Judges 6
1 Afterwarde the children of Israel committed wickednesse in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord gaue them into the handes of Midian seuen yeres.
Ie amy zao nanao haratiañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà o ana’ Israeleo, naho nitolora’ Iehovà am-pità’ i Midiane fito taoñe.
2 And the hand of Midian preuayled against Israel, and because of the Midianites the children of Israel made them dennes in the mountaines, and caues, and strong holdes.
Le nitan-kagàñe am’ Israele ty fità’ o nte-Midianeo kanao nihaly lakato ambohitsey naho kobom-pipalirañe ty amo nte-Midianeo o ana’ Israeleo.
3 When Israel had sowen, then came vp the Midianites, the Amalekites, and they of the East, and came vpon them,
Amy te, ie vata’e nitongy o ana’ Israeleo, le nionjomb’eo o nte-Midianeo naho o nte-Amalekeo vaho o anan-tatiñanañeo haname iareo,
4 And camped by them, and destroyed the fruite of the earth, euen til thou come vnto Azzah, and left no foode for Israel, neither sheepe, nor oxe, nor asse.
hitobea’e, hampiantoe’e ty voka’ i tane’ Israeley pak’ Azà añe, le tsy apo’ iareo e Israele ao ty hahaveloñe añondry ndra añombe ndra borìke.
5 For they went vp, and their cattel, and came with their tentes as grashoppers in multitude: so that they and their camels were without number: and they came into the land to destroy it.
Ie nionjoñe mb’eo reketse hare naho kibohotse ami’ty havalobohò’e hoe valala, ie naho o rameva’ iareo tsy nihay iaheñeo, te nimoak’ an-tane ao hamongots’ aze.
6 So was Israel exceedingly impouerished by the Midianites: therefore the children of Israel cryed vnto the Lord.
Nampifotsake Israele ambane ty Midiane; vaho nikoaik’ am’ Iehovà o ana’ Israeleo.
7 And when the children of Israel cryed vnto the Lord because of the Midianites,
Aa ie nitoreove’ o ana’ Israeleo am’ Iehovà i Midiane,
8 The Lord sent vnto the children of Israel a Prophet, who sayd vuto them, Thus sayth the Lord God of Israel, I haue brought you vp from Egypt, and haue brought you out of the house of bondage,
le nañitrifa’ Iehovà mpitoky o ana’ Israeleo, le hoe re am’ iereo, Hoe ty tsara’ Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ Israele; Nakareko boake Mitsraime añe nahareo vaho nampionjoneko hirik’ an-trañom-pañondevozañe ao;
9 And I haue deliuered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all that oppressed you, and haue cast them out before you, and giuen you their land.
le nivotsorako am-pità’ o nte-Mitsraimeo, naho am-pità’ o namorekekeo naho nataoko soik’ añatrefa’ areo vaho natoloko anahareo o tane’eo.
10 And I sayde vnto you, I am the Lord your God: feare not the gods of the Amorites in whose lande you dwell: but ye haue not obeyed my voyce.
Aa hoe ty asako ama’ areo: Izaho Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo; ko añeveña’ areo o ‘ndraharen-te-Amoreo, ie mimoneñe an-tane’e ao, fe tsy hinao’ areo ty feoko.
11 And the Angell of the Lord came, and sate vnder the oke which was in Ophrah, that perteined vnto Ioash the father of the Ezrites, and his sonne Gideon threshed wheate by the winepresse, to hide it from the Midianites.
Aa le nivotrake eo ty anjeli’ Iehovà niambesatse ambane’ ty kile’ Ioase nte-Abiezere e Ofrà añe; namofoke vare-bolè ampipiritan-divay ao t’i Gidone ana’e haeta’e amo nte-Midianeo.
12 Then the Angel of the Lord appeared vnto him, and said vnto him, The Lord is with thee, thou valiant man.
Niheo ama’e i anjeli’ Iehovày, le nanoe’e ty hoe: Ama’o t’Iehovà ry fanalolahio.
13 To whome Gideon answered, Ah my Lord, if the Lord be with vs, why then is all this come vpon vs? and where be all his miracles which our fathers tolde vs of, and sayd, Did not the Lord bring vs out of Egypt? but now the Lord hath forsaken vs, and deliuered vs into the hand of the Midianites.
Le hoe t’i Gidone ama’e, O Talèko, kanao ama’ay t’Iehovà, ino ty nametsaha’e ze he’e zao? Aa vaho aia iaby o raha tsitantane’e natalilin-droae’ay ama’aio, ami’ty hoe: Tsy nakare’ Iehovà boake Mitsraime añe hao tika? fe naforintse’ Iehovà henaneo, vaho nasese’e am-pità’ o nte-Midianeo.
14 And the Lord looked vpon him, and sayd, Goe in this thy might, and thou shalt saue Israel out of the handes of the Midianites: haue not I sent thee?
Nitolik’ ama’e t’Iehovà nanao ty hoe: Akia ami’ty haozara’o hañaha Israele am-pità’ i Midiane; tsy fa niraheko?
15 And he answered him, Ah my Lord, whereby shall I saue Israel? beholde, my father is poore in Manasseh, and I am the least in my fathers house.
Le hoe re tama’e: O Talèko, akore ty haharombahako Israele? hehe te boroka amy Menasè o taminga’aio vaho tsitso’e añ’ anjomban-draeko iraho.
16 Then the Lord sayd vnto him, I wil therefore be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites, as one man.
Le hoe t’Iehovà ama’e. Toe ho ama’o iraho, le ho lafae’o hoe ondaty raike o nte-Midianeo.
17 And he answered him, I pray thee, if I haue founde fauour in thy sight, then shewe me a signe, that thou talkest with me.
Aa le hoe ty natoi’e aze: Aa ie nahaoni-palalàñe am-pivazohoa’o eo, ehe toloro viloñe te Ihe ro nitsara amako.
18 Depart not hence, I pray thee, vntil I come vnto thee, and bring mine offring, and lay it before thee. And he sayde, I will tary vntill thou come againe.
Ehe, ko mienga atoy, ampara’ te harineako, hibanabana naho hanjotsoako. Le hoe re, ho liñasako ty fibali’o.
19 Then Gideon went in, and made ready a kidde, and vnleauened bread of an Ephah of floure, and put the flesh in a basket, and put the broth in a pot, and brought it out vnto him vnder the oke, and presented it.
Aa le nimoak’ ao t’i Gidone, nañalankañe vik’ ose naho mofo tsy aman-dalivay ami’ty mona’e efà raike; napo’e an-karoñe ao i henay naho am-pinga-kodoboñe ao i ro’ey naho nibanabanae’e ambane’ i kiley vaho nazotso’e.
20 And the Angell of God saide vnto him, Take the flesh and the vnleauened bread, and lay them vpon this stone, and powre out the broth: and he did so.
Aa hoe i anjeli’ Iehovày ama’e, Rambeso o henao naho o mofo pisakeo vaho apoho amo vato tiañe le adoaño ama’e ty ro’e. Aa le nanoe’e.
21 Then the Angell of the Lord put forth the ende of the staffe that he had in his hand, and touched the flesh and the vnleauened bread: and there arose vp fire out of the stone, and consumed the flesh and the vnleauened bread: so the Angel of the Lord departed out of his sight.
Natondro’ i anjeli’ Iehovà mb’ ama’e i kobay am-pità’ey le natsovo’e i henay naho i mofo tsy aman-dalivaiy, le nisolebotse boak’ amy vatoy ty afo namorototo i henay naho i mofo pisakey. Nienga am-pahaoniña’e amy zao t’Iehovà.
22 And when Gideon perceiued that it was an Angel of the Lord, Gideon then sayde, Alas, my Lord God: for because I haue seene an Angell of the Lord face to face, I shall die.
Aa le nioni’ i Gidone t’ie anjeli’ Iehovà; le hoe t’i Gidone, Hoy abey! ry Talè Iehovà! te izaho nahatrea ty laharan’ anjeli’ Iehovà, tarehe naho laharañe.
23 And the Lord said vnto him, Peace be vnto thee: feare not, thou shalt not die.
Le hoe t’Iehovà ama’e: Fanintsiñañe ama’o; ko hemban-drehe fa tsy hihomake.
24 Then Gideon made an altar there vnto the Lord, and called it, Iehouah shalom: vnto this day it is in Ophrah, of the father of the Ezrites.
Nandranjy kitrely ho am’ Iehovà eo t’i Gidone vaho natao’e Iehovà-salome ty añara’e; ie e Ofrà’ o nte-Abiezeo henaneo.
25 And the same night the Lord sayd vnto him, Take thy fathers yong bullocke, and an other bullocke of seuen yeeres olde, and destroy the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut downe the groue that is by it,
Ie amy haleñey, le nitsara’ Iehovà ty hoe: Andrambeso bania raike ami’ty anjomban-drae’o naho añombe fito-ay ho faharoe’e, le afetsaho ambane i kitreli’ i Baale aman-drae’oy vaho firao i Aserà marine azey;
26 And build an altar vnto the Lord thy God vpon the top of this rocke, in a plaine place: and take the seconde bullocke, and offer a burnt offringe with the woode of the groue, which thou shalt cut downe.
le mandrajia kitrely ambone’ o lamilamio amy Iehovà Andrianañahare’o, am-pilahara’e do’e naho rambeso i añombelahy faharoey vaho engao am-pisoroñañe amy hataen’ Aserà finira’oy.
27 Then Gideon tooke tenne men of his seruants, and did as ye Lord bade him: but because he feared to doe it by day for his fathers housholde, and the men of the citie, he did it by night.
Aa le rinambe’ i Gidone ty lahilahy folo amo mpitoro’eo vaho nanoe’e i tsinara’ Iehovày. Fe nihembañe tsy nimete nanoe’e antoandro ty amy anjomban-drae’ey naho ty am’ ondati’ i rovaio, fa nanoe’e haleñe.
28 And when the men of the citie arose early in the morning, beholde, the altar of Baal was broken, and the groue cut downe that was by it, and the seconde bullocke offred vpon the altar that was made.
Aa ie nitroatse maraindraiñe ondati’ i rovaio, hehe te nirotsak’ ambane ty kitreli’ i Baale, naho finira ka i Aserà marine azey, vaho fa nisoroñañe amy kitrely niranjieñey i añombelahy faharoey.
29 Therefore they saide one to another, Who hath done this thing? and when they inquired and asked, they saide, Gideon the sonne of Ioash hath done this thing.
Le hoe ty nifanoa’ iereo: Ia ty nanao o raha zao? Aa naho nañontane iereo, le hoe ty asa’e: Sata’ i Gidone ana’ Ioase zao.
30 Then the men of the citie said vnto Ioash, Bring out thy sonne, that hee may dye: for he hath destroyed the altar of Baal, and hath also cut downe the groue that was by it.
Aa le hoe ty asa’ ondati’ i rovaio am’ Ioase; Akaro i ana’oy, havetrake; amy te rinotsa’e ty kitreli’ i Baale; vaho finira’e i Aserà marine azey.
31 And Ioash said vnto all that stood by him, Will ye pleade Baals cause? or will ye saue him? he that will contend for him, let him dye or the morning. If he be God, let him pleade for himselfe against him that hath cast downe his altar.
Aa le hoe t’Ioase amo nijohañe ama’eo: Hialy ho a i Baale hao nahareo? Hañaro aze hao? Havetrake aolo’ ty maraiñe ze hialy ho aze; aa naho ‘ndrahare re, angao harova’e kanao eo ty nandrotsake i kitreli’ey.
32 And in that day was Gideon called Ierubbaal, that is, Let Baal pleade for himselfe because he hath broken downe his altar.
Aa le natao Ierob’ baale i tahina’ey ami’ty hoe: Angao hiatrek’ aze t’i Baale amy t’ie nandrotsak’ i kitreli’ey.
33 Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and they of ye East, were gathered together, aud went and pitched in the valley of Izreel.
Ie amy zao fa nifanontoñe iaby o nte-Midianeo naho o nte-Amalekeo naho o ana’ tatiñanañeo; nitsake vaho nitobe am-bavatane’ Iizreele ao.
34 But the Spirit of the Lord came vpon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet, and Abiezer was ioyned with him.
Fe nivotrak’ amy Gidone t’i Arofo’ Iehovà le nitiofe’e i tsifay le nañampea’ o nte-Abiezereo.
35 And he sent messengers thorowout al Manasseh, which also was ioyned with him, and he sent messengers vnto Asher, and to Zebulun and to Naphtali, and they came vp to meete them.
Le nampihitrife’e ty hanitsike i Menasè, naho nireketa’e, nampihitrifa’e ka t’i Asere naho i Zebolone vaho i Naftalý; le nionjomb’ ama’e mb’eo ka iereo nifanampe ama’e.
36 Then Gideon said vnto God, If thou wilt saue Israel by mine hand, as thou hast sayd,
Le hoe t’i Gidone aman’ Añahare, Ho rombahe’o an-tañako hao t’Israele ty amy tsara’oy?
37 Beholde, I wil put a fleece of wooll in the threshing place: if the dewe come on the fleece onely, and it be drie vpon all the earth, then shall I be sure, that thou wilt saue Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said.
Hehe te hapoko an-toem-pifofohañe eo ty volon’ añondry; aa naho amy volon’ añondriy avao ty zono vaho maike iaby o taneo, le hapotako te ho rombahe’o an-tañako t’Israele ty amy tsara’oy.
38 And so it was: for he rose vp earely on the morow, and thrust the fleece together, and wringed the dew out of the fleece, and filled a bowle of water.
Aa ie izay; nañaleñaleñe re, le nifeahe’e i volon’ añondriy nañafake i zonoy vaho nahapea ty soakazo.
39 Againe, Gideon sayde vnto God, Be not angry with me, that I may speake once more: let me prooue once againe, I pray thee, with the fleece: let it now be drie onely vpon the fleece, and let dewe be vpon all the ground.
Fe hoe t’i Gidone aman’ Añahare, Ko ampisolebore’o amako ty haviñera’o naho mbe ivolañako henaneo; angao hamentesako indraik’ amy volon’ añondriy. Ehe te i volon’añondriy avao ty ho maike, vaho ho tsitsike zono o taneo.
40 And God did so that same night: for it was drie vpon the fleece onely, and there was dewe on all the ground.
Aa le nanoen’ Añahare izay amy haleñey; i volon’ añondriy avao ty nimaike vaho nitsitsihen-jono o taneo.
