< Judges 6 >

1 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years.
Isarelnaw ni BAWIPA mithmu vah hno kahawihoehe a sak awh, hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni Midian kut dawk kum 7 touh san a toung sak.
2 And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel: and because of the Midianites the children of Israel made them the dens which are in the mountains, and caves, and strong holds.
Midiannaw ni Isarelnaw teh a rektap dawkvah, Isarelnaw ni kâhro nahanlah mon dawk talai kâkhu ka cak poung lah a tai awh.
3 And so it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east, even they came up against them;
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Isarelnaw ni law a sak awh nah tangkuem koe Midiannaw, Amaleknaw, hoi Kanîtholae taminaw ni pou a tho sin awh teh, pou a tuk awh.
4 And they encamped against them, and destroyed the increase of the earth, till you come to Gaza, and left no sustenance for Israel, neither sheep, nor ox, nor ass.
Isarel ram thungvah tungpup rim a sak awh teh, talai dawk e ka paw e caticamu pueng Gaza totouh a raphoe pouh awh. Isarelnaw ni kâkawknae banghai tat pout laipalah, tu, maito, la totouh pek pouh awh hoeh.
5 For they came up with their cattle and their tents, and they came as grasshoppers for multitude; for both they and their camels were without number: and they entered into the land to destroy it.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimouh ni saring hoi rim khuehoi samtong yit touh ka phat lah a tho awh. Amamouh hoi kalauknaw teh touk thai lah awm hoeh. Isarel ram raphoe hanelah a tho awh.
6 And Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites; and the children of Israel cried to the LORD.
Midian kecu dawk Isarel teh puenghoi roedeng a khang awh dawkvah, BAWIPA a kaw awh.
7 And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried to the LORD because of the Midianites,
Midiannaw kecu dawk Isarel ni BAWIPA a kaw toteh,
8 That the LORD sent a prophet to the children of Israel, which said to them, Thus says the LORD God of Israel, I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you forth out of the house of bondage;
Isarelnaw koe BAWIPA ni profet buet touh a tha pouh.
9 And I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all that oppressed you, and drove them out from before you, and gave you their land;
Na ka rektap e Izip kut dawk hoi thoseh, na ka pacekpahleknaw kut dawk hoi thoseh, nangmanaw na taran ahawi awh teh, ahnimanaw hah nangmouh hmalah ka pâlei vaiteh, a ram roup na poe awh han.
10 And I said to you, I am the LORD your God; fear not the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell: but you have not obeyed my voice.
Kai teh nangmae BAWIPA Cathut doeh. Nangmouh na onae dawk kaawm e Amonnaw e cathutnaw hah taket awh hanh, ka ti eiteh, ka lawk hah na ngai awh hoeh atipouh.
11 And there came an angel of the LORD, and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained to Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the wine press, to hide it from the Midianites.
Hahoi BAWIPA e kalvantami a tho pouh teh, Ophrah kho, Abiezrit capa Joash e kathen kung rahim vah a tahung. Joash e capa Gideon teh amae cang hah Midiannaw ni a pâphawng hoeh nahanelah, misur katinnae teng vah a katin pouh.
12 And the angel of the LORD appeared to him, and said to him, The LORD is with you, you mighty man of valor.
BAWIPA e kalvantami ni ahni koe a kamphawng pouh teh, athakaawme ransa, BAWIPA teh nang koe ao atipouh navah,
13 And Gideon said to him, Oh my Lord, if the LORD be with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt? but now the LORD has forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.
Oe BAWIPA Cathut teh maimouh koe awm pawiteh, bangkongmaw hete hnonaw teh maimouh koe a pha sak vaw. Mintoenaw teh BAWIPA ni Izip ram hoi a tâco sak awh nahoehmaw, kai koe ouk a dei awh e kângairuhnonaw te nâne. Hatei, atuteh BAWIPA ni na pahnawt teh, Midian kut dawk na poe toe khe telah a ti.
14 And the LORD looked on him, and said, Go in this your might, and you shall save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent you?
Hahoi Bawipa ni a kamlang sin teh, atu na tawn e thaonae kâuep hoi cet haw, Midian kut dawk hoi Isarel teh rasat haw, Kai ni na patoun e nahoehmaw atipouh.
15 And he said to him, Oh my Lord, with which shall I save Israel? behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house.
Hahoi teh Gideon ni, BAWIPA kaimouh ni Isarelnaw bangtelah hoi maw ka rasa thai awh han vaw. Ka miphun teh Manasseh thung dawk hoe ka mathoe e, kama hai thoseh ka hmaunawngha thung dawk kathoungpounge lah ka o.
16 And the LORD said to him, Surely I will be with you, and you shall smite the Midianites as one man.
Hahoi BAWIPA ni a pato teh, hatei nang koe ka o han, Midiannaw teh tami buet touh na thei e patetlah na thei han doeh atipouh.
17 And he said to him, If now I have found grace in your sight, then show me a sign that you talk with me.
Gideon ni nang koehoi minhmai kahawi ka hmawt pawiteh, nang hoi atu kâpatonae panue nahanelah, kamnuenae hno buet touh na hmawt sak haw.
18 Depart not hence, I pray you, until I come to you, and bring forth my present, and set it before you. And he said, I will tarry until you come again.
Hno buetbuet touh ka sin vaiteh, na hmalah ka thokhai hoehroukrak hete hmuen koehoi na kampuen pouh hanh ei a telah ka kâhei navah ahni ni, na ban hoehroukrak ka o han a ti.
19 And Gideon went in, and made ready a kid, and unleavened cakes of an ephah of flour: the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought it out to him under the oak, and presented it.
Gideon ni a cei teh, hmaeca buet touh, tavai ephah buet touh, tonphuenhoehe vaiyeinaw hah a sin teh, hmae moi hah tangthung dawk a pâseng teh, hmae moi hang teh hlaam dawk a ta teh, kalvantami aonae koe bengkengkung rahim a sin teh a poe.
20 And the angel of God said to him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them on this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so.
Hahoi Cathut e kalvantami ni ahni koe, moi hoi tonphuenhoehe hah lat loe, hete talung van hrueng loe, a hang hoi awi loe atipouh. Hottelah a sak pouh.
21 Then the angel of the LORD put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and there rose up fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes. Then the angel of the LORD departed out of his sight.
Hahoi teh, BAWIPA e kalvantami ni a kut dawk a sin e sonron a dâw teh, moi hoi tonphuenhoehe vaiyei hah a nep. Hahoi talung thung hoi a tâco teh, moi hoi tonphuenhoehe vaiyei hmai he a kak pouh. BAWIPA e kalvantami teh yout a kahma pouh.
22 And when Gideon perceived that he was an angel of the LORD, Gideon said, Alas, O LORD God! for because I have seen an angel of the LORD face to face.
Hat torei teh, Gideon ni BAWIPA e kalvantami tie a panue. Hahoi teh, Oe Bawipa Jehovah, atuteh BAWIPA e kalvantami minhmai rek ka hmu toe a ti.
23 And the LORD said to him, Peace be to you; fear not: you shall not die.
BAWIPA ni na lungpuen hanh. Yawhawinae awmseh. Nang teh na dout mahoeh.
24 Then Gideon built an altar there to the LORD, and called it Jehovahshalom: to this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
Hote hmuen koe Gideon ni Bawipa hanlah thuengnae a sak teh, BAWIPA teh roumnae (Jehovah-shaloam) telah a phung. Abiezrit capa e hmuen koe Ophrah kho dawk sahnin ditouh ao.
25 And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said to him, Take your father’s young bullock, even the second bullock of seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that your father has, and cut down the grove that is by it:
Hote hnin tangmin vah BAWIPA ni na poe e maito matawng hoi apâhni e kum sari touh e maitotan hah sin nateh, na pa ni a sak e Baal cathut thuengnae khoungroe hah raphoe nateh, khoungroe teng kaawm e Asherah thing hah tâtueng loe.
26 And build an altar to the LORD your God on the top of this rock, in the ordered place, and take the second bullock, and offer a burnt sacrifice with the wood of the grove which you shall cut down.
Kai ni ka dei e patetlah hete talung van vah, BAWIPA hanlah thuengnae khoungroe na sak hnukkhu, na tâtueng e thing hoi apâhni e maito hah hmaisawi thuengnae lah sak loe atipouh.
27 Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as the LORD had said to him: and so it was, because he feared his father’s household, and the men of the city, that he could not do it by day, that he did it by night.
Gideon ni amae sannaw 10 touh a kaw teh, BAWIPA ni a dei e patetlah a sak, a na pa e imthungkhunaw thoseh, khocanaw thoseh a taki teh, kanîthun vah a sak ngam hoeh dawkvah tangmin vah a sak.
28 And when the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was cast down, and the grove was cut down that was by it, and the second bullock was offered on the altar that was built.
Amom khocanaw a thaw awh navah, Baal cathut e khoungroe peng a kâraphoe teh, ateng kaawm e Asherah thing hai a rawp teh, a hnukkhu sak e thuengnae khoungroe van vah, apâhni e maitotan thueng e hah a hmu awh.
29 And they said one to another, Who has done this thing? And when they inquired and asked, they said, Gideon the son of Joash has done this thing.
Hat toteh, hete hno heh apimouh ka sak telah buet touh hoi buet touh akung a kâkhei awh navah, hete hno teh Joash capa Gideon ni a sak telah tami tangawn ni ati awh.
30 Then the men of the city said to Joash, Bring out your son, that he may die: because he has cast down the altar of Baal, and because he has cut down the grove that was by it.
Hattoteh khocanaw ni Joash koe, nange capa ni Baal cathutnaw e khoungroe peng a raphoe teh, ateng kaawm e Asherahkung hah a tâtueng dawkvah, ahni teh thei hanelah tâcawt sak hottelah atipouh awh.
31 And Joash said to all that stood against him, Will you plead for Baal? will you save him? he that will plead for him, let him be put to death whilst it is yet morning: if he be a god, let him plead for himself, because one has cast down his altar.
Hateiteh, Joash ni ahnimouh koe nangmouh teh Baal cathut koelah maw na kampang awh han, hotnaw na rungngang awh han, ahni koelah kampang e tami teh, khodai hoehnahlan dout lawiseh. Baal teh cathut katang pawiteh, ahnie thuengnae khoungroe a raphoe kecu dawk, ama ni a sak e teh amamouh ni khang na lawiseh, telah bout atipouh.
32 Therefore on that day he called him Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal plead against him, because he has thrown down his altar.
Hottelah Baal cathut e khoungroe ka raphoe e tami teh, amamouh ni a sak e patetlah ahni ni khang sak lawiseh, ati teh, amae capa hah hat hnin vah, Jerubbaal telah a min a phung.
33 Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the children of the east were gathered together, and went over, and pitched in the valley of Jezreel.
Hattoteh Midian tami, Amalek tami, Kanîtholae tami pueng a kamkhueng awh teh, Jezreel yawn tanghling dawk a roe awh.
34 But the Spirit of the LORD came on Gideon, and he blew a trumpet; and Abiezer was gathered after him.
BAWIPA e Muitha teh Gideon koe a pha. Gideon ni mongka a ueng teh, Abiezer capanaw ni a hnuk a kâbang awh.
35 And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh; who also was gathered after him: and he sent messengers to Asher, and to Zebulun, and to Naphtali; and they came up to meet them.
A patounenaw hah Manasseh ram pueng dawk a patoun teh, Manasseh miphun pueng ni a kâbang awh. Asher ram, Zebulun ram, Naphtali ram koe lahai a patounenaw bout a patoun teh, ahnimanaw hai kamkhuengnae koe a tho awh.
36 And Gideon said to God, If you will save Israel by my hand, as you have said,
Gideon ni Cathut koe nang ni na dei e patetlah Isarel miphunnaw hah kaie kut dawk hoi na hlout sak katang han na pawiteh,
37 Behold, I will put a fleece of wool in the floor; and if the dew be on the fleece only, and it be dry on all the earth beside, then shall I know that you will save Israel by my hand, as you have said.
kai ni tu buet touh e muen hah thongma dawk ka ta han. Hote tumuen teh tadamtui cukruk bawm boilah, talai remphui pawiteh, na dei e patetlah Isarel miphunnaw kaie kut dawk hoi na rungngang han tie hah ka panue han.
38 And it was so: for he rose up early on the morrow, and thrust the fleece together, and wringed the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water.
Hatteh ka hei e patetlah ao. Amom a thaw teh, tumuen a kasu boteh tadamtui kawlung buet touh yikkawi.
39 And Gideon said to God, Let not your anger be hot against me, and I will speak but this once: let me prove, I pray you, but this once with the fleece; let it now be dry only on the fleece, and on all the ground let there be dew.
Gideon ni na lung khuek sak hanh ei, vai touh bout ka dei einei. Tu buet touh e muen hoi atu vai touh dueng na tanouk sak ei. Talai pueng tadamtui a duk vaiteh, tumuen remphui naseh, telah Cathut koe a hei e patetlah,
40 And God did so that night: for it was dry on the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.
hote karum hai Cathut ni a sak pouh teh, talai pueng a duk teh tumuen remphui lah ao.
