Ingilosi kaThixo yafika yahlala ngaphansi kwesihlahla somʼOkhi e-Ofira esasingesikaJowashi umʼAbhiyezeri lapho indodana yakhe uGidiyoni eyayibhula khona amabele esikhamelweni sewayini ukuze iwafihlele amaMidiyani.

Ingilosi kaThixo isibonakele kuGidiyoni yathi kuye, “UThixo ulawe, butho elilamandla.”

UGidiyoni waphendula wathi, “Kodwa nkosi, nxa uThixo elathi, pho kungani konke lokhu kwenzakele kithi? Zingaphi izimanga zakhe zonke obaba abasitshela ngazo besithi, ‘UThixo kasikhuphanga eGibhithe na?’ Kodwa khathesi uThixo usesidelile wasinikela ezandleni zamaMidiyani.”

UThixo waphendukela kuye wathi, “Hamba ngamandla olawo uhlenge u-Israyeli ezandleni zamaMidiyani. Kanti kangikuthumi na?”

UGidiyoni wabuza wathi, “Kodwa nkosi yami, u-Israyeli ngingamhlenga kanjani na? Usendo lwakwethu koManase kalulamandla, njalo mina ngingomncinyane emulini yakwethu.”
16 Hahoi BAWIPA ni a pato teh, hatei nang koe ka o han, Midiannaw teh tami buet touh na thei e patetlah na thei han doeh atipouh.
UThixo waphendula wathi, “Ngizakuba lawe, njalo uzawacakazela phansi wonke amaMidiyani, ungatshiyi lamunye wabo.”
17 Gideon ni nang koehoi minhmai kahawi ka hmawt pawiteh, nang hoi atu kâpatonae panue nahanelah, kamnuenae hno buet touh na hmawt sak haw.
UGidiyoni waphendula wathi, “Nxa khathesi sengithole umusa emehlweni akho, nginika isibonakaliso sokuthi impela nguwe sibili okhuluma lami.
18 Hno buetbuet touh ka sin vaiteh, na hmalah ka thokhai hoehroukrak hete hmuen koehoi na kampuen pouh hanh ei a telah ka kâhei navah ahni ni, na ban hoehroukrak ka o han a ti.
Ngiyakucela ukuba ungahambi ngize ngiphenduke ngilethe umnikelo wami ngiwubeke phambi kwakho.” UThixo wathi, “Ngizahlala uze uphenduke.”

UGidiyoni wangena phakathi wahlaba izinyane lembuzi, wasesenza isinkwa esingelamvubelo ngehefa yefulawa. Esebeke inyama esitsheni lomhluzi wayo embizeni, waphuma lakho wayakunikela kuye ngaphansi komʼOkhi.
20 Hahoi Cathut e kalvantami ni ahni koe, moi hoi tonphuenhoehe hah lat loe, hete talung van hrueng loe, a hang hoi awi loe atipouh. Hottelah a sak pouh.
Ingilosi kaNkulunkulu yathi kuye, “Thatha inyama lesinkwa esingelamvubelo ukubeke phezu kwedwala leli, uthele umhluzi.” UGidiyoni wenza njalo.
21 Hahoi teh, BAWIPA e kalvantami ni a kut dawk a sin e sonron a dâw teh, moi hoi tonphuenhoehe vaiyei hah a nep. Hahoi talung thung hoi a tâco teh, moi hoi tonphuenhoehe vaiyei hmai he a kak pouh. BAWIPA e kalvantami teh yout a kahma pouh.
Ngesihloko somqwayi eyayiwuphethe ingilosi kaThixo yathinta inyama lesinkwa esingelamvubelo. Umlilo walavuka edwaleni watshisa inyama lesinkwa. Ingilosi kaThixo yasinyamalala.
22 Hat torei teh, Gideon ni BAWIPA e kalvantami tie a panue. Hahoi teh, Oe Bawipa Jehovah, atuteh BAWIPA e kalvantami minhmai rek ka hmu toe a ti.
Kwathi uGidiyoni esenanzelele ukuthi kwakuyingilosi kaThixo, wamemeza wathi, “Awu, Thixo Wobukhosi! Ngibone ingilosi kaThixo ubuso ngobuso!”
23 BAWIPA ni na lungpuen hanh. Yawhawinae awmseh. Nang teh na dout mahoeh.
Kodwa uThixo wathi kuye, “Ukuthula! Ungesabi. Kawuyikufa.”
24 Hote hmuen koe Gideon ni Bawipa hanlah thuengnae a sak teh, BAWIPA teh roumnae (Jehovah-shaloam) telah a phung. Abiezrit capa e hmuen koe Ophrah kho dawk sahnin ditouh ao.
Ngakho uGidiyoni wakhela uThixo i-alithari khonapho walibiza ngokuthi uThixo uyiKuthula. Kuze kube lamhla likhona e-Ofira lama-Abhiyezeri.
25 Hote hnin tangmin vah BAWIPA ni na poe e maito matawng hoi apâhni e kum sari touh e maitotan hah sin nateh, na pa ni a sak e Baal cathut thuengnae khoungroe hah raphoe nateh, khoungroe teng kaawm e Asherah thing hah tâtueng loe.
Ngalobobusuku uThixo wathi kuye, “Thatha inkunzi yesibili emhlambini kayihlo, eleminyaka eyisikhombisa ubudala. Udilize i-alithari likayihlo alakhela uBhali, ugamule lezinsika zika-Ashera eziphansi kwalo.
26 Kai ni ka dei e patetlah hete talung van vah, BAWIPA hanlah thuengnae khoungroe na sak hnukkhu, na tâtueng e thing hoi apâhni e maito hah hmaisawi thuengnae lah sak loe atipouh.
Emva kwalokho wakhele uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho umhlobo we-alithari oluyilo engqongeni yalinqaba. Unikele inkunzi yesibili njengomnikelo wokutshiswa usebenzisa inkuni zensika zika-Ashera ozigamuleyo.”
27 Gideon ni amae sannaw 10 touh a kaw teh, BAWIPA ni a dei e patetlah a sak, a na pa e imthungkhunaw thoseh, khocanaw thoseh a taki teh, kanîthun vah a sak ngam hoeh dawkvah tangmin vah a sak.
Ngakho uGidiyoni wathatha izinceku zakhe ezilitshumi wenza njengokutshelwa kwakhe nguThixo. Kodwa ngenxa yokuthi wayesesaba abemuli yakwabo labantu basedolobheni, wakwenza ebusuku kulokuba kube semini.
28 Amom khocanaw a thaw awh navah, Baal cathut e khoungroe peng a kâraphoe teh, ateng kaawm e Asherah thing hai a rawp teh, a hnukkhu sak e thuengnae khoungroe van vah, apâhni e maitotan thueng e hah a hmu awh.
Ekuseni kwathi abantu bedolobho lelo bevuka babona i-alithari likaBhali lidiliziwe, lezinsika zika-Ashera emaceleni alo ziganyulwe lenkunzi yesibili inikelwe phezu kwe-alithari elalisanda kwakhiwa!
29 Hat toteh, hete hno heh apimouh ka sak telah buet touh hoi buet touh akung a kâkhei awh navah, hete hno teh Joash capa Gideon ni a sak telah tami tangawn ni ati awh.
Babuzana besithi, “Ngubani owenze lokhu?” Kwathi sebebuzisise kakuhle babatshela ukuthi, “Kwenziwe nguGidiyoni indodana kaJowashi.”
30 Hattoteh khocanaw ni Joash koe, nange capa ni Baal cathutnaw e khoungroe peng a raphoe teh, ateng kaawm e Asherahkung hah a tâtueng dawkvah, ahni teh thei hanelah tâcawt sak hottelah atipouh awh.
Abantu bakulelodolobho bathonisa uJowashi bathi, “Ikhuphe indodana yakho. Kumele ife, ngoba idilize i-alithari likaBhali yagamula lezinsika zika-Ashera emaceleni alo.”
31 Hateiteh, Joash ni ahnimouh koe nangmouh teh Baal cathut koelah maw na kampang awh han, hotnaw na rungngang awh han, ahni koelah kampang e tami teh, khodai hoehnahlan dout lawiseh. Baal teh cathut katang pawiteh, ahnie thuengnae khoungroe a raphoe kecu dawk, ama ni a sak e teh amamouh ni khang na lawiseh, telah bout atipouh.
Kodwa uJowashi waphendula ixuku lelo elalifuthelene limhanqile wathi, “Lizakhulumela uBhali na? Lizama ukumhlenga na? Loba ngubani omlwelayo uzabulawa ekuseni! Nxa uBhali engunkulunkulu sibili, angazivikela nxa umuntu ediliza i-alithari lakhe.”
32 Hottelah Baal cathut e khoungroe ka raphoe e tami teh, amamouh ni a sak e patetlah ahni ni khang sak lawiseh, ati teh, amae capa hah hat hnin vah, Jerubbaal telah a min a phung.
Ngakho ngalelolanga uGidiyoni bambiza ngokuthi “Jerubhi-Bhali,” besithi, “UBhali kalwe laye,” ngoba wadiliza i-alithari likaBhali.
33 Hattoteh Midian tami, Amalek tami, Kanîtholae tami pueng a kamkhueng awh teh, Jezreel yawn tanghling dawk a roe awh.
Ngalesosikhathi wonke amaMidiyani, lama-Amaleki kanye labanye abantu basempumalanga bamanyana bachapha iJodani, bamisa eSigodini saseJezerili.
34 BAWIPA e Muitha teh Gideon koe a pha. Gideon ni mongka a ueng teh, Abiezer capanaw ni a hnuk a kâbang awh.
Umoya kaThixo wafika kuGidiyoni, wasetshaya icilongo emema ama-Abhiyezeri ukuba amlandele.
35 A patounenaw hah Manasseh ram pueng dawk a patoun teh, Manasseh miphun pueng ni a kâbang awh. Asher ram, Zebulun ram, Naphtali ram koe lahai a patounenaw bout a patoun teh, ahnimanaw hai kamkhuengnae koe a tho awh.
Wathuma izithunywa kulolonke elakoManase, ebatshela ukuba bahlome, lako-Asheri, koZebhuluni kanye lakoNafithali, ukuze labo bayebahlangabeza.
36 Gideon ni Cathut koe nang ni na dei e patetlah Isarel miphunnaw hah kaie kut dawk hoi na hlout sak katang han na pawiteh,
UGidiyoni wathi kuNkulunkulu, “Nxa uzasindisa u-Israyeli ngesandla sami njengoba uthembisile,
37 kai ni tu buet touh e muen hah thongma dawk ka ta han. Hote tumuen teh tadamtui cukruk bawm boilah, talai remphui pawiteh, na dei e patetlah Isarel miphunnaw kaie kut dawk hoi na rungngang han tie hah ka panue han.
khangela ngizabeka uboya bewulu esizeni. Kungaba lamazolo eboyeni bewulu kuphela iphansi lomile, ngizakwazi ukuthi uzamsindisa u-Israyeli ngesandla sami njengoba utshilo.”
38 Hatteh ka hei e patetlah ao. Amom a thaw teh, tumuen a kasu boteh tadamtui kawlung buet touh yikkawi.
Lokho yikho okwenzakalayo. Kusisa uGidiyoni wavuka ekuseni wakhama uboya wahluza amazolo, umganu wagcwala amanzi.
39 Gideon ni na lung khuek sak hanh ei, vai touh bout ka dei einei. Tu buet touh e muen hoi atu vai touh dueng na tanouk sak ei. Talai pueng tadamtui a duk vaiteh, tumuen remphui naseh, telah Cathut koe a hei e patetlah,
UGidiyoni wasesithi kuNkulunkulu, “Ungangithukutheleli. Ngivumela ngenze esinye isicelo esisodwa. Ngivumela ukuhlola kanye futhi ngoboya. Khathesi yomisa uboya kuthi iphansi ligcwale amazolo.”
40 hote karum hai Cathut ni a sak pouh teh, talai pueng a duk teh tumuen remphui lah ao.
Ngalobobusuku uNkulunkulu wenza njalo. Uboya kuphela yibo obabomile; iphansi lonke ligcwele amazolo.
