< Judges 8 >

1 Then the men of Ephraim said to Gideon, “Why have you done this to us? Why did you fail to call us when you went to fight against Midian?” And they contended with him violently.
Kinuna dagiti tattao ti Efraim kenni Gideon, “Ania daytoy nga inaramidmo kadakami? Saannakami nga inayaban idi napanka nakigubat iti Midian.” Ket nakisinnuppiatda kenkuana iti kasta unay.
2 But Gideon answered them, “Now what have I accomplished compared to you? Are not the gleanings of Ephraim better than the grape harvest of Abiezer?
Kinunana kadakuada, “Ania ita ti inaramidko a maiyasping kadakayo? Saan aya a nasaysayaat dagiti matudtud nga ubas ti Efraim ngem ti sibubukel nga apit iti ubas ni Abie-zer?
3 God has delivered Oreb and Zeeb, the two princes of Midian, into your hand. What was I able to do compared to you?” When he had said this, their anger against him subsided.
Pinagballiginakayo ti Dios kadagiti prinsipe ti Midian- da Oreb ken Zeeb! Ania ti naaramidko a maiyasping kadakayo?” Bimmaaw ti ungetda kenkuana idi imbagana daytoy.
4 Then Gideon and his three hundred men came to the Jordan and crossed it, exhausted yet still in pursuit.
Dimteng ni Gideon idiay Jordan ket bimmallasiw iti daytoy, isuna ken dagiti tallo gasut a lallaki a kaduana. Nabannogdan, ngem intultuloyda latta ti panagkamatda.
5 So Gideon said to the men of Succoth, “Please give my troops some bread, for they are exhausted, and I am still pursuing Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian.”
Kinunana kadagiti lallaki ti Succot, “Pangngaasiyo ta ikkanyo ti tinapay dagiti tattao a sumursurot kaniak, gapu ta nabannogdan, ket kamkamatek da Zeba ken Salmunna, dagiti ari ti Midian.”
6 But the leaders of Succoth asked, “Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in your possession, that we should give bread to your army?”
Kinuna dagiti mangidadaulo iti Succot, “Naparmekmo kadin da Zeba ken Salmunna? Saanmi nga ammo no apay a rumbeng nga ikkanmi iti tinapay ti armadam.”
7 “Very well,” Gideon replied, “when the LORD has delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, I will tear your flesh with the thorns and briers of the wilderness!”
Kinuna ni Gideon, “Inton pagballigiennakami ni Yahweh kada Zeba ken Salmunna, pirsapirsayekto ti lasagyo babaen kadagiti sisiit iti let-ang ken kadagiti sisiitan a mula.”
8 From there he went up to Penuel and asked the same from them, but the men of Penuel gave the same response as the men of Succoth.
Simmang-at isuna idiay Penuel manipud sadiay ket nakisarita kadagiti tattao sadiay iti isu met laeng a wagas, ngem sinungbatan isuna dagiti lallaki idiay Penuel iti kas met laeng iti insungbat dagiti lallaki idiay Succot.
9 So Gideon told the men of Penuel, “When I return in triumph, I will tear down this tower!”
Nagsao met isuna kadagiti lallaki ti Penuel ket kinunana, “Inton agsubliak manen a sikakappia, rebbaekto daytoy a torre.”
10 Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor with their army of about fifteen thousand men—all that were left of the armies of the people of the east. A hundred and twenty thousand swordsmen had already fallen.
Ita, adda da Zeba ken Salmunna idiay Carcor, agraman ti armadada, agarup 15, 000 a lallaki, dagiti amin a nabati iti entero nga armada dagiti tattao iti daya. Gapu ta napasag ti 120, 000 a lallaki a nasanay a makigubat babaen iti kampilan.
11 And Gideon went up by way of the caravan route east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and he attacked their army, taking them by surprise.
Simmang-at ni Gideon iti kampo ti kabusor a nagna iti dalan ti Nomad, a limmabas idiay Noba ken Jogbea. Pinarmekna ti armada ti kabusor, gapu ta saanda a namnamaen ti panangraut.
12 When Zebah and Zalmunna fled, Gideon pursued and captured these two kings of Midian, routing their entire army.
Nagtaray da Zeba ken Salmunna, ket kabayatan a kamkamaten ida ni Gideon, natiliwna dagiti dua nga ari ti Midian- da Zeba ken Salmunna- ken riniribukna ti amin nga armadada.
13 After this, Gideon son of Joash returned from the battle along the Ascent of Heres.
Nagsubli ni Gideon a putot a lalaki ni Joas manipud iti paggugubatan a nagna iti bessang ti Heres.
14 There he captured a young man of Succoth and interrogated him. The young man wrote down for him the names of the seventy-seven leaders and elders of Succoth.
Nakasabat isuna iti maysa nga agtutubo a lalaki kadagiti tattao ti Succot ket nagdamag isuna kenkuana. Inladawan ti agtutubo a lalaki kenkuana dagiti mangidadaulo iti Succot ken dagiti panglakayen daytoy, pitopulo ket pito a lallaki.
15 And Gideon went to the men of Succoth and said, “Here are Zebah and Zalmunna, about whom you taunted me, saying, ‘Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in your possession, that we should give bread to your weary men?’”
Napan ni Gideon kadagiti lallaki ti Succot ket kinunana, “Kitaenyo da Zeba ken Salmunna, a nanglaisanyo kaniak a kinunayo, ‘Naparmekmo kadin da Zeba ken Salmunna? Saanmi nga ammo no apay a rumbeng nga ikkanmi iti tinapay ti armadam.”'
16 Then he took the elders of the city, and using the thorns and briers of the wilderness, he disciplined the men of Succoth.
Innala ni Gideon dagiti panglakayen ti siudad, ket dinusana dagiti lallaki ti Succot babaen kadagiti sisiit ti let-ang ken nasiit a mulmula.
17 He also pulled down the tower of Penuel and killed the men of the city.
Ket rinebbana ti torre ti Penuel ken pinatayna dagiti lallaki iti dayta a siudad.
18 Next, Gideon asked Zebah and Zalmunna, “What kind of men did you kill at Tabor?” “Men like you,” they answered, “each one resembling the son of a king.”
Kinuna ni Gideon kada Zeba ken Salmunna, “Ania ti langa dagiti tattao a pinatayyo idiay Tabor?” Insungbatda, “No kasano ti langam, kasta met kadakuada. Aglanglanga ti tunggal maysa kadakuada a kasla anak iti maysa nga ari.”
19 “They were my brothers,” Gideon replied, “the sons of my mother! As surely as the LORD lives, if you had let them live, I would not kill you.”
Kinuna ni Gideon, “Kakabsatko ida, dagiti annak a lallaki ti inak. Iti nagan ni Yahweh nga adda iti agnanayon, no pinagtalinaedyo koma ida a sibibiag, saankayo koma a patayen.”
20 So he said to Jether, his firstborn, “Get up and kill them.” But the young man did not draw his sword; he was fearful because he was still a youth.
Kinunana kenni Jeter (ti inauna nga anakna), “Tumakderka ket patayem ida!” Ngem saan nga inasut ti agtutubo a lalaki ti kampilanna ta mabuteng isuna, gapu ta ubing pay laeng isuna.
21 Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, “Get up and kill us yourself, for as the man is, so is his strength.” So Gideon got up and killed Zebah and Zalmunna, and he took the crescent ornaments from the necks of their camels.
Ket kinuna da Zeba ken Salmunna, “Tumakderka ket patayennakami! Ta kas iti kinalalaki, kasta met ti pigsana.” Timmakder ni Gideon ket pinatayna da Zeba ken Salmunna. Innalana pay dagiti ar-arkos a sinan-bulan nga adda kadagiti tengnged dagiti kamelioda.
22 Then the Israelites said to Gideon, “Rule over us—you and your son and grandson—for you have saved us from the hand of Midian.”
Kalpasanna, kinuna dagiti lallaki ti Israel kenni Gideon, “Iturayannakami- sika, ti putotmo a lalaki ken ti appokom a lalaki- gapu ta insalakannakami iti pannakabalin ti Midian.
23 But Gideon replied, “I will not rule over you, nor will my son. The LORD shall rule over you.”
Kinuna ni Gideon kadakuada, “Saan a siak ti mangituray kadakayo, wenno ti anakko a lalaki ti mangituray kadakayo. Ni Yahweh ti mangituray kadakayo.”
24 Then he added, “Let me make a request of you, that each of you give me an earring from his plunder.” (For the enemies had gold earrings because they were Ishmaelites.)
Kinuna ni Gideon kadakuada, “Adda koma kiddawek kadakayo: nga ited koma kaniak ti tunggal maysa kadakayo dagiti aritos manipud iti sinamsamna.” (Addaan dagiti Midianita kadagiti balitok nga aritos gapu ta Ismaelitada.)
25 “We will give them gladly,” they replied. So they spread out a garment, and each man threw an earring from his plunder onto it.
Insungbatda, “Siraragsakkami a mangited kadagitoy kenka.” Nangiyaplagda iti kagay ket impuruak ti tunggal lalaki iti daytoy dagiti aritos manipud iti sinamsamna.
26 The weight of the gold earrings he had requested was 1,700 shekels, in addition to the crescent ornaments, the pendants, the purple garments of the kings of Midian, and the chains from the necks of their camels.
1, 700 a siklo iti balitok ti kadagsen dagiti balitok nga aritos a kiniddawna. Mainayon daytoy a sinamsam kadagiti sinan-bulan nga ar-arkos, kadagiti bitin-bitin, kadagiti maris-ube a pagan-anay nga ingkawes dagiti ari ti Midian, ken mainayon kadagiti kawar a naipalikmut kadagiti tengnged dagiti kamelioda.
27 From all this Gideon made an ephod, which he placed in Ophrah, his hometown. But soon all Israel prostituted themselves by worshiping it there, and it became a snare to Gideon and his household.
Nangaramid ni Gideon iti efod manipud kadagiti aritos ket ingkabilna daytoy iti siudadna, idiay Ofra, ket nagbalangkantis dagiti amin nga Israel babaen iti panagdaydayawda iti daytoy sadiay. Nagbalin daytoy a palab-og para kenni Gideon ken kadagiti adda iti balayna.
28 In this way Midian was subdued before the Israelites and did not raise its head again. So the land had rest for forty years in the days of Gideon,
Naparmek ngarud ti Midian iti sangoanan dagiti tattao ti Israel ket saandan nga inngato manen dagiti uloda. Ket adda ti kappia iti daga iti las-ud iti uppat a pulo a tawen kadagiti al-aldaw ni Gideon.
29 and he—Jerubbaal son of Joash—returned home and settled down.
Nagsubli ni Jerubbaal a putot ni Joas ket nagnaed iti bukodna a balay.
30 Gideon had seventy sons of his own, since he had many wives.
Pitopulo a lallaki ti putot ni Gideon, gapu ta adu ti assawana.
31 His concubine, who dwelt in Shechem, also bore him a son, and he named him Abimelech.
Nangipasngay met kenkuana iti lalaki ti kabkabbalayenna nga adda idi idiay Sikem, ket pinanaganan ni Gideon isuna iti Abimelec.
32 Later, Gideon son of Joash died at a ripe old age and was buried in the tomb of his father Joash in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
Natay ni Gideon a putot a lalaki ni Joas idi lakay unayen isuna ket naitabon iti ayan ti tanem ni Joas nga amana, idiay Ofra iti puli ti Abie-zer.
33 And as soon as Gideon was dead, the Israelites turned and prostituted themselves with the Baals, and they set up Baal-berith as their god.
Ket napasamak, apaman a natay ni Gideon, timmallikud manen dagiti tattao ti Israel ket nagbalangkantisda babaen iti panagdaydayawda kadagiti Baal. Pinagbalinda ni Baal-berit a diosda.
34 The Israelites failed to remember the LORD their God who had delivered them from the hands of all their enemies on every side.
Saan a nalagip dagiti tattao ti Israel a dayawen ni Yahweh a Diosda a nangispal kadakuada manipud iti pannakabalin dagiti amin a kabusorda iti aglawlawda.
35 They did not show kindness to the house of Jerubbaal (that is, Gideon) for all the good things he had done for Israel.
Saanda a tinungpal dagiti karida iti balay ni Jerubbaal (ti sabali pay a nagan ni Gideon) a kas subad iti amin a kinasayaat nga inaramidna iti Israel.
