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

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

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

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:

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

¹⁴Ja Iisraeli lapsed orjasid Moabi kuningat Eglonit kaheksateist aastat.

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

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,

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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,

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.'

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.
