoy.
24 After he had left, the servants came and saw that the doors of the room were locked. “He must be using the toilet,” they concluded.
Idi nakapanaw ni Ehud, immay dagiti adipen ti ari; nakitada a nakakandado dagiti ruangan ti akin-ngato a siled, isu nga impagarupda, “Pudno nga agin-inana isuna iti kinalamiis iti akin-ngato a siled.”
25 So they waited until they couldn't stand it any more, and since he still hadn't opened the doors of the room, they went and found the key and opened the doors. There was their lord, lying dead on the floor.
Ad-adda a naseknanda agingga a nariknada a nabaybay-anda ti pagrebbenganda idi saan latta a linukatan ti ari dagiti ruangan ti akin-ngato a siled. Isu nga innalada ti tulbek ket linukatanda dagitoy, ket adda sadiay ti amoda a napasag iti suelo a natayen.
26 While the servants delayed acting, Ehud escaped, passing the stone idols and on to Seirah.
Kabayatan nga agur-uray dagiti adipen, nga agpanpanunot no ania ti rumbeng nga aramidenda, naglibas ni Ehud ket limmabas iti lugar nga addaan kadagiti nakitikitan a ladawan dagiti didiosen, ket naglibas ngarud isuna a nagturong iti Seira.
27 When he got there, he blew a trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim, and the Israelites joined him. They went down from the hills, with Ehud leading them.
Idi simmangpet isuna, pinagunina ti trumpeta idiay katurturodan a pagilian ti Efraim. Kalpasanna, kimmuyog kenkuana dagiti tattao ti Israel a sumalog manipud kadagiti turod, ket indadauloanna ida.
28 He told them, “Follow me, for the Lord has handed Moab, your enemy, over to you.” So they followed him down and took control of the fords of the Jordan leading to Moab. They didn't let anyone cross.
Kinunana kadakuada, “Surotendak, ta dandanin parmeken ni Yahweh dagiti kabusoryo a Moabita.” Simmurotda kenkuana ket nasakupda dagiti pagballasiwan ti Jordan a batog dagiti Moabita, ket saanda nga impalubos a makaballasiw ti siasinoman iti karayan.
29 Then they attacked the Moabites and killed around 10,000 of their best and strongest fighting men. Not a single one escaped.
Iti dayta a tiempo, napapatayda ti agarup sangapulo ribu a lallaki ti Moab, amin ket napigsa ken makabael a lallaki. Awan ti uray maysa a nakalibas.
30 Moab was conquered that day and made subject to Israel, and the country was at peace for eighty years.
Isu nga iti dayta nga aldaw, naparmek ti Moab babaen iti bileg ti Israel. Ket naginana ti daga iti las-ud ti walo-pulo a tawen.
31 After Ehud was Shamgar, son of Anath, who killed six hundred Philistines with an oxgoad. He also rescued Israel.
Kalpasan ni Ehud, ti simmaruno nga ukom ket ni Samgar nga anak ni Anat, a nangpatay iti innem a gasut a lallaki ti Filistia babaen iti kayo a pagabug kadagiti baka. Inispalna pay ti Israel manipud iti peggad.
