Bisisu 8
1 Amalalu, Ifala: ime fi dunu da Gidionema amane sia: i, “Di da Midia: ne fi ilima gegemusa: ahoanoba, abuliba: le nini misa: ne hame wele sia: bela: ? Abuliba: le nini se nabima: ne agoane hamobela: ?” Ilia da da: i dione egai.
The men of Ephraim said to Gideon, “What is this you have done to us? You did not call us when you went to fight against Midian.” Then they had a violent argument with him.
2 Be Gidione da ilima bu adole i, “Mae dawa: ma! Dilia hamoi hou da na hamoi bagade baligisa. Dilia fidisu da na fi dunu huluane ilia fidisu amo bagade baligisa.
He said to them, “What have I done now compared to you? Are not the gleanings of Ephraim's grapes better than the full grape harvest of Abiezer?
3 Dilia Gode Ea gasa lai dagoiba: le, Midia: ne ouligisu dunu aduna amo Oulebe amola Siebe fane legei dagoi. Na da dilia gasa bagade hou defele hamomu hamedei agoane ba: i.” E da amo sia: beba: le, Ifala: ime dunu ilia ougi bu gumi ba: i.
God has given you victory over the princes of Midian—Oreb and Zeeb! What have I accomplished compared to you?” Their anger toward him died down when he said this.
4 Gidione amola ea dadi gagui (ilia idi da 300) da Yodane Hano amoga doaga: le degei dagoi. Ilia da bagade helei ba: i, be mae fisili ilia ha lai dunu sefasilalu.
Gideon came to the Jordan and crossed over it, he and the three hundred men who were with him. They were exhausted, yet they still kept up the pursuit.
5 Ilia da Sagode moilaiga doaga: loba, Gidione da Sagode dunu ilima amane sia: i, “Ha: i manu ninima ima. Na dunu da bagade helebe. Na da Midia: ne fi hina bagade dunu aduna amo Siba amola Sa: lamana sefasilala.”
He said to the men of Succoth, “Please give loaves of bread to the people who follow me, for they are exhausted, and I am pursuing Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian.”
6 Be Sagode moilai ouligisu dunu da Gidionema bu adole i, “Ninia abuliba: le dia dadi gagui dunuma ha: i manu ima: bela: ? Di da wali Siba amola Sa: lamana hame gagui.”
Then the officials said, “Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in your hand? Why should we give bread to your army?”
7 Amaiba: le, Gidione da amane sia: i, “Defea! Hina Gode da na fidimuba: le, na da Siba amola Sa: lamana gagumu. Amasea, na da dili aya: gaga: nomei hafoga: i sogega lai amoga famu.”
Gideon said, “When Yahweh has given us victory over Zebah and Zalmunna, I will tear your skin with the desert thorns and briers.”
8 Gidione da bu asili, Beniuele moilaiga doaga: i. E da Sagode moilai dunu amoga edegei defele Beniuele dunuma adole ba: i. Be Beniuele dunu da Sagode dunu ilia hou defele, ha: i manu hame imunu sia: i.
He went up from there to Peniel and spoke to the people there in the same way, but the men of Peniel answered him just as the men of Succoth had answered.
9 Amaiba: le, Gidione da ilima amane sia: i, “Defea! Na da na ha lai ili hasalasili, hahawane bu misunu. Amalalu, na da dilia diasu gado gagagula heda: i amo mugulumu.”
He spoke also to the men of Peniel and said, “When I come again in peace, I will pull down this tower.”
10 Siba amola Sa: lamana elea dadi gagui dunu huluane da Gago moilai bai bagadega gilisibi ba: i. Amo esoga, ilia hafoga: i soge dadi gagui dunu idi da 15,000 fawane ba: i. Eno dadi gagui dunu amo 120,000 da medole legei dagoi ba: i.
Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor with their army, about fifteen thousand men, all who remained out of the entire army of the people of the East, for there had fallen 120,000 men who drew the sword.
11 Gidione da logo amo hafoga: i soge bega: Nouba moilai amola Yogebiha moilaiga eso mabadi la: ididili dialu, amo logoga asi. E da hedolowane Siba amola Sa: lamana ilia dadi gagui wa: i ilima doagala: le, ilia da fofogadigi.
Gideon went up the road taken by tent dwellers, past Nobah and Jogbehah. He defeated the enemy army, because they were not expecting an attack.
12 Midia: ne hina bagade dunu aduna amo Siba amola Sa: lamana da hobea: i. Be Gidione da elama doagala: le bobogele, ela gagulaligi. Amalalu, ela dadi gagui dunu huluane da beda: iba: le, hobea: i
Zebah and Zalmunna fled, and as Gideon pursued them, he captured the two kings of Midian—Zebah and Zalmunna—and set their whole army into a panic.
13 Gidione da hasaliba: le, bu misini, Helese fago ahoasu amoga asili,
Gideon, son of Joash, returned from the battle going through the pass of Heres.
14 e da Sagode moilai goi amo gaguli, ema ea fi dunu ilia hou adole ba: i. Amo goi da Sagode moilai ouligisu dunu bagade 77amo ilia dio dedei.
He caught a young man of Succoth and questioned him. The young man wrote down the names of seventy-seven officials and elders of Succoth.
15 Amalalu, Gidione da Sagode dunu ilima asili, amane sia: i, “Siba amola Sa: lamana da goea. Na da amo dunu hame gaguiba: le, dilia da na dadi gagui dunu hele nababe, ilima ha: i manu imunu higa: i.”
Gideon came to the men of Succoth and said, “Look at Zebah and Zalmunna, about whom you mocked me and said, 'Have you already conquered Zebah and Zalmunna? We do not know that we should give bread to your army.'”
16 Amalalu e da hafoga: i soge aya: gaga: nomei liligi lale, amoga Sagode ouligisu dunu se ima: ne fasu.
Gideon took the elders of the city, and he punished the men of Succoth with the desert thorns and briers.
17 Amola e da diasu gagagula gado heda: i, Beniuele moilaiga mugululi amola Beniuele dunu medole legei dagoi.
Then he pulled down the tower of Peniel and killed the men of that city.
18 Amalalu, Gidione da Siba amola Sa: lamana elama amane adole ba: i, “Alia da Da: ibo moilaiga dunu medole legei. Alia da nowa dunu medole legebela: ?” Ela bu adole i, “Ilia da di agoane ba: i. Huluane da hina bagade ea mano defele agoane ba: i.”
Then Gideon said to Zebah and Zalmunna, “What kind of men did you kill at Tabor?” They answered, “As you are, so were they. Every one of them looked like the son of a king.”
19 Gidione da amane sia: i, “Ilia da nolalalia galu, na: medafa ea mano. Na da dafawane sia: sa. Alia da amo hame medole legei ganiaba, na da ali amola hame medole legela: loba.”
Gideon said, “They were my brothers, the sons of my mother. As Yahweh lives, if you had saved them alive, I would not kill you.”
20 Amalalu, e da ea magobo mano ea dio amo Yeda, amoma amane sia: i, “Defea! Dia ela medole legema!” Be amo goi da ea gegesu gobihei bagade hame duga: le gagui. E da hame asigilaiba: le, beda: i.
He said to Jether (his firstborn), “Get up and kill them!” But the young man did not draw his sword for he was afraid, because he was still a young boy.
21 Amalalu, Siba amola Sa: lamana da Gidionema amane sia: i, “Defea! Disu ani medole legema. Dunudafa da dunudafa ea hawa: hamosu hamomu da defea.” Amaiba: le, Gidione da Siba amola Sa: lamana medole legei dagoi. E da liligi noga: i amo ela ga: mele ilia galogoa amoga gisa: gisi dialu amo lai dagoi.
Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, “Get up yourself and kill us! For as the man is, so is his strength.” Gideon rose and killed Zebah and Zalmunna. He also took off the crescent-shaped ornaments that were on their camels' necks.
22 Amalalu, Isala: ili dunu huluane da Gidionema amane sia: i, “Di amola hobea digaga fi da ninima ouligisuwane esalumu da defea. Di da nini amo Midia: ne dunu iliga gaga: i dagoi.”
Then the men of Israel said to Gideon, “Rule over us—you, your son, and your grandson—because you have saved us out of the hand of Midian.”
23 Be Gidione da bu adole i, “Na da dilima ouligisuwane hame esalumu. Amola nagofe da dilima ouligisuwane hame esalumu. Be Hina Gode Hi fawane da dilima Hina ba: mu.”
Gideon said to them, “I will not rule over you, neither will my son rule over you. Yahweh will rule over you.”
24 E da eno amane sia: i “Na da dilima afae fawane edegesa. Dilia gedu bagedigi Midia: ne dunu ilima lai, amo huluane nama ima.” (Midia: ne dunu da hafoga: i soge dunu fi huluane defele gouli gedu bagedigili salasu.)
Gideon said to them, “Let me make a request of you: Every one of you would give me the earrings from his plunder.” (The Midianites had golden earrings because they were Ishmaelites.)
25 Dunu huluane da bu adole i, “Ninia da hahawane amo liligi dima imunuyo.” Ilia da abula ligisili, dunu huluane da amo da: iya geabagedigisu ilia lai ligisi.
They answered, “We are glad to give them to you.” They spread out a cloak and every man threw on it the earrings from his plunder.
26 Gidione da gouli gedu bagedigi lai dagoi. Ilia dioi defei da 210 gilogala: me gadenene doaga: i. Ilia da eno liligi Gidionema i, amo bagedigi, gisa: gini sali amola ogaya: i abula musa: Midia: ne hina bagade dunu da gasi salasu amola gehea: la ilia da ga: mele ea galogoa ga: si.
The weight of the golden earrings that he requested was 1,700 shekels of gold. This plunder was in addition to the crescent ornaments, the pendants, the purple clothing that was worn by the kings of Midian, and in addition to the chains that had been around their camels' necks.
27 Gidione da amo gouli lale, ogogosu ‘gode’ agoaila loboga hamone, ea moilaidafa Ofala amo ganodini bugisi. Isala: ili dunu huluane iliawa da Gode fisili, Ofala moilai bai bagadega amo loboga hamoi liligima sia: ne gadomusa: asi. Amo liligi da Gidione amola ea sosogo fi ilima sani agoane ba: i.
Gideon made an ephod out of the earrings and put it in his city, in Ophrah, and all Israel prostituted themselves by worshiping it there. It became a trap for Gideon and for those in his house.
28 Amaiba: le, Isala: ili dunu da Midia: ne dunu ili hasalasi amola fa: no Midia: ne dunu da gasa hame ba: i. Amalalu, ode 40 eno amoga, Isala: ili dunu da olofosu ba: i. Amo ode 40 gidigili, Gidione da bogoi dagoi.
So Midian was subdued before the people of Israel and they did not raise their heads up again. So the land had peace for forty years in the days of Gideon.
29 Gidione da hina: moilaidafa amoga buhagili esalu.
Jerub Baal, son of Joash, went and lived in his own house.
30 E da uda bagohame lale, dunu mano 70agoane lalelegei.
Gideon had seventy sons who were his descendants, for he had many wives.
31 E da uda eno lai. Amo da gidisedagi uda e da Siegeme moilaiga lai. Amo uda da dunu mano lalelegei. Gidione da amo manoma Abimelege dio asuli.
His concubine, who was in Shechem, also bore him a son, and Gideon gave him the name Abimelech.
32 Gidione (Youa: se egefe) da ode bagohame gidigili bogoi. Ilia da ea da: i hodo amo ea eda Youa: se ea bogoi uli dogosu Ofala moilai bai bagade (Abiese fi ilia moilai) amoga dialu, amo ganodini sali.
Gideon, son of Joash, died at a good old age and was buried in the tomb of Joash his father, at Ophrah of the clan of Abiezer.
33 Gidione da bogoloba, Isala: ili dunu ilia da bu Gode fisili, Ba: ile ema nodone sia: ne gadoi. Ilia da ema ‘Ba: ile da Gousa: su Hamoi’ dio asuli, amola e da ilia ‘gode’dafa ilia da sia: su.
It came about, as soon as Gideon was dead, the people of Israel turned again and prostituted themselves by worshiping the Baals. They made Baal-Berith their god.
34 Ilia Hina Godedafa da ilima sisiga: i ha lai dunu ilima gaga: i dagoi. Be amo mae dawa: le, ilia da Hina Godema hawa: hamosu yolesi dagoi.
The people of Israel did not remember to honor Yahweh, their God, who had rescued them from the hand of all their enemies on every side.
35 Amola Gidione da Isala: ili dunu fidima: ne, hawa: hamosu ida: iwane hamoi. Be ilia da Gidione ea sosogo fi ilima hame nodoi.
They did not keep their promises to the house of Jerub Baal (that is, Gideon), in return for all the good he had done in Israel.
