Judges 7
1 Then Ierubbaal (who is Gideon) rose vp early, and all the people that were with him, and pitched beside the well of Harod, so that the hoste of the Midianites was on the Northside of them in the valley by the hill of Moreh.
Te dongah Jerubbaal Gideon neh a taengkah pilnam boeih te a thoh puei tih Hardo sih ah rhaeh uh. Te vaengah Midian rhaehhmuen tah tuikol kah Moreh som tlangpuei ah om van.
2 And the Lord said vnto Gideon, The people that are with thee, are too many for me to giue the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel make their vaunt against me, and say, Mine hand hath saued mee.
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Gideon te, “Midian te amih kut ah kan tloeng ham dongah na taengkah pilnam te yet aih. ‘Kamah kut loh kamah he n'khang,’ a ti neh Israel loh kai taengah kohang ve.
3 Now therefore proclaime in the audience of the people, and say, Who so is timerous or fearefull, let him returne, and depart earely from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people which were at mount Gilead, two and twentie thousand: so ten thousand remayned.
Te dongah pilnam kah a hna ah pang thil lamtah, ‘U khaw aka rhih tih aka thuen tah bal mai saeh lamtah Gilead tlang lamloh nong saeh,’ ti nah,” a ti nah. Te vaengah pilnam khui lamloh hlang thawng kul thawng hnih te bal tih thawng rha la cul uh.
4 And the Lord said vnto Gideon, The people are yet too many: bring them downe vnto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and of whome I say vnto thee, This man shall goe with thee, the same shall go with thee: and of whomsoeuer I say vnto thee, This man shall not goe with thee, the same shall not go.
Tedae Gideon te BOEIPA loh, “Pilnam he yet aih pueng. Amih te tui taengla suntlak puei lamtah nang hamla pahoi ka nuemnai bitni. Te vaengah nang taengah, ‘Anih he namah taengah pongpa saeh,’ ka ti hlang te tah namah taengah pongpa saeh. Tedae, ‘Anih te namah taengah pongpa boel saeh,’ tila nang taengah ka thui hlang boeih te tah pongpa van boel saeh,” a ti nah.
5 So he brought downe the people vnto the water. And the Lord sayd vnto Gideon, As many as lap the water with their tongues, as a dog lappeth, them put by themselues, and euery one that shall bow downe his knees to drinke, put apart.
Te dongah pilnam te tui taengla a suntlak puei. Te phoeiah Gideon te BOEIPA loh, “Ui kah a laeh bangla tui te a lai neh aka laek boeih neh tui ok ham a khuklu dongah aka cungkueng hlang boeih te amah neh amah hloep khueh,” a ti nah.
6 And the nomber of them that lapped by putting their handes to their mouthes, were three hundreth men: but all the remnant of the people kneeled downe vpon their knees to drinke water.
Te vaengah a ka neh a kut aka laek he hlangmi la hlang ya thum lo tih, pilnam hlangrhuel boeih long tah tui ok hamla a khuklu dongah cungkueng uh.
7 Then the Lord sayde vnto Gideon, By these three hundreth men that lapped, will I saue you, and deliuer the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the other people go euery man vnto his place.
Te dongah Gideon te BOEIPA loh, “Tui aka laek hlang ya thum neh nang te kan khang vetih Midian te nang kut ah kan paek bitni. A tloe pilnam boeih te tah amah hmuen la rhip cet uh mai saeh,” a ti nah.
8 So the people tooke vitailes with them, and their trumpets: and he sent all the rest of Israel, euery man vnto his tent, and reteined the three hundreth men: and the hoste of Midian was beneath him in a valley.
Te dongah pilnam loh a kut dongah lampu neh tuki te a khuen uh. Israel hlang boeih te a dap la rhip a tueih coeng dae hlang ya thum te tah a rhuem pueng. Te vaengah Midian rhaehhmuen he tuikol kungdak kah amah taengah om coeng.
9 And the same night the Lord sayde vnto him, Arise, get thee downe vnto the hoste: for I haue deliuered it into thine hand.
Tekah khoyin ah Gideon te BOEIPA loh, “Thoo, anih te na kut dongah kam paek coeng dongah rhaehhmuen ke suntlak thil laeh.
10 But if thou feare to go downe, then go thou, and Phurah thy seruant downe to the hoste,
Tedae suntlak ham na rhih atah na ca Purah te rhaehhmuen la namah loh suntlak puei.
11 And thou shalt hearken what they say, and so shall thine handes be strong to go downe vnto the hoste. Then went he downe and Phurah his seruant vnto the outside of the souldiers that were in the hoste.
A thui uh te na yaak tih, na kut han talong uh phoei daengah ni rhaehhmuen khaw na suntlak thil eh,” a ti nah. Te daengah a ca Purah khaw rhaehhmuen kaepvai kah aka bop kah taphung la a suntlak puei.
12 And the Midianites, and the Amalekites and all they of the East, lay in the valley like grashoppers in multitude, and their camels were without nomber, as the sande which is by the sea side for multitude.
Te vaengah Midian neh Amalek khaw, khothoeng ca rhoek boeih khaw kaisih aka hol uh bangla kol ah yalh uh tih amih kah kalauk mah tuipuei tuikaeng kah laivin bangla tae lek pawt la hmoeng.
13 And when Gideon was come, beholde, a man tolde a dreame vnto his neighbour, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dreame, and lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled from aboue into the hoste of Midian, and came vnto a tent, and smote it that it fell, and ouerturned it, that the tent fell downe.
Gideon halo vaengah hlang pakhat loh a hui taengah a mang tarha ana doek tih, “Mang ka man hatah cangtun vaidam a hluem hluem at loh Midian rhaehhmuen la paluet tih dap khuila kun. Dap te a toh tih a cungku phoeiah a so la a palet thil dongah dap cungku he,” a ti nah.
14 And his fellow answered, and sayde, This is nothing els saue the sworde of Gideon the sonne of Ioash a man of Israel: for into his hande hath God deliuered Midian and all the hoste.
A hui long khaw a doo tih, “A hong moenih, Israel tongpa, Joash capa Gideon kah cunghang dae la te, Midian neh rhaehhmuen boeih he Pathen loh anih kut dongah a paek coeng,” a ti nah.
15 When Gideon heard the dreame tolde, and the interpretation of the same, he worshipped, and returned vnto the hoste of Israel, and said, Vp: for the Lord hath deliuered into your hande the hoste of Midian.
Mang kawng a saep te Gideon loh a yaak vaengah tho a thueng. Te phoeiah Israel rhaehhmuen la mael tih, “Midian rhaehhmuen he BOEIPA loh na kut ah m'paek coeng dongah thoo uh laeh,” a ti nah.
16 And hee deuided the three hundreth men into three bandes, and gaue euery man a trumpet in his hande with emptie pitchers, and lampes within the pitchers.
Hlang ya thum te a lu pathum a boel tih amih boeih long te a kut dongah tuki, amrhaeng hoeng neh amrhaeng khui ah hmaithoi te rhip a paek.
17 And he sayd vnto them, Looke on me, and do likewise, when I come to the side of the hoste: euen as I do, so do you.
Te phoeiah amih te, “Kai nan hmuh uh vanbangla saii uh van. Tahae ah rhaehhmuen taphung la ka cet pawn ni, te dongah ka saii bangla saii uh.
18 When I blowe with a trumpet and all that are with me, blowe ye with trumpets also on euery side of the hoste, and say, For the Lord, and for Gideon.
Kai loh tuki te ka ueng van neh ka taengkah rhoek boeih long khaw tuki te ueng uh. Nangmih long khaw rhaehhmuen taengvai boeih ah, ‘BOEIPA ham neh Gideon ham,’ ti uh van,” a ti nah.
19 So Gideon and the hundreth men that were with him, came vnto the outside of the hoste, in the beginning of the middle watche, and they raised vp the watchmen, and they blew with their trumpets, and brake the pitchers that were in their handes.
Gideon loh amah taengkah hlang yakhat te pukthung bangli vaengah rhaehhmuen taphung la a pawk puei. Kho aka tawt rhoek te a thoh van neh tuki te a ueng uh tih a kut dongkah amrhaeng te a dae uh.
20 And the three companies blew with trumpets and brake the pitchers, and helde the lampes in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right. handes to blowe withall: and they cryed, The sword of the Lord and of Gideon.
Te phoeiah rhoihui pathum loh tuki te a ueng uh tih amrhaeng te a dae uh. Te phoeiah hmaithoi te a banvoei kut neh, ueng hamla tuki te a bantang kut ah a thueng uh tih, “BOEIPA ham neh Gideon ham cunghang he,” tila pang uh.
21 And they stoode, euery man in his place round about the hoste: and all the hoste ranne, and cryed, and fled.
Rhaehhmuen te a kaepvai kah a kungdak ah boeih a pai thil uh vaengah rhaehhmuen kah te khaw boeih yong. Te vaengah a rhaelrham a rhaelrham uh doeah yuhui uh.
22 And the three hundreth blewe with trumpets, and the Lord set euery mans sworde vpon his neighbour, and vpon all the hoste: so the hoste fled to Beth-hashittah in Zererah, and to the border of Abel-meholah, vnto Tabbath.
Tuki ya thum te a ueng uh van neh khat rhip kah cunghang te BOEIPA loh a hui taeng neh rhaehhuen tom boeih taengla a cuk sak dongah lambong loh Bethshitah, Zererah ben Tabath kaepkah Abelmeholah khorhi duela rhaelrham uh.
23 Then the men of Israel being gathered together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, pursued after the Midianites.
Te vaengah Israel hlang te Naphtali lamkah khaw, Asher lamkah khaw, Manasseh tom lamkah khaw a khue tih Midian hnuk te a hloem uh.
24 And Gideon sent messengers vnto all mount Ephraim, saying, Come downe against the Midianites, and take before them the waters vnto Beth-barah, and Iorden. Then all the men of Ephraim gathered together and tooke the waters vnto Beth-barah, and Iorden.
Puencawn rhoek te khaw Gideon loh Ephraim tlang tom ah a tueih tih, “Midian khoep mah ham ha suntla uh lamtah amih te Bethbarah tui neh Jordan duela buem uh laeh,” a ti nah. Te dongah Ephraim hlang te boeih a doek tih Bethbarah tui neh Jordan duela a buem uh.
25 And they tooke two princes of the Midianites, Oreb and Zeeb, and slew Oreb vpon the rocke Oreb, and slewe Zeeb at the winepresse of Zeeb, and pursued the Midianites, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon beyonde Iorden.
Te vaengah Midian mangpa rhoi Oreb neh Zeeb te a tuuk uh tih, Oreb te Oreb lungpang ah a ngawn uh. Zeeb te tah Zeeb mah la a ngawn uh. Te phoeiah Midian te a hloem uh tih, Oreb neh Zeeb lu te Jordan rhalvangan kah Gideon taengla a khuen uh.
