Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Kanaan prae ah misatukhaih panoek vai ai Israel kaminawk boih tanoek hanah,
1These are the nations which the Lord left, that by them he might instruct Israel, and all that had not known the wars of the Chanaanites:
2misatuk naah caeh vai ai Israel kaminawk ih a caanawk misatuk amtuk o hanah, Angraeng mah caehtaak ih kaminawk loe,
2That afterwards their children might learn to fight with their enemies, and to be trained up to war:
3Philistin ukkung angraeng pangato, Kanaan kaminawk boih, Sidon kaminawk, Lebanon mae nuiah kaom Hiv kaminawk, Baal-Hermon mae nui hoi Hamath karoek to kaom kaminawk to athum o.
3The five princes of the Philistines, and all the Chanaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hevites that dwelt in mount Libanus, from mount Baal Hermon to the entering into Emath.
4Angraeng mah Mosi rang hoiah ampanawk khaeah paek ih loknawk to pazui o tih maw, pazui o mak ai, tiah panoek hanah Israel kaminawk to tanoek.
4And he left them, that he might try Israel by them, whether they would hear the commandments of the Lord, which he had commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses, or not.
5Israel kaminawk loe Kanaan kaminawk, Hit kaminawk, Amor kaminawk, Periz kaminawk, Hiv kaminawk hoi Jebus kaminawk salakah khosak o.
5So the children of Israel dwelt in the midst of the Chanaanite, and the Hethite, and the Amorrhite, and the Pherezite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite:
6Nihcae ih canu to zu ah lak o moe, angmacae ih canu to nihcae capanawk hanah zu ah a paek o pacoengah, nihcae sithawnawk ih tok to a sak pae o.
6And they took their daughters to wives, and they gave their own daughters to their sons, and they served their gods.
7Israel kaminawk loe Angraeng mikhnukah kahoih ai hmuen to sak o; angmacae ih Angraeng Sithaw to pahnet o moe, Baal hoi Asherah ih tok to sak pae o.
7And they did evil in the sight of the Lord, and they forgot their God, and served Baalim and Astaroth.
8To pongah Angraeng palungphuihaih Israel kaminawk nuiah krak moe, nihcae to Mesopotamia siangpahrang Kushan-Rishathaim ban ah a zawh; Israel kaminawk loe anih ban ah saning tazetto thung toksak o.
8And the Lord being angry with Israel, delivered them into the hands of Chusan Rasathaim king of Mesopotamia, and they served him eight years.
9Toe Angraeng khaeah a hangh o naah loe, nihcae pahlong hanah Angraeng mah Kaleb ih amnawk, Kenaz capa Othniel to pathawk; anih mah nihcae to pahlong.
9And they cried to the Lord, who raised them up a saviour, and delivered them, to wit, Othoniel the son of Cenez, the younger brother of Caleb:
10Anih nuiah Angraeng ih Muithla to oh; anih loe Israel kaminawk lokcaekkung ah oh pacoengah, misatukhaih ahmuen ah a caeh. Angraeng mah Mesopotamia siangpahrang Kushan-Arathaim to anih ban ah paek pongah, anih mah to siangpahrang to pazawk.
10And the spirit of the Lord was in him, and he judged Israel. And he went out to fight, and the Lord delivered into his hands Chusan Rasathaim king of Syria, and he overthrew him.
11To pongah Kenaz capa Othniel duek karoek to, saning quipalito thung prae thungah monghaih to oh.
11And the land rested forty years, and Othoniel the son of Cenez died.
12Israel kaminawk mah Angraeng mikhnukah kahoih ai hmuen to sak o let; to tiah nihcae mah Angraeng hmaa ah kahoih ai hmuen to sak o pongah, Angraeng mah Moab siangpahrang Eglon to thacaksak.
12And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord: who strengthened against them Eglon king of Moab: because they did evil in his sight.
13Eglon mah Ammon hoi Amelek kaminawk to nawnto pakhueng, Israel to a tuk moe, ungsikung kaom vangpui to lak.
13And he joined to him the children of Ammon, and Amalec: and he went and overthrew Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees.
14Israel kaminawk loe saning hatlaitazetto thung, Moab siangpahrang Eglon ban thungah toksak o.
14And the children of Israel served Eglon king of Moab eighteen years:
15Israel kaminawk mah Angraeng khaeah hang o let naah, Angraeng mah banqoi ban patoh thaih, Benjamin acaeng, Gera capa, Ehud to pahlongkung ah paek; Israel kaminawk mah anih to Moab siangpahrang Eglon khaeah tangqum paek hanah patoeh o.
15And afterwards they cried to the Lord, who raised them up a saviour called Aod, the son of Gera, the son of Jemini, who used the left hand as well as the right. And the children of Israel sent presents to Eglon king of Moab by him.
16Ehud loe ahnuk ahmaa kanoe, dongto kasawk sumsen to sak moe, kahni thungah ayaw hmoek pacoengah, a bantang phaih nuiah angnaengh.
16And he made himself a two-edged sword, with a haft in the midst of the length of the palm of the hand, and was girded therewith under his garment on the right thigh.
17Tangqum to Moab siangpahrang Eglon khaeah paek; anih loe thawk parai.
17And he presented the gifts to Eglon king of Moab. Now Eglon was exceeding fat.
18Ehud mah tangqum to paek pacoengah, tangqum phaw kaminawk to a caehsak ving.
18And when he had presented the gifts unto him, he followed his companions that came along with him.
19Anih loe Gilgal vangpui taeng ih thlung lakhaih ahmuen phak naah, amlaem let moe, Aw siangpahrang, nang khaeah tamqulok thuih han ka tawnh, tiah a naa. Siangpahrang mah, To lok to thui hmah raeh! tiah a naa. To naah a taengah kaom kaminawk boih to tasa bangah tacawt o king.
19Then returning from Galgal, where the idols were, be said to the king: I have a secret message to thee, O king. And he commanded silence: and all being gone out that were about him,
20Siangpahrang loe ni nat naah anghnuthaih ahmuen ah angmah bueng anghnut. Ehud mah anih khaeah, Sithaw khae ih lok nang han kang sinh, tiah a naa. Siangpahrang loe anghnuthaih ahmuen hoiah angthawk tahang.
20Aod went in to him: now he was sitting in a summer parlour alone, and he said: I have a word from God to thee. And he forthwith rose up from his throne,
21To naah Ehud mah, A banqoi ban hoiah a bantang phaih pongah angnaeng ih sumsen to aphongh moe, siangpahrang to zok ah a thunh.
21And Aod put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly,
22Sumsen toeng akun boih khoek to a thunh, ahnuk bang khoek to sumsen to pra; a thawk mah padap khoep pongah, sumsen to aphong thai ai.
22With such force that the haft went in after the blade into the wound, and was closed up with the abundance of fat. So that he did not draw out the dagger, but left it in his body as he had struck it in. And forthwith by the secret parts of nature the excrements of the belly came out.
23To pacoengah Ehud loe imhmaa bangah caeh moe, thok khah khoep pacoengah, cabi takraeng thuih caeng.
23But Aod carefully shutting the doors of the parlour and locking them,
24Anih caeh pacoengah, a tamnanawk angzoh o; toe thok khah khoep moe, takraeng ih thok to hnuk o naah, siangpahrang loe ni nat naah angsonghaih ahmuen ah anghak kalang mue, tiah thuih o.
24Went out by a postern door. And the king’s servants going in, saw the doors of the parlour shut, and they said: Perhaps he is easing nature in his summer parlour.
25Nihcae loe azatpaw khoek to zing o, anih mah thok paong ai naah loe, cabi to a lak o moe, thok to paong o; khenah, nihcae ih angraeng loe long ah duek sut.
25And waiting a long time till they were ashamed, and seeing that no man opened the door, they took a key: and opening, they found their lord lying dead on the ground.
26Nihcae mah zing o nathung ah Ehud loe loih ving boeh; thlung lakhaih ahmuen ah caeh moe, Seirah avang bang hoiah a loih ving.
26But Aod, while they were in confusion, escaped, and passed by the place of the idols, from whence he had returned. And he came to Seirath:
27To ahmuen to a phak naah, Ephraim mae nui hoiah mongkah to a uengh; Israel kaminawk loe anih hoi nawnto mae nui hoiah anghumh o tathuk, anih mah nihcae to caeh haih.
27And forthwith he sounded the trumpet in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel went down with him, he himself going in the front.
28Ka hnukah bang oh; Angraeng mah na misa Moab kaminawk to nangcae ban ah paek boeh, tiah a naa. To pongah kaminawk loe anih hnukah bang o tathuk moe, Moab prae caehhaih Jordan vapui yaeh ah caeh o, mi kawbaktih doeh vapui angkatsak ai.
28And he said to them: Follow me: for the Lord hath delivered our enemies the Moabites into our hands. And they went down after him, and seized upon the fords of the Jordan, which are in the way to Moab: and they suffered no man to pass over.
29To nathuem ah thacak Moab misatuh kami sang hato a hum o; kami maeto doeh loih o ai.
29But they slew of the Moabites at that time, about ten thousand, all strong and Valiant men: none of them could escape.
30To na niah Moab kaminawk loe Israel kaminawk khaeah angpaek o. To nathuem hoi kamtong saning quitazetto thung prae thungah monghaih to oh.
30And Moab was humbled that day under the hand of Israel: and the land rested eighty years.
31Ehud pacoengah, Anath capa Shamgar mah doeh, Philistin kami cumvai tarukto tayae toeng hoiah hum; anih mah doeh Israel kaminawk to pahlong.
31After him was Samgar the son of Anath, who slew of the Philistines six hundred men with a ploughshare: and he also defended Israel.
