Jongʼad Bura 7
1 Gokinyi mangʼich, Jerub-Baal (mano en Gideon) kod joge duto nojot e soko mar Harod. Kambi jo-Midian ne nitiere yo nyandwat margi e holo man but got More.
Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people who were with him, rose up early, and camped beside the spring of Harod. And the camp of Midian was on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley.
2 Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Gideon niya, “In-gi ji mangʼeny ma ok anyal chiwo jo-Midian e lwetgi. Mondo kik jo-Israel sungrena ni tekogi ema oresogi,
The LORD said to Gideon, "The people who are with you are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, 'My own hand has saved me.'
3 go milome ne ji ni, ‘Ngʼato angʼata ma luoro omako ogom kendo oa e Got Gilead.’” Omiyo ji alufu piero ariyo gariyo noa, to ji alufu apar nodongʼ.
Now therefore proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, 'Whoever is fearful and trembling, let him return and depart from Mount Gilead.' There returned of the people twenty-two thousand; but ten thousand remained.
4 To Jehova Nyasaye nodwoko Gideon niya, “Pod nitie ji mangʼeny ahinya. Kawgi itergi e pi, kendo abiro miyogi penj kuno. Ka awacho ni, ‘Ma biro dhi kodi,’ to obiro dhi; to ka awacho ni, ‘Ma ok bi dhi kodi,’ to ok obi dhi.”
The LORD said to Gideon, "The people are yet too many; bring them down to the water, and I will try them for you there: and it shall be, that of whom I tell you, This shall go with you, the same shall go with you; and of whoever I tell you, This shall not go with you, the same shall not go.
5 Omiyo Gideon noterogi e dho pi. Kanyo Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Pog jogo magado pi gi lewgi kaka guok kuom jogo magoyo chong-gi piny mondo omodhi.”
So he brought down the people to the water. And the LORD said to Gideon, "Everyone who laps of the water with his tongue, as a dog laps, you shall put to one side; and everyone who gets down on his knees to drink with hand to mouth shall be on the other side."
6 Ji mia adek nogado pi gi lwetgi. Jogo modongʼ nogoyo chonggi piny mondo gimodhi.
The number of those who lapped with their tongues was three hundred men, but all the rest of the people got down on their knees to drink water.
7 Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Gideon niya, “Kuom ji mia adek mane ogado pi gi lwetgi, anaresu kendo achiw jo-Midian e lwetu. We ji mamoko odhi, ka moro ka moro dok dalane.”
The LORD said to Gideon, "By the three hundred men who lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into your hand; and let all the people go every man to his home."
8 Omiyo Gideon nooro jo-Israel mamoko e hembegi, to ji mia adek mane odongʼ-go nokawo chiemo kod turumbete mag joma nodok e miechgi. Kambi jo-Midian ne ni e holo gi mwalo.
So the people took food in their hand, and their trumpets; and he sent all the men of Israel every man to his tent, but retained the three hundred men. And the camp of Midian was beneath him in the valley.
9 Otienono Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Gideon niya, “Aa malo, dhiyo imonj kambi, nikech adhi chiwe e lweti.
It happened the same night, that the LORD said to him, "Arise, get down into the camp; for I have delivered it into your hand.
10 Kiluor mar monjogi, to dhi e kambi gi jatichni Pura
But if you fear to go down, go with Purah your servant down to the camp:
11 kendo ichik iti iwinj gima giwacho. Bangʼe, inibed gi mijingʼo mar monjo kambino.” Omiyo en kod Pura jatichne negidhi machiegni gi kambi.
and you shall hear what they say; and afterward will your hands be strengthened to go down into the camp." Then he went down with Purah his servant to the outermost part of the armed men who were in the camp.
12 Jo-Midian, jo-Amalek kod jogo moa yo wuok chiengʼ nojot e holo mane oyugno ka kama bonyo ochokore. Ne gin gi ngamia mangʼeny mane ok nyal kwan mana ka kwoyo manie dho nam.
And Midian, Amalek, and all the Kedemites lay along in the valley as numerous as locusts; and their camels were without number, as numerous as the sand which is on the seashore.
13 Gideon nochopo mana ka ngʼat moro ne nyiso osiepene lek. Ngʼatno ne wachone osiepene niya, “Ne aleko ni makati molos gi mogo mar shairi molworore nobiro e kambi jo-Midian. Nogoyo hema gi teko ma hema olokore kendo olwar piny.”
When Gideon had come, look, there was a man telling a dream to his friend; and he said, "Look, I had a dream, and look, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian, and came to the tent, and struck it so that it fell, and turned it upside down, so that the tent collapsed."
14 Osiepne nodwoko niya, “Ma ok en wach moro machielo makmana ligangla mar Gideon wuod Joash, ma ja-Israel. Nyasaye osechiwo jo-Midian kod kambi duto e lwete.”
His friend answered, "This is nothing less than the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel. Into his hand God has delivered Midian, and all the army."
15 Ka Gideon nowinjo lekno kod kaka oloke, nopako Nyasaye. Nodok e kambi jo-Israel kendo owacho niya, “Chungʼuru malo! Jehova Nyasaye osechiwo jo-Midian e lwetu.”
It was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and its interpretation, that he worshiped, and he returned into the camp of Israel, and said, "Get up, for the LORD has delivered into your hand the army of Midian."
16 Nopogo ji mia adekgo e migepe adek, komiyogi duto turumbete kod njagi maonge gimoro e iye e lwetgi, ka nitiere toch ei njagigo.
He divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put into the hands of all of them trumpets, and empty pitchers, with torches within the pitchers.
17 Nowachonegi niya, Luwauru ka ungʼiyo kendo ka achopo but hema, to timuru mana kaka atimo.
He said to them, "Look at me, and do likewise. And look, when I come to the outermost part of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so you shall do.
18 Ka agoyo turumbete kaachiel jogo duto ma an-go, eka un joma uselworo kambi bende ugo turumbete ka ukok niya, “Wakedo ni Jehova Nyasaye kod Gideon.”
When I blow the trumpet, I and all who are with me, then you blow the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, "For the LORD and for Gideon."
19 Gideon kod ji mia achiel mane ni kode nochopo e bath kambi chuny otieno, mana bangʼ kane gisewilo jorito. Negigoyo turumbetegi kendo gitoyo agulni mane ni e lwetegi.
So Gideon and the hundred men who were with him came to the outermost part of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch, when they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and broke in pieces the pitchers that were in their hands.
20 Kambi adekgi nogoyo turumbete kendo gitoyo njagi. Ka gimako toje gi lwetgi koracham kendo ka gitingʼo turumbete mane onego gi goo gi lwetgi korachwich, ne gikok niya, “Ligangla en mar Jehova Nyasaye kod Gideon!”
The three companies blew the trumpets, and broke the pitchers, and held the torches in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands with which to blow; and they called out, "The sword of the LORD and of Gideon.'"
21 E sa ma ngʼato ka ngʼato nokawo kare ka gilworo kambi, jo-Midian duto noringo, kendo negiringo ka giywak.
They each stood in his place every man around the camp; and all the army ran; and they shouted, and put them to flight.
22 E sa ma turumbete mia adekgo nogoo, Jehova Nyasaye noketo ji duto mane ni e kambi ochako kedo e kindgi giwegi ka ginegore gi ligangla. Jolweny noringo odhi Beth Shitta kochiko Zerera mochopo nyaka e tongʼ mar Abel Mehola man but Tabath.
They blew the three hundred trumpets, and the LORD set every man's sword against each other throughout the camp; and the army fled as far as Beth Shittah toward Zererah, as far as the border of Abel Meholah, by Tabbath.
23 Noluong jo-Israel moa Naftali, Asher kod Manase, kendo negilawo jo-Midian.
The men of Israel were gathered together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after Midian.
24 Gideon nooro joote e piny gode mag Efraim duto, kowacho, “Biuru uked kod jo-Midian kendo udhi nyimgi ma umak pige mag Jordan mochopo nyaka Beth Bara.” Omiyo jo-Efraim duto nowuok oko kendo negikawo pige mag Jordan mochopo Beth Bara.
Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill country of Ephraim, saying, "Come down against Midian, and capture the waters, as far as Beth Barah, even the Jordan." So all the men of Ephraim were gathered together, and seized the waters as far as Beth Barah, even the Jordan.
25 Negimako bende jotelo ariyo mag jo-Midian, Oreb kod Zeb. Neginego Oreb e lwanda mar Oreb, kod Zeb e kar biyo divai mar Zeb. Negilawo jo-Midian kendo gikelo wiye Oreb kod Zeb ni Gideon, kama ne entie but aora Jordan.
They took the two princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb; and they killed Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and Zeeb they killed at the winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian. Then they brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon beyond the Jordan.
