Judges 3
1 Àwọn wọ̀nyí ni àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí Olúwa fi sílẹ̀ láti dán àwọn ìran tuntun ní Israẹli wò, àwọn ìran tí kò ì tí ì ní ìrírí ogun àwọn ará Kenaani.
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 (Ó ṣe èyí láti fi kọ́ àwọn ìran Israẹli tí kò rí ogun rí níbí a ti ṣe ń jagun).
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 Àwọn ìjòyè ìlú Filistini márààrún, gbogbo àwọn ará Kenaani, àwọn ará Sidoni, àti àwọn ará Hifi tí ń gbé ní àwọn òkè Lebanoni bẹ̀rẹ̀ láti òkè Baali-Hermoni títí dé Lebo-Hamati.
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 A fi àwọn ènìyàn náà sílẹ̀ láti dán àwọn Israẹli wò bóyá wọn yóò gbọ́rọ̀ sí àwọn òfin Olúwa, èyí tí ó ti fi fún àwọn baba wọn láti ipasẹ̀ Mose.
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 Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli gbé láàrín àwọn ará Kenaani, àwọn ará Hiti àwọn ará Amori, àwọn ará Peresi, àwọn ará Hifi àti àwọn ará Jebusi.
And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites;
6 Dípò kí wọ́n run àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí, Israẹli ń fẹ́ àwọn ọmọbìnrin wọn, wọ́n sì ń fi àwọn ọmọbìnrin Israẹli fún àwọn ará ilẹ̀ náà ní aya, wọ́n sì ń sin àwọn òrìṣà wọn.
and they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their own daughters to their sons, and served their gods.
7 Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì ṣe èyí tí ó burú níwájú Olúwa, wọ́n gbàgbé Olúwa Ọlọ́run wọn, wọ́n sì ń sin Baali àti Aṣerah.
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 Ìbínú Olúwa sì ru sí Israẹli tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ó fi jẹ́ kí Kuṣani-Riṣataimu ọba Aramu-Naharaimu bá wọn jà kí ó sì ṣẹ́gun wọn, Israẹli sì ṣe ẹrú rẹ̀ fún ọdún mẹ́jọ.
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 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí Israẹli kígbe sí Olúwa, Òun gbé olùgbàlà kan dìde fún wọn, ẹni náà ni Otnieli ọmọ Kenasi àbúrò Kalebu tí ó jẹ́ ọkùnrin, ẹni tí ó gbà wọ́n sílẹ̀.
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 Ẹ̀mí Olúwa bà lé e, òun sì ṣe ìdájọ́ Israẹli, ó sì síwájú wọn lọ sí ogun. Olúwa sì fi Kuṣani-Riṣataimu ọba Aramu lé Otnieli lọ́wọ́, ẹni tí ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sì borí Kuṣani-Riṣataimu.
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 Ilẹ̀ náà sì wà ní àlàáfíà fún ogójì ọdún títí tí Otnieli ọmọ Kenasi sì kú.
And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
12 Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì tún padà sí ìwà ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn, wọ́n sì ṣe èyí tí ó burú ní iwájú Olúwa, fún ìdí iṣẹ́ búburú yìí, Olúwa fún Egloni, ọba àwọn Moabu ní agbára ní orí Israẹli.
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 Pẹ̀lú ìfi ọwọ́ ṣowọ́pọ̀ ogun àwọn Ammoni àti àwọn ọmọ-ogun Amaleki ní Egloni gbógun ti àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, wọ́n sì gba ìlú Ọ̀pẹ tí i se Jeriko.
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 Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì sin Egloni ọba Moabu fún ọdún méjìdínlógún.
And the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
15 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí Israẹli tún ké pe Olúwa, Olúwa rán olùgbàlà kan sí wọn, Ehudu ẹni tí ń lo ọwọ́ òsì, ọmọ Gera ti ẹ̀yà Benjamini. Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli fi ẹ̀bùn rán sí Egloni ọba Moabu.
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 Ehudu sì rọ idà kan olójú méjì, ìgbọ̀nwọ́ kan ní gígùn; òun sì sán an ní abẹ́ aṣọ rẹ̀ ní itan rẹ̀ ọ̀tún.
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 Ó sì mú ọrẹ náà wá fún Egloni ọba Moabu, Egloni ẹni tí ó sanra púpọ̀.
And he offered the present unto Eglon king of Moab — now Eglon was a very fat man.
18 Lẹ́yìn tí Ehudu ti fi ẹ̀bùn náà fún ọba tan, ó rán àwọn tí ó kó ẹrú náà wá lọ sí ọ̀nà wọn.
And when he had made an end of offering the present, he sent away the people that bore the present.
19 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí òun fúnra rẹ̀ dé ibi ère fínfín tí ó wà létí Gilgali, ó padà sí Egloni, ó sì wí pé, “Ọba, mo ní ọ̀rọ̀ àṣírí láti bá ọ sọ.” Ọba sì wí pé, “Ẹ dákẹ́!” Gbogbo àwọn tí ń ṣọ sì jáde síta kúrò ní ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀.
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 Ehudu lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ níbi tí ó ti jókòó ní iyàrá ìtura rẹ̀, Ehudu sì wí fún un pé, “Mo ní ọ̀rọ̀ kan fún ọ láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run.” Bí ọba sì ti dìde ní orí ìtẹ́ rẹ̀,
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 Ehudu fi ọwọ́ òsì rẹ̀ yọ idà láti ibi itan ọ̀tún rẹ̀ ó sì fi gún ọba nínú ikùn rẹ̀.
And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly.
22 Àti idà àti èèkù rẹ̀ sì wọlé ó sì yọ ní ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀. Ehudu kò yọ idà náà, ọ̀rá sì bo idà náà.
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 Ehudu ti àwọn ìlẹ̀kùn ní àtì-sínú òun sì bá yàrá òkè jáde, ó sì sálọ.
Then Ehud went forth into the porch, and shut the doors of the upper chamber upon him, and locked them.
24 Lẹ́yìn tí ó ti lọ àwọn ìránṣẹ́ ọba dé, ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí wọ́n rí ìlẹ̀kùn yàrá òkè ní títì, wọ́n rò pé, “Bóyá ó wà ní ilé ìyàgbẹ́ ní yàrá nínú ilé.”
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 Nígbà tí wọ́n dúró dé ibi pé ó jẹ́ ìyanu fún wọn, wọ́n mú kọ́kọ́rọ́, wọ́n sì ṣí ìlẹ̀kùn. Níbẹ̀ ni wọ́n ti rí Olúwa wọn tí ó ti ṣubú, ó sì ti kú.
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 Nígbà tí wọ́n dúró tí wọn sì ń retí, Ehudu ti sálọ. Ó ti gba ibi tí wọ́n ti ń gbẹ́ òkúta lére, ó sì sálọ sí Seira.
And Ehud escaped while they lingered, having passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Seirah.
27 Nígbà tí ó dé ibẹ̀, ó fọn ìpè ní orí òkè Efraimu, àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì ba sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ láti òkè náà wá, òun sì wà níwájú wọn.
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 Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ máa tẹ̀lé mi, nítorí Olúwa ti fi Moabu ọ̀tá yín lé yín lọ́wọ́.” Wọ́n sì tẹ̀lé e, wọ́n sì gba ìwọdò Jordani tí ó lọ sí ilẹ̀ Moabu, wọn ò jẹ́ kí ẹnikẹ́ni kọjá.
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 Ní báyìí, wọ́n ti pa tó ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́wàá ọkùnrin ará Moabu tí wọ́n jẹ́ alágbára àti onígboyà ènìyàn, kò sí ènìyàn tí ó sálà.
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 Ní ọjọ́ náà ni Israẹli ṣẹ́gun àwọn ará Moabu, ilẹ̀ náà sì wà ní àlàáfíà fún ọgọ́rin ọdún.
So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest fourscore years.
31 Lẹ́yìn Ehudu, ni Ṣamgari ọmọ Anati ẹni tí ó pa ẹgbẹ̀ta Filistini pẹ̀lú ọ̀pá tí a fi ń da akọ màlúù, òun pẹ̀lú sì gba Israẹli kúrò nínú ìpọ́njú.
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.
