< Judges 3 >

1 Now these are the nations which Yhwh left, to prove Israel by them, even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan;
Hiche nam hohi Canaan mite kisatna–a anapang khalou, Israelte patepna dinga Pakaiyin gamsunga anadalhah hochu ahi.
2 Only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing thereof;
Aman hiche hi galsatji hekhalou lai Israel khangthah ho galsatje akithem chuhna diuva abol ahi.
3 Namely, five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baal–hermon unto the entering in of Hamath.
Hiche nam hochu Philistine’te (Phillistine vaipo nga ho noiya cheng hochu ahiuve), Canaan mite jouse, Sidon mite chule Baal-hermon mol apat Lebo-hamath changeiya kijam lhungpeh Lebanon mol chunga cheng Hiv mite ahiuve.
4 And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of Yhwh, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
Pakaiyin Mose mangchan apu apateu thupeh anapeh hochu, Israel mite hin anit uvem anitlou uham? Ti hetna dinga hiche mipite hohi ana dalhah ahi.
5 And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites:
Hiti chun Israel tehi Canaan mite, Hit mite, Amor mite, Periz mite, Hiv mite chuleh Jebus mite lah'a cheng ahiuvin,
6 And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.
chuleh amaho toh akicheng touvin, Israel chapaten amaho chanu teho akichen piuvin, chule Israel chanute chu amaho chapate toh kicheng ding in ana peuvin ahi. Hiti chun Israelten amaho pathen ho chu ajenle tauve.
7 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of Yhwh, and forgat Yhwh their God, and served Baalim and the groves.
Israelten Pakai mitmun thilse jeng anabol tauvin, amahon a-Pakai, a-Pathen uchu asumil tauvin, chule amahon Baal leh Asherah milim semthu hochu jenle in ana pang tauvin ahi.
8 Therefore the anger of Yhwh was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushan–rishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Chushan–rishathaim eight years.
Hijeh chun Pakai chu Israel dounan alunghang lheh jengtan, hijeh chun Ram-naharaim lengpa Cushan-rishathaim khut’ah ana pedohtan, chuin Israelten kumget sungin Cushan-rishathaim sohna ana tongun ahi.
9 And when the children of Israel cried unto Yhwh, Yhwh raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother.
Hinlah Israel mite chu Pakai koma panpi ngaichan ana kaptauvin ahileh, Pakaiyin amaho huhdoh dingin mikhat ana tungdoh in, amachu Caleb naopa Kenaz chapa Othniel ahi.
10 And the Spirit of Yhwh came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: And Yhwh delivered Chushan–rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushan–rishathaim.
Pakai Lhagao chu achunga ahungchun hiti chun ama Israelte thutan vaihom’in ahung pangtan, chuin Othniel chu Ram lengpa Cushan-rishathaim chunga galboldin ahung kipantan ahileh Pakaiyin gal anajo sahtan.
11 And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
Hijeh chun kum somli gamsunga chamna ana umm in, chujouvin Kenaz chapa Othniel chu ana thitan ahi.
12 And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of Yhwh: And Yhwh strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of Yhwh.
Avelin Israelten Pakai mitmun thilse jeng ana bolkit tauvin ahileh, hitobanga athilse bol jeh uhin Pakaiyin Moab lengpa Eglon chu Israelte chungah ana vaihom sahtan ahi.
13 And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees.
Eglon’in Ammon mite leh Amalek mite chu ana kiloikhompin, hitichun anakon'un Israelte chu anajou tauvin Lusuga lei tia kihe Jericho khopi chu ana toupha tauvin ahi.
14 So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
Hiti chun Israelten Moab lengpa Eglon noiya kum somle get sungin sohna ana tong’un ahi.
15 But when the children of Israel cried unto Yhwh, Yhwh raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man lefthanded: and by him the children of Israel sent a present unto Eglon the king of Moab.
Ahinlah Israelte chu panpi ngaichat nan Pakai koma ana kapjah jeng tauvin ahileh, Pakaiyin amaho huhdoh dingin mikhat ahin tungdoh kit in, ama minchu Gera chapa Ehud ahi. Benjamin phunga kona khutvei-long pachu anahi. Israelten Moab lengpa Eglon koma kai apehdiu chu Ehud agathah sah’un ahi.
16 But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he did gird it under his raiment upon his right thigh.
Hiti chun Ehud in tong-khat a sao, alangtoa hem chemkhat ajetlam mal’ah ajeplut'in pon akhu khum’in ahi.
17 And he brought the present unto Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon was a very fat man.
Aman mithaotah Eglon koma chun kai-pehding sum chu ahin pon ahung in ahi.
18 And when he had made an end to offer the present, he sent away the people that bare the present.
Athilpeh chu apehchai phat in Ehud chu ache khompi cheng chutoh inlang cheding in ahung kipat doh tauvin ahi.
19 But he himself turned again from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king: who said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.
Hinlah Ehud chu Gilgal koma song milim kisem kom ahunglhun phat'in ahung kileheijin, Eglon koma chun ahungin, “Keiman thuguh seiding khat kaneiye” ati. Hijeh chun lengpan ama lhachaho koma chun, “Thipbeh un” atin, amaho chu aindan sunga kon chun asoldoh tan ahi.
20 And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting in a summer parlour, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of his seat.
Ehud chu ain-chung dana dap heova achangseh'a tou Eglon koma chun achelut in Eglon koma chun, “Keiman Pathen akon in nang dinga thuthot khat kahinpoi ati.” Hitia chu Eglon lengpa chu atouna-a kona adindoh chun,
21 And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:
Ehud’in avei-langin amal jetlama aje achem chu asatdoh in, lengpa oi achun aphut luttan ahi.
22 And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out.
Chemchu alutthuh jeh'in lengpa a-oi thaolah a chun achem kungjong chu alhum heltan ahi. Hijeh chun Ehud’in chemchu anung loidoh tapon, chule amaha’a kon chun lengpa eh jong ahungdoh leu tan ahi.
23 Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and locked them.
Hiche jouchun Ehud’in hiche indan kot hochu akamsoh keiyin kanglong aheh khum in, ehbuh langa achomlhan ajamdoh tai.
24 When he was gone out, his servants came; and when they saw that, behold, the doors of the parlour were locked, they said, Surely he covereth his feet in his summer chamber.
Ehud achedoh jouphat chun lengpa lhacha hochu ahung kinung leuvin ahileh, inchung dan kot jouse chu ana kikam sohkei chu agamu tauvin, amahon insung dana chu eh athah hiding in agelun ahi.
25 And they tarried till they were ashamed: and, behold, he opened not the doors of the parlour; therefore they took a key, and opened them: and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth.
Hijeh chun chomkhat set angah un, ahinlah phat sotthimtah anga vangun lengpa chu ahungdoh deh tapon, hichun atijaovin akot-heh chu agala tauvin ahileh, amahon kotchu ahon phat’un, apupau chu athisa lhonga kijam agamudoh tauvin ahi.
26 And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Seirath.
Lhacha hochu ageisangle kah uchun Ehud chu ajamdoh in song milim kisem lamchu ahopa in Seirah lam-ah ajamdoh tan ahi.
27 And it came to pass, when he was come, that he blew a trumpet in the mountain of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the mount, and he before them.
Ama Ephraim thinglhang gam alhunphat in Ehud chun gal kona ding sumkon amuttan, hichun Israel mi honkhat chu thinglhanga kon in apuisuh in
28 And he said unto them, Follow after me: for Yhwh hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of Jordan toward Moab, and suffered not a man to pass over.
“Neijuiyun,” ati, “Ajeh chu nagal miho Moab mite chunga hi Pakaiyin galjona napeh'u ahitai,” ati. Hijeh chun amahon ajuiyun, Moab akona Jordan vadung galkaina palmun jouse chu atouphauvin koimacha agal kaisah pouvin ahi.
29 And they slew of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all lusty, and all men of valour; and there escaped not a man.
Amahon Moab mite chu akisat peuvin amaho lah'a ahat pen hole galsat themcheh ho khatcha jong sohcha louhel in, mihem sangsom athat’un ahi.
30 So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest fourscore years.
Hiti chun Israelten Moab’te chu anajou’un gamsung achun kum somget jen chamna ana um-in ahi.
31 And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, which slew of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox goad: and he also delivered Israel.
Ehud nungin Anath chapa Shamgar chun Israelte ana huhdoh in, aman bongchal khagu mangcha in khatvei chu Phillistinete mi jagup anathat in ahi.
