1 Eso afaega, Gidione amola ea dadi gagui dunu huluane hahabedafa wa: legadole, wa: i asili, Ha: ilode hano bubuga: su amo gadenene ha wa: i fi. Midia: ne fi dunu ilia hawa: i fisu da Isala: ili fi ilia fisisu amo gadili guga Moule Agolo fago amo gadenene dialebe, amogawi ba: i.
Jerub-baal (Gideon) and those who were with him got up early and went and camped by the Harod spring. The Midianite camp was to the north in the valley near the Moreh hill.
2 Hina Gode da Gidionema amane sia: i, “Na da dilia Midia: ne fi dunu ili hasalasima: ne fidimu. Be di sigi aligisu dunu da bagohamedafa ba: sa. Isala: ili dunu ilia da ilisu Midia: ne fi dunu hasali, amo sia: sa: besa: le, amola Nama hame nodosa: besa: le,
The Lord told Gideon, “There are too many soldiers with you for me to hand over the Midianites to them, otherwise Israel will brag to me, saying, ‘I saved myself by my own strength.’
3 Isala: ili dunuma amane sia: ma, ‘Nowa dunu da beda: i galea, e da ea diasuga buhagimu da defea. Be ninia mogili da Gilia: de Goumia esalumu.’” Amaiba: le, dunu22,000 agoane da ilia diasuga buhagi. Be dunu 10,000 da ouesalu.
So tell the soldiers, ‘Anyone who is worried or afraid can leave Mount Gilead and go back home.’” Twenty-two thousand of them went back home, but ten thousand stayed.
4 Amalalu, Hina Gode da Gidionema amane sia: i, “Wali amola dia dunu idi da bagohamedafa ba: sa. Dia ili huluane hanoa gudu amogai oule sa: ima. Amogai na da ili momogilisimu. Na da dunu afae dia sigi masa: ne sia: sea, e da masunu. Be Na da eno dunu mae masa: ne sia: sea, e da hame masunu.”
Then the Lord told Gideon, “There are still too many soldiers. Take them down to the water and I will reduce them for you. Whoever I tell you, ‘He shall go with you,’ he shall go. But anyone that I say, ‘He shall not go with you,’ he shall not go.”
5 Gidione da ea dunu amo hanoa oule sa: ili, Hina Gode da ema amane sia: i, “Nowa dunu ilia da wa: me agoane hano leba: le nasea, amola nowa ilia da muguni bugili hano nosone nasea, amo dia mogima.”
Gideon took the soldiers down to the water. The Lord told Gideon, “Set to one side those who lap the water with their tongues, like a dog does, and on the other side those who kneel down to drink.”
6 Dunu 300 agoane da hano amo loboga ofodalu leba: le nasu. Be dunu eno huluane da muguni bugili, hano nosona dasu.
Three hundred lapped water from their hands to their mouths. All the rest knelt down to drink the water.
7 Hina Gode Ea da Gidionema amane sia: i, “Na da di fidimuba: le, di amola dunu 300 amo da hano loboga ofodalu leba: le nasu, amo fawane da Midia: ne dunu fi ili hasalasimu. Eno dunu huluane ilia diasuga buhagima: ne sia: ma.”
The Lord told Gideon, “With these three hundred men that lapped I will save you and hand over the Midianites to you. Let all the rest of the soldiers go home.”
8 Amalalu, Gidione da amo dunu 300 amo fawane esaloma: ne sia: i. Eno huluane e da ilia diasuga buhagima: ne asunasi. Be Gidione amola amo dunu 300 da liligi sagosu, amola dalabede huluane gegedole legei.
The three hundred took over the supplies and trumpets of the others. Gideon sent all the rest home, but held onto the three hundred men. The Midianite camp was below him in the valley.
9 Amo gasia, Hina Gode da Gidionema amane sia: i, “Wa: legadole, Midia: ne hawa: i fisu amo doagala: ma! Na fidimuba: le, dia da ili osa: la heda: mu.
That night the Lord spoke to Gideon, “Get up, go down and attack the camp, for I have handed it over to you.
10 Be di da beda: iba: le, doagala: mu hamedei ba: sea, di amola dia hawa: hamosu dunu Fiula, Midia: ne dunu ilia fia amo gudu sa: ima.
But if you are afraid to go down, go with your servant Purah to the camp.
11 Amogawi, alia da ilia fada: i sia: dalebe nabimu. Amasea di da ilima mae beda: iwane doagala: mu.” Amaiba: le, Gidione amola ea hawa: hamosu dunu Fiula da ilia ha lai dunu hawa: i fisu bega: gudu sa: i.
You'll hear what they're talking about and then you'll have the courage to attack the camp.” So he took his servant Purah with him and went to the edge of the camp where armed men were on guard.
12 Midia: ne fi dunu, A:malege fi dunu amola hafoga: i soge fi dunu da fago ganodini fiafia: i esalebe ba: i. Ilia wa: i da danuba: wa: i agoane ba: i. Idimu hamedei agoai ba: i. Ilia ga: mele idi da sa: iboso hano wayabo bagade bega: dialebe amo defele ba: i.
The Midianites, Amalekites, and all the peoples of the East filled the valley like a swarm of locusts, and as for their camels, they were as uncountable as the sand on the seashore.
13 Gidione da Midia: ne awali asili fisisu amoga doaga: loba, e da Midia: ne dunu afae ea fi dunu ilima ea simasia ba: i liligi adolalebe nabi. E da amane adolalu, “Na da simasia agoane ba: i. Bali agi ga: gi gasui da bebesola asili, ninia fisisu amo ganodini misini, abula diasu afadafa fai. Abula diasu da mugululi sa: ili, bana: na sa: i ba: i.”
Just as Gideon arrived, a man was telling his friend about a dream he'd had. He was saying, “I had this dream. I dreamed I saw a round loaf of barley bread come rolling into the Midianite camp. It hit a tent, knocking it upside-down, flat on the ground!”
14 Ea fi dunu da ema bu adole i, “Dafawane! Goe da Isala: ili dunu Gidione, Youa: se egefe amo ea gegesu gobihei sedade olelesa. Bai eno da hame gala. Gode da Gidione ninia Midia: ne fi dadi gagui huluane ili hasalasima: ne, logo doasi dagoi.”
“This can only represent the victory by the sword of Gideon, son of Joash, a man of Israel,” his friend answered. “God has handed over to him the Midianites and everyone else camped here.”
15 Gidione da amo simasia ba: i amola amo ea bai nabaloba, e da ea muguni dudugini sa: ili, Godema nodone sia: ne gadoi. Amalalu, e da Isala: ili dunu ilia awalia asili fisisu amoga bu asili, Isala: ili dunu ilima amane sia: i, “Wa: legadoma! Hina Gode da nini Midia: ne dadi gagui ilima osa: la heda: ma: ne logo doasi dagoi.”
When Gideon heard the dream and what it meant, he bowed in thanks to God. He went back to the Israelite camp and announced, “On your feet! For the Lord has handed over the Midianite camp to you!”
16 E da ea fi dunu 300 amo udiana agoane momogi. E da dunu huluane afae afae ilima dalabede amola ganagu osoboga hamoi i dagoi.
He divided the three hundred men into three companies. He handed them all trumpets, and empty jars with torches inside them.
17 E da ilima amane sia: i, “Na da Midia: ne fisisu bidiga doaga: sea, dilia na hou ba: lalu amo defele hamoma.
“Watch me and follow my example,” he told them. “So when I get to the edge of the camp, do exactly what I do.
18 Na amola na dunu gilisisu da ninia dalabede fulabosea, dilia amola hawa: i fisu fiafia: le esala amo sisiga: le, dilia dalabede fulabole, bagadewane amane wele sia: ma, ‘Ninia da Hina Gode amola Gidione elamagale gegesa.’”
Immediately I and those with me blow the trumpets, then you blow your trumpets from all around the camp, and shout, ‘For the Lord and for Gideon!’”
19 Gidione amola ema fa: no bobogesu dunu 100 agoane da gasimoga Midia: ne amola A: malege ilia fisisu bega: doaga: i. Ilia amo fisisu sosodo aligisu dunu da afadenei dagoi ba: i. Amalalu, ilia da dalabede fulaboi amola osobo ganagu ilia lobo ganodini gagui amo goudai.
Gideon and the hundred men who with him arrived at the edge of the camp around midnight, after the guards were changed. They blew their trumpets and smashed the jars they were holding.
20 Gidione ea fi aduna eno da amo defele hamoi. Ilia da ilia hanu amo ilia lobo fofadi amoga gaguli amola ilia dalabede lobodafa amo ganodini gaguli, amane wele sia: i, “Gobihei bagade Hina Gode amola Gidione elamagale gegemusa: gala.”
All three companies blew their trumpets and smashed their jars. They held the torches in their left hands and the trumpets in their right hands, and they shouted, “A sword for the Lord and for Gideon!”
21 Gidione ea fi dunu da fisisu sisiga: le lelu. Amola ha lai dadi gagui dunu da beda: iba: le, wele sia: nanu, hobea: i.
Each man stood in his place encircling the camp, and all the enemy soldiers ran around shouting—then they fled.
22 Gidione ea dunu da dalabede fulabolalu, Hina Gode da Midia: ne dunu ilia dogo ganodini olelebeba: le, ilia da sama eno ea sama amoma doagala: i. Ilia da Sa: leda: ne moilaiga doaga: musa: asili, Bedesida moilai amola A: ibele Mihoula moilai (Da: bade soge gadenene) amoga doaga: i.
When they blew the three hundred trumpets, the Lord made all the men in the camp attack one other with their swords. The enemy army fled to Beth-shittah near Zererah, all the way to the border of Abel Meholah near Tabbath.
23 Amalalu Gidione da Na: fadalai fi, A:sie fi amola Mana: se fi aduna ilima misa: ne sia: nanu, ilia da Midia: ne dunu sebobogelalu.
The Israelite soldiers were summoned from Naphtali, Asher, and all of Manasseh, and they chased after the Midianites.
24 Gidione da sia: adola ahoasu dunu asunasi. Ilia da Ifala: ime agolo soge amoga lalu, amane sia: i, “Midia: ne dunuma gegemusa: , gudu sa: ima. Ilia da Yodane Hano amola hano huluane asili Bedebala amoga doaga: sa, amo ilia mae degema: ne, noga: le ouligima.” Ilia da Ifala: ime dunu huluane gagadomusa: sia: i, amola ilia da hano huluane amo Yodane Hano amola hano huluane asili, Bedebala amoga doaga: su, amo huluane gagulaligi.
Gideon sent messengers through all the hill country of Ephraim saying, “Come and attack the Midianites, and take control of the Jordan fords ahead of them as far as Beth-barah.” So all the men of Ephraim were summoned, and they took control of the Jordan fords as far as Beth-barah.
25 Ilia da Midia: ne hina dunu aduna amo Oulebe amola Siebe gagulaligi. Ilia da Oulebe amo Oulebe Igi sogebi amoga fuga: i. Amola ilia da Siebe amo Siebe Waini Fage Labugisu amoga fuga: i. Ilia da mae fisili, Midia: ne dunu sefasilalu. Gidione da asili, Yodane Hano ea eso mabe la: idi amoga esalu. Isala: ili dunu da Oulebe amola Siebe ela dialuma damuni, gaguli asili, Gidionema i.
They also captured Oreb and Zeeb, two of the Midianite commanders. They killed Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and Zeeb at the winepress of Zeeb. They continued chasing down the Midianites and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb back to Gideon who was on the other side of the Jordan.
