Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1Sie len ah Gideon ac mwet lal nukewa toang tukakek ac tulokinya lohm nuknuk selos sisken Unon in Kof Harod. Ac mwet Midian elos muta infahlfal uh nu epang in Eol Moreh.
1Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people that were with him, rose up early, and pitched beside En-harod; and the camp of Midian was on the north side of them, by Gibeath-moreh, in the valley.
2LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Gideon, “Mwet ma wi kom inge arulana pusla nu ke kutangla se nga ac sang nu selos fin mwet Midian inge. Sahp ac tuh oru elos nunku mu elos sifacna pa oru kutangla se inge, ac elos tiana akilenyu kac.
2And the LORD said unto Gideon: 'The people that are with thee are too many for Me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel vaunt themselves against Me, saying: mine own hand hath saved me.
3Fahk nu sin mwet an, ‘Fin oasr mwet sangeng, in folokla nu yen selos an, ac kut ac mutana in acn se inge ke Fineol Gilead.’” Na tausin longoul luo selos folokla, ac tausin singoul na muta.
3Now therefore make proclamation in the ears of the people, saying: Whosoever is fearful and trembling, let him return and depart early from mount Gilead.' And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand.
4Na LEUM GOD El sifil fahk nu sel Gideon, “Srakna pusla mwet an. Pwanulosla nu infacl ah, ac nga ac fah sraclik mwet an we. Nga fin fahk mu mwet se ac fal in wi, na el wi. Ac nga fin mu mwet se tia fal in wi, na el tia wi.”
4And the LORD said unto Gideon: 'The people are yet too many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there; and it shall be, that of whom I say to thee: This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee: This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go.'
5Na Gideon el usya mwet uh nu infacl ah. Ac LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel, “Srela mwet nukewa ma nim kof ke lohulos oana kosro ngalngul uh liki mwet nukewa su sikukmutunte ke elos nim kof an.”
5So he brought down the people unto the water; and the LORD said unto Gideon: 'Everyone that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink.'
6Oasr mwet tolfoko na su yucukak kof inpaolos ac nim ke lohulos, a mwet saya nukewa elos sikukmutunte ac nim kof.
6And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was three hundred men; but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water.
7Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Gideon, “Nga ac fah molikomla ac sot kutangla nu sum fin mwet Midian inge ke mwet tolfoko na ma nim kof ke lohulos inge. Fahkang mwet nukewa saya an in som nu yen selos an.”
7And the LORD said unto Gideon: 'By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thy hand; and let all the people go every man unto his place.'
8Na Gideon el supwala mwet Israel nukewa nu yen selos an, sayen mwet tolfoko su el sap in orani mwe mongo ac mwe ukuk nukewa ma oasr. Mwet Midian elos muta ke infahlfal se oan ten ah.
8So they took the victuals of the people in their hand, and their horns; and he sent all the men of Israel every man unto his tent, but retained the three hundred men; and the camp of Midian was beneath him in the valley.
9In fong sac LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Gideon, “Tuyak ac mweunelos in nien aktuktuk lalos an. Nga sot kutangla nu sum.
9And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto him: 'Arise, get thee down upon the camp; for I have delivered it into thy hand.
10Tusruk kom fin sangeng in lainulos, kom ac mwet kulansap se lom an Purah tufokla nu nien aktuktuk lalos an.
10But if thou fear to go down, go thou with Purah thy servant down to the camp.
11Kom ac fah lohng ma elos srumun an, ac ke kom ac lohng an kom ac fah kui ac pulaik in lainulos.” Na Gideon ac mwet kulansap se lal inge, Purah, eltal oatula nu sisken nien aktuktuk lun mwet lokoalok lalos.
11And thou shalt hear what they say; and afterward shall thy hands be strengthened to go down upon the camp.' Then went he down with Purah his servant unto the outermost part of the armed men that were in the camp.
12Mwet Midian, mwet Amalek, ac mwet forfor yen mwesis elos oalik infahlfal uh oana pusiyen locust, ac pusiyen camel natulos pus oana puk weacn uh.
12Now the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like locusts for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand which is upon the sea-shore for multitude.
13Ke Gideon el sun acn ma mwet lokoalok inge aktuktuk we, el lohng sramsram lun sie mwet ke el srumun mweme se lal nu sin kawuk se lal. El fahk ouinge, “Nga mweme mu srukwal in bread barley se ipipme nu nien aktuktuk sesr uh twe tukya sie lohm nuknukuh. Na lohm sac ikori ac oankiyuki infohk uh.”
13And when Gideon was come, behold, there was a man telling a dream unto his follow, and saying: 'Behold, I dreamed a dream, and, lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian, and came unto the tent, and smote it that it fell, and turned it upside down, that the tent lay flat.'
14Na kawuk se lal ah fahk, “Cutlass nutin mwet Israel se pa ingan — Gideon, wen natul Joash! Pa inge kalmen mweme sacn, wangin pac sie kalmac saya! God El sang kutangla nu sel Gideon fin mwet Midian ac mwet mweun wiasr nukewa!”
14And his fellow answered and said: 'This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: into his hand God hath delivered Midian, and all the host.'
15Ke Gideon el lohng mweme se lun mwet se inge, ac kalmen mweme sac, el sikukmutunteyak ac alu nu sin LEUM GOD . Na el folokla nu nien aktuktuk lun mwet Israel ac fahk, “Tukakek! LEUM GOD El asot kutangla nu suwos fin mwet mweun lun Midian!”
15And it was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he worshipped; and he returned into the camp of Israel, and said: 'Arise; for the LORD hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian.'
16El kitalik mwet tolfoko lal inge nu ke u tolu, ac sang nu sin kais sie mwet sie mwe ukuk ac pisin sufa soko ma fulack firir soko oan loac.
16And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put into the hands of all of them horns, and empty pitchers, with torches within the pitchers.
17Ac el fahk nu selos, “Ke pacl se nga ac sun sisken nien aktuktuk lalos, kowos liyeyu ac oru oana ke nga ac oru uh.
17And he said unto them: 'Look on me, and do likewise; and, behold, when I come to the outermost part of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall ye do.
18Ke pacl se nga ac u luk uh ac ukya mwe ukuk uh, na kowos ukya mwe ukuk an ac raunela nien aktuktuk lalos an, ac sasa ac fahk, ‘Kut oru ma inge ke Inen LEUM GOD ac ke inel Gideon!’”
18When I blow the horn, I and all that are with me, then blow ye the horns also on every side of all the camp, and say: For the LORD and for Gideon!'
19Ac Gideon ac mwet siofok lal elos tuku nu nien aktuktuk uh meet kutu liki infulwen fong, tukunna mwet soan we ah ayaol. Na elos ukya mwe ukuk ac fukul pisin sufa elos us uh.
19So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outermost part of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch, when they had but newly set the watch; and they blew the horns, and broke in pieces the pitchers that were in their hands.
20Ac u luo saya ah elos oru oapana. Elos sruok fulack firir lalos uh in lac paolos lasa, ac mwe ukuk uh ke lac po layot, ac sasa. Elos wowoyak fahk, “Cutlass uh ma nu sin LEUM GOD ac nu sel Gideon!”
20And the three companies blew the horns, and broke the pitchers, and held the torches in their left hands, and the horns in their right hands wherewith to blow; and they cried: 'The sword for the LORD and for Gideon!'
21Mwet nukewa tu raunela nien aktuktuk lun mwet lokoalok, ac mwet lokoalok elos wowo ac kaing.
21And they stood every man in his place round about the camp; and all the host ran; and they shouted, and fled.
22Ke mwet lal Gideon inge tuh uk mwe ukuk tolfoko natulos, LEUM GOD El oru tuh mwet lokoalok inge in sifacna forani aacnwuki ke cutlass natulos. Elos kaing ke inkanek nu Zarethan nwe ke elos sun acn Beth Shittah, ke siti lun Abel Meholah su apkuran nu Tabbath.
22And they blew the three hundred horns, and the LORD set every man's sword a against his fellow, even throughout all the host; and the host fled as far as Beth-shittah toward Zererah, as far as the border of Abel-meholah, by Tabbath.
23Na suliyukme mwet in sruf lal Naphtali, ac sruf lal Asher, ac sruf luo lun Manasseh kewa, ac elos ukwe mwet Midian inge.
23And the men of Israel were gathered together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after Midian.
24Ac Gideon el supwala mwet utuk kas in som sasla fineol in facl Ephraim ac fahk, “Tufoki ac mweuni mwet Midian. Kowos kosrala acn ke Infacl Jordan nwe sun acn Bethbarah, mwet Midian inge in tia tupalla.” Na mwet Ephraim elos toeni ac kosrala Infacl Jordan nwe sun acn Bethbarah.
24And Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill-country of Ephraim, saying: 'Come down against Midian, and take before them the waters, as far as Beth-barah, and also the Jordan.' So all the men of Ephraim were gathered together, and took the waters as far as Beth-barah, and also the Jordan.
25Mwet Israel elos sruokya mwet kol luo lun mwet Midian, Oreb ac Zeeb. Elos unilya Oreb sisken eot lulap pangpang Eot lal Oreb. Ac elos unilya Zeeb ke Nien Fut Wain lal Zeeb. Na elos sifilpa ukwe mwet Midian. Ac elos use sifal Oreb ac sifal Zeeb nu yen Gideon el muta we kutulap in Infacl Jordan, ac sang nu sel.
25And they took the two princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb; and they slew Oreb at the Rock of Oreb, and Zeeb they slew at the Winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian; and they brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon beyond the Jordan.
