< Jongʼad Bura 8 >
1 Jo-Efraim nopenjo Gideon niya, “Angʼo ma omiyo isetimonwa kama? Angʼo ma notami luongowa kane idhi kedo gi jo-Midian?” Omiyo negidhawo kode matek.
Afei, Efraimfo no bisaa Gideon se, “Adɛn nti na woyɛ yɛn saa? Adɛn nti na worekɔko atia Midian kan no, woamfrɛ yɛn?” Na wɔne Gideon kasaa anibere so.
2 To nodwokogi niya, “Angʼo ma asetimo kipimo gi gima usetimo? Donge mzabibu mag Efraim modongʼ ber moloyo keyo maduongʼ mar mzabibu mar Abiezer?
Na Gideon buaa wɔn se, “Dɛn na mayɛ a mede bɛtoto mo ho? Na Efraim bobe aba a ɛka wɔ twabere akyi no nye nsen Abieser bobe a wɔtewee nyinaa?
3 Nyasaye nochiwo Oreb kod Zeb, jotend jo-Midian, e lwetgi. En angʼo mane anyalo timo kipimo gi gima usetimo?” Kuom mano, ich wangʼ margi norumo.
Onyankopɔn maa mudii Oreb ne Seeb a na wɔyɛ Midian asahene no so. Dɛn na matumi ayɛ a ɛsɛ eyi?” Efraim mmarima no tee Gideon mmuae no, wɔn bo tɔɔ wɔn yam.
4 Kata obedo ni Gideon gi joge mia adek nool kamano, negimedo lawo ruodhi mag Midian mi gingʼado aora Jordan.
Gideon ne ne mmarima ahaasa no twaa Asubɔnten Yordan, ɛwɔ mu sɛ na wɔabrɛ de, nanso wɔtoaa so taa atamfo no.
5 Nowachone jo-Sukoth niya, “Miuru joga ma jolweny makati nikech giol, kendo pod alawo Zeba kod Zalmuna, ma gin ruodhi jo-Midian.”
Woduu Sukot no, Gideon ka kyerɛɛ ntuanofo a wɔwɔ hɔ no se, “Momma mʼakofo no aduan nni na wɔabrɛ. Meretaa Midian ahemfo Seba ne Salmuna.”
6 To jotelo mag Sukoth nowacho niya, “Bende usemako Zeba kod Zalmuna? Ere kaka dwami jolweny magi moolgi makati?”
Na Sukot ntuanofo no buae se, “Kyere Seba ne Salmuna ansa na yɛama wʼakofo no aduan adi.”
7 Eka Gideon nodwoko niya, “Nikech gima uwacho, ka Jehova Nyasaye osechiwo Zeba gi Zalmuna e lweta, to abiro yuyo ringreu gi pedo kod matata.”
Gideon buae se, “Sɛ Awurade ma midi Seba ne Salmuna so nkonim a, mɛsan aba de sare so nsɔe ne akraate abesunsuan mo honam ani.”
8 Noa kanyo kodhi Peniel kendo ochiwonegi kwayo makamano, to negidwoko mana kaka jo-Sukoth nowacho.
Na Gideon fii hɔ kɔɔ Penuel kɔsrɛɛ aduan bio, na onyaa mmuae koro no ara.
9 Omiyo nowachone jo-Peniel niya, “Ka aduogo gi loch, to abiro muko bath ohinga moger motingʼore gi malo.”
Na ɔka kyerɛɛ Penuelfo no se, “Sɛ mifi nkonimdi mu ba a, mebubu saa abantenten yi.”
10 Noyudo ka Zeba gi Zalmuna neni Karkor kaachiel gi jolweny mage manyalo romo ji alufu apar gabich, ne gin jolweny mane odongʼ kuom jolweny mag wuok chiengʼ, to jolweny alufu mia achiel gi piero ariyo nonegi e lweny.
Saa bere yi na Seba ne Salmuna ne akofo mpem dunum wɔ Karkor, aboafo a wofi apuei fam a na emu mpem ɔha aduonu atotɔ dedaw no nkaefo.
11 Gideon nodhi koluwo yo jokwath mantiere yo wuok chiengʼ mar Noba kod Jogbeha mi nodonjo kuom jolweny mamoko apoya.
Gideon faa atutenafo kwan a ɛda Noba ne Yogbeha apuei fam no ho hyiae, na wɔtow hyɛɛ Midian nsraadɔm a na wɔn ani nna wɔn ho so no so.
12 Zeba gi Zalmuna, ma ruodhi ariyo mag Midian, noringo, to nolawogi mi omakogi, kendo makogino nokelo luoro maduongʼ ne jolwenjgi.
Midian ahemfo baanu a wɔn din de Seba ne Salmuna no guanee, nanso Gideon taa wɔn faa wɔn akofo nyinaa nnommum.
13 Bangʼ mano Gideon wuod Joash noduogo koa e lweny koluwo yor Heres.
Eyi akyi no, Yoas ba Gideon faa Heres tempɔn so sanee.
14 Nomako wuod Sukoth mi openje penjo, kendo wuowino nondikone nying ruodhi piero abiro gabiriyo mag Sukoth.
Ɛhɔ na ɔkyeree aberante bi a ofi Sukot. Ɔhyɛɛ no sɛ ɔnkyerɛw nnipa aduɔson ason a wɔyɛ sodifo ne ntuanofo a wɔwɔ kurow no mu no din mma no.
15 Eka Gideon nobiro mi owachone jo-Sukoth niya, “Eri Zeba gi Zalmuna, mane osemiyo uchaya kuwacho ni, ‘Bende usemako Zeba gi Zalmuna? Ere kaka dwami jolweny magi moolgi makati?’”
Afei, Gideon san kɔɔ Sukot kɔka kyerɛɛ ɛhɔ ntuanofo no se, “Seba ne Salmuna ni. Yɛbaa ha no mudii me ho fɛw, kae se, ‘Kyere Seba ne Salmuna ansa na yɛama wʼakofo a wɔabrɛ no aduan adi.’”
16 Nokawo jodong dalano mi okawo pedo kod matata mokumogo jo-Sukoth.
Afei Gideon faa kurow no mu ntuanofo kyerɛɛ wɔn nyansa. Ɔde sare so nsɔe ne akraate twee wɔn aso.
17 Bende nomuko kama oger motingʼore gi malo mar Peniel mi onego jo-dalano.
Ɔsan dwiriw Penuel abantenten no guu fam, kunkum kurow no mu mmarima nyinaa.
18 Eka nopenjo Zeba kod Zalmuna niya, “Ne inego ji machalo nade Tabor?” Negidwoke niya, “Ji machalo kodi, ma ngʼato ka ngʼato ne nigi kido machalo mar ruoth.”
Afei, obisaa Seba ne Salmuna se, “Mmarima a mukum wɔn wɔ Tabor no na wɔte dɛn?” Wobuae se, “Mmarima no te sɛ wo. Na wɔn mu biara te sɛ ɔheneba.”
19 Gideon nodwoko niya, “Mago ne owetena, yawuot minwa owuon. Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima ni ka dine ingʼwononegi, to dine ok anegou.”
Gideon ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Na wɔyɛ me nuanom. Sɛ Awurade te ase yi, sɛ moankum wɔn a, anka me nso merenkum mo.”
20 Eka nonyiso wuode maduongʼ miluongo ni Jetha niya, “Neg-gi!” To Jetha ne ok owuodho liganglane, nikech ne pod en rawera kendo noluor.
Ɔdan nʼani kyerɛɛ ne babarima panyin Yeter se, “Kum wɔn.” Nanso Yeter antwe nʼafoa, efisɛ na ɔyɛ abarimaa nti na osuro.
21 Zeba gi Zalmuna nowacho niya, “Bi inegwa mana in iwuon nimar in e ngʼat maduongʼ maratego.” Omiyo Gideon nosudo machiegni kodgi monegogi, bangʼe nokawo pien mane ni e ngʼut ngamia mag-gi.
Seba ne Salmuna ka kyerɛɛ Gideon se, “Mma abarimaa nyɛ ɔpanyin adwuma! Wʼankasa yɛ!” Enti Gideon kum wɔn baanu, faa adehye agude a ɛsensɛn wɔn yoma kɔn mu no.
22 Jo-Israel nowachone Gideon niya, “Bed jatendwa, in kaachiel gi wuodi kod nyakwari ma wuowi, nikech iseresowa e lwet jo-Midian.”
Na Israelfo no ka kyerɛɛ Gideon se, “Di yɛn so hene. Wo ne wo babarima ne wo nena bɛyɛ yɛn ahemfo, efisɛ woagye yɛn afi Midianfo nsam.”
23 To Gideon nokonegi niya, “Ok anabed jatendu, kata wuoda bende ok nobed jatendu. Jehova Nyasaye ema biro bedo jatendu.”
Nanso Gideon buae se, “Merenni mo so hene na me babarima nso renni mo so hene. Awurade na obedi mo so.”
24 Kendo nowacho niya, “An-gi kwayo achiel, ni ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomu omiya stadi kuom pok mag gik mane uyako.” Ne en kit jo-Ishmael mondo gilier stadi mar dhahabu e itgi.
Mmom Gideon ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, mewɔ abisade baako. “Mo mu biara mma me asokaa baako a mofa fii asade a munya fii mo atamfo a mudii wɔn so no nkyɛn.” (Atamfo a na wɔyɛ Ismaelfo no na obiara hyɛ sikakɔkɔɔ asokaa).
25 Negidwoko niya, “En morwa mondo wachiwgi.” Omiyo ne gipedho nanga, kendo ngʼato ka ngʼato nodiro stadi koa kuom gik mane giyako e nangano.
Wobuaa se, “Yɛpene so dodo.” Wɔde nkataho sɛw fam. Na obiara de ne sikakɔkɔɔ asokaa a onyae beguu so.
26 Pek mar stadi mag dhahabu mane okwayo ne oromo shekel alufu achiel gi mia abiriyo, ka ok okwano bangli, odeyo kod nengni maralik mirwako gi ruodhi mag Midian kata nyoroche mane ni e ngʼut ngamia margi.
Na sikakɔkɔɔ asokaa dodow a wonyae no karii kilogram aduonu ne akyi pɔw anan a nyanne nketewa ne kɔnmuade, Midian ahemfo adehye ahyehyɛde ne nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn a egu wɔn yoma kɔn mu nka ho.
27 Gideon noloso kido mar nyasaye manono mar efod gi dhahabu, ma noketo e dalane miluongo ni Ofra. Jo-Israel duto notimo timbe mag dwanyruok e kindgi giwegi ka gilamo kidono kanyo kendo nobedo obadho ni Gideon kod dalane.
Gideon de yɛɛ asɔfotade kronkron na ɔde sii kurow Ofra, ne kurow mu. Nanso ankyɛ na Israelfo no kɔsom no de guu wɔn ho fi na ɛdan afiri maa Gideon ne ne fifo.
28 Kamano e kaka jo-Midian noloo gi jo-Israel kendo ne ok gichako gitugo lweny moro kendo. E kinde ma Gideon ne pod ngima, pinyno nobedo gi kwe kuom higni piero angʼwen.
Eyi ne abasɛm a ɛkyerɛ sɛnea Israelfo dii Midianfo so nkonim a wɔantumi ansɔre bio. Gideon nna a etwa to bɛyɛ mfe aduanan mu no, na asomdwoe wɔ asase no so.
29 Jerub-Baal wuod Joash nodok dala.
Afei, Yoas babarima Yerub-Baal san kɔɔ ne kurom.
30 Ne en-gi yawuowi piero abiriyo ma mage owuon, nimar ne en-gi mon mangʼeny.
Na ɔwɔ yerenom bebree nti ɔwoo mmabarima aduɔson.
31 Bende ne en gi jatich madhako mane odak Shekem, mane onywolone wuowi miluongo ni Abimelek.
Na ɔwɔ mpena nso wɔ Sekem a ɔne no woo ɔbabarima, too ne din Abimelek.
32 Gideon wuod Joash notho ka en-gi higni mathoth kendo noyike e liend wuon mare Joash man Ofra dala jo-Abiezer.
Gideon wui no na wanyin yiye. Na wosiee no wɔ nʼagya Yoas da mu wɔ Ofra wɔ Abieserfo abusuasase so.
33 Bangʼ ka Gideon nosetho jo-Israel nochako timo timbe dwanyruok kalamo Baal. Negiketo Baal-Berith kaka nyasachgi,
Gideon wui ara pɛ, Israelfo no kɔsom Baal ahoni, de bɔɔ wɔn ho ahohwi. Wɔnam so yɛɛ Baal-Berit wɔn nyame.
34 kendo ne ok giparo Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachgi, mane oseresogi e lwet jowasikgi duto koni gi koni.
Wɔn werɛ fii Awurade, wɔn Nyankopɔn a ogyee wɔn fii wɔn atamfo a wɔatwa wɔn ho ahyia no nsam no.
35 Bende negitamore timo ngʼwono ni joka Jerub-Baal (mano en Gideon) kuom gigo mabeyo duto mane osetimonigi.
Na mpo, wɔanni nokware ankyerɛ Yerub-Baal (a ɔne Gideon) fifo wɔ nneɛma pa a ɔyɛ maa Israelfo no ho.
