Judges 7
1 And Jerobaal rose early, the same is Gedeon, and all the people with him, and encamped at the fountain of Arad; and the camp of Madiam was to the north of him, [reaching] from Gabaathamorai, in the valley.
Gideon, ame si wogayɔna be Yerubaal kple eƒe aʋakɔ fɔ ŋdi kanya heyi keke Harɔd vudo la gbɔ. Midiantɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ ƒo ƒu ɖe Gideon ƒe aʋakɔ ƒe anyiehe lɔƒo le balime si le More to la gbɔ xa.
2 And the Lord said to Gedeon, The people with thee [are] many, so that I may not deliver Madiam into their hand, lest at any time Israel boast against me, saying, My hand has saved me.
Yehowa gblɔ na Gideon be, “Wò aʋakɔ la sɔ gbɔ akpa! Nyemaɖe mɔ mi katã miawɔ aʋa kple Midiantɔwo o, elabena Israelviwo ava ƒo adegbe nam be, ‘Míawoe ɖe mía ɖokuiwo to míawo ŋutɔ ƒe ŋusẽ me’
3 And now speak in the ears of the people, saying, Who [is] afraid and fearful? let him turn and depart from mount Galaad: and there returned of the people twenty-two thousand, and ten thousand were left.
Ɖo wò ame siwo nye vɔvɔ̃nɔtɔwo kple ame siwo dzidzi ƒo la ɖe aƒe.” Ale ame akpe blaeve-vɔ-eve trɔ dzo eye ame akpe ewo siwo nɔ klalo na aʋawɔwɔ koe susɔ.
4 And the Lord said to Gedeon, The people is yet numerous; bring them down to the water, and I will purge them there for thee: and it shall come to pass that of whomsoever I shall say to thee, This one shall go with thee, [even] he shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I shall say to thee, This one shall not go with thee, [even] he shall not go with thee.
Yehowa gagblɔ na Gideon be, “Ameawo sɔ gbɔ akpa. Kplɔ wo yi tɔ la to, ekema mafia ame siwo ayi kpli wò kple esiwo mayi o la wò. Ne megblɔ be, ‘Ame sia nayi kpli wò la’ ekema ayi, ke ne megblɔ be, ‘Ame sia mayi kpli wò o la’ ekema mayi o.”
5 And he brought the people down to the water; and the Lord said to Gedeon, Whosoever shall lap of the water with his tongue as if a dog should lap, thou shalt set him apart, and [also] whosoever shall bow down upon his knees to drink.
Gideon kplɔ wo yi tɔ la gbɔ eye Yehowa gblɔ na Gideon be, “Ame siwo akpe nu ɖe tsi me eye woano tsi abe avu ene la, nanɔ hatsotso ɖeka me eye ame siwo adze klo eye woaku tsia kple asi ano la hã nanɔ hatsotso bubu me.”
6 And the number of those that lapped with their hand to their mouth was three hundred men; and all the rest of the people bowed upon their knees to drink water.
Ewɔ nenema eye ame siwo ku tsia kple asi heno la nɔ ame alafa etɔ̃, ame bubuawo katã nye ame siwo dze klo heno tsia abe avu ene.
7 And the Lord said to Gedeon, I will save you by the three hundred men that lapped, and I will give Madiam into thy hand; and all the [rest of the] people shall go every one to his place.
Yehowa gblɔ na Gideon be, “Maɖu Midiantɔwo dzi kple ame alafa etɔ̃ siawo! Na ame mamlɛawo natrɔ ayi aƒe!”
8 And they took the provision of the people in their hand, and their horns; and he sent away every man of Israel each to his tent, and he strengthened the three hundred; and the army of Madiam were beneath him in the valley.
Gideon xɔ anyikpluawo kple kpẽawo le Israelviwo si, ɖo wo ɖe aƒe eye ame alafa etɔ̃awo koe tsi anyi. Midiantɔwo ƒo ƒu ɖe balime si le Gideon te.
9 And it came to pass in that night that the Lord said to him, Arise, go down into the camp, for I have delivered it into thy hand.
Aƒetɔ la gblɔ na Gideon le zã me be, “Fɔ kaba! Kplɔ wò aʋawɔlawo, eye miadze Midiantɔwo dzi elabena mana miaɖu wo dzi!
10 And if thou art afraid to go down, go down thou and thy servant Phara into the camp.
Ke ne èle vɔvɔ̃m la, ekema wò ɖeka yi futɔwo ƒe asaɖa la me, kplɔ wò subɔla Pura ɖe asi,
11 And thou shalt hear what they shall say, and afterwards thy hands shall be strong, and thou shalt go down into the camp: and he went down and Phara his servant to the extremity of the [companies of] fifty, which were in the camp.
eye nàɖo to nya siwo gblɔm futɔwo le, ekema dzi aɖo ƒowò, eye nàtso enumake ɖe aʋa la wɔwɔ ŋu!” Ale Gideon kplɔ Pura ɖe asi eye wowɔ ɖɔɖɔɖɔ yi futɔwo ƒe nɔƒe.
12 And Madiam and Amalec and all the children of the east [were] scattered in the valley, as the locust for multitude; and there was no number to their camels, but they were as the sand on the seashore for multitude.
Midiantɔwo kple Amalekitɔwo kple dukɔ bubuwo tso ɣedzeƒe ƒo ƒu ɖe balime la abe ʋetsuviwo alo ƒutake ene eye woƒe kposɔwo sɔ gbɔ wu xexlẽ.
13 And Gedeon came, and behold a man [was] relating to his neighbour a dream, and he said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream, and behold, a cake of barley bread rolling into the camp of Madiam, and it came as far as a tent, and smote it, and it fell, and it turned it up, and the tent fell.
Gideon te ɖe agbadɔ aɖe ŋu esime futɔwo dometɔ ɖeka ku drɔ̃e, ɖi vo, nyɔ tso alɔ̃ me teti henɔ drɔ̃e la lĩm na nɔvia. Egblɔ be, “Meku drɔ̃e dziŋɔ aɖe, abolo gã aɖe mli ge ɖe míaƒe asaɖa la me eye wòlɔ míaƒe agbadɔ la ƒu anyi gbloo!”
14 And his neighbour answered and said, This is none other than the sword of Gedeon, son of Joas, a man of Israel: God has delivered Madiam and all the host into his hand.
Ame evelia gblɔ be, “Gɔmeɖeɖe ɖeka koe le wò drɔ̃e la si. Gideon, Yoas ƒe vi, Israel ŋutsu la ava tsrɔ̃ Midiantɔwo kple dukɔ bubu siwo kpe ɖe wo ŋu la ƒe aʋakɔwo katã.”
15 And it came to pass when Gedeon heard the account of the dream and the interpretation of it, that he worshipped the Lord, and returned to the camp of Israel, and said, Rise, for the Lord has delivered the camp of Madiam into our hand.
Gideon se drɔ̃e la kple eƒe gɔmeɖeɖe. Nu si ko wòte ŋu wɔ lae nye etsi tsitre ɖe afi ma eye wòkafu Mawu! Azɔ etrɔ enumake yi Israelviwo ƒe asaɖa me eye wòdo ɣli be, “Mifɔ kaba elabena Yehowa ana míaɖu Midiantɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ gã siawo dzi!”
16 And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and put horns in the hands of all, and empty pitchers, and torches in the pitchers:
Gideon ma ame alafa etɔ̃ la ɖe akpa etɔ̃ me, tsɔ kpẽ kple anyikplu si me akakati le la na ame sia ame.
17 and he said to them, Ye shall look at me, and so shall ye do; and behold, I will go into the beginning of the host, and it shall come to pass [that] as I do, so shall ye do.
Ke eɖe eƒe ɖoɖowo me na wo hegblɔ be, “Ne míeva ɖo futɔwo ƒe asaɖaŋudzɔlawo gbɔ la, miwɔ nu si tututu mawɔ.
18 And I will sound with the horn, and all ye with me shall sound with the horn round about the whole camp, and ye shall say, For the Lord and Gedeon.
Ne nye kple nye amewo míeku míaƒe kpẽwo ko la, miawo hã miku mia tɔwo le asaɖa la ƒe akpa ɖe sia ɖe eye miado ɣli sesĩe be, ‘Míele aʋa wɔm na Mawu kple Gideon!’”
19 And Gedeon and the hundred men that were with him came to the extremity of the army in the beginning of the middle watch; and they completely roused the guards, and sounded with the horns, and they broke the pitchers that were in their hands,
Ale Gideon kple ame alafa ɖeka siwo nɔ eŋu la ɖo Midiantɔwo ƒe asaɖa la ƒe gbɔto le zãtitina esime woɖɔli dzɔlawo teti. Woku woƒe kpẽwo eye wogbã anyikplu siwo le wo si.
20 and the three companies sounded with the horns, and broke the pitchers, and held the torches in their left hands, and in their right hands their horns to sound with; and they cried out, A sword for the Lord and for Gedeon.
Aʋalɔgo etɔ̃awo me nɔlawo hã ku kpẽawo, gbã woƒe anyikpluwo, lé akakatiawo ɖe mia eye wolé kpẽawo ɖe ɖusi hena kuku. Wodo ɣli sesĩe be, “Esia nye yi na Yehowa kple Gideon!”
21 And [every] man stood in his place round about the host; and all the host ran, and sounded [an alarm], and fled.
Esi Gideon ƒe ameawo ɖe to ɖe asaɖa la la, Midiantɔwo katã lé du tsɔ eye wonɔ ɣli dom esime wonɔ dua dzi.
22 And they sounded with the three hundred horns; and the Lord set [every] man's sword in all the host against his neighbour.
Esi ame alafa etɔ̃awo ku kpẽawo la, Yehowa de zi asaɖa la me be wotsɔ yi ɖe wo nɔewo ŋu. Woƒe asrafowo si yi ɖe Bet Sita ɖo ta Zerera gbɔ va se ɖe keke Abel Mehola si te ɖe Tabat ƒe liƒo dzi ke.
23 And the host fled as far as Bethseed Tagaragatha Abel-meula to Tabath; and the men of Israel from Nephthali, and from Aser, and from all Manasse, came to help, and followed after Madiam.
Woyɔ Israelvi siwo tso Naftali, Aser kple Manase la, wodo go eye woti Midiantɔwo yome.
24 And Gedeon sent messengers into all mount Ephraim, saying, Come down to meet Madiam, and take to yourselves the water as far as Baethera and Jordan: and every man of Ephraim cried out, and they took the water before hand unto Baethera and Jordan.
Gideon dɔ dɔlawo wotsa le Efraim tonyigba la katã dzi nɔ gbɔgblɔm be, “Miɖi va dze Midiantɔwo dzi eye miaxe mɔ na woƒe Yɔdan tɔsisi la tsotso va se ɖe keke Bet Bera ke.” Ale woyɔ Efraim ŋutsuwo katã do goe eye woxe Yɔdan ƒe tɔtsoƒewo katã va se ɖe Bet Bera ke.
25 And they took the princess of Madiam, even Oreb and Zeb; and they slew Oreb in Sur Oreb, and they slew Zeb in Jakephzeph; and they pursued Madiam, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeb to Gedeon from beyond Jordan.
Israelviwo lé Midiantɔwo ƒe aʋafia eveawo, Oreb kple Zeb. Wowu Oreb le agakpe si wotsɔ eƒe ŋkɔ na eye woyɔnɛ fifia be Oreb la gbɔ eye wowu Zeb le wainfiaƒe si woyɔna fifia be Zeb. Woti Midiantɔwo yome eye wotsɔ Oreb kple Zib ƒe tawo vɛ na Gideon le Yɔdan tɔsisi la godo.
