Judges 8
1 Then the men of Ephraim asked Gideon, “Why have you treated us like this? Why didn't you call us when you went to attack the Midianite?” They argued furiously with him.
Amalalu, Ifala: ime fi dunu da Gidionema amane sia: i, “Di da Midia: ne fi ilima gegemusa: ahoanoba, abuliba: le nini misa: ne hame wele sia: bela: ? Abuliba: le nini se nabima: ne agoane hamobela: ?” Ilia da da: i dione egai.
2 “Now what have I achieved in comparison to you?” Gideon replied. “Even Ephraim's left-over grapes are better than Abiezer's whole grape harvest!
Be Gidione da ilima bu adole i, “Mae dawa: ma! Dilia hamoi hou da na hamoi bagade baligisa. Dilia fidisu da na fi dunu huluane ilia fidisu amo bagade baligisa.
3 God handed over to you Oreb and Zeeb, the two Midianite commanders. What have I managed to achieve in comparison to you?” When he told them this their animosity towards him died down.
Dilia Gode Ea gasa lai dagoiba: le, Midia: ne ouligisu dunu aduna amo Oulebe amola Siebe fane legei dagoi. Na da dilia gasa bagade hou defele hamomu hamedei agoane ba: i.” E da amo sia: beba: le, Ifala: ime dunu ilia ougi bu gumi ba: i.
4 Then Gideon crossed the Jordan with his three hundred men. Even though they were exhausted they continued the chase.
Gidione amola ea dadi gagui (ilia idi da 300) da Yodane Hano amoga doaga: le degei dagoi. Ilia da bagade helei ba: i, be mae fisili ilia ha lai dunu sefasilalu.
5 When they got to Succoth, Gideon asked the people there, “Please provide some bread to the men with me because they're worn out—I'm pursuing Zebah and Zalmunna, the Midianite kings.”
Ilia da Sagode moilaiga doaga: loba, Gidione da Sagode dunu ilima amane sia: i, “Ha: i manu ninima ima. Na dunu da bagade helebe. Na da Midia: ne fi hina bagade dunu aduna amo Siba amola Sa: lamana sefasilala.”
6 But the Succoth town leaders replied, “Why should we give your army bread when you haven't even captured Zebah and Zalmunna yet?”
Be Sagode moilai ouligisu dunu da Gidionema bu adole i, “Ninia abuliba: le dia dadi gagui dunuma ha: i manu ima: bela: ? Di da wali Siba amola Sa: lamana hame gagui.”
7 “In that case, once the Lord has handed Zebah and Zalmunna over to me, I'll return and thrash you with thorns and briers from the desert!” Gideon replied.
Amaiba: le, Gidione da amane sia: i, “Defea! Hina Gode da na fidimuba: le, na da Siba amola Sa: lamana gagumu. Amasea, na da dili aya: gaga: nomei hafoga: i sogega lai amoga famu.”
8 He left and went to Penuel and asked them the same thing, but the people of Penuel answered the same way as the people of Succoth.
Gidione da bu asili, Beniuele moilaiga doaga: i. E da Sagode moilai dunu amoga edegei defele Beniuele dunuma adole ba: i. Be Beniuele dunu da Sagode dunu ilia hou defele, ha: i manu hame imunu sia: i.
9 So he told them, “When I return victorious, I'll demolish this tower!”
Amaiba: le, Gidione da ilima amane sia: i, “Defea! Na da na ha lai ili hasalasili, hahawane bu misunu. Amalalu, na da dilia diasu gado gagagula heda: i amo mugulumu.”
10 Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor with their armies of around fifteen thousand men. These were all who remained of the armies of the people of the East—one hundred and twenty thousand swordsmen had already been killed.
Siba amola Sa: lamana elea dadi gagui dunu huluane da Gago moilai bai bagadega gilisibi ba: i. Amo esoga, ilia hafoga: i soge dadi gagui dunu idi da 15,000 fawane ba: i. Eno dadi gagui dunu amo 120,000 da medole legei dagoi ba: i.
11 Gideon took the caravan route to the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and he attacked their army, catching them offguard.
Gidione da logo amo hafoga: i soge bega: Nouba moilai amola Yogebiha moilaiga eso mabadi la: ididili dialu, amo logoga asi. E da hedolowane Siba amola Sa: lamana ilia dadi gagui wa: i ilima doagala: le, ilia da fofogadigi.
12 Zebah and Zalmunna ran away, but he chased after the two Midianite kings and captured them, defeating the whole of their terrified army.
Midia: ne hina bagade dunu aduna amo Siba amola Sa: lamana da hobea: i. Be Gidione da elama doagala: le bobogele, ela gagulaligi. Amalalu, ela dadi gagui dunu huluane da beda: iba: le, hobea: i
13 Then Gideon, son of Joash, returned from the battle through the Heres Pass.
Gidione da hasaliba: le, bu misini, Helese fago ahoasu amoga asili,
14 There he captured a young man from Succoth and questioned him. The man wrote down for him the names of the seventy-seven leaders and elders of Succoth.
e da Sagode moilai goi amo gaguli, ema ea fi dunu ilia hou adole ba: i. Amo goi da Sagode moilai ouligisu dunu bagade 77amo ilia dio dedei.
15 Gideon went and said to the Sukkoth town leaders, “Here are Zebah and Zalmunna, the ones you taunted me about when you said, ‘Why should we give your exhausted army bread when you haven't even captured Zebah and Zalmunna yet?’”
Amalalu, Gidione da Sagode dunu ilima asili, amane sia: i, “Siba amola Sa: lamana da goea. Na da amo dunu hame gaguiba: le, dilia da na dadi gagui dunu hele nababe, ilima ha: i manu imunu higa: i.”
16 So he took the town elders of Succoth and taught them a lesson using thorns and briers from the desert.
Amalalu e da hafoga: i soge aya: gaga: nomei liligi lale, amoga Sagode ouligisu dunu se ima: ne fasu.
17 He also demolished the tower of Peniel and killed the men of the town.
Amola e da diasu gagagula gado heda: i, Beniuele moilaiga mugululi amola Beniuele dunu medole legei dagoi.
18 Then Gideon asked Zebah and Zalmunna, “What were they like, the men you killed at Tabor?” “They looked like you,” they answered. “Each of them had the stature of a prince.”
Amalalu, Gidione da Siba amola Sa: lamana elama amane adole ba: i, “Alia da Da: ibo moilaiga dunu medole legei. Alia da nowa dunu medole legebela: ?” Ela bu adole i, “Ilia da di agoane ba: i. Huluane da hina bagade ea mano defele agoane ba: i.”
19 “Those were my brothers, my mother's sons,” Gideon burst out. “As the Lord lives, if you had let them live, I wouldn't kill you!”
Gidione da amane sia: i, “Ilia da nolalalia galu, na: medafa ea mano. Na da dafawane sia: sa. Alia da amo hame medole legei ganiaba, na da ali amola hame medole legela: loba.”
20 He told Jether, his oldest son, “Go on, kill them!” But the boy refused to draw his sword, because he was young and afraid.
Amalalu, e da ea magobo mano ea dio amo Yeda, amoma amane sia: i, “Defea! Dia ela medole legema!” Be amo goi da ea gegesu gobihei bagade hame duga: le gagui. E da hame asigilaiba: le, beda: i.
21 Zebah and Zalmunna said to Gideon, “Come on, you do it! Show yourself a man and kill us!” So Gideon went over and killed Zebah and Zalmunna, and he took the crescent-shaped ornaments from the necks of their camels.
Amalalu, Siba amola Sa: lamana da Gidionema amane sia: i, “Defea! Disu ani medole legema. Dunudafa da dunudafa ea hawa: hamosu hamomu da defea.” Amaiba: le, Gidione da Siba amola Sa: lamana medole legei dagoi. E da liligi noga: i amo ela ga: mele ilia galogoa amoga gisa: gisi dialu amo lai dagoi.
22 Then the Israelites said to Gideon, “You must become our ruler, you, your son, and your grandson; because you've saved us from the Midianites.”
Amalalu, Isala: ili dunu huluane da Gidionema amane sia: i, “Di amola hobea digaga fi da ninima ouligisuwane esalumu da defea. Di da nini amo Midia: ne dunu iliga gaga: i dagoi.”
23 “I won't be your ruler, and my son won't either,” Gideon replied. “The Lord will be your ruler.”
Be Gidione da bu adole i, “Na da dilima ouligisuwane hame esalumu. Amola nagofe da dilima ouligisuwane hame esalumu. Be Hina Gode Hi fawane da dilima Hina ba: mu.”
24 Then Gideon said, “I have a request to ask of you: that each of you give me an earring from your plunder.” (Their enemies were Ishmaelites and wore gold earrings.)
E da eno amane sia: i “Na da dilima afae fawane edegesa. Dilia gedu bagedigi Midia: ne dunu ilima lai, amo huluane nama ima.” (Midia: ne dunu da hafoga: i soge dunu fi huluane defele gouli gedu bagedigili salasu.)
25 “We'll happily give them to you,” they replied. They spread out a cloak, and each of them threw on it earrings from their plunder.
Dunu huluane da bu adole i, “Ninia da hahawane amo liligi dima imunuyo.” Ilia da abula ligisili, dunu huluane da amo da: iya geabagedigisu ilia lai ligisi.
26 The weight of the earrings he'd asked for was 1,700 shekels, not including the ornaments, the pendants, and the purple garments worn by the Midianite kings or the chains that were round their camels' necks.
Gidione da gouli gedu bagedigi lai dagoi. Ilia dioi defei da 210 gilogala: me gadenene doaga: i. Ilia da eno liligi Gidionema i, amo bagedigi, gisa: gini sali amola ogaya: i abula musa: Midia: ne hina bagade dunu da gasi salasu amola gehea: la ilia da ga: mele ea galogoa ga: si.
27 From the gold Gideon made an ephod, which he placed in his hometown of Ophrah. All Israel prostituted themselves there by worshiping it as an idol, and it became a trap to Gideon and his family.
Gidione da amo gouli lale, ogogosu ‘gode’ agoaila loboga hamone, ea moilaidafa Ofala amo ganodini bugisi. Isala: ili dunu huluane iliawa da Gode fisili, Ofala moilai bai bagadega amo loboga hamoi liligima sia: ne gadomusa: asi. Amo liligi da Gidione amola ea sosogo fi ilima sani agoane ba: i.
28 This is how the Midianites was subjugated before the Israelites and did not gain power again. So the land was at peace for forty years during the lifetime of Gideon.
Amaiba: le, Isala: ili dunu da Midia: ne dunu ili hasalasi amola fa: no Midia: ne dunu da gasa hame ba: i. Amalalu, ode 40 eno amoga, Isala: ili dunu da olofosu ba: i. Amo ode 40 gidigili, Gidione da bogoi dagoi.
29 Jerub-baal, son of Joash, went home, living his own house.
Gidione da hina: moilaidafa amoga buhagili esalu.
30 Gideon had seventy sons, all his own, because he had many wives.
E da uda bagohame lale, dunu mano 70agoane lalelegei.
31 His concubine, who lived in Shechem, also had a son. He named him Abimelech.
E da uda eno lai. Amo da gidisedagi uda e da Siegeme moilaiga lai. Amo uda da dunu mano lalelegei. Gidione da amo manoma Abimelege dio asuli.
32 Gideon, son of Joash, died at a good old age and was buried in the tomb of his father Joash, in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
Gidione (Youa: se egefe) da ode bagohame gidigili bogoi. Ilia da ea da: i hodo amo ea eda Youa: se ea bogoi uli dogosu Ofala moilai bai bagade (Abiese fi ilia moilai) amoga dialu, amo ganodini sali.
33 But as soon as Gideon died, the Israelites went back to prostituting themselves, worshiping before the Baals. They made Baal-berith their god.
Gidione da bogoloba, Isala: ili dunu ilia da bu Gode fisili, Ba: ile ema nodone sia: ne gadoi. Ilia da ema ‘Ba: ile da Gousa: su Hamoi’ dio asuli, amola e da ilia ‘gode’dafa ilia da sia: su.
34 They forgot about the Lord their God, who had saved them from all their enemies that surrounded them.
Ilia Hina Godedafa da ilima sisiga: i ha lai dunu ilima gaga: i dagoi. Be amo mae dawa: le, ilia da Hina Godema hawa: hamosu yolesi dagoi.
35 They did not show any respect to the family of Jerub-baal (Gideon) for all the good he had done for Israel.
Amola Gidione da Isala: ili dunu fidima: ne, hawa: hamosu ida: iwane hamoi. Be ilia da Gidione ea sosogo fi ilima hame nodoi.
