Judges 8
1 And the men of Ephraim said to Gedeon, What [is] this [that] you have done to us, in that you did not call us when you went to fight with Madiam? and they chode with him sharply.
Ephraim ni nang ni Midiannaw na tuk navah, Bangkongmaw kaimanaw hai na kaw awh hoeh vaw. Kaimouh bangmaw ka sak telah thouk a kâoun awh.
2 And he said to them, What have I now done in comparison of you? [is] not the gleaning of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?
Gideon ni nangmouh ni na sak e patetlah kai ni bangmaw ka sak. Abiezer misur khi e hlakvah Ephraim misur pâkhueng e ahawihnawn.
3 The Lord has delivered into your hand the princes of Madiam, Oreb and Zeb; and what could I do in comparison of you? Then was their spirit calmed toward him, when he spoke this word.
Cathut ni Midiannaw e ransabawi Oreb hoi Zeeb teh nangmae kut dawk na poe toung nahoehmaw. Nangmouh ni na sak awh e patetlah kai ni bangmaw ka sak tie lawk bout a dei pouh e lawk ahnimouh ni a thai torei teh a lungupti awh.
4 And Gedeon came to Jordan, and went over, himself and the three hundred with him, hungry, yet pursuing.
Gideon ni Jordan tui koe a pha awh torei teh, ama koe kaawm e tami 300 touh ni pueng hoi tawn nalaihoi a pâlei teh Jordan a raka awh.
5 And he said to the men of Socchoth, Give, I pray you, bread to feed this people that follow me; because they are faint, and behold, I am following after Zebee and Salmana, kings of Madiam.
Sukkoth khonaw hanelah kai ka hnukkâbangnaw hah vaiyei poe haw. Ahnimouh teh nget a tawn awh toe, Midian siangpahrang Zebah hoi Zalmunna hah atu ka pâlei awh atipouh.
6 And the princes of Socchoth said, [Are] the hands of Zebee and Salmana now in your hand, that we should give bread to your host?
Sukkoth bawinaw ni Zebah hoi Zalmunna hah na kut dawk kaawm tangcoung e patetlah maw ransanaw hah vaiyei ka poe han vaw telah ati awh.
7 And Gedeon said, Therefore when the Lord gives Zebee and Salmana into my hand, then will I tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness, and the Barkenim.
Gideon ni hete hno kecu dawk BAWIPA ni Zebah hoi Zalmunna ka kut dawk na poe toteh kahrawng kawthaknaw hoi na tak dawk kâpawnrayak lah na hem han telah atipouh.
8 And he went up thence to Phanuel, and spoke to them likewise: and the men of Phanuel answered him as the men of Socchoth [had] answered him.
Hahoi Penuel kho lah a cei teh, hot patetvanlah, ahnimouh koe a dei pouh eiteh, Penuelnaw ni hai Sukkoth khonaw ni a dei e patetlah a dei pouh awh.
9 And Gedeon said to the men of Phanuel, When I return in peace, I will break down this tower.
Gideon ni kai karoum lahoi bout ka tho toteh, hete imrasang heh he ka raphoe han atipouh.
10 And Zebee and Salmana [were] in Carcar, and their host [was] with them, about fifteen thousand, all that were left of all the host of the aliens; and they that fell [were] a hundred and twenty thousand men that drew the sword.
Hahoi tahloi ka patuem e tami 120000 a due awh toe. Kanîtholae ransanaw thung dawk e ka cawi rae 15000 tabang a hrawi teh Zebah hoi Zalmunna teh Kakor kho ao awh.
11 And Gedeon went up by the way of them that lived in tents, eastward of Nabai and Jegebal; and he struck the host, and the host was secure.
Gideon ni Nobah kho hoi Jobehah kanîtholah im dawk kho ka sak e naw a cei teh a roenae rim hah ring laipalah onae tueng dawk ransanaw hah a tuk awh.
12 And Zebee and Salmana fled; and he pursued after them, and took the two kings of Madiam, Zebee and Salmana, and discomfited all the army.
Zebah hoi Zalmunna a yawng roi toteh Gideon ni a pâlei teh rim a raphoe pouh. Midian siangpahrang kahni touh Zebah hoi Zalmunna a man awh teh, ransanaw pueng teh koung a kayei awh.
13 And Gedeon the son of Joas returned from the battle, down from the battle of Ares.
Hahoi, Joash capa Gideon teh kanîtho hoehnahlan tarantuknae koehoi bout a ban teh,
14 And he took prisoner a young lad of the men of Socchoth, and questioned him; and he wrote to him the names of the princes of Socchoth and of their elders, seventy-seven men.
Sukkoth kho e thoundoun buet touh a man awh teh lawk a pacei. Ahni niyah Sukkoth kho e kaawm bawinaw a lungkahanaw e tami min 77 touh a dei pouh.
15 And Gedeon came to the princes of Socchoth, and said, Behold Zebee and Salmana, about whom you reproached me, saying, [Are] the hands of Zebee and Salmana now in your hand, that we should give bread to your men that are faint?
Gideon ni Sukkoth khonaw koe a cei teh, Zebah hoi Zalmunna teh khenhaw! hete taminaw ni maw Zebah Zalmunna teh na kut dawk kaawm e patetlah a tha a tawn nah vaiyei na poe han maw na ka tet ni teh, na ka pacekpahlek e khe atipouh.
16 And he took the elders of the city with the thorns of the wilderness and the Barkenim, and with them he tore the men of the city.
Hahoi kho dawk e a lungkahanaw a kaw teh, kahrawngum e kawthak hoi Sukkoth kho e taminaw hah a hem.
17 And he overthrew the tower of Phanuel, and killed the men of the city.
Penuel kho imrasang hai a raphoe pouh awh teh, khocanaw hai be a thei awh.
18 And he said to Zebee and Salmana, Where [are] the men whom you killed in Thabor? and they said, As you, so [were] they, according to the likeness of the son of a king.
Zebah hoi Zalmunna koevah Tabor kho dawk e na thei e naw tami nâyittouh maw ka phat telah ati. Ahnimouh ni nang nama patet doeh. Siangpahrang capa hoi koung a kâvan awh atipouh.
19 And Gedeon said, They were my brethren and the sons of my mother: [as] the Lord lives, if you had preserved them alive, I would not have slain you.
Ahnimouh ni ka hmaunawngha anu e capa doeh, BAWIPA a hring e patetlah ahnimouh teh pâhlung awh pawiteh kai ni na thet awh mahoeh ei atipouh.
20 And he said to Jether his firstborn, Rise and kill them; but the lad drew not his sword, for he was afraid, for he was yet very young.
Hahoi a camin Jether koevah, thaw nateh thet haw atipouh. Hatei ahni ni a tahloi rayu hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a naw rah ni teh a taki.
21 And Zebee and Salmana said, Rise you and fall upon us, for your power [is] as that of a man; and Gedeon arose, and killed Zebee and Salmana: and he took the round ornaments that were on the necks of their camels.
Hathnukkhu hoi Zebah hoi Zalmunna ni nang nama thaw nateh na thet leih. Bangkongtetpawiteh tongpa na tho e patetlah na thayung hai te lah doeh ao rah atipouh. Hahoi Gideon ni a thaw teh, Zebah hoi Zalmunna teh a thei teh, ahnimae kalauk lahuen dawk awi sak e dingyin hah a rading pouh.
22 And the men of Israel said to Gedeon, Rule, [my] lord, over us, both you, and your son, and your son's son; for you have saved us out of the hand of Madiam.
Hot patetlah Isarelnaw niyah Gideon koe nang nama ni na uk awh leih, na capa hoi na ca catoun ditouh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Midiannaw e kut dawk hoi na rungngang toe atipouh awh.
23 And Gedeon said to them, I will not rule, and my son shall not rule among you; the Lord shall rule over you.
Hateiteh, Gideon ni kai ni na uk awh mahoeh. Ka capa ni hai na uk awh mahoeh. BAWIPA ni na uk awh han atipouh.
24 And Gedeon said to them, I will make a request of you, and do you give me every man an earring out of his spoils: for they had golden earrings, for they were Ismaelites.
Gideon ni nangmouh koe hno buet touh hei han ka ngai. Tami pueng ni na tarannaw kut dawk e na lae hnâpacapnaw hah be na poe haw atipouh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tarannaw teh Ishmael miphun lah ao awh dawkvah sui hnâpacap koung a tawn awh.
25 And they said, We will certainly give them: and he opened his garment, and each man cast therein an earring of his spoils.
Ahnimouh ni lungthocalah hoi na poe han atipouh awh. Hahoi hni a phai pouh awh teh taminaw pueng ni amamouh ni a la awh e hnâpacapnaw hah a poe awh.
26 And the weight of the golden earrings which he asked, was a thousand and seven hundred pieces of gold, besides the crescents, and the chains, and the garments, and the purple cloths that were on the kings of Madiam, and besides the chains that were on the necks of their camels.
Sui hnâpacap a hei e naw teh Shekel 17000 touh a pha. Dingyin hoi laikaw, Midian siangpahrangnaw ni a kâkhu awh e hni paling hoi kalauk ni a lahuen dawk awi e naw hai bout a hmu sin.
27 And Gedeon made an ephod of it, an set it in his city in Ephratha; and all Israel went there a whoring after it, and it became a stumbling block to Gedeon and his house.
Gideon ni a poe awh e sui hoi Ephod a sak teh a onae Ophrah kho vah a ta. Hote hmuen koe Isarelnaw pueng ni a yon awh. Gideon hoi imthungkhunaw hanelah hai karap lah ao.
28 And Madiam, was straitened before the children of Israel, and they did not lift up their head any more; and the land had rest forty years in the days of Gedeon.
Hot patetlah Midiannaw teh Isarel catounnaw koe a sung awh teh kâroe thai awh hoeh toe. Hahoi Gideon a hring na thung hote ram teh kum 40 touh thung karoumcalah ao.
29 And Jerobaal the son of Joas went and sat in his house.
Joash capa Jerubbaal teh a cei teh ama im vah ao.
30 And Gedeon had seventy sons begotten of his body, for he had many wives.
Gideon ni a ma thung hoi ka tâcawt e capa 70 touh a tawn. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a yu moi a pap dawkvah.
31 And his concubine was in Sychem, and she also bore him a son, and gave him the name Abimelech.
Shekhem kho kaawm e ado ni hai capa a khe teh a min lah Abimelek a phung.
32 And Gedeon son of Joas died in his city, and he was buried in the sepulchre of Joas his father in Ephratha of Abi-Esdri.
Joash capa Gideon a matawng toteh a due teh, Abiezrit tami Ophrah kho e Joash tangkom dawk a pakawp awh.
33 And it came to pass when Gedeon was dead, that the children of Israel turned, and went a whoring after Baalim, and made for themselves a covenant with Baal that he should be their god.
Joash capa Gideon a due tahma hoi Isarel catounnaw Baal cathut koe a kâyo awh dawkvah, Baalberith hah a cathut lah a ta awh.
34 And the children of Israel remembered not the Lord their God who had delivered them out of the hand of all that afflicted them round about.
A tengpam e tarannaw kut dawk hoi ka rasat e amamae BAWIPA Cathut hah a pahnim awh.
35 And they did not deal mercifully with the house of Jerobaal, (the same is Gedeon) according to all the good which he did to Israel.
Isarelnaw lathueng vah hawinae ka sak e Jerubbaal (Gideon) imthungkhu koe boehai pahrennae kamnuek sak ngai awh hoeh.
