Judges 7
1 Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people who were with him, rose up early and encamped beside the spring of Harod. Midian’s camp was on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley.
Aa ie marain-tsikiake, nitroatse t’Ierob’baale, toe i Gidone, naho i valobohòke nindre ama’ey vaho nañialo añ’ ila’ ty vovo’ i Karode eo; ie amy zao ro tavara’ i tobe’ o nte-Midianeoy, añ’ ila’ ty haboa’ i Morè, am-bavatane ao.
2 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 brag against me, saying, ‘My own hand has saved me.’
Le hoe t’Iehovà amy Gidone, Loho maro amako ondaty mindre ama’oo, te hatoloko am-pità’ iareo o nte-Midianeo hera hiebotsebora’e ami’ty hoe: Ty tañako avao ty nandrombak’ ahy.
3 Now therefore proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, ‘Whoever is fearful and trembling, let him return and depart from Mount Gilead.’” So twenty-two thousand of the people returned, and ten thousand remained.
Ie amy zao, taroño an-dravembia’ ondatio ke t’ie mahimahiñe he mititititike: apoho himpoly, hañaleñaleñe boak’ am-bohi-Gilade ao. Aa le Ro’ ale-tsi-ro’ arivo am’ondatio ty nimpoly, vaho rai-ale ty nisisa.
4 The LORD said to Gideon, “There are still too many people. Bring them down to the water, and I will test them for you there. It shall be, that those whom I tell you, ‘This shall go with you,’ shall go with you; and whoever I tell you, ‘This shall not go with you,’ shall not go.”
Le hoe t’Iehovà amy Gidone, Mbe loho maro ondatio; ampizotsò mb’an-drano mb’eo, le ho tsoheko ho azo; ie amy zao, naho anoeko ama’o ty hoe, ie ty hindre ama’o, le ho mpiama’o, vaho ze anoeko ty hoe: Tsy hindre ama’o re, le tsy hionjoñe ka.
5 So he brought down the people to the water; and the LORD said to Gideon, “Everyone who laps of the water with his tongue, like a dog laps, you shall set him by himself; likewise everyone who bows down on his knees to drink.”
Aa le nampizotsoe’e mb’an-drano mb’eo ondatio, le hoe t’Iehovà amy Gidone, Ze misao-drano am-pameleke hoe filelan’ amboa ro hasita’o; manahake izay o mitongaleke naho mibokoke hitohofa’eo.
6 The number of those who lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was three hundred men; but all the rest of the people bowed down on their knees to drink water.
Aa le ty ia’ ondaty nisao-drano am-pitàñe naho ninoñe am-palieo ro telon-jato; o ila’eo fonga nitongaleke naho nibotreke te nitoho-drano.
7 The LORD said to Gideon, “I will save you by the three hundred men who lapped, and deliver the Midianites into your hand. Let all the other people go, each to his own place.”
Le hoe t’Iehovà amy Gidone, Ho rombaheko am’ondaty telon-jato nisaokeo, vaho hatoloko am-pità’o o nte-Midianeo; aa le avotsoro himpoly mb’ an-toe’e añe iaby ondaty ila’eo,
8 So the people took food in their hand, and their trumpets; and he sent all the rest of the men of Israel to their own tents, but retained the three hundred men; and the camp of Midian was beneath him in the valley.
fe rinambe’ iareo am-pitàñe ty fivati’ ondatio naho o tsifan’ añondri’ iareoo; le hene nampolie’e mb’an-kiboho’e añe o ana’ Israele ila’eo vaho tama’e i telon-jato rey; le am-bavatane ambane’e ey ty tobe’ o nte-Midianeo.
9 That same night, the LORD said to him, “Arise, go down into the camp, for I have delivered it into your hand.
Ie amy haleñey, nanao ty hoe ama’e t’Iehovà: Miongaha naho mizotsoa mb’ an-tobe mb’eo fa natoloko am-pità’o.
10 But if you are afraid to go down, go with Purah your servant down to the camp.
F’ie hembañe tsy te hizotso mb’eo, le endeso hindre ama’o mb’ an-tobe mb’eo t’i Porà mpitoro’o;
11 You will hear what they say; and afterward your hands will be strengthened to go down into the camp.” Then went he down with Purah his servant to the outermost part of the armed men who were in the camp.
le ho janjiñe’o o saontsie’eo, hampahafatrare’e o fità’oo, hizotsoa’o mb’ an-tobe mb’eo. Aa le nindre nizotso amy Porà mpitoro’e re mb’alàfe’ o mpitan-defo’ i tobeio.
12 The Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like locusts for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand which is on the seashore for multitude.
Nilafike hoe kijeja mifamorohotse am-bavatane ey o nte-Midianeo naho o nte-Amalekeo naho o anan-tatiñanañeo; vaho tsy nihay iaheñe o rameva’eo fa nitozantoza mira amo faseñe añ’ olon-driakeo.
13 When Gideon had come, behold, there was a man telling a dream to his fellow. He said, “Behold, I dreamed a dream; and behold, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian, came to the tent, and struck it so that it fell, and turned it upside down, so that the tent lay flat.”
Ie nivotrak’eo t’i Gidone, inay t’indaty nitalily nofy ami’ty rañe’e, nanao ty hoe: Nañinofy nofy iraho te nahatrea vonga-mofom-bare hordea nivarimbary mb’an-tobe’ o nte-Midianeo naho mb’amo kibohotseo mb’eo le nidasira’e kanao nihotrake naho nivarihohoke vaho niforetrake o kibohotseo.
14 His fellow answered, “This is nothing other than the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel. God has delivered Midian into his hand, with all the army.”
Hoe ty natoi’ i rañe’ey aze: Ts’inoñe izay naho tsy ty fibara’ i Gidone ana’ Ioase, ana’ Israele, amy te fonga natolon’ Añahare am-pità’e o nte-Midianeo rekets’ i valobohò’ey.
15 It was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream and its interpretation, that he worshiped. Then he returned into the camp of Israel and said, “Arise, for the LORD has delivered the army of Midian into your hand!”
Ie jinanji’ i Gidone ty talili’ i nofiy naho i fandrazañañey, le nitalaho; aa ie tafampoly an-tobe’ Israele ao, hoe ty asa’e: Miongaha, fa natolo’ Iehovà am-pità’ areo ty tobe’ o nte-Midianeo.
16 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.
Aa le zinara’e ampirimboñañe telo indaty telon-jato rey, le songa nampipoha’e tsifan’ añondry raik’ am-pità’ ondatio reketse sini-hara kòake, naho ty failo mirekake am-po’ o sini-harao ao.
17 He said to them, “Watch me, and do likewise. Behold, when I come to the outermost part of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so you shall do.
Le hoe re tam’ iereo: Henteo iraho, vaho tsikombeo; ie pok’ alafe’ i tobey iraho, le hanoe’ areo ze anoeko.
18 When I blow the trumpet, I and all who are with me, then blow the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and shout, ‘For the LORD and for Gideon!’”
Ie popoeko i tsifay, naho o mindre amako iabio, le tiofo ka amy ze lafe’ i tobe iabiy o tsifao, vaho ano ty hoe: Ty fibara’ Iehovà naho i Gidone!
19 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. Then they blew the trumpets and broke in pieces the pitchers that were in their hands.
Aa le nigadoñe ami’ ty efe’ i tobeio t’i Gidone naho i lahilahy mpiama’e zato rey, amy fifotoram-pijilovañe añivoy, aa vata’e nijadoñe o mpijiloo le pinopò’ iareo o tsifao vaho dinemo’ iareo o sini-hara am-pità’ iareoo.
20 The three companies blew the trumpets, broke the pitchers, and held the torches in their left hands and the trumpets in their right hands with which to blow; and they shouted, “The sword of the LORD and of Gideon!”
Fonga nampipopò’ antsiva i mpirai-lia telo rey; naho dinemo’ iareo o sini-harao, naho nizonjo failo am-pità’e havia, naho tsifa am-pità’e havana, nitioke, vaho nikoike ty hoe: Ty fibara’ Iehovà naho i Gidone.
21 They each stood in his place around the camp, and all the army ran; and they shouted, and put them to flight.
Songa nijohañe an-toe’e ey avao indaty rey nañarikatoke i tobey, le nitriban-day i valobohòkey; nikoikoike vaho nivoratsake.
22 They blew the three hundred trumpets, and the LORD set every man’s sword against his fellow and against all the army; and the army fled as far as Beth Shittah toward Zererah, as far as the border of Abel Meholah, by Tabbath.
Ie nipopò i tsifa telon-jato rey, le nampizonjoe’ Iehovà ze hene’ ondaty an-tobe ao, sindre mb’aman-drañe’e vaho nilay pake Betesità mb’e Tsererà mb’eo, sikal’ añ’efe’ i Abel-meholà, marine’ i Tabate añe i valobohòkey.
23 The men of Israel were gathered together out of Naphtali, out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued Midian.
Hene kinoike boake Naftalý naho boak’ Asere naho boake Menasè o ana’ Israeleo le nifanontoñe vaho nihoridañe’ iareo t’i Midiane.
24 Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill country of Ephraim, saying, “Come down against Midian and take the waters before them as far as Beth Barah, even the Jordan!” So all the men of Ephraim were gathered together and took the waters as far as Beth Barah, even the Jordan.
Nampanitsihe’ i Gidone ty am-bohibohi’ i Efraime ao ty hoe: Mizotsoa haname i Midiane le tsepaho aolo’ iareo o rano pake Bete-barào naho Iordaney ka. Aa le nifanontoñe iaby o nte-Efraimeo vaho nitana’ iareo o rano pake Bete-barào naho Iordaney.
25 They took the two princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb. They killed Oreb at Oreb’s rock, and Zeeb they killed at Zeeb’s wine press, as they pursued Midian. Then they brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon beyond the Jordan.
Le tsinepa’ iareo ty roandria roe’ i Midiane, t’i Orebe naho i Zeèbe; vinono’ iareo am-bato’i Orebe eo t’i Orebe, vaho vinono’ iereo am-pipiritan-divai’ i Zeebe eo t’i Zeebe, le ie nihoridà’ iareo t’i Midiane, nasese’ iareo mb’ amy Gidone alafe’ Iordaney mb’eo ty añambone’ i Orebe naho i Zeebe.
