Bisisu 6
1 Isala: ili dunu ilia da Hina Godema bu wadela: le hamoi. Amaiba: le, E da Midia: ne dunu ilia Isala: ili dunu ode fesuale amoga wadela: lesima: ne logo doasi dagoi.
The people of Israel did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and he gave them into the hand of Midian for seven years.
2 Midia: ne fi dunu ilia gasa da Isala: ili fi ilia gasa baligi. Amaiba: le, Isala: ili fi dunu da magufu gelabo amola eno wamoaligisu sogebi agolo ganodini amoga wamoaligisu.
The power of Midian oppressed Israel. Because of Midian, the people of Israel made shelters for themselves from the dens in the hills, the caves, and the strongholds.
3 Eso huluane, Isala: ili fi dunu da hawa: sagaloba, Midia: ne fi dunu, A:malege fi dunu amola eno hafoga: i sogega fi dunu da gilisili ilima doagala: le gegesu.
It happened that any time the Israelites planted their crops, the Midianites and the Amalekites and the people from the east would attack the Israelites.
4 Ilia da hou agoane hamosu. Ilia da Isala: ili soge amoga fisisu. Amalalu, ilia da Isala: ili dunu ilia sagai amo fana asili, gugaga asili, Ga: isa moilaiga doaga: su. Ilia da Isala: ili dunu ilia sibi, bulamagau amola dougi wamolalusu. Amaiba: le, Isala: ili dunu da liligi hamedene esalusu.
They would set up their army on the land and destroy the crops, all the way to Gaza. They would leave no food in Israel, and no sheep, nor cattle or donkeys.
5 Midia: ne dunu bagohame ilia idi da danuba: wa: i defele ba: i, ilia da Isala: ili soge amoga ilia ohe fi oule misini, ilia abula diasu gagusu. Ilia amola ilia ga: mele da idimu hamedeiwane ba: i. Ilia da misini, soge huluane wadela: lesisu.
Whenever they and their livestock and tents came up, they would come as a swarm of locusts, and it was impossible to count either the people or their camels. They invaded the land in order to destroy it.
6 Isala: ili dunu da gasa hameba: le, ilia logo hedofamusa: gasa bagade ba: i.
Midian weakened the Israelites so severely that the people of Israel called out to Yahweh.
7 Amalalu, Isala: ili dunu da se nababeba: le, Hina Godema wele sia: i. Ilia da Gode Ea fidima: ne, Midia: ne dunu ilia logo hedofama: ne wele sia: i.
When the people of Israel called out to Yahweh because of Midian,
8 Hina Gode da ilima balofede dunu asunasi. Balofede dunu e da ilima amane sia: i, “Isala: ili fi dunu ilia Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, ‘Dilia da hemonega Idibidi soge ganodini udigili lobo lala: gi agoai hawa: hamonanu. Be Na da dili fisili masa: ne gadili oule asi.
Yahweh sent a prophet to the people of Israel. The prophet said to them, “This is what Yahweh, the God of Israel, says: 'I brought you up from Egypt; I brought you out of the house of slavery.
9 Idibidi dunu da dili mae wadela: ma: ne, Na da dili gaga: i. Amola Ga: ina: ne sogega fi dunu da dili mae wadela: ma: ne, Na da dili gaga: i. Dilia da gusuba: i heda: loba, Na da amo dunu sefasisu. Amola Na da ilia soge amo dilima i dagoi.
I rescued you from the hand of the Egyptians, and from the hand of all who were oppressing you. I drove them out before you, and I gave you their land.
10 Na da dilia Hina Godedafa, amo Na da dilima olelei. Amola dilia da A: moulaide dunu, (dilia wali ilia soge ganodini esala) amo ilia ogogosu ‘gode’ liligi ilima mae sia: ne gadoma: ne, Na da sia: i dagoi. Be dilia da Na sia: hame nabi.’”
I said to you, “I am Yahweh your God; I commanded you not to worship the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living.” But you have not obeyed my voice.'”
11 Amalalu, Hina Gode Ea a: igele dunu da Ofala moilai bai bagadega misini, “ouge” ifa amo ea ougiha esalu. Amo ifa da Youa: se (A: ibisa fi dunu) amo ea ifa falifai galu. Youa: se egefe Gidione da Midia: ne dunu ilia ba: sa: besa: le, wamowane widi ha: i manu gisi amo afafama: ne, waini hano hamosu diasu amo ganodini widi gisi dabalebe ba: i.
Now the angel of Yahweh came and sat under the oak in Ophrah, which belonged to Joash (the Abiezrite), while Gideon, Joash's son, was separating out the wheat by beating it on the floor, in the winepress—to hide it from the Midianites.
12 Hina Gode Ea a: igele dunu da ema misini, amane sia: i, “Gasa bagade nimi dunu! Hina Gode da ali esala.”
The angel of Yahweh appeared to him and said to him, “Yahweh is with you, you strong warrior!”
13 Gidione da bu adole i, “Na da dima adole ba: mu gala. Hina Gode da nini esala, di da sia: sa. Amaiba: le amo se nabasu da abuliba: le ninima doaga: bela: ? Ninia ada ilia da Hina Gode Ea gasa bagade hou amo ninima olelei. E da Idibidi sogega nini fisili masa: ne gadili asunasi. Be wali Hina Gode da Midia: ne dunu nini wadela: lesima: ne, fisi dagoi.”
Gideon said to him, “Oh, my master, if Yahweh is with us, why then has all this happened to us? Where are all his wonderful deeds that our fathers told us about, when they said, 'Did not Yahweh bring us up from Egypt?' But now Yahweh has abandoned us and gave us into the hand of Midian.”
14 Amalalu, Hina Gode da Gidione ea hamoma: ne, ema amane olelei, “Dina: gasaga masa! Midia: ne dunu ilia Isala: ili fi mae wadela: ma: ne, di gaga: ma! Na Nisu fawane, da di asunasisa.”
Yahweh looked at him and said, “Go in the strength you already have. Deliver Israel from the hand of Midian. Have I not sent you?”
15 Gidione da bu adole i, “Na da habodane Isala: ili fi gaga: ma: bela: ? Na sosogo fi da Mana: se fi amo ganodini gogaya: i gala. Amola na da na sosogo fi amo ganodini bodogidafa.”
Gideon said to him, “Please, Lord, how can I deliver Israel? See, my family is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least important in my father's house.”
16 Hina Gode da ema bu adole i, “Na da di fidimuba: le, di da amo hamomusa: dawa: mu. Di da Midia: ne dunu huluane hasalili dagomu.”
Yahweh said to him, “I will be with you, and you will defeat the entire Midianite army as one man.”
17 Gidione ea bu adole i, “Di da nama nodosa galea, na da Di dafawane Hina Gode esala, amo dawa: ma: ne, dawa: digisu hou amo nama olelema.
Gideon said to him, “If you are pleased with me, then give me a sign that it is you who is speaking to me.
18 Dafawane! Di da na mae yolesili ouleloma. Na da Dima gobele salasu ha: i manu gaguli misunu,” Gidione amane sia: i. Hina Gode Ea amane sia: i, “Na da di ouesalea, amogainini di bu misunu.”
Please, do not leave here, until I come to you and bring out my gift and set it before you.” Yahweh said, “I will wait until you return.”
19 Amaiba: le, Gidione da hi diasua golili sa: ili, goudi mano sefena afae fane, falaua ea dioi defei da10gilougala: me amo lale, yisidi mae legele, agi ga: gi hamoi. E da goudi hu dabaga salawane, gugu gasa: le, ofodo ganodini salawane, gaguli, Hina Gode a: igele dunu “ouge” ifa baiya lelebe amogili iasi.
Gideon went and prepared a young goat and from an ephah of flour he made unleavened bread. He put the meat in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot and brought them to him under the oak tree, and presented them.
20 A: igele dunu da Gidionema amane sia: i, “Hu amola agi ga: gi lale, igi goe da: iya ligisili, amo da: iya gugu soga: sima.” Gidione da amo defele hamoi dagoi.
The angel of God said to him, “Take the meat and the unleavened bread and put them on this rock, and pour out the broth over them.” That is what Gideon did.
21 Amalalu, Hina Gode Ea a: igele dunu da ea lobo ligiagale, galiamo ea lobo ganodini gagui, amo ea bidiga, e da hu amola agi ga: gi digilisi. Amalalu, lalu da igi da: iya wiligadole, hu amola agi ga: gi nene dagoi. Amalalu, a:igele dunu da asi, hame ba: i.
Then the angel of Yahweh reached out with the end of the staff in his hand. With it he touched the flesh and the unleavened bread; a fire went up out of the rock and consumed the meat and the unleavened bread. Then the angel of Yahweh went away and Gideon could no longer see him.
22 Amaiba: le, Gidione hamugini ba: loba, amo da Hina Gode ea a: igele dunu dawa: i galu. Amola e da bagadewane fofogadigili, beda: ne amane sia: i, “Hina Gode Bagadedafa! Na da Dia a: igele dunu ea odagi amola na odagi migadenei ba: i.”
Gideon understood that this was the angel of Yahweh. Gideon said, “Ah, Lord Yahweh! For I have seen the angel of Yahweh face to face!”
23 Hina Gode da ema amane sia: i, “Asaboma! Mae beda: ma! Di da hame bogomu.”
Yahweh said to him, “Peace to you! Do not be afraid, you will not die.”
24 Gidione da Godema gobele salasu fafai (oloda) amogawi gagui. Amoga, e da amo dio asuli, “Hina Gode da Olofosudafa.” Amo fafai da wali Ofala moilai bai bagadega sagasi dana. (Ofala da A: ibisa fi dunu ilia moilai eno galu).
So Gideon built an altar there to Yahweh. He called it, “Yahweh is Peace.” To this day it still stands at Ophrah of the clan of Abiezer.
25 Amo gasia, Hina Gode da Gidionema amane sia: i, “Dia ada ea bulamagau gawali amola eno bulamagau gawali ode fesuale gala lela, amo lama. Dia ada ea gobele salasu fafai Ba: ilema sia: ne gadomusa: gagui, amo mugululi salima. Amola ogogosu ‘gode’ ifaga hahamoi uda Asila, amola Ba: ile, ela dafulili lelebe go abasalima.
That night Yahweh said to him, “Take your father's bull, and a second bull that is seven years old, and pull apart the altar of Baal that belongs to your father, and cut down the Asherah that is beside it.
26 Dia Hina Godema gobele salasu fafai noga: idafa, goe bi da: iya gaguma. Amalu bulamagau gawali ageyadu e lale, ea da: i hodo huluane gobele salima. Amo gobele salimusa: di Asila ifa abasali lalu amoga lale didili gobele salima.”
Build an altar to Yahweh your God on the top of this place of refuge, and construct it the correct way. Offer the second bull as a burnt offering, using the wood from the Asherah that you cut down.”
27 Amaiba: le, Gidione ea hawa: hamosu dunu mogili, nabuane agoane lale, amola e da Hina Gode Ea ema adoi amo hamoi. E da ea sosogo fi amola ea moilai fi ilima beda: iba: le, yoga hamomu hamedei ba: i. Amaiba: le, e da gasia fawane hamoi.
So Gideon took ten of his servants and did as Yahweh had told him. But because he was too afraid of his father's household and the men of the town to do it during the day, he did it at night.
28 Moilai fi dunu da hahabedafa wa: legadole, ilia da gobele salasu fafai Ba: ilema sia: ne gadomusa: gagui, amola Asila ea ifa abasali dagoi ba: i. Amola bulamagau ageyadu amo da gobele salasu fafai (Gidione ea gagui liligi) amo da: iya gobele sali dagoi, ilia ba: i.
In the morning when the men of the town got up, the altar of Baal was broken down, and the Asherah that was beside it was cut down, and the second bull had been offered on the altar that had been built.
29 Amalalu, ilia amane sia: i, “Nowa dunu da amo hou hamobela: ? Ilia amane lalabilaloba, Youa: se ea mano Gidione ea hamoi, ilia ba: i.
The men of the city said to one another, “Who has done this?” When they talked with others and searched for answers, they said, “Gideon son of Joash has done this thing.”
30 Amalalu, ilia da Youa: sema amane sia: i, “Diagofe ninia fane legemusa: guiguda: oule misa. E da Ba: ile gobele salasu fafai amo mugululi sali amola Asila hou dawa: ma: ne liligi amoga dafulili dialu amo abasali.”
Then the men of the town said to Joash, “Bring out your son so that he may be put to death, because he pulled apart the altar of Baal, and because he cut down the Asherah beside it.”
31 Be Youa: se da dunu huluane ilia da ema fofada: nanu, ilima amane sia: i, “Dilia da Ba: ile amoma gasala: ? Dilia amola e gaga: sala: ? Nowa da ema gale lela, amo da hahabe fane legei dagoi ba: mu. Ba: ile da Godedafa galea, defea, e da hisu hina: gaga: mu. Amo gobele salasu fafai mugululi sali da ea: liligi fawane, dilia: hame.”
Joash said to all who opposed him, “Will you plead the case for Baal? Will you save him? Whoever pleads the case for him, let him be put to death while it is still morning. If Baal is a god, let him defend himself when someone pulls his altar apart.”
32 Amalalu, amohaga amola fa: no ilia da Gidione ea dio da Yeluba: ile, ilia da amane sia: dasu. Bai Youa: se da amane sia: i, “Ba: ile ea da hisu hina: gaga: mu da defea. Gobele salasu fafai mugululi sali da ea: liligi fawane.”
Therefore on that day they called Gideon “Jerub Baal,” because he said, “Let Baal defend himself against him,” because Gideon broke down Baal's altar.
33 Amalalu, Midia: naide fi dunu, A:malege fi dunu amola hafoga: i sogega fi dunu huluane gilisili mogodigili asili, Yodane hano amo degele, Yeseliele fago amogai hawa: i fisu.
Now all the Midianites, the Amalekites, and the people of the east gathered together. They crossed over the Jordan and camped in the Valley of Jezreel.
34 Hina Gode Ea A: silibu da Gidione amoma noga: le seselalu, A:ibisa sosogo fi dunu ilia ema fa: no bobogema: ne, Gidione da dalabede fulaboi.
But the Spirit of Yahweh came over Gideon. Gideon blew a trumpet, calling out the clan of Abiezer, so they might follow him.
35 E da sia: adola ahoasu dunu ilia Mana: se fi dunu da ema fa: no bobogema: ne, adole lama: ne asunasi. E da sia: adola ahoasu dunu A: sie, Sebiulane amola Na: fadalai amo fi dunu ilima adoma: ne asunasi. Amalu, ilia misini, ema madelai.
He sent messengers all throughout Manasseh, and they too, were called out to follow him. He also sent messengers to Asher, Zebulun, and Naphtali, and they went up to meet him.
36 Amalalu, Gidione da Godema amane sia: i, “Dia da amane sia: ba: , Isala: ili fi gaga: ma: ne, Dia da nama fidisu imunu sia: i.
Gideon said to God, “If you intend to use me to save Israel, as you have said—
37 Defea! Na da sibi hinabo houga: i amo houga: i widi dabasu osobo da: iya amogai ligisimu. Be hahabe sibi hinabo houga: i da: iya oubi baeaga nanegai galea, be osobo da: iya da oubi baea hame ba: lalu, Isala: ili dunu fi amo na gaga: ma: ne, Dia da dafawane fidimusa: ilegei, amo na da dawa: mu.”
Look, I am putting a woolen fleece on the threshing floor. If there is dew only on the fleece, and it is dry on all the ground, then I will know that you will use me to save Israel, as you said.”
38 Goe da didili agoane hamoi ba: i. Golale hahabedafa Gidione da wa: legadole, e da ofodo lale ligisili, sibi hinabo houga: i amo lale, oubi baea sibi hinaboga nanegai dialu amo ofodo gelaba ganodini dugini sali. Ofodo da amo hanoga nabaidafa ba: i.
This is what happened—Gideon rose early the next morning, he pressed the fleece together, and wrung out the dew from the fleece, enough to fill a bowl with water.
39 Amalalu, Gidione da Hina Godema amane sia: i, “Hina Gode! Dia nama mae ougima. Na da adoba: su afadafa eno hamomu da defeala: ? Be ha afaega musa: agoane hamosea, sibi hinabo houga: i da hafoga: i amola osobo da nanegai agoane ba: mu da defea.”
Then Gideon said to God, “Do not be angry with me, I will speak one more time. Please allow me one more test using the fleece. This time make the fleece dry, and let there be dew on all the ground around it.”
40 Amo gasia Gode da amo liligi didiliwane hamoi. Golale hahabe, sibi hinabo houga: i da hafoga: i ba: i, be osobo da oubi baeaga nanegai dialebe ba: i.
God did what he asked for that night. The fleece was dry, and there was dew on all the ground around it.
