Judges 8:4-21 in Kannada

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

5 And 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.

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

7 And 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.

8 And 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.

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

10 Now 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.

11 And 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.

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

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

14 And 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.

15 And 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?

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

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

18 Then 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.

19 And 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.

20 And 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.

21 Then 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.

4 ಗಿದ್ಯೋನನು ಯೊರ್ದನಿಗೆ ಬಂದು ಅದನ್ನು ದಾಟಿ ಅವನೂ ಅವನ ಸಂಗಡ ಇದ್ದ ಮುನ್ನೂರು ಜನರೂ ದಣಿದವರಾಗಿಯೂ ಹಿಂದಟ್ಟುವವರಾಗಿಯೂ ಇದ್ದರು.
And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them.

5 ಅವನು ಸುಖೋತಿನ ಮನುಷ್ಯರಿಗೆ--ದಯಮಾಡಿ ನನ್ನ ಕೂಡ ಇರುವ ಜನರಿಗೆ ಕೆಲವು ರೊಟ್ಟಿಗಳನ್ನು ಕೊಡಿರಿ. ಅವರು ದಣಿದಿದ್ದಾರೆ; ನಾನು ಮಿದ್ಯಾನ್ಯರ ಅರಸುಗಳಾದ ಜೆಬಹನನ್ನೂ ಚಲ್ಮುನ್ನನನ್ನೂ ಹಿಂದಟ್ಟು ತ್ತೇನೆ ಅಂದನು.
And 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.

6 ಆದರೆ ಸುಖೋತಿನ ಪ್ರಧಾನರು ಅವನಿಗೆ--ನಿನ್ನ ಸೈನ್ಯಕ್ಕೆ ನಾವು ರೊಟ್ಟಿ ಕೊಡುವಂತೆ ಜೆಬಹ ಚಲ್ಮುನ್ನರ ಕೈ ನಿನ್ನ ಕೈ ವಶವಾಗಿದೆಯೋ ಅಂದರು.
And the princes of Succoth said, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we should give bread unto thine army?

7 ಆಗ ಗಿದ್ಯೋನನು--ಹಾಗಾದರೆ ಕರ್ತನು ಜೆಬಹನನ್ನೂ ಚಲ್ಮುನ್ನನನ್ನೂ ನನ್ನ ಕೈಯಲ್ಲಿ ಒಪ್ಪಿಸಿ ಕೊಟ್ಟ ತರುವಾಯ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಮಾಂಸವನ್ನು ಅರಣ್ಯದ ಮುಳ್ಳುಗಳಿಂದಲೂ ನೆಗ್ಗಿಲು ಮುಳ್ಳುಗಳಿಂದಲೂ ಹರಿದುಬಿಡುವೆನು ಅಂದನು.
And 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.

8 ಅಲ್ಲಿಂದ ಪೆನೂವೇ ಲಿಗೆ ಹೋಗಿ ಆ ಊರಿನವರ ಸಂಗಡ ಆ ಪ್ರಕಾರವೇ ಮಾತನಾಡಿದನು. ಅವರು ಸುಖೋತಿನ ಮನುಷ್ಯರು ಪ್ರತ್ಯುತ್ತರಕೊಟ್ಟ ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ಪ್ರತ್ಯುತ್ತರಕೊಟ್ಟರು.
And 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.

9 ಆಗ ಅವನು ಪೆನೂವೇಲಿನ ಮನುಷ್ಯರಿಗೆ ಸಹ--ನಾನು ಸಮಾಧಾನವಾಗಿ ತಿರಿಗಿ ಬರುವಾಗ ಈ ಗೋಪು ರವನ್ನು ಕೆಡವಿಬಿಡುವೆನು ಅಂದನು.
And he spake also unto the men of Penuel, saying, When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower.

10 ಆದರೆ ಜೆಬಹನೂ ಚಲ್ಮುನ್ನನೂ ತಮ್ಮ ಸೈನ್ಯವಾದ ಹೆಚ್ಚುಕಡಿಮೆ ಹದಿನೈದು ಸಾವಿರ ಜನರ ಸಂಗಡ ಕರ್ಕೋರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಇದ್ದರು. ಇವರೆಲ್ಲಾ ಕತ್ತಿ ಹಿಡಿಯತಕ್ಕ ಲಕ್ಷದ ಇಪ್ಪತ್ತು ಸಾವಿರ ಜನ ಬಿದ್ದುಹೋದಾಗ ಮೂಡಣದ ಸಮಸ್ತ ಮಕ್ಕಳು ಅಲ್ಲಿ ಉಳಿದರು.
Now 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.

11 ಗಿದ್ಯೋನನು ನೋಬಹ, ಯೊಗ್ಬೆಹಾ ಇವುಗಳ ಮೂಡಣದಲ್ಲಿದ್ದ ಡೇರೆಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ವಾಸಿಸಿರುವವರ ಮಾರ್ಗವಾಗಿ ಹೋಗಿ ಆ ದಂಡನ್ನು ಹೊಡೆದು ಬಿಟ್ಟನು. ಯಾಕಂದರೆ ಆ ದಂಡು ಭದ್ರವಾಗಿತ್ತು.
And 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.

12 ಜೆಬಹನೂ ಚಲ್ಮುನ್ನನೂ ಓಡಿಹೋದದರಿಂದ ಅವನು ಮಿದ್ಯಾನ್ಯರ ಇಬ್ಬರು ಅರಸುಗಳಾದ ಜೆಬಹ ನನ್ನೂ ಚಲ್ಮುನ್ನನನ್ನೂ ಹಿಂದಟ್ಟಿ ಹಿಡಿದು ದಂಡನ್ನೆಲ್ಲಾ ಚದರಿಸಿಬಿಟ್ಟರು.
And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled, he pursued after them, and took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and discomfited all the host.

13 ಯೋವಾಷನ ಮಗನಾದ ಗಿದ್ಯೋನನು ಸೂರ್ಯೋದಯಕ್ಕೆ ಮುಂಚೆ ಯುದ್ಧ ತೀರಿಸಿಕೊಂಡು ತಿರಿಗಿಬಂದು
And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle before the sun was up,

14 ಸುಖೋತಿನ ಮನುಷ್ಯರಲ್ಲಿ ಒಬ್ಬ ಯೌವನಸ್ಥನನ್ನು ಹಿಡಿದು ಅವನನ್ನು ಕೇಳಿದಾಗ ಅವನು--ಸುಖೋತಿನ ಪ್ರಧಾನರೂ ಹಿರಿಯರೂ ಆದ ಎಪ್ಪತ್ತೇಳು ಜನರನ್ನು ಅವನಿಗೆ ವಿವರಿಸಿದನು.
And 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.

15 ಗಿದ್ಯೋನನು ಸುಖೋತಿನ ಮನುಷ್ಯರ ಬಳಿಗೆ ಬಂದು--ಇಗೋ, ದಣಿದಿರುವ ನಿನ್ನ ಮನುಷ್ಯರಿಗೆ ನಾವು ರೊಟ್ಟಿಯನ್ನು ಕೊಡುವ ಹಾಗೆ ಜೆಬಹ ಚಲ್ಮು ನ್ನರ ಕೈ ಈಗಲೇ ನಿನ್ನ ಕೈವಶವಾಗಿದೆಯೋ ಎಂದು ನೀವು ನನ್ನನ್ನು ನಿಂದಿಸಿದ ಜೆಬಹನನ್ನೂ ಚಲ್ಮುನ್ನನನ್ನೂ ನೋಡಿರಿ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿ
And 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?

16 ಪಟ್ಟಣದ ಹಿರಿಯರನ್ನು ಹಿಡಿದು ಅರಣ್ಯದ ಮುಳ್ಳುಗಳನ್ನೂ ನೆಗ್ಗಿಲು ಮುಳ್ಳು ಗಳನ್ನೂ ತಕ್ಕೊಂಡು ಅವುಗಳಿಂದ ಸುಖೋತಿನ ಮನು ಷ್ಯರಿಗೆ ಬುದ್ದಿಕಲಿಸಿದನು.
And he took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness and briers, and with them he taught the men of Succoth.

17 ಪೆನೂವೇಲಿನ ಗೋಪುರ ವನ್ನು ಕೆಡವಿ ಆ ಪಟ್ಟಣದ ಮನುಷ್ಯರನ್ನು ಕೊಂದು ಹಾಕಿದನು.
And he beat down the tower of Penuel, and slew the men of the city.

18 ಅವನು ಜೆಬಹನಿಗೂ ಚಲ್ಮುನ್ನನಿಗೂ--ನೀವು ತಾಬೋರದಲ್ಲಿ ಕೊಂದುಹಾಕಿದ ಆ ಮನುಷ್ಯರು ಹೇಗಿದ್ದರು ಅಂದನು. ಅದಕ್ಕವರು--ನಿನ್ನ ಹಾಗೆಯೇ; ಅವರು ಒಬ್ಬೊಬ್ಬರು ರೂಪದಲ್ಲಿ ಅರಸನ ಮಕ್ಕಳಾ ಗಿದ್ದರು ಅಂದರು.
Then 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.

19 ಅದಕ್ಕವನು--ಅವರು ನನ್ನ ತಾಯಿಯ ಮಕ್ಕಳು, ನನ್ನ ಸಹೋದರರು; ಕರ್ತನ ಜೀವದ ಆಣೆ ನೀವು ಅವರನ್ನು ಬದುಕಿಸಿದ್ದರೆ ನಿಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಕೊಲ್ಲುವದಿಲ್ಲ ಅಂದನು.
And 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.

20 ತನ್ನ ಚೊಚ್ಚಲ ಮಗನಾದ ಎತೆರನಿಗೆ--ನೀನೆದ್ದು ಅವರನ್ನು ಕೊಂದುಹಾಕು ಅಂದನು. ಆದರೆ ಆ ಯುವಕನು ತನ್ನ ಕತ್ತಿಯನ್ನು ಬಿಚ್ಚದೆ ಹೋದನು; ಯಾಕಂದರೆ ಅವನು ಇನ್ನೂ ಹುಡುಗನಾದದರಿಂದ ಭಯಪಟ್ಟನು.
And 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.

21 ಆಗ ಜೆಬ ಹನೂ ಚಲ್ಮುನ್ನನೂ--ನೀನು ಎದ್ದು ನಮ್ಮ ಮೇಲೆ ಬೀಳು; ಮನುಷ್ಯನು ಹೇಗೋ ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ಅವನ ಬಲವು ಇರುವದು ಅಂದರು.
Then 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.
