1 Jerub-baal (Gideon tina) leh asepaite matah in athouvun Herod tuinah chan geiyin ache tauvin ahi. Midian sepaite chu amaho sahlang Moreh lhang komma phaichamma ngahmun ana kisem un ahi.
And Jerobaal rose early, the same is Gedeon, and all the people with him, and encamped at the fountain of Arad; and the camp of Madiam was to the north of him, [reaching] from Gabaathamorai, in the valley.
2 Pakaiyin Gideon komma aseijin, “Nangin galsat ding mi natam pui behseh e. Keiman nabonchauvin Midiante gal nasatsah’u leng, Israel miten keiho thahatna'a kakihuhdoh u ahi, tin Keima dounan hung kiletsah get’un nate,
And the Lord said to Gedeon, The people with thee [are] many, so that I may not deliver Madiam into their hand, lest at any time Israel boast against me, saying, My hand has saved me.
3 Hijeh chun mipite jah achun koi hileh kichatna neiho sesen hiche mol hi dalhau henlang aincheh uva che taohen tin seipeh in,” ati. Hitichun alah uva sangsomni le sangni chu inlanga acheuvin, galsat ding ngapcha a mi sangsom bou adalha tauvin ahi.
And now speak in the ears of the people, saying, Who [is] afraid and fearful? let him turn and depart from mount Galaad: and there returned of the people twenty-two thousand, and ten thousand were left.
4 Ahin Pakaiyin Gideon aseipeh kit’in, “Tunjong atambehseh nalaiye hijeh chun donding twikhuh a puisuh inlang hiche munna chn keiman nache khompi ding hole nache khompi louding miho kahi lhenkhen ding ahi,” ati.
And the Lord said to Gedeon, The people is yet numerous; bring them down to the water, and I will purge them there for thee: and it shall come to pass that of whomsoever I shall say to thee, This one shall go with thee, [even] he shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I shall say to thee, This one shall not go with thee, [even] he shall not go with thee.
5 Gideon mipiho chu twikhuh phunga apuisuh phatnin Pakaiyin hitin ahi seipeh in ahi, “Mipi hochu loi-ni in hom khen inlang loikhat chu akhut nia twi soh a uicha banga aleija le tho ho hiding, loikhat chu akhupma dilsua amuh a chiptho ho hiding ahi,” ati.
And he brought the people down to the water; and the Lord said to Gedeon, Whosoever shall lap of the water with his tongue as if a dog should lap, thou shalt set him apart, and [also] whosoever shall bow down upon his knees to drink.
6 Mi jathum’in bou akhut tenia kon in adontho uvin ahi. Adang sechun akhupmin adilsu uvin amuh in achip thou vin ahi.
And the number of those that lapped with their hand to their mouth was three hundred men; and all the rest of the people bowed upon their knees to drink water.
7 Pakaiyin Gideon kommah ahin seijin, “Hiche mi jathum hohi kipui’in Keiman nahuhdoh ingting Midian hochu naga joding’u ahi, midang ho jouse chu ainlang cheh uva sultan,” ati.
And the Lord said to Gedeon, I will save you by the three hundred men that lapped, and I will give Madiam into thy hand; and all the [rest of the] people shall go every one to his place.
8 Hijeh chun Gideonin midangho nehleh chah chuleh saki sumkon apoh houchu achomkhom’in, hitichun adangho sechu ainlanga asoltan ahi. Amavang mi jathum bouseh chutoh aumtan ahi. Midian hochun Gideon umna noi phaichamma chun ngahmun asem tauvin ahi.
And they took the provision of the people in their hand, and their horns; and he sent away every man of Israel each to his tent, and he strengthened the three hundred; and the army of Madiam were beneath him in the valley.
9 Hiche jan chun Pakaiyin hitin aseije, “Kipatnin lang Midian ngahmunna gachesuh in, ajeh chu amaho chunga hi galjona kamusah ding nahi!
And it came to pass in that night that the Lord said to him, Arise, go down into the camp, for I have delivered it into thy hand.
10 Ahinlah amaho gasat inghy nakichat’a ahileh nalhacha Purah chu kipuijin angahmun uvah gachesuh lhonnin,
And if thou art afraid to go down, go down thou and thy servant Phara into the camp.
11 Midianten ipi aseijuvam ga ngailhi lechun nangma nakitilkhou chomlheh ding ahi, hiteng chuleh nangin amaho gasat dingchu ngapcha tan nate,” ati. Hijeh chun Gideonin Purah chu akipuijin galmiho ngahmun komcha achun achesuh lhontan ahi.
And thou shalt hear what they shall say, and afterwards thy hands shall be strong, and thou shalt go down into the camp: and he went down and Phara his servant to the extremity of the [companies of] fifty, which were in the camp.
12 Midian mite le Amalek mite chuleh solam mite epia hochu hiche phaichamma chun khaokhote alomchang lah bangin atam atam anapansauvin ahi. Asangan houjong chu twikhanglen panga neldi jat bangin simma simjoulou jat anaphauvin ahi.
And Madiam and Amalec and all the children of the east [were] scattered in the valley, as the locust for multitude; and there was no number to their camels, but they were as the sand on the seashore for multitude.
13 Alah uva mikhat chun aloipa kommah amang ahinseijin ahileh Gideon chun hichu ajahphah nading in agah kithol lut in ahi. Hichepa chun hitin ahin seije, “Keiman mangkhat kana neijin kamang’a chun sakol chaang a kisem changlhah lumkhat Midiante ponbuh geiyin ahung kilih suhpeh’in, hichun ponbuh hi ahin tat-khan akhup athallin akileh jengin chujouvin akiphamat deh jengin ahi!” ati.
And Gedeon came, and behold a man [was] relating to his neighbour a dream, and he said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream, and behold, a cake of barley bread rolling into the camp of Madiam, and it came as far as a tent, and smote it, and it fell, and it turned it up, and the tent fell.
14 Hichun aloipa chun hitin adonbutnin, “Namangchun thilkhat adoi aume Pathen’in Israel mi Joash chapa Gideon hi Midian mite le apankhompi hojouse chung’a hi galjona apeh ahitai!” ati.
And his neighbour answered and said, This is none other than the sword of Gedeon, son of Joas, a man of Israel: God has delivered Madiam and all the host into his hand.
15 Gideon in hiche mangle akiledohna thucheng chu jah phatnin Pakai ang’a abohkhup in chibai abohtan ahi. Hiche jouchun Israel te ngahmun’ah ahung kilekit in kho asamtan ahi, “Kipatdoh un Pakaiyin Midian mite le akiloikhompi chengse chung’a hi galjona eipeh u ahitai!” ati.
And it came to pass when Gedeon heard the account of the dream and the interpretation of it, that he worshipped the Lord, and returned to the camp of Israel, and said, Rise, for the Lord has delivered the camp of Madiam into our hand.
16 Hitichun Gideonin a epia jathum chu loi thum'in ahomin mikhatcheh chu saki sumkon khatcheh leh leibel khat cheh asunga meisel umcheh toh apetha in ahi.
And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and put horns in the hands of all, and empty pitchers, and torches in the pitchers:
17 Hichejou chun Gideonin ajah uvah hitin aseije, “Namit teniuvin keiman neihinve jingun, amaho ngahmun kom kalhun tengleh keiman kabol bol hinbollun,
and he said to them, Ye shall look at me, and so shall ye do; and behold, I will go into the beginning of the host, and it shall come to pass [that] as I do, so shall ye do.
18 Kei le kalhonpi kaloihon saki sumkon kahin mut tenguleh, ngahmun kimvel jousea kona nanghon jong sumkon nahin mutsoh keiyuva nahoh diu, ‘Pakai ding le Gideon din’ tin hinsam cheh un!” ati.
And I will sound with the horn, and all ye with me shall sound with the horn round about the whole camp, and ye shall say, For the Lord and Gedeon.
19 Jan khangkim jou panmun ngahho kikheljou pettah chun Gibeon leh aloi mi jakhat chu Midiante ngahmun komcha chu agalhung tauvin ahi. Photlot tah’in amahon saki sumkon chu amut un leibel chu avokeh tauvin ahi.
And Gedeon and the hundred men that were with him came to the extremity of the army in the beginning of the middle watch; and they completely roused the guards, and sounded with the horns, and they broke the pitchers that were in their hands,
20 Hiche jouchun loithum ho cheng chun asumkon cheh u amut’un aleibel cheh u jong avokeh tauvin ahi. Amahon ameisellu kong leiloi chu akhut veilammin achoijun chuleh jetlangin asumkon uchu achoijun ahoh cheh un, “Pakai chemjam dingleh Gideon dingin” tin hasap in asam un ahi.
and the three companies sounded with the horns, and broke the pitchers, and held the torches in their left hands, and in their right hands their horns to sound with; and they cried out, A sword for the Lord and for Gedeon.
21 Ngahmun kimvella chun abonchauvin ama ama dinmun cheh a chun dettah in adingun ahileh, Midian mite chu tijatah'in apentoh akatoh ajamtoh atho tauvin ahi.
And [every] man stood in his place round about the host; and all the host ran, and sounded [an alarm], and fled.
22 Israel mi jathum’in saki sumkon chu amutcheh phat’un Pakaiyin ngahmun sunga um galsat dia kigong mi hochu achemjam un amahole amaho akisatto sah tan ahi. Akisat lihlou chengse chu Zererah kom Beth-shittah changeileh Tabbath kom Abel-meholah gamgi geijin ajamlut tauvin ahi.
And they sounded with the three hundred horns; and the Lord set [every] man's sword in all the host against his neighbour.
23 Hijouchun Gideonin, Nephtali le Asher chuleh Manasseh sepaiho akoukhomin Midian mite gal jamho chu adelpeh un ahi.
And the host fled as far as Bethseed Tagaragatha Abel-meula to Tabath; and the men of Israel from Nephthali, and from Aser, and from all Manasse, came to help, and followed after Madiam.
24 Gideonin Ephraim thinglhang gamsung muntinna thupole ho asollin hiti hin aga seisah in ahi, “Hung konsuh unlang Midiante hung satnun Beth-barah mun Jordan vadung paltan namun nah amahohi hungting tan’un,” ati. Hijeh chun Ephraim mite jousen akisei bangin atongdoh soh keijun ahi.
And Gedeon sent messengers into all mount Ephraim, saying, Come down to meet Madiam, and take to yourselves the water as far as Baethera and Jordan: and every man of Ephraim cried out, and they took the water before hand unto Baethera and Jordan.
25 Amahon, Midian mite gal lamkaiteni Oreb le Zeeb chu amannun, Oreb chu Oreb songpi munnah athatnun chuleh Zeeb chu Zeeb lengpithei hehna munnah athatnun ahi. Chuleh Midiante chu ana nung adelpeh peh’un ahi. Hiche jouchun Israel ten Oreb leh Zeeb luchang teni chu Jordan vadung gal lama Gideon kommah chun ahinpo lut un ahi.
And they took the princess of Madiam, even Oreb and Zeb; and they slew Oreb in Sur Oreb, and they slew Zeb in Jakephzeph; and they pursued Madiam, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeb to Gedeon from beyond Jordan.
