¹Now these are the nations which Jehovah left, to prove Israel by them, even as many [of Israel] as had not known all the wars of Canaan;

¹Ja need on rahvad, keda Issand alles jättis, et nende läbi katsuda Iisraeli, kõiki neid, kes ei tundnud ühtegi Kaanani sõda,

²only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as beforetime knew nothing thereof:

²ainult selleks, et Iisraeli laste sugupõlved teaksid, et tema õpetab neid sõdima, nimelt neid, kes seda varem ei osanud:

³[namely], the five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baal-hermon unto the entrance of Hamath.

³viis vilistite vürsti ja kõik kaananlased, siidonlased ja hiivlased, kes elasid Liibanoni mäestikus Baal-Hermoni mäest kuni Hamati teelahkmeni.

⁴And they were [left], to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of Jehovah, which he commanded their fathers by Moses.

⁴Need jäid, et nende läbi katsuda Iisraeli, et teada saada, kas nad tahavad kuulda Issanda käske, mis ta Moosese läbi oli andnud nende vanemaile.

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

⁵Iisraeli lapsed elasid siis kaananlaste, hettide, emorlaste, perislaste, hiivlaste ja jebuuslaste keskel,

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

⁶võtsid nende tütreid enestele naisteks ja andsid oma tütreid nende poegadele ning teenisid nende jumalaid.

⁷And the children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and forgat Jehovah their God, and served the Baalim and the Asheroth.

⁷Nõnda tegid Iisraeli lapsed kurja Issanda silmis ja unustasid Issanda, oma Jumala ning teenisid baale ja aðeraid.

⁸Therefore the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Cushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Cushan-rishathaim eight years.

⁸Siis Issanda viha süttis põlema Iisraeli vastu ja ta müüs nad Mesopotaamia kuninga Kuusan-Risataimi kätte; ja Iisraeli lapsed orjasid Kuusan-Risataimi kaheksa aastat.

⁹And when the children of Israel cried unto Jehovah, Jehovah raised up a saviour to the children of Israel, who saved them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.

⁹Aga Iisraeli lapsed kisendasid Issanda poole ja Issand tõstis Iisraeli lastele päästja, kes nad päästis - Otnieli, Kaalebi noorema venna Kenase poja.

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

¹⁰Issanda Vaim tuli tema peale ja ta mõistis Iisraelile kohut; ta läks sõtta ja Issand andis tema kätte Mesopotaamia kuninga Kuusan-Risataimi ja ta käsi sai võimuse Kuusan-Risataimi üle.

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

¹¹Ja maal oli rahu nelikümmend aastat; siis suri Otniel, Kenase poeg.

¹²And the children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah: and Jehovah strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah.

¹²Aga Iisraeli lapsed tegid jälle, mis kuri oli Issanda silmis, ja Issand julgustas Moabi kuningat Eglonit Iisraeli vastu, sellepärast et nad olid teinud kurja Issanda silmis.

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

¹³Ja tema kogus enese juurde ammonlased ja amalekid ja läks ning lõi Iisraeli, ja nad vallutasid Palmidelinna.

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

¹⁴Ja Iisraeli lapsed orjasid Moabi kuningat Eglonit kaheksateist aastat.

¹⁵But when the children of Israel cried unto Jehovah, Jehovah raised them up a saviour, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a man left-handed. And the children of Israel sent tribute by him unto Eglon the king of Moab.

¹⁵Siis Iisraeli lapsed kisendasid Issanda poole ja Issand tõstis neile päästjaks Eehudi, Geera poja, benjaminlase, vasakukäelise mehe. Kui Iisraeli lapsed saatsid temaga anni Moabi kuningale Eglonile,

¹⁶And Ehud made him a sword which had two edges, a cubit in length; and he girded it under his raiment upon his right thigh.

¹⁶siis Eehud valmistas enesele kaheteralise mõõga, küünar pika, ja pani selle vööle riiete alla oma paremale puusale.

¹⁷And he offered the tribute unto Eglon king of Moab: now Eglon was a very fat man.

¹⁷Ja ta viis anni Eglonile, Moabi kuningale; ja Eglon oli väga paks mees.

¹⁸And when he had made an end of offering the tribute, he sent away the people that bare the tribute.

¹⁸Kui and oli tervenisti üle antud, siis ta saatis ära inimesed, kes andi olid kandnud,

¹⁹But 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.

¹⁹ja ta ise pöördus tagasi Gilgalis olevate jumalakujude juurest ning ütles: 'Kuningas, mul on sulle saladus rääkida.' Ja Eglon vastas: 'Tasa!' Siis läksid kõik, kes ta juures seisid, tema juurest ära.

²⁰And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting by himself alone in the cool upper room. And Ehud said, I have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of his seat.

²⁰Eehud tuli ta juurde, kui ta istus vilus ülakambris, mis tal omaette oli, ja Eehud ütles: 'Mul on sinu jaoks Jumala sõna!' Ta tõusis üles oma istmelt,

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

²¹aga Eehud sirutas oma vasaku käe, võttis mõõga oma paremalt puusalt ja torkas temale kõhtu,

²²and the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, for he drew not the sword out of his body; and it came out behind.

²²nõnda et pidegi läks tera järel sisse ja rasv embas tera, sest ta ei tõmmanud mõõka tema kõhust välja; seejärel väljus ta peidikust.

²³Then Ehud went forth into the porch, and shut the doors of the upper room upon him, and locked them.

²³Eehud läks eesruumi ja sulges ning riivistas enese järel ülakambri uksed.

²⁴Now when he was gone out, his servants came; and they saw, and, behold, the doors of the upper room were locked; and they said, Surely he is covering his feet in the upper chamber.

²⁴Ja kui ta oli väljunud, siis tulid sisse kuninga sulased ja vaatasid, ja ennäe, ülakambri uksed olid suletud. Nad ütlesid: 'Küllap ta toimetab vilus kambris oma asju.'

²⁵And they tarried till they were ashamed; and, behold, he opened not the doors of the upper room: therefore they took the key, and opened [them], and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth.

²⁵Ja nad ootasid, kuni neil hakkas häbi, aga vaata, keegi ei avanud ülakambri uksi. Siis tõid nad võtme ja avasid, ja vaata, nende isand lamas surnuna maas.

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

²⁶Eehud oli aga põgenenud, seni kui nad kõhklesid; ta oli möödunud jumalakujudest ja pääsenud Seirasse.

²⁷And 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.

²⁷Ja kui ta sinna jõudis, siis ta puhus sarve Efraimi mäestikus ja Iisraeli lapsed läksid koos temaga mäestikust alla, tema nende ees.

²⁸And he said unto them, Follow after me; for Jehovah 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.

²⁸Ja ta ütles neile: 'Järgnege mulle, sest Issand annab teie vaenlased moabid teie kätte!' Ja nad läksid tema järel alla ning vallutasid Jordani koolmed, mis olid Moabi poole, ega lasknud üle mitte kedagi.

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

²⁹Tol korral lõid nad moabe maha ligi kümme tuhat meest, kõik tublid ja tugevad mehed, ja ainsatki ei pääsenud.

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

³⁰Nõnda alistati Moab sel päeval Iisraeli käe alla ja maal oli rahu kaheksakümmend aastat.

³¹And 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.

³¹Ja tema järel tuli Samgar, Anati poeg, ja see lõi härjaastlaga vilistitest maha kuussada meest; temagi päästis Iisraeli.
