Uk-ukom 3
1 Ita, imbati ni Yahweh dagitoy a nasion a mangsubok iti Israel, tunggal maysa a saan pay a nakapadas iti uray ania kadagiti gubat a napasamak idiay Canaan
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.
2 (inaramidna daytoy tapno isuro ti pannakigubat kadagiti baro a henerasion dagiti Israelita a saan pay a makaammo idi iti daytoy):
3 dagiti lima nga ari dagiti Filisteo, dagiti amin a Cananeo, dagiti taga-Sidonia, ken dagiti Heveo a nagnaed idiay kabanbantayan ti Lebanon, manipud Bantay Baal Hermon agingga iti Bessang Hamat.
[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.
4 Nabati dagitoy a nasion a kas pangsubok ni Yahweh iti Israel, tapno patalgedanna no agtulnogda met laeng kadagiti bilin nga intedna kadagiti kapuonanda babaen kenni Moises.
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.
5 Nagnaed ngarud dagiti tattao ti Israel a kaduada dagiti Cananeo, dagiti Heteo, dagiti Amorreo, dagiti Perezzeo, dagiti Heveo, ken dagiti Jebuseo.
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.
6 Innalada dagiti annakda a babbai tapno agbalin nga assawada, ken intedda dagiti bukodda nga annak a babbai kadagiti annakda a lallaki, ket nagserbida kadagiti diosda.
[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.
7 Inaramid dagiti tattao ti Israel ti dakes iti imatang ni Yahweh ken linipatda ni Yahweh a Diosda. Nagdayawda kadagiti Baal ken Asera.
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.
8 Ngarud, simged ti unget ni Yahweh iti Israel, ket inlakona ida iti ima ni Cusa Risathaim nga ari ti Aram Naharaim. Nagserbi dagiti tattao ti Israel kenni Cusa Risataim iti las-ud ti walo a tawen.
Yahweh became very angry with the Israelis. So he allowed king Cushan from Mesopotamia to conquer them and rule them for eight years.
9 Idi immawag dagiti tattao ti Israel kenni Yahweh, nangisaad ni Yahweh iti maysa a tao nga umay mangtulong kadagiti tattao ti Israel, ken mangispal kadakuada: ni Otniel nga anak ni Kenaz (adingen ni Caleb).
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.
10 Pinapigsa isuna iti Espiritu ni Yahweh, ket nagbalin isuna nga ukom iti Israel ket napan nakigubat isuna. Inted ni Yahweh kenkuana ti panagballigi kenni Cusan Risataim nga ari ti Aram. Ti pannakabalin ni Otniel ti nangparmek kenni Cusan Rasataim.
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.
11 Naaddan iti kappia ti daga iti las-ud ti uppat a pulo a tawen. Kalpasanna, natay ni Otniel nga anak ni Kenaz.
After that, there was peace in the land for 40 years, until Othniel died.
12 Nagsukir manen dagiti tattao ti Israel kenni Yahweh babaen iti panangar-aramidda kadagiti dakes a banbanag, ket nakitana ti inaramidda. Isu a pinabileg ni Yahweh ni Eglon nga ari ti Moab idi rinautna ti Israel, gapu ta nagaramid ti Israel kadagiti dakes a banbanag, ken nakita ni Yahweh ida.
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.
13 Kimmadua ni Eglon kadagiti Ammonita ken Amalekita ket napanda ken pinarmekda ti Israel, ket tinagikuada ti Siudad dagiti Palma.
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’.
14 Nagserbi dagiti tattao ti Israel kenni Eglon nga ari ti Moab iti las-ud iti sangapulo ket walo a tawen.
Then King Eglon ruled the Israelis for eighteen years.
15 Ngem idi immawag dagiti tattao ti Israel kenni Yahweh, nangisaad ni Yahweh iti maysa a tao a tumulong kadakuada, ni Ehud nga anak ni Gera, maysa a lalaki manipud iti tribu ti Benjamin, ken maysa a lalaki a kattigid. Imbaon isuna dagiti tattao ti Israel nga awitna ti bayadda a buis kenni Eglon nga ari ti Moab.
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.
16 Nangaramid ni Ehud iti kampilanna a dua ti tademna, maysa a kubiko ti kaatiddugna; intalina daytoy iti akin-kannawan a luppona iti uneg ti pagan-anayna.
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.
17 Intedna ti bayad a buis kenni Ari Eglon ti Moab. (Ni Eglon ket maysa a nalukmeg a tao.)
He gave the money to King Eglon, who was a very fat man.
18 Kalpasan a naidatag ni Ehud ti buis a bayad kenni Eglon, pimmanaw isuna a kaduana dagiti nangiyuneg iti daytoy.
Then Ehud started to go back home with the men who had carried the money.
19 Nupay kasta, idi nadanon ni Ehud ti lugar a pagaramidan kadagiti nakitikitan nga imahe iti asideg ti Gilgal, timmalikud isuna ket nagsubli, ken kinunana, “Adda iti palimed a mensahek kenka, o arik.” Kinuna ni Eglon, “Talna!” Isu pimmanaw iti siled dagiti amin nga agserserbi kenkuana.
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.
20 Napan ni Ehud kenkuana. Agtugtugaw idi ti ari nga agmaymaysa iti kinalamiis iti akin-ngato a siled. Kinuna ni Ehud, “Adda iti mensahek para kenka manipud iti Dios.” Timmakder ti ari manipud iti tugawna.
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,
21 Innala ni Ehud ti kampilanna babaen iti kannigid nga imana manipud iti makin-kannawan a luppona, ket induyokna daytoy iti bagi ti ari.
Ehud reached with his left hand and pulled the dagger from his right thigh, and plunged it into the king’s belly.
22 Ket simrek pay ti putan ti kampilan kalpasan iti tademna, simmalput ti murdongna iti bukotna, ket tininep iti kinalukmegna ti tadem, ta saan nga inuksot ni Ehud ti kampilan manipud iti bagina.
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.
23 Kalpasanna, rimuar ni Ehud iti bangsal ket inrekepna dagiti ruangan iti akin-ngato a siled iti likudanna sana inkandado dagitoy.
Then Ehud left the room. He went out to the porch. He shut the doors to the room and locked them.
24 Idi nakapanaw ni Ehud, immay dagiti adipen ti ari; nakitada a nakakandado dagiti ruangan ti akin-ngato a siled, isu nga impagarupda, “Pudno nga agin-inana isuna iti kinalamiis iti akin-ngato a siled.”
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.”
25 Ad-adda a naseknanda agingga a nariknada a nabaybay-anda ti pagrebbenganda idi saan latta a linukatan ti ari dagiti ruangan ti akin-ngato a siled. Isu nga innalada ti tulbek ket linukatanda dagitoy, ket adda sadiay ti amoda a napasag iti suelo a natayen.
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.
26 Kabayatan nga agur-uray dagiti adipen, nga agpanpanunot no ania ti rumbeng nga aramidenda, naglibas ni Ehud ket limmabas iti lugar nga addaan kadagiti nakitikitan a ladawan dagiti didiosen, ket naglibas ngarud isuna a nagturong iti Seira.
Meanwhile, Ehud escaped. He passed by the stone carvings and arrived at Seirah, in the hilly area where the descendants of Ephraim lived.
27 Idi simmangpet isuna, pinagunina ti trumpeta idiay katurturodan a pagilian ti Efraim. Kalpasanna, kimmuyog kenkuana dagiti tattao ti Israel a sumalog manipud kadagiti turod, ket indadauloanna ida.
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.
28 Kinunana kadakuada, “Surotendak, ta dandanin parmeken ni Yahweh dagiti kabusoryo a Moabita.” Simmurotda kenkuana ket nasakupda dagiti pagballasiwan ti Jordan a batog dagiti Moabita, ket saanda nga impalubos a makaballasiw ti siasinoman iti karayan.
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].
29 Iti dayta a tiempo, napapatayda ti agarup sangapulo ribu a lallaki ti Moab, amin ket napigsa ken makabael a lallaki. Awan ti uray maysa a nakalibas.
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.
30 Isu nga iti dayta nga aldaw, naparmek ti Moab babaen iti bileg ti Israel. Ket naginana ti daga iti las-ud ti walo-pulo a tawen.
On that day, the Israelis conquered the people of Moab. Then there was peace in their land for 80 years.
31 Kalpasan ni Ehud, ti simmaruno nga ukom ket ni Samgar nga anak ni Anat, a nangpatay iti innem a gasut a lallaki ti Filistia babaen iti kayo a pagabug kadagiti baka. Inispalna pay ti Israel manipud iti peggad.
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).
