Judges 6
1 Afterwarde the children of Israel committed wickednesse in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord gaue them into the handes of Midian seuen yeres.
Israel ca rhoek loh BOEIPA mikhmuh ah thae a saii. Te dongah BOEIPA loh amih te kum rhih khuiah Midian kut ah a paek.
2 And the hand of Midian preuayled against Israel, and because of the Midianites the children of Israel made them dennes in the mountaines, and caues, and strong holdes.
Te dongah Midian mikhmuh ah Midian kut te Israel soah tanglue. Israel ca rhoek loh amamih ham buep te tlang, lungko neh, rhalmahim ah a tuk uh.
3 When Israel had sowen, then came vp the Midianites, the Amalekites, and they of the East, and came vpon them,
Israel kah a lotawn khaw Midian, Amalek neh khothoeng ca loh ham paan tih a luei thil uh.
4 And camped by them, and destroyed the fruite of the earth, euen til thou come vnto Azzah, and left no foode for Israel, neither sheepe, nor oxe, nor asse.
Amih te a rhaeh thil uh tih khohmuen cangpai te a phae uh. Gaza duela na ka cet te Israel neh tu, vaito, laak ham kangna khaw hinglu hlawtnah paih uh pawh.
5 For they went vp, and their cattel, and came with their tentes as grashoppers in multitude: so that they and their camels were without number: and they came into the land to destroy it.
Amih loh a dap te boiva neh a paan uh. A paan uh vaengah hlangping neh kaisih bangla muep ha pawk uh. Te vaengah amih neh a kalauk rhoek tah tae lek na moenih. Te dongah khohmuen phae ham ni a muk uh.
6 So was Israel exceedingly impouerished by the Midianites: therefore the children of Israel cryed vnto the Lord.
Midian mikhmuh ah Israel he bahoeng a tlayae coeng dongah Israel ca rhoek loh BOEIPA a pang thil uh.
7 And when the children of Israel cryed vnto the Lord because of the Midianites,
Midian kawng dongah BOEIPA te Israel ca rhoek loh a pang thil uh khaw ana om coeng.
8 The Lord sent vnto the children of Israel a Prophet, who sayd vuto them, Thus sayth the Lord God of Israel, I haue brought you vp from Egypt, and haue brought you out of the house of bondage,
Te vaengah Israel ca rhoek ham tonghma pakhat te BOEIPA loh a tueih tih amih te, “Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh, ‘Nangmih he kai loh Egypt lamkah kan doek tih sal imkhui lamloh nangmih he kam poh.
9 And I haue deliuered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all that oppressed you, and haue cast them out before you, and giuen you their land.
Egypt kut lamkah khaw, nangmih aka nen kut cungkuem lamkah khaw, nangmih kan lat coeng. Nangmih mikhmuh lamloh amih te ka haek tih amih khohmuen te nangmih kam paek.
10 And I sayde vnto you, I am the Lord your God: feare not the gods of the Amorites in whose lande you dwell: but ye haue not obeyed my voyce.
Te vaengah nangmih taengah, “Kai tah BOEIPA na Pathen ni, a khohmuen ah na om uh thil Amori pathen te rhih uh boeh,” ka ti lalah ka ol na hnatun uh pawh,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
11 And the Angell of the Lord came, and sate vnder the oke which was in Ophrah, that perteined vnto Ioash the father of the Ezrites, and his sonne Gideon threshed wheate by the winepresse, to hide it from the Midianites.
BOEIPA kah puencawn te koep ha pawk tih Ophrah kah rhokael hmuiah ngol. Te vaengah Midian mikhmuh lamkah rhaelrham ham Abiezer Joash neh a capa Gideon loh misur rhom ah cang a boh.
12 Then the Angel of the Lord appeared vnto him, and said vnto him, The Lord is with thee, thou valiant man.
Anih taengah khaw BOEIPA puencawn a phoe pah tih, “Tatthai hlangrhalh nang taengah BOEIPA om,” a ti nah.
13 To whome Gideon answered, Ah my Lord, if the Lord be with vs, why then is all this come vpon vs? and where be all his miracles which our fathers tolde vs of, and sayd, Did not the Lord bring vs out of Egypt? but now the Lord hath forsaken vs, and deliuered vs into the hand of the Midianites.
Tedae anih te Gideon loh, “Ka boeipa, kaimih taengah BOEIPA om ta. Tedae balae tih kaimih taengah a cungkuem he a thoeng? A khobaerhambae cungkuem te melae? Te te kaimih taengah a pa loh a thui vaengah tah, ‘Kaimih he BOEIPA loh Egypt lamkah n'doek moenih a?’ a ti. Tedae BOEIPA loh kaimih he n'phap tih Midian kut ah kaimih n'tloeng coeng he,” a ti nah.
14 And the Lord looked vpon him, and sayd, Goe in this thy might, and thou shalt saue Israel out of the handes of the Midianites: haue not I sent thee?
Te vaengah BOEIPA te anih taengla la hooi uh tih, “Na thadueng neh cet lamtah Midian kut lamkah Israel he khang laeh. Nang kan tueih rhoe moenih a?” a ti nah.
15 And he answered him, Ah my Lord, whereby shall I saue Israel? beholde, my father is poore in Manasseh, and I am the least in my fathers house.
Te dongah amah te, “Ka Boeipa aw, Israel he ba nen lae ka khang eh? Manasseh khuiah tattloel la kai he thawngkhat ka lo tih, a pa imko khuiah kai ni canoi coeng,” a ti nah.
16 Then the Lord sayd vnto him, I wil therefore be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites, as one man.
Tedae anih te BOEIPA loh, “Nang taengah ka om vetih Midian te hlang pakhat banglam ni na tloek ngawn eh,” a ti nah.
17 And he answered him, I pray thee, if I haue founde fauour in thy sight, then shewe me a signe, that thou talkest with me.
Te vaengah Gideon loh, “Na mikhmuh ah mikdaithen ni ka dang atah kai taengah na thui te miknoek la kai taengah han saii laeh.
18 Depart not hence, I pray thee, vntil I come vnto thee, and bring mine offring, and lay it before thee. And he sayde, I will tary vntill thou come againe.
Nang taengla ka pawk tih ka khosaa kang khuen te na mikhmuh ah ka tloeng duela he lamloh ana nong boel dae,” a ti nah. Te dongah, “Kai khaw na bal duela kana om bitni,” a ti nah.
19 Then Gideon went in, and made ready a kidde, and vnleauened bread of an Ephah of floure, and put the flesh in a basket, and put the broth in a pot, and brought it out vnto him vnder the oke, and presented it.
Gideon te cet tih maae ca neh vaidam te vaidamding la cangnoek pakhat a hmoel. Maeh te vaihang dongah a doh phoeiah maehhang te am khuiah a thun. Te phoeiah rhokael hmui kah puencawn taengla a khuen tih a tawn pah.
20 And the Angell of God saide vnto him, Take the flesh and the vnleauened bread, and lay them vpon this stone, and powre out the broth: and he did so.
Pathen kah puencawn loh Gideon taengah, “Maeh neh vaidamding te lo lamtah thaelpang soah tloeng lah. Te phoeiah maehhang bueih thil,” a ti nah vanbangla a saii pah.
21 Then the Angell of the Lord put forth the ende of the staffe that he had in his hand, and touched the flesh and the vnleauened bread: and there arose vp fire out of the stone, and consumed the flesh and the vnleauened bread: so the Angel of the Lord departed out of his sight.
Te phoeiah BOEIPA puencawn loh a kut dongkah conghol hmuidong te a thueng tih maeh neh vaidamding te a nawn hatah lungpang lamloh hmai thoo tih maeh neh vaidamding te a hlawp. Te phoeiah BOEIPA puencawn khaw a mikhmuh lamloh vik cet.
22 And when Gideon perceiued that it was an Angel of the Lord, Gideon then sayde, Alas, my Lord God: for because I haue seene an Angell of the Lord face to face, I shall die.
Te daengah anih te BOEIPA kah puencawn la Gideon loh a hmuh. Te phoeiah Gideon loh, “Aw, ka Boeipa Yahovah, BOEIPA puencawn te maelhmai neh ka hmuh,” a ti.
23 And the Lord said vnto him, Peace be vnto thee: feare not, thou shalt not die.
Tedae anih te BOEIPA loh, “Na sading saeh, rhih boeh, na duek mahpawh,” a ti nah.
24 Then Gideon made an altar there vnto the Lord, and called it, Iehouah shalom: vnto this day it is in Ophrah, of the father of the Ezrites.
Te dongah Gideon loh BOEIPA ham hmueihtuk pahoi a suem pah. Hmueihtuk te khaw ngaimongnah BOEIPA a sui tih tihnin duela Abiezer Ophrah ah om pueng.
25 And the same night the Lord sayd vnto him, Take thy fathers yong bullocke, and an other bullocke of seuen yeeres olde, and destroy the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut downe the groue that is by it,
Tekah khoyin ah Gideon te BOEIPA loh, “Na pa kah vaito a tal pakhat neh vaitotal kum rhih koep khuen lamtah na pa kah Baal hmueihtuk koengloeng laeh, a taengkah Asherah te khaw top pah.
26 And build an altar vnto the Lord thy God vpon the top of this rocke, in a plaine place: and take the seconde bullocke, and offer a burnt offringe with the woode of the groue, which thou shalt cut downe.
Hekah lunghim som ah he BOEIPA na Pathen ham hmueihtuk suem laeh. Vaito a pabae te maehlaep la khuen lamtah na top sut Asherah thing neh hmueihhlutnah la nawn laeh,” a ti nah.
27 Then Gideon tooke tenne men of his seruants, and did as ye Lord bade him: but because he feared to doe it by day for his fathers housholde, and the men of the citie, he did it by night.
Te dongah Gideon loh a sal hlang parha te a khuen tih BOEIPA loh a taengah a thui pah vanbangla a saii. Tedae khothaih ah a saii ham te a napa cako neh khopuei kah hlang rhoek te a rhih dongah khoyin ah a saii.
28 And when the men of the citie arose early in the morning, beholde, the altar of Baal was broken, and the groue cut downe that was by it, and the seconde bullocke offred vpon the altar that was made.
Mincang ah khopuei kah hlang rhoek te a thoh uh vaengah Baal kah hmueihtuk te a phil tih a taengkah Asherah khaw ana top pa uh, vaito pabae te khaw hmueihtuk a suem tangtae dongah tarha ana nawn pa uh.
29 Therefore they saide one to another, Who hath done this thing? and when they inquired and asked, they saide, Gideon the sonne of Ioash hath done this thing.
Te dongah hlang loh a hui taengah, “Hekah hno aka saii he ulae?” a ti uh tih a cae uh. Tedae a tlap uh vaengah tah, “Hekah hno he Joash capa Gideon long ni a saii,” a ti uh.
30 Then the men of the citie said vnto Ioash, Bring out thy sonne, that hee may dye: for he hath destroyed the altar of Baal, and hath also cut downe the groue that was by it.
Te dongah khopuei hlang rhoek loh Joash taengah, “Na capa te hang khuen, Baal kah hmueihtuk a palet tih a taengkah Asherah a top dongah duek kangna saeh,” a ti uh.
31 And Ioash said vnto all that stood by him, Will ye pleade Baals cause? or will ye saue him? he that will contend for him, let him dye or the morning. If he be God, let him pleade for himselfe against him that hath cast downe his altar.
Tedae a taengkah aka pai rhoek boeih taengah Joash loh, “Nangmih loh Baal ham na kamkaih uh a ya? Anih te nangmih loh na khang uh tang a ya? Anih aka oelh tah mincang a pha neh ki duek bitni. Baal he pathen la a om van oeh atah a hmueihtuk a palet pah vaengah amah loh a huul kanoek mako,” a ti nah.
32 And in that day was Gideon called Ierubbaal, that is, Let Baal pleade for himselfe because he hath broken downe his altar.
Te dongah tekah khohnin lamkah longtah tah, “A hmueihtuk ka palet pah tih Baal amah te khaw ka ho coeng,” a ti nah ngaih la Gideon te Jerubbaal la tloep a khue.
33 Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and they of ye East, were gathered together, aud went and pitched in the valley of Izreel.
Te vaengah Midian boeih neh Amalek khaw khothoeng ca rhoek loh tun kibaeng uh tih a kat phoeiah Jezreel kol ah rhaeh uh.
34 But the Spirit of the Lord came vpon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet, and Abiezer was ioyned with him.
Tedae BOEIPA Mueihla loh Gideon te a thing dongah tuki te a ueng tih a hnukkah Abiezer te a hueh.
35 And he sent messengers thorowout al Manasseh, which also was ioyned with him, and he sent messengers vnto Asher, and to Zebulun and to Naphtali, and they came vp to meete them.
Manasseh ram tom ah puencawn te a tueih tih amah hnuk ah a khue. Te phoeiah puencawn te Asher, Zebulun neh Naphtali la a tueih tih amih doe hamla cet uh.
36 Then Gideon said vnto God, If thou wilt saue Israel by mine hand, as thou hast sayd,
Te phoeiah Gideon loh Pathen te, “Na thui tangtae bangla Israel te ka kut neh aka khang la na om atah,
37 Beholde, I wil put a fleece of wooll in the threshing place: if the dewe come on the fleece onely, and it be drie vpon all the earth, then shall I be sure, that thou wilt saue Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said.
Tumul hlakan te cangtilhmuen ah ka khueh he. Teka hlakan dong bueng ah buemtui om tih diklai boeih te phueihuet la a om atah na thui bangla Israel te ka kut neh na khang ni tila ka ming eh,” a ti nah.
38 And so it was: for he rose vp earely on the morow, and thrust the fleece together, and wringed the dew out of the fleece, and filled a bowle of water.
Te dongah om tangloeng tih a vuen kah a thoh vaengah tah hlakan te a sui. Te vaengah hlakan dongkah buem tui te baeldung a bae la a sui.
39 Againe, Gideon sayde vnto God, Be not angry with me, that I may speake once more: let me prooue once againe, I pray thee, with the fleece: let it now be drie onely vpon the fleece, and let dewe be vpon all the ground.
Tedae Gideon loh Pathen taengah, “Na thintoek loh kai taengah sai boel mai saeh, vai mah ka thui mai saeh lamtah, vai bueng mah ka noem dae eh, hlakan a phueihuet he hlakan amah thim la om vetih diklai pum he buemtui a om atah,” a ti nah bal.
40 And God did so that same night: for it was drie vpon the fleece onely, and there was dewe on all the ground.
Pathen long khaw a rhoi pah dongah tekah khoyin ah tah hlakan bueng te phueihuet la om tih diklai pum te buemtui boeih bo.
