Judges 8
1 And the men of Ephraim said unto him, What is this thing that thou hast done unto us, not to call for us, when thou wentest to fight with the Midianites? And they quarrelled with him vehemently.
Ary hoy ny lehilahy amin’ ny Efraima tamin’ i Gideona: Ahoana izao zavatra nataonao taminay izao, no tsy nantsoinao izahay, raha nandeha hiady tamin’ ny Midiana ianao? Dia nanome tsiny azy mafy ireo.
2 And he said unto them, What have I done now in comparison with you? Is not the gleaning of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abi'ezer?
Fa hoy Gideona taminy: Zinona izao nataoko izao, raha oharina amin’ izay nataonareo? Tsy tsara va ny fitsimponam-boalobok’ i Efraima noho ny fiotazam-boalobok’ i Abiezera?
3 Into your hand God delivered the princes of Midian, 'Oreb and Zeeb: and what have I been able to do in comparison with you? Then was their anger abated from him, when he had spoken this speech.
Teo an-tananareo no nanoloran’ Andriamanitra ny andrianan’ ny Midiana, dia Oreba sy Zeba; ary inona no azoko atao, raha oharina amin’ ny nataonareo? Ary rehefa nilaza izany teny izany Gideona, dia nitony ny fahatezeran’ ireo taminy.
4 And Gid'on came to the Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, and in pursuit.
Ary Gideona nankany Jordana, ka nita izy sy ny telon-jato lahy teo aminy, na dia efa reraka aza, mbola nanenjika ihany.
5 And he said unto the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, a few loaves of bread unto the people that are in my train; for they are faint, and I am pursuing after Zebach and Zalmunna,' the kings of Midian.
Ary hoy izy tamin’ ny mponina tao Sokota: Masìna ianareo, mba omeo mofo ny olona manaraka ahy, fa reraka izy, ary izaho manenjika an’ i Zebaha sy Zalmona, mpanjakan’ ny Midiana.
6 And the princes of Succoth said, Is the sole of the foot of Zebach and Zalmunna' now already in thy hand, that we should give unto thy army bread?
Fa hoy ireo andrianan’ i Sokota: Moa efa voahazon’ ny tananao ankehitriny va ny tànan’ i Zebaha sy Zalmona, no homenay mofo ny miaramilamao?
7 And Gid'on said, Therefore when the Lord hath delivered Zebach and Zalmunna' into my hand, then will I thresh your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.
Dia hoy Gideona: Rehefa voatolotr’ i Jehovah eo an-tanako Zehaba sy Zalmona, dia handalasiko amin’ ny tsilo avy any an-efitra sy ny sampivato ny tenanareo.
8 And he went up thence to Penuel, and spoke unto them in the same manner: and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered.
Ary niakatra avy teo izy ka nankany Penoela, dia nanao teny tahaka izany koa tamin’ ny olona tao; ary ny mponina tao Penoela koa dia namaly azy tahaka ny navalin’ ny mponina tao Sokota ihany.
9 And he said also unto the men of Penuel thus, When I return again in peace, I will break down this tower.
Dia niteny tamin’ ny mponina tao Penoela izy ka nanao hoe: Raha tafaverina soa aman-tsara aho, dia horavako ity tilikambo ity.
10 Now Zebach and Zalmunna' were in Karkor, and their camps with them, about fifteen thousand men, all that had been left of all the camp of the children of the east; but those who had fallen were one hundred and twenty thousand men that drew the sword.
Ary Zebaha sy Zalmona dia tonga tao Karkora mbamin’ ny miaramila teo aminy tokony ho dimy arivo sy iray alin-dahy, dia izay sisa rehetra tamin’ ny miaramila rehetra an’ ny zanaky ny atsinanana; ary ny maty kosa dia roa alina sy iray hetsy, samy lehilahy mpitan-tsabatra avokoa ireo.
11 And Gid'on went up by the way of those that dwelt in tents, to the east of Nobach and Yogbehah, and smote the camp; but the camp thought itself secure.
Ary Gideona niakatra tamin’ ny lalan’ ny mpitoetra an-day, atsinanan’ i Noha sy Jogbeha, ka dia namely ny toby, raha mbola ilay tsy nanampo iny ny olona.
12 And Zebach and Zalmunna' fled; but he pursued after them, and captured the two kings of Midian, Zebach and Zalmunna', and all the camp he discomfited.
Dia nandositra Zebaha sy Zalmona, ary nanenjika azy ny Isiraely ka nisambotra ny mpanjaka roa tamin’ ny Midiana, dia Zebaha sy Zalmona, fa efa nampihorohoroiny avokoa ny toby rehetra.
13 And Gid'on the son of Joash returned from the battle before the rising of the sun,
Dia niverina avy tamin’ ny ady Gideona, zanak’ i Joasy, avy teo amin’ ny fiakarana Heresa;
14 And he caught a young man of the people of Succoth, and inquired of him: and he wrote down for him the princes of Succoth, and the elders thereof, seventy and seven men.
ary nisambotra zatovo tamin’ ny mponina tao Sokota izy ka nanontany azy; dia nosoratan’ ilay zatovo ny anaran’ ireo andrianan’ i Sokota sy ny loholona tao, ka fito amby fito-polo lahy izy.
15 And he came unto the men of Succoth, and said, Behold here are Zebach and Zalmunna', with whom ye derided me, saying, Is the sole of the foot of Zebach and Zalmunna' now already in thy hand, that we should give unto thy weary men bread?
Ary Gideona dia nankany amin’ ny mponina tao Sokota ka nanao hoe: Indreo Zebaha sy Zalmona, izay efa nandatsanareo ahy hoe: Moa efa voahazon’ ny tananao ankehitriny va ny tànan’ i Zebaha sy Zalmona, no homenay mofo ny olonao efa reraka?
16 And he took the elders of the city, and the thorns of the wilderness and briers, and chastised with them the men of Succoth.
Dia naka ny loholona tao an-tanàna izy ary tsilo avy tany an-efitra sy sampivato, ka ireny no namaizany ny mponina tao Sokota.
17 And the tower of Penuel he beat down, and slew the men of the city.
Ary nandrava ny tilikambo tao Penoela koa izy ka namono ny lehilahy tao an-tanàna.
18 And he said unto Zebach and Zalmunna', What kind of men were those whom ye slew at Tabor! And they answered, As thou art, so were they; one was in form like that of the children of a king.
Dia hoy izy tamin’ i Zebaha sy Zalmona: Lehilahy toy inona ange izay novonoinareo tany Tabara? Ary hoy izy roa lahy: Tahaka anao ihany izy. Nitarehin-janak’ andriana avokoa izy rehetra.
19 And he said, They were my brothers, the sons of my mother; as the Lord liveth, if ye had spared them alive, I would not slay you.
Ary hoy izy: Rahalahiko, zanaky ny reniko ireo. Raha velona koa Jehovah, dia tsy mba hovonoiko ianareo, raha novelominareo ireo.
20 And he said unto Yether his first-born, Rise up, and slay them. But the youth drew not his sword; for he was afraid, because he was yet a youth.
Ary hoy izy tamin’ i Jatera lahimatoany: Mitsangàna, ka vonoy izy roa lahy. Fa ilay zatovo tsy nanatsoaka ny sabany, fa natahotra, satria mbola tanora fanahy izy.
21 Then said Zebach and Zalmunna', Rise thou, and fall upon us; for as the man is, so is his strength. And Gid'on arose, and slew Zebach and Zalmunna'; and he took away the crescent ornaments that were on the necks of their camels.
Ary hoy Zebaha sy Zalmona: Aoka ianao no hitsangana hamely anay; fa araka ny toetry ny olona ihany ny heriny. Dia nitsangana Gideona ka namono an’ i Zebaha sy Zalmona ary naka ny ravaka sarim-bolan-tsinana, izay teo amin’ ny vozon’ ny ramevany.
22 And the men of Israel said unto Gid'on, Rule thou over us, both thou and thy son, and thy son's son also; for thou hast delivered us out of the hand of Midian.
Dia hoy ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely tamin’ i Gideona: Manapaha anay ianao sy ny zanakao ary ny zafinao; fa efa namonjy anay tamin’ ny tanan’ ny Midiana ianao.
23 And Gid'on said unto them, I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you: the Lord shall rule over you.
Fa hoy Gideona taminy: Tsy hanapaka anareo aho, ary tsy hanapaka anareo koa ny zanako; Jehovah ihany no hanapaka anareo.
24 And Gid'on said unto them, I would ask one request of you, that ye should give me every man the earring of his booty; for they had had golden earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.
Ary hoy koa Gideona taminy: Zavatra iray loha monja no hany mba angatahiko aminareo; aoka samy hanome ahy ny kavina izay avy amin’ ny babony avy ianareo (fa nanana kavim-bolamena ireny, satria Isimaelita).
25 And they answered, We will willingly give. And they spread out a garment, and they cast therein every man the earring of his booty.
Dia hoy kosa ny olona: Eny, fa homenay tokoa izany. Dia namelatra lamba ny olona, ka samy nanipy ny kavina izay avy tamin’ ny babony teo.
26 And the weight of the golden earrings that he had requested was a thousand and seven hundred shekels of gold; besides the crescent ornaments, and ear-drops, and purple garments that were on the kings of Midian, and besides the chains that were about their camels' necks.
Ary ny lanjan’ ny kavim-bolamena nangatahiny dia sekely volamena fiton-jato amby arivo, afa-tsy ny ravaka sarim-bolan-tsinana sy ny kavina voavola sy ny lamba volomparasy, izay teny amin’ ireo mpanjakan’ ny Midiana, ary ny rojo, izay teny amin’ ny vozon’ ny ramevany.
27 And Gid'on made thereof an ephod, and set it up in his city, in 'Ophrah: and all Israel went astray after it thither; and it became a snare unto Gid'on, and to his house.
Dia nataon’ i Gideona efoda ireo, ka nataony tao an-tanànany, dia tao Ofra; ary ny Isiraely rehetra nankany nijangajanga nanaraka izany efoda izany; ary tonga fandrika tamin’ i Gideona sy ny ankohonany izany.
28 And Midian was humbled before the children of Israel, so that they lifted not up their head any more. And the country was quiet forty years in the days of Gid'on.
Dia resy teo anoloan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ny Midiana ka tsy nahatraka ny lohany intsony. Dia nandry efa-polo taona ny tany tamin’ ny andron’ i Gideona.
29 And Yerubba'al the son of Joash went and dwelt in his own house.
Dia nandeha Jerobala, zanak’ i Joasy, ka nitoetra tao an-tranony.
30 And Gid'on had seventy sons begotten of his body; for he had many wives.
Ary Gideona nanan-janaka fito-polo lahy izay naterany: fa maro vady izy.
31 And his concubine that was in Shechem, she also bore him a son, and he gave him the name, Abimelech.
Ary ny vaditsindranony, izay tany Sekema, dia niteraka zazalahy taminy koa, ka ny anarany nataony hoe Abimeleka.
32 And Gid'on the son of Joash died in a good old age, and was buried in the sepulchre of Joash his father, in 'Ophrah of the Abi'ezrites.
Dia maty Gideona, zanak’ i Joasy, rehefa tratrantitra tsara, ka nalevina tao amin’ ny fasan’ i Joasy rainy tao Ofran’ ny Abiezrita izy.
33 And it came to pass, when Gid'on was dead, that the children of Israel turned again, and went astray after the Be'alim, and made themselves Ba'al-berith for a god.
Ary rehefa maty Gideona, dia nijangajanga nanaraka ireo Bala indray ny Zanak’ Isiraely ka nanao an’ i Bala-berita ho andriamaniny.
34 And the children of Israel remembered not the Lord their God, who delivered them out of the hand of all their enemies on every side.
Ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely tsy nahatsiaro an’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny, Izay efa namonjy azy tamin’ ny tanan’ ny fahavalony rehetra nanodidina,
35 Neither showed they kindness to the house of Yerubba'al, namely, Gid'on, in accordance with all the good which he had done unto Israel.
sady tsy nanao soa tamin’ ny taranak’ i Jerobala (na Gideona), araka izay soa rehetra nataon’ i Gideona tamin’ ny Isiraely, izy.
