Judges 7
1 Then Ierubbaal (who is Gideon) rose vp early, and all the people that were with him, and pitched beside the well of Harod, so that the hoste of the Midianites was on the Northside of them in the valley by the hill of Moreh.
Gokinyi mangʼich, Jerub-Baal (mano en Gideon) kod joge duto nojot e soko mar Harod. Kambi jo-Midian ne nitiere yo nyandwat margi e holo man but got More.
2 And the Lord said vnto Gideon, The people that are with thee, are too many for me to giue the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel make their vaunt against me, and say, Mine hand hath saued mee.
Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Gideon niya, “In-gi ji mangʼeny ma ok anyal chiwo jo-Midian e lwetgi. Mondo kik jo-Israel sungrena ni tekogi ema oresogi,
3 Now therefore proclaime in the audience of the people, and say, Who so is timerous or fearefull, let him returne, and depart earely from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people which were at mount Gilead, two and twentie thousand: so ten thousand remayned.
go milome ne ji ni, ‘Ngʼato angʼata ma luoro omako ogom kendo oa e Got Gilead.’” Omiyo ji alufu piero ariyo gariyo noa, to ji alufu apar nodongʼ.
4 And the Lord said vnto Gideon, The people are yet too many: bring them downe vnto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and of whome I say vnto thee, This man shall goe with thee, the same shall go with thee: and of whomsoeuer I say vnto thee, This man shall not goe with thee, the same shall not go.
To Jehova Nyasaye nodwoko Gideon niya, “Pod nitie ji mangʼeny ahinya. Kawgi itergi e pi, kendo abiro miyogi penj kuno. Ka awacho ni, ‘Ma biro dhi kodi,’ to obiro dhi; to ka awacho ni, ‘Ma ok bi dhi kodi,’ to ok obi dhi.”
5 So he brought downe the people vnto the water. And the Lord sayd vnto Gideon, As many as lap the water with their tongues, as a dog lappeth, them put by themselues, and euery one that shall bow downe his knees to drinke, put apart.
Omiyo Gideon noterogi e dho pi. Kanyo Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Pog jogo magado pi gi lewgi kaka guok kuom jogo magoyo chong-gi piny mondo omodhi.”
6 And the nomber of them that lapped by putting their handes to their mouthes, were three hundreth men: but all the remnant of the people kneeled downe vpon their knees to drinke water.
Ji mia adek nogado pi gi lwetgi. Jogo modongʼ nogoyo chonggi piny mondo gimodhi.
7 Then the Lord sayde vnto Gideon, By these three hundreth men that lapped, will I saue you, and deliuer the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the other people go euery man vnto his place.
Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Gideon niya, “Kuom ji mia adek mane ogado pi gi lwetgi, anaresu kendo achiw jo-Midian e lwetu. We ji mamoko odhi, ka moro ka moro dok dalane.”
8 So the people tooke vitailes with them, and their trumpets: and he sent all the rest of Israel, euery man vnto his tent, and reteined the three hundreth men: and the hoste of Midian was beneath him in a valley.
Omiyo Gideon nooro jo-Israel mamoko e hembegi, to ji mia adek mane odongʼ-go nokawo chiemo kod turumbete mag joma nodok e miechgi. Kambi jo-Midian ne ni e holo gi mwalo.
9 And the same night the Lord sayde vnto him, Arise, get thee downe vnto the hoste: for I haue deliuered it into thine hand.
Otienono Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Gideon niya, “Aa malo, dhiyo imonj kambi, nikech adhi chiwe e lweti.
10 But if thou feare to go downe, then go thou, and Phurah thy seruant downe to the hoste,
Kiluor mar monjogi, to dhi e kambi gi jatichni Pura
11 And thou shalt hearken what they say, and so shall thine handes be strong to go downe vnto the hoste. Then went he downe and Phurah his seruant vnto the outside of the souldiers that were in the hoste.
kendo ichik iti iwinj gima giwacho. Bangʼe, inibed gi mijingʼo mar monjo kambino.” Omiyo en kod Pura jatichne negidhi machiegni gi kambi.
12 And the Midianites, and the Amalekites and all they of the East, lay in the valley like grashoppers in multitude, and their camels were without nomber, as the sande which is by the sea side for multitude.
Jo-Midian, jo-Amalek kod jogo moa yo wuok chiengʼ nojot e holo mane oyugno ka kama bonyo ochokore. Ne gin gi ngamia mangʼeny mane ok nyal kwan mana ka kwoyo manie dho nam.
13 And when Gideon was come, beholde, a man tolde a dreame vnto his neighbour, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dreame, and lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled from aboue into the hoste of Midian, and came vnto a tent, and smote it that it fell, and ouerturned it, that the tent fell downe.
Gideon nochopo mana ka ngʼat moro ne nyiso osiepene lek. Ngʼatno ne wachone osiepene niya, “Ne aleko ni makati molos gi mogo mar shairi molworore nobiro e kambi jo-Midian. Nogoyo hema gi teko ma hema olokore kendo olwar piny.”
14 And his fellow answered, and sayde, This is nothing els saue the sworde of Gideon the sonne of Ioash a man of Israel: for into his hande hath God deliuered Midian and all the hoste.
Osiepne nodwoko niya, “Ma ok en wach moro machielo makmana ligangla mar Gideon wuod Joash, ma ja-Israel. Nyasaye osechiwo jo-Midian kod kambi duto e lwete.”
15 When Gideon heard the dreame tolde, and the interpretation of the same, he worshipped, and returned vnto the hoste of Israel, and said, Vp: for the Lord hath deliuered into your hande the hoste of Midian.
Ka Gideon nowinjo lekno kod kaka oloke, nopako Nyasaye. Nodok e kambi jo-Israel kendo owacho niya, “Chungʼuru malo! Jehova Nyasaye osechiwo jo-Midian e lwetu.”
16 And hee deuided the three hundreth men into three bandes, and gaue euery man a trumpet in his hande with emptie pitchers, and lampes within the pitchers.
Nopogo ji mia adekgo e migepe adek, komiyogi duto turumbete kod njagi maonge gimoro e iye e lwetgi, ka nitiere toch ei njagigo.
17 And he sayd vnto them, Looke on me, and do likewise, when I come to the side of the hoste: euen as I do, so do you.
Nowachonegi niya, Luwauru ka ungʼiyo kendo ka achopo but hema, to timuru mana kaka atimo.
18 When I blowe with a trumpet and all that are with me, blowe ye with trumpets also on euery side of the hoste, and say, For the Lord, and for Gideon.
Ka agoyo turumbete kaachiel jogo duto ma an-go, eka un joma uselworo kambi bende ugo turumbete ka ukok niya, “Wakedo ni Jehova Nyasaye kod Gideon.”
19 So Gideon and the hundreth men that were with him, came vnto the outside of the hoste, in the beginning of the middle watche, and they raised vp the watchmen, and they blew with their trumpets, and brake the pitchers that were in their handes.
Gideon kod ji mia achiel mane ni kode nochopo e bath kambi chuny otieno, mana bangʼ kane gisewilo jorito. Negigoyo turumbetegi kendo gitoyo agulni mane ni e lwetegi.
20 And the three companies blew with trumpets and brake the pitchers, and helde the lampes in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right. handes to blowe withall: and they cryed, The sword of the Lord and of Gideon.
Kambi adekgi nogoyo turumbete kendo gitoyo njagi. Ka gimako toje gi lwetgi koracham kendo ka gitingʼo turumbete mane onego gi goo gi lwetgi korachwich, ne gikok niya, “Ligangla en mar Jehova Nyasaye kod Gideon!”
21 And they stoode, euery man in his place round about the hoste: and all the hoste ranne, and cryed, and fled.
E sa ma ngʼato ka ngʼato nokawo kare ka gilworo kambi, jo-Midian duto noringo, kendo negiringo ka giywak.
22 And the three hundreth blewe with trumpets, and the Lord set euery mans sworde vpon his neighbour, and vpon all the hoste: so the hoste fled to Beth-hashittah in Zererah, and to the border of Abel-meholah, vnto Tabbath.
E sa ma turumbete mia adekgo nogoo, Jehova Nyasaye noketo ji duto mane ni e kambi ochako kedo e kindgi giwegi ka ginegore gi ligangla. Jolweny noringo odhi Beth Shitta kochiko Zerera mochopo nyaka e tongʼ mar Abel Mehola man but Tabath.
23 Then the men of Israel being gathered together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, pursued after the Midianites.
Noluong jo-Israel moa Naftali, Asher kod Manase, kendo negilawo jo-Midian.
24 And Gideon sent messengers vnto all mount Ephraim, saying, Come downe against the Midianites, and take before them the waters vnto Beth-barah, and Iorden. Then all the men of Ephraim gathered together and tooke the waters vnto Beth-barah, and Iorden.
Gideon nooro joote e piny gode mag Efraim duto, kowacho, “Biuru uked kod jo-Midian kendo udhi nyimgi ma umak pige mag Jordan mochopo nyaka Beth Bara.” Omiyo jo-Efraim duto nowuok oko kendo negikawo pige mag Jordan mochopo Beth Bara.
25 And they tooke two princes of the Midianites, Oreb and Zeeb, and slew Oreb vpon the rocke Oreb, and slewe Zeeb at the winepresse of Zeeb, and pursued the Midianites, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon beyonde Iorden.
Negimako bende jotelo ariyo mag jo-Midian, Oreb kod Zeb. Neginego Oreb e lwanda mar Oreb, kod Zeb e kar biyo divai mar Zeb. Negilawo jo-Midian kendo gikelo wiye Oreb kod Zeb ni Gideon, kama ne entie but aora Jordan.
