< Judges 7 >

1 Then Jerobaal, who is the same as Gedeon, rising up early and all the people with him, came to the fountain that is called Harad. Now the camp of Madian was in the valley on the north side of the high hill.
Ní òwúrọ̀ kùtùkùtù Jerubbaali (èyí ni Gideoni) pẹ̀lú gbogbo àwọn ọmọ-ogun tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ kó ogun jọ lẹ́bàá a orísun Harodi. Àwọn ogun Midiani sì wà ní apá àríwá tí wọ́n ní àfonífojì tí ó wà ní ẹ̀bá òkè More.
2 And the Lord said to Gedeon: The people that are with thee are many, and Madian shall not be delivered into their hands: lest Israel should glory against me, and say: I was delivered by my own strength.
Olúwa wí fún Gideoni pé, “Àwọn ọmọ-ogun tí o kójọ sọ́dọ̀ ti pọ̀jù fún mi láti fi àwọn ogun Midiani lé wọn lọ́wọ́, kí Israẹli má ba à gbé ara rẹ̀ ga sí mi wí pé agbára òun ni ó gbà á là,
3 Speak to the people, and proclaim in the hearing of all, I Whosoever is fearful and timorous, let him return. So two and twenty thousand men went away from mount Galaad and returned home, and only ten thousand remained.
sì kéde sí àwọn ènìyàn nísinsin yìí pé, ‘Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá ń gbọ̀n, tí ó sì ń bẹ̀rù lè padà sẹ́yìn, kí ó sì kúrò lórí òkè Gileadi.’” Báyìí ni Gideoni ṣe ya àwọn ènìyàn náà. Ẹgbẹ̀rún méjìlélógún ọkùnrin sì padà sẹ́yìn àwọn ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́wàá sì dúró.
4 And the Lord said to Gedeon: The people are still too many, bring them to the waters, and there I will try them: and of whom I shall say to thee, This shall go with thee, let him go: whom I shall forbid to go, let him return.
Olúwa sì tún sọ fún Gideoni pé, “Àwọn ènìyàn yìí sì tún pọ̀jù. Kó wọn lọ sí ibi tí omi wà, èmi yóò sì yọ̀rọ̀ wọn níbẹ̀ fún ọ. Bí mo bá wí pé eléyìí yóò bá ọ lọ yóò lọ, ṣùgbọ́n tí mo bá sọ pé, ‘Eléyìí kò ní bá ọ lọ,’ òun kò gbọdọ̀ lọ.”
5 And when the people were come down to the waters, the Lord said to Gedeon: They that shall lap the water with their tongues, as dogs are wont to lap, thou shalt set apart by themselves: but they that shall drink bowing down their knees, shall be on the other side.
Gideoni sì kó àwọn ọkùnrin náà lọ sí ibi ìsun omi. Níbẹ̀ ni Olúwa ti wí fún un pé, “Kí ó pín àwọn ènìyàn náà sí ọ̀nà méjì. Ya àwọn tí ó fi ahọ́n wọn lá omi bí ajá kúrò lára àwọn tí ó kúnlẹ̀ láti mu omi pẹ̀lú ọwọ́ wọn.”
6 And the number of them that had lapped water, casting it with the hand to their mouth, was three hundred men: and all the rest of the multitude had drunk kneeling.
Ọ̀ọ́dúnrún ọkùnrin ni ó lá omi pẹ̀lú ahọ́n wọn. Gbogbo àwọn ìyókù ni ó kúnlẹ̀ láti mu mi.
7 And the Lord said to Gedeon: By the three hundred men, that lapped water, I will save you, and deliver Madian into thy hand: but let all the rest of the people return to their place.
Olúwa wí fún Gideoni pé, “Àwọn ọ̀ọ́dúnrún ọkùnrin tí ó lá omi ni èmi yóò lò láti gbà yín là àti láti fi ogun Midiani lé yín lọ́wọ́. Jẹ́ kí àwọn tókù padà sí ilé wọn.”
8 So taking victuals and trumpets according to their number, he ordered all the rest of the multitude to depart to their tents: and he with the three hundred gave himself to the battle. Now the camp of Madian was beneath him in the valley.
Báyìí ni Gideoni ṣe dá àwọn Israẹli tí ó kù padà sí àgọ́ wọn, ṣùgbọ́n ó dá àwọn ọ̀ọ́dúnrún ọkùnrin náà dúró. Àwọn wọ̀nyí sì gba gbogbo ohun èlò àti fèrè àwọn tí ó ti padà. Ibùdó ogun àwọn Midiani wà ní àfonífojì ní ìsàlẹ̀. Ibi tí ó wà.
9 The same night the Lord said to him: Arise, and go down into the camp: because I have delivered them into thy hand.
Ní òru ọjọ́ náà Olúwa sọ fún Gideoni pé, “Dìde, dojú ogun kọ ibùdó ogun àwọn ará Midiani nítorí èmi yóò fi lé ọ lọ́wọ́.
10 But if thou be afraid to go alone, let Phara thy servant go down with thee.
Ṣùgbọ́n bí ẹ̀rù àti kọlù wọ́n bá ń bà ọ́, yọ́ wọ ibùdó wọn lọ kí o mú Pura ìránṣẹ́ rẹ lọ́wọ́
11 And when thou shalt hear what they are saying, then shall thy hands be strengthened, and thou shalt go down more secure to the enemies’ camp. And he went down with Phara his servant into part of the camp, where was the watch of men in arms.
kí o sì fi ara balẹ̀ gbọ́ ohun tí wọ́n ń sọ nínú ibùdó náà. Lẹ́yìn èyí ọkàn rẹ̀ yóò le láti kọlù ibùdó náà.” Báyìí ni òun àti Pura ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ wọ ẹnu-ọ̀nà ibùdó yìí.
12 But Madian and Amalec, and all the eastern people lay scattered in the valley, as a multitude of locusts: their camels also were innumerable as the sand that lieth on the sea shore.
Àwọn ará Midiani, àwọn ará Amaleki àti gbogbo ènìyàn ìlà-oòrùn tó lọ ní àfonífojì bí eṣú ni wọ́n rí nítorí púpọ̀ wọn. Àwọn ìbákasẹ wọn kò sì lóǹkà, wọ́n sì pọ̀ bí yanrìn inú Òkun.
13 And when Gedeon was come, one told his neighbour a dream: and in this manner related what he had seen: I dreamt a dream, and it seemed to me as if a hearth cake of barley bread rolled and came down into the camp of Madian: and when it was come to a tent it struck it, and beat it down flat to the ground.
Gideoni dé sí àsìkò tí ọkùnrin kan bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í rọ́ àlá tí ó lá sí ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ̀. Ó ní, “Mo lá àlá kan, nínú àlá náà mo rí àkàrà kan tó ṣe róbótó tí a fi barle ṣe ń yí wọ inú ibùdó àwọn ará Midiani, ó sì kọlu àgọ́ pẹ̀lú agbára ńlá dé bi wí pé àgọ́ náà dojúdé, ó sì ṣubú.”
14 He to whom he spoke, answered: This is nothing else but the sword of Gedeon the son of Joas a man of Israel. For the Lord hath delivered Madian, and all their camp into his hand.
Ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ̀ dá a lóhùn pé, “Èyí kò le túmọ̀ sí ohun mìíràn ju idà Gideoni ọmọ Joaṣi ará Israẹli lọ: Ọlọ́run ti fi àwọn ará Midiani àti gbogbo ogun ibùdó lé e lọ́wọ́.”
15 And when Gedeon had heard the dream, and the interpretation thereof, he adored: and returned to the camp of Israel, and said: Arise, for the Lord hath delivered the camp of Madian into our hands.
Nígbà tí Gideoni gbọ́ àlá náà àti ìtumọ̀ rẹ̀, ó wólẹ̀ sin Ọlọ́run: lẹ́yìn náà ni ó padà sí ibùdó àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ó sì pè wọ́n pé, “Ẹ dìde! Nítorí pé Olúwa yóò lò yín láti ṣẹ́gun gbogbo ogun Midiani.”
16 And he divided the three hundred men into three parts, and gave them trumpets in their hands, and empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers.
Nígbà tí ó ti pín àwọn ọ̀ọ́dúnrún ọkùnrin wọ̀n-ọn-nì sí ọ̀nà mẹ́ta, ó fi fèrè, pẹ̀lú àwọn òfìfo ìkòkò lé ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan wọn lọ́wọ́, iná sì wà nínú àwọn ìkòkò náà.
17 And he said to them: What you shall see me do, do you the same: I will go into one part of the camp, and do you as I shall do.
Ó sọ fún wọn pé, “Ẹ máa wò mí, kí ẹ sì máa ṣe ohun tí mo bá ṣe. Nígbà tí mo bá dé igun ibùdó wọn ẹ ṣe ohun tí mo bá ṣe.
18 When the trumpet shall sound in my hand, do you also blow the trumpets on every side of the camp.
Nígbà tí èmi àti àwọn ọkùnrin tí ó wà pẹ̀lú mi bá fun fèrè wa, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí ẹ̀yin náà ni gbogbo igun ibùdó tí ẹ̀ bá wà kí ẹ fun àwọn fèrè yín kí ẹ sì hó pé, ‘Fún Olúwa àti fún Gideoni.’”
19 And Gedeon, and the three hundred men that were with him, went into part of the camp, at the beginning of the midnight watch, and the watchmen being alarmed, they began to sound their trumpets, and to clap the pitchers one against another.
Gideoni àti àwọn ọgọ́rùn-ún ọkùnrin tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ dé òpin ibùdó àwọn ará Midiani ní nǹkan bí agogo méjìlá padà. Wọ́n fun fèrè wọn, wọ́n sì tún fọ́ àwọn ìkòkò tí ó wà ní ọwọ́ mọ́lẹ̀.
20 And when they sounded their trumpets in three places round about the camp, and had broken their pitchers, they held their lamps in their left hands, and with their right hands the trumpets which they blew, and they cried out: The sword of the Lord and of Gedeon;
Àwọn ẹgbẹ́ mẹ́tẹ̀ẹ̀ta fun fèrè wọn, wọ́n tún fọ́ àwọn ìkòkò wọn mọ́lẹ̀. Wọ́n mú àwọn fìtílà iná wọn ní ọwọ́ òsì wọn àti fèrè tí wọ́n ń fun ní ọwọ́ ọ̀tún wọn. Wọ́n pariwo hé è pé, “Idà kan fún Olúwa àti fún Gideoni!”
21 Standing every man in his place round about the enemies’ camp. So all the camp was troubled, and crying out and howling they fled away.
Nígbà tí ọkùnrin kọ̀ọ̀kan dúró ní ipò rẹ̀ yí ibùdó àwọn Midiani ká, gbogbo àwọn ọmọ-ogun Midiani ń sá káàkiri, wọ́n ń pariwo bí wọ́n ṣe ń sálọ.
22 And the three hundred men nevertheless persisted sounding the trumpets. And the Lord sent the sword into all the camp, and they killed one another,
Nígbà tí àwọn ọ̀ọ́dúnrún ọkùnrin wọ̀n-ọn-nì fun fèrè wọn, Olúwa sì yí ojú idà ọkùnrin kọ̀ọ̀kan padà sí ẹnìkejì rẹ̀ àti sí gbogbo ogun wọn. Àwọn ọmọ-ogun sì sá títí dé Beti-Sitta ní ọ̀nà Serera títí lọ dé ìpínlẹ̀ Abeli-Mehola ní ẹ̀bá Tabbati.
23 Fleeing as far as Bethsetta, and the border of Abelmahula in Tebbath. But the men of Israel shouting from Nephtali and Aser, and from all Manasses pursued after Madian.
Gbogbo àwọn ọmọ-ogun Israẹli láti ẹ̀yà Naftali, Aṣeri àti gbogbo Manase ni Gideoni ránṣẹ́ si, wọ́n wá wọ́n sì lé àwọn ará Midiani.
24 And Gedeon sent messengers into all mount Ephraim, saying: Come down to meet Madian, and take the waters before them to Bethbera and the Jordan. And all Ephraim shouted, and took the waters before them and the Jordan as far as Bethbera.
Gideoni tún ránṣẹ́ sí gbogbo àwọn ìlú tí ó wà ní orí òkè Efraimu wí pé, “Ẹ jáde wá bá àwọn ará Midiani jà, kí ẹ tètè gba àwọn omi Jordani títí dé Beti-Bara kí wọ́n tó dé bẹ̀.” Báyìí ni a ṣe pe gbogbo ọkùnrin ológun Efraimu jáde tí wọ́n sì gba gbogbo àwọn à bá wọ odò Jordani títí dé Beti-Bara.
25 And having taken two men of Madian, Oreb and Zeb: Oreb they slew in the rock of Oreb, and Zeb in the winepress of Zeb. And they pursued Madian, carrying the heads of Oreb and Zeb to Gedeon beyond the waters of the Jordan.
Wọ́n mú méjì nínú àwọn olórí àwọn ará Midiani, àwọn náà ni Orebu àti Seebu. Wọ́n pa Horebu nínú àpáta Orebu, wọ́n sì pa Seebu níbi tí àwọn ènìyàn ti mọ̀ fún wáìnì tí a ń pè ní ìfúntí Seebu.
