Judges 3
1 Now, these, are the nations which Yahweh left, that he might, by them, put Israel to the proof, —all who had not known any of the wars of Canaan;
Ke ma inge LEUM GOD El fuhlela tuh kutu mutunfacl in mutana in facl sac in srike mwet Israel su tia wi pulakin mweun in acn Canaan.
2 that the generations of the sons of Israel might certainly get to know, by being taught to make war, —such, at least, as aforetime knew nothing thereof: —
El oru ouinge ke sripa sefanna, in luti kais sie fwil lun mwet Israel ke ouiyen mweun, ac yokna nu selos su soenna wi mweun.
3 five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Zidonians, and the Hivites dwelling in Mount Lebanon, —from Mount Baal-hermon as far as the entering in of Hamath.
Mwet lula in acn we pa leum limekosr lun mwet Philistia, oayapa mwet Canaan ac mwet Sidon ac mwet Hiv su muta fineol uh in acn Lebanon, liki Fineol Baal Hermon lac nwe ke Innek In Utyak Nu Hamath.
4 So then [these] were [left], that, by them, he might put Israel to the proof, —to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of Yahweh which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
Ma inge orek nu sin mwet Israel in srikalos lah elos ac akos ma LEUM GOD El tuh sapkin nu sin mwet matu lalos ah, in pacl lal Moses.
5 And thus, the sons of Israel, dwelt in the midst of the Canaanites, —the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites;
Na mwet Israel elos oakwuki muta inmasrlon mwet Canaan, mwet Hit, mwet Amor, mwet Hiv, mwet Periz, ac mwet Jebus.
6 and took their daughters to be their wives, their own daughters moreover, gave they unto their sons, and they served their gods.
Mwet Israel elos payuk nu sin mwet inge ac alu nu sin god lalos.
7 Thus did the sons of Israel the thing that was wicked in the sight of Yahweh, and forgat Yahweh their God, —and served the Baals and the Asherahs.
Mwet Israel elos mulkunla LEUM GOD lalos. Elos orekma koluk ye mutal ac alu nu ke ma sruloala lal Baal ac Asherah.
8 Then kindled the anger of Yahweh upon Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushan-rishathaim, king of Mesopotamia, —and the sons of Israel served Chushan-rishathaim, eight years.
Ke ma inge, LEUM GOD El mutawauk in kasrkusrak sin mwet Israel, ac El lela tuh Tokosra Cushan Rishathaim lun acn Mesopotamia elan kutangulosla. Mwet Israel elos orekma nu sel yac oalkosr.
9 And the sons of Israel made outcry unto Yahweh, so Yahweh raised up a saviour unto the sons of Israel, who saved them, —even Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother.
Na mwet Israel elos wowoyak nu sin LEUM GOD, ac el supwala sie mwet in aksukosokyalos. Mwet se inge pa Othniel wen natul Kenaz, su tamulel srik lal Caleb.
10 And the Spirit of Yahweh came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war, and Yahweh delivered into his hand, Chushan-rishathaim, king of Syria, —and his hand prevailed over Chushan-rishathaim.
Ngun lun LEUM GOD tuku nu fin mwet se inge, ac el mutawauk in kol mwet Israel. Ke Othniel el som mweun, LEUM GOD El sang kutangla nu sel fin tokosra lun mwet Mesopotamia.
11 And the land had rest forty years, —and Othniel son of Kenaz, died.
Oasr misla in facl Israel ke lusen yac angngaul, na Othniel el misa.
12 And the sons of Israel again did the thing that was wicked, in the sight of Yahweh, —and Yahweh emboldened Eglon, king of Moab, against Israel, because they did the thing that was wicked in the sight of Yahweh;
Mwet Israel elos sifilpa orekma koluk ye mutun LEUM GOD. Ke sripa se inge, LEUM GOD El oru tuh Tokosra Eglon lun Moab in ku liki mwet Israel.
13 and he gathered unto him, the sons of Ammon, and Amalek, —and came and smote Israel, and took possession of the city of palm-trees.
Tokosra Eglon el wi mwet Ammon ac mwet Amalek lain mwet Israel ac kutangulosla. Elos sruokya acn Jericho, su siti in sak palm.
14 So the sons of Israel served Eglon king of Moab, eighteen years.
Mwet Israel elos orekma nu sel Tokosra Eglon yac singoul oalkosr.
15 And the sons of Israel made outcry unto Yahweh, and Yahweh raised up unto them a saviour, Ehud son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man left-handed, —and the sons of Israel sent, by his hand, a present, unto Eglon king of Moab.
Na mwet Israel elos sifil wowoyak nu sin LEUM GOD, na El sifil supwala mwet se in molelosla. Mwet se inge pa Ehud, sie mwet lasa, wen natul Gera ke sruf lal Benjamin. Mwet Israel elos supwalla Ehud nu yorol Tokosra Eglon lun Moab, wi mwe takma nu sel.
16 So Ehud made himself a sword which had two edges, a cubit in length, —and girded it under his raiment, upon his right thigh.
Ehud el tuh sifacna orala cutlass se natul, fit se tafu lusa ac kosroh lac lac, ac el losya fin pupal layen layot ye nuknuk lal uh.
17 So he offered the present unto Eglon, king of Moab, —now, Eglon, was an exceedingly fat man.
Na el us mwe takma ac som nu yorol Tokosra Eglon, su sie mwet na fact.
18 And so it was, when he had made an end of offering the present, that he sent away the people who had been bearing the present;
Ke Ehud el sang mwe takma nu sel Tokosra Eglon tari, na el fahk nu sin mwet ma us ma inge ah in folokla nu acn selos.
19 but, he himself, turned back from the images that were by Gilgal, and said, A secret word, have I, unto thee, O king! And he said—Silence! Thereupon went out from his presence all who had been standing near him.
Ac Ehud el welulos, na ke elos sun eot tufahlla ekasr apkuran nu Gilgal, Ehud mukena el forla folok nu yorol Eglon ac fahk, “O Tokosra, oasr sie kas lukma nga ke fahk nu sum.” Na tokosra sac fahk nu sin mwet kulansap lal, “Kowos illa!” Na mwet lal inge kewa tufoki.
20 And, Ehud, came in unto him, he, having been sitting in a summer parlour, which he had for himself, alone, and Ehud said, A divine word, have I, unto thee. So he arose from off his seat.
Ke tokosra sac mukena muta ke infukil oyohu se fin lohm sel ah, Ehud el kalukyang nu yorol ac fahk, “Oasr kas sin God me yuruk in fahk nu sum.” Na tokosra el tuyak.
21 And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the sword from off his right thigh, —and thrust it into his body;
Ehud el faisak cutlass natul ah ke lac paol lasa liki pupal layot, ac kaskeang nu insien tokosra.
22 and, the handle also, went in after the blade, and the flesh closed upon the blade, for he withdrew not the sword out of his body, —and he came out into the ante-chamber.
Cutlass sac wi fung ah tilyang nu insial tokosra, ac kiris uh nokomla nufon. Ehud el tiana faesla cutlass sac lukel, ac mutun cutlass sac sasla fonohl.
23 And, when Ehud came out into the porch, he closed the doors of the parlour upon him, and bolted them.
Na Ehud el tufokla nu lik ac kaliya srungul uh ac lakiya,
24 When, he, had come out, his servants, went in, and looked, and lo! the doors of the parlour were bolted, —so they said, Surely he covereth his feet, in the summer chamber.
na el som. Ke mwet kulansap elos tuku ac liye tuh srungul uh kaul ac lak, elos nunku mu tokosra el oasr na in lohm fahsr ah.
25 But, though they tarried a long time, yet lo! he opened not the doors of the parlour, —so they took the key, and opened [them], when lo! their lord, fallen to the ground dead.
Mwet inge mutana soano nwe arulana pahtlac. Na ke tokosra sac tiana ikasla srungul uh, elos use key uh sang ikasla, ac elos liye tuh leum lalos el misa oan fin falful uh.
26 But, Ehud, escaped while they delayed, —yea, he, passed the images, and escaped into Seirah.
Ehud el kaingla ke pacl se mwet inge srakna muta soano in ikakla. El som alukela eot tufahlla ekasr ah, ac kaingla nu Seirah.
27 And so it was, when he came, that he blew with a horn, throughout the hill country of Ephraim, —and the sons of Israel came down with him, out of the hill country, he, being before them.
Ke el sun fineol uh in facl Ephraim, el ukya mwe ukuk in pangoneni mwet Israel nu ke mweun. El kololos ac tufoki fineol uh me.
28 And he said unto them—Come down after me, for Yahweh hath delivered your enemies, the Moabites, into your hand. So they came down after him, and captured the fords of the Jordan, towards Moab, and suffered not a man to pass over.
El fahk nu selos, “Fahsr tukuk! LEUM GOD El sot kutangla nu suwos fin mwet lokoalok lowos, mwet Moab.” Na elos tufoki ac fahsr tokol Ehud, ac elos sruokya acn se ma mwet Moab elos muta we ac akola in tupalla Infacl Jordan. Elos tia lela siefanna mwet in alukela infacl ah.
29 And they smote of Moab, at that time, about ten thousand men, every one a mighty man, and every one a man of valour, —and, there escaped not a man.
Pisen mwet elos uniya ke len sac sun akuran singoul tausin mwet mweun su ku emeet lun mwet Moab. Wangin sie selos kaingla.
30 And Moab was subdued on that day, under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest eighty years, and Ehud judged them until his death.
In len sac mwet Israel kutangla mwet Moab, ac oasr misla in facl Israel ke lusen yac oalngoul.
31 And, after him, was Shamgar, son of Anath, who smote of the Philistines, six hundred men, with an ox-goad, —and, he also, saved Israel.
Mwet kol se tok an pa Shamgar, wen natul Anath. El wi pac molela mwet Israel, ke el sang sak kosroh muta soko mwe lillil kosro ox, ac uniya mwet Philistia onfoko.
