¹And these are the nations that Jehovah left, to prove Israel by them, all that had not known all the wars of Canaan;

¹Hiai Namte ahi TOUPAN Kanan gama gal sual ngei nai het lou zeetna dinga a omsakte,

²only that the generations of the children of Israel might know war by learning it, at the least those who before had known nothing thereof:

²Huai Israel suan suante, tumaa bangmah thei naihetlou ten a hontheihna ding uh leh galsual dan sinsak ding kiaa omsak ahi uh;

³five 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.

³Huaite bel Philistiate kumpipa ngate, kanan mi tengtengte, Zidonte; Lebanon tanga om Hivte ahi ua, Baal-hermon tang akipana Hamath kho lutna phain.

⁴And 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.

⁴TOUPAN Mosi zanga a pipute uh tuh a napiakte a pom sin uh leh sin louh uh theihna dingin huaite bel Israelte zeetna ding ahi uh.

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

⁵Huan, Israel suante Kanante, Hitte, Amorte, Perizte, Hivte, Jebuste lakah a om ua;

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

⁶Huan, a tanute uh jiin a nei ua, huan, a tanute uh tapate uh tapate a neithuk sak ua, a pathiante uh na a sem uhi.

⁷And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and forgot Jehovah their God, and served the Baals and the Asherahs.

⁷Huan, Israel suanten TOUPA mitmuhin thil gilou a nahih ua, TOUPA a Pathian uh a mangngilh ua, Baalte leh Astoret na a sem uh

⁸And 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.

⁸Huchiin TOUPA Israelte tungah a hehtaa, Mesopotamia gam kumpipa Kusan-risathaim kiangah a juaktaa: huchiin Israel suante Kusan-risathaim thu nuaiah kum giat a om uh.

⁹And 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.

⁹Huan, Israel suanten TOUPA a sap tak un, TOUPANIsrael suante hondampa a honbawl saka, huai main a honghondamtaa. huai bel Kaleb nau Kenaz tapa Othniel ahi.

¹⁰And 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.

¹⁰Huan, TOUPA kha a tungah a hongtunga, huchiin Mesopotamia gam kumpipa Kusan-risathaim a piaa; Kusan-risathaim a zouta hi.

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

¹¹Huan, gam kum sawmli galmuangin a omta hi.

¹²And 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.

¹²Huan, Israel suanten TOUPA mitmuhin thil gilou a hih nawn ua: huchiin TOUPA mitmuha thil a na hihkhelh jiakun TOUPAN Moab kumpipa Eglon Israelte tunga hatin a bawla.

¹³And 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.

¹³Huan, aman Amon suante leh Amalekte a kai khawma; huan, Israelte a vasuala, tum khopi a luataa.

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

¹⁴Huchiin Israelte Moab kumpipa Eglon thu nuaiah kum sawm leh kum giat a om uh.

¹⁵And 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.

¹⁵Himahleh Israel suanten TOUPA a sap tak un TOUPAN Gera tapa Ehud, Benjamin mi, mi veiling, hondampa a honbawl saka: huan, Israel suanten Moab kumpipa piak dingin kipahman a tawisak uhi.

¹⁶And 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.

¹⁶Huan, Ehudin namsau hiam tuah tong tana sau in a sek a; huai tuh a pheipi taklam puan nuaiah a taivom a.

¹⁷And he brought the gift to Eglon king of Moab; now Eglon was a very fat man.

¹⁷Huan, Moab kumpipa Eglon kipahman a vapiaa: Eglon bel mi thau tak ahi.

¹⁸And it came to pass when he had ended offering the gift, he sent away the people that had borne the gift.

¹⁸Huan, kipahman a vapiak khit takin, kipahman tawite a paisak nawn hi.

¹⁹But 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.

¹⁹Amah bel Gilgal kho kianga suangsek mun akipan a nungkik nawna, I aw kumpipa, honhilh ding thuguk neikei ve, a chi a. Huan, aman, Dai sisip un, achi a. Huchiin a kianga gingte teng in a pawt khiak san vek ua.

²⁰And 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.

²⁰Huan, Ehud a kiangah a vahoha; amah bel a nipi dantan ah amah kiain a natua. Huan, Ehudin, Pathian in na kianga gen ding thu a honthukhak, achi a. Huan, tutphah akipan a ding hi.

²¹Then Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the sword from his right hip, and thrust it into his belly;

²¹Huan, Ehudin akhut vei lamin a pheipi taklama namsau a doka, a gilpi ah a kui ek mawka:

²²and 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.

²²A bul leng a lut tum toiha, huan, a namsau pen a thau in a hubita, a gilpia namsau lah a phawi ngal keia; a nungah a pailet hi.

²³And Ehud went out into the portico, and shut the doors of the upper-chamber upon him, and bolted them.

²³Huchiin Ehud bel inlimah a pawta, dantan kongkhaktein a khakkhum a, a kalh bibek.

²⁴And 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.

²⁴Huan, huchia a pawt khit nungin, a sikhate a hongpai ua; huan, a muh tak un ngaiin, dantan kongkhakte a na kikalh ngiungeua; A nipi dantan ah a vatuamom tadih hiin teh, achi ua.

²⁵And 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.

²⁵Huan, zumhuai khopin a ngak nilouh ua: huan, ngaiin, dantan kongkhakte a hong himhim kei a; huchiin tahbi a la ua, a hong ua: huan, ngaiin, a kumpipa uh pialkhangah, siin a na lumta hi.

²⁶And Ehud had escaped while they lingered, and passed beyond the graven images, and escaped to Seirah.

²⁶Huan, Ehud lah huchia a ngak nilouh sungun a natai mang khintaa, huai suangsekna mun a khenga, Seira ah a tai.

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.

²⁷Huan, hichi ahia, huai mun a tunin Ephraim tanggam ah pengkul a muta, huan, Israel suante tanggam akipan a kiangah a pai suk ua, aman a ma uh a kaita hi.

²⁸And 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.

²⁸Huan, aman a kiang uah, Honjui dih ua: TOUPAN na melma uh Moabte honpe khinta ahi, a chi a. Huchiin a jui suk ua, Moab gam chin Jordan lui kahnate a la ua; kuamah a galkah uh a phal kei uh.

²⁹And they slew the Moabites at that time, about ten thousand men, all fat, and all men of valour, and not a man escaped.

²⁹Huai tungin Moabte sing khat tak mi hat ngenta leh mi hat hangsan hoih ngenta a that ua; khat lel leng tai khia a om kei uh.

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

³⁰Huchiin huai niin Moabte Israelte lakah a nazahlak uhi. Huan, gam kum sawmgiat sung galmuangin a om.Huan, a nungin Anath tapa Samgar a hong kilang sama, huai miin Philistiate mi za guk bawng sutna chiangin a sunluma: amahmahin Israelte a hondam hi.

³¹And 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.

³¹Huan, a nungin Anath tapa Samgar a hong kilang sama, huai miin Philistiate mi za guk bawng sutna chiangin a sunluma: amahmahin Israelte a hondam hi.
