Judges 8
1 Then the men of Ephraim sayde vnto him, Why hast thou serued vs thus that thou calledst vs not, when thou wentest to fight with the Midianites? and they chode with him sharply.
Hiche jouhin Ephraim mipiten Gideon kommah hitin aseijun ahi, “Ipi dinga hitia hi neibollu ham? Midiante satdinga nahung kijot uva chu ipi dinga neina kou louvu ham?” atiuvin; lungnatah in Gideon chu ana kinelpiu vin ahi.
2 To whom he said, What haue I now done in comparison of you? is not the gleaning of grapes of Ephraim better, then the vintage of Abiezer?
Ahin Gideonin adonbutnin, “Nangho toh tekah dinga ken ipi katohdoh beh am? Ephraim min lengpithei alolhah jouva amoh akhen hou chu Abeizer phungbah neocha ho lhosoh ga pumpi sanga tamjo hilouham?
3 God hath deliuered into your handes the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb: and what was I able to do in comparison of you? and when he had thus spoken, then their spirits abated toward him.
Pathen’in Midian gal lamkai teni Oreb le Zeeb chunga galjona napeh to tekah thei dinga ken ipi katohdoh beh am ati. Ephraim mihon Gideon thusei chu ajah phat’un alunghan nao adailha tai.
4 And Gideon came to Iorden to passe ouer, hee, and the three hundreth men that were with him, weary, yet pursuing them.
Gideonin amite jathum toh Jordan vadung ahinpal galkai jun ahi, athachol lheh jeng vangun agalmiteu chu anadel nalai jun ahi.
5 And he said vnto the men of Succoth, Giue, I pray you, morsels of bread vnto the people that follow me (for they be wearie) that I may follow after Zebah, and Zalmunna Kings of Midian.
Succoth alhun phat’un Gideonin akhopi lamkaiho kommah “Ka sepaite ho dingin anneh themkhat beh neipeuvin amahohi athachol lheh tauvin ahi. Keiman Midian lengte Zebah leh Zalmunna kahin del ahi,” ati.
6 And the princes of Succoth sayde, Are the handes of Zebah and Zalmunna nowe in thine hads, that we should giue bread vnto thine army?
Ahinlah Succoth lamkaiten adonbut’un, “Zebah le Zalmunna chu hinman masauvin chujouteng keihon nasepaite vah naovinge” atiuve.
7 Gideon then sayde, Therefore when the Lord hath deliuered Zebah and Zalmunna into mine hand, I will teare your flesh with thornes of the wildernes and with breers.
Hichephat chun Gideonin ajah uvah, “Pakaiyin Zebah le Zalmunna chunga galjona eipehuva kahung kile lamteng leh gammang noiya konna kahin lah lingle molla natahsau kajep teldeh ding nahiuve,” atitan ahi.
8 And he went vp thence to Penuel, and spake vnto them likewise, and the men of Penuel answered him, as the men of Succoth answered.
Hichea kon in Gideon chu Paniel langah achetouvin amaho komma jong chun nehding an athum’in ahileh amahon jong hitobang machun anadonbut un ahi.
9 And he sayd also vnto the men of Penuel, When I come againe in peace, I will breake downe this towre.
Hijeh chun amanjong amaho komma chun, “Gal kahinjoa kahung kileteng hiche inting vumhi kaloi chimding ahi” atipeh tai.
10 Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and their hostes with them, about fifteene thousande, all that were left of all the hostes of them of the East: for there was slaine an hundreth and twentie thousand men, that drew swordes.
Hiche pet hin Zebah leh Zalmunna chu Karkor munnah epia sangsom le sang-nga toh aumkhom lhonnin ahi, hicheng hochu solang gamkaija pangkhom epia sangjakhat le sangsomni ana kithat holah’a amoh ho cheng chu ahiuve.
11 And Gideon went through them that dwelt in Tabernacles on the East side of Nobah and Iogbehah, and smote the hoste: for the hoste was carelesse.
Gideonin Nobah le Jogbebah solam mi kiveiho lampi chu akollin aum kimvellin, chuin Midian sepaite chu kiging manlouvin adelkhum tan ahi.
12 And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled, hee followed after them, and tooke the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and discomfited all the hoste.
Midian lengteni Zebah leh Zalmunna anajamlhon in ahin, Gideonin adelsuh peh in asepaite jousetoh amattha tan ahi.
13 So Gideon the sonne of Ioash returned from battel, the sunne being yet hie,
Hiche jouchun Gideon chu agalsat munna konchun ahungkile in Heres lampi chu ahin jotnin ahi.
14 And tooke a seruant of the me of Succoth, and inquired of him: and he wrote to him the princes of Succoth and the Elders thereof, euen seuentie and seuen men.
Hichea chun Succoth na konna hung golhang khat amannin akhopi sunga thunei vaihom hole lamkai upa somsagi le sagi ho min chu ajihdoh soh tan ahi.
15 And he came vnto the men of Succoth, and sayd, Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, by whome ye vpbrayded me, saying, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in thine hands, that we should giue bread vnto thy weary men?
Gideon chu Succoth lang’ah akile in alamkai hou kommah chun hitin aseitan ahi, “Tuhin Zebah le Zalmunna chu hikommah aumtai, tumasanga nakom uva kahung chun nanghon noisetah in Zebah leh Zalmunna chu hinman masaovin chutengleh nasepaite thachol chu vahnao vinge natiuvin ahi.
16 Then he tooke the Elders of the citie, and thornes of the wildernes and breers, and did teare the men of Succoth with them.
Hijouchun Gideonin akhopi lamkaiho chu gammang noija ahinlah lingle mol chun ajepmin hilchahna aneitan ahi.
17 Also he brake downe the towre of Penuel, and slew the men of the citie.
Aman Peniel inting vumjong chu avochim’in hiche khopi sunga umho jouse chu athat gamtan ahi.
18 Then saide he vnto Zebah and Zalmunna, What maner of men were they, whom ye slew at Tabor? and they answered, As thou art, so were they: euery one was like the children of a King.
Hijouchun Gideonin Zebah leh Zalmunna chu adongin “Tabor munna natha hou chu itobang mi hiuvam” ati. Ama nin adonbutnin “Nang tobang ahiuve, amahon chun lengcha hina limle mel apu cheh uve,” ati lhonin ahi.
19 And he said, They were my brethren, euen my mothers children: as the Lord liueth, if ye had saued their liues, I would not slay you.
Hichun aman jong, “Amaho chu kasopi pasal ho ahiuvin, keima kanu tah chate jeng ahiuve,” ati. Chujouvin Gideonin, “Hingjing Pakai minna kasei ahi, amaho chu anathat hihleu chun tunia hi nangni katha lhonlou ding ahi,” tin asaptho jengin tan ahi.
20 Then he sayde vnto Iether his first borne sonne, Vp, and slay them: but the boy drew not his sword: for he feared, because he was yet yong.
Chuin Gideon kiheiyin achapa atahpenpa Jethar komma chun, “Kipat inlang ani lhonin that tan” ati. Ahin Jether chu chapangcha ahiyeh in akichan achemjam asatdoh ngam tapon ahi.
21 Then Zebah and Zalmunna sayd, Rise thou, and fall vpon vs: for as the man is, so is his strength. And Gideon arose and slew Zebah and Zalmunna, and tooke away the ornamentes, that were on their camels neckes.
Hichun Zebah leh Zalmunna chun Gideon kommah asei lhonnin, “Pasal nahina tah langin, nangma tah in neithat jeng lhonnin,” ati lhonin ahi. Hichun, Gideonin amani chu athat in asangongsang ngong lhon’a thilmantam ho chu akilah tan ahi.
22 Then the men of Israel sayd vnto Gideon, Reigne thou ouer vs, both thou, and thy sonne, and thy sonnes sonne: for thou hast deliuered vs out of the hand of Midian.
Hichun Israel ten Gideon komma chun “Nangle nachate chuleh natute changeijin kachung uvah vaihommin pangtauvin ajeh chu nangin Midiante a kon in neihuhdoh tauvin ahi,” atiuve.
23 And Gideon sayde vnto them, I will not reigne ouer you, neither shall my childe reigne ouer you, but the Lord shall reigne ouer you.
Ahin Gideonin adonbut’in, “Kei kahin kachate ahin nachung uva vaihom pouvinge, Pakai joh in nachunguva vai ahomding ahi,” ati.
24 Againe Gideon sayd vnto them, I would desire a request of you, that you would giue mee euery man the earings of his pray (for they had golden earings because they were Ismaelites)
Ahinlah keiman thilkhat kathum nomme, nanghon mikhat cheh in galmi natha houva konna nahin chomdoh u bilba chu neipeuvin ati. (Galmiho chu Ishmaelte ahiyeh un sana bilba akiba cheh u ahi).
25 And they answered, Wee will giue them. And they spred a garment, and did cast therein euery man the earings of his pray.
Amahon kipah tah in aseijun, “Peuvinge” atiuve. Hitichun amaho khatcheh in, galla ahin chomdoh lah uva kon in sana bilba hochu pon aphaovin aseplha sohkeiyun ahi.
26 And the weight of the golden earings that he required, was a thousande and seuen hundreth shekels of golde, beside collers and iewels, and purple rayment that was on the kings of Midian, and beside the cheynes that were about their camels neckes.
Hiche sana bilba hochu shekel sangkhat le jasagi aphan ahi, hichea panglou galla ahin chomdoh u adangho chu, lengte kijepna thilmantam ho, Midian engthen akivonnu ponsandup hole asangongsao hou ngonga a-opeh u thil mantamho jouse jong ahinalaiye.
27 And Gideon made an Ephod thereof, and put it in Ophrah his citie: and all Israel went a whoring there after it, which was the destruction of Gideon and his house.
Gideonin hiche sana hoa konchun ompho asemmin ama khopi Ophrah munna akoiyin ahi. Ahinla gangtah in Israelten hichu ahin hou un kisuhboh nan aneiyun, hichu Gideon le ainsung mite dingin kipalna in ahung pangtai.
28 Thus was Midian brought lowe before the children of Israel, so that they lift vp their heads no more: and the countrey was in quietnes fourtie yeeres in the dayes of Gideon.
Hitihin Israelten Midiante chu ana sunem’un ahileh hichekah chu Midiante akiledoh jouta pouvin ahi. Hichea konchn Gideon hinlai sunga kum somli sungin gamsung’ah chamna alengin ahi.
29 Then Ierubbaal the sonne of Ioash went, and dwelt in his owne house.
Hiche jouchun Joash chapa Gideon chu ainlanga akiletan ahi.
30 And Gideon had seuentie sonnes begotten of his body: for he had many wiues.
Aman chapa som sagi aneiyin ahi, ajeh chu amah in ji tamtah aneijeh ahi.
31 And his concubine that was in Shechem, bare him a sonne also, whose name he called Abimelech.
Aman Shechem munna thaikem khat ananeijin, amanu chun chapa khat ahinpeh in amin Abimelech ahi.
32 So Gideon the sonne of Ioash dyed in a good age, and was buried in the sepulchre of Ioash his father in Ophrah, of the father of ye Ezrites.
Gideon athichun ateh lheh jengtan ahi, amachu Abiezer phungmite gamsunga um Ophrah munnah apa Joash lhankhuh a anavui tauvin ahi.
33 But when Gideon was dead, the children of Israel turned away and went a whoring after Baalim, and made Baal-berith their God.
Gideon thijou jouvin Israelte chu amahole amaho akisuboh un Baal chu a pathen’in akisemmun Baal doilim semthuho chu anahouvun ahi.
34 And the children of Israel remembred not the Lord their God, which had deliuered the out of the hands of all their enemies on euery side.
Amahon avelluva cheng agalmite jouseuva konna ahin huhdoh uva a Pakai a Pathennu chu asumil tauvin ahi.
35 Neither shewed they mercy on the house of Ierubbaal, or Gideon, according to al the goodnesse which he had shewed vnto Israel.
Amahon Israel mite dinga thilpha tamtah ana tongdoh a Jerub-baal kitipa Gideon insung mite jengjong janaleh gelkhohna imacha ana neitapouvin ahi.
