¹Huan, Ephraimten a kiangah, Bangchi dana hichibanga honbawla Midiante na sualnaa honchial samlou na hia? a chi ua. Nakpitakin amah a tai uhi.

¹And the men of Ephraim said unto him, Why hast thou served us thus, that thou calledst us not, when thou wentest to fight with the Midianites? And they did chide with him sharply.

²Huan, aman a kiang uah, Nou toh genkak dingin bang ka hiha? Abiezerte grep loh sangin Ephraimte grep maih top a thupizo ka hia?

²And he said unto them, What have I done now in comparison of you? Is not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?

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.

³God hath delivered into your hands the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb: and what was I able to do in comparison of you? Then their anger was abated toward him, when he had said that.

⁴Huan, Gideon leh a kianga mi zathum omten Jordan lui a pha suk ua, a kan ua, bang pipiin a delh jel ua.

⁴And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them.

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.

⁵And he said unto the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves of bread unto the people that follow me; for they be faint, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian.

⁶Huan, Sukoth khuaa mi lianten, Zebleh Zalmun na khuta omkhinsa banga huchia na sepaihte tanghou ka piak pah mai ding uh? a chi a.

⁶And the princes of Succoth said, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we should give bread unto thine army?

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.

⁷And Gideon said, Therefore when the LORD hath delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into mine hand, then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.

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.

⁸And he went up thence to Penuel, and spake unto them likewise: and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered him.

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.

⁹And he spake also unto the men of Penuel, saying, When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower.

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.

¹⁰Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and their hosts with them, about fifteen thousand men, all that were left of all the hosts of the children of the east: for there fell an hundred and twenty thousand men that drew sword.

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.

¹¹And Gideon went up by the way of them that dwelt in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and smote the host; for the host was secure.

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.

¹²And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled, he pursued after them, and took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and discomfited all the host.

¹³Huan, Joas tapa Gideon bel Heres tungkahna akipanin kidouna akipan a hongkik nawnta.

¹³And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle before the sun was up,

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

¹⁴And caught a young man of the men of Succoth, and inquired of him: and he described unto him the princes of Succoth, and the elders thereof, even threescore and seventeen men.

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.

¹⁵And he came unto the men of Succoth, and said, Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, with whom ye did upbraid me, saying, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we should give bread unto thy men that are weary?

¹⁶Huchiin huai kho upate a mana, gamdai ling leh loulingneitein Sukoth mite a sinsak a.

¹⁶And he took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness and briers, and with them he taught the men of Succoth.

¹⁷Huan, Penuel kho kulh a hihchima, khuaa mite leng a that hi.

¹⁷And he beat down the tower of Penuel, and slew the men of the city.

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.

¹⁸Then said he unto Zebah and Zalmunna, What manner of men were they whom ye slew at Tabor? And they answered, As thou art, so were they; each one resembled the children of a king.

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.

¹⁹And he said, They were my brethren, even the sons of my mother: as the LORD liveth, if ye had saved them alive, I would not slay you.

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.

²⁰And he said unto Jether his firstborn, Up, and slay them. But the youth drew not his sword: for he feared, because he was yet a youth.

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.

²¹Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, Rise thou, and fall upon us: for as the man is, so is his strength. And Gideon arose, and slew Zebah and Zalmunna, and took away the ornaments that were on their camels' necks.

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.

²²Then the men of Israel said unto Gideon, Rule thou over us, both thou, and thy son, and thy son's son also: for thou hast delivered us from the hand of Midian.

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.

²³And Gideon said unto them, I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you: the LORD shall rule over you.

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. )

²⁴And Gideon said unto them, I would desire a request of you, that ye would give me every man the earrings of his prey. (For they had golden earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.)

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.

²⁵And they answered, We will willingly give them. And they spread a garment, and did cast therein every man the earrings of his prey.

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.

²⁶And the weight of the golden earrings that he requested was a thousand and seven hundred shekels of gold; beside ornaments, and collars, and purple raiment that was on the kings of Midian, and beside the chains that were about their camels' necks.

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.

²⁷And Gideon made an ephod thereof, and put it in his city, even in Ophrah: and all Israel went thither a whoring after it: which thing became a snare unto Gideon, and to his house.

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.

²⁸Thus was Midian subdued before the children of Israel, so that they lifted up their heads no more. And the country was in quietness forty years in the days of Gideon.

²⁹Huan, Joas tapa Jerubaal a paia a in lamah a omta hi.

²⁹And Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and dwelt in his own house.

³⁰Huan, Gideonin amah suan mahmah tapa sawmsagih aneia: zi tampi a nei hi.

³⁰And Gideon had threescore and ten sons of his body begotten: for he had many wives.

³¹Huan, Sekem khuaa a meiin tapa a suansak laia, a min dingin Abimelek a sa a.

³¹And his concubine that was in Shechem, she also bare him a son, whose name he called Abimelech.

³²Joas tapa Gideon kha leh khuk tuah adamin a sia, huchiin Abierit mi Ophra khua a a pa Joas han ah avui uhi.

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 Abiezrites.

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.

³³And it came to pass, as soon as Gideon was dead, that the children of Israel turned again, and went a whoring after Baalim, and made Baalberith their god.

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.

³⁴And the children of Israel remembered not the LORD their God, who had delivered them out of the hands of all their enemies on every side:

³⁵Jerubaal (Gideon mah) Israelte tunga theihtawpa hoih suah sekpa inkote tungah leng hoih a tuh teita kei uh.

³⁵Neither showed they kindness to the house of Jerubbaal, namely, Gideon, according to all the goodness which he had showed unto Israel.
