Judges 6
1 The Israelites did what was evil in the Lord's sight. So the Lord handed them over to the Midianites for seven years.
Isala: ili dunu ilia da Hina Godema bu wadela: le hamoi. Amaiba: le, E da Midia: ne dunu ilia Isala: ili dunu ode fesuale amoga wadela: lesima: ne logo doasi dagoi.
2 The Midianite oppression was so great that because of them the Israelites made themselves hiding places in mountains, caves, and fortifications.
Midia: ne fi dunu ilia gasa da Isala: ili fi ilia gasa baligi. Amaiba: le, Isala: ili fi dunu da magufu gelabo amola eno wamoaligisu sogebi agolo ganodini amoga wamoaligisu.
3 Whenever the Israelites planted their crops, the Midianites, Amalekites, and other peoples from the east would come and attack them.
Eso huluane, Isala: ili fi dunu da hawa: sagaloba, Midia: ne fi dunu, A:malege fi dunu amola eno hafoga: i sogega fi dunu da gilisili ilima doagala: le gegesu.
4 They would set up their camps and destroy the country's crops as far away as Gaza. They didn't leave anything to eat in the whole of Israel, and they took for themselves all the sheep, cattle, and donkeys.
Ilia da hou agoane hamosu. Ilia da Isala: ili soge amoga fisisu. Amalalu, ilia da Isala: ili dunu ilia sagai amo fana asili, gugaga asili, Ga: isa moilaiga doaga: su. Ilia da Isala: ili dunu ilia sibi, bulamagau amola dougi wamolalusu. Amaiba: le, Isala: ili dunu da liligi hamedene esalusu.
5 They arrived in huge numbers with their livestock and tents like swarms of locusts, with so many camels they couldn't be counted. They invaded the land to completely devastate it.
Midia: ne dunu bagohame ilia idi da danuba: wa: i defele ba: i, ilia da Isala: ili soge amoga ilia ohe fi oule misini, ilia abula diasu gagusu. Ilia amola ilia ga: mele da idimu hamedeiwane ba: i. Ilia da misini, soge huluane wadela: lesisu.
6 The Israelites were made desperately poor by the Midianites and they called out to the Lord for help.
Isala: ili dunu da gasa hameba: le, ilia logo hedofamusa: gasa bagade ba: i.
7 When the Israelites cried out to the Lord for help because of the Midianites,
Amalalu, Isala: ili dunu da se nababeba: le, Hina Godema wele sia: i. Ilia da Gode Ea fidima: ne, Midia: ne dunu ilia logo hedofama: ne wele sia: i.
8 the Lord sent the Israelites a prophet. He told them, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘I brought you out of Egypt; I led you out from the place where you were slaves.
Hina Gode da ilima balofede dunu asunasi. Balofede dunu e da ilima amane sia: i, “Isala: ili fi dunu ilia Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, ‘Dilia da hemonega Idibidi soge ganodini udigili lobo lala: gi agoai hawa: hamonanu. Be Na da dili fisili masa: ne gadili oule asi.
9 I saved you from the power of the Egyptians and from everyone who oppressed you. I expelled them before you and gave their land to you.
Idibidi dunu da dili mae wadela: ma: ne, Na da dili gaga: i. Amola Ga: ina: ne sogega fi dunu da dili mae wadela: ma: ne, Na da dili gaga: i. Dilia da gusuba: i heda: loba, Na da amo dunu sefasisu. Amola Na da ilia soge amo dilima i dagoi.
10 I warned you: I am the Lord your God. You must not worship the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you're now living.’ But you didn't listen to me.”
Na da dilia Hina Godedafa, amo Na da dilima olelei. Amola dilia da A: moulaide dunu, (dilia wali ilia soge ganodini esala) amo ilia ogogosu ‘gode’ liligi ilima mae sia: ne gadoma: ne, Na da sia: i dagoi. Be dilia da Na sia: hame nabi.’”
11 The angel of the Lord came and sat under the oak tree in Ophrah that belonged to Joash the Abiezrite. His son Gideon was threshing wheat in a winepress there to hide it from the Midianites.
Amalalu, Hina Gode Ea a: igele dunu da Ofala moilai bai bagadega misini, “ouge” ifa amo ea ougiha esalu. Amo ifa da Youa: se (A: ibisa fi dunu) amo ea ifa falifai galu. Youa: se egefe Gidione da Midia: ne dunu ilia ba: sa: besa: le, wamowane widi ha: i manu gisi amo afafama: ne, waini hano hamosu diasu amo ganodini widi gisi dabalebe ba: i.
12 The angel of the Lord appeared to him and said, “The Lord is with you, great man of courage!”
Hina Gode Ea a: igele dunu da ema misini, amane sia: i, “Gasa bagade nimi dunu! Hina Gode da ali esala.”
13 “Excuse me, my lord, but if the Lord is with us, why has all this happened to us?” Gideon replied. “Where are all his wonderful miracles that our forefathers reminded us about when they said, ‘Wasn't it the Lord who led us out of Egypt?’ But now the Lord has given up on us and has handed us over to the Midianites.”
Gidione da bu adole i, “Na da dima adole ba: mu gala. Hina Gode da nini esala, di da sia: sa. Amaiba: le amo se nabasu da abuliba: le ninima doaga: bela: ? Ninia ada ilia da Hina Gode Ea gasa bagade hou amo ninima olelei. E da Idibidi sogega nini fisili masa: ne gadili asunasi. Be wali Hina Gode da Midia: ne dunu nini wadela: lesima: ne, fisi dagoi.”
14 The Lord turned to him and said, “Go in the strength that you have and save Israel from the Midianites. Aren't I the one sending you?”
Amalalu, Hina Gode da Gidione ea hamoma: ne, ema amane olelei, “Dina: gasaga masa! Midia: ne dunu ilia Isala: ili fi mae wadela: ma: ne, di gaga: ma! Na Nisu fawane, da di asunasisa.”
15 “Excuse me, my lord, but how can I save Israel?” Gideon replied. “My family is the least important of the tribe of Manasseh, and I am the least important person of that family!”
Gidione da bu adole i, “Na da habodane Isala: ili fi gaga: ma: bela: ? Na sosogo fi da Mana: se fi amo ganodini gogaya: i gala. Amola na da na sosogo fi amo ganodini bodogidafa.”
16 “I will be with you,” the Lord told him. “You will defeat the Midianites as if they were just one man.”
Hina Gode da ema bu adole i, “Na da di fidimuba: le, di da amo hamomusa: dawa: mu. Di da Midia: ne dunu huluane hasalili dagomu.”
17 “Please, Lord, if you think well of me, give me a sign that it's really you telling me this,” Gideon asked.
Gidione ea bu adole i, “Di da nama nodosa galea, na da Di dafawane Hina Gode esala, amo dawa: ma: ne, dawa: digisu hou amo nama olelema.
18 “Don't leave until I come back and present my offering to you.” “I will remain here until you return,” he replied.
Dafawane! Di da na mae yolesili ouleloma. Na da Dima gobele salasu ha: i manu gaguli misunu,” Gidione amane sia: i. Hina Gode Ea amane sia: i, “Na da di ouesalea, amogainini di bu misunu.”
19 Gideon went and cooked a young goat, and baked some unleavened bread from an ephah of flour. He put the meat in a basket and the broth in a pot. He carried them out and presented them to the angel under the oak tree.
Amaiba: le, Gidione da hi diasua golili sa: ili, goudi mano sefena afae fane, falaua ea dioi defei da10gilougala: me amo lale, yisidi mae legele, agi ga: gi hamoi. E da goudi hu dabaga salawane, gugu gasa: le, ofodo ganodini salawane, gaguli, Hina Gode a: igele dunu “ouge” ifa baiya lelebe amogili iasi.
20 The angel of God told him, “Place the meat and the unleavened bread on this rock and pour the broth over them.” So Gideon did.
A: igele dunu da Gidionema amane sia: i, “Hu amola agi ga: gi lale, igi goe da: iya ligisili, amo da: iya gugu soga: sima.” Gidione da amo defele hamoi dagoi.
21 The angel of the Lord held out the staff he was holding and touched the meat and unleavened bread with the tip. Fire flamed from the rock and burned up the meat and unleavened bread. Then the angel vanished.
Amalalu, Hina Gode Ea a: igele dunu da ea lobo ligiagale, galiamo ea lobo ganodini gagui, amo ea bidiga, e da hu amola agi ga: gi digilisi. Amalalu, lalu da igi da: iya wiligadole, hu amola agi ga: gi nene dagoi. Amalalu, a:igele dunu da asi, hame ba: i.
22 When Gideon realized that it was the angel of the Lord, he cried out, “Oh no, Lord God! I've seen the angel of the Lord face to face!”
Amaiba: le, Gidione hamugini ba: loba, amo da Hina Gode ea a: igele dunu dawa: i galu. Amola e da bagadewane fofogadigili, beda: ne amane sia: i, “Hina Gode Bagadedafa! Na da Dia a: igele dunu ea odagi amola na odagi migadenei ba: i.”
23 But the Lord told him, “Peace! Don't worry, you're not going to die.”
Hina Gode da ema amane sia: i, “Asaboma! Mae beda: ma! Di da hame bogomu.”
24 So Gideon built an altar to the Lord there and called it “The Lord is Peace.” It's still there today, in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
Gidione da Godema gobele salasu fafai (oloda) amogawi gagui. Amoga, e da amo dio asuli, “Hina Gode da Olofosudafa.” Amo fafai da wali Ofala moilai bai bagadega sagasi dana. (Ofala da A: ibisa fi dunu ilia moilai eno galu).
25 That night the Lord told Gideon, “Take your father's bull and a second bull seven years old, and tear down your father's altar of Baal, and cut down the Asherah pole beside it.
Amo gasia, Hina Gode da Gidionema amane sia: i, “Dia ada ea bulamagau gawali amola eno bulamagau gawali ode fesuale gala lela, amo lama. Dia ada ea gobele salasu fafai Ba: ilema sia: ne gadomusa: gagui, amo mugululi salima. Amola ogogosu ‘gode’ ifaga hahamoi uda Asila, amola Ba: ile, ela dafulili lelebe go abasalima.
26 Then build an altar to the Lord your God in the proper way on hilltop. Using the wood of the Asherah pole you cut down as firewood, take the second bull and present it as a burnt offering.”
Dia Hina Godema gobele salasu fafai noga: idafa, goe bi da: iya gaguma. Amalu bulamagau gawali ageyadu e lale, ea da: i hodo huluane gobele salima. Amo gobele salimusa: di Asila ifa abasali lalu amoga lale didili gobele salima.”
27 Gideon accompanied by ten of his servants did what the Lord had told him. However, because he was afraid of his family and the people of the town, he did it during the night rather than in the day.
Amaiba: le, Gidione ea hawa: hamosu dunu mogili, nabuane agoane lale, amola e da Hina Gode Ea ema adoi amo hamoi. E da ea sosogo fi amola ea moilai fi ilima beda: iba: le, yoga hamomu hamedei ba: i. Amaiba: le, e da gasia fawane hamoi.
28 Early in the morning when the people of the town got up, they saw that the altar of Baal had been torn down and the Asherah pole beside it had been cut down, with the second bull sacrificed on the altar that had just been built.
Moilai fi dunu da hahabedafa wa: legadole, ilia da gobele salasu fafai Ba: ilema sia: ne gadomusa: gagui, amola Asila ea ifa abasali dagoi ba: i. Amola bulamagau ageyadu amo da gobele salasu fafai (Gidione ea gagui liligi) amo da: iya gobele sali dagoi, ilia ba: i.
29 They asked one another, “Who did this?” They made inquiries and they were told, “Gideon, son of Joash, did it.”
Amalalu, ilia amane sia: i, “Nowa dunu da amo hou hamobela: ? Ilia amane lalabilaloba, Youa: se ea mano Gidione ea hamoi, ilia ba: i.
30 “Hand over your son,” the people of the town ordered Joash. “He must die, because he has torn down the altar of Baal and cut down the Asherah pole beside it.”
Amalalu, ilia da Youa: sema amane sia: i, “Diagofe ninia fane legemusa: guiguda: oule misa. E da Ba: ile gobele salasu fafai amo mugululi sali amola Asila hou dawa: ma: ne liligi amoga dafulili dialu amo abasali.”
31 Joash replied to all those confronting him, “Are you arguing on Baal's behalf? Do you have to save him? Anyone who argues for him will be put to death by morning! If he is a god let him fight for himself against those who tore down his altar.”
Be Youa: se da dunu huluane ilia da ema fofada: nanu, ilima amane sia: i, “Dilia da Ba: ile amoma gasala: ? Dilia amola e gaga: sala: ? Nowa da ema gale lela, amo da hahabe fane legei dagoi ba: mu. Ba: ile da Godedafa galea, defea, e da hisu hina: gaga: mu. Amo gobele salasu fafai mugululi sali da ea: liligi fawane, dilia: hame.”
32 That day Gideon was called Jerub-baal, which means “Let Baal fight with him,” because he had torn down his altar.
Amalalu, amohaga amola fa: no ilia da Gidione ea dio da Yeluba: ile, ilia da amane sia: dasu. Bai Youa: se da amane sia: i, “Ba: ile ea da hisu hina: gaga: mu da defea. Gobele salasu fafai mugululi sali da ea: liligi fawane.”
33 All the Midianites, Amalekites, and other peoples of the East gathered together and crossed over the Jordan. They camped in the Valley of Jezreel.
Amalalu, Midia: naide fi dunu, A:malege fi dunu amola hafoga: i sogega fi dunu huluane gilisili mogodigili asili, Yodane hano amo degele, Yeseliele fago amogai hawa: i fisu.
34 The Spirit of the Lord came on Gideon, and he blew the trumpet, calling Abiezrites to join him.
Hina Gode Ea A: silibu da Gidione amoma noga: le seselalu, A:ibisa sosogo fi dunu ilia ema fa: no bobogema: ne, Gidione da dalabede fulaboi.
35 He sent messengers through the whole territory of Manasseh, calling them to join him, and also to Asher, Zebulun and Naphtali, so they also came and joined the others.
E da sia: adola ahoasu dunu ilia Mana: se fi dunu da ema fa: no bobogema: ne, adole lama: ne asunasi. E da sia: adola ahoasu dunu A: sie, Sebiulane amola Na: fadalai amo fi dunu ilima adoma: ne asunasi. Amalu, ilia misini, ema madelai.
36 Gideon said to God, “If you will save Israel through me as you promised,
Amalalu, Gidione da Godema amane sia: i, “Dia da amane sia: ba: , Isala: ili fi gaga: ma: ne, Dia da nama fidisu imunu sia: i.
37 then look—I will put a fleece of wool on the threshing floor. If the fleece is wet with dew but the ground is dry, then I will know that you are going to save Israel through me as you promised.”
Defea! Na da sibi hinabo houga: i amo houga: i widi dabasu osobo da: iya amogai ligisimu. Be hahabe sibi hinabo houga: i da: iya oubi baeaga nanegai galea, be osobo da: iya da oubi baea hame ba: lalu, Isala: ili dunu fi amo na gaga: ma: ne, Dia da dafawane fidimusa: ilegei, amo na da dawa: mu.”
38 That's what happened. When Gideon got up early the next morning, he pressed on the fleece and squeezed out the dew, enough water to fill a bowl.
Goe da didili agoane hamoi ba: i. Golale hahabedafa Gidione da wa: legadole, e da ofodo lale ligisili, sibi hinabo houga: i amo lale, oubi baea sibi hinaboga nanegai dialu amo ofodo gelaba ganodini dugini sali. Ofodo da amo hanoga nabaidafa ba: i.
39 Then Gideon said to God, “Please don't get cross with me. Just let me make one more request. Let me do one more test with the fleece. This time let the fleece be dry and the whole ground covered with dew.”
Amalalu, Gidione da Hina Godema amane sia: i, “Hina Gode! Dia nama mae ougima. Na da adoba: su afadafa eno hamomu da defeala: ? Be ha afaega musa: agoane hamosea, sibi hinabo houga: i da hafoga: i amola osobo da nanegai agoane ba: mu da defea.”
40 That night God did exactly that. The fleece alone was dry and the whole ground was covered with dew.
Amo gasia Gode da amo liligi didiliwane hamoi. Golale hahabe, sibi hinabo houga: i da hafoga: i ba: i, be osobo da oubi baeaga nanegai dialebe ba: i.
