< Judges 6 >

1 And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the Lord: and he delivered them into the hand of Madian seven years.
Inaramid dagiti tattao ti Israel ti dakes iti imatang ni Yahweh, ket inkabilna ida iti turay ti Midian iti pito a tawen.
2 And they were grievously oppressed by them. And they made themselves dens and eaves in the mountains, and strong holds to resist.
Pinarigat ti pannakabalin ti Midian ti Israel. Gapu iti Midian, nagaramid dagiti tattao ti Israel iti pagkamanganda kadagiti gukayab iti turturod, kadagiti rukib, ken kadagiti sarikedked.
3 And when Israel had sown, Madian and Amalec, and the rest of the eastern nations came up:
Napasamak a tunggal agmula dagiti Israelita, rauten ida dagiti Midianita ken Amalekita ken dagiti tattao manipud iti daya.
4 And pitching their tents among them, wasted all things as they were in the blade even to the entrance of Gaza: and they left nothing at all in Israel for sustenance of life, nor sheep, nor oxen, nor asses.
Agkampo ti armadada iti daga ket dadaelenda dagiti mulada, agingga idiay Gaza. Awan ti ibatida a taraon iti Israel, ken awan ti karnero, baka man wenno dagiti asno.
5 For they and all their flocks came with their tents, and like locusts filled all places, an innumerable multitude of men, and of camels, wasting whatsoever they touched.
Tunggal sumang-atda ken dagiti tarakenda ken dagiti toldada, umayda a kasla pangen dagiti dudon, ket saan a mabilang dagiti tattao man wenno dagiti kamelioda. Sinakupda ti daga tapno dadaelenda daytoy.
6 And Israel was humbled exceedingly in the sight of Madian.
Nakaro iti panangpapanglaw ti Midian kadagiti Israelita isu nga immawag dagiti tattao ti Israel kenni Yahweh.
7 And he cried to the Lord desiring help against the Madianites.
Idi immawag dagiti tattao ti israel kenni Yahweh gapu iti Midian,
8 And he sent unto them a prophet, and he spoke: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: I made you to come up out of Egypt, and brought you out of the house of bondage,
nangibaon ni Yahweh iti profeta kadagiti tattao ti Israel. Kinuna ti profeta kadakuada, “Kastoy ti ibagbaga ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel: 'Inruarkayo manipud Egipto; inruarkayo manipud iti balay ti pannakatagabu.
9 And delivered you out of the hands of the Egyptians, and of all the enemies that afflicted you: and I cast them out at your coming in, and gave you their land.
Inispalkayo manipud iti pannakabalin dagiti Egiptio, ken manipud iti pannakabalin dagiti amin a nangparparigat kadakayo. Pinapanawko ida iti sangoananyo, ket intedko kadakayo ti dagada.
10 And I said: I am the Lord your God, fear not the gods of the Amorrhites, in whose land you dwell. And you would not hear my voice.
Kinunak kadakayo, “Siak ni Yahweh a Diosyo; Binilinkayo a saankayo nga agrukbab kadagiti dios dagiti Amorreo, a makindaga iti pagnanaedanyo.” Ngem saankayo a nagtulnog iti timekko.'”
11 And an angel of the Lord came, and sat under an oak, that was in Ephra, and belonged to Joas the father of the family of Ezri. And when Gedeon his son was threshing and cleansing wheat by the winepress, to flee from Madian,
Ita, immay ti anghel ni Yahweh ket nagtugaw iti sirok ti kayo a lugo idiay Ofra, a kukua ni Joas (nga Abiezerita), kabayatan a ni Gideon a putot a lalaki ni Joas ket agir-irik babaen iti panangibaotna iti daytoy iti daga, idiay pagpespesan ti arak—tapno ilemmeng daytoy kadagiti Midianita.
12 The angel of the Lord appeared to him, and said: The Lord is with thee, O most valiant of men.
Nagparang ti anghel ni Yahweh kenkuana ket kinunana, “Adda ni Yahweh kenka, sika a nabileg a mannakigubat!”
13 And Gedeon said to him: I beseech thee, my lord, if the Lord be with us, why have these evils fallen upon us? Where are his miracles, which our fathers have told us of, saying: The Lord brought us Out of Egypt? but now the Lord hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the bands of Madian.
Kinuna ni Gideon kenkuana, “O, apok, no adda ni Yahweh kadakami, apay ngarud a napasamak amin daytoy kadakami? Sadino ti ayan dagiti amin a nakakaskasdaaw nga aramidna nga imbaga dagiti ammami kadakami, idi kinunada, 'Saan kadi nga inruarnatayo ni Yahweh manipud Egipto?' Ngem ita, binaybay-annakami ni Yahweh ken inyawatnakami iti pannakabalin ti Midian.”
14 And the Lord looked upon him, and said: Go in this thy strength, and then shalt deliver Israel out of the hand of Madian: know that I have sent thee.
Kimmita ni Yahweh kenkuana ket kinunana, “Mapanka iti daytoy a pigsa nga adda kenka. Ispalem ti Israel manipud iti pannakabalin dagiti Midianita. Saanka kadi nga imbaon?”
15 He answered and said: I beseech thee, my lord, wherewith shall I deliver Israel? Behold my family is the meanest in Manasses, and I am the least in my father’s house.
Kinuna ni Gideon kenkuana, “Pangaasim, Apo, kasano a maispalko ti Israel? Kitaem, ti pamiliak ti kakapuyan iti Manases, ket siak ti kanunumoan iti balay ti amak.”
16 And the Lord said to him: I will be with thee: and thou shalt cut off Madian as one man.
Kinuna ni Yahweh kenkuana, “Addaakto kenka, ket parmekemto ti entero nga armada dagiti Midianita.”
17 And he said: If I have found grace before thee, give me a sign that it is thou that speakest to me,
Kinuna ni Gideon kenkuana, “No maay-ayoka kaniak, ikkannak ngarud iti pagilasinan a sika iti makisarsarita kaniak.
18 And depart not hence, till I return to thee, and bring a sacrifice, and offer it to thee. And he answered: I will wait thy coming.
Pangaasim, saanka a pumanaw ditoy agingga nga agsubliak kenka ken iyegko ti sagutko ket idatagko iti sangoanam.” Kinuna ni Yahweh, “Agurayak agingga nga agsublika.”
19 So Gedeon went in, and boiled a kid, and made unleavened loaves of a measure of flour: and putting the flesh in a basket, and the broth of the flesh into a pot, he carried all under the oak, and presented to him.
Napan ni Gideon ket nagparti iti urbon a kalding ken nagluto iti tinapay nga awan lebadurana manipud iti maysa nga efa ti arina. Inkabilna ti karne iti basket, ken inkabilna ti digo iti banga ket indatagna dagitoy kenkuana iti sirok ti kayo a lugo.
20 And the angel of the Lord said to him: Take the flesh and the unleavened loaves, and lay them upon that rock, and pour out the broth thereon. And when he had done so,
Kinuna ti anghel ti Dios kenkuana, “Alaem ti karne ken ti tinapay nga awan lebadurana ket iparabawmo dagitoy iti daytoy a bato, ken ibukbokmo ti digo kadagitoy.” Ket inaramid ngarud ni Gideon dayta.
21 The angel of the Lord put forth the tip of the rod, which he held in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened loaves: and there arose a fire from the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened loaves: and the angel of the Lord vanished out of his sight.
Ket inggaw-at ti anghel ni Yahweh ti murdong ti sarukod nga iggemna. Babaen iti daytoy, sinagidna ti lasag ken ti tinapay nga awan lebadurana; rimmuar ti apuy manipud iti bato ket pinuoranna ti karne ken ti tinapay nga awan lebadurana. Kalpasanna, pimmanaw ti anghel ni Yahweh ket saanen a makita ni Gideon isuna.
22 And Gedeon seeing that it was the angel of the Lord, said: Alas, my Lord God: for I have seen the angel of the Lord face to face.
Naamiris ni Gideon a daytoy ti anghel ni Yahweh. Kinuna ni Gideon, “O, Yahweh nga Apo! Ta nakitak ti anghel ni Yahweh iti rupanrupa!”
23 And the Lord said to him: Peace be with thee: fear not, thou shalt not die.
Kinuna ni Yahweh kenkuana, “Kappia kenka! Saanka nga agbuteng, saanka a matay.”
24 And Gedeon built there an altar to the Lord, and called it the Lord’s peace, until this present day. And when he was yet in Ephra, which is of the family of Ezri,
Nangipatakder ngarud ni Gideon iti altar sadiay para kenni Yahweh. Inawaganna daytoy iti, ni Yahweh ket Talna. Agingga kadagitoy nga aldaw, nakatakder pay laeng daytoy idiay Ofra iti puli ti Abi Ezer.
25 That night the Lord said to him: Take a bullock of thy father’s, and another bullock of seven years, and thou shalt destroy the altar of Baal, which is thy father’s: and cut down the grove that is about the altar:
Iti dayta a rabii, kinuna ni Yahweh kenkuana, “Alaem ti bulog a baka ti amam, ken ti maikadua a bulog a baka nga agtawen iti pito, ket rebbaem ti altar ni Baal a kukua ti amam, ken putdem ti Asera nga adda iti abayna daytoy.
26 And thou shalt build an altar to the Lord thy God in the top of this rock, whereupon thou didst lay the sacrifice before: and thou shalt take the second bullock, and shalt offer a holocaust upon a pile of the wood, which thou shalt cut down out of the grove.
Mangipatakderka iti altar ni Yahweh a Diosmo iti tuktok daytoy a lugar a pagkamangan, ken aramidem daytoy iti umno a wagas. Idatonmo ti maikadua a bulog a baka kas daton a maipuor amin, usarem ti kayo manipud iti Asera a pinutedmo.”
27 Then Gedeon taking ten men of his servants, did as the Lord had commanded him. But fearing his father’s house, and the men of that city, he would not do it by day, but did all by night.
Nangayab ngarud ni Gideon iti sangapulo kadagiti adipenna ket inaramidna kas imbaga ni Yahweh kenkuana. Ngem inaramidna daytoy iti rabii saan nga iti aldaw gapu ta mabuteng unay isuna iti sangkabalayan ti amana ken kadagiti tattao iti ili.
28 And when the men of that town were risen in the morning, they saw the altar of Baal destroyed, and the grove cut down, and the second bullock laid upon the altar, which then was built.
Kabigatanna, idi bimmangon dagiti tattao iti ili, narebban ti altar ni Baal, ken naputeden ti Asera nga adda iti abayna daytoy ket naidatonen ti maikadua a bulog a baka iti altar a naipatakder.
29 And they said one to another: Who hath done this? And when they inquired for the author of the fact, it was said: Gedeon the son of Joas did all this.
Kinuna dagiti tattao iti siudad iti tunggal maysa, “Siasino ti nangaramid iti daytoy?” Idi nakisaritada kadagiti dadduma ken nangsapulda iti sungbat, kinunada, “Ni Gideon a putot a lalaki ni Joas ti nangaramid iti daytoy a banag.”
30 And they said to Joas: Bring out thy son hither, that he may die: because he hath destroyed the altar of Baal, and hath cut down his grove.
Ket kinuna dagiti tattao ti ili kenni Joas, “Iruarmo ti putotmo tapno mapapatay isuna, gapu ta rinebbana ti altar ni Baal, ken gapu ta pinutedna ti Asera nga adda iti abayna daytoy.”
31 He answered them: Are you the avengers of Baal, that you fight for him? he that is his adversary, let him die before tomorrow light appear: if he be a god, let him revenge himself on him that hath cast down his altar.
Kinuna ni Joas kadagiti amin a mangtubtubngar kenkuana, “Ipakaasiyo kadi ti napasamak kenni Baal? Isalakanyo kadi isuna? Siasinoman a mangipakaasi iti napasamak kenkuana, mapapatay koma kabayatan a nasapa pay. No maysa a dios ni Baal, ikanawana koma ti bagina no adda mangrebba iti altarna.”
32 From that day Gedeon was called Jerobaal, because Joss had said: Let Baal revenge himself on him that hath cast down his altar.
Iti dayta nga aldaw, napanaganan ngarud ni Gideon iti “Jerub Baal,” gapu ta kinunana, “Ikanawa koma ni Baal ti bagina maibusor kenkuana,” gapu ta rinebba ni Gideon ti altarna.
33 Now all Madian, and Amalec, and the eastern people were gathered together, and passing over the Jordan, camped in the valley of Jezrael.
Ita, nagmaymaysa a nagu-ummong dagiti Midianita, Amalekita, ken dagiti tattao iti daya. Binallasiwda ti Jordan ket nagkampoda idiay tanap ti Jezreel.
34 But the spirit of the Lord came upon Gedeon, and be sounded the trumpet and called together the house of Abiezer, to follow him.
Ngem kinaluban ti Espiritu ni Yahweh ni Gideon tapno tulunganna isuna. Pinaguni ni Gideon ti trumpeta, ay-ayabanna ti tribu ti Abi Ezer, tapno mabalin a sumurotda kenkuana.
35 And he sent messengers into all Manasses, and they also followed him: and other messengers into Aser and Zabulon and Nephtali, and they came to meet him.
Nangibaon isuna kadagiti mensahero a mapan iti entero a Manases, ket naayabanda met a sumurot kenkuana. Nangibaon met isuna kadagiti mensahero iti Aser, Zabulon, ken Neftali, ket simmang-atda a sumabat kenkuana.
36 And Gedeon said to God: If thou wilt save Israel by my hand, as thou hast said,
Kinuna ni Gideon iti Dios, “No gandatmo iti mangusar kaniak a mangisalakan iti Israel a kas iti kinunam—
37 I will put this fleece of wool on the floor: if there be dew on the fleece only, and it be dry on all the ground beside, I, shall know that by my hand, as thou hast said, thou wilt deliver Israel.
Kitaem, mangikabilak iti dutdot iti pagir-irikan. No addanto laeng linnaaw iti dutdot ket namaga ti amin a daga, ket maammoakto nga usarennak a mangisalakan iti Israel a kas iti kinunam.”
38 And it was so. And rising before day wringing the fleece, he filled a vessel with the dew.
Daytoy ti napasamak— nasapa a bimmangon ni Gideon iti simmaruno a bigat, inummongna ti dutdot ket pinepesna ti linnaaw manipud iti dutdot, umanay a nangpunno iti maysa a mallukong.
39 And he said again to God: let not thy wrath be kindled against me if I try once more, seeking a sign in the fleece. I pray that the fleece only may be dry, and all the ground wet with dew.
Kalpasanna, kinuna ni Gideon iti Dios, “Saanka a makaunget kaniak, agsao-ak pay iti maminsan. Pangaasim ta palubosam iti maysa pay a pammaneknek kaniak babaen iti dutdot. Iti daytoy a tiempo, pagbalinem a namaga ti dutdot, ken maadda koma ti linnaaw iti amin a daga iti aglawlawna daytoy.”
40 And God did that night as he had requested: and it was dry on the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.
Inaramid ti Dios ti dinawatna iti dayta a rabii. Namaga ti dutdot, ken adda linnaaw iti amin a daga iti aglawlawna.
