< Judges 6 >
1 Again the Israelites did evil in the sight of the LORD; so He delivered them into the hand of Midian for seven years,
Isala: ili dunu ilia da Hina Godema bu wadela: le hamoi. Amaiba: le, E da Midia: ne dunu ilia Isala: ili dunu ode fesuale amoga wadela: lesima: ne logo doasi dagoi.
2 and the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel. Because of the Midianites, the Israelites prepared shelters for themselves in the mountains, caves, and strongholds.
Midia: ne fi dunu ilia gasa da Isala: ili fi ilia gasa baligi. Amaiba: le, Isala: ili fi dunu da magufu gelabo amola eno wamoaligisu sogebi agolo ganodini amoga wamoaligisu.
3 Whenever the Israelites would plant their crops, the Midianites, Amalekites, and other people of the east would come up and invade them,
Eso huluane, Isala: ili fi dunu da hawa: sagaloba, Midia: ne fi dunu, A:malege fi dunu amola eno hafoga: i sogega fi dunu da gilisili ilima doagala: le gegesu.
4 encamping against them as far as Gaza and destroying the produce of the land. They left Israel with no sustenance, neither sheep nor oxen nor donkeys.
Ilia da hou agoane hamosu. Ilia da Isala: ili soge amoga fisisu. Amalalu, ilia da Isala: ili dunu ilia sagai amo fana asili, gugaga asili, Ga: isa moilaiga doaga: su. Ilia da Isala: ili dunu ilia sibi, bulamagau amola dougi wamolalusu. Amaiba: le, Isala: ili dunu da liligi hamedene esalusu.
5 For the Midianites came with their livestock and their tents like a great swarm of locusts. They and their camels were innumerable, and they entered the land to ravage it.
Midia: ne dunu bagohame ilia idi da danuba: wa: i defele ba: i, ilia da Isala: ili soge amoga ilia ohe fi oule misini, ilia abula diasu gagusu. Ilia amola ilia ga: mele da idimu hamedeiwane ba: i. Ilia da misini, soge huluane wadela: lesisu.
6 Israel was greatly impoverished by Midian, and the Israelites cried out to the LORD.
Isala: ili dunu da gasa hameba: le, ilia logo hedofamusa: gasa bagade ba: i.
7 Now when the Israelites cried out to the LORD because of Midian,
Amalalu, Isala: ili dunu da se nababeba: le, Hina Godema wele sia: i. Ilia da Gode Ea fidima: ne, Midia: ne dunu ilia logo hedofama: ne wele sia: i.
8 He sent them a prophet, who told them, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: I brought you up out of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
Hina Gode da ilima balofede dunu asunasi. Balofede dunu e da ilima amane sia: i, “Isala: ili fi dunu ilia Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, ‘Dilia da hemonega Idibidi soge ganodini udigili lobo lala: gi agoai hawa: hamonanu. Be Na da dili fisili masa: ne gadili oule asi.
9 I delivered you out of the hands of Egypt and all your oppressors. I drove them out before you and gave you their land.
Idibidi dunu da dili mae wadela: ma: ne, Na da dili gaga: i. Amola Ga: ina: ne sogega fi dunu da dili mae wadela: ma: ne, Na da dili gaga: i. Dilia da gusuba: i heda: loba, Na da amo dunu sefasisu. Amola Na da ilia soge amo dilima i dagoi.
10 And I said to you: ‘I am the LORD your God. You must not fear the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell.’ But you did not obey Me.”
Na da dilia Hina Godedafa, amo Na da dilima olelei. Amola dilia da A: moulaide dunu, (dilia wali ilia soge ganodini esala) amo ilia ogogosu ‘gode’ liligi ilima mae sia: ne gadoma: ne, Na da sia: i dagoi. Be dilia da Na sia: hame nabi.’”
11 Then the angel of the LORD came and sat down under the oak in Ophrah that belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, where his son Gideon was threshing wheat in a winepress to hide it from the Midianites.
Amalalu, Hina Gode Ea a: igele dunu da Ofala moilai bai bagadega misini, “ouge” ifa amo ea ougiha esalu. Amo ifa da Youa: se (A: ibisa fi dunu) amo ea ifa falifai galu. Youa: se egefe Gidione da Midia: ne dunu ilia ba: sa: besa: le, wamowane widi ha: i manu gisi amo afafama: ne, waini hano hamosu diasu amo ganodini widi gisi dabalebe ba: i.
12 And the angel of the LORD appeared to Gideon and said, “The LORD is with you, O mighty man of valor.”
Hina Gode Ea a: igele dunu da ema misini, amane sia: i, “Gasa bagade nimi dunu! Hina Gode da ali esala.”
13 “Please, my Lord,” Gideon replied, “if the LORD is with us, why has all this happened to us? And where are all His wonders of which our fathers told us, saying, ‘Has not the LORD brought us up out of Egypt?’ But now the LORD has forsaken us and delivered us into the hand of Midian.”
Gidione da bu adole i, “Na da dima adole ba: mu gala. Hina Gode da nini esala, di da sia: sa. Amaiba: le amo se nabasu da abuliba: le ninima doaga: bela: ? Ninia ada ilia da Hina Gode Ea gasa bagade hou amo ninima olelei. E da Idibidi sogega nini fisili masa: ne gadili asunasi. Be wali Hina Gode da Midia: ne dunu nini wadela: lesima: ne, fisi dagoi.”
14 The LORD turned to him and said, “Go in the strength you have and save Israel from the hand of Midian. Am I not sending you?”
Amalalu, Hina Gode da Gidione ea hamoma: ne, ema amane olelei, “Dina: gasaga masa! Midia: ne dunu ilia Isala: ili fi mae wadela: ma: ne, di gaga: ma! Na Nisu fawane, da di asunasisa.”
15 “Please, my Lord,” Gideon replied, “how can I save Israel? Indeed, my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the youngest in my father’s house.”
Gidione da bu adole i, “Na da habodane Isala: ili fi gaga: ma: bela: ? Na sosogo fi da Mana: se fi amo ganodini gogaya: i gala. Amola na da na sosogo fi amo ganodini bodogidafa.”
16 “Surely I will be with you,” the LORD replied, “and you will strike down all the Midianites as one man.”
Hina Gode da ema bu adole i, “Na da di fidimuba: le, di da amo hamomusa: dawa: mu. Di da Midia: ne dunu huluane hasalili dagomu.”
17 Gideon answered, “If I have found favor in Your sight, give me a sign that it is You speaking with me.
Gidione ea bu adole i, “Di da nama nodosa galea, na da Di dafawane Hina Gode esala, amo dawa: ma: ne, dawa: digisu hou amo nama olelema.
18 Please do not depart from this place until I return to You. Let me bring my offering and set it before You.” And the LORD said, “I will stay until you return.”
Dafawane! Di da na mae yolesili ouleloma. Na da Dima gobele salasu ha: i manu gaguli misunu,” Gidione amane sia: i. Hina Gode Ea amane sia: i, “Na da di ouesalea, amogainini di bu misunu.”
19 So Gideon went in and prepared a young goat and unleavened bread and an ephah of flour. He placed the meat in a basket and the broth in a pot and brought them out to present to Him under the oak.
Amaiba: le, Gidione da hi diasua golili sa: ili, goudi mano sefena afae fane, falaua ea dioi defei da10gilougala: me amo lale, yisidi mae legele, agi ga: gi hamoi. E da goudi hu dabaga salawane, gugu gasa: le, ofodo ganodini salawane, gaguli, Hina Gode a: igele dunu “ouge” ifa baiya lelebe amogili iasi.
20 And the angel of God said to him, “Take the meat and the unleavened bread, lay them on this rock, and pour out the broth.” And Gideon did so.
A: igele dunu da Gidionema amane sia: i, “Hu amola agi ga: gi lale, igi goe da: iya ligisili, amo da: iya gugu soga: sima.” Gidione da amo defele hamoi dagoi.
21 Then the angel of the LORD extended the tip of the staff that was in his hand and touched the meat and the unleavened bread. And fire flared from the rock and consumed the meat and the unleavened bread. Then the angel of the LORD vanished from his sight.
Amalalu, Hina Gode Ea a: igele dunu da ea lobo ligiagale, galiamo ea lobo ganodini gagui, amo ea bidiga, e da hu amola agi ga: gi digilisi. Amalalu, lalu da igi da: iya wiligadole, hu amola agi ga: gi nene dagoi. Amalalu, a:igele dunu da asi, hame ba: i.
22 When Gideon realized that it was the angel of the LORD, he said, “Oh no, Lord GOD! I have seen the angel of the LORD face to face!”
Amaiba: le, Gidione hamugini ba: loba, amo da Hina Gode ea a: igele dunu dawa: i galu. Amola e da bagadewane fofogadigili, beda: ne amane sia: i, “Hina Gode Bagadedafa! Na da Dia a: igele dunu ea odagi amola na odagi migadenei ba: i.”
23 But the LORD said to him, “Peace be with you. Do not be afraid, for you will not die.”
Hina Gode da ema amane sia: i, “Asaboma! Mae beda: ma! Di da hame bogomu.”
24 So Gideon built an altar to the LORD there and called it The LORD Is Peace. To this day it stands in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
Gidione da Godema gobele salasu fafai (oloda) amogawi gagui. Amoga, e da amo dio asuli, “Hina Gode da Olofosudafa.” Amo fafai da wali Ofala moilai bai bagadega sagasi dana. (Ofala da A: ibisa fi dunu ilia moilai eno galu).
25 On that very night the LORD said to Gideon, “Take your father’s young bull and a second bull seven years old, tear down your father’s altar to Baal, and cut down the Asherah pole beside it.
Amo gasia, Hina Gode da Gidionema amane sia: i, “Dia ada ea bulamagau gawali amola eno bulamagau gawali ode fesuale gala lela, amo lama. Dia ada ea gobele salasu fafai Ba: ilema sia: ne gadomusa: gagui, amo mugululi salima. Amola ogogosu ‘gode’ ifaga hahamoi uda Asila, amola Ba: ile, ela dafulili lelebe go abasalima.
26 Then build a proper altar to the LORD your God on the top of this stronghold. And with the wood of the Asherah pole you cut down, take the second bull and offer it as a burnt offering.”
Dia Hina Godema gobele salasu fafai noga: idafa, goe bi da: iya gaguma. Amalu bulamagau gawali ageyadu e lale, ea da: i hodo huluane gobele salima. Amo gobele salimusa: di Asila ifa abasali lalu amoga lale didili gobele salima.”
27 So Gideon took ten of his servants and did as the LORD had told him. But because he was too afraid of his father’s household and the men of the city, he did it by night rather than in the daytime.
Amaiba: le, Gidione ea hawa: hamosu dunu mogili, nabuane agoane lale, amola e da Hina Gode Ea ema adoi amo hamoi. E da ea sosogo fi amola ea moilai fi ilima beda: iba: le, yoga hamomu hamedei ba: i. Amaiba: le, e da gasia fawane hamoi.
28 When the men of the city got up in the morning, there was Baal’s altar torn down, with the Asherah pole cut down beside it and the second bull offered up on the newly built altar.
Moilai fi dunu da hahabedafa wa: legadole, ilia da gobele salasu fafai Ba: ilema sia: ne gadomusa: gagui, amola Asila ea ifa abasali dagoi ba: i. Amola bulamagau ageyadu amo da gobele salasu fafai (Gidione ea gagui liligi) amo da: iya gobele sali dagoi, ilia ba: i.
29 “Who did this?” they said to one another. And after they had investigated thoroughly, they were told, “Gideon son of Joash did it.”
Amalalu, ilia amane sia: i, “Nowa dunu da amo hou hamobela: ? Ilia amane lalabilaloba, Youa: se ea mano Gidione ea hamoi, ilia ba: i.
30 Then the men of the city said to Joash, “Bring out your son. He must die, because he has torn down Baal’s altar and cut down the Asherah pole beside it.”
Amalalu, ilia da Youa: sema amane sia: i, “Diagofe ninia fane legemusa: guiguda: oule misa. E da Ba: ile gobele salasu fafai amo mugululi sali amola Asila hou dawa: ma: ne liligi amoga dafulili dialu amo abasali.”
31 But Joash said to all who stood against him, “Are you contending for Baal? Are you trying to save him? Whoever pleads his case will be put to death by morning! If Baal is a god, let him contend for himself with the one who has torn down his altar.”
Be Youa: se da dunu huluane ilia da ema fofada: nanu, ilima amane sia: i, “Dilia da Ba: ile amoma gasala: ? Dilia amola e gaga: sala: ? Nowa da ema gale lela, amo da hahabe fane legei dagoi ba: mu. Ba: ile da Godedafa galea, defea, e da hisu hina: gaga: mu. Amo gobele salasu fafai mugululi sali da ea: liligi fawane, dilia: hame.”
32 So on that day Gideon was called Jerubbaal, that is to say, “Let Baal contend with him,” because he had torn down Baal’s altar.
Amalalu, amohaga amola fa: no ilia da Gidione ea dio da Yeluba: ile, ilia da amane sia: dasu. Bai Youa: se da amane sia: i, “Ba: ile ea da hisu hina: gaga: mu da defea. Gobele salasu fafai mugululi sali da ea: liligi fawane.”
33 Then all the Midianites, Amalekites, and other people of the east gathered together, crossed over the Jordan, and camped in the Valley of Jezreel.
Amalalu, Midia: naide fi dunu, A:malege fi dunu amola hafoga: i sogega fi dunu huluane gilisili mogodigili asili, Yodane hano amo degele, Yeseliele fago amogai hawa: i fisu.
34 So the Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon, who blew the ram’s horn and rallied the Abiezrites behind him.
Hina Gode Ea A: silibu da Gidione amoma noga: le seselalu, A:ibisa sosogo fi dunu ilia ema fa: no bobogema: ne, Gidione da dalabede fulaboi.
35 Calling them to arms, Gideon sent messengers throughout Manasseh, as well as Asher, Zebulun, and Naphtali, so that they came up to meet him.
E da sia: adola ahoasu dunu ilia Mana: se fi dunu da ema fa: no bobogema: ne, adole lama: ne asunasi. E da sia: adola ahoasu dunu A: sie, Sebiulane amola Na: fadalai amo fi dunu ilima adoma: ne asunasi. Amalu, ilia misini, ema madelai.
36 Then Gideon said to God, “If You are going to save Israel by my hand, as You have said,
Amalalu, Gidione da Godema amane sia: i, “Dia da amane sia: ba: , Isala: ili fi gaga: ma: ne, Dia da nama fidisu imunu sia: i.
37 then behold, I will place a fleece of wool on the threshing floor. If there is dew only on the fleece and all the ground is dry, then I will know that You are going to save Israel by my hand, as You have said.”
Defea! Na da sibi hinabo houga: i amo houga: i widi dabasu osobo da: iya amogai ligisimu. Be hahabe sibi hinabo houga: i da: iya oubi baeaga nanegai galea, be osobo da: iya da oubi baea hame ba: lalu, Isala: ili dunu fi amo na gaga: ma: ne, Dia da dafawane fidimusa: ilegei, amo na da dawa: mu.”
38 And that is what happened. When Gideon arose the next morning, he squeezed the fleece and wrung out the dew—a bowlful of water.
Goe da didili agoane hamoi ba: i. Golale hahabedafa Gidione da wa: legadole, e da ofodo lale ligisili, sibi hinabo houga: i amo lale, oubi baea sibi hinaboga nanegai dialu amo ofodo gelaba ganodini dugini sali. Ofodo da amo hanoga nabaidafa ba: i.
39 Then Gideon said to God, “Do not be angry with me; let me speak one more time. Please allow me one more test with the fleece. This time let it be dry, and the ground covered with dew.”
Amalalu, Gidione da Hina Godema amane sia: i, “Hina Gode! Dia nama mae ougima. Na da adoba: su afadafa eno hamomu da defeala: ? Be ha afaega musa: agoane hamosea, sibi hinabo houga: i da hafoga: i amola osobo da nanegai agoane ba: mu da defea.”
40 And that night God did so. Only the fleece was dry, and dew covered the ground.
Amo gasia Gode da amo liligi didiliwane hamoi. Golale hahabe, sibi hinabo houga: i da hafoga: i ba: i, be osobo da oubi baeaga nanegai dialebe ba: i.
