< 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,
Magi e oganda mane Jehova Nyasaye oweyo mondo otem jo-Israel duto mane ok osekalo e lweny moro amora e piny Kanaan.
2 Only to make the generations of the children of Israel to know, and to teach them warre, which doutles their predecessors knew not)
Mano notimo mana mondo opuonjgo nyikwa jo-Israel lweny, mago mane onge gi lony e kedo.
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.
Ogendinigo ne gin: ruodhi abich mag jo-Filistia, jo-Kanaan duto, jo-Sidon, kod jo-Hivi mane odak e gode mag Lebanon kochakore got Baal Hermon nyaka got Lebo Hamath.
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.
Jehova Nyasaye nowegi mondo otemgo jo-Israel kendo ongʼego ka ginyalo rito chike mane omiyo kweregi kokalo kuom Musa.
5 And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hiuites, and the Iebusites,
Jo-Israel nodak e kind jo-Kanaan, jo-Hiti, jo-Amor, jo-Perizi, jo-Hivi kod jo-Jebus.
6 And they tooke their daughters to bee their wiues, and gaue their daughters to their sonnes, and serued their gods.
Negikendo nyi ogendinigo bangʼe negichiwo nyigi mondo okend gi yawuot pinjego kendo negilamo nyisechegi.
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.
Jo-Israel notimo tim mamono e wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye; ne wigi owil gi Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachgi mi gitiyone Baal kod Ashera.
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.
Mirimb Jehova Nyasaye mager nobiro kuom jo-Israel ma nojwangʼogi e lwet jo-Kushan-Rishathaim ruodh Aram-Naharaim, ma jo-Israel nobedo wasumbinigi kuom higni aboro.
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.
To kane giywakne Jehova Nyasaye, nochiwonegi jakony, ma en Othniel wuod Kenaz, owadgi Kaleb matin, mane oresogi.
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.
Roho mar Jehova Nyasaye nobiro kuome, mi nobedo jangʼad bura mar jo-Israel kendo negidhi e lweny. Jehova Nyasaye nochiwo Kushan-Rishathaim ruodh Aram e lwet Othniel, mane oloye.
11 So the lande had rest fourtie yeeres, and Othniel the sonne of Kenaz dyed.
Omiyo piny nobedo gi kwe kuom higni piero angʼwen; nyaka Othniel wuod Kenaz notho.
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.
Jo-Israel nochako timo timbe mamono e wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye, kendo nikech timno, Jehova Nyasaye nochiwogi e lwet Eglon ruodh Moab.
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.
Eglon kaachiel gi jo-Amon kod jo-Amalek, nobiro momonjo jo-Israel, mi gikawo Dala Maduongʼ mar Jeriko.
14 So the children of Israel serued Eglon king of Moab eighteene yeeres.
Jo-Israel nobedo e bwo loch Eglon ruodh Moab kuom higni apar gaboro.
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.
Jo-Israel nochako oywak ne Jehova Nyasaye mi nomiyogi jakony, Ehud, wuod Gera ja-Benjamin, mane racham. Jo-Israel noore gi chudo ir Eglon ruodh Moab.
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,
Ehud nothedho pand ligangla ma dhoge ariyo ma borne dirom fut achiel gi nus, mane oliere e bamne korachwich ei lepe.
17 And he presented ye gift vnto Eglon King of Moab (and Eglon was a very fat man)
Ne ochiwo chudo ne Eglon ruodh Moab, mane ngʼat machwe ahinya.
18 And when he had now presented the present, he sent away the people that bare ye present,
Bangʼ ka Ehud nosechiwo chudo, nooro jogo mane okelo chudo mondo odogi.
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.
Kane oneno gigo mopa man Gilgal ne olokore en owuon kendo owacho niya, “An kodi gi wach ma lingʼ-lingʼ, yaye ruoth.” Ruoth nowacho niya, “Lingʼ thi!” Kendo joge duto mantie noa moweye.
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,
Eka Ehud nosudo ire kama nobetie kende e agola ma malo mar ode mar yweyo, mane ojabetie ndalo oro mi owacho niya, “Nyasaye oora iri.” Ka Ruoth noa malo e kome,
21 And Ehud put forth his left hand, and tooke the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his bellie,
Ehud norieyo bade koracham, mi owuodho ligangla koa e bamne korachwich kendo ochwoyo ii ruoth.
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.
Ligangla nodonjo e iye molal kuno gi loge duto motuch nyaka e dier ngʼeye oko. Ehud ne ok opudho liganglano oko, kendo bor noume.
23 Then Ehud gate him out into the porch, and shut the doores of the parler vpon him, and locked them.
Eka Ehud nowuok gie otuchi manie wi tado; nochiego dhoudi manie agola mamalo mi olorogi.
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.
Bangʼ kane osedhi, jotich nobiro kendo oyudo ka dhoudi manie agola mamalo olor. Negiwacho niya, “Nyaka bed ni okonyore e agola ma iye mar ot.”
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.
Negirito ma wigi okuot, to kane ok oyawo dhout agola, negikawo kifungu kendo giyawogi. Kanyo negineno ruodhgi koriere e dier ot, kosetho.
26 So Ehud escaped (while they taried) and was passed the quarris, and escaped vnto Seirah.
Kane pod girito, Ehud noluchore mi owuok odhi. Ne okalo machiegni gi gik mopa mi opondo odhi Seira.
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.
Kane ochopo kanyo, nogoyo turumbete e piny gode mag Efraim, kendo jo-Israel nolor kode piny koa e got, ka otelonegi.
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.
Nowachonegi niya, “Luwauru, nimar Jehova Nyasaye osechiwo Moab, jasiku, e lwetu.” Omiyo ne giluwe kendo negikawo bath aora Jordan mane ochiko yo Moab, maonge ngʼama ne nyalo pondo mondo okadh aora Jordan.
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.
E sechego neginego jo-Moab madirom alufu apar, jogo mongirore kendo maroteke; maonge ngʼama nopondo kata achiel.
30 So Moab was subdued that daye, vnder the hand of Israel: and the land had rest fourescore yeeres.
Chiengʼno Moab nobedo e bwo loch Israel, kendo piny nobedo gi kwe kuom higni piero aboro.
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.
Bangʼ Ehud, Shamgar wuod Anath nobiro, en ema ne onego jo-Filistia mia auchiel gi bidhi. En bende noreso jo-Israel.
