< Judges 6 >

1 And the sons of Israel do evil in the eyes of YHWH, and YHWH gives them into the hand of Midian [for] seven years,
Inaramid dagiti tattao ti Israel ti dakes iti imatang ni Yahweh, ket inkabilna ida iti turay ti Midian iti pito a tawen.
2 and the hand of Midian is strong against Israel, [so] the sons of Israel have made for themselves the nooks which [are] in the mountains, and the caves, and the strongholds [to hide] from the presence of Midian.
Pinarigat ti pannakabalin ti Midian ti Israel. Gapu iti Midian, nagaramid dagiti tattao ti Israel iti pagkamanganda kadagiti gukayab iti turturod, kadagiti rukib, ken kadagiti sarikedked.
3 And it has been, if Israel has sowed, that Midian has come up, and Amalek, and the sons of the east, indeed, they have come up against him,
Napasamak a tunggal agmula dagiti Israelita, rauten ida dagiti Midianita ken Amalekita ken dagiti tattao manipud iti daya.
4 and encamp against them, and destroy the increase of the land until your entering Gaza; and they leave no sustenance in Israel, either sheep, or ox, or donkey;
Agkampo ti armadada iti daga ket dadaelenda dagiti mulada, agingga idiay Gaza. Awan ti ibatida a taraon iti Israel, ken awan ti karnero, baka man wenno dagiti asno.
5 for they and their livestock come up, with their tents; they come in as the fullness of the locust for multitude, and of them and of their livestock there is no number, and they come into the land to destroy it.
Tunggal sumang-atda ken dagiti tarakenda ken dagiti toldada, umayda a kasla pangen dagiti dudon, ket saan a mabilang dagiti tattao man wenno dagiti kamelioda. Sinakupda ti daga tapno dadaelenda daytoy.
6 And Israel is very weak from the presence of Midian, and the sons of Israel cry to YHWH.
Nakaro iti panangpapanglaw ti Midian kadagiti Israelita isu nga immawag dagiti tattao ti Israel kenni Yahweh.
7 And it comes to pass, when the sons of Israel have cried to YHWH concerning Midian,
Idi immawag dagiti tattao ti israel kenni Yahweh gapu iti Midian,
8 that YHWH sends a man, a prophet, to the sons of Israel, and he says to them, “Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: I have brought you up out of Egypt, and I bring you out from a house of servants,
nangibaon ni Yahweh iti profeta kadagiti tattao ti Israel. Kinuna ti profeta kadakuada, “Kastoy ti ibagbaga ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel: 'Inruarkayo manipud Egipto; inruarkayo manipud iti balay ti pannakatagabu.
9 and I deliver you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all your oppressors, and I cast them out from your presence, and I give their land to you,
Inispalkayo manipud iti pannakabalin dagiti Egiptio, ken manipud iti pannakabalin dagiti amin a nangparparigat kadakayo. Pinapanawko ida iti sangoananyo, ket intedko kadakayo ti dagada.
10 and I say to you, I [am] your God YHWH, you do not fear the gods of the Amorite in whose land you are dwelling—and you have not listened to My voice.”
Kinunak kadakayo, “Siak ni Yahweh a Diosyo; Binilinkayo a saankayo nga agrukbab kadagiti dios dagiti Amorreo, a makindaga iti pagnanaedanyo.” Ngem saankayo a nagtulnog iti timekko.'”
11 And the Messenger of YHWH comes and sits under the oak which [is] in Ophrah, which [is] to Joash the Abi-Ezrite, and his son Gideon is beating out wheat in the winepress, to remove [it] from the presence of the Midianites;
Ita, immay ti anghel ni Yahweh ket nagtugaw iti sirok ti kayo a lugo idiay Ofra, a kukua ni Joas (nga Abiezerita), kabayatan a ni Gideon a putot a lalaki ni Joas ket agir-irik babaen iti panangibaotna iti daytoy iti daga, idiay pagpespesan ti arak—tapno ilemmeng daytoy kadagiti Midianita.
12 and the Messenger of YHWH appears to him and says to him, “YHWH [is] with you, O mighty man of valor.”
Nagparang ti anghel ni Yahweh kenkuana ket kinunana, “Adda ni Yahweh kenka, sika a nabileg a mannakigubat!”
13 And Gideon says to Him, “O my Lord, [if] YHWH is indeed with us, then why has all this found us? And where [are] all His wonders which our fathers recounted to us, saying, Has YHWH not brought us up out of Egypt? And now YHWH has left us, and gives us into the hand of Midian.”
Kinuna ni Gideon kenkuana, “O, apok, no adda ni Yahweh kadakami, apay ngarud a napasamak amin daytoy kadakami? Sadino ti ayan dagiti amin a nakakaskasdaaw nga aramidna nga imbaga dagiti ammami kadakami, idi kinunada, 'Saan kadi nga inruarnatayo ni Yahweh manipud Egipto?' Ngem ita, binaybay-annakami ni Yahweh ken inyawatnakami iti pannakabalin ti Midian.”
14 And YHWH turns to him and says, “Go in this—your power; and you have saved Israel out of the hand of Midian—have I not sent you?”
Kimmita ni Yahweh kenkuana ket kinunana, “Mapanka iti daytoy a pigsa nga adda kenka. Ispalem ti Israel manipud iti pannakabalin dagiti Midianita. Saanka kadi nga imbaon?”
15 And he says to Him, “O my Lord, with what do I save Israel? Behold, my chief [is] weak in Manasseh, and I [am] the least in the house of my father.”
Kinuna ni Gideon kenkuana, “Pangaasim, Apo, kasano a maispalko ti Israel? Kitaem, ti pamiliak ti kakapuyan iti Manases, ket siak ti kanunumoan iti balay ti amak.”
16 And YHWH says to him, “Because I am with you—you have struck the Midianites as one man.”
Kinuna ni Yahweh kenkuana, “Addaakto kenka, ket parmekemto ti entero nga armada dagiti Midianita.”
17 And he says to Him, “Now if I have found grace in Your eyes, then You have done a sign for me that You are speaking with me.
Kinuna ni Gideon kenkuana, “No maay-ayoka kaniak, ikkannak ngarud iti pagilasinan a sika iti makisarsarita kaniak.
18 Please do not move from here until my coming to You, and I have brought out my present, and put it before You”; and He says, “I abide until your return.”
Pangaasim, saanka a pumanaw ditoy agingga nga agsubliak kenka ken iyegko ti sagutko ket idatagko iti sangoanam.” Kinuna ni Yahweh, “Agurayak agingga nga agsublika.”
19 And Gideon has gone in, and prepares a kid of the goats, and an ephah of flour [worth] of unleavened things; he has put the flesh in a basket, and he has put the broth in a pot, and he brings [them] out to Him, to the place of the oak, and brings [them] near.
Napan ni Gideon ket nagparti iti urbon a kalding ken nagluto iti tinapay nga awan lebadurana manipud iti maysa nga efa ti arina. Inkabilna ti karne iti basket, ken inkabilna ti digo iti banga ket indatagna dagitoy kenkuana iti sirok ti kayo a lugo.
20 And the Messenger of God says to him, “Take the flesh and the unleavened things, and place [them] on this rock—and pour out the broth”; and he does so.
Kinuna ti anghel ti Dios kenkuana, “Alaem ti karne ken ti tinapay nga awan lebadurana ket iparabawmo dagitoy iti daytoy a bato, ken ibukbokmo ti digo kadagitoy.” Ket inaramid ngarud ni Gideon dayta.
21 And the Messenger of YHWH puts forth the end of the staff which [is] in His hand, and comes against the flesh, and against the unleavened things, and the fire goes up out of the rock and consumes the flesh and the unleavened things—and the Messenger of YHWH has gone from his eyes.
Ket inggaw-at ti anghel ni Yahweh ti murdong ti sarukod nga iggemna. Babaen iti daytoy, sinagidna ti lasag ken ti tinapay nga awan lebadurana; rimmuar ti apuy manipud iti bato ket pinuoranna ti karne ken ti tinapay nga awan lebadurana. Kalpasanna, pimmanaw ti anghel ni Yahweh ket saanen a makita ni Gideon isuna.
22 And Gideon sees that He [is] the Messenger of YHWH, and Gideon says, “Aah, Lord YHWH! For so I have looked on the Messenger of YHWH face to face!”
Naamiris ni Gideon a daytoy ti anghel ni Yahweh. Kinuna ni Gideon, “O, Yahweh nga Apo! Ta nakitak ti anghel ni Yahweh iti rupanrupa!”
23 And YHWH says to him, “Peace to you; do not fear; you do not die.”
Kinuna ni Yahweh kenkuana, “Kappia kenka! Saanka nga agbuteng, saanka a matay.”
24 And Gideon builds an altar to YHWH there, and calls it YHWH-Shalom, it [is] yet in Ophrah of the Abi-Ezrites to this day.
Nangipatakder ngarud ni Gideon iti altar sadiay para kenni Yahweh. Inawaganna daytoy iti, ni Yahweh ket Talna. Agingga kadagitoy nga aldaw, nakatakder pay laeng daytoy idiay Ofra iti puli ti Abi Ezer.
25 And it comes to pass, on that night, that YHWH says to him, “Take the young ox which your father has, and the second bullock of seven years, and you have thrown down the altar of Ba‘al which your father has, and cut down the Asherah which [is] by it,
Iti dayta a rabii, kinuna ni Yahweh kenkuana, “Alaem ti bulog a baka ti amam, ken ti maikadua a bulog a baka nga agtawen iti pito, ket rebbaem ti altar ni Baal a kukua ti amam, ken putdem ti Asera nga adda iti abayna daytoy.
26 and you have built an altar to your God YHWH on the top of this stronghold, by the arrangement, and have taken the second bullock, and caused a burnt-offering to ascend with the wood of the Asherah which you cut down.”
Mangipatakderka iti altar ni Yahweh a Diosmo iti tuktok daytoy a lugar a pagkamangan, ken aramidem daytoy iti umno a wagas. Idatonmo ti maikadua a bulog a baka kas daton a maipuor amin, usarem ti kayo manipud iti Asera a pinutedmo.”
27 And Gideon takes ten men of his servants, and does as YHWH has spoken to him, and it comes to pass, because he has been afraid of the house of his father, and the men of the city, to do [it] by day, that he does [it] by night.
Nangayab ngarud ni Gideon iti sangapulo kadagiti adipenna ket inaramidna kas imbaga ni Yahweh kenkuana. Ngem inaramidna daytoy iti rabii saan nga iti aldaw gapu ta mabuteng unay isuna iti sangkabalayan ti amana ken kadagiti tattao iti ili.
28 And the men of the city rise early in the morning, and behold, the altar of Ba‘al has been broken down, and the Asherah which is by it has been cut down, and the second bullock has been offered on the altar which is built.
Kabigatanna, idi bimmangon dagiti tattao iti ili, narebban ti altar ni Baal, ken naputeden ti Asera nga adda iti abayna daytoy ket naidatonen ti maikadua a bulog a baka iti altar a naipatakder.
29 And they say to one another, “Who has done this thing?” And they inquire and seek, and they say, “Gideon son of Joash has done this thing.”
Kinuna dagiti tattao iti siudad iti tunggal maysa, “Siasino ti nangaramid iti daytoy?” Idi nakisaritada kadagiti dadduma ken nangsapulda iti sungbat, kinunada, “Ni Gideon a putot a lalaki ni Joas ti nangaramid iti daytoy a banag.”
30 And the men of the city say to Joash, “Bring out your son, and he dies, because he has broken down the altar of Ba‘al, and because he has cut down the Asherah which [is] by it.”
Ket kinuna dagiti tattao ti ili kenni Joas, “Iruarmo ti putotmo tapno mapapatay isuna, gapu ta rinebbana ti altar ni Baal, ken gapu ta pinutedna ti Asera nga adda iti abayna daytoy.”
31 And Joash says to all who have stood against him, “You, do you plead for Ba‘al? You—do you save him? He who pleads for him is put to death during the morning; if he [is] a god he pleads against him himself, because he has broken down his altar.”
Kinuna ni Joas kadagiti amin a mangtubtubngar kenkuana, “Ipakaasiyo kadi ti napasamak kenni Baal? Isalakanyo kadi isuna? Siasinoman a mangipakaasi iti napasamak kenkuana, mapapatay koma kabayatan a nasapa pay. No maysa a dios ni Baal, ikanawana koma ti bagina no adda mangrebba iti altarna.”
32 And he calls him, on that day, Jerubba‘al, saying, “The Ba‘al pleads against him, because he has broken down his altar.”
Iti dayta nga aldaw, napanaganan ngarud ni Gideon iti “Jerub Baal,” gapu ta kinunana, “Ikanawa koma ni Baal ti bagina maibusor kenkuana,” gapu ta rinebba ni Gideon ti altarna.
33 And all Midian and Amalek and the sons of the east have been gathered together, and pass over, and encamp in the Valley of Jezreel,
Ita, nagmaymaysa a nagu-ummong dagiti Midianita, Amalekita, ken dagiti tattao iti daya. Binallasiwda ti Jordan ket nagkampoda idiay tanap ti Jezreel.
34 and the Spirit of YHWH has clothed Gideon, and he blows with a horn, and Abi-Ezer is called after him;
Ngem kinaluban ti Espiritu ni Yahweh ni Gideon tapno tulunganna isuna. Pinaguni ni Gideon ti trumpeta, ay-ayabanna ti tribu ti Abi Ezer, tapno mabalin a sumurotda kenkuana.
35 and he has sent messengers into all Manasseh, and it is also called after him; and he has sent messengers into Asher, and into Zebulun, and into Naphtali, and they come up to meet them.
Nangibaon isuna kadagiti mensahero a mapan iti entero a Manases, ket naayabanda met a sumurot kenkuana. Nangibaon met isuna kadagiti mensahero iti Aser, Zabulon, ken Neftali, ket simmang-atda a sumabat kenkuana.
36 And Gideon says to God, “If You are Savior of Israel by my hand, as You have spoken,
Kinuna ni Gideon iti Dios, “No gandatmo iti mangusar kaniak a mangisalakan iti Israel a kas iti kinunam—
37 behold, I am placing the fleece of wool in the threshing-floor: if dew is only on the fleece, and dryness on all the earth—then I have known that You save Israel by my hand, as You have spoken”;
Kitaem, mangikabilak iti dutdot iti pagir-irikan. No addanto laeng linnaaw iti dutdot ket namaga ti amin a daga, ket maammoakto nga usarennak a mangisalakan iti Israel a kas iti kinunam.”
38 and it is so, and he rises early on the next day, and presses the fleece, and wrings dew out of the fleece—the fullness of the bowl of waters.
Daytoy ti napasamak— nasapa a bimmangon ni Gideon iti simmaruno a bigat, inummongna ti dutdot ket pinepesna ti linnaaw manipud iti dutdot, umanay a nangpunno iti maysa a mallukong.
39 And Gideon says to God, “Do not let Your anger burn against me, and I only speak this time; please let me try only this time with the fleece—please let there be only dryness on the fleece, and let there be dew on all the earth.”
Kalpasanna, kinuna ni Gideon iti Dios, “Saanka a makaunget kaniak, agsao-ak pay iti maminsan. Pangaasim ta palubosam iti maysa pay a pammaneknek kaniak babaen iti dutdot. Iti daytoy a tiempo, pagbalinem a namaga ti dutdot, ken maadda koma ti linnaaw iti amin a daga iti aglawlawna daytoy.”
40 And God does so on that night, and there is only dryness on the fleece, and there has been dew on all the earth.
Inaramid ti Dios ti dinawatna iti dayta a rabii. Namaga ti dutdot, ken adda linnaaw iti amin a daga iti aglawlawna.
