< Judges 7 >

1 Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people that were with him, rose up early, and pitched beside En-harod; and the camp of Midian was on the north side of them, by Gibeath-moreh, in the valley.
Yerub-Baʼaal namichi Gidewoon jedhamu sunii fi namoonni isaa hundi ganama kaʼanii burqaa Harood bira qubatan. Qubanni Midiyaanotaa iddoo namoonni Gidewoon qubatan sanaan karaa kaabaatiin gaara Mooree bira sulula keessa ture.
2 And the LORD said unto Gideon: 'The people that are with thee are too many for Me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel vaunt themselves against Me, saying: mine own hand hath saved me.
Waaqayyos Gidewooniin akkana jedhe; “Akka ani Midiyaanota dabarsee harka isaaniitti hin kennineef Israaʼeloonni si wajjin jiran akka male baayʼee dha. Akka sabni Israaʼel, ‘Jabina kootu na oolche’ jedhee natti hin koorreef,
3 Now therefore make proclamation in the ears of the people, saying: Whosoever is fearful and trembling, let him return and depart early from mount Gilead.' And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand.
‘Namni sodaatee hollate kam iyyuu Tulluu Giliʼaad dhiisee gara mana isaatti haa deebiʼu’ jedhiitii amma sabatti himi.” Kanaafuu namoonni kuma digdamii lama deebiʼanii kuma kudhan achitti hafan.
4 And the LORD said unto Gideon: 'The people are yet too many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there; and it shall be, that of whom I say to thee: This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee: This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go.'
Waaqayyo garuu Gidewooniin akkana jedhe; “Amma iyyuu namoota baayʼeetu jira. Isaan fudhadhuutii gara bishaaniitti gad buʼi; ani achitti isaan gargari siif foʼa. Yoo ani, ‘Inni kun si wajjin ni deema’ jedhe, inni ni deema; yoo ani, ‘Inni kun si wajjin hin deemu’ jedhe garuu inni hin deemu.”
5 So he brought down the people unto the water; and the LORD said unto Gideon: 'Everyone that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink.'
Kanaafuu Gidewoon namoota gara bishaaniitti gad buuse. Waaqayyos achitti, “Warra akkuma sareetti arrabaan bishaan dhugan, warra jilbeenfatanii dhugan irraa gargari baasi” isaan jedhe.
6 And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was three hundred men; but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water.
Namoonni dhibba sadii konyee isaaniitiin waraabbatanii dhugan. Warri hafan hundi garuu dhuguuf jilbeenfatan.
7 And the LORD said unto Gideon: 'By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thy hand; and let all the people go every man unto his place.'
Waaqayyo Gidewooniin, “Ani namoota harka isaaniitiin dhugan dhibba sadan kanaan si furee Midiyaanota dabarsee harka keetti nan kenna. Warri kaan hundi gara qeʼee isaaniitti haa deebiʼan” jedheen.
8 So they took the victuals of the people in their hand, and their horns; and he sent all the men of Israel every man unto his tent, but retained the three hundred men; and the camp of Midian was beneath him in the valley.
Kanaafuu Gidewoon akka Israaʼeloonni hafan hundi gara dunkaana isaaniitti deebiʼan godhee namoota dhibba sadan garuu turfate; isaanis warra kaan irraa galaa fi malakata fudhatan. Qubanni Midiyaanotaas Gidewooniin gad sulula keessa ture.
9 And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto him: 'Arise, get thee down upon the camp; for I have delivered it into thy hand.
Halkanuma sana Waaqayyo Gidewooniin akkana jedhe; “Kaʼiitii qubata sanatti gad buʼi; ani dabarsee harka keetti siifin kennaatii.
10 But if thou fear to go down, go thou with Purah thy servant down to the camp.
Ati yoo gad buʼuu sodaatte garuu tajaajilaa kee Fuuraa wajjin gara qubata sanaatti gad buʼiitii
11 And thou shalt hear what they say; and afterward shall thy hands be strengthened to go down upon the camp.' Then went he down with Purah his servant unto the outermost part of the armed men that were in the camp.
waan isaan dubbachaa jiran dhagaʼi. Sana booddee qubata sana rukutuudhaaf jabina ni argatta.” Kanaafuu innii fi tajaajilaan isaa Fuuraan gara moggaa qubata sanaatti gad buʼan.
12 Now the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like locusts for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand which is upon the sea-shore for multitude.
Midiyaanonni, Amaaleqoonnii fi namoonni baʼa biiftuutii dhufan hundi akkuma hoomaa hawwaannisaa walitti gobbatanii sululicha keessa qubatanii turan. Baayʼinni gaalawwan isaaniis akkuma cirracha qarqara galaanaa lakkoobsa hin qabu ture.
13 And when Gideon was come, behold, there was a man telling a dream unto his follow, and saying: 'Behold, I dreamed a dream, and, lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian, and came unto the tent, and smote it that it fell, and turned it upside down, that the tent lay flat.'
Gidewoonis utuu namichi tokko waaʼee abjuu isaa michuu ofii isaatti himuu achi gaʼe. Namichi sunis akkana jedhe; “Ani abjuu tokko nan abjoodhe; kunoo maxinoon garbuu tokko gangalachaa dhufee qubata Midiyaanotaa irra buʼe. Innis dhufee akka dunkaanni jiguuf humnaan dhaʼe; dunkaanni sunis ni kufe.”
14 And his fellow answered and said: 'This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: into his hand God hath delivered Midian, and all the host.'
Michuun isaas deebisee, “Kun goraadee Gidewoon ilma Yooʼaash Israaʼelichaati malee waan biraa miti. Waaqnis Midiyaanotaa fi guutummaa qubata sanaa dabarsee harka Gidewoonitti kenneera” jedhe.
15 And it was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he worshipped; and he returned into the camp of Israel, and said: 'Arise; for the LORD hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian.'
Gidewoon yommuu abjuu sanaa fi hiikkaa isaa dhagaʼetti Waaqaaf sagade. Gara qubata Israaʼelootaattis deebiʼee, “Kaʼaa! Waaqayyo qubata Midiyaanotaa dabarsee harka keessanitti kenneeraa” jedhe.
16 And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put into the hands of all of them horns, and empty pitchers, with torches within the pitchers.
Innis namoota dhibba sadan garee sadiitti qooduudhaan, harka hunda isaaniitti malakataa fi okkotee guci keessa jiru qabachiise.
17 And he said unto them: 'Look on me, and do likewise; and, behold, when I come to the outermost part of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall ye do.
Gidewoonis akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Na ilaalaa; waan ani hojjedhus hojjedhaa; yommuu ani qarqara qubatichaatti dhiʼaadhutti qalbeeffadhaatii waanuma ani godhu godhaa.
18 When I blow the horn, I and all that are with me, then blow ye the horns also on every side of all the camp, and say: For the LORD and for Gideon!'
Yeroo anii fi warri na wajjin jiran hundii malakata keenya afuufnutti, isinis naannoo qubatichaa hundatti afuufaatii, ‘Waaqayyoof, Gidewooniifis’ jedhaa iyyaa.”
19 So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outermost part of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch, when they had but newly set the watch; and they blew the horns, and broke in pieces the pitchers that were in their hands.
Gidewoonii fi namoonni isa wajjin turan dhibbi sun akkuma waardiyyoonni wal geeddaraniin jalqaba eegumsa walakkaa halkaniitti qarqara qubata sanaa bira gaʼan. Isaanis malakata isaanii afuufanii okkotee harka isaanii jiru caccabsan.
20 And the three companies blew the horns, and broke the pitchers, and held the torches in their left hands, and the horns in their right hands wherewith to blow; and they cried: 'The sword for the LORD and for Gideon!'
Gareen sadanuu malakata isaanii afuufanii okkotee harka isaanii jiru caccabsan. Harka bitaatti guca, harka mirgaatti immoo malakata afuufan qabatanii, “Goraadee Waaqayyootii fi Gidewoon!” jedhanii iyyan.
21 And they stood every man in his place round about the camp; and all the host ran; and they shouted, and fled.
Tokkoon tokkoon namaas naannoo qubatichaatti iddoo kennameef qabate; Midiyaanonni hundis iyyaa baqatan.
22 And they blew the three hundred horns, and the LORD set every man's sword a against his fellow, even throughout all the host; and the host fled as far as Beth-shittah toward Zererah, as far as the border of Abel-meholah, by Tabbath.
Yeroo malakanni dhibbi sadan sun afuufametti Waaqayyo akka namni qubata sana keessa ture tokko tokkoon goraadee isaa walitti luqqifatu godhe; raayyaan waraanaas karaa Zereeraatiin gara Beet Shiixaatti, isa biras darbanii hamma daarii Abeel Mehoolaa ishee Xabaati bira jirtu sanaatti baqatanii deeman.
23 And the men of Israel were gathered together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after Midian.
Israaʼeloonnis Niftaalem, Aasheerii fi Minaasee hundumaa keessaa waamanii Midiyaanota of dura ariʼan.
24 And Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill-country of Ephraim, saying: 'Come down against Midian, and take before them the waters, as far as Beth-barah, and also the Jordan.' So all the men of Ephraim were gathered together, and took the waters as far as Beth-barah, and also the Jordan.
Gidewoonis guutummaa biyya gaaraa Efreemitti ergamoota ergee, “Kottaa Midiyaanotatti duulaatii bishaanota hamma Beet Baaraatti jiranii fi laga Yordaanos isaan dursaatii qabadhaa” jedhe. Kanaafuu namoonni Efreem hundi baʼanii bishaanota hamma Beet Baaraatti jiranii fi laga Yordaanos qabatan.
25 And they took the two princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb; and they slew Oreb at the Rock of Oreb, and Zeeb they slew at the Winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian; and they brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon beyond the Jordan.
Akkasumas hooggantoota Midiyaanotaa lamaan jechuunis Hereebii fi Zeʼeebin qabatan. Hereeb kattaa Hereeb biratti Zeʼeeb immoo iddoo wayinii itti cuunfan kan Zeʼeebiitti ajjeesan. Isaanis Midiyaanota ariʼanii mataa Hereebii fi mataa Zeʼeeb gara gama laga Yordaanos Gidewoonitti fidan.
