Judges 3
1 Now these are the nations that the Lord left, to prove by them the Israelites, namely, all those who had not experienced all the wars of Canaan;
Kanaan prae ah misatukhaih panoek vai ai Israel kaminawk boih tanoek hanah,
2 Only in order that the future generations of the children of Israel might obtain knowledge, to teach them war; but only such as before had learned nothing thereof;
misatuk naah caeh vai ai Israel kaminawk ih a caanawk misatuk amtuk o hanah, Angraeng mah caehtaak ih kaminawk loe,
3 Namely, the five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Zidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt on mount Lebanon, from mount Ba'al-chermon unto the entrance of Chamath.
Philistin ukkung angraeng pangato, Kanaan kaminawk boih, Sidon kaminawk, Lebanon mae nuiah kaom Hiv kaminawk, Baal-Hermon mae nui hoi Hamath karoek to kaom kaminawk to athum o.
4 And they were left to prove by them the Israelites, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of the Lord, which he had commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
Angraeng mah Mosi rang hoiah ampanawk khaeah paek ih loknawk to pazui o tih maw, pazui o mak ai, tiah panoek hanah Israel kaminawk to tanoek.
5 And the children of Israel dwelt in the midst of the Canaanites, the Hittites, and the Emorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites;
Israel kaminawk loe Kanaan kaminawk, Hit kaminawk, Amor kaminawk, Periz kaminawk, Hiv kaminawk hoi Jebus kaminawk salakah khosak o.
6 And they took their daughters to themselves for wives, and their daughters they gave to their sons; and they served their gods.
Nihcae ih canu to zu ah lak o moe, angmacae ih canu to nihcae capanawk hanah zu ah a paek o pacoengah, nihcae sithawnawk ih tok to a sak pae o.
7 And the children of Israel did [thus] the evil in the eyes of the Lord, and forgot the Lord their God, and served the Be'alim and the groves.
Israel kaminawk loe Angraeng mikhnukah kahoih ai hmuen to sak o; angmacae ih Angraeng Sithaw to pahnet o moe, Baal hoi Asherah ih tok to sak pae o.
8 Wherefore the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Cushan-rish'athayim the king of Mesopotamia; and the children of Israel served Cushan-rish'athayim eight years.
To pongah Angraeng palungphuihaih Israel kaminawk nuiah krak moe, nihcae to Mesopotamia siangpahrang Kushan-Rishathaim ban ah a zawh; Israel kaminawk loe anih ban ah saning tazetto thung toksak o.
9 And the children of Israel cried then unto the Lord, and the Lord raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, namely, 'Othniel the son of Kenaz, the younger brother of Caleb.
Toe Angraeng khaeah a hangh o naah loe, nihcae pahlong hanah Angraeng mah Kaleb ih amnawk, Kenaz capa Othniel to pathawk; anih mah nihcae to pahlong.
10 And the spirit of the Lord came over him, and he judged Israel, and went out to battle: and the Lord delivered Cushan-rish'athayim the king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed over Cushan-rish'athayim.
Anih nuiah Angraeng ih Muithla to oh; anih loe Israel kaminawk lokcaekkung ah oh pacoengah, misatukhaih ahmuen ah a caeh. Angraeng mah Mesopotamia siangpahrang Kushan-Arathaim to anih ban ah paek pongah, anih mah to siangpahrang to pazawk.
11 And the land had rest forty years; and then died 'Othniel the son of Kenaz.
To pongah Kenaz capa Othniel duek karoek to, saning quipalito thung prae thungah monghaih to oh.
12 And the children of Israel did again the evil in the eyes of the Lord; and the Lord strengthened 'Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done the evil in the eyes of the Lord.
Israel kaminawk mah Angraeng mikhnukah kahoih ai hmuen to sak o let; to tiah nihcae mah Angraeng hmaa ah kahoih ai hmuen to sak o pongah, Angraeng mah Moab siangpahrang Eglon to thacaksak.
13 And he gathered unto him the children of 'Ammon and 'Amalek, and they went and smote Israel, and took possession of the city of palm-trees.
Eglon mah Ammon hoi Amelek kaminawk to nawnto pakhueng, Israel to a tuk moe, ungsikung kaom vangpui to lak.
14 And the children of Israel served 'Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
Israel kaminawk loe saning hatlaitazetto thung, Moab siangpahrang Eglon ban thungah toksak o.
15 But the children of Israel cried then unto the Lord; and the Lord raised up unto them a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera a Benjamite, a man who was lamed in his right hand; and the children of Israel sent by him a present unto 'Eglon the king of Moab.
Israel kaminawk mah Angraeng khaeah hang o let naah, Angraeng mah banqoi ban patoh thaih, Benjamin acaeng, Gera capa, Ehud to pahlongkung ah paek; Israel kaminawk mah anih to Moab siangpahrang Eglon khaeah tangqum paek hanah patoeh o.
16 But Ehud made himself a sword which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he girded it under his garments upon his right thigh.
Ehud loe ahnuk ahmaa kanoe, dongto kasawk sumsen to sak moe, kahni thungah ayaw hmoek pacoengah, a bantang phaih nuiah angnaengh.
17 And he brought the present near unto 'Eglon the king of Moab; now 'Eglon was a very fat man.
Tangqum to Moab siangpahrang Eglon khaeah paek; anih loe thawk parai.
18 And it came to pass when he had made an end to offer the present, that he sent away the people who had borne the present.
Ehud mah tangqum to paek pacoengah, tangqum phaw kaminawk to a caehsak ving.
19 But he himself returned again from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret word unto thee, O King. And he said, Keep silence. And thereupon went out from his presence all that stood by him.
Anih loe Gilgal vangpui taeng ih thlung lakhaih ahmuen phak naah, amlaem let moe, Aw siangpahrang, nang khaeah tamqulok thuih han ka tawnh, tiah a naa. Siangpahrang mah, To lok to thui hmah raeh! tiah a naa. To naah a taengah kaom kaminawk boih to tasa bangah tacawt o king.
20 And Ehud came in unto him; and he was sitting in the summer upper chamber, which was for himself alone. And Ehud said, I have a word of God unto thee. And he arose out of his chair.
Siangpahrang loe ni nat naah anghnuthaih ahmuen ah angmah bueng anghnut. Ehud mah anih khaeah, Sithaw khae ih lok nang han kang sinh, tiah a naa. Siangpahrang loe anghnuthaih ahmuen hoiah angthawk tahang.
21 And Ehud stretched forth his left hand, and took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his body.
To naah Ehud mah, A banqoi ban hoiah a bantang phaih pongah angnaeng ih sumsen to aphongh moe, siangpahrang to zok ah a thunh.
22 And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade; for he did not draw the sword out of his body, and it passed into the fundament.
Sumsen toeng akun boih khoek to a thunh, ahnuk bang khoek to sumsen to pra; a thawk mah padap khoep pongah, sumsen to aphong thai ai.
23 And Ehud went forth into the ante-room, and shut the doors of the upper chamber after him, and locked them.
To pacoengah Ehud loe imhmaa bangah caeh moe, thok khah khoep pacoengah, cabi takraeng thuih caeng.
24 He was just gone out, when his servants came; and they saw, behold, the doors of the upper chamber were locked; and they said, Surely he covereth his feet in the summer chamber.
Anih caeh pacoengah, a tamnanawk angzoh o; toe thok khah khoep moe, takraeng ih thok to hnuk o naah, siangpahrang loe ni nat naah angsonghaih ahmuen ah anghak kalang mue, tiah thuih o.
25 And they tarried till they were ashamed; and behold, he opened not the doors of the upper chamber; wherefore they took the key and opened them: and, behold, their lord was lying dead on the floor.
Nihcae loe azatpaw khoek to zing o, anih mah thok paong ai naah loe, cabi to a lak o moe, thok to paong o; khenah, nihcae ih angraeng loe long ah duek sut.
26 And Ehud had escaped while they were tarrying, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Se'irah.
Nihcae mah zing o nathung ah Ehud loe loih ving boeh; thlung lakhaih ahmuen ah caeh moe, Seirah avang bang hoiah a loih ving.
27 And it came to pass, when he was come, that he blew the cornet on the mountain of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the mountain, and he before them.
To ahmuen to a phak naah, Ephraim mae nui hoiah mongkah to a uengh; Israel kaminawk loe anih hoi nawnto mae nui hoiah anghumh o tathuk, anih mah nihcae to caeh haih.
28 And he said unto them, Pursue after me; for the Lord hath delivered your enemies, the Moabites, into your hand. And they went down after him, and seized on the fords of the Jordan toward Moab, and suffered not a man to pass over.
Ka hnukah bang oh; Angraeng mah na misa Moab kaminawk to nangcae ban ah paek boeh, tiah a naa. To pongah kaminawk loe anih hnukah bang o tathuk moe, Moab prae caehhaih Jordan vapui yaeh ah caeh o, mi kawbaktih doeh vapui angkatsak ai.
29 And they smote of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all lusty, and all men of valor; and there escaped not a man.
To nathuem ah thacak Moab misatuh kami sang hato a hum o; kami maeto doeh loih o ai.
30 And Moab was humbled that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest eighty years.
To na niah Moab kaminawk loe Israel kaminawk khaeah angpaek o. To nathuem hoi kamtong saning quitazetto thung prae thungah monghaih to oh.
31 And after him was Shamgar the son of 'Anath, who smote of the philistines six hundred men with an ox-goad; and he also delivered Israel.
Ehud pacoengah, Anath capa Shamgar mah doeh, Philistin kami cumvai tarukto tayae toeng hoiah hum; anih mah doeh Israel kaminawk to pahlong.
