Mwet Nununku 3

1 Ke ma inge LEUM GOD El fuhlela tuh kutu mutunfacl in mutana in facl sac in srike mwet Israel su tia wi pulakin mweun in acn Canaan.

Now these are the nations which the LORD left, to prove Israel by them, even as many as had not known all the wars of Canaan;

2 El oru ouinge ke sripa sefanna, in luti kais sie fwil lun mwet Israel ke ouiyen mweun, ac yokna nu selos su soenna wi mweun.

only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as beforetime knew nothing thereof;

3 Mwet lula in acn we pa leum limekosr lun mwet Philistia, oayapa mwet Canaan ac mwet Sidon ac mwet Hiv su muta fineol uh in acn Lebanon, liki Fineol Baal Hermon lac nwe ke Innek In Utyak Nu Hamath.

namely, the five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Zidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baal-hermon unto the entrance of Hamath.

4 Ma inge orek nu sin mwet Israel in srikalos lah elos ac akos ma LEUM GOD El tuh sapkin nu sin mwet matu lalos ah, in pacl lal Moses.

And they were there, to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of the LORD, which He commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.

5 Na mwet Israel elos oakwuki muta inmasrlon mwet Canaan, mwet Hit, mwet Amor, mwet Hiv, mwet Periz, ac mwet Jebus.

And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites;

6 Mwet Israel elos payuk nu sin mwet inge ac alu nu sin god lalos.

and they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their own daughters to their sons, and served their gods.

7 Mwet Israel elos mulkunla LEUM GOD lalos. Elos orekma koluk ye mutal ac alu nu ke ma sruloala lal Baal ac Asherah.

And the children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgot the LORD their God, and served the Baalim and the Asheroth.

8 Ke ma inge, LEUM GOD El mutawauk in kasrkusrak sin mwet Israel, ac El lela tuh Tokosra Cushan Rishathaim lun acn Mesopotamia elan kutangulosla. Mwet Israel elos orekma nu sel yac oalkosr.

Therefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and He gave them over into the hand of Cushan-rishathaim king of Aram-naharaim; and the children of Israel served Cushan-rishathaim eight years.

9 Na mwet Israel elos wowoyak nu sin LEUM GOD, ac el supwala sie mwet in aksukosokyalos. Mwet se inge pa Othniel wen natul Kenaz, su tamulel srik lal Caleb.

And when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised up a saviour to the children of Israel, who saved them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.

10 Ngun lun LEUM GOD tuku nu fin mwet se inge, ac el mutawauk in kol mwet Israel. Ke Othniel el som mweun, LEUM GOD El sang kutangla nu sel fin tokosra lun mwet Mesopotamia.

And the spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war, and the LORD delivered Cushan-rishathaim king of Aram into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Cushan-rishathaim.

11 Oasr misla in facl Israel ke lusen yac angngaul, na Othniel el misa.

And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.

12 Mwet Israel elos sifilpa orekma koluk ye mutun LEUM GOD. Ke sripa se inge, LEUM GOD El oru tuh Tokosra Eglon lun Moab in ku liki mwet Israel.

And the children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done that which was evil in the sight of the LORD.

13 Tokosra Eglon el wi mwet Ammon ac mwet Amalek lain mwet Israel ac kutangulosla. Elos sruokya acn Jericho, su siti in sak palm.

And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek; and he went and smote Israel, and they possessed the city of palm-trees.

14 Mwet Israel elos orekma nu sel Tokosra Eglon yac singoul oalkosr.

And the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.

15 Na mwet Israel elos sifil wowoyak nu sin LEUM GOD, na El sifil supwala mwet se in molelosla. Mwet se inge pa Ehud, sie mwet lasa, wen natul Gera ke sruf lal Benjamin. Mwet Israel elos supwalla Ehud nu yorol Tokosra Eglon lun Moab, wi mwe takma nu sel.

But when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised them up a saviour, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a man left-handed; and the children of Israel sent a present by him unto Eglon the king of Moab.

16 Ehud el tuh sifacna orala cutlass se natul, fit se tafu lusa ac kosroh lac lac, ac el losya fin pupal layen layot ye nuknuk lal uh.

And Ehud made him a sword which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he girded it under his raiment upon his right thigh.

17 Na el us mwe takma ac som nu yorol Tokosra Eglon, su sie mwet na fact.

And he offered the present unto Eglon king of Moab — now Eglon was a very fat man.

18 Ke Ehud el sang mwe takma nu sel Tokosra Eglon tari, na el fahk nu sin mwet ma us ma inge ah in folokla nu acn selos.

And when he had made an end of offering the present, he sent away the people that bore the present.

19 Ac Ehud el welulos, na ke elos sun eot tufahlla ekasr apkuran nu Gilgal, Ehud mukena el forla folok nu yorol Eglon ac fahk, “O Tokosra, oasr sie kas lukma nga ke fahk nu sum.” Na tokosra sac fahk nu sin mwet kulansap lal, “Kowos illa!” Na mwet lal inge kewa tufoki.

But he himself turned back from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said: 'I have a secret errand unto thee, O king.' And he said: 'Keep silence.' And all that stood by him went out from him.

20 Ke tokosra sac mukena muta ke infukil oyohu se fin lohm sel ah, Ehud el kalukyang nu yorol ac fahk, “Oasr kas sin God me yuruk in fahk nu sum.” Na tokosra el tuyak.

And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting by himself alone in his cool upper chamber. And Ehud said: 'I have a message from God unto thee.' And he arose out of his seat.

21 Ehud el faisak cutlass natul ah ke lac paol lasa liki pupal layot, ac kaskeang nu insien tokosra.

And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly.

22 Cutlass sac wi fung ah tilyang nu insial tokosra, ac kiris uh nokomla nufon. Ehud el tiana faesla cutlass sac lukel, ac mutun cutlass sac sasla fonohl.

And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, for he drew not the sword out of his belly; and it came out behind.

23 Na Ehud el tufokla nu lik ac kaliya srungul uh ac lakiya,

Then Ehud went forth into the porch, and shut the doors of the upper chamber upon him, and locked them.

24 na el som. Ke mwet kulansap elos tuku ac liye tuh srungul uh kaul ac lak, elos nunku mu tokosra el oasr na in lohm fahsr ah.

Now when he was gone out, his servants came; and they saw, and, behold, the doors of the upper chamber were locked; and they said: 'Surely he is covering his feet in the cabinet of the cool chamber.'

25 Mwet inge mutana soano nwe arulana pahtlac. Na ke tokosra sac tiana ikasla srungul uh, elos use key uh sang ikasla, ac elos liye tuh leum lalos el misa oan fin falful uh.

And they tarried till they were ashamed; and, behold, he opened not the doors of the upper chamber; therefore they took the key, and opened them; and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth.

26 Ehud el kaingla ke pacl se mwet inge srakna muta soano in ikakla. El som alukela eot tufahlla ekasr ah, ac kaingla nu Seirah.

And Ehud escaped while they lingered, having passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Seirah.

27 Ke el sun fineol uh in facl Ephraim, el ukya mwe ukuk in pangoneni mwet Israel nu ke mweun. El kololos ac tufoki fineol uh me.

And it came to pass, when he was come, that he blew a horn in the hill-country of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the hill-country, and he before them.

28 El fahk nu selos, “Fahsr tukuk! LEUM GOD El sot kutangla nu suwos fin mwet lokoalok lowos, mwet Moab.” Na elos tufoki ac fahsr tokol Ehud, ac elos sruokya acn se ma mwet Moab elos muta we ac akola in tupalla Infacl Jordan. Elos tia lela siefanna mwet in alukela infacl ah.

And he said unto them: 'Follow after me; for the LORD hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand.' And they went down after him, and took the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites, and suffered not a man to pass over.

29 Pisen mwet elos uniya ke len sac sun akuran singoul tausin mwet mweun su ku emeet lun mwet Moab. Wangin sie selos kaingla.

And they smote of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, every lusty man, and every man of valour; and there escaped not a man.

30 In len sac mwet Israel kutangla mwet Moab, ac oasr misla in facl Israel ke lusen yac oalngoul.

So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest fourscore years.

31 Mwet kol se tok an pa Shamgar, wen natul Anath. El wi pac molela mwet Israel, ke el sang sak kosroh muta soko mwe lillil kosro ox, ac uniya mwet Philistia onfoko.

And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who smote of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox-goad; and he also saved Israel.
