Judges 6
1 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord gave them into the hand of Madiam seven years.
Mwet Israel elos sifilpa orekma koluk ye mutun LEUM GOD, na LEUM GOD El eisalosyang nu inpoun mwet Midian ke lusen yac itkosr.
2 And the hand of Madiam prevailed against Israel: and the children of Israel made for themselves because of Madiam the caves in the mountains, and the dens, and the holes in the rocks.
Mwet Midian elos ku liki mwet Israel, ke ma inge mwet Israel elos wikwik in luf ku kutepacna acn elos ku in wikla we fineol uh.
3 And it came to pass when the children of Israel sowed, that Madiam and Amalec went up, and the children of the east went up together with them.
Pacl nukewa ma mwet Israel inge ac yukwi sacn sunalos uh, mwet Midian ac mwet Amalek ac mwet ma muta yen mwesis uh elos ac tuku ac orek lokoalok nu selos.
4 And they encamped against them, and destroyed their fruits until they came to Gaza; and they left not the support of life in the land of Israel, not even ox or ass among the herds.
Mwet inge ac tuku tulokinya lohm nuknuk selos uh in acn elos imai inge, ac kunausla ima ac sacn sunalos uh. Elos ac kunausla acn inge som na nwe eir apkuran nu Gaza. Elos ac oayapa sruok sheep, cow, ac donkey natulos, ac tia filiya kutena ma nu sin mwet Israel.
5 For they and their stock came up, and their tents were with them, as the locust in multitude, and there was no number to them and their camels; and they came to the land of Israel, and laid it waste.
Ke mwet inge ac tuku wi ma orakrak natulos ac lohm nuknuk selos uh, elos arulana pus oana pusiyen locust uh. Mwet inge, weang camel natulos uh, elos arulana pusla, tia ku in oaoala. Elos ac fahsrot kunausla acn na lulap,
6 And Israel was greatly impoverished because of Madiam.
ac wangin ma mwet Israel ku in oru nu selos. Na mwet Israel elos wowoyak nu sin LEUM GOD tuh Elan kasrelos.
7 And the children of Israel cried to the Lord because of Madiam.
Ke mwet Israel elos wowoyak nu sin LEUM GOD ke sripen mwet Midian inge,
8 And the Lord sent a prophet to the children of Israel; and he said to them, Thus says the Lord God of Israel, I am he that brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and I brought you up out of the house of your bondage.
na LEUM GOD El ac supwama sie mwet palu nu yurin mwet Israel, ac el ac fahk nu selos, “LEUM GOD El fahk, Nga God lun Israel, su uskowosme liki sruoh lowos in acn Egypt.
9 And I delivered you out of the hand of Egypt, and out of the hand of all that afflicted you, and I cast them out before you; and I gave you their land.
Nga molikowosla liki mwet Egypt, oayapa liki mwet su lain kowos in facl se inge. Nga lusak mwet lokoalok lowos ye motowos ac eisla facl selos ac asot tuh in ma lowos.
10 And I said to you, I [am] the Lord your God: ye shall not fear the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell; but ye hearkened not to my voice.
Nga tuh fahk nu suwos lah nga LEUM GOD lowos, ac kowos in tia alu nu sin god lun mwet Amor su kowos muta fin acn selos inge. Tuh pa kowos tiana porongeyu.”
11 And an angel of the Lord came, and sat down under the fir tree, which was in Ephratha in the land of Joas father of Esdri; and Gedeon his son [was] threshing wheat in a wine-press in order to escape from the face of Madiam.
Na sie lipufan lun LEUM GOD El tuku nu Ophrah ac muta ye sak oak soko sunal Joash, sie mwet in ota lal Abiezer. Gideon, wen natul, el wikla muta tuktuk wheat ke nien fut wain, mwet Midian inge in tia liyal.
12 And the angel of the Lord appeared to him and said to him, The Lord [is] with thee, thou mighty in strength.
Na lipufan sac sikyang nu sel ac fahk, “LEUM GOD El wi kom. Kom sie mwet ku ac pulaik!”
13 And Gedeon said to him, [Be gracious] with me, my Lord: but if the Lord is with us, why have these evils found us? and where are all his miracles, which our fathers have related to us, saying, Did not the Lord bring us up out of Egypt? and now he has cast us out, and given us into the hand of Madiam.
Na Gideon el fahk nu sel, “Oasr sie ma nga kena siyuk sum. LEUM GOD El fin wi kut, efu ku ma inge sikyak ouinge nu sesr— Pia sruhk ma wowo mwet matu lasr meet ah tuh srumun nu sesr mu LEUM GOD El tuh oru wo nu selos ke El tuh usalosme liki acn Egypt ah— Pacl inge LEUM GOD El siskutla ac filikuti ye poun mwet Midian inge.”
14 And the angel of the Lord turned to him, and said, Go in this thy strength, and thou shalt save Israel out of the hand of Madiam: behold, I have sent thee.
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Gideon, “Fahsrot ke ku lom kewa, ac molela mwet Israel liki mwet Midian. Nga pa supwekom uh.”
15 And Gedeon said to him, [Be gracious] with me, my Lord: whereby shall I save Israel? behold, my thousand is weakened in Manasse, and I am the least in my father's house.
Ac Gideon el topuk ac fahk, “O LEUM GOD, nga ac molela Israel fuka— Ota luk uh pa munas emeet ke sruf lal Manasseh, ac nga pa pilasr emeet in sou luk uh.”
16 And the angel of the Lord said to him, The Lord shall be with thee, and thou shalt smite Madiam as one man.
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel, “Kom ku in oru mweyen nga ac fah kasrekom. Kom ac fah itungya mwet Midian inge arulana fisrasr, oana in mwet sefanna.”
17 And Gedeon said to him, If now I have found mercy in thine eyes, and thou wilt do this day for me all that thou hast spoken of with me,
Ac Gideon el topuk, “Nga fin ohi sum, nga siyuk tuh kom in ase sie mwe akul in akpwayeye lah kom pa LEUM GOD.
18 depart not hence until I come to thee, and I will bring forth an offering and offer it before thee: and he said, I will remain until thou return.
Nunak munas, nikmet som nwe ke nga use kutu mwe mongo nu sum.” Na lipufan sac fahk, “Nga ac mutana nwe ke kom foloko.”
19 And Gedeon went in, and prepared a kid of the goats, and an ephah of fine flour unleavened; and he put the flesh in the basket, and poured the broth into the pot, and brought them forth to him under the turpentine tree, and drew nigh.
Na Gideon el som nu in lohm sel ah, ac akmolyela nani fusr soko, ac el eis sie bushel in flao ac munanla bread wangin mwe pulol kac. El sang ikwa sac nu in fotoh se ac sup ah nu in tup se, ac use ma inge nu yurin lipufan lun LEUM GOD su muta ye sak oak soko ah, ac el sang nu sel tuh elan mongo.
20 And the angel of God said to him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and put them on that rock, and pour out the broth close by: and he did so.
Ac lipufan sac fahk nu sel, “Filiya ikwa ac bread an fin eot se inge, ac okoaung sup an nu fac.” Gideon el oru oana.
21 And the angel of the Lord stretched out the end of the rod that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened bread; and fire came up out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened bread, and the angel of the Lord vanished from his sight.
Na lipufan lun LEUM GOD el asroela sak soko oan inpaol ah, ac pusralla ikwa ac bread inge ke mutun sak soko ah. Na e se sikyak ke eot sac twe esukak ikwa ac bread inge. Na lipufan sac wanginla.
22 And Gedeon saw that he was an angel of the Lord; and Gedeon said, Ah, ah, Lord my God! for I have seen the angel of the Lord face to face.
Ke ma inge Gideon el akilen lah lipufan lun LEUM GOD pa el liye ah. Na Gideon el sangeng ac fahk, “O LEUM GOD Fulat, nga liye na pwaye lipufan lom — kut angetani sie sin sie!”
23 And the Lord said to him, Peace be to thee, fear not, thou shalt not die.
A LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel, “Misla nu sum, ac nikmet sangeng. Kom ac fah tia misa.”
24 And Gedeon built there an altar to the Lord, and called it The peace of the Lord, until this day, as it is still inEphratha of the father of Esdri.
Ac Gideon el etoak sie loang nu sin LEUM GOD in acn sac, ac el pangon loang sac “LEUM GOD El Misla.” (Loang se inge srakna oan Ophrah nwe misenge. Acn sac ma lun ota lal Abiezer.)
25 And it came to pass in that night, that the Lord said to him, Take the young bullock which thy father has, even the second bullock of seven years old, and thou shalt destroy the altar of Baal which thy father has, and the grove which is by itthou shalt destroy.
In fong sacna LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Gideon, “Eis cow mukul nutin papa tomom an, ac soko pac ma yac itkosr matwa, ac kunausya loang lun Baal su papa tomom el orala, ac pakpakiya ma sruloala kacl god Asherah, su ma oanna siska an.
26 And thou shalt build an altar to the Lord thy God on the top of this Maozi in the ordering[it], and thou shalt take the second bullock, and shalt offer up whole-burnt-offerings with the wood of the grove, which thou shalt destroy.
Etoak sie loang na wowo an nu sin LEUM GOD lom fin tohktok se inge. Ac eis cow soko aklukwa ma yac itkosr an, ac oru sie kisa firir an kac, ac etongkin kutkut in sak ma kom pakpakiya ke ma sruloala kacl Asherah.”
27 And Gedeon took ten men of his servants, and did as the Lord spoke to him: and it came to pass, as he feared the house of his father and the men of the city if he should do it by day, that he did it by night.
Na Gideon el eis mwet singoul sin mwet kulansap lal ac oru oana ma LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel. El arulana sangeng sin sou lal ah, ac sin mwet in siti uh, pwanang el kofla oru ma inge ke len, a el oru ke fong.
28 And the men of the city rose up early in the morning; and behold, the altar of Baal had been demolished, and the grove by it had been destroyed; and they saw the second bullock, which Gedeon offered on the altar that had been built.
Ke mwet in siti uh toang tukakek in lotu tok ah, elos liye tuh loang lal Baal ac ma sruloala kacl Asherah ah musalsalu, ac cow soko aklukwa ah kisakinyuk tari fin loang se su musaiyukyak.
29 And a man said to his neighbour, Who has done this thing? and they enquired and searched, and learnt that Gedeon the son of Joas had done this thing.
Mwet uh asiyuki sie sin sie ac fahk, “Su oru ma se inge?” Elos suk nwe konauk tuh na Gideon, wen natul Joash, pa oru ma sac.
30 And the men of the city said to Joas, Bring out thy son, and let him die, because he has destroyed the altar of Baal, and because he has destroyed the grove that is by it.
Na elos fahk nu sel Joash, “Use wen nutum nu inge tuh kut in unilya! El kunausla loang lal Baal ac pakpakiya ma sruloala lal Asherah su oan siska.”
31 And Gedeon the son of Joas said to all the men who rose up against him, Do ye now plead for Baal, or will ye save him? whoever will plead for him, let him be slain this morning: if he be a god let him plead for himself, [because] one has thrown down his altar.
Ac Joash el fahk nu selos su tuku in lainul, “Ya kowos ac welul Baal lac— Ya kowos ac eis acn sel— Kutena mwet fin welul, el ac fah anwuki meet liki lututang. Baal el fin sie god, lela elan sifacna molella. Ma lal pa loang se ma kunausyukla ah.”
32 And he called it in that day Jerobaal, saying, Let Baal plead thereby, because his altar has been thrown down.
Tukun pacl se inge, pangpang Gideon “Jerubbaal,” ke sripen Joash el fahk mu, “Lela Baal elan sifacna molella. Ma lal pa loang se ma kunausyukla ah.”
33 And all Madiam, and Amalek, and the sons of the east gathered themselves together, and encamped in the valley of Jezrael.
Na mwet Midian, mwet Amalek, ac mwet yen mwesis uh elos toeni, ac fahsr sasla Infacl Jordan ac tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos ke Infahlfal Jezreel.
34 And the Spirit of the Lord came upon Gedeon, and he blew with the horn, and Abiezer came to help after him.
Ngunin LEUM GOD tuku nu facl Gideon, ac el ukya mwe ukuk uh in pangon mwet in ota lal Abiezer tuh elos in fahsr tokol.
35 And [Gedeon] sent messengers into all Manasse, and into Aser, and into Zabulon, and into Nephthali; and he went up to meet them.
El supwala mwet utuk kas in fahsr sasla acn lun mwet Manasseh Roto ac mwet Manasseh Kutulap kewa elos in tuku fahsr tokol. El supwala pac mwet utuk kas nu sin sruf lal Asher ac Zebulun ac Naphtali, na elos tuku pac welul.
36 And Gedeon said to God, If thou wilt save Israel by my hand, as thou hast said,
Na Gideon el fahk nu sin LEUM GOD, “Kom fahk mu kom suleyula tuh kom in orekmakinyu in molela mwet Israel.
37 behold, I put the fleece of wool in the threshing-floor: if there be dew on the fleece only, and drought on all the ground, I shall know that thou wilt save Israel by my hand, as thou hast said.
Liye, nga ac filiya kutu unen sheep fin fohk uh in nien kulkul wheat uh. Lututang nga fah liye, fin oasr aunfong ke unen sheep uh a wangin fin fohk uh, na nga fah etu lah pwaye kom ac orekmakinyu in molela mwet Israel.”
38 And it was so: and he rose up early in the morning, and wrung the fleece, and dew dropped from the fleece, a bowl full of water.
Na sikyak oana ma el siyuk ah. Ke Gideon el toang tukakek in lotu tok ah, el fulala unac sac na kof kac ah nwakla pol se.
39 And Gedeon said to God, Let not, I pray thee, thine anger be kindled with me, and I will speak yet once; I will even yet make one trial more with the fleece: let now the drought be upon the fleece only, and let there be dew on all the ground.
Na Gideon el fahk nu sin God, “Nikmet mulat sik, mweyen nga ke fahkak pac sie ma. Nunak munas, lela nu sik tuh nga in srike siyuk sie pac ma ke unen sheep uh. Ke pacl se inge, oru tuh unen sheep uh in pao, ac fin fohk uh in sroksrok.”
40 And God did so in that night; and there was drought on the fleece only, and on all the ground there was dew.
Ke fong sac God El oru oana. Ke lututang ah unen sheep sac pao na, a fin fohk uh sroksrok ke aunfong.
