¹Now 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;

¹ Dumey kaŋ yaŋ Rabbi naŋ zama nga ma du ka Israyla si i do, ngey neeya: sanda Israyla izey kaŋ si Kanaana wongo kulu bay.

²Only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing thereof;

² Sabaabu folloŋ ga ti i ma Israyla izey banda dondonandi wongu, sanku fa borey kaŋ yaŋ mana wongu muraadu kulu bay jina.

³Namely, five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baalhermon unto the entering in of Hamath.

³ Dumey kaŋ yaŋ i naŋ neeya: Filistancey bonkooni gu, da Kanaanancey kulu, da Zidonancey, da Hibancey kaŋ yaŋ goono ga goro Liban tondo ra za Baal-Hermon tondo gaa kala a ma koy Hamat furanta.

⁴And they were 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.

⁴ Rabbi na woodin yaŋ naŋ zama nga ma Israyla si i do, a ma bay hala Israyla ga Rabbi lordey gana, kaŋ yaŋ a n'i kaayey lordi nd'a Musa kambe ra.

⁵And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites:

⁵ Israyla izey binde goro Kanaanancey game ra, da Hittancey, da Amorancey, da Perizancey, da Hibancey, da Yebusancey.

⁶And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.

⁶ Israyla izey na dumey din ize wayey hiiji. Dumey din mo na Israyla ize wayey hiiji. Israyla may i toorey se mo.

⁷And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgat the LORD their God, and served Baalim and the groves.

⁷ Israyla izey na goy laalo te Rabbi diyaŋ gaa; i dinya Rabbi ngey Irikoyo gaa. I may Baalyaŋ da wayboro himandi bundu tooruyaŋ se.

⁸Therefore the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Chushanrishathaim eight years.

⁸ Woodin se no Rabbi futa koroŋ Israyla boŋ. Nga mo n'i neera Kusan-Risatayim kambe ra, Mesopotamiya bonkooni no. Israyla izey may mo Kusan-Risatayim se jiiri ahakku.

⁹And when the children of Israel cried unto 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.

⁹ Waato kaŋ cine Israyla izey hẽ Rabbi gaa, Rabbi na faabako tunandi Israyla izey se, kaŋ n'i faaba. Nga no ga ti Otniyel, Kaleb kayne Kenaz izo.

¹⁰And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: and the LORD delivered Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushanrishathaim.

¹⁰ Rabbi Biya zumbu a boŋ, a na Israyla izey may mo. A koy ka wongu mo. Rabbi mo na Kusan-Risatayim kaŋ ti Mesopotamiya bonkoono daŋ Otniyel kambe ra; a kamba te zaama Kusan-Risatayim boŋ.

¹¹And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.

¹¹ Hala laabo mo du ka fulanzam jiiri waytaaci. Otniyel, Kenaz izo kaa ka bu mo.

¹²And 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.

¹² Israyla izey ye ka goy laalo te Rabbi diyaŋ gaa. Rabbi mo na Eglon, Mowab bonkoono gaabandi hal a ma hin ka gaaba nda Israyla, zama i na goy laalo te Rabbi diyaŋ gaa.

¹³And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees.

¹³ A na Amon izey da Amalek margu nga do. A koy mo ka Israyla kar, i na teenay nyaŋey birno ŋwa mo.

¹⁴So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.

¹⁴ Israyla izey may Mowab bonkoono Eglon se kala jiiri way cindi ahakku.

¹⁵But when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man lefthanded: and by him the children of Israel sent a present unto Eglon the king of Moab.

¹⁵ Amma waato kaŋ Israyla izey hẽ Rabbi gaa, Rabbi na faabako tunandi i se, kaŋ ci Gera izo Ehud, Benyamin boro, kambu wow koy no. Israyla izey n'a donton da nooyaŋ a ma kond'a Mowab bonkoono Eglon do.

¹⁶But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he did gird it under his raiment upon his right thigh.

¹⁶ Ehud na nga takuba kaano fo te, kaŋ a kuuyaŋ ga saba nda kambe kar fo cine. A na takuba koto nga kwaay ra nga kambe ŋwaari tanja gaa haray.

¹⁷And he brought the present unto Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon was a very fat man.

¹⁷ A na nooyaŋo salle Mowab bonkoono Eglon kambe ra. Eglon mo boro no kaŋ ga warga gumo.

¹⁸And when he had made an end to offer the present, he sent away the people that bare the present.

¹⁸ Waato kaŋ a na nooyaŋey salle ka ban, Ehud na borey kaŋ yaŋ na fooyaŋ haro jare din sallama.

¹⁹But he himself turned again from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king: who said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.

¹⁹ Amma nga bumbo wo ye ka kay jabuyaŋ himandi-himandey ra noodin, Jilgal, ka ye ka kaa. A ne: «Ya bonkoono, ay gonda ni se samba fo, gundu wane.» Bonkoono ne: «Wa dangay!» Borey kulu kaŋ yaŋ go no a do ga kay fatta k'a naŋ.

²⁰And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting in a summer parlor, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of his seat.

²⁰ Ehud kaa bonkoono do. Nga wo go ga goro nga fu boŋ cinari yeeno ra, nga hinne. Gaa no Ehud ne: «Ay gonda Irikoy sanni fo ni se.» Bonkoono mo tun nga nangora ra.

²¹And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:

²¹ Ehud binde na nga kambe wow salle ka takuba foobu nga kambe ŋwaari tanja gaa haray ka bonkoono zorme nd'a gunda ra.

²²And the haft also went in 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.

²² Takuba boŋo mo na takuba izo gana. Maano mo didiji guuro gaa, zama Ehud mana takuba dagu k'a kaa gunda ra bo, zama a na teelo fun.

²³Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlor upon him, and locked them.

²³ Waato din gaa no Ehud fun ka koy cinaro batama ra. Kaŋ a na cinaro meyey daabu bonkoono boŋ, a n'i haw nga banda.

²⁴When he was 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.

²⁴ Saaya kaŋ cine a fatta, bonkoono bannyey kokor ka kaa. I di, a go mo, cinaro meyey kulu go daabante. I ne: «Haciika bonkoono goono ga hari mun no nga jidan bisa ra.»

²⁵And 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 was fallen down dead on the earth.

²⁵ I di ka kay hala naŋ kaŋ haawi n'i di. A go mo, bonkoono mana jidan bisa meyey fiti. Woodin se binde i na feeriyaŋ hari sambu ka koy ka fiti. A go mo, i di ngey koyo go ga furu ganda buuko.

²⁶And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Seirath.

²⁶ I gayyaŋo sabbay se, kala Ehud du ka yana. A bisa jabuyaŋ himandey do, a n'i yana kal a koy hala Seyira.

²⁷And it came to pass, when he was 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.

²⁷ Saaya kaŋ cine a kaa binde, a na hilli kar Ifraymu tondey laabo ra. Israyla izey binde kaa a banda ka fun tondey laabo ra, nga din mo go i jine.

²⁸And 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 Jordan toward Moab, and suffered not a man to pass over.

²⁸ A ne i se: «W'ay gana, zama Rabbi n'araŋ ibare Mowabancey daŋ araŋ kambe ra.» Ngey mo n'a gana. A na Urdun yawyaŋ nangey ta Mowabancey gaa; i mana yadda baa boro folloŋ ma daŋandi.

²⁹And they slew of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all lusty, and all men of valor; and there escaped not a man.

²⁹ I na Mowabancey wi saaya din ra, danga boro zambar way cine. I kulu mo alboro timmante yaŋ, sooje yaarukom koonu yaŋ no. Boro folloŋ mana cindi kaŋ du ka yana.

³⁰So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest fourscore years.

³⁰ Yaadin cine no Mowab ye d'a Israyla mayray cire zaari woodin ra. Laabo binde du fulanzamay jiiri wahakku.

³¹And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, which slew of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox goad: and he also delivered Israel.

³¹ A banda mo no Samgar, Anat izo tun, nga kaŋ na Filistance boro zangu iddu wi da haw mimi; nga mo na Israyla faaba.
