Judges 7
1 Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people who were with him, rose up early, and camped beside the spring of Harod. And the camp of Midian was on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley.
Hottelah Jerubbaal (ahni teh Gideon doeh) hoi ahni koe kaawm e tamihu pueng hah amom vah a thaw awh teh, Harod tuikhu teng vah a roe awh. Hottelah Midiannaw roenae teh a onae atunglah Moreh mon teng, tanghling dawk doeh.
2 YHWH said to Gideon, "The people who are with you are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, 'My own hand has saved me.'
BAWIPA ni Gideon koe ahnimae kut dawk Midiannaw pek nahanelah nang koe kaawm e naw teh kai hanelah ekvoi apap awh. Hoehpawiteh, Isarel ni kamamae kut roeroe ni ka rungngang awh e doeh ti hoi, kai na taran awh vaiteh, a kâoup payon awh han doeh.
3 Now therefore proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, 'Whoever is fearful and trembling, let him return and depart from Mount Gilead.' There returned of the people twenty-two thousand; but ten thousand remained.
Hatdawkvah, atu tamimaya thai nah koe, ka taket ni teh ka pâyaw e pueng Gilead mon koehoi tang ban awh naseh telah na dei pouh han telah ati. Hottelah tamimaya thung hoi tami 22, 000 touh a ban awh teh, 10,000 touh a cawi awh.
4 YHWH said to Gideon, "The people are yet too many; bring them down to the water, and I will try them for you there: and it shall be, that of whom I tell you, This shall go with you, the same shall go with you; and of whoever I tell you, This shall not go with you, the same shall not go.
Hatei, BAWIPA ni Gideon koevah, tami apap poung rah. Tui koe cetkhai nateh haw vah ka tanouk han. Hat toteh, hete tami heh nang koe cet naseh ka tie teh, nang koe cet naseh, hahoi hete tami teh nang koe cet han naseh ka tie teh cet han naseh.
5 So he brought down the people to the water. And YHWH said to Gideon, "Everyone who laps of the water with his tongue, as a dog laps, you shall put to one side; and everyone who gets down on his knees to drink with hand to mouth shall be on the other side."
Hottelah tamimaya teh tui koe a ceicathuk khai. Hat toteh, BAWIPA ni Gideon koe, ui patetlah a lai hoi tui ka palem e pueng hah na kapek han, hot patetvanlah tabut laihoi tui ka sarawp e pueng hai na kapek han, telah atipouh.
6 The number of those who lapped with their tongues was three hundred men, but all the rest of the people got down on their knees to drink water.
A kuttabei hoi tui ka duek ni teh ka palem tami 300 touh a pha. Hatei, tami alouk pueng teh khokpakhu cuengkhuem laihoi tui ka sarawp e seng doeh.
7 YHWH said to Gideon, "By the three hundred men who lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into your hand; and let all the people go every man to his home."
BAWIPA ni Gideon koevah, palem lah ka palem e tami 300 touh hno lahoi na rungngang awh vaiteh, Midiannaw hah nangmae kut dawk na poe awh han. Tami alouk pueng teh amamae onae koe koung ban awh naseh, telah atipouh.
8 So the people took food in their hand, and their trumpets; and he sent all the men of Israel every man to his tent, but retained the three hundred men. And the camp of Midian was beneath him in the valley.
Hottelah, tami pueng ni a ca awh hane hoi mongka hah a la awh teh, kacawi e Isarelnaw pueng teh amamae rim koe a ban sak awh teh, tami 300 touh a kamcin sak awh. Midiannaw roenae teh akalah doeh.
9 It happened the same night, that YHWH said to him, "Arise, get down into the camp; for I have delivered it into your hand.
Hatnae tangmin vah, BAWIPA ni ahni koe, thaw nateh ahnimouh roenae koe cathuk sin haw, na kut dawk na poe toe.
10 But if you fear to go down, go with Purah your servant down to the camp:
Hatei, cathuk sin hane na taket pawiteh, na san Purah hoi rim koe cathuk roi haw.
11 and you shall hear what they say; and afterward will your hands be strengthened to go down into the camp." Then he went down with Purah his servant to the outermost part of the armed men who were in the camp.
A dei awh e na thai vaiteh, hat hnukkhu ahnimae roenae taran lahoi cei hanelah na kut hah thaosak lah ao han, telah ati. Hattoteh a san Purah hoi roenae hmuen karingkungnaw onae koe a takhang roi.
12 And Midian, Amalek, and all the Kedemites lay along in the valley as numerous as locusts; and their camels were without number, as numerous as the sand which is on the seashore.
Hahoi Midiannaw hoi Amaleknaw hoi Kanîtholae taminaw pueng teh tanghling dawk samtongnaw patetlah numnum a kâlî awh. Ahnie kalauknaw teh boeba touk thai hoeh, tuipui teng e sadi patetlah doeh a o.
13 When Gideon had come, look, there was a man telling a dream to his friend; and he said, "Look, I had a dream, and look, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian, and came to the tent, and struck it so that it fell, and turned it upside down, so that the tent collapsed."
Hatteh, Gideon a tho toteh tami buet touh ni a hui koe a mang hah a rui pouh, thaihaw! mang ka tawn. barli vaiyei phen heh Midiannaw tungpupnae koe a kamlei teh, tungpupnae rimnaw bungling lah a rawp nahane lah reprep a ten pouh, telah a ti.
14 His friend answered, "This is nothing less than the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel. Into his hand God has delivered Midian, and all the army."
A hui ni, hothateh Isarel tami Joash capa e tahloi laipalah alouk mahoeh. Cathut ni Midiannaw hoi a rimnaw pueng teh a kut dawk a poe toe tinae doeh, telah a ti.
15 It was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and its interpretation, that he worshiped, and he returned into the camp of Israel, and said, "Get up, for YHWH has delivered into your hand the army of Midian."
Hahoi, Gideon ni mang hoi a deicainae a thai toteh, Cathut hah a bawk. Isarel roenae hmuen koe a ban teh, thaw awh haw, bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni Midiannaw roenae hmuen teh nangmae kut dawk a poe toe, telah a ti.
16 He divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put into the hands of all of them trumpets, and empty pitchers, with torches within the pitchers.
Hote tami 300 touh e hah hu thum touh lah a kapek teh, ahnimae kut dawk mongka hoi hlaam hrawng hoi a thung vah hmaito khue hoi rip a poe.
17 He said to them, "Look at me, and do likewise. And look, when I come to the outermost part of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so you shall do.
Ahnimouh ni ahni koe, na khen awh nateh ka sak e patetlah na sak awh van han. Hahoi khenhaw! roenae hmuen koe ka pha toteh, ka sak e patetlah ruengrueng na sak awh han.
18 When I blow the trumpet, I and all who are with me, then you blow the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, "For YHWH and for Gideon."
Kai hoi kai koe kaawm e pueng ni mongka ka ueng awh toteh roenae rim petkâkalup lah kaawm e pueng ni lengkaleng na ueng van awh vaiteh, BAWIPA hoi Gideon e tahloi, na ti awh han.
19 So Gideon and the hundred men who were with him came to the outermost part of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch, when they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and broke in pieces the pitchers that were in their hands.
Hottelah Gideon hoi ama koe kaawm e tami 100 touh teh karum ramvengnaw nuengnueng a kâhleng awh nah kalekkalak vah, roenae rim koe a pha awh. Hahoi mongka a ueng awh teh a kut dawk e hlaam hah lengkaleng rek a hem awh.
20 The three companies blew the trumpets, and broke the pitchers, and held the torches in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands with which to blow; and they called out, "The sword of YHWH and of Gideon.'"
Avoi lahoi hmaito a sin awh teh arang lahoi ueng hane mongka a sin awh teh, BAWIPA hoi Gideon e tahloi, telah a târue awh.
21 They each stood in his place every man around the camp; and all the army ran; and they shouted, and put them to flight.
Roenae rim petkâkalup lah kaawm awh e tami pueng ni amamouh onae lengkaleng koe a kangdue awh teh ransanaw pueng teh a yawng laihoi a kangheng awh.
22 They blew the three hundred trumpets, and YHWH set every man's sword against each other throughout the camp; and the army fled as far as Beth Shittah toward Zererah, as far as the border of Abel Meholah, by Tabbath.
Hahoi 300 touh ni mongka a ueng awh torei teh, BAWIPA ni a roenae hmuen koe amamouh hoi amamouh tahloi hoi a kâbouk sak teh, ransanaw hah Zererah koelae Beth-shittah, Tabbath teng e Abel-meholah ramri totouh a kangheng awh.
23 The men of Israel were gathered together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after Midian.
Isarelnaw teh hmuen touh koe Naphtali, Asher, hoi Manasseh pueng ni a kamkhueng awh teh Midiannaw hah a pâlei awh.
24 Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill country of Ephraim, saying, "Come down against Midian, and capture the waters, as far as Beth Barah, even the Jordan." So all the men of Ephraim were gathered together, and seized the waters as far as Beth Barah, even the Jordan.
Hottelah Gideon ni Ephraim mon pueng koe patounenaw a patoun teh, Midiannaw tuk hanelah cathuk awh nateh, Beth-barah hoi Jordan totouh tui a onae hah sut pawm awh, telah ati. Hottelah Ephraimnaw pueng teh a kamkhueng awh teh Beth-barah hoi Jordan totouh koung a la awh.
25 They took the two princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb; and they killed Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and Zeeb they killed at the winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian. Then they brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon beyond the Jordan.
Hahoi Midian ransabawi kahni touh Oreb hoi Zeeb hah a man awh. Oreb teh Oreb lungsong koe a thei awh teh, Zeeb teh Zeeb misur katinnae tangkom dawk a thei awh. Midiannaw hah a pâlei awh teh, Oreb hoi Zeeb e lû teh Jordan palang namran lah Gideon koe a poe awh.
