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.
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 they were grievously oppressed by them. And they made themselves dens and eaves in the mountains, and strong holds to resist.
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 when Israel had sown, Madian and Amalec, and the rest of the eastern nations came up:
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 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.
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 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.
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 humbled exceedingly in the sight of Madian.
ac wangin ma mwet Israel ku in oru nu selos. Na mwet Israel elos wowoyak nu sin LEUM GOD tuh Elan kasrelos.
7 And he cried to the Lord desiring help against the Madianites.
Ke mwet Israel elos wowoyak nu sin LEUM GOD ke sripen mwet Midian inge,
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,
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 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.
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: 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.
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 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,
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 The angel of the Lord appeared to him, and said: The Lord is with thee, O most valiant of men.
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: 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Lord said to him: I will be with thee: and thou shalt cut off Madian 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 he said: If I have found grace before thee, give me a sign that it is thou that speakest to 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 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.
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 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.
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 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,
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 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.
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 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.
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 with 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 Lord’s peace, until this present day. And when he was yet in Ephra, which is of the family of Ezri,
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 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:
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 From that day Gedeon was called Jerobaal, because Joss had said: Let Baal revenge himself on him that hath cast down his altar.
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 Now all Madian, and Amalec, and the eastern people were gathered together, and passing over the Jordan, camped 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 But the spirit of the Lord came upon Gedeon, and be sounded the trumpet and called together the house of Abiezer, to follow 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 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.
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 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.
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 rising before day wringing the fleece, he filled a vessel with the dew.
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 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.
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 that night as he had requested: and it was dry on the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.
Ke fong sac God El oru oana. Ke lututang ah unen sheep sac pao na, a fin fohk uh sroksrok ke aunfong.
