Judges 9
1 And Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal went to Shechem to his mother’s brethren, and talked with them, and with all the family of the house of his mother’s father, saying,
Nikhat hi Gideon chapa Abimelech chu Shechem ache in, apupa hichu anu sopipa chu gavil dingin achen ahi. Aman amahole anu insungmi adangho jah a chun hitin aseije,
2 Speak, I pray you, in the ears of all the men of Shechem, Which is better for you, either that all the sons of Jerubbaal, which are seventy persons, should reign over you, or that one should reign over you? remember also that I am your bone and your flesh.
“Shechem khomite lah a lamkai ho kommah Gideon chate som sagi hon nachunguva vai ahomding nadeijuvam ahilouleh mikhat’in vai ahomding nadei joh uvam tin dongun anatin ahi. Chuleh keimahi nathisan uleh naphe navou u kahi ti geldoh un” atin ahi.
3 And his mother’s brethren spoke of him in the ears of all the men of Shechem all these words: and their hearts inclined to follow Abimelech; for they said, He is our brother.
Hitichun Abimelech puteh on ama thakhellin Shechem miteho chu anadongun ahi. Hiche thuhi Shechem mite hon giltah a ageljouvun Abimelech chu akinaipiu ahiyeh in achunguva vaihom dingin alheng tauvin ahi.
4 And they gave him seventy pieces of silver out of the house of Baalberith, with which Abimelech hired worthless and light persons, who followed him.
Hijeh chun amahon Baal-berith houin na konin dangka somsagi anapeuvin, hichu mangcha in aman miduhdahlou miphabep anungjui dingin akisemmin ahi.
5 And he went to his father’s house at Ophrah, and slew his brethren the sons of Jerubbaal, being seventy persons, upon one stone: however Jotham the youngest son of Jerubbaal was left; for he hid himself.
Chujouvin Abimelech chu Ophrah khopia apa insunga ache in, songkhat mangchan asopi te Gideon chapa somsagi chu agathat gamtan ahi. Ahin u-cha holah a aneopen Jotham chu jamdoh in ana kiseldoh tan ahi.
6 And all the men of Shechem gathered together, and all the house of Millo, and went, and made Abimelech king, by the plain of the pillar that was in Shechem.
Hiche jouchun Shechem leh Beth-millo khomite lah a lamkai hochu Shechem khompi kom gangpi phungnoijah akikhommun Abimelech chu leng achansah taove.
7 And when they told it to Jotham, he went and stood in the top of mount Gerizim, and lifted up his voice, and cried, and said to them, Hearken to me, ye men of Shechem, that God may hearken to you.
Jotham’in hichehi ajahdoh phatnin Gerezim molchung vummah akaldoh in kho ahin samtan ahi, “Shechem khocheng miteho kathuseihi ngaijuvin! Pathenin nathuseiju angaiding nadeijuleh kathuseihi neingai peh un!
8 The trees went forth once to anoint a king over them; and they said to the olive tree, Reign thou over us.
Phat khatnin thingphung hon alengpau ding alheng gouvin amasapen in Olive thingphung kommah aseijun, kalengpao dingin neipanpeh un atiuve!
9 But the olive tree said to them, Should I leave my fatness, with which by me they honour God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?
Ahinlah Olive thingphung anompon, hitin aseijin ahi, keiman Olive thao kaputdoh sah a Pathen le mihemte kakipasahji hi kangah’a, iti thingphung dangho chunga vai kagahom dingham? ati.
10 And the trees said to the fig tree, Come thou, and reign over us.
Chujouvin theichang phung komma agaseijun nangma kalengpau vin hung pang tan agatiuve.
11 But the fig tree said to them, Should I forsake my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to be promoted over the trees?
Ahinlah theichang phung chu ana nompon hitin ahinseije, ‘Keiman theichang lhumkei kagadohsah hi kadalhah a hiche thingphung holah a hi iti kaga vaihom dingham?’ ati.
12 Then said the trees to the vine, Come thou, and reign over us.
Hiche jouchun lengpithei phung komma agaseijun kalengpau vin hung pangtan agatiuve,
13 And the vine said to them, Should I leave my wine, which cheereth God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?
Ahinlah lengpithei phung chu ananompon hitihin ahin seije, ‘Keima Pathen leh mihemte kakipasahna hiche tuilhum kaput dohsah hi kangah’a iti hiche thingphungho chunga hi kaga vaihom dingham anatin ahi.
14 Then said all the trees to the bramble, Come thou, and reign over us.
Ajona in thingphung jouse chu acheuvin lingphung kommah hunginlang kalengpau vin hung pangtan agatiuve.
15 And the bramble said to the trees, If in truth ye anoint me king over you, then come and put your trust in my shadow: and if not, let fire come out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon.
Hiche lingphung chun thingho kommah hitin ahin seije, “Nanghon keimahi nalenguva neitun nom uleh, hungun lang kalimnoi jahin hung kisel tauvin, achutilouleh keija kon in mei hungkongdoh intin Lebanon na um Cedar thingphung jouse akahvam ding ahi,” ati.
16 Now therefore, if ye have done truly and sincerely, in that ye have made Abimelech king, and if ye have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have done to him according to the deserving of his hands;
Jothamin aseiben, “Tun nanghon Abimelech chu nalengpau dinga natun uhi lungthengtah leh bolding lomtah a nabollu hinam chuleh Gideon leh achilhahte chunga hi them nachandiu hinam? Kigellun. Aman atohdoh ho chunga ahiding bangtah a janale hetpehna achanding doltah nachan sah u hinam?
17 (For my father fought for you, and adventured his life far, and delivered you from the hand of Midian:
Ajeh chu aman ahinkho phal ngam’a nangho Midiante a konna nahuhdoh u ahi.
18 And ye have risen up against my father’s house this day, and have slain his sons, seventy persons, upon one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his maidservant, king over the men of Shechem, because he is your brother; )
Ahinlah tunin nanghon kapaleh achilhah ho chungah khan gitlouna nasatah nabollun achate somsagi jen chu songkhat mangchan nathat tauvin ahi. Hitichun asoh numeinu chapa Abimelech chu nasopiu ahiyeh in nalengpau vin natung tauvin ahi.
19 If ye then have dealt truly and sincerely with Jerubbaal and with his house this day, then rejoice ye in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice in you:
Tunia na natoh uhi Gideon chungle achilhah ho chunga lungtheng tah le jana neitah a natoh u ahileh Abimelech chungah nanghon kipana muvin chuleh amanjong nangho chungah kipana muhen.
20 But if not, let fire come out from Abimelech, and devour the men of Shechem, and the house of Millo; and let fire come out from the men of Shechem, and from the house of Millo, and devour Abimelech.
Amavang nanghon lungtheng tah a nabollu ahilouleh vang Abimelech a kon in meihung kongdoh henlang Shechem leh Beth-millo a chengho lah a lamkaiho jouse vallhum hen, chuleh Shechem leh Beth-millo’a chenghoa kon in meihung koudoh henlang Abimelech vallhum hen.” Tin anasam in ahi.
21 And Jotham ran away, and fled, and went to Beer, and dwelt there, for fear of Abimelech his brother.
Hiche jouchun Jotham ajamdoh in, asopipa Abimelech akichat jeh in Beer ah agachengtai.
22 When Abimelech had reigned three years over Israel,
Abimelech hin Israelte chung’a kum thum lhingset vai anapo in ahi.
23 Then God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech:
Pathen’in lhagao khat ahinsollin Abimelech leh Shechem khomite lamkai ho kikah a kiboina asodoh sah tan, hichun amaho akiphin taove.
24 That the cruelty done to the seventy sons of Jerubbaal might come, and their blood be laid upon Abimelech their brother, who slew them; and upon the men of Shechem, who aided him in the killing of his brethren.
Abimelech chu Gideon chapa sagi athajeh chuleh Shechem ma chenghon Abimelech in asopiho athachu ana tosot jeh un Pathen’in amaho chu gotna apetan ahi.
25 And the men of Shechem set an ambush for him on the top of the mountains, and they robbed all that came along that way by them: and it was told Abimelech.
Hichun Shechem khomiten Abimelech chu molchunga achaanglhi uvin hilanga cheho jouse chu anachom’un ahi. Ahin hitobang atohgot uchu mikhat in Abimelech henga agaseipeh tan ahi.
26 And Gaal the son of Ebed came with his brethren, and went over to Shechem: and the men of Shechem put their confidence in him.
Nikhat hi Ebed chapa Gaal kitipa chu Shechem ma asopi hotoh achaolut uvin ahileh, akhomite lamkaihon ama chu atahsan jotauvin ahi.
27 And they went out into the fields, and gathered their vineyards, and trod the grapes, and made merry, and went into the house of their god, and ate and drank, and cursed Abimelech.
Shechem’a kumlhun nehlechah kikhol khom phatna kimang golvah chu akho munna chengten semthu pathen ahounao houin na chun amangun ahi. Lengpithei twi chu nengtah alonjing pettah chun mijousen Abimelech chu asamse asamse jengtauvin ahi.
28 And Gaal the son of Ebed said, Who is Abimelech, and who is Shechem, that we should serve him? is not he the son of Jerubbaal? and Zebul his officer? serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem: for why should we serve him?
“Abimelech hi koi hija ham?” tin Gaal chun asamtan ahi. “Amachu Shechem cha tahbeh ahipoi” ahileh ama lhacha kin ibola itoh diuham? Amachu Gideon chabou ahin chuleh Zebul hi ama noidoupa maimai ahibouve, Shechem phutdohpa Hamor chapa tahbeh ho kinbou iboldiu ahi, ipi dinga Abimelech lhacha na itoh diuham?
29 And would that this people were under my hand! then would I remove Abimelech. And he said to Abimelech, Increase thy army, and come out.
Keimahi hilai munna vaipo hileng Abimelech hi kasuhmang ding ahi. Keiman ama kommah epia phabep hinkipuijin chuleh hunginlang kisatto hite katiding ahi,” tin Gaal in ana samtan ahi.
30 And when Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his anger was kindled.
Ahin Zebul hiche khopia lamkaipa chun Gaal thusei chu ajahdoh phatnin alunghang lhehjengin ahi.
31 And he sent messengers to Abimelech deceitfully, saying, Behold, Gaal the son of Ebed and his brethren are come to Shechem; and, behold, they fortify the city against thee.
Hichun aman Arumah-a um Abimelech komma chun thupole ho khat asollin hitihin aseije, “Ebed chapa Gaal leh asopite chu Shechem’a cheng dingin ahungin, tun amahon khopi mitehi nangma dou dingin atildoh tan ahi.
32 Now therefore rise up by night, thou and the people that are with thee, and lie in wait in the field:
Nasepaite toh jannin hungin lang loujao dunga khun hung kisellin lang,
33 And it shall be, that in the morning, as soon as the sun hath risen, thou shalt rise early, and rush upon the city: and, behold, when he and the people that are with him come out against thee, then mayest thou do to them as thou shalt find occasion.
Jingkah kho ahungvah vahleh khopihi hinbulu jengin, Gaal leh aloiho nangma dou dia kisaho sese chunga chu nangman nadei deija nabolthei ahitai” ati.
34 And Abimelech rose, and all the people that were with him, by night, and they laid wait against Shechem in four companies.
Hijeh chun Abimelech leh amite jouse jannin acheuvin loili in akihom khen un Shechem chu aumtauvin ahi.
35 And Gaal the son of Ebed went out, and stood in the entrance of the gate of the city: and Abimelech rose, and the people that were with him, from lying in wait.
Abimelech le asepaite chu akiselnaova konna ahung potdoh phat chun Gaal chu khopi kelkot achun ana dingin ahi.
36 And when Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul, Behold, there come people down from the top of the mountains. And Zebul said to him, Thou seest the shadow of the mountains as if they were men.
Gaal chun amaho chu amu phatnin Zebul kommah ahin seije, “Ven molvumma konin mihonpi phabep ahungsuh uve” ati. Zebul chun ahin donbutnin “Hichu thinglhanga thil legao ho pouchu mihem limma namu khattou hinte” ati.
37 And Gaal spoke again and said, See there come people down by the middle of the land, and another company come along by the plain of Meonenim.
Ahinlah Gaal chun aseikit’in, “Ahipoi molla konkhun mipi phabep ahungsuh in ahi” atikit in ahi, chuleh loi chomkhatjong doi kisanna gangpi phung galkaina lampia kon jongkhun ahung suh uve,” atin ahi.
38 Then said Zebul to him, Where is now thy mouth, with which thou saidst, Who is Abimelech, that we should serve him? are not these the people that thou hast despised? go out, I pray now, and fight with them.
Hichun Zebul chun ama lam ahin nga’in ahin donbutnin ahi. “Tuahi nakama nanop nop naseichu hoilang geija hitam? Abimelech koiham, eihon ama kin ipi dinga ibol ding uham nati hilouham? Nangin nahouset hochu tun khopi pamma aum uve! Potdoh inlang gakisatpi tan,” atipeh tan ahi.
39 And Gaal went out before the men of Shechem, and fought with Abimelech.
Hijeh chun Gaal in Shechem khomite lamkai hochu Abimelech te kisat dingin apuitan ahi.
40 And Abimelech chased him, and he fled before him, and many were overthrown and wounded, even to the entrance of the gate.
Ahinlah Abimelech chun Gaal ahindellin, chuleh Shechem mite tamtah chu akisukha un, chule khopi kelkot langa hunglejam hochu alhukaam tauvin ahi.
41 And Abimelech dwelt at Arumah: and Zebul thrust out Gaal and his brethren, that they should not dwell in Shechem.
Abimelech chu Arumah langah akiletan, Zebul chun Gaal leh asopi hochu anodohtan ahi.
42 And it came to pass on the next day, that the people went out into the field; and they told Abimelech.
Ajing chun Shechem mipite chu galsat dingin ahung kondoh kittauvin ahi. Abimelech chun hichu ajahdoh phatnin,
43 And he took the people, and divided them into three companies, and laid wait in the field, and looked, and, behold, the people had come out of the city; and he rose up against them, and smote them.
Amite chu loithum’in ahom khennin loujaovah amaho chu achaanglhi tauvin ahi. Abimelech in Shechem mipi teho chu akhopi uva konna ahung kondoh amudoh phat’in, amaho jong akisel naova kon in ahung potdoh'un akisatpi tauvin ahi.
44 And Abimelech, and the company that was with him, rushed forward, and stood in the entrance of the gate of the city: and the two other companies ran upon all the people that were in the fields, and slew them.
Abimelech aloihon khopi kelkotchu anokhum um Shechem mite chu ahunglelut kit theilou nadiuvin akhahtan tauvin ahi. Langkhat ah Abimelech mite loini kihomkhen chun phaileijah amahochu anasat chap jengun ahi.
45 And Abimelech fought against the city all that day; and he took the city, and slew the people that were in it, and beat down the city, and sowed it with salt.
Nilhum keijin akisatnun ajona in Abimelech chun khopi chu alatan ahi. Aman mipiho chu athatgammin khopi chu asuchimmin toll ajang pumpichu chi asokhumtan ahi.
46 And when all the men of the tower of Shechem heard that, they entered into a strong hold of the house of the god Berith.
Khosung chengho lah a lamkaiho Shechem inting vumma chengho chun thilsoh hochu ajahphat un ajam’un Baal doi houna in na chun alut un akisel tauvin ahi.
47 And it was told to Abimelech, that all the men of the tower of Shechem were gathered together.
Mikhatnin Shechem khomi lamkai hochu asemthu pathen houna insunga akiselluve ti Abimelech chu agaseipeh phat nin,
48 And Abimelech went up to mount Zalmon, he and all the people that were with him; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bough from the trees, and took it, and laid it on his shoulder, and said to the people that were with him, What ye have seen me do, make haste, and do as I have done.
Asepaite hochu Zalmon mol langa apuitou tan ahi, aman heicha khat alan thingboh hochu atulhan alengkouva akiput in ahi. Chuin aman amite jah ah “Gangtah hin keibol tobang hin bollun,” ati.
49 And all the people likewise cut down every man his bough, and followed Abimelech, and put them to the strong hold, and set the strong hold on fire upon them; so that all the men of the tower of Shechem died also, about a thousand men and women.
Hitichun abonchaovin thingbah chu akisatnun Abimelech bol tobang chun abolsoh tauvin ahi. Amahon thingbah hochu a houin bang chunga chun asekhommun meiyin ahal khum tauvin ahi. Hichun Shechem inting vumma um mipi jouse chu athigamtan ahi. Amaho chu numei pasal agommin mi sangkhat ahiuve.
50 Then went Abimelech to Thebez, and encamped against Thebez, and took it.
Hiche banchun Abimelech in Thebez khopi chu anokhum in alataan ahi.
51 But there was a strong tower within the city, and to there fled all the men and women, and all they of the city, and shut it after them, and went up to the top of the tower.
Ahinlah khopi sunga chun intingvum lhoutah khat aummin, khopi sunga mipite jouse chu numei pasal abonchaovin hiche munna chun ajamlut tauvin ahi. Amahole amaho kot akikam khummun intingvum chung vumma akaldoh tauvin ahi.
52 And Abimelech came to the tower, and fought against it, and came near to the door of the tower to burn it with fire.
Abimelech in amaho chu ajuilut’in intingvumma chu nokhum agon ahi. Ahinlah aman alutnao munchu gahhal ding agot laitah in,
53 And a certain woman cast a piece of a millstone upon Abimelech’s head, and broke his skull.
Numei khatnin nching danna konna sumhei songkhat ahin seplhan ahileh Abimelech luchanga chun achun aluchu asepkeh tan ahi.
54 Then he called hastily to the young man his armourbearer, and said to him, Draw thy sword, and slay me, that men say not of me, A woman slew him. And his young man thrust him through, and he died.
Aman agalmanchah poa gollhangpa komma chun gangtah in “Nachemjam satdoh loijinlang neihin thatnin, achuti louleh min numei khatnin Abimelech athattai tiget inte,” ahi. Hichun gollhangpa chun Abimelech chu ana sunlihtai.
55 And when the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, they departed every man to his place.
Abimelech miten amachu athitai ti amudoh phat’un akikhen tellun aincheh uvah akile tauvin ahi.
56 Thus God rendered the wickedness of Abimelech, which he did to his father, in slaying his seventy brethren:
Hitihin Abimelech in apadouna a asopite somsagi ana tha jeh chun Pathen’in achunga phu ana latan ahi.
57 And all the evil of the men of Shechem did God render upon their heads: and upon them came the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal.
Shechem mipite jongchu thilse boljeh un Pathen’in achung'uva phu alatan ahi. Hitichun Gideon chapa Jotham min agaosapna chu aguilhungtan ahi.
