Judges 7
1 Jerub-baal (Gideon) and those who were with him got up early and went and camped by the Harod spring. The Midianite camp was to the north in the valley near the Moreh hill.
Kashegari da sassafe, Yerub-Ba’al (wato, Gideyon) da dukan mutanensa suka kafa sansani a maɓulɓulan Harod. Sansanin Midiyawa kuma yana arewa da su a kwari kusa da tudu na More.
2 The Lord told Gideon, “There are too many soldiers with you for me to hand over the Midianites to them, otherwise Israel will brag to me, saying, ‘I saved myself by my own strength.’
Sai Ubangiji ya ce wa Gideyon, “Mutanen da kake da su sun yi mini yawa da zan ba da Midiyawa a hannunsu. Don kada Isra’ila tă yi mini fahariya cewa ƙarfinta ne ya cece su,
3 So tell the soldiers, ‘Anyone who is worried or afraid can leave Mount Gilead and go back home.’” Twenty-two thousand of them went back home, but ten thousand stayed.
ka yi shela ga mutane yanzu cewa, ‘Duk wanda ya yi rawan jiki don tsoro, sai yă juya yă bar Dutsen Gileyad.’” Saboda haka mutum dubu ashirin da biyu suka koma, sai mutum dubu goma suka rage.
4 Then the Lord told Gideon, “There are still too many soldiers. Take them down to the water and I will reduce them for you. Whoever I tell you, ‘He shall go with you,’ he shall go. But anyone that I say, ‘He shall not go with you,’ he shall not go.”
Amma Ubangiji ya ce wa Gideyon, “Har yanzu mutanen sun yi yawa. Ka kai cikin ruwa, in kuma tankaɗe maka su a can. In na ce, ‘Wannan zai tafi da kai,’ to, zai tafi; amma in na ce, ‘Wannan ba zai tafi da kai ba,’ to, ba zai tafi ba.”
5 Gideon took the soldiers down to the water. The Lord told Gideon, “Set to one side those who lap the water with their tongues, like a dog does, and on the other side those who kneel down to drink.”
Saboda haka Gideyon ya kai mutanen cikin ruwa. A can Ubangiji ya ce masa, “Ka ware waɗanda suka tanɗi ruwa kamar kare daga waɗanda suka durƙusa suka sha ruwan.”
6 Three hundred lapped water from their hands to their mouths. All the rest knelt down to drink the water.
Mutum ɗari uku sun tanɗi ruwa, dukan sauran kuwa suka durƙusa suka sha ruwan.
7 The Lord told Gideon, “With these three hundred men that lapped I will save you and hand over the Midianites to you. Let all the rest of the soldiers go home.”
Sai Ubangiji ya ce wa Gideyon, “Da mutum ɗari uku ɗin nan da suka tanɗi ruwa, zan cece ka in kuma ba da Midiyawa a hannuwanku. Ka bar sauran mutane su tafi kowa zuwa wurinsa.”
8 The three hundred took over the supplies and trumpets of the others. Gideon sent all the rest home, but held onto the three hundred men. The Midianite camp was below him in the valley.
Saboda haka Gideyon ya mai da sauran Isra’ilawa zuwa tentinsu amma ya riƙe mutum ɗari uku waɗanda suka karɓi guzuri da ƙahonin sauran. To, sansanin Midiyawa yana ƙasa da su a kwarin.
9 That night the Lord spoke to Gideon, “Get up, go down and attack the camp, for I have handed it over to you.
A daren nan Ubangiji ya ce wa Gideyon, “Tashi ka tafi sansaninsu domin zan ba da su a hannuwanka.
10 But if you are afraid to go down, go with your servant Purah to the camp.
In kana tsoron fāɗa musu, sai ka tafi da bawanka Fura
11 You'll hear what they're talking about and then you'll have the courage to attack the camp.” So he took his servant Purah with him and went to the edge of the camp where armed men were on guard.
ka kuma saurari abin da suke faɗi. Bayan haka za ka sami ƙarfin hali ka auka musu.” Saboda haka sai ya tafi tare da Fura bawansa zuwa sansanin.
12 The Midianites, Amalekites, and all the peoples of the East filled the valley like a swarm of locusts, and as for their camels, they were as uncountable as the sand on the seashore.
Midiyawa, Amalekawa da dukan sauran mutane gabashi suka yi sansani a kwari, kamar fāra. Raƙumansu kuma kamar yashi a bakin teku don sun wuce ƙirge.
13 Just as Gideon arrived, a man was telling his friend about a dream he'd had. He was saying, “I had this dream. I dreamed I saw a round loaf of barley bread come rolling into the Midianite camp. It hit a tent, knocking it upside-down, flat on the ground!”
Gideyon ya iso daidai wani yana faɗa wa wani aboki mafarkinsa, yana cewa, “Na yi mafarki, na ga dunƙule burodin sha’ir ya fāɗo a tsakiyar sansanin Midiyawa. Ya bugi tentin da ƙarfin da ya sa tenti ta kife a ƙasa.”
14 “This can only represent the victory by the sword of Gideon, son of Joash, a man of Israel,” his friend answered. “God has handed over to him the Midianites and everyone else camped here.”
Abokinsa ya ce, “Ai wannan ba wani abu ba ne fiye da takobin Gideyon ɗan Yowash, mutumin Isra’ila. Allah ya ba da Midiyawa da dukan sansani a hannuwansa.”
15 When Gideon heard the dream and what it meant, he bowed in thanks to God. He went back to the Israelite camp and announced, “On your feet! For the Lord has handed over the Midianite camp to you!”
Da Gideyon ya ji mafarkin da fassararsa, sai ya yi wa Allah sujada. Ya koma sansanin Isra’ila ya yi kira da ƙarfi ya ce, “Ku tashi! Ubangiji ya ba da sansanin Midiyawa a hannuwanku.”
16 He divided the three hundred men into three companies. He handed them all trumpets, and empty jars with torches inside them.
Ya raba mutum ɗari uku ɗin kashi uku, ya ba kowannensu ƙaho da tulu da acibalbal a ciki.
17 “Watch me and follow my example,” he told them. “So when I get to the edge of the camp, do exactly what I do.
Ya ce musu, “Ku dube ni, ku bi abin da na yi. Sa’ad da na kai sansanin, ku yi daidai abin da na yi.
18 Immediately I and those with me blow the trumpets, then you blow your trumpets from all around the camp, and shout, ‘For the Lord and for Gideon!’”
Sa’ad da ni da dukan waɗanda suke tare da ni muka busa ƙahoninmu, to, ko’ina a kewayen sansanin sai ku busa naku ku kuma yi ihu, ku ce, ‘Don Ubangiji da kuma domin Gideyon.’”
19 Gideon and the hundred men who with him arrived at the edge of the camp around midnight, after the guards were changed. They blew their trumpets and smashed the jars they were holding.
Gideyon da mutum ɗari da suke tare da shi suka kai sansanin da tsakar dare bayan an sauya matsara. Suka busa ƙahoninsu, suka farfashe tulunansu da suke hannuwansu.
20 All three companies blew their trumpets and smashed their jars. They held the torches in their left hands and the trumpets in their right hands, and they shouted, “A sword for the Lord and for Gideon!”
Ƙungiyoyi uku ɗin nan suka busa ƙahonin, suka fasa tuluna. Suka ɗauki acibalbal a hannuwansu na hagu da ƙahonin busawa a hannuwansu na dama, sai suka yi ihu, “Takobi don Ubangiji da kuma don Gideyon!”
21 Each man stood in his place encircling the camp, and all the enemy soldiers ran around shouting—then they fled.
Yayinda kowannensu ya tsaya a inda yake kewaye da sansanin, dukan Midiyawa suka fito da gudu, suna kuka yayinda suke gudu.
22 When they blew the three hundred trumpets, the Lord made all the men in the camp attack one other with their swords. The enemy army fled to Beth-shittah near Zererah, all the way to the border of Abel Meholah near Tabbath.
Sa’ad da aka busa ƙahonin nan ɗari uku sai Ubangiji ya sa Midiyawa suka yi ta saran juna. Mayaƙan suka gudu zuwa Bet-Shitta wajen Zerera har zuwa yankin Abel-Mehola kusa da Tabbat.
23 The Israelite soldiers were summoned from Naphtali, Asher, and all of Manasseh, and they chased after the Midianites.
Aka kira dukan Isra’ilawa daga Naftali, Asher da dukan Manasse, suka kuwa fatattaki Midiyawa.
24 Gideon sent messengers through all the hill country of Ephraim saying, “Come and attack the Midianites, and take control of the Jordan fords ahead of them as far as Beth-barah.” So all the men of Ephraim were summoned, and they took control of the Jordan fords as far as Beth-barah.
Gideyon ya aiki manzanni zuwa dukan ƙasar tudu ta Efraim cewa, “Ku gangaro ku yaƙi Midiyawa ku ƙwace ruwan Urdun gaba da su har zuwa Bet-Bara.” Saboda haka aka kira dukan mutanen Efraim suka ƙwace ruwan Urdun har zuwa Bet-Bara.
25 They also captured Oreb and Zeeb, two of the Midianite commanders. They killed Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and Zeeb at the winepress of Zeeb. They continued chasing down the Midianites and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb back to Gideon who was on the other side of the Jordan.
Suka kuma kama shugabannin biyu na Midiyawa, Oreb da Zeyib suka kashe Oreb a dutsen Oreb, Zeyib kuma a wurin matsin ruwa inabin Zeyib. Suka fatattaki Midiyawa suka kawo kawunan Oreb da Zeba wurin Gideyon, wanda yake kusa da Urdun.
