Judges 9
1 Then Abimelech the sonne of Ierubbaal went to Shechem vnto his mothers brethren, and communed with them, and with all the familie, and house of his mothers father, saying,
Nikhat hi Gideon chapa Abimelech chu Shechem ache in, apupa hichu anu sopipa chu gavil dingin achen ahi. Aman amahole anu insungmi adangho jah a chun hitin aseije,
2 Say, I pray you, in the audience of all the men of Shechem, Whether is better for you, that all the sonnes of Ierubbaal, which are seuentie persons, reigne ouer you, either that one reigne ouer you? Remember also, that I am your bone, and your flesh.
“Shechem khomite lah a lamkai ho kommah Gideon chate som sagi hon nachunguva vai ahomding nadeijuvam ahilouleh mikhat’in vai ahomding nadei joh uvam tin dongun anatin ahi. Chuleh keimahi nathisan uleh naphe navou u kahi ti geldoh un” atin ahi.
3 Then his mothers brethren spake of him in the audience of all the men of Shechem, all these wordes: and their hearts were moued to follow Abimelech: for sayd they, He is our brother.
Hitichun Abimelech puteh on ama thakhellin Shechem miteho chu anadongun ahi. Hiche thuhi Shechem mite hon giltah a ageljouvun Abimelech chu akinaipiu ahiyeh in achunguva vaihom dingin alheng tauvin ahi.
4 And they gaue him seuentie pieces of siluer out of the house of Baal-berith, wherewith Abimelech hired vayne and light fellowes which followed him.
Hijeh chun amahon Baal-berith houin na konin dangka somsagi anapeuvin, hichu mangcha in aman miduhdahlou miphabep anungjui dingin akisemmin ahi.
5 And he went vnto his fathers house at Ophrah, and slew his brethren, the sonnes of Ierubbaal, about seuentie persons vpon one stone: yet Iotham the yongest sonne of Ierubbaal was left: for he hid himselfe.
Chujouvin Abimelech chu Ophrah khopia apa insunga ache in, songkhat mangchan asopi te Gideon chapa somsagi chu agathat gamtan ahi. Ahin u-cha holah a aneopen Jotham chu jamdoh in ana kiseldoh tan ahi.
6 And all the men of Shechem gathered together with all the house of Millo, and came and made Abimelech King in the playne, where the stone was erected in Shechem.
Hiche jouchun Shechem leh Beth-millo khomite lah a lamkai hochu Shechem khompi kom gangpi phungnoijah akikhommun Abimelech chu leng achansah taove.
7 And when they told it to Iotham, he went and stoode in the top of mount Gerizim, and lift vp his voyce, and cryed, and sayd vnto them, Hearken vnto mee, you men of Shechem, that God may hearken vnto you.
Jotham’in hichehi ajahdoh phatnin Gerezim molchung vummah akaldoh in kho ahin samtan ahi, “Shechem khocheng miteho kathuseihi ngaijuvin! Pathenin nathuseiju angaiding nadeijuleh kathuseihi neingai peh un!
8 The trees went foorth to anoynt a King ouer them, and sayde vnto the oliue tree, Reigne thou ouer vs.
Phat khatnin thingphung hon alengpau ding alheng gouvin amasapen in Olive thingphung kommah aseijun, kalengpao dingin neipanpeh un atiuve!
9 But the oliue tree said vnto them, Should I leaue my fatnes, wherewith by me they honour God and man, and go to aduance me aboue ye trees?
Ahinlah Olive thingphung anompon, hitin aseijin ahi, keiman Olive thao kaputdoh sah a Pathen le mihemte kakipasahji hi kangah’a, iti thingphung dangho chunga vai kagahom dingham? ati.
10 Then the trees sayde to the fig tree, Come thou, and be King ouer vs.
Chujouvin theichang phung komma agaseijun nangma kalengpau vin hung pang tan agatiuve.
11 But the fig tree answered them, Should I forsake my sweetenesse, and my good fruite, and goe to aduance me aboue the trees?
Ahinlah theichang phung chu ana nompon hitin ahinseije, ‘Keiman theichang lhumkei kagadohsah hi kadalhah a hiche thingphung holah a hi iti kaga vaihom dingham?’ ati.
12 Then sayd the trees vnto the Vine, Come thou, and be king ouer vs.
Hiche jouchun lengpithei phung komma agaseijun kalengpau vin hung pangtan agatiuve,
13 But the Vine sayde vnto them, Should I leaue my wine, whereby I cheare God and man, and goe to aduance me aboue the trees?
Ahinlah lengpithei phung chu ananompon hitihin ahin seije, ‘Keima Pathen leh mihemte kakipasahna hiche tuilhum kaput dohsah hi kangah’a iti hiche thingphungho chunga hi kaga vaihom dingham anatin ahi.
14 Then said all the trees vnto the bramble, Come thou, and reigne ouer vs.
Ajona in thingphung jouse chu acheuvin lingphung kommah hunginlang kalengpau vin hung pangtan agatiuve.
15 And the bramble said vnto the trees, If ye will in deede anoynt me King ouer you, come, and put your trust vnder my shadowe: and if not, the fire shall come out of the bramble, and consume the Cedars of Lebanon.
Hiche lingphung chun thingho kommah hitin ahin seije, “Nanghon keimahi nalenguva neitun nom uleh, hungun lang kalimnoi jahin hung kisel tauvin, achutilouleh keija kon in mei hungkongdoh intin Lebanon na um Cedar thingphung jouse akahvam ding ahi,” ati.
16 Now therefore, if ye doe truely and vncorruptly to make Abimelech King, and if ye haue delt well with Ierubbaal and with his house, and haue done vnto him according to the deseruing of his handes,
Jothamin aseiben, “Tun nanghon Abimelech chu nalengpau dinga natun uhi lungthengtah leh bolding lomtah a nabollu hinam chuleh Gideon leh achilhahte chunga hi them nachandiu hinam? Kigellun. Aman atohdoh ho chunga ahiding bangtah a janale hetpehna achanding doltah nachan sah u hinam?
17 (For my father fought for you, and aduentured his life, and deliuered you out of the handes of Midian.
Ajeh chu aman ahinkho phal ngam’a nangho Midiante a konna nahuhdoh u ahi.
18 And yee are risen vp against my fathers house this day, and haue slayne his children, about seuentie persons vpon one stone, and haue made Abimelech the sonne of his mayde seruant, King ouer the men of Shechem, because hee is your brother)
Ahinlah tunin nanghon kapaleh achilhah ho chungah khan gitlouna nasatah nabollun achate somsagi jen chu songkhat mangchan nathat tauvin ahi. Hitichun asoh numeinu chapa Abimelech chu nasopiu ahiyeh in nalengpau vin natung tauvin ahi.
19 If ye then haue delt truely and purely with Ierubbaal, and with his house this day, then reioyce with you.
Tunia na natoh uhi Gideon chungle achilhah ho chunga lungtheng tah le jana neitah a natoh u ahileh Abimelech chungah nanghon kipana muvin chuleh amanjong nangho chungah kipana muhen.
20 But if not, let a fire come out from Abimelech, and consume the men of Shechem and the house of Millo: also let a fire come foorth from the men of Shechem, and from the house of Millo, and consume Abimelech.
Amavang nanghon lungtheng tah a nabollu ahilouleh vang Abimelech a kon in meihung kongdoh henlang Shechem leh Beth-millo a chengho lah a lamkaiho jouse vallhum hen, chuleh Shechem leh Beth-millo’a chenghoa kon in meihung koudoh henlang Abimelech vallhum hen.” Tin anasam in ahi.
21 And Iotham ran away, and fled, and went to Beer, and dwelt there for feare of Abimelech his brother.
Hiche jouchun Jotham ajamdoh in, asopipa Abimelech akichat jeh in Beer ah agachengtai.
22 So Abimelech reigned three yeere ouer Israel.
Abimelech hin Israelte chung’a kum thum lhingset vai anapo in ahi.
23 But God sent an euil spirit betweene Abimelech, and the men of Shechem: and the men of Shechem brake their promise to Abimelech,
Pathen’in lhagao khat ahinsollin Abimelech leh Shechem khomite lamkai ho kikah a kiboina asodoh sah tan, hichun amaho akiphin taove.
24 That the crueltie toward the seuentie sonnes of Ierubbaal and their blood might come and be laide vpon Abimelech their brother, which had slayne them, and vpon the men of Shechem, which had ayded him to kill his brethren.
Abimelech chu Gideon chapa sagi athajeh chuleh Shechem ma chenghon Abimelech in asopiho athachu ana tosot jeh un Pathen’in amaho chu gotna apetan ahi.
25 So the men of Shechem set men in wayte for him in the toppes of the mountaines: who robbed all that passed that way by them: and it was tolde Abimelech.
Hichun Shechem khomiten Abimelech chu molchunga achaanglhi uvin hilanga cheho jouse chu anachom’un ahi. Ahin hitobang atohgot uchu mikhat in Abimelech henga agaseipeh tan ahi.
26 Then Gaal the sonne of Ebed came with his brethren, and they went to Shechem: and the men of Shechem put their confidence in him.
Nikhat hi Ebed chapa Gaal kitipa chu Shechem ma asopi hotoh achaolut uvin ahileh, akhomite lamkaihon ama chu atahsan jotauvin ahi.
27 Therefore they went out into the field, and gathered in their grapes and troade them, and made merie, and went into the house of their gods, and did eate and drinke, and cursed Abimelech.
Shechem’a kumlhun nehlechah kikhol khom phatna kimang golvah chu akho munna chengten semthu pathen ahounao houin na chun amangun ahi. Lengpithei twi chu nengtah alonjing pettah chun mijousen Abimelech chu asamse asamse jengtauvin ahi.
28 Then Gaal the sonne of Ebed sayde, Who is Abimelech? and who is Shechem, that wee should serue him? Is he not the sonne of Ierubbaal? and Zebul is his officer? Serue rather the men of Hamor the father of Shechem: for why should we serue him?
“Abimelech hi koi hija ham?” tin Gaal chun asamtan ahi. “Amachu Shechem cha tahbeh ahipoi” ahileh ama lhacha kin ibola itoh diuham? Amachu Gideon chabou ahin chuleh Zebul hi ama noidoupa maimai ahibouve, Shechem phutdohpa Hamor chapa tahbeh ho kinbou iboldiu ahi, ipi dinga Abimelech lhacha na itoh diuham?
29 Now would God this people were vnder mine hand: then would I put away Abimelech. And he said to Abimelech, Increase thine army, and come out.
Keimahi hilai munna vaipo hileng Abimelech hi kasuhmang ding ahi. Keiman ama kommah epia phabep hinkipuijin chuleh hunginlang kisatto hite katiding ahi,” tin Gaal in ana samtan ahi.
30 And when Zebul the ruler of the citie heard the wordes of Gaal the sonne of Ebed, his wrath was kindled.
Ahin Zebul hiche khopia lamkaipa chun Gaal thusei chu ajahdoh phatnin alunghang lhehjengin ahi.
31 Therefore he sent messengers vnto Abimelech priuily, saying, Beholde, Gaal the sonne of Ebed and his brethren be come to Shechem, and beholde, they fortifie the citie against thee.
Hichun aman Arumah-a um Abimelech komma chun thupole ho khat asollin hitihin aseije, “Ebed chapa Gaal leh asopite chu Shechem’a cheng dingin ahungin, tun amahon khopi mitehi nangma dou dingin atildoh tan ahi.
32 Now therefore arise by night, thou and the people that is with thee, and lye in wayte in the fielde.
Nasepaite toh jannin hungin lang loujao dunga khun hung kisellin lang,
33 And rise early in the morning as soone as the sunne is vp, and assault the citie: and when he and the people that is with him, shall come out against thee, doe to him what thou canst.
Jingkah kho ahungvah vahleh khopihi hinbulu jengin, Gaal leh aloiho nangma dou dia kisaho sese chunga chu nangman nadei deija nabolthei ahitai” ati.
34 So Abimelech rose vp, and all the people that were with him by night: and they lay in wayte against Shechem in foure bandes.
Hijeh chun Abimelech leh amite jouse jannin acheuvin loili in akihom khen un Shechem chu aumtauvin ahi.
35 Then Gaal the sonne of Ebed went out and stood in the entring of the gate of the citie: and Abimelech rose vp, and the folke that were with him, from lying in waite.
Abimelech le asepaite chu akiselnaova konna ahung potdoh phat chun Gaal chu khopi kelkot achun ana dingin ahi.
36 And when Gaal sawe the people, he said to Zebul, Beholde, there come people downe from the tops of the mountaines: and Zebul said vnto him, The shadowe of the mountaines seeme men vnto thee.
Gaal chun amaho chu amu phatnin Zebul kommah ahin seije, “Ven molvumma konin mihonpi phabep ahungsuh uve” ati. Zebul chun ahin donbutnin “Hichu thinglhanga thil legao ho pouchu mihem limma namu khattou hinte” ati.
37 And Gaal spake againe, and said, See, there come folke downe by the middle of the land, and another bande commeth by the way of the plaine of Meonenim.
Ahinlah Gaal chun aseikit’in, “Ahipoi molla konkhun mipi phabep ahungsuh in ahi” atikit in ahi, chuleh loi chomkhatjong doi kisanna gangpi phung galkaina lampia kon jongkhun ahung suh uve,” atin ahi.
38 Then sayd Zebul vnto him, Where is now thy mouth, that said, Who is Abimelech, that we should serue him? Is not this the people that thou hast despised? Go out now, I pray thee, and fight with them.
Hichun Zebul chun ama lam ahin nga’in ahin donbutnin ahi. “Tuahi nakama nanop nop naseichu hoilang geija hitam? Abimelech koiham, eihon ama kin ipi dinga ibol ding uham nati hilouham? Nangin nahouset hochu tun khopi pamma aum uve! Potdoh inlang gakisatpi tan,” atipeh tan ahi.
39 And Gaal went out before the men of Shechem, and fought with Abimelech.
Hijeh chun Gaal in Shechem khomite lamkai hochu Abimelech te kisat dingin apuitan ahi.
40 But Abimelech pursued him, and he fledde before him, and many were ouerthrowen and wounded, euen vnto the entring of the gate.
Ahinlah Abimelech chun Gaal ahindellin, chuleh Shechem mite tamtah chu akisukha un, chule khopi kelkot langa hunglejam hochu alhukaam tauvin ahi.
41 And Abimelech dwelt at Arumah: and Zebul thrust out Gaal and his brethren that they should not dwell in Shechem.
Abimelech chu Arumah langah akiletan, Zebul chun Gaal leh asopi hochu anodohtan ahi.
42 And on the morowe, the people went out into the fielde: which was tolde Abimelech.
Ajing chun Shechem mipite chu galsat dingin ahung kondoh kittauvin ahi. Abimelech chun hichu ajahdoh phatnin,
43 And he tooke the people, and deuided them into three bandes, and layde wayte in the fieldes, and looked, and beholde, the people were come out of the citie, and he rose vp against them, and smote them.
Amite chu loithum’in ahom khennin loujaovah amaho chu achaanglhi tauvin ahi. Abimelech in Shechem mipi teho chu akhopi uva konna ahung kondoh amudoh phat’in, amaho jong akisel naova kon in ahung potdoh'un akisatpi tauvin ahi.
44 And Abimelech, and the bandes that were with him, russhed forwarde, and stoode in the entring of the gate of the citie: and the two other bandes ran vpon all the people that were in the fielde and slewe them.
Abimelech aloihon khopi kelkotchu anokhum um Shechem mite chu ahunglelut kit theilou nadiuvin akhahtan tauvin ahi. Langkhat ah Abimelech mite loini kihomkhen chun phaileijah amahochu anasat chap jengun ahi.
45 And when Abimelech had fought against the citie all that day, he tooke the citie, and slewe the people that was therein, and destroyed the citie and sowed salt in it.
Nilhum keijin akisatnun ajona in Abimelech chun khopi chu alatan ahi. Aman mipiho chu athatgammin khopi chu asuchimmin toll ajang pumpichu chi asokhumtan ahi.
46 And when all the men of the towre of Shechem heard it, they entred into an holde of the house of the god Berith.
Khosung chengho lah a lamkaiho Shechem inting vumma chengho chun thilsoh hochu ajahphat un ajam’un Baal doi houna in na chun alut un akisel tauvin ahi.
47 And it was tolde Abimelech, that all the men of the towre of Shechem were gathered together.
Mikhatnin Shechem khomi lamkai hochu asemthu pathen houna insunga akiselluve ti Abimelech chu agaseipeh phat nin,
48 And Abimelech gate him vp to mounte Zalmon, hee and all the people that were with him: and Abimelech tooke axes with him, and cut downe boughes of trees, and tooke them, and bare them on his shoulder, and sayde vnto the folke that were with him, What ye haue seene me doe, make haste, and doe like me.
Asepaite hochu Zalmon mol langa apuitou tan ahi, aman heicha khat alan thingboh hochu atulhan alengkouva akiput in ahi. Chuin aman amite jah ah “Gangtah hin keibol tobang hin bollun,” ati.
49 Then all the people also cut downe euery man his bough, and followed Abimelech, and put them to the holde, and set the holde on fire with them: so all the men of the towre of Shechem dyed also, about a thousand men and women.
Hitichun abonchaovin thingbah chu akisatnun Abimelech bol tobang chun abolsoh tauvin ahi. Amahon thingbah hochu a houin bang chunga chun asekhommun meiyin ahal khum tauvin ahi. Hichun Shechem inting vumma um mipi jouse chu athigamtan ahi. Amaho chu numei pasal agommin mi sangkhat ahiuve.
50 Then went Abimelech to Tebez, and besieged Tebez, and tooke it.
Hiche banchun Abimelech in Thebez khopi chu anokhum in alataan ahi.
51 But there was a strong towre within the citie, and thither fledde all the men and women, and all the chiefe of the citie, and shut it to them, and went vp to the toppe of the towre.
Ahinlah khopi sunga chun intingvum lhoutah khat aummin, khopi sunga mipite jouse chu numei pasal abonchaovin hiche munna chun ajamlut tauvin ahi. Amahole amaho kot akikam khummun intingvum chung vumma akaldoh tauvin ahi.
52 And Abimelech came vnto the towre and fought against it, and went hard vnto the doore of the towre to set it on fire.
Abimelech in amaho chu ajuilut’in intingvumma chu nokhum agon ahi. Ahinlah aman alutnao munchu gahhal ding agot laitah in,
53 But a certaine woman cast a piece of a milstone vpon Abimelechs head, and brake his braine pan.
Numei khatnin nching danna konna sumhei songkhat ahin seplhan ahileh Abimelech luchanga chun achun aluchu asepkeh tan ahi.
54 Then Abimelech called hastily his page that bare his harneis, and sayde vnto him, Drawe thy sworde and slay me, that men say not of me, A woman slewe him. And his page thrust him thorowe, and he dyed.
Aman agalmanchah poa gollhangpa komma chun gangtah in “Nachemjam satdoh loijinlang neihin thatnin, achuti louleh min numei khatnin Abimelech athattai tiget inte,” ahi. Hichun gollhangpa chun Abimelech chu ana sunlihtai.
55 And when the men of Israel sawe that Abimelech was dead, they departed euery man vnto his owne place.
Abimelech miten amachu athitai ti amudoh phat’un akikhen tellun aincheh uvah akile tauvin ahi.
56 Thus God rendred the wickednes of Abimelech, which he did vnto his father, in slaying his seuentie brethren.
Hitihin Abimelech in apadouna a asopite somsagi ana tha jeh chun Pathen’in achunga phu ana latan ahi.
57 Also all the wickednes of the men of Shechem did God bring vpon their heads. So vpon them came the curse of Iotham the sonne of Ierubbaal.
Shechem mipite jongchu thilse boljeh un Pathen’in achung'uva phu alatan ahi. Hitichun Gideon chapa Jotham min agaosapna chu aguilhungtan ahi.
