Abahluleli 3
1 Nanzi izizwe ezatshiywa nguThixo ukuze abahlole bonke abako-Israyeli ababengazibonanga izimpi eKhenani
namtom rhoek khaw Kanaan kah caemtloek pakhat khaw aka ming pawh Israel boeih te noemcai ham ni BOEIPA loh a hlun.
2 (wenza lokhu ukuba azifundise izizukulwane zako-Israyeli ukulwiwa kwezimpi lezo ezazingazange zikubone ukulwa ngaphambilini):
Te daengah ni a mikhmuh ah caemtloek aka ming pawh Israel ca rhoek ka cadilcahma loh caemtloek a cang ham te a ming eh.
3 ababusi abahlanu bamaFilistiya, amaKhenani wonke, amaSidoni, lamaHivi ahlala ezintabeni zaseLebhanoni kusukela eNtabeni iBhali-Hemoni kusiya eLebho Hamathi.
Te vaengah Philisti boei panga neh Kanaan boeih Baalhermon tlang lamloh Lebokhamath duela Lebanon tlang ah kho aka sa Sidoni neh Khivee rhoek te khaw,
4 Babetshiyelwe ukuhlola abako-Israyeli ukuba kubonakale ukuthi bayayilalela na imilayo kaThixo, ayeyinike okhokho babo ngoMosi.
BOEIPA kah olpaek te a yaak uh nim? Te nen te noemcai ham tih Israel te ming sak ham om coeng. Te te Moses kut lamloh a napa rhoek a uen coeng.
5 Abako-Israyeli babehlala phakathi kwamaKhenani, lamaHithi, lama-Amori, lamaPherizi, lamaHivi kanye lamaJebusi.
Te dongah Isreal ca rhoek loh Kanaan kah Khitti, Amori Perizzi, Khivee neh Jebusi lakli ah kho a sak uh.
6 Bathatha amadodakazi awo aba ngomkabo njalo bendisela amadodakazi abo emadodaneni awo, bakhonza labonkulunkulu bawo.
Amih nu te a yuu la a loh uh tih a ca rhoek te amih Kanaan nu te a paek uh dongah amih kah sungrhai taengah tho a thueng uh.
7 Abako-Israyeli benza okubi emehlweni kaThixo; bamkhohlwa uThixo uNkulunkulu wabo bakhonza oBhali labo-Ashera.
Te vaengkah Israel ca rhoek BOEIPA mikhmuh ah thae a saii uh tih BOEIPA a Pathen te a hnilh uh dongah Baal neh Asherah te tho a thueng thiluh.
8 Ulaka lukaThixo lwavuthela abako-Israyeli waze wabanikela ezandleni zikaKhushani-Rishathayimi inkosi yase-Aramu Naharayimu, lapho abantu bako-Israyeli ababangaphansi kombuso wayo iminyaka eyisificaminwembili.
Te vaengah BOEIPA kah thintoek Israel taengah sai. Te dongah amih te Aramnaharaim manghai Kushanrishathaim kut ah a yoih tih Israel ca rhoek te Kushanrishathaim taengah kum rhet thotat uh.
9 Kodwa ekukhaleni kwabo kuThixo, wabalethela umhlengi, u-Othiniyeli indodana kaKhenazi, umnawakhe kaKhalebi, owabakhululayo.
Tedae Israel ca rhoek te BOEIPA taengah pang uh tih Israel ca rhoek ham khangkung te BOEIPA loh a thoh pah. Te vaengah Kaleb amah lakah aka noe, a mana Kenaz capa Othniel loh amih te a khang.
10 Umoya kaThixo wehlela kuye, wasesiba ngumahluleli wako-Israyeli waya empini. UThixo wanikela uKhushani-Rishathayimi inkosi ye-Aramu ezandleni zika-Othiniyeli, wamnqoba.
Anih te BOEIPA Mueihla loh a om thil dongah Israel ham lai a tloek pah. Caemtloek la a caeh vaengah Aram manghai Kushanrishathaim te anih kut ah BOEIPA loh a paek. Te dongah a kut te Kushanrishathaim soah taenglue.
11 Ngakho ilizwe laba lokuthula iminyaka engamatshumi amane, u-Othiniyeli indodana kaKhenazi waze wafa.
Te dongah khohmuen he kum sawmli mong tih Kenaz capa Othniel khaw duek.
12 Abako-Israyeli baphinda benza okubi emehlweni kaThixo, kwathi ngenxa yokuthi babenze lobububi uThixo wanika u-Egiloni inkosi yaseMowabi amandla phezu kuka-Israyeli.
Tedae BOEIPA mikhmuh ah thae saii ham Israel ca rhoek loh a khoep uh tih BOEIPA mikhmuh ah thae a saii uh dongah Israel soah Moab manghai Eglon te BOEIPA loh a tanglue sak.
13 Esenze ama-Amoni lama-Amaleki amanyana laye, u-Egiloni wayahlasela u-Israyeli, basebethumba idolobho laMalala.
Te vaengah Ammon neh Amalek koca rhoek tah anih taengla kibaeng uh. Israel te a paan tih a tloek dongah rhophoe khopuei te a huul uh.
14 Abako-Israyeli babangaphansi kombuso ka-Egiloni inkosi yaseMowabi iminyaka elitshumi layisificaminwembili.
Te dongah Isreal ca rhoek te Moab manghai Eglon taengah kum hlai rhet thotat uh.
15 Abako-Israyeli bakhala futhi kuThixo, wasebapha umhlengi u-Ehudi, indoda eyayilinxele indodana kaGera owakoBhenjamini. Abako-Israyeli bamthuma lesipho ku-Egiloni inkosi yaseMowabi.
Israel ca rhoek loh BOEIPA te a pang thil uh vaengah amih ham khangkung la Benjamin koca, Gera capa Ehud te, BOEIPA loh a thoh pah. Anih te bantang kut aka poem hlang ni. Te dongah Israel ca rhoek loh anih kut dongah Moab manghai Eglon ham khocang a pat uh.
16 U-Ehudi wayenze inkemba esika inxa zombili eyayingaba yingalo lengxenye ubude bayo, ayibophela ethangazini lakhe lwesokudla ngaphansi kwezigqoko zakhe.
Te vaengah Ehud amah ham cunghang a saii tih a ha rhaepnit neh a sen dongkhat lo. Te te a himbai khui kah a bantang phai la a kaelh.
17 Wasethula isipho ku-Egiloni inkosi yaseMowabi, owayengumuntu oqatha kakhulu.
Moab manghai Eglon taengla khocang a thak vaengah Eglon a sak hoeng paduk la om.
18 Emva kokuba u-Ehudi esesethule isipho, walaya abantu ababesithwele ukuba bazihambele.
Khocang nawn ham te bawt a coeng phoeiah khocang aka phuei pilnam te a tueih.
19 Ezithombeni eduze leGiligali yena uqobo wabuyela emuva, wathi, “Oh nkosi, ngilelizwi lakho eliyimfihlo.” Inkosi yathi, “Thula!” Zonke izikhonzi zayo zasuka kuyo.
Tedae amah te tah Gilgal kah mueidaep ah bal tih “Manghai nang ham kai taengah yinhnuk ol om,” a ti nah. Te dongah manghai loh, “Saah lah,” a ti nah tih a taengkah aka pai boeih te anih taeng lamloh nong uh.
20 U-Ehudi wayilanda isihlezi yodwa ekamelweni langaphezulu elipholileyo endlini yayo yobukhosi wathi, “Ngilelizwi lakho elivela kuNkulunkulu.” Kwathi inkosi isukuma esihlalweni sayo,
Te dongah nohung imhman ah amah bueng a ngol vaengah Ehud loh a paan. Te phoeiah Ehud loh, “Nang hamla kai taengah Pathen kah olka om,” a ti nah. Te vaengah ngolkhoel dong lamloh thoo.
21 u-Ehudi wafinyelela ngesandla sakhe senxele, wahwatsha inkemba ethangazini lakhe kwesokudla wayithela esiswini senkosi.
Ehud loh banvoei kut te a yueng phoeiah a bantang phai kaep kah cunghang a loh tih manghai kah a bung khuila a thun pah.
22 Inkemba yatshona yasala ngesilanda, amathumbu akhe agcwala phansi. U-Ehudi kayingcothulanga inkemba, idanga layemboza.
Te vaengah thihna hnukah a tueng pataeng khaw muelh. A bung lamkah cunghang te a bong pah pawt dongah thiha te a tha loh a yol tih a aek khaw coe.
23 U-Ehudi waphuma phandle, wavala iminyango yekamelo langaphezulu wayihluthulela.
Ehud te imkawt la cet imhman thohkhaih te a hnukah khoep a dan tih a kalh.
24 Esehambile kweza izinceku zathola iminyango yekamelo langaphezulu ihluthulelwe. Zathi, “Kutsho ukuthi iye ngaphandle ekamelweni elingaphakathi kwendlu.”
Anih a caeh phoei daengah manghai sal rhoek te ha pawk uh hatah imhman thohkhaih khoep a kalh uh te lawt a hmuh uh. Te dongah, “Nohung imhman ah a kho a khuk pueng muema “a ti uh.
25 Zalinda zaze zakhathazeka, kodwa ngoba ingasavulanga iminyango yekamelo lelo, zathatha ikhiye zayivula. Lapho-ke zabona inkosi yazo iwele phansi, isifile.
A yah duela a rhing uh dae imhman thohkhaih te ong tarha pawh. Te dongah cabi a loh uh tih a ong uh hatah a boei te diklai ah a duek la tarha ana yalh pah.
26 Zisalindile, u-Ehudi wasuka wahamba. Wedlula eduzane lezithombe wabalekela eSeyira.
Amih a uelh uh vaengah Ehud tah vawl loeih. Te dongah anih tah mueidaep rhoek te a poeng tih Seirah duela loeih.
27 Esefike lapho wakhalisa icilongo elizweni lezintaba lako-Efrayimi, abako-Israyeli basebesehla laye ezintabeni, yena ebakhokhele.
A pha van neh Ephraim tlang ah tuki a ueng. Te vaengah tlang lamkah Israel ca rhoek tah anih taengla suntla uh. Tedae anih te amih hmai la om coeng.
28 Wabalaya wathi, “Ngilandelani, ngoba uThixo usenikele uMowabi, isitha senu, ezandleni zenu.” Ngakho behlela laye phansi bemlandela, kwathi sebethumbe amazibuko eJodani ayewelela eMowabi, kabaze bavumela muntu ukuba achaphele ngaphetsheya.
Te phoeiah Ehud loh amih te “Na thunkha Moab te BOEIPA loh nangmih kut dongla m'paek coeng dongah kai hnuk han hloem uh,” a ti nah. Te dongah anih hnukah suntla uh tih Moab te Jordan lamkai ah a tuuk uh tih hlang pakhat khaw kat sak ham pae uh pawh.
29 Ngalesosikhathi babulala amaMowabi ayengaba zinkulungwane ezilitshumi, wonke ayeqinile elamandla; akukho muntu owaphunyukayo.
Te vaeng tue kah Moab a tloek te hlang rhalh boeih neh tatthai hlang boeih te thawng rha tluk lo tih hlang pakhat khaw loeih sak pawh.
30 Ngalolosuku iMowabi yanqotshwa yi-Israyeli, ilizwe laselisiba lokuthula iminyaka engamatshumi ayisificaminwembili.
Te khohnin ah Moab loh Israel kut hmuiah kunyun sut tih khohmuen loh kum sawmrhet khuiah mong.
31 Emva kuka-Ehudi kwaba loShamigari indodana ka-Anathi owabulala amaFilistiya angamakhulu ayisithupha ngesijujo senkabi. Laye wamkhulula u-Israyeli.
Ehud phoeiah tah Anath capa Shamgar om tih Philisti hlang ya rhuk neh vaito ciksum te a tloek phoeiah Israel te khaw a khang.
