< Judges 3 >
1 These nowe are the nations which the Lord left, that he might proue Israel by them (euen as many of Israel as had not knowen all the warres 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 to make the generations of the children of Israel to know, and to teach them warre, which doutles their predecessors knew not)
Te daengah ni a mikhmuh ah caemtloek aka ming pawh Israel ca rhoek ka cadilcahma loh caemtloek a cang ham te a ming eh.
3 Fiue princes of the Philistims, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hiuites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baal-hermon vntill one come to 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 these remayned to proue Israel by them, to wit, whether they would obey the commandements of the Lord, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
BOEIPA kah olpaek te a 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, the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hiuites, and the Iebusites,
Te dongah Isreal ca rhoek loh Kanaan kah Khitti, Amori Perizzi, Khivee neh Jebusi lakli ah kho a sak uh.
6 And they tooke their daughters to bee their wiues, and gaue their daughters to their sonnes, and serued their gods.
Amih nu te a yuu la a loh uh tih a ca rhoek te amih Kanaan nu te a paek uh dongah amih kah sungrhai taengah tho a thueng uh.
7 So the children of Israel did wickedly in the sight of the Lord, and forgate the Lord their God, and serued Baalim, and Asheroth.
Te vaengkah Israel ca rhoek BOEIPA mikhmuh ah thae a saii uh tih BOEIPA a Pathen te a hnilh uh dongah Baal neh Asherah te tho a thueng thiluh.
8 Therefore the wrath of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he solde them into the hand of Chushan rishathaim King of Aram-naharaim, and the children of Israel serued Chushan rishathaim eyght yeeres.
Te vaengah BOEIPA kah thintoek Israel taengah sai. Te dongah amih te Aramnaharaim manghai Kushanrishathaim kut ah a yoih tih Israel ca rhoek te Kushanrishathaim taengah kum rhet thotat uh.
9 And when the children of Israel cryed vnto the Lord, the Lord stirred vp a sauiour to ye children of Israel, and he saued them, euen Othniel the sonne of Kenaz, Calebs yonger 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 spirite of the Lord came vpon him, and he iudged Israel, and went out to warre: and the Lord deliuered Chushan rishathaim king of Aram into his hand, and his hand preuailed against Chushan rishathaim.
Anih te BOEIPA Mueihla loh a om thil dongah Israel ham lai a tloek pah. Caemtloek la a caeh vaengah Aram manghai Kushanrishathaim te anih kut ah BOEIPA loh a paek. Te dongah a kut te Kushanrishathaim soah taenglue.
11 So the lande had rest fourtie yeeres, and Othniel the sonne of Kenaz dyed.
Te dongah khohmuen he kum sawmli mong tih Kenaz capa Othniel khaw duek.
12 Then the children of Israel againe committed wickednesse in the sight of the Lord: and the Lord strengthened Eglon King of Moab against Israel, because they had committed wickednesse before the Lord.
Tedae BOEIPA mikhmuh ah thae saii ham Israel ca rhoek loh a khoep uh tih BOEIPA mikhmuh ah thae a saii uh dongah Israel soah Moab manghai Eglon te BOEIPA loh a tanglue sak.
13 And he gathered vnto him the children of Ammon, and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and they possessed the citie of palme trees.
Te vaengah Ammon neh Amalek koca rhoek tah anih taengla kibaeng uh. Israel te a paan tih a tloek dongah rhophoe khopuei te a huul uh.
14 So the children of Israel serued Eglon king of Moab eighteene yeeres.
Te dongah Isreal ca rhoek te Moab manghai Eglon taengah kum hlai rhet thotat uh.
15 But when the children of Israel cried vnto the Lord, the Lord stirred them vp a sauiour, Ehud the sonne of Gera the sonne of Iemini, a man lame of his right hande: and the children of Israel sent a present by him vnto Eglon King of Moab.
Israel ca rhoek loh BOEIPA te a 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 khocang a pat uh.
16 And Ehud made him a dagger with two edges of a cubite length, and he did gird it vnder his rayment vpon his right thigh,
Te vaengah Ehud amah ham cunghang a saii tih a ha rhaepnit neh a sen dongkhat lo. Te te a himbai khui kah a bantang phai la a kaelh.
17 And he presented ye gift vnto Eglon King of Moab (and Eglon was a very fat man)
Moab manghai Eglon taengla khocang a thak vaengah Eglon a sak hoeng paduk la om.
18 And when he had now presented the present, he sent away the people that bare ye present,
Khocang nawn ham te bawt a coeng phoeiah khocang aka phuei pilnam te a tueih.
19 But he turned againe from the quarris, that were by Gilgal, and said, I haue a secret errand vnto thee, O King. Who said, Keepe silence: and all that stoode about 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 Then Ehud came vnto him. (and he sate alone in a sommer parler, which he had) and Ehud said, I haue a message vnto thee from God. Then he arose out of his throne,
Te dongah nohung imhman ah amah bueng a 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 And Ehud put forth his left hand, and tooke the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his bellie,
Ehud loh banvoei kut te a yueng phoeiah a bantang phai kaep kah cunghang a loh tih manghai kah a bung khuila a thun pah.
22 So that the hafte went in after the blade, and the fatte closed about the blade, so that he could not drawe the dagger out of his bellie, but the dirt came out.
Te vaengah thihna hnukah a tueng pataeng khaw muelh. A bung lamkah cunghang te a bong pah pawt dongah thiha te a tha loh a yol tih a aek khaw coe.
23 Then Ehud gate him out into the porch, and shut the doores of the parler vpon him, and locked them.
Ehud te imkawt la cet imhman thohkhaih te a hnukah khoep a dan tih a kalh.
24 And when he was gone out, his seruantes came: who seeing that the doores of the parler were locked, they sayd, Surely he doeth his easement in his sommer chamber.
Anih a caeh phoei daengah manghai sal rhoek te ha pawk uh hatah imhman thohkhaih khoep a kalh uh te lawt a hmuh uh. Te dongah, “Nohung imhman ah a kho a khuk pueng muema “a ti uh.
25 And they taryed till they were ashamed: and seeing he opened not the doores of the parler, they tooke the key, and opened them, and behold, their lord was fallen dead on the earth.
A yah duela a rhing uh dae imhman thohkhaih te ong tarha pawh. Te dongah cabi a loh uh tih a ong uh hatah a boei te diklai ah a duek la tarha ana yalh pah.
26 So Ehud escaped (while they taried) and was passed the quarris, and escaped vnto Seirah.
Amih a uelh uh vaengah Ehud tah vawl loeih. Te dongah anih tah mueidaep rhoek te a poeng tih Seirah duela loeih.
27 And when he came home, he blew a trumpet in mount Ephraim, and the children of Israel went downe with him from the mountaine, and he went before them.
A pha van neh Ephraim tlang ah tuki a ueng. Te vaengah tlang lamkah Israel ca rhoek tah anih taengla suntla uh. Tedae anih te amih hmai la om coeng.
28 Then said he vnto them, Follow me: for the Lord hath deliuered your enemies, euen Moab into your hand. So they went downe after him, and tooke the passages of Iorden towarde Moab, and suffred not a man to passe ouer.
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 slewe of the Moabites the same time about ten thousand men, all fed men, and all were warriours, and there escaped not a man.
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 So Moab was subdued that daye, vnder the hand of Israel: and the land had rest fourescore yeeres.
Te khohnin ah Moab loh Israel kut hmuiah kunyun sut tih khohmuen loh kum sawmrhet khuiah mong.
31 And after him was Shamgar the sonne of Anath, which slewe of the Philistims sixe hundreth men with an oxe goade, and he also deliuered Israel.
Ehud phoeiah tah Anath capa Shamgar om tih Philisti hlang ya rhuk neh vaito ciksum te a tloek phoeiah Israel te khaw a khang.
