< 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;
Hiche nam hohi Canaan mite kisatna–a anapang khalou, Israelte patepna dinga Pakaiyin gamsunga anadalhah hochu ahi.
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;
Aman hiche hi galsatji hekhalou lai Israel khangthah ho galsatje akithem chuhna diuva abol ahi.
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.
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 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.
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 in the midst of the Canaanites, the Hittites, and the Emorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the 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 themselves for wives, and their daughters they gave to their sons; and they 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 [thus] the evil in the eyes of the Lord, and forgot the Lord their God, and served the Be'alim 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 then died 'Othniel the son of Kenaz.
Hijeh chun kum somli gamsunga chamna ana umm in, chujouvin Kenaz chapa Othniel chu ana thitan ahi.
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.
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 they went and smote Israel, and took possession of 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 And 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 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.
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 himself a sword which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he girded it under his garments 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 near unto 'Eglon the king of Moab; now 'Eglon was a very fat man.
Aman mithaotah Eglon koma chun kai-pehding sum chu ahin pon ahung in ahi.
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.
Athilpeh chu apehchai phat in Ehud chu ache khompi cheng chutoh inlang cheding in ahung kipat doh tauvin ahi.
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.
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 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.
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 stretched forth his left hand, and took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his body.
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; for he did not draw the sword out of his body, and it passed into the fundament.
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 And Ehud went forth into the ante-room, and shut the doors of the upper chamber after him, and locked them.
Hiche jouchun Ehud’in hiche indan kot hochu akamsoh keiyin kanglong aheh khum in, ehbuh langa achomlhan ajamdoh tai.
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.
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 upper chamber; wherefore they took the key and opened them: and, behold, their lord was lying dead on the floor.
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 had escaped while they were tarrying, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Se'irah.
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 the cornet on the mountain of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the mountain, 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, 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.
“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 smote of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all lusty, and all men of valor; 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 And Moab was humbled that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest eighty 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, who smote 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.
