Atiirĩrĩri 3
1 Ici nĩcio ndũrĩrĩ iria Jehova aatigirie kuo nĩguo ageragie andũ a Isiraeli arĩa mataamenyerete ũhoro wa mbaara cia kũu Kaanani.
These nowe are the nations which the Lord left, that he might proue Israel by them (euen as many of Israel as had not knowen all the warres of Canaan,
2 (Eekire ũguo nĩgeetha arute njiaro cia andũ a Isiraeli ũhoro wa mbaara tondũ njiaro icio itiamenyete ũhoro wa kũrũa mbaara).
Only to make the generations of the children of Israel to know, and to teach them warre, which doutles their predecessors knew not)
3 Ndũrĩrĩ icio nĩcio ici: aathani arĩa atano a Afilisti, na Akaanani othe, na Asidoni, na Ahivi arĩa maatũũraga irĩma-inĩ cia Lebanoni kuuma Kĩrĩma kĩa Baali-Herimoni o nginya Lebo-Hamathu.
Fiue princes of the Philistims, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hiuites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baal-hermon vntill one come to Hamath.
4 Ciatigirio nĩgeetha igerie andũ a Isiraeli, nĩguo monwo kana nĩmarĩathĩkagĩra maathani ma Jehova marĩa aaheete maithe mao ma tene na guoko kwa Musa.
And these remayned to proue Israel by them, to wit, whether they would obey the commandements of the Lord, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
5 Andũ a Isiraeli magĩtũũrania na Akaanani, na Ahiti, na Aamori, na Aperizi, na Ahivi, na Ajebusi.
And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hiuites, and the Iebusites,
6 Nao makĩhikia airĩtu ao, na makĩheana airĩtu ao mahikio nĩ aanake a andũ acio, na magĩtungatĩra ngai ciao.
And they tooke their daughters to bee their wiues, and gaue their daughters to their sonnes, and serued their gods.
7 Andũ a Isiraeli nĩmekire ũũru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova; makĩriganĩrwo nĩ Jehova Ngai wao, na magĩtungatĩra ngai cia Baali na cia Ashera.
So the children of Israel did wickedly in the sight of the Lord, and forgate the Lord their God, and serued Baalim, and Asheroth.
8 Namo marakara ma Jehova magĩakanĩra andũ a Isiraeli o nginya akĩmarekereria moko-inĩ ma Kushani-Rishathaimu mũthamaki wa Aramu-Naharaimu, ũrĩa andũ a Isiraeli maatungatĩire mĩaka ĩnana.
Therefore the wrath of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he solde them into the hand of Chushan rishathaim King of Aram-naharaim, and the children of Israel serued Chushan rishathaim eyght yeeres.
9 No rĩrĩa maarĩrĩire Jehova, akĩmaarahũrĩra mũndũ wa kũmahonokia wetagwo Othinieli mũrũ wa Kenazu, mũrũ wa ithe na Kalebu ũrĩa mũnini, nake akĩmahonokia.
And when the children of Israel cryed vnto the Lord, the Lord stirred vp a sauiour to ye children of Israel, and he saued them, euen Othniel the sonne of Kenaz, Calebs yonger brother.
10 Roho wa Jehova agĩũka igũrũ rĩake, agĩtuĩka mũtiirĩrĩri bũrũri wa Isiraeli na agĩthiĩ ita-inĩ. Nake Jehova akĩneana Kushani-Rishathaimu mũthamaki wa Aramu moko-inĩ ma Othinieli, nake akĩmũtooria.
And the spirite of the Lord came vpon him, and he iudged Israel, and went out to warre: and the Lord deliuered Chushan rishathaim king of Aram into his hand, and his hand preuailed against Chushan rishathaim.
11 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio bũrũri ũgĩkorwo na thayũ mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna, nginya rĩrĩa Othinieli mũrũ wa Kenazu aakuire.
So the lande had rest fourtie yeeres, and Othniel the sonne of Kenaz dyed.
12 O rĩngĩ andũ a Isiraeli magĩĩka ũũru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, na tondũ wa gwĩka ũũru ũcio Jehova akĩhe Egiloni mũthamaki wa Moabi hinya wa gũtooria Isiraeli.
Then the children of Israel againe committed wickednesse in the sight of the Lord: and the Lord strengthened Eglon King of Moab against Israel, because they had committed wickednesse before the Lord.
13 Egiloni akĩgĩĩra andũ a Amoni na Amaleki, makĩũngana hamwe nake magĩtharĩkĩra andũ a Isiraeli, na makĩmatunya Itũũra rĩrĩa Inene rĩa Mĩkĩndũ.
And he gathered vnto him the children of Ammon, and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and they possessed the citie of palme trees.
14 Andũ a Isiraeli magĩtuĩka ndungata cia Egiloni mũthamaki wa Moabi mĩaka ikũmi na ĩnana.
So the children of Israel serued Eglon king of Moab eighteene yeeres.
15 O rĩngĩ andũ a Isiraeli makĩrĩrĩra Jehova, nake akĩmahe mũndũ wa kũmahonokia wetagwo Ehudu, warĩ wa kĩmotho; mũrũ wa Gera ũrĩa Mũbenjamini. Nao andũ a Isiraeli makĩmũtũma na irĩhi rĩa igooti kũrĩ Egiloni mũthamaki wa Moabi.
But when the children of Israel cried vnto the Lord, the Lord stirred them vp a sauiour, Ehud the sonne of Gera the sonne of Iemini, a man lame of his right hande: and the children of Israel sent a present by him vnto Eglon King of Moab.
16 Na rĩrĩ, Ehudu nĩathondekete rũhiũ rwa njora rũũgĩ mĩena yeerĩ, ta rwa buti ĩmwe na nuthu kũraiha rũrĩa oohereire njohero-inĩ yake mwena wa ũrĩo nguo-inĩ thĩinĩ.
And Ehud made him a dagger with two edges of a cubite length, and he did gird it vnder his rayment vpon his right thigh,
17 Nake agĩtwarĩra Egiloni mũthamaki wa Moabi igooti, na rĩrĩ, Egiloni aarĩ mũndũ mũnoru mũno.
And he presented ye gift vnto Eglon King of Moab (and Eglon was a very fat man)
18 Thuutha wa Ehudu kũmũnengera igooti, akiumagaria andũ arĩa maarĩkuuĩte, magĩthiĩ.
And when he had now presented the present, he sent away the people that bare ye present,
19 Nowe mwene aakinya mĩhianano-inĩ ĩrĩa yarĩ hakuhĩ na Giligali, akĩhũndũka, agĩthiĩ akĩĩra mũthamaki ũcio atĩrĩ, “Ndĩ na ndũmĩrĩri yaku ya hitho.” Nake mũthamaki akiuga atĩrĩ, “Kirai!” Nao arĩa othe maamũtungatagĩra makĩehera harĩ we.
But he turned againe from the quarris, that were by Gilgal, and said, I haue a secret errand vnto thee, O King. Who said, Keepe silence: and all that stoode about him, went out from him.
20 Nake Ehudu akĩmũkuhĩrĩria rĩrĩa aikarĩte arĩ o wiki nyũmba-inĩ yake ya ũthamaki ya igũrũ, ĩrĩa aikaraga hĩndĩ ya riũa. Akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndĩ na ndũmĩrĩri yaku kuuma kũrĩ Ngai.” Na rĩrĩa mũthamaki ookagĩra kuuma gĩtĩ-inĩ kĩrĩa aikarĩire,
Then Ehud came vnto him. (and he sate alone in a sommer parler, which he had) and Ehud said, I haue a message vnto thee from God. Then he arose out of his throne,
21 Ehudu agĩtambũrũkia guoko gwake kwa ũmotho, akĩruta rũhiũ rwa njora kuuma njohero-inĩ yake mwena wa ũrĩo, agĩtheeca mũthamaki ũcio nda.
And Ehud put forth his left hand, and tooke the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his bellie,
22 O na mũtĩ waruo ũgĩtoonya na rũhiũ rũkiumanĩra na thuutha. Ehudu ndaacomorire rũhiũ, namo maguta makĩrũhumbĩra.
So that the hafte went in after the blade, and the fatte closed about the blade, so that he could not drawe the dagger out of his bellie, but the dirt came out.
23 Ningĩ Ehudu agĩthiĩ gĩthaku-inĩ, akĩhinga mĩrango ya nyũmba ĩyo ya igũrũ, akĩmũhingĩrĩria kuo.
Then Ehud gate him out into the porch, and shut the doores of the parler vpon him, and locked them.
24 Ehudu aarĩkia gũthiĩ, ndungata cia mũthamaki igĩũka igĩkora mĩrango ya nyũmba ya igũrũ ĩrĩ mĩhinge, ikiuga atĩrĩ, “No nginya akorwo nĩ gwĩteithia areteithia kanyũmba-inĩ ka na thĩinĩ.”
And when he was gone out, his seruantes came: who seeing that the doores of the parler were locked, they sayd, Surely he doeth his easement in his sommer chamber.
25 Nacio igĩeterera o nginya igĩconoka, no rĩrĩa aagire kũhingũra mĩrango ya nyũmba, ikĩoya hingũro ikĩhingũra mĩrango. Na hau ikĩona mũnene wao agũĩte thĩ arĩ mũkuũ.
And they taryed till they were ashamed: and seeing he opened not the doores of the parler, they tooke the key, and opened them, and behold, their lord was fallen dead on the earth.
26 Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ĩyo cietereire ihingũrĩrwo-rĩ, Ehudu akĩĩyũrĩra. Akĩhĩtũkĩra mĩhianano-inĩ akĩũrĩra Seira.
So Ehud escaped (while they taried) and was passed the quarris, and escaped vnto Seirah.
27 Aakinya kuo akĩhuha karumbeta kũu bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma wa Efiraimu, nao andũ a Isiraeli magĩikũrũkania nake moimĩte irĩma-inĩ, amatongoretie.
And when he came home, he blew a trumpet in mount Ephraim, and the children of Israel went downe with him from the mountaine, and he went before them.
28 Akĩmaatha atĩrĩ, “Nũmĩrĩrai, nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩaneanĩte Moabi thũ yanyu moko-inĩ manyu.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩikũrũka makĩmũrũmĩrĩra, makĩnyiita mariũko ma Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani marĩa maaringagĩrĩra bũrũri wa Moabi, na matiigana gwĩtĩkĩria mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ aringe rũũĩ rũu.
Then said he vnto them, Follow me: for the Lord hath deliuered your enemies, euen Moab into your hand. So they went downe after him, and tooke the passages of Iorden towarde Moab, and suffred not a man to passe ouer.
29 Na hĩndĩ ĩyo makĩũraga andũ ta 10,000 a Moabi, na othe maarĩ andũ njamba na maarĩ na hinya; na gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wahonokire.
And they slewe of the Moabites the same time about ten thousand men, all fed men, and all were warriours, and there escaped not a man.
30 Mũthenya ũcio andũ a Moabi magĩtuĩka ndungata cia andũ a Isiraeli, naguo bũrũri ũgĩkorwo na thayũ mĩaka mĩrongo ĩnana.
So Moab was subdued that daye, vnder the hand of Israel: and the land had rest fourescore yeeres.
31 Thuutha wa Ehudu hagĩũka mũndũ wetagwo Shamigari mũrũ wa Anathu, ũrĩa woragire Afilisti magana matandatũ na mũcengi ũrĩa ũtindĩkaga ndegwa. O nake akĩhonokia andũ a Isiraeli.
And after him was Shamgar the sonne of Anath, which slewe of the Philistims sixe hundreth men with an oxe goade, and he also deliuered Israel.
