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.

Anante Efraemi naga'mo'za Gidionina amanage hu'za antahige'naze, Nagafare amanahu kavukavara hurantane? Nahigenka esera hurantanketa Midieni vahe'enena hara ome osu'none? hu'za Gidioni'enena tusi fravazi'naze.

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!

Hianagi Gidioni'a amanage huno kenona huzmante'ne, Tamagrama hu'naza zama negeta, nagrama hu'noa zama kesazana, nagra naza hu'nofi keho? Efraemi naga'mo'zama krepi ragama otre'zama tagi vagarezamo knarera hu'nefi? Abiesa naga'mo'zama ontagi hozafinti ana maka krepi ragama tagi vagare'zamo knarera hu'neo?

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.

Anumzamo'a Midieni sondia kva netrena Orebine Zebanena tamazampi zanavrentegeta zanahe'naze. Nagra tamagrama hazazana osu'noe. Anagema hige'za frama vazinentazaretira kea tagane'naze.

4 Then Gideon crossed the Jordan with his three hundred men. Even though they were exhausted they continued the chase.

Hagi Gidioni'ene 300'a vahe'mo'zanena Jodani tina takahe'za zamasafera nehianagi, ha' vahezmia zamarotago hu'naze.

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.”

Hagi Sukoti kumate'ma ne-eno'a Gidioni'a amanage huno ana kumate kva vahetmina zamantahige'ne. Muse huramantoanki, Nagri'enema aza vahetamina bretia zaminke'za neho. Na'ankure zamagra tusi zamasafeku nehu'za, nagranena neazage'na nagra Midieni kini netre Zebane Zalmunakizni zanaratago hu'na neoe.

6 But the Succoth town leaders replied, “Why should we give your army bread when you haven't even captured Zebah and Zalmunna yet?”

Hianagi Sukoti kumate kva vahe'mo'za amanage hu'za kenona asmi'naze, Zebane Zalmunanema zanazeritesanketa sondia vaheka'a ne'zana zamigahune.

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.

Ana kema hazageno'a Gidioni'a anage hu'ne, Ra Anumzamo'ma Zebane Zalmunanema nazampi'ma znavrentenama zanahesu'na, ka'ma kopima nemanea ave'ave nofinu, sefura eme tami'na tamavufa eri hazrohazru hugahue.

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.

Hagi anantetira Penieli kumate marerino vuno ana hukna kege ana kumapi vahete ome hu'ne. Hianagi Sukoti kumate vahe'mo'zama hu'nazankna ke hu'naze.

9 So he told them, “When I return victorious, I'll demolish this tower!”

Hagi anagema hazageno'a Gidioni'a Penieli kumate vahera amanage huno zamasami'ne, nagrama ha'ma ome huzamagaterete'na esu'na, ama za'za nona eme tapage hutregahue.

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.

Hagi Seba'ene Zalmunakea 15 tauseni'a sondia vahe'ene Karkori kumapi ufre'naze. Hagi eri mago'ma hu'naza sondia vahe'ma zamahe hanama hige'zama mani'nazama'e. Na'ankure 120 tauseni'a kazinteti'ma ha'ma nehaza vahera ko zamahe 'naze.

11 Gideon took the caravan route to the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and he attacked their army, catching them offguard.

Hagi Gidioni'a marerino Nobane Jokbeha kumatrema me'nea kantega rugagino Midieni sondia vahe'mo'za ha' vahera omegahaze hu'za ontahi'za mani'nazageno, antri hazaza huno hara ome huzamante'ne.

12 Zebah and Zalmunna ran away, but he chased after the two Midianite kings and captured them, defeating the whole of their terrified army.

Hagi anama higeno'a, Midieni kini netre Zeba'ene Zalmunakea freke vakeno, Gidioni'a zanarotago huno ome zanazerigeno, ana kini netremofo sondia vahe'mo'za tusi zamagogogu hu'naze.

13 Then Gideon, son of Joash, returned from the battle through the Heres Pass.

Hagi Joasi nemofo Gidionima ha'ma huvagareteno'a ana kumara atreno, Heresi agonama me'neregama e'nea kamofo avaririno e'ne.

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'inama huno ne-eno'a mago Sukoti kumate nehaza ne' eme azerino antahigegeno, Sukoti kumate mani'naza kva vahetmina 77ni'a kva vahe'mofo zamagia Gidionina kremi'ne.

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?’”

Ana'ma higeno'a Gidioni'a Sukoti kumate eno amanage huno kva vahetmina eme zamasami'ne, Keho, Zebane Zalmunanena ama zanazeri'na oe, amare'ma enevu'na sondia vahe'ni'a breti zaminke'za neho hu'nama nehugeta, nazanavanke huta Zebane Zalbunane kazampima zanazerite'nanketa henka sondia vaheka'a bretia zamigahune hu'naze.

16 So he took the town elders of Succoth and taught them a lesson using thorns and briers from the desert.

Hagi Gidioni'ma anagema nehuno'a, ka'ma kopima me'nea ave'ave nofitami erino ana kumate kva vahetamina anagema hu'naza zantera sefu zami'ne.

17 He also demolished the tower of Peniel and killed the men of the town.

Ana nehuno Peniel kumate mani'ne'zama kuma'ma kegava nehaza za'za nozmia taganavazinetreno ana rankumapi vahera zamahe fri vagare'ne.

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.”

Ana huteno Gidioni'a Zebane Zalbunakiznia zanantahigeno, Tabor kumate'ma zamahe'na'a vahetmina, inankna vahe zamahe'na'e? Huno zanantahigegeke amanage hu'na'e, Kagri kavugosagna vahe zamahe'no'e. Ana maka'mo'za kini ne'mofo nemofo avugosagna hu'naze.

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!”

Anagema hakeno'a anante Gidioni'a amanage hu'ne, E'i nagri nenarera mofavrerami zamahe'na'e. Tamage mani'nea Ra Anumzamofo avufima tanasamisuana, tanagrama ana nafuhe'ima ozamahena'asina menina tanagrira ontanahosine.

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.

Anage nehuno zage mofavre'a Jetarinkura huno, otinka zanahegeke fri'o! Hianagi ana nehazamo'a otinora ozanahe'ne. Na'ankure agra osi mofavregino, koro hu'ne.

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.

Anage higeno Zeba'ene Zalmunakea amanage huke Gidionina asmi'na'e, Vema mani'nesunka kagraka'a otinka tahe frio. Anagema hakeno'a, Gidioni'a otino ana netrena zanahe nefrino, kemolizinimofo zananankente'ma hu'znante'na'a avasase'zana eri'ne.

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.”

Anama higeno'a Israeli vahe'mo'za amanage hu'za Gidioninkura hu'naze, Kagrane, negamofo'ene negageho'enena kvati mani'neta kegava huranteho. Na'ankure kagra Midieni vahe zamazampinti tagu'vazi'ne.

23 “I won't be your ruler, and my son won't either,” Gideon replied. “The Lord will be your ruler.”

Hianagi Gidioni'a amanage huno kenona huzmante'ne, Nagra kvatimia mani'nena kegava huoramantegosue. Ana hukna hu'za mofavrenimo'za kvatimia mani'ne'za kegava huoramantegahaze. Hagi Ra Anumzamoke kvatimia mani'neno kegava huramantegahie.

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.)

Hianagi magoke zanku tamantahigegahue. Ha' vahe'mo'zama zamagesafima renentaza golire rinima zamaheta eri'nazana mago magomota namitere hiho. Na'ankure zamagra Ismaeli nagaki'za zamagesafi golire rini rente vahe mani'nazageno hu'ne.

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.

Anagema higeno'a, amanage hu'za kenona hunte'naze. Amane tagra kamigahune, hu'za nehu'za nakre ku eri'za tafera nehu'za, korire riniramina ana makamo'za eme atre'naze.

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.

Hagi ana golire rinima eritruma hazageno'a kna'amo'a 25'a kilo hu'ne. Hagi e'i ana zankera eritru osu'nazanki, pasesuma, agesafi avasesezama, Midieni kini vahe'mo'ma nevasia fitunke za'za kukenama, kemorimofo zmanankempima hunentaza avasase zanena anampinke emeritru hu'naze.

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.

Hagi Gidioni'a ana koria erino rankuma'are Ofra viazamo pristi vahe'mo'zama zamimizare'ma nentaniza avasese'za ome tro huntenegeno, monko a'nemo'za hazaza hu'za Israeli vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamofona zamage'na hunemi'za, ana zante agafa hu'za monora hunte'naze. Gidionine naga'amofontera anazamo'a mago krifugna huno zamazeri'ne.

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.

Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za Midieni vahera zamahe'za zamazeri havizanfta hazageno, mago'anena hara eme huozmante'naze. E'ina hazageno Gidioni'ma kvama mani'nea knafina Israeli vahe'mo'za 40'a kafua hara osu amne fru hu'za mani'naze.

29 Jerub-baal, son of Joash, went home, living his own house.

Hagi Joasi nemofo Gidioni'a ete kuma'arega vu'ne.

30 Gideon had seventy sons, all his own, because he had many wives.

Hagi Gidioni'a rama'a a'nane zmante'negu 70'a ne'mofavrerami zamante'ne.

31 His concubine, who lived in Shechem, also had a son. He named him Abimelech.

Hagi Sekemu kumate nemania a'amo'a ne'mofavre antegeno, agi'a Abimeleki'e huno ante'ne.

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.

Hagi Joasi nemofo Gidioni'a ozafa omereno frigeno, nefa Joasima asente'naza matipi Abiesa naga nofimofo mopafi Ofra kumate asente'naze.

33 But as soon as Gideon died, the Israelites went back to prostituting themselves, worshiping before the Baals. They made Baal-berith their god.

Hagi Gidioni'ma fritege'za, Israeli vahe'mo'za ete mago'ane Ra Anumzamofona zamefi hunemiza Bal-Beriti havi anumza tro hunente'za, Bali havi anumzante monora hunte'naze.

34 They forgot about the Lord their God, who had saved them from all their enemies that surrounded them.

Ana nehu'za Israeli vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzana zamagri Anumzamo'ma ha' vahezimimo'za mika kampinti e'za ha'ma eme hunezmantegeno zamagu'ma vazi'nea Ra Anumzana zamage akaninte'naze.

35 They did not show any respect to the family of Jerub-baal (Gideon) for all the good he had done for Israel.

Hanki Gidioni'ma knare'zama huzamante'nea zankura Israeli vahe'mo'za agri naga'mofona humusenkea hu'za susu huozamante'naze.
