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 [of Israel] 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 before knew nothing of it; )

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], five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt on mount Lebanon, from mount Baal-hermon to 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 to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken to 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, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and 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 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 evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgot the LORD their God, and served Baalim, and the groves.

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 hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Chushan-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 to the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered 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 went out to war: and the LORD delivered Chushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushan-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 did evil again in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done 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 to him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm-trees.

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

So 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 to the LORD, the LORD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjaminite, a man left-handed: and by him the children of Israel sent a present to Eglon 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.

But Ehud made him a dagger 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 brought the present to Eglon king of Moab: and 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 to offer 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 again from the quarries that [were] by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand to thee, O king: who 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 to him; and he was sitting in a summer-parlor, which he had for himself alone: and Ehud said, I have a message from God to thee. And he arose from [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 dagger 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 entered after the blade: and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out.

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

Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlor 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.

When he had gone out, his servants came; and when they saw that, behold, the doors of the parlor [were] locked, they said, Surely he covereth his feet in his summer-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 parlor, therefore they took a key and opened [them]: and behold, their lord lay 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 tarried; and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped to Seirath.

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 had come, that he blew a trumpet in the mountain of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the mount, 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 to them, Follow me: for the LORD hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of Jordan towards Moab, 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 slew of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all lusty, and all men of valor: 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 eighty 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 slew of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox-goad; and he also delivered Israel.
