< Judges 3 >

1 Now these [are] the nations which the LORD left, to prove Israel by them, [even] as many [of Israel] as had not known all the wars of Canaan;
Hete miphunnaw teh BAWIPA ni tuk boihoeh rae Isarelnaw tanouk nahanelah a pâhlung pouh e naw doeh.
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;
Taran tuknae ka thoum hoeh rae naw taran tuk a thoum nahanelah, BAWIPA ni a hruek pouh e miphunnaw teh,
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.
Filistinnaw bawi panga touh hoi, Kanaannaw, Sidonnaw, Lebanon mon dawk kaawm e Hivnaw, Baalhermon mon koehoi Lebohamath lam totouh.
4 And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of the LORD, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
BAWIPA ni a na min Mosi hno lahoi a na mintoenaw koe lawk a thui e kâpoelawknaw patetlah a tarawi maw tarawi hoeh maw tie kamnue sak nahanelah, Isarel miphunnaw tanouk nahanelah doeh.
5 And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites:
Hottelah, Isarelnaw teh Kanaannaw, Hitnaw, Amonnaw, Perizinaw, Hivnaw, Jebusitnaw rahak vah ao awh teh,
6 And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.
a canunaw hoi a kâpaluen a kâha awh, a cathutnaw hah a bawk pouh awh.
7 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgat the LORD their God, and served Baalim and the groves.
Isarelnaw ni BAWIPA mithmu hno kahawihoeh a sak awh. BAWIPA a pahnawt awh teh, Baal, Asherah hah a bawk awh.
8 Therefore the anger of the LORD 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.
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA teh Isarelnaw koe puenghoi a lungkhuek teh, Mesopotamia siangpahrang Kushan-rishathaim kut dawk a yo, Isarelnaw teh Kushan-rishathaim e san lah kum taroe touh ao awh.
9 And when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, [even] Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother.
Hatei, Isarelnaw BAWIPA bout a kaw awh toteh, BAWIPA ni rungngangkung buet touh a tâco sak. Ahni teh, Kalep nawngha Kenaz capa Othniel doeh.
10 And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: and the LORD delivered Chushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushan-rishathaim.
BAWIPA e Muitha teh a tak dawk a pha, Isarelnaw a uk teh taran a thaw khai. Mesopotamia siangpahrang Kushan-rishathaim hah BAWIPA ni a kut dawk a poe teh, a tâ.
11 And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
Hatdawkvah, ram teh kum 40 thung a roum. Hahoi teh, Kenaz capa Othniel teh a due.
12 And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD.
Hahoi Isarelnaw ni BAWIPA mithmu vah hno kahawihoehe bout a sak awh. BAWIPA ni Moab siangpahrang Eglon teh Isarelnaw tuk hanlah a kamthaw sak. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA mithmu vah hno kahawihoehe a sak awh.
13 And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees.
Ammonnaw hoi Amaleknaw hah a pâkhueng teh Isarelnaw a tuk sak. Ahnimouh ni a tâ awh teh, ungkung kho hah a la pouh awh.
14 So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
Isarelnaw teh Moab siangpahrang Eglon san lah kum 18 touh ao awh.
15 But when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD 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.
Hatei, Isarelnaw ni BAWIPA bout a kaw awh teh, BAWIPA ni ahnimouh hanlah rungngangkung bout a poe. Benjamin miphun Gera capa, avoilae kut ka hno e Ehud doeh. Isarelnaw ni Ehud koehoi Moab siangpahrang Eglon hanelah hno a patawn awh.
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.
Hahoi Ehud ni ayung dong touh ka saw ni teh avoivang kahran e tahloi hah a sin teh, aranglae khok dawk a hna thung a kawm.
17 And he brought the present unto Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon [was] a very fat man.
Hahoi Moab siangpahrang Eglon koe hno teh a poe. Eglon teh ka thaw poung e lah ao.
18 And when he had made an end to offer the present, he sent away the people that bare the present.
Ehud ni hno a poe hnukkhu, hno aphu sak e naw a cei sak.
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.
Hatei, ama teh, Gilgal kho koe e lungdon koehoi let a ban teh, Oe siangpahrang, nang hanlah arulahoi laidei hane buet touh ka sin atipouh. Hahoi taica atipouh teh, a sannaw teh ama koehoi koung a tâco awh.
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.
Imthungkhu a tungkhung dawk a tahung navah, Ehud ni a tho sin teh, nang hanelah Cathut koehoi lawk buet touh ka sin ati pouh teh, ahni teh tungkhung dawk hoi hluet a thaw navah,
21 And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:
Ehud ni avoilae kut hoi aranglae a phai hna thung e tahloi a rayu teh, a von dawk a thut pouh.
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.
A hlong hroung ka muem lah a thaw ni tahloi hah muen a kayo teh awh ei a tâco.
23 Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and locked them.
Hahoi Ehud alawilah a tâco teh, a onae rakhannaw pueng he a khan teh a taren pouh.
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.
A ceitakhai hnukkhu a sannaw a tho teh, a onae rakhannaw he a kâtaren e a hmu awh torei teh, alouke imthungkhu dawk vai ao vah telah a pouk awh.
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.
Ngailawi a ring awh eiteh, a bawipa ni tho a paawng hoeh toung dawkvah, ahnimouh ni cabi a la awh teh, tho a paawng awh toteh, amamae bawi teh carawng dawk due laihoi kamlet e hah a hmu awh.
26 And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Seirath.
Hottelah a ring awh lahunnah, Ehud teh a la yawng toe. Lungdonnaw a tapoung teh, Seirah kho vah pou a pha.
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.
Ephraim mon dawkvah mongka a ueng teh, Isarelnaw ni a hnuk a kâbang awh teh, mon hoi a kum awh.
28 And he said unto them, Follow after me: for the LORD 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.
Hahoi ahni ni, ka hnukkâbang awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, na taran Moabnaw teh BAWIPA ni ka kut dawk na poe toe atipouh. Hahoi a kâbang sin awh teh, Moab ram lah ceinae lam Jordan palang rakanae lam hah a ngang awh teh, api buet touh hai cet thai awh hoeh.
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.
Hote tueng dawk Moabnaw 10, 000 touh a thei awh. Athakaawme taminaw seng doeh, buet touh hai hlout awh hoeh.
30 So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest fourscore years.
Hatdawkvah, hote hnin dawk teh Moabnaw teh Isarelnaw kut dawk a sung awh. Hote ram teh kum 80 touh a roum.
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.
Ahni hnukkhu teh, Anath capa Shamgar a tâco teh, Filistinnaw 600 touh bongpai pasum hoi a thei awh teh, Isarel miphunnaw a hlout sak.
