1And the men of Ephraim said to him, What is this thing thou hast done to us, that thou calledst us not, when thou wentest to fight with Midian? And they disputed with him sharply.
1Huan, Ephraimten a kiangah, Bangchi dana hichibanga honbawla Midiante na sualnaa honchial samlou na hia? a chi ua. Nakpitakin amah a tai uhi.
2And he said to them, What have I done now in comparison with you? Are not the gleanings of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abi-ezer?
2Huan, aman a kiang uah, Nou toh genkak dingin bang ka hiha? Abiezerte grep loh sangin Ephraimte grep maih top a thupizo ka hia?
3Into your hands hath God delivered the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb; and what was I able to do in comparison with you? Then their spirit was appeased toward him, when he said that word.
3Pathianin Midiante kumpipa Oreb leh Zeeb na khut ah ahon pete ahi: huchiin nou toh genkak dingin ken bang kahiha? a chi a. Huchiin huai thu a gen leh a tunga a hehna uh a daita hi.
4And Gideon came to the Jordan, [and] passed over, he and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing.
4Huan, Gideon leh a kianga mi zathum omten Jordan lui a pha suk ua, a kan ua, bang pipiin a delh jel ua.
5And he said to the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves of bread to the people that follow me, for they are faint; and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian.
5Huan, Sukoth khuaa mite kiangah, Hiai ka nungjuite hehpihtakin sangpek pe dih ua; a bahta mahmah ua, Midiante kumpipa Zeb leh Zalmun delh ka hi a, a chi a.
6And the chief men of Succoth said, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in thy hand, that we should give bread to thine army?
6Huan, Sukoth khuaa mi lianten, Zebleh Zalmun na khuta omkhinsa banga huchia na sepaihte tanghou ka piak pah mai ding uh? a chi a.
7And Gideon said, Therefore when Jehovah delivers Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, I will thresh your flesh with thorns of the wilderness and with briars.
7Huan, Gideonin, A hi, TOUPAN Zeb leh Zalmun ka khuta a honpiak hun chiangin gamdai ling leh loulingneitein na sa uh ka sun kekdiakduak mai ding, a chi a.
8And he went up thence to Penuel, and spoke to them in like manner. And the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered.
8Huan, huai akipanin Penuel ah a hoh tou ua, a kiang uah huchimah bangin a gen nawna: huan, Penuel khuaa miten Sukoth khuaa mite dawn bang mahin a nadawng tei ua.
9And he spoke also to the men of Penuel, saying, When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower.
9Huan, Penuel khua a mi kiangah, Lem thu puaa ka hong kik nawn hun chiangin, hiai kulh ka hon hihchim ding, chin leng a gen hi.
10Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and their camp with them, about fifteen thousand [men], all that were left of the whole camp of the children of the east; for there had fallen a hundred and twenty thousand men that drew sword.
10Zeb leh Zalmun bel Karkor ah a om ua, a sepaihte suahlam tate sepaihte a sibang teng, sing khat leh sang nga tak toh: namsaudokmi nuai khat leh sing nih lah a sin gal ua.
11And Gideon went up by the way of them that dwell in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and smote the camp; for the camp was at its ease.
11Huan, Gideon bel Nob leh Jogbeh suahlama puanina tengte lampi ah a hoh toua, sepaihte a vasual; sepaihte galmuang takin a na om ngal ua.
12And Zebah and Zalmunna fled, and he pursued after them, and he took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and discomfited all the camp.
12Huan, Zeb leh Zalmun bel a taikekta ua; huan, amau a delh ua; huchiin Midiante kumpipa nih Zeb leh Zalmun a man ua, sepaihte tengteng a hihbuai gawpta uhi.
13And Gideon the son of Joash returned from the battle, from the ascent of Heres.
13Huan, Joas tapa Gideon bel Heres tungkahna akipanin kidouna akipan a hongkik nawnta.
14And he caught a youth of the men of Succoth, and inquired of him; and he wrote down for him the chief men of Succoth, and the elders thereof, seventy-seven men.
14Huan, Sukoth khuaa tangval khat a man ua, thu khawng a dong ua: huchiin Sukoth khuaa milante leh, upate min a gelh sakveka, sawmsagih leh sagih ahi uh
15And he came to the men of Succoth, and said, Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, with whom ye did upbraid me, saying, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in thy hand, that we should give bread to thy men that are weary?
15Huan, Sukoth khuaa mite kiangah a hoh toua, Zeb leh Zalmun te en dih ve ua leh, hiaite a kei ua, Zeb leh Zalmun na khut a omsa banga, huchia mi bahte tanghou ka piak mai ding uh? chia honna enghou vialte, a chi a.
16And he took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness and briars, and with them he taught the men of Succoth.
16Huchiin huai kho upate a mana, gamdai ling leh loulingneitein Sukoth mite a sinsak a.
17And he broke down the tower of Penuel, and slew the men of the city.
17Huan, Penuel kho kulh a hihchima, khuaa mite leng a that hi.
18Then said he to Zebah and Zalmunna, What sort of men were they that ye slew at Tabor? And they answered, As thou art, so were they; each one resembled the sons of a king.
18Huchiin Zeb leh Zalmun kiangah, Tabor tanga na mi thahte uh mi bangchi ahi ua? a chi a. Huan, amau, Nang bangmah ahi uh; Kumpipa ta batna a nei chiat uh, a chi ua.
19And he said, They were my brethren, the sons of my mother. [As] Jehovah liveth, if ye had saved them alive, I would not slay you.
19Huan, aman, Unau aw, ka nu tapate mahmah ei ve ua: TOUPA a ngei mahbangin, amaute na hawihing le uchin jaw, nou honthat lou mah ding hivengin, a chi a.
20And he said to Jether his firstborn, Arise, slay them! But the youth drew not his sword; for he feared, because he was yet a youth.
20Huan, a tapa upapen Jether kiangah, Khaile, nang thatin, a chi a. Himahleh tangvalin a namsau a phawi kei; tangval leh ahih lai jiakin a laua.
21Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, Rise thou, and fall on us; for as is the man, so is his strength. And Gideon arose, and slew Zebah and Zalmunna; and he took the moons that were on their camels' necks.
21Huchiin Zeb leh Zalmunin, nangmah hongkisa inla, hongsual tanla: piching leh piching kisual ding aka, a chi ua. Huan, Gideon a thoua, Zeb leh Zalmun a thatta, huan, a sangawngsau uh ngawnga hakkolte a la hi.
22And the men of Israel said to Gideon, Rule over us, both thou, and thy son, and thy son's son also; for thou hast saved us from the hand of Midian.
22Huchiin Israel miten Gideon kiangah, Nang ka tunguah vaihawmtain, nang leh, na tapa, leh, na tapa tapate tanin leng: nang Midiante akipanin lahna honhondamta ngala, a chi ua.
23And Gideon said to them, I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you: Jehovah will rule over you.
23Huan, Gideonin a kiang uah, Ken jaw na tunguah vai ka hawm kei ding, ka tapain leng na tunguah vai a hawm sam kei ding: TOUPAN na tunguah vai a hawmzo ding, a chi a.
24And Gideon said to them, I would desire a request of you: give me every man the earrings of his booty; for they had golden earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.
24Huan, Gideonin a kiang uah, Thil khat a hih leh honnget ka ut, mi chihin na gallak bilbah uh, honpe chiat ve ua, a chi a. (Ismaelte ahih jiakundangkaeng bilbah a nei uhi. )
25And they said, We will willingly give [them]. And they spread a garment, and cast therein every man the earrings of his booty.
25Huan, amau, Honpe mah tawk nung, a chi ua. Huchiin puan a phah ua, mi chihin a gallak bilbah uh a honpai khe chiat uhi.
26And the weight of the golden earrings that he requested was a thousand seven hundred [shekels] of gold; besides the moons, and eardrops, and the purple garments that were on the kings of Midian, and besides the chains that were about their camels' necks.
26Huan, huai dangkaeng bilbah a ngette a giklam dangkaeng sekel sang khat leh za sagih ahi; hakkolte, bilbahte, Midia kumpipate puan sandup sim louhin, a sangawngsaute uh khainiang omte leng tel louin.
27And Gideon made an ephod of them, and put it in his city, in Ophrah. And all Israel went thither a whoring after it; and it became a snare to Gideon, and to his house.
27Huan, Gideonin huaitein Ephod a bawla, a omna Ophra khua ah a koiha: huailaiah Israelte tengtengin ang a nakawm khinta uh: huchiin Gideon leh a inkote ading nasanin thang a honghit maimah hi.
28And Midian was subdued before the children of Israel, and they lifted up their heads no more. And the land had rest forty years in the days of Gideon.
28Huchiin Midiate bel Israel suante maah hihzahlakin a hongom ua, huchiin atangkhe zou nawnta ke uh. Huan, Gideon damsungin gam kum sawmli sung galmuangin a om.
29And Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and dwelt in his house.
29Huan, Joas tapa Jerubaal a paia a in lamah a omta hi.
30Now Gideon had seventy sons who had come out of his loins, for he had many wives.
30Huan, Gideonin amah suan mahmah tapa sawmsagih aneia: zi tampi a nei hi.
31And his concubine that was in Shechem, she also bore him a son, and he gave him the name of Abimelech.
31Huan, Sekem khuaa a meiin tapa a suansak laia, a min dingin Abimelek a sa a.
32And Gideon the son of Joash died in a good old age, and was buried in the sepulchre of Joash his father, in Ophrah of the Abi-ezrites.
32Joas tapa Gideon kha leh khuk tuah adamin a sia, huchiin Abierit mi Ophra khua a a pa Joas han ah avui uhi.
33And it came to pass when Gideon was dead, that the children of Israel turned again, and went a whoring after the Baals, and set up Baal-Berith as their god.
33Huan, hichi ahia, Gideon a sih takin Israel suante a hongtolh nawn ua, Baal-te lakah ang a kawm ua, Baal-berith pen a pathian un a nabawlta uh.
34And the children of Israel remembered not Jehovah their God, who had delivered them out of the hand of all their enemies on every side.
34Huan, Israel suanten a kim ua melmate tengteng lak akipanin hunkhepa TOUPA a Pathian uh a theita kei ua:Jerubaal (Gideon mah) Israelte tunga theihtawpa hoih suah sekpa inkote tungah leng hoih a tuh teita kei uh.
35And they shewed no kindness to the house of Jerubbaal-Gideon, according to all the good that he had done to Israel.
35Jerubaal (Gideon mah) Israelte tunga theihtawpa hoih suah sekpa inkote tungah leng hoih a tuh teita kei uh.
