< Judges 3 >

1 And these are the nations that Jehovah left, to prove Israel by them, all that had not known all the wars of Canaan;
Hiche nam hohi Canaan mite kisatna–a anapang khalou, Israelte patepna dinga Pakaiyin gamsunga anadalhah hochu ahi.
2 only that the generations of the children of Israel might know war by learning it, at the least those who before had known nothing thereof:
Aman hiche hi galsatji hekhalou lai Israel khangthah ho galsatje akithem chuhna diuva abol ahi.
3 five lord ships of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwell on mount Lebanon; from mount Baal-Hermon unto the entering into Hamath.
Hiche nam hochu Philistine’te (Phillistine vaipo nga ho noiya cheng hochu ahiuve), Canaan mite jouse, Sidon mite chule Baal-hermon mol apat Lebo-hamath changeiya kijam lhungpeh Lebanon mol chunga cheng Hiv mite ahiuve.
4 And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would obey the commandments of Jehovah, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
Pakaiyin Mose mangchan apu apateu thupeh anapeh hochu, Israel mite hin anit uvem anitlou uham? Ti hetna dinga hiche mipite hohi ana dalhah ahi.
5 And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites: Hittites and Amorites and Perizzites and Hivites and Jebusites;
Hiti chun Israel tehi Canaan mite, Hit mite, Amor mite, Periz mite, Hiv mite chuleh Jebus mite lah'a cheng ahiuvin,
6 and they took their daughters as wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.
chuleh amaho toh akicheng touvin, Israel chapaten amaho chanu teho akichen piuvin, chule Israel chanute chu amaho chapate toh kicheng ding in ana peuvin ahi. Hiti chun Israelten amaho pathen ho chu ajenle tauve.
7 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and forgot Jehovah their God, and served the Baals and the Asherahs.
Israelten Pakai mitmun thilse jeng anabol tauvin, amahon a-Pakai, a-Pathen uchu asumil tauvin, chule amahon Baal leh Asherah milim semthu hochu jenle in ana pang tauvin ahi.
8 And the anger of Jehovah 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.
Hijeh chun Pakai chu Israel dounan alunghang lheh jengtan, hijeh chun Ram-naharaim lengpa Cushan-rishathaim khut’ah ana pedohtan, chuin Israelten kumget sungin Cushan-rishathaim sohna ana tongun ahi.
9 And the children of Israel cried to Jehovah; and Jehovah raised up a saviour to the children of Israel, who saved them, Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.
Hinlah Israel mite chu Pakai koma panpi ngaichan ana kaptauvin ahileh, Pakaiyin amaho huhdoh dingin mikhat ana tungdoh in, amachu Caleb naopa Kenaz chapa Othniel ahi.
10 And the Spirit of Jehovah was upon him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war, and Jehovah gave Chushan-rishathaim king of Syria into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushan-rishathaim.
Pakai Lhagao chu achunga ahungchun hiti chun ama Israelte thutan vaihom’in ahung pangtan, chuin Othniel chu Ram lengpa Cushan-rishathaim chunga galboldin ahung kipantan ahileh Pakaiyin gal anajo sahtan.
11 And the land had rest forty years; and Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
Hijeh chun kum somli gamsunga chamna ana umm in, chujouvin Kenaz chapa Othniel chu ana thitan ahi.
12 And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of Jehovah; and Jehovah strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they did evil in the sight of Jehovah.
Avelin Israelten Pakai mitmun thilse jeng ana bolkit tauvin ahileh, hitobanga athilse bol jeh uhin Pakaiyin Moab lengpa Eglon chu Israelte chungah ana vaihom sahtan ahi.
13 And he gathered to him the children of Ammon and Amalek and went and smote Israel, and they took possession of the city of palm-trees.
Eglon’in Ammon mite leh Amalek mite chu ana kiloikhompin, hitichun anakon'un Israelte chu anajou tauvin Lusuga lei tia kihe Jericho khopi chu ana toupha tauvin ahi.
14 And the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
Hiti chun Israelten Moab lengpa Eglon noiya kum somle get sungin sohna ana tong’un ahi.
15 And the children of Israel cried to Jehovah, and Jehovah raised them up a saviour, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjaminite, a man left-handed. And by him the children of Israel sent a gift to Eglon king of Moab.
Ahinlah Israelte chu panpi ngaichat nan Pakai koma ana kapjah jeng tauvin ahileh, Pakaiyin amaho huhdoh dingin mikhat ahin tungdoh kit in, ama minchu Gera chapa Ehud ahi. Benjamin phunga kona khutvei-long pachu anahi. Israelten Moab lengpa Eglon koma kai apehdiu chu Ehud agathah sah’un ahi.
16 And Ehud made him a sword having two edges, it was of a cubit length; and he girded it under his raiment upon his right hip.
Hiti chun Ehud in tong-khat a sao, alangtoa hem chemkhat ajetlam mal’ah ajeplut'in pon akhu khum’in ahi.
17 And he brought the gift to Eglon king of Moab; now Eglon was a very fat man.
Aman mithaotah Eglon koma chun kai-pehding sum chu ahin pon ahung in ahi.
18 And it came to pass when he had ended offering the gift, he sent away the people that had borne the gift.
Athilpeh chu apehchai phat in Ehud chu ache khompi cheng chutoh inlang cheding in ahung kipat doh tauvin ahi.
19 But he turned from the graven images that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret word unto thee, O king. And he said, Be silent! And all that stood by him went out from him.
Hinlah Ehud chu Gilgal koma song milim kisem kom ahunglhun phat'in ahung kileheijin, Eglon koma chun ahungin, “Keiman thuguh seiding khat kaneiye” ati. Hijeh chun lengpan ama lhachaho koma chun, “Thipbeh un” atin, amaho chu aindan sunga kon chun asoldoh tan ahi.
20 And Ehud came to him; now he was sitting in the cool upper-chamber, which was for him alone. And Ehud said, I have a word from God unto thee. And he arose from the seat.
Ehud chu ain-chung dana dap heova achangseh'a tou Eglon koma chun achelut in Eglon koma chun, “Keiman Pathen akon in nang dinga thuthot khat kahinpoi ati.” Hitia chu Eglon lengpa chu atouna-a kona adindoh chun,
21 Then Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the sword from his right hip, and thrust it into his belly;
Ehud’in avei-langin amal jetlama aje achem chu asatdoh in, lengpa oi achun aphut luttan ahi.
22 and the haft also went in after the blade, and the fat closed upon the blade; for he did not draw the sword out of his belly, and it came out between the legs.
Chemchu alutthuh jeh'in lengpa a-oi thaolah a chun achem kungjong chu alhum heltan ahi. Hijeh chun Ehud’in chemchu anung loidoh tapon, chule amaha’a kon chun lengpa eh jong ahungdoh leu tan ahi.
23 And Ehud went out into the portico, and shut the doors of the upper-chamber upon him, and bolted them.
Hiche jouchun Ehud’in hiche indan kot hochu akamsoh keiyin kanglong aheh khum in, ehbuh langa achomlhan ajamdoh tai.
24 And when he was gone out, the servants of the [king] came and saw, and behold, the doors of the upper-chamber were bolted. And they said, Surely he is covering his feet in the summer chamber.
Ehud achedoh jouphat chun lengpa lhacha hochu ahung kinung leuvin ahileh, inchung dan kot jouse chu ana kikam sohkei chu agamu tauvin, amahon insung dana chu eh athah hiding in agelun ahi.
25 And they waited till they were ashamed; and behold, he opened not the doors of the upper-chamber, and they took the key, and opened [them], and behold, their lord lay dead on the earth.
Hijeh chun chomkhat set angah un, ahinlah phat sotthimtah anga vangun lengpa chu ahungdoh deh tapon, hichun atijaovin akot-heh chu agala tauvin ahileh, amahon kotchu ahon phat’un, apupau chu athisa lhonga kijam agamudoh tauvin ahi.
26 And Ehud had escaped while they lingered, and passed beyond the graven images, and escaped to Seirah.
Lhacha hochu ageisangle kah uchun Ehud chu ajamdoh in song milim kisem lamchu ahopa in Seirah lam-ah ajamdoh tan ahi.
27 And it came to pass when he was come, that he blew a trumpet in the hill-country of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the hill-country, and he before them.
Ama Ephraim thinglhang gam alhunphat in Ehud chun gal kona ding sumkon amuttan, hichun Israel mi honkhat chu thinglhanga kon in apuisuh in
28 And he said to them, Follow after me, for Jehovah has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of the Jordan toward Moab, and suffered no one to pass over.
“Neijuiyun,” ati, “Ajeh chu nagal miho Moab mite chunga hi Pakaiyin galjona napeh'u ahitai,” ati. Hijeh chun amahon ajuiyun, Moab akona Jordan vadung galkaina palmun jouse chu atouphauvin koimacha agal kaisah pouvin ahi.
29 And they slew the Moabites at that time, about ten thousand men, all fat, and all men of valour, and not a man escaped.
Amahon Moab mite chu akisat peuvin amaho lah'a ahat pen hole galsat themcheh ho khatcha jong sohcha louhel in, mihem sangsom athat’un ahi.
30 And Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest eighty years.
Hiti chun Israelten Moab’te chu anajou’un gamsung achun kum somget jen chamna ana um-in ahi.
31 And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath; and he smote the Philistines, six hundred men, with an ox-goad. And he also delivered Israel.
Ehud nungin Anath chapa Shamgar chun Israelte ana huhdoh in, aman bongchal khagu mangcha in khatvei chu Phillistinete mi jagup anathat in ahi.
