Judges 3
1 At that time there were still many people-groups in Canaan. Yahweh left them there to test the Israeli people. But many of the Israelis in Canaan were ones who had not fought in any of the wars in Canaan. So Yahweh also left those people-groups in Canaan so that the descendants of those who had not fought in any of the wars might learn how to fight.
Amaiba: le, Isala: ili dunu amo da Ga: ina: ne soge ganodini gegesu hame ba: i, amo dunu adoba: ma: ne, Hina Gode da Ga: ina: ne fi mogili gadili hame sefasi.
E da Isala: ili fi gaheabolo amo da gegesu hame ba: i ilima gegesu hou olelema: ne, amo fi gadili hame sefasi.
3 [This is a list of] the people-groups that Yahweh left there: The Philistines and their five leaders, the people living in the area near Sidon [city], the descendants of Canaan, and the descendants of Hiv who were living in the mountains of Lebanon between Baal-Hermon Mountain and Lebo-Hamath.
Ga: ina: ne soge fi da soge amoga esalebe ba: i, da haguduga dedei diala. Filisidini moilai bai bagade biyale gala, Ga: ina: ne dunu huluane, Saidonia dunu amola Haifaide dunu (ilia soge alalo da Ba: ile Hemone Goumi asili Ha: ima: de Goumi ahoasu doaga: i. Amo soge da Lebanone Goumi soge)
4 Yahweh left these people-groups there to test the Israelis, to see if they would obey his commands which he had told Moses to give them.
Hina Gode da amo dunu fi ilia Isala: ili dunu ilima adoba: ma: ne, Isala: ili soge ganodini yolesi. Isala: ili dunu ilia da sema amo Hina Gode da Mousesema i, amola e da ilia aowalali ilima alofele olelei, amo ilia fa: no bobogema: beyale adoba: musa: yolesi.
5 The Israelis lived among the Canaan people-group, the Hiv people-group, the Amor people-group, the Periz people-group, the Hiv people-group, and the Jebus people-group.
Amaiba: le, Isala: ili dunu da dunu fi eno amo Ga: ina: ne, Hidaide, A:moulaide, Belesaide, Haifaide amola Yebiusaide amo gilisili fi galu.
6 [Moses had told the people not to associate with any of those people]. But the Israelis took daughters of people from those people-groups [to be their own wives], and gave their own daughters to men of those groups, to marry them. And [as a result] they started to worship the gods of those people-groups.
Ilia da gilisili uda lasu hou hamosu amola amo dunu ilia ‘gode’ liligi ilima nodone sia: ne gadosu.
7 The Israelis did things that Yahweh said were very evil. They forgot about Yahweh, their God, and they started to worship [the idols that represented] the god Baal and the goddess Asherah.
Isala: ili dunu da ilia Hina Gode gogolei. Ilia da wadela: le hamosu amola ilia ogogosu ‘gode’ loboga hamoi liligi amo Ba: ile amola Asila, amoma nodone sia: ne gadosu.
8 Yahweh became very angry with the Israelis. So he allowed king Cushan from Mesopotamia to conquer them and rule them for eight years.
Amaiba: le, Hina Gode da Isala: ili fi ilia hou ba: beba: le, ougi bagade ba: i. E da Gusia: ne Lisada: ime (Mesoubouda: imia hina bagade) ili hasalasima: ne, amo ea logo doasi dagoi. E da Isala: ili dunuma ode godoane amoga hina bagade esalu.
9 But when they pleaded to Yahweh [to help them], he gave them a leader to rescue them. He was Othniel, the son of Caleb’s younger brother Kenaz.
Amalalu, Isala: ili dunu da Hina Godema dinanuwane wele sia: beba: le, E da gaga: su dunu ilima asunasi. Amo da Odeniele, Ga: ilebe eya Ginase egefe.
10 Yahweh’s Spirit came upon him, and he became their leader. He [led an army that] fought against [the army of] Cushan, and defeated them.
Hina Gode Ea A: silibu Hadigidafa Gala da ea dogo ganodini aligila sa: ili, e da Isala: ili bisisu dunu hamoi. Odeniele da gegemusa: asili, amola Hina Gode da fidibiba: le, e da Mesoubouda: imia hina bagade amo hasalasili, sefasi.
11 After that, there was peace in the land for 40 years, until Othniel died.
Isala: ili soge da ode40amoga, olofosu ba: i dagoi. Amalalu, Odeniele da bogoi.
12 After that, the Israelis again did things that Yahweh said were very evil. As a result, he allowed the army of King Eglon, who ruled [the] Moab [area], to defeat the Israelis.
Isala: ili dunu da bu eno Hina Godema wadela: le hamoi. Amaiba: le, Hina Gode da Moua: be hina bagade ea dio amo Egelone amo fidibiba: le, ea gasa da Isala: ili fi ilia gasa baligi dagoi.
13 Eglon persuaded the leaders of the Ammon and Amalek people-groups to join their armies with his army to attack Israel. They captured [Jericho, which was called] ‘The City of Palm Trees’.
Egelone da A: mounaide dunu amola A: malege dunu gilisili, Isala: ili fi hasalasi. Ilia da Yeligou moilai bai bagade (amo ganodini gumudi sala agoai bagohame ba: i) amo suguli lai dagoi.
14 Then King Eglon ruled the Israelis for eighteen years.
Egelone da Isala: ili dunu ilima ode 18amoga ouligisu esalu.
15 But then the Israelis again pleaded to Yahweh [to help them]. So he gave them another leader to rescue them. He was Ehud, a left-handed man, the son of Gera, from the descendants of Benjamin. The Israelis sent him to King Eglon to give him their yearly protection money.
Amalalu, Isala: ili dunu da dinanuwane, Hina Godema wele sia: beba: le, E da gaga: su dunu eno ilima asunasi. Ea dio amo da Ihade. E da ea lobo fofadi amoga hawa: hamosu. E da Bediamini fi dunu Gila amo egefe. Isala: ili dunu da Ihade, amo Moua: be hina bagade Egelone ema udigili su iasu ima: ne asunasi.
16 Ehud had with him a double-edged dagger, about a foot and a half long. He strapped it to his right thigh, under his clothes.
Ihade da gegesu gobihei bagade (ea sedade defei da 50sedamida) fe la: idi amola la: idi mei amo hamone, ea lobodafa afoga ea abula haguduga wamo la: gi dagoi.
17 He gave the money to King Eglon, who was a very fat man.
Amalalu, e da su iasu liligi amo Egelonema gaguli asi. Egelone da dunu basului bagade.
18 Then Ehud started to go back home with the men who had carried the money.
Ihade da iasu liligi Egelonema ia dagoiba: le, e da dunu amo da su liligi gaguli misi, ilima ilia da ilia moilaiga bu masa: ne sia: i.
19 When they arrived at the stone carvings near Gilgal, [he told the other men to go on, but] he himself turned around and went back [to the king of Moab. When he arrived at the palace], he said to the king, “Your majesty, I have a secret message for you.” So the king told all his servants to be quiet, and sent them out of the room.
Be Ihade hisu da hedofai igi Giliga: le moilai gadenene amoga doaga: le, Egelonema buhagili, ema amane sia: i, “Hina bagade! Na da dima wamolegei sia: sia: mu galebe.” Amaiba: le, hina bagade da ea hawa: hamosu dunuma amane sia: i, “Masa! Ania fawane esalumu.” Amola ilia da huluane gadili asi.
20 Then, as Eglon was sitting alone in the upstairs room of his summer palace, Ehud came close to him and said, “I have a message for you from God.” As the king got up from his chair,
Amalalu, hina bagade hisu da anegagi sesei ea diasu gadodili diala amo ganodini fibi ba: i. Ihade da ema asili, amane sia: i, “Na da Gode Ea sia: dima adomu.” Hina bagade da wa: legadoi.
21 Ehud reached with his left hand and pulled the dagger from his right thigh, and plunged it into the king’s belly.
Ihade da ea lobo fofadini amoga gobihei bagade amo duga: le gadole, Egelone ea hagomo damana sone,
22 He thrust it in so far that the handle went into the king’s belly, and the blade came out the king’s back. Ehud did not pull the dagger out. [He left it there, with] the handle buried in the king’s fat.
badofale, gadili asi. Amaiba: le, Egelone ea sefe da bosonagala: le gobihei geda amo dedeboi ba: i. Be gobihei da mae duga: gala: le, medene gasaga gagulaligi dialebe ba: i.
23 Then Ehud left the room. He went out to the porch. He shut the doors to the room and locked them.
Amalalu, Ihade da gadili asili, diasu logo noga: le ga: sili, fisili asi.
24 After he had gone, King Eglon’s servants came back, but they saw that the doors of the room were locked. They said, “The king must be defecating in the inner room.”
Egelone hawa: hamosu dunu da misini, logo ga: i dagoi ba: beba: le, hina bagade da fonobahadi diasuga asi dagoi, dawa: i galu.
25 So they waited, but when the king did not open the doors of the room, after a while they were worried. They got a key and unlocked the doors. And they saw that their king was lying on the floor, dead.
Ilia da ouesalu, be hina bagade da logo hedolo hame doasiba: le, ilia da gi lale, logo doasi. Amalalu, ilia hina bagade amo hada: i fa: i amoga diasa: ili, bogoi dialebe ba: i.
26 Meanwhile, Ehud escaped. He passed by the stone carvings and arrived at Seirah, in the hilly area where the descendants of Ephraim lived.
Ilia da ouesaloba, Ihade da hobea: i dagoi. E da Giliga: le hedofai igi amo baligili, Sia: ila sogebiga doaga: i.
27 There he blew a trumpet [to signal that the people should join him to fight the people of Moab]. So the Israelis went with him from the hills. They went down [toward the Jordan river], with Ehud leading them.
E da amogawi Ifala: ime agolo sogega doaga: loba, e da Isala: ili dunu gegemusa: gilisima: ne, dalabede dusu. Amalalu, e da Isala: ili dunu bisili oule asili, ilia da agolo soge fisili, umiga sa: i.
28 He said to the men, “Yahweh is going to allow us to defeat your enemies, the people of Moab. So follow me!” So they followed him down to the river, and they stationed some of their men at the place where people can walk across the river, in order that they could [kill any people from Moab who tried to] cross the river [to escape].
E amane sia: i, “Nama fa: no bobogema. Hina Gode da dilia ha lai dunu amo Moua: be dunu, ili hasalasima: ne hamoi dagoi.” Amaiba: le, ilia da Ihade amoma fa: no bobogele, ilia da hano degesu sogebi (amoga Moua: be dunu da Yodane degemusa: dawa: i) amo lai dagoi. Amalalu, ilia da Moua: be dunu huluane fane legei dagoi. Moua: be dunu afadafa da Yodane Hano hame degei.
29 At that time, the Israelis killed about 10,000 people from Moab. They were all strong and capable men, but not one of them escaped.
Amo esoha, ilia da Moua: be dadi gagui dunu noga: i amo 10,000 agoane medole legei dagoi. Afae da hame hobea: i.
30 On that day, the Israelis conquered the people of Moab. Then there was peace in their land for 80 years.
Amo esoha, Isala: ili dunu da Moua: be fi ili hasali dagoi. Amalalu, ilia soge ganodini, ilia da ode 80 olofosu fawane ba: i.
31 After Ehud [died], Shamgar became their leader. He rescued the Israelis [from the Philistines. In one battle] he killed 600 Philistines with an (ox goad/sharp wooden pole).
Fa: no, bisisu dunu eno Sia: maga (A: ina: de egefe) da Isala: ili dunu ouligisu. E amola da Isala: ili dunu gaga: i. E da Filisidini dunu 600 agoane amo bulamagau masa: ne sesu ifa, amoga fane legei.
