< Judges 6 >
1 And the children of Israel did the evil in the eyes of the Lord: and the Lord delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years.
Mwet Israel elos sifilpa orekma koluk ye mutun LEUM GOD, na LEUM GOD El eisalosyang nu inpoun mwet Midian ke lusen yac itkosr.
2 And the hand of Midian prevailed over Israel; and because of the Midianites the children of Israel made for themselves the passes which are in the mountains, and the caves, and the strongholds.
Mwet Midian elos ku liki mwet Israel, ke ma inge mwet Israel elos wikwik in luf ku kutepacna acn elos ku in wikla we fineol uh.
3 And it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the 'Amalekites, and the children of the east, and they went up against them;
Pacl nukewa ma mwet Israel inge ac yukwi sacn sunalos uh, mwet Midian ac mwet Amalek ac mwet ma muta yen mwesis uh elos ac tuku ac orek lokoalok nu selos.
4 And they encamped against them, and destroyed the products of the earth, as far as Gazzah, and they left no sustenance for Israel, neither lamb, nor ox, nor ass.
Mwet inge ac tuku tulokinya lohm nuknuk selos uh in acn elos imai inge, ac kunausla ima ac sacn sunalos uh. Elos ac kunausla acn inge som na nwe eir apkuran nu Gaza. Elos ac oayapa sruok sheep, cow, ac donkey natulos, ac tia filiya kutena ma nu sin mwet Israel.
5 For they came up with their cattle and their tents, and came as locusts in multitude; and both they and their camels were without number; and they came into the land to destroy it.
Ke mwet inge ac tuku wi ma orakrak natulos ac lohm nuknuk selos uh, elos arulana pus oana pusiyen locust uh. Mwet inge, weang camel natulos uh, elos arulana pusla, tia ku in oaoala. Elos ac fahsrot kunausla acn na lulap,
6 And Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites; and the children of Israel cried unto the Lord.
ac wangin ma mwet Israel ku in oru nu selos. Na mwet Israel elos wowoyak nu sin LEUM GOD tuh Elan kasrelos.
7 And it came to pass, when the children of Israel had cried unto the Lord because of the Midianites,
Ke mwet Israel elos wowoyak nu sin LEUM GOD ke sripen mwet Midian inge,
8 That the Lord sent a prophet unto the children of Israel, and he said unto them, Thus hath said the Lord the God of Israel, I led you forth out of Egypt, and brought you out of the house of slavery;
na LEUM GOD El ac supwama sie mwet palu nu yurin mwet Israel, ac el ac fahk nu selos, “LEUM GOD El fahk, Nga God lun Israel, su uskowosme liki sruoh lowos in acn Egypt.
9 And I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all that oppressed you, and I drove them out from before you, and gave you their land;
Nga molikowosla liki mwet Egypt, oayapa liki mwet su lain kowos in facl se inge. Nga lusak mwet lokoalok lowos ye motowos ac eisla facl selos ac asot tuh in ma lowos.
10 And I said unto you, I am the Lord your God: ye shall not fear the gods of the Emorites, in whose land ye dwell; but ye have not obeyed my voice.
Nga tuh fahk nu suwos lah nga LEUM GOD lowos, ac kowos in tia alu nu sin god lun mwet Amor su kowos muta fin acn selos inge. Tuh pa kowos tiana porongeyu.”
11 And there came an angel of the Lord, and sat down under the oak which was in 'Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abi'ezrite; and Gid'on his son was beating out wheat in the wine-press, to hide it from the Midianites.
Na sie lipufan lun LEUM GOD El tuku nu Ophrah ac muta ye sak oak soko sunal Joash, sie mwet in ota lal Abiezer. Gideon, wen natul, el wikla muta tuktuk wheat ke nien fut wain, mwet Midian inge in tia liyal.
12 And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him, and said unto him, The Lord is with thee, thou mighty man of valor.
Na lipufan sac sikyang nu sel ac fahk, “LEUM GOD El wi kom. Kom sie mwet ku ac pulaik!”
13 And Gid'on said unto him, Pardon, my lord, if the Lord be indeed with us, why then hath all this befallen us? and where are all his wonders of which our fathers have told us, saying, Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt! But now the Lord hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hand of Midian.
Na Gideon el fahk nu sel, “Oasr sie ma nga kena siyuk sum. LEUM GOD El fin wi kut, efu ku ma inge sikyak ouinge nu sesr— Pia sruhk ma wowo mwet matu lasr meet ah tuh srumun nu sesr mu LEUM GOD El tuh oru wo nu selos ke El tuh usalosme liki acn Egypt ah— Pacl inge LEUM GOD El siskutla ac filikuti ye poun mwet Midian inge.”
14 And the Lord turned toward him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: behold, I have sent thee.
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Gideon, “Fahsrot ke ku lom kewa, ac molela mwet Israel liki mwet Midian. Nga pa supwekom uh.”
15 And he said unto him, Pardon my Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? behold, my family is the weakest in Menasseh, and I am the youngest of my father's house.
Ac Gideon el topuk ac fahk, “O LEUM GOD, nga ac molela Israel fuka— Ota luk uh pa munas emeet ke sruf lal Manasseh, ac nga pa pilasr emeet in sou luk uh.”
16 And the Lord said unto him, Because I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man.
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel, “Kom ku in oru mweyen nga ac fah kasrekom. Kom ac fah itungya mwet Midian inge arulana fisrasr, oana in mwet sefanna.”
17 And he said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy eyes, then give me a sign that thou hast been speaking with me;
Ac Gideon el topuk, “Nga fin ohi sum, nga siyuk tuh kom in ase sie mwe akul in akpwayeye lah kom pa LEUM GOD.
18 Depart not hence, I pray thee, until I come unto thee, and bring forth my present, and set it before thee. And he said, I will tarry until thy return.
Nunak munas, nikmet som nwe ke nga use kutu mwe mongo nu sum.” Na lipufan sac fahk, “Nga ac mutana nwe ke kom foloko.”
19 And Gid'on went in, and made ready a kid, and unleavened cakes of an ephah of flour: the flesh he put in a basket, and the broth he put in a pot, and brought it out unto him under the oak, and presented it.
Na Gideon el som nu in lohm sel ah, ac akmolyela nani fusr soko, ac el eis sie bushel in flao ac munanla bread wangin mwe pulol kac. El sang ikwa sac nu in fotoh se ac sup ah nu in tup se, ac use ma inge nu yurin lipufan lun LEUM GOD su muta ye sak oak soko ah, ac el sang nu sel tuh elan mongo.
20 And the angel of God said unto him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them upon this rock, and the broth pour out. And he did so.
Ac lipufan sac fahk nu sel, “Filiya ikwa ac bread an fin eot se inge, ac okoaung sup an nu fac.” Gideon el oru oana.
21 Then the angel of the Lord put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and there rose up fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes. And the angel of the Lord departed out of his sight.
Na lipufan lun LEUM GOD el asroela sak soko oan inpaol ah, ac pusralla ikwa ac bread inge ke mutun sak soko ah. Na e se sikyak ke eot sac twe esukak ikwa ac bread inge. Na lipufan sac wanginla.
22 And when Gid'on perceived that it was an angel of the Lord, Gid'on said, Alas, O Lord Eternal! because I have surely seen an angel of the Lord face to face.
Ke ma inge Gideon el akilen lah lipufan lun LEUM GOD pa el liye ah. Na Gideon el sangeng ac fahk, “O LEUM GOD Fulat, nga liye na pwaye lipufan lom — kut angetani sie sin sie!”
23 And the Lord said unto him, Peace be unto thee; fear not: thou shalt not die.
A LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel, “Misla nu sum, ac nikmet sangeng. Kom ac fah tia misa.”
24 And Gid'on built there an altar unto the Lord, and called it Adonay-shalom [[the Eternal of Peace: ]] unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abi'ezrites.
Ac Gideon el etoak sie loang nu sin LEUM GOD in acn sac, ac el pangon loang sac “LEUM GOD El Misla.” (Loang se inge srakna oan Ophrah nwe misenge. Acn sac ma lun ota lal Abiezer.)
25 And it came to pass in the same night, that the Lord said unto him, Take thy father's young bullock, and the second bullock of seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal which belongeth to thy father, and the grove that is around it shalt thou cut down.
In fong sacna LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Gideon, “Eis cow mukul nutin papa tomom an, ac soko pac ma yac itkosr matwa, ac kunausya loang lun Baal su papa tomom el orala, ac pakpakiya ma sruloala kacl god Asherah, su ma oanna siska an.
26 And build an altar unto the Lord thy God upon the top of this rock, on the level place, and take the second bullock, and offer [it as] a burnt-sacrifice with the wood of the grove which thou shalt cut down.
Etoak sie loang na wowo an nu sin LEUM GOD lom fin tohktok se inge. Ac eis cow soko aklukwa ma yac itkosr an, ac oru sie kisa firir an kac, ac etongkin kutkut in sak ma kom pakpakiya ke ma sruloala kacl Asherah.”
27 And Gid'on took ten men of his servants, and did as the Lord had spoken unto him; but it came to pass, because he feared his father's household, and the men of the city, to do it by day, that he did it by night.
Na Gideon el eis mwet singoul sin mwet kulansap lal ac oru oana ma LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel. El arulana sangeng sin sou lal ah, ac sin mwet in siti uh, pwanang el kofla oru ma inge ke len, a el oru ke fong.
28 And when the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was overthrown, and the grove that was around it was cut down, and the second bullock was offered upon the altar which had been built.
Ke mwet in siti uh toang tukakek in lotu tok ah, elos liye tuh loang lal Baal ac ma sruloala kacl Asherah ah musalsalu, ac cow soko aklukwa ah kisakinyuk tari fin loang se su musaiyukyak.
29 And they said one to another, Who hath done this thing? And they inquired and searched, and then said, Gid'on the son of Joash hath done this thing.
Mwet uh asiyuki sie sin sie ac fahk, “Su oru ma se inge?” Elos suk nwe konauk tuh na Gideon, wen natul Joash, pa oru ma sac.
30 Thereupon said the men of the city unto Joash, Bring out thy son, that he may die; because he hath overthrown the altar of Baal, and because he hath cut down the grove that was around it.
Na elos fahk nu sel Joash, “Use wen nutum nu inge tuh kut in unilya! El kunausla loang lal Baal ac pakpakiya ma sruloala lal Asherah su oan siska.”
31 But Joash said unto all that stood around him, Will ye indeed contend for Baal? will ye assist him? he that will contend for him, shall be put to death; [wait] until morning: if he be a god, let him contend for himself, because one hath overthrown his altar.
Ac Joash el fahk nu selos su tuku in lainul, “Ya kowos ac welul Baal lac— Ya kowos ac eis acn sel— Kutena mwet fin welul, el ac fah anwuki meet liki lututang. Baal el fin sie god, lela elan sifacna molella. Ma lal pa loang se ma kunausyukla ah.”
32 And the people called him on that day Yerubba'al, saying, Let Baal contend against him, because he hath overthrown his altar.
Tukun pacl se inge, pangpang Gideon “Jerubbaal,” ke sripen Joash el fahk mu, “Lela Baal elan sifacna molella. Ma lal pa loang se ma kunausyukla ah.”
33 And all the Midianites and 'Amalekites and the children of the east assembled together, and went over and encamped in the valley of Yizre'el.
Na mwet Midian, mwet Amalek, ac mwet yen mwesis uh elos toeni, ac fahsr sasla Infacl Jordan ac tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos ke Infahlfal Jezreel.
34 But the Spirit of the Lord endued Gid'on, and he blew the cornet: and Abi'ezer assembled and followed him.
Ngunin LEUM GOD tuku nu facl Gideon, ac el ukya mwe ukuk uh in pangon mwet in ota lal Abiezer tuh elos in fahsr tokol.
35 And he sent messengers throughout all Menasseh, who also assembled and followed him; and he sent messengers through Asher, and through Zebulun, and through Naphtali, and they came up to meet them.
El supwala mwet utuk kas in fahsr sasla acn lun mwet Manasseh Roto ac mwet Manasseh Kutulap kewa elos in tuku fahsr tokol. El supwala pac mwet utuk kas nu sin sruf lal Asher ac Zebulun ac Naphtali, na elos tuku pac welul.
36 And Gid'on said unto God, If thou wilt save Israel by my hand, as thou hast spoken,
Na Gideon el fahk nu sin LEUM GOD, “Kom fahk mu kom suleyula tuh kom in orekmakinyu in molela mwet Israel.
37 Behold, I set up this fleece of wool in the threshing floor: if now there be dew on the fleece alone, and it be dry upon all the ground, then shall I know that thou wilt save Israel by my hand, as thou hast spoken.
Liye, nga ac filiya kutu unen sheep fin fohk uh in nien kulkul wheat uh. Lututang nga fah liye, fin oasr aunfong ke unen sheep uh a wangin fin fohk uh, na nga fah etu lah pwaye kom ac orekmakinyu in molela mwet Israel.”
38 And it was so; and when he rose up early on the morrow, he squeezed the fleece together, and wrung dew out of the fleece, [making] a bowl full of water.
Na sikyak oana ma el siyuk ah. Ke Gideon el toang tukakek in lotu tok ah, el fulala unac sac na kof kac ah nwakla pol se.
39 And Gid'on said unto God, Let not thy anger be kindled against me, and I will speak but this once [more]; let me have a proof, I pray thee, but this once more with the fleece; let it, I pray, be dry upon the fleece alone, and upon all the ground let there be dew.
Na Gideon el fahk nu sin God, “Nikmet mulat sik, mweyen nga ke fahkak pac sie ma. Nunak munas, lela nu sik tuh nga in srike siyuk sie pac ma ke unen sheep uh. Ke pacl se inge, oru tuh unen sheep uh in pao, ac fin fohk uh in sroksrok.”
40 And God did so that night; and it was dry upon the fleece alone, and on all the ground there was dew.
Ke fong sac God El oru oana. Ke lututang ah unen sheep sac pao na, a fin fohk uh sroksrok ke aunfong.
