Judges 7
1 And Jerubbaal (he [is] Gideon) riseth early, and all the people who [are] with him, and they encamp by the well of Harod, and the camp of Midian hath been on the south of him, on the height of Moreh, in the valley.
Te dongah Jerubbaal Gideon neh a taengkah pilnam boeih te a thoh puei tih Hardo sih ah rhaeh uh. Te vaengah Midian rhaehhmuen tah tuikol kah Moreh som tlangpuei ah om van.
2 And Jehovah saith unto Gideon, 'Too many [are] the people who [are] with thee for My giving Midian into their hand, lest Israel beautify itself against Me, saying, My hand hath given salvation to me;
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Gideon te, “Midian te amih kut ah kan tloeng ham dongah na taengkah pilnam te yet aih. 'Kamah kut loh kamah he n'khang,’ a ti neh Israel loh kai taengah kohang ve.
3 and now, call, I pray thee, in the ears of the people, saying, Whoso [is] afraid and trembling, let him turn back and go early from mount Gilead;' and there turn back of the people twenty and two thousand, and ten thousand have been left.
Te dongah pilnam kah a hna ah pang thil lamtah, 'U khaw aka rhih tih aka thuen tah bal mai saeh lamtah Gilead tlang lamloh nong saeh,’ ti nah,” a ti nah. Te vaengah pilnam khui lamloh hlang thawng kul thawng hnih te bal tih thawng rha la cul uh.
4 And Jehovah saith unto Gideon, 'Yet [are] the people too many; bring them down unto the water, and I refine it for thee there; and it hath been, he of whom I say unto thee, This doth go with thee — he doth go with thee; and any of whom I say unto thee, This doth not go with thee — he doth not go.'
Tedae Gideon te BOEIPA loh, “Pilnam he yet aih pueng. Amih te tui taengla suntlak puei lamtah nang hamla pahoi ka nuemnai bitni. Te vaengah nang taengah, 'Anih he namah taengah pongpa saeh,’ ka ti hlang te tah namah taengah pongpa saeh. Tedae, 'anih te namah taengah pongpa boel saeh,’ tila nang taengah ka thui hlang boeih te tah pongpa van boel saeh,” a ti nah.
5 And he bringeth down the people unto the water, and Jehovah saith unto Gideon, 'Every one who lappeth with his tongue of the water as the dog lappeth — thou dost set him apart; also every one who boweth on his knees to drink.'
Te dongah pilnam te tui taengla a suntlak puei. Te phoeiah Gideon te BOEIPA loh, “Ui kah a laeh bangla tui te a lai neh aka laek boeih neh tui ok ham a khuklu dongah aka cungkueng hlang boeih te amah neh amah hloep khueh,” a ti nah.
6 And the number of those lapping with their hand unto their mouth is three hundred men, and all the rest of the people have bowed down on their knees to drink water.
Te vaengah a ka neh a kut aka laek he hlangmi la hlang ya thum lo tih, pilnam hlangrhuel boeih long tah tui ok hamla a khuklu dongah cungkueng uh.
7 And Jehovah saith unto Gideon, 'By the three hundred men who are lapping I save you, and have given Midian into thy hand, and all the people go, each to his place.'
Te dongah Gideon te BOEIPA loh, “Tui aka laek hlang ya thum neh nang te kan khang vetih Midian te nang kut ah kan paek bitni. A tloe pilnam boeih te tah amah hmuen la rhip cet uh mai saeh,” a ti nah.
8 And the people take the provision in their hand, and their trumpets, and every man of Israel he hath sent away, each to his tents; and on the three hundred men he hath kept hold, and the camp of Midian hath been by him at the lower part of the valley.
Te dongah pilnam loh a kut dongah lampu neh tuki te a khuen uh. Israel hlang boeih te a dap la rhip a tueih coeng dae hlang ya thum te tah a rhuem pueng. Te vaengah Midian rhaehhmuen he tuikol kungdak kah amah taengah om coeng.
9 And it cometh to pass, on that night, that Jehovah saith unto him, 'Rise, go down into the camp, for I have given it into thy hand;
Tekah khoyin ah Gideon te BOEIPA loh, “Thoo, anih te na kut dongah kam paek coeng dongah rhaehhmuen ke suntlak thil laeh.
10 and if thou art afraid to go down — go down, thou and Phurah thy young man, unto the camp,
Tedae suntlak ham na rhih atah na ca Purah te rhaehhmuen la namah loh suntlak puei.
11 and thou hast heard what they speak, and afterwards are thy hands strengthened, and thou hast gone down against the camp.' And he goeth down, he and Phurah his young man, unto the extremity of the fifties who [are] in the camp;
A thui uh te na yaak tih, na kut han talong uh phoei daengah ni rhaehhmuen khaw na suntlak thil eh?,” a ti nah. Te daengah a ca Purah khaw rhaehhmuen kaepvai kah aka bop kah taphung la a suntlak puei.
12 and Midian and Amalek, and all the sons of the east are lying in the valley, as the locust for multitude, and of their camels there is no number, as sand which [is] on the sea-shore for multitude.
Te vaengah Midian neh Amalek khaw, khothoeng ca rhoek boeih khaw kaisih aka hol uh bangla kol ah yalh uh tih amih kah kalauk mah tuipuei tuikaeng kah laivin bangla tae lek pawt la hmoeng.
13 And Gideon cometh in, and lo, a man is recounting to his companion a dream, and saith, 'Lo, a dream I have dreamed, and lo, a cake of barley-bread is turning itself over into the camp of Midian, and it cometh in unto the tent, and smiteth it, and it falleth, and turneth it upwards, and the tent hath fallen.'
Gideon halo vaengah hlang pakhat loh a hui taengah a mang tarha ana doek thui tih, “Mang ka man hatah cangtun vaidam a hluem hluem at loh Midian rhaehhmuen la paluet tih dap khuila kun. Dap te a toh tih a cungku phoeiah a so la a palet thil dongah dap cungku he,” a ti nah.
14 And his companion answereth and saith, 'This is nothing save the sword of Gideon son of Joash, a man of Israel; God hath given into his hand Midian and all the camp.'
A hui long khaw a doo tih, “A hong moenih, Israel tongpa, Joash capa Gideon kah cunghang dae la te, Midian neh rhaehhmuen boeih he Pathen loh anih kut dongah a paek coeng,” a ti nah.
15 And it cometh to pass, when Gideon heareth the narration of the dream and its interpretation, that he boweth himself, and turneth back unto the camp of Israel, and saith, 'Rise ye, for Jehovah hath given into your hand the camp of Midian.'
Mang kawng a saep te Gideon loh a yaak vaegnah tho a thueng. Te phoeiah Israel rhaehhmuen la mael tih, “Midian rhaehhmuen he BOEIPA loh na kut ah m'paek coeng dongah thoo uh laeh,” a ti nah.
16 And he divideth the three hundred men [into] three detachments, and putteth trumpets into the hand of all of them, and empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers.
Hlang ya thum te a lu pathum a boel tih amih boeih long te a kut dongah tuki, amrhaeng hoeng neh amrhaeng khui ah hmaithoi te rhip a paek.
17 And he saith unto them, 'Look at me, and thus do; and lo, I am coming into the extremity of the camp — and it hath been — as I do so ye do;
Te phoeiah amih te, “Kai nan hmuh uh vanbangla saii uh van. Tahae ah rhaehhmuen taphung la ka cet pawn ni, te dongah ka saii bangla saii uh.
18 and I have blown with a trumpet — I and all who [are] with me, and ye have blown with trumpets, even ye, round about all the camp, and have said, For Jehovah and for Gideon.'
Kai loh tuki te ka ueng van neh ka taengkah rhoek boeih long khaw tuki te ueng uh. Nangmih long khaw rhaehhmuen taengvai boeih ah, “BOEIPA ham neh Gideon ham,” ti uh van,” a ti nah.
19 And Gideon cometh — and the hundred men who [are] with him — into the extremity of the camp, [at] the beginning of the middle watch (it hath only just confirmed the watchmen), and they blow with trumpets — dashing in pieces also the pitchers which [are] in their hand;
Gideon loh amah taengkah hlang yakhat te pukthung bangli vaengah rhaehhmuen taphung la a pawk puei. Kho aka tawt rhoek te a thoh van neh tuki te a ueng uh tih a kut dongkah amrhaeng te a dae uh.
20 and the three detachments blow with trumpets, and break the pitchers, and keep hold with their left hand on the lamps, and with their right hand on the trumpets to blow, and they cry, 'The sword of Jehovah and of Gideon.'
Te phoeiah rhoihui pathum loh tuki te a ueng uh tih amrhaeng te a dae uh. Te phoeiah hmaithoi te a banvoei kut neh, ueng hamla tuki te a bantang kut ah a thueng uh tih, “BOEIPA ham neh Gideon ham cunghang he,” tila pang uh.
21 And they stand each in his place, round about the camp, and all the camp runneth, and they shout, and flee;
Rhaehhmuen te a kaepvai kah a kungdak ah boeih a pai thil uh vaengah rhaehhmuen kah te khaw boeih yong. Te vaengah a rhaelrham a rhaelrham uh doeah yuhui uh.
22 and the three hundred blow the trumpets, and Jehovah setteth the sword of each against his companion, even through all the camp; and the camp fleeth unto Beth-Shittah, at Zererath, unto the border of Abel-Meholah, by Tabbath.
Tuki ya thum te a ueng uh van neh khat rhip kah cunghang te BOEIPA loh a hui taeng neh rhaehhuen tom boeih taengla a cuk sak dongah lambong loh Bethshitah Zererah ben Tabath kaepkah Abelmeholah khorhi duela rhaelrham uh.
23 And the men of Israel are called from Naphtali, and from Asher, and from all Manasseh, and pursue after Midian.
Te vaengah Israel hlang te Napthali lamkah khaw, Asher lamkah khaw, Manasseh tom lamkah khaw a khue tih Midian hnuk te a hloem uh.
24 And messengers hath sent Gideon into all the hill-country of Ephraim, saying, 'Come down to meet Midian, and capture before them the waters unto Beth-Barah, and the Jordan;' and every man of Ephraim is called, and they capture the waters unto Beth-Barah, and the Jordan,
Puencawn rhoek te khaw Gideon loh Ephraim tlang tom ah a tueih tih, “Midian khoep mah ham ha suntla uh lamtah amih te Bethbarah tui neh Jordan duela buem uh laeh,” a ti nah. Te dongah Ephraim hlang te boeih a doek tih Bethbarah tui neh Jordan duela a buem uh.
25 and they capture two of the heads of Midian, Oreb, and Zeeb, and slay Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and Zeeb they have slain at the wine-vat of Zeeb, and they pursue unto Midian; and the heads of Oreb and Zeeb they have brought in unto Gideon beyond the Jordan.
Te vaengah Midian mangpa rhoi Oreb neh Zeeb te a tuuk uh tih, Oreb te Oreb lungpang ah a ngawn uh. Zeeb te tah Zeeb mah la a ngawn uh. Te phoeiah Midian te a hloem uh tih, Oreb neh Zeeb lu te Jordan rhalvangan kah Gideon taengla a khuen uh.
