< Judges 7 >

1 Early in the morning Jerubbaal (that is, Gideon) and all the men with him camped beside the spring of Harod. And the camp of Midian was north of them in the valley near the hill of Moreh.
Ket nasapa a bimmangon ni Jerubbaal (dayta ni Gideon) ken dagiti amin a tattao a kaduana, ket nagkampoda iti abay ti ubbog ti Harod. Adda ti kampo ti Midian iti amiananda iti tanap nga asideg iti turod ti More.
2 Then the LORD said to Gideon, “You have too many people for Me to deliver Midian into their hands, lest Israel glorify themselves over Me, saying, ‘My own hand has saved me.’
Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Gideon, “Adu unay dagiti soldado tapno pagballigienkayo kadagiti Midianita. Siguradoem a saanto nga agpalangguad ti Israel kaniak, a kunada, 'Insalakannakami ti bukodmi a pigsa.'
3 Now, therefore, proclaim in the hearing of the people: ‘Whoever is fearful and trembling may turn back and leave Mount Gilead.’” So twenty-two thousand of them turned back, but ten thousand remained.
Ita ngarud, iwaragawagmo kadagiti lapayag dagiti tattao a kunaem, “Siasinoman a mabuteng, siasinoman nga agpigpigerger, mapalubosan isuna nga agsubli ken pumanaw manipud iti Bantay Galaad.”' Pimmanaw ngarud dagiti 22, 000 a tattao ket 10, 000 ti nabati.
4 Then the LORD said to Gideon, “There are still too many people. Take them down to the water, and I will sift them for you there. If I say to you, ‘This one shall go with you,’ he shall go. But if I say, ‘This one shall not go with you,’ he shall not go.”
Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Gideon, “Adu latta dagiti tattao. Isalogmo ida iti danum, ket pagbalinek a basbassit ti bilangda para kenka sadiay. No ibagak kenka, 'Makikuyogto kenka daytoy,' makikuyogto isuna kenka; ngem no ibagak, 'Saanto a makikuyog kenka daytoy,' saanto a makikuyog isuna.”
5 So Gideon brought the people down to the water, and the LORD said to him, “Separate those who lap the water with their tongues like a dog from those who kneel to drink.”
Insalog ngarud ni Gideon dagiti tattao iti danum, ket kinuna ni Yahweh kenkuana, “Ilasinmo ti tunggal maysa a mangab-ab iti danum, a kas iti panaginum ti aso, kadagiti agparintumeng nga uminum.”
6 And the number of those who lapped the water with their hands to their mouths was three hundred men; all the others knelt to drink.
Tallo gasut a lallaki ti nagab-ab. Nagparintumeng dagiti dadduma a lallaki nga imminum iti danum.
7 Then the LORD said to Gideon, “With the three hundred men who lapped the water I will save you and deliver the Midianites into your hand. But all the others are to go home.”
Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Gideon, “Babaen kadagiti tallo gasut a lallaki a nagab-ab, ispalenkayo ken pagballigienkayo kadagiti Midianita. Pagawidemon dagiti dadduma a lallaki iti bukodda a lugar.”
8 So Gideon sent the rest of the Israelites to their tents but kept the three hundred men, who took charge of the provisions and rams’ horns of the others. And the camp of Midian lay below him in the valley.
Innala ngarud dagiti napili dagiti abastoda ken dagiti trumpetada. Pinagawid ni Gideon dagiti amin a lallaki ti Israel, napan ti tunggal lalaki iti kampona, ngem pinagbatina dagiti tallo gasut a lallaki. Ita, adda ti kampo ti Midian iti babaenna idiay tanap.
9 That night the LORD said to Gideon, “Get up and go down against the camp, for I have delivered it into your hand.
Kinuna ni Yahweh kenkuana iti dayta met laeng a rabii, “Bumangonka! Rautem ti kampo, ta pagballigienka iti daytoy.
10 But if you are afraid to do so, then go down to the camp with your servant Purah
Ngem no mabutengka a sumalog, sumalogka iti kampo a kaduam ni Pura nga adipenmo,
11 and listen to what they are saying. Then your hands will be strengthened to attack the camp.” So he went with Purah his servant to the outposts where armed men were guarding the camp.
ket denggem ti ibagbagada, ket mapaturedkanto a mangraut iti kampo.” Simmalog ngarud ni Gideon a kaduana ni Pura nga adipenna iti lugar a pagbanbantayan dagiti guardia iti kampo.
12 Now the Midianites, Amalekites, and all the other people of the east had settled in the valley like a swarm of locusts, and their camels were as countless as the sand on the seashore.
Nagkampo idiay tanap dagiti Midianita, Amalekita, ken dagiti amin a tattao iti daya, a kas kapuskol iti pangen dagiti dudon. Saan a mabilang dagiti kamelioda; ad-adu ti bilang dagitoy ngem iti darat iti igid ti baybay.
13 And as Gideon arrived, a man was telling his friend about a dream. “Behold, I had a dream,” he said, “and I saw a loaf of barley bread come tumbling into the Midianite camp. It struck the tent so hard that the tent overturned and collapsed.”
Idi dimteng ni Gideon sadiay, adda maysa a lalaki a mangibagbaga iti tagtagainepna iti kaduana. Kinuna ti lalaki, “Denggem! Nagtagtagainepak, ket nakakitaak iti nagtimbukel a tinapay a sebada a nagtulidtulid nga agturong iti kampo ti Midian. Immay daytoy iti tolda, ket dinungparna daytoy iti napigsa isu a natuang ken nagbalibaliktad, isu a naiyaplag daytoy.”
14 His friend replied: “This is nothing less than the sword of Gideon son of Joash, the Israelite. God has delivered Midian and the whole camp into his hand.”
Kinuna ti sabali a lalaki, “Awanen sabali no saan a ti kampilan ni Gideon daytoy (a putot a lalaki ni Joas), nga Israelita. Pinagballigi ti Dios isuna iti Midian ken kadagiti amin nga armadada.”
15 When Gideon heard the dream and its interpretation, he bowed in worship. He returned to the camp of Israel and said, “Get up, for the LORD has delivered the camp of Midian into your hand.”
Idi nangngeg ni Gideon ti pannakaistoria iti tagtagainep ken ti pannakailawlawagna daytoy, nagrukob isuna a nagkararag. Nagsubli isuna iti kampo ti Israel ket kinunana, “Bumangonkayo! Pinagballiginakayon ni Yahweh iti armada ti Midian.”
16 And he divided the three hundred men into three companies and gave each man a ram’s horn in one hand and a large jar in the other, containing a torch.
Biningayna ti tallo gasut a lallaki iti tallo a bunggoy, ket inikkanna amin ida kadagiti trumpeta ken banga nga awan naggianna, nga addaan kadagiti pagsilawan iti uneg ti tunggal banga.
17 “Watch me and do as I do,” Gideon said. “When I come to the outskirts of the camp, do exactly as I do.
Kinunana kadakuada, “Kitaendak ket aramidenyo ti aramidek. Buyaendak! Inton dumtengak iti igid ti kampo, masapul nga aramidenyo ti aramidek.
18 When I and all who are with me blow our horns, then you are also to blow your horns from all around the camp and shout, ‘For the LORD and for Gideon!’”
Inton paguniek ti trumpeta, siak ken dagiti amin a kaduak, ket pagunienyo met dagiti trumpetayo iti tunggal sikigan ti entero a kampo ken ipukkawyo, 'Para kenni Yahweh ken para kenni Gideon!”'
19 Gideon and the hundred men with him reached the outskirts of the camp at the beginning of the middle watch, just after the changing of the guard. They blew their horns and broke the jars that were in their hands.
Dimteng ngarud ni Gideon ken ti sangagasut a lallaki a kaduana iti igid ti kampo, sakbay iti pangrugian ti pangtengnga nga agbantay. Apaman nga agsuksukat pay laeng dagiti Midianita iti guardia, pinagunida dagiti tangguyob ken binurakda dagiti banga nga iggemda.
20 The three companies blew their horns and shattered their jars. Holding the torches in their left hands and the horns in their right hands, they shouted, “A sword for the LORD and for Gideon!”
Pinaguni dagiti tallo a bunggoy dagiti tangguyob ken binurakda dagiti banga. Iniggamanda dagiti pagsilawan iti makannigid nga imada ken dagiti tangguyob iti makannawanda tapno pagunien dagitoy. Impukkawda, “Ti kampilan ni Yahweh ken ni Gideon.”
21 Each Israelite took his position around the camp, and the entire Midianite army fled, crying out as they ran.
Nagtakder ti tunggal lalaki iti lugarna iti aglawlaw ti kampo ket nagtataray dagiti amin nga armada dagiti Midianita. Nagririaw ken nagtatarayda.
22 And when the three hundred rams’ horns sounded, the LORD set all the men in the camp against one another with their swords. The army fled to Beth-shittah toward Zererah as far as the border of Abel-meholah near Tabbath.
Idi pinagunida ti tallo gasut a tangguyob, ingkabil ni Yahweh ti tunggal kampilan ti Midianita a lalaki a maibusor iti kaduana ken maibusor kadagiti amin nga armadada. Nagtaray ti armada agingga iti Bet-sitta nga agturong iti Serera, agingga iti beddeng ti Abel-Mehola iti asideg ti Tabat.
23 Then the men of Israel were called out from Naphtali, Asher, and all Manasseh, and they pursued the Midianites.
Naguummong dagiti lallaki ti Israel a nagtaud iti Neftali, Aser, ken dagiti amin a Manasses, ket kinamatda ti Midian.
24 Gideon sent messengers throughout the hill country of Ephraim to say, “Come down against the Midianites and seize the waters of the Jordan ahead of them as far as Beth-barah.” So all the men of Ephraim were called out, and they captured the waters of the Jordan as far as Beth-barah.
Nangibaon ni Gideon kadagiti mensahero iti entero a katurturodan a pagilian ti Efraim, a kinunada, “Sumalogkayo a maibusor iti Midian ket bantayanyo ti Karayan Jordan, agingga iti Bet-bara, tapno pagsardengen ida.” Naguummong ngarud dagiti amin a lallaki ti Efraim ket binantayanda dagiti danum, agingga iti Bet-bara ken iti Karayan Jordan.
25 They also captured Oreb and Zeeb, the two princes of Midian; and they killed Oreb at the rock of Oreb and Zeeb at the winepress of Zeeb. So they pursued the Midianites and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the other side of the Jordan.
Tiniliwda ti dua a prinsipe ti Midian, da Oreb ken Zeeb. Pinatayda ni Oreb iti ayan ti bato ni Oreb, ket pinatayda ni Zeeb iti ayan ti pagpespesan ti ubas ni Zeeb. Kinamatda dagiti Midianita, ket impanda dagiti ulo da Oreb ken Zeeb kenni Gideon nga adda iti ballasiw ti Jordan.
