Judges 3
1 And these [are] the nations which YHWH left, to try Israel by them, all who have not known all the wars of Canaan;
Magi e oganda mane Jehova Nyasaye oweyo mondo otem jo-Israel duto mane ok osekalo e lweny moro amora e piny Kanaan.
2 (only for the sake of the generations of the sons of Israel knowing, to teach them war, only those who formerly have not known them)—
Mano notimo mana mondo opuonjgo nyikwa jo-Israel lweny, mago mane onge gi lony e kedo.
3 five princes of the Philistines, and all the Canaanite, and the Zidonian, and the Hivite inhabiting Mount Lebanon, from Mount Ba‘al-Hermon to the entering in of Hamath;
Ogendinigo ne gin: ruodhi abich mag jo-Filistia, jo-Kanaan duto, jo-Sidon, kod jo-Hivi mane odak e gode mag Lebanon kochakore got Baal Hermon nyaka got Lebo Hamath.
4 and they are to prove Israel by them, to know whether they obey the commands of YHWH that He commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
Jehova Nyasaye nowegi mondo otemgo jo-Israel kendo ongʼego ka ginyalo rito chike mane omiyo kweregi kokalo kuom Musa.
5 And the sons of Israel have dwelt in the midst of the Canaanite, the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite,
Jo-Israel nodak e kind jo-Kanaan, jo-Hiti, jo-Amor, jo-Perizi, jo-Hivi kod jo-Jebus.
6 and take their daughters to them for wives, and have given their daughters to their sons, and they serve their gods;
Negikendo nyi ogendinigo bangʼe negichiwo nyigi mondo okend gi yawuot pinjego kendo negilamo nyisechegi.
7 and the sons of Israel do evil in the eyes of YHWH, and forget their God YHWH, and serve the Ba‘alim and the Asheroth.
Jo-Israel notimo tim mamono e wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye; ne wigi owil gi Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachgi mi gitiyone Baal kod Ashera.
8 And the anger of YHWH burns against Israel, and He sells them into the hand of Chushan-Rishathaim king of Aram-Naharaim, and the sons of Israel serve Chushan-Rishathaim eight years;
Mirimb Jehova Nyasaye mager nobiro kuom jo-Israel ma nojwangʼogi e lwet jo-Kushan-Rishathaim ruodh Aram-Naharaim, ma jo-Israel nobedo wasumbinigi kuom higni aboro.
9 and the sons of Israel cry to YHWH, and YHWH raises a savior to the sons of Israel, and he saves them—Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother;
To kane giywakne Jehova Nyasaye, nochiwonegi jakony, ma en Othniel wuod Kenaz, owadgi Kaleb matin, mane oresogi.
10 and the Spirit of YHWH is on him, and he judges Israel, and goes out to battle, and YHWH gives Chushan-Rishathaim king of Aram into his hand, and his hand is strong against Chushan-Rishathaim;
Roho mar Jehova Nyasaye nobiro kuome, mi nobedo jangʼad bura mar jo-Israel kendo negidhi e lweny. Jehova Nyasaye nochiwo Kushan-Rishathaim ruodh Aram e lwet Othniel, mane oloye.
11 and the land rests forty years. And Othniel son of Kenaz dies,
Omiyo piny nobedo gi kwe kuom higni piero angʼwen; nyaka Othniel wuod Kenaz notho.
12 and the sons of Israel add to do evil in the eyes of YHWH; and YHWH strengthens Eglon king of Moab against Israel, because that they have done evil in the eyes of YHWH;
Jo-Israel nochako timo timbe mamono e wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye, kendo nikech timno, Jehova Nyasaye nochiwogi e lwet Eglon ruodh Moab.
13 and he gathers the sons of Ammon and Amalek to himself, and goes and strikes Israel, and they possess the city of palms;
Eglon kaachiel gi jo-Amon kod jo-Amalek, nobiro momonjo jo-Israel, mi gikawo Dala Maduongʼ mar Jeriko.
14 and the sons of Israel serve Eglon king of Moab eighteen years.
Jo-Israel nobedo e bwo loch Eglon ruodh Moab kuom higni apar gaboro.
15 And the sons of Israel cry to YHWH, and YHWH raises a savior to them, Ehud son of Gera, a Benjamite (a man [with] his right hand bound), and the sons of Israel send a present by his hand to Eglon king of Moab;
Jo-Israel nochako oywak ne Jehova Nyasaye mi nomiyogi jakony, Ehud, wuod Gera ja-Benjamin, mane racham. Jo-Israel noore gi chudo ir Eglon ruodh Moab.
16 and Ehud makes a sword for himself, and it has two mouths (its length [is] a cubit), and he girds it under his long robe on his right thigh;
Ehud nothedho pand ligangla ma dhoge ariyo ma borne dirom fut achiel gi nus, mane oliere e bamne korachwich ei lepe.
17 and he brings the present near to Eglon king of Moab, and Eglon [is] a very fat man.
Ne ochiwo chudo ne Eglon ruodh Moab, mane ngʼat machwe ahinya.
18 And it comes to pass, when he has finished to bring the present near, that he sends the people carrying the present away,
Bangʼ ka Ehud nosechiwo chudo, nooro jogo mane okelo chudo mondo odogi.
19 and he himself has turned back from the carved images which [are] at Gilgal and says, “I have a secret word for you, O king”; and he says, “Hush!” And all those standing by him go out from him.
Kane oneno gigo mopa man Gilgal ne olokore en owuon kendo owacho niya, “An kodi gi wach ma lingʼ-lingʼ, yaye ruoth.” Ruoth nowacho niya, “Lingʼ thi!” Kendo joge duto mantie noa moweye.
20 And Ehud has come to him, and he is sitting in the cool upper chamber which he has for himself, and Ehud says, “I have a word of God for you”; and he rises from off the throne;
Eka Ehud nosudo ire kama nobetie kende e agola ma malo mar ode mar yweyo, mane ojabetie ndalo oro mi owacho niya, “Nyasaye oora iri.” Ka Ruoth noa malo e kome,
21 and Ehud puts forth his left hand, and takes the sword from off his right thigh, and thrusts it into his belly;
Ehud norieyo bade koracham, mi owuodho ligangla koa e bamne korachwich kendo ochwoyo ii ruoth.
22 and the hilt also goes in after the blade, and the fat shuts on the blade, that he has not drawn the sword out of his belly, and he goes out [through] the antechamber [[or and the dung came out]].
Ligangla nodonjo e iye molal kuno gi loge duto motuch nyaka e dier ngʼeye oko. Ehud ne ok opudho liganglano oko, kendo bor noume.
23 And Ehud goes out at the porch, and shuts the doors of the upper chamber on him, and has bolted [it];
Eka Ehud nowuok gie otuchi manie wi tado; nochiego dhoudi manie agola mamalo mi olorogi.
24 and he has gone out, and his servants have come in, and look, and behold, the doors of the upper chamber are bolted, and they say, “He is surely covering his feet, [relieving himself, ] in the cool inner chamber.”
Bangʼ kane osedhi, jotich nobiro kendo oyudo ka dhoudi manie agola mamalo olor. Negiwacho niya, “Nyaka bed ni okonyore e agola ma iye mar ot.”
25 And they stay until confounded, and behold, he is not opening the doors of the upper chamber, and they take the key, and open, and behold, their lord is fallen to the earth—dead.
Negirito ma wigi okuot, to kane ok oyawo dhout agola, negikawo kifungu kendo giyawogi. Kanyo negineno ruodhgi koriere e dier ot, kosetho.
26 And Ehud escaped during their lingering, and has passed by the images, and escapes to Seirath.
Kane pod girito, Ehud noluchore mi owuok odhi. Ne okalo machiegni gi gik mopa mi opondo odhi Seira.
27 And it comes to pass, in his coming in, that he blows with a horn in the hill-country of Ephraim, and the sons of Israel go down with him from the hill-country, and he before them;
Kane ochopo kanyo, nogoyo turumbete e piny gode mag Efraim, kendo jo-Israel nolor kode piny koa e got, ka otelonegi.
28 and he says to them, “Pursue after me, for YHWH has given your enemies, the Moabites, into your hand”; and they go down after him, and capture the passages of the Jordan toward Moab, and have not permitted a man to pass over.
Nowachonegi niya, “Luwauru, nimar Jehova Nyasaye osechiwo Moab, jasiku, e lwetu.” Omiyo ne giluwe kendo negikawo bath aora Jordan mane ochiko yo Moab, maonge ngʼama ne nyalo pondo mondo okadh aora Jordan.
29 And they strike Moab at that time, about ten thousand men, all robust, and everyone a man of valor, and no man has escaped,
E sechego neginego jo-Moab madirom alufu apar, jogo mongirore kendo maroteke; maonge ngʼama nopondo kata achiel.
30 and Moab is humbled in that day under the hand of Israel; and the land rests [for] eighty years.
Chiengʼno Moab nobedo e bwo loch Israel, kendo piny nobedo gi kwe kuom higni piero aboro.
31 And after him has been Shamgar son of Anath, and he strikes the Philistines—six hundred men—with an ox-goad, and he also saves Israel.
Bangʼ Ehud, Shamgar wuod Anath nobiro, en ema ne onego jo-Filistia mia auchiel gi bidhi. En bende noreso jo-Israel.
