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,
Ie amy zao nanao haratiañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà o ana’ Israeleo, naho nitolora’ Iehovà am-pità’ i Midiane fito taoñe.
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.
Le nitan-kagàñe am’ Israele ty fità’ o nte-Midianeo kanao nihaly lakato ambohitsey naho kobom-pipalirañe ty amo nte-Midianeo o ana’ Israeleo.
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,
Amy te, ie vata’e nitongy o ana’ Israeleo, le nionjomb’eo o nte-Midianeo naho o nte-Amalekeo vaho o anan-tatiñanañeo haname iareo,
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;
hitobea’e, hampiantoe’e ty voka’ i tane’ Israeley pak’ Azà añe, le tsy apo’ iareo e Israele ao ty hahaveloñe añondry ndra añombe ndra borìke.
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.
Ie nionjoñe mb’eo reketse hare naho kibohotse ami’ty havalobohò’e hoe valala, ie naho o rameva’ iareo tsy nihay iaheñeo, te nimoak’ an-tane ao hamongots’ aze.
6 And Israel is very weak from the presence of Midian, and the sons of Israel cry to YHWH.
Nampifotsake Israele ambane ty Midiane; vaho nikoaik’ am’ Iehovà o ana’ Israeleo.
7 And it comes to pass, when the sons of Israel have cried to YHWH concerning Midian,
Aa ie nitoreove’ o ana’ Israeleo am’ Iehovà i Midiane,
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,
le nañitrifa’ Iehovà mpitoky o ana’ Israeleo, le hoe re am’ iereo, Hoe ty tsara’ Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ Israele; Nakareko boake Mitsraime añe nahareo vaho nampionjoneko hirik’ an-trañom-pañondevozañe ao;
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,
le nivotsorako am-pità’ o nte-Mitsraimeo, naho am-pità’ o namorekekeo naho nataoko soik’ añatrefa’ areo vaho natoloko anahareo o tane’eo.
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.”
Aa hoe ty asako ama’ areo: Izaho Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo; ko añeveña’ areo o ‘ndraharen-te-Amoreo, ie mimoneñe an-tane’e ao, fe tsy hinao’ areo ty feoko.
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;
Aa le nivotrake eo ty anjeli’ Iehovà niambesatse ambane’ ty kile’ Ioase nte-Abiezere e Ofrà añe; namofoke vare-bolè ampipiritan-divay ao t’i Gidone ana’e haeta’e amo nte-Midianeo.
12 and the Messenger of YHWH appears to him and says to him, “YHWH [is] with you, O mighty man of valor.”
Niheo ama’e i anjeli’ Iehovày, le nanoe’e ty hoe: Ama’o t’Iehovà ry fanalolahio.
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.”
Le hoe t’i Gidone ama’e, O Talèko, kanao ama’ay t’Iehovà, ino ty nametsaha’e ze he’e zao? Aa vaho aia iaby o raha tsitantane’e natalilin-droae’ay ama’aio, ami’ty hoe: Tsy nakare’ Iehovà boake Mitsraime añe hao tika? fe naforintse’ Iehovà henaneo, vaho nasese’e am-pità’ o nte-Midianeo.
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?”
Nitolik’ ama’e t’Iehovà nanao ty hoe: Akia ami’ty haozara’o hañaha Israele am-pità’ i Midiane; tsy fa niraheko?
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.”
Le hoe re tama’e: O Talèko, akore ty haharombahako Israele? hehe te boroka amy Menasè o taminga’aio vaho tsitso’e añ’ anjomban-draeko iraho.
16 And YHWH says to him, “Because I am with you—you have struck the Midianites as one man.”
Le hoe t’Iehovà ama’e. Toe ho ama’o iraho, le ho lafae’o hoe ondaty raike o nte-Midianeo.
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.
Aa le hoe ty natoi’e aze: Aa ie nahaoni-palalàñe am-pivazohoa’o eo, ehe toloro viloñe te Ihe ro nitsara amako.
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.”
Ehe, ko mienga atoy, ampara’ te harineako, hibanabana naho hanjotsoako. Le hoe re, ho liñasako ty fibali’o.
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.
Aa le nimoak’ ao t’i Gidone, nañalankañe vik’ ose naho mofo tsy aman-dalivay ami’ty mona’e efà raike; napo’e an-karoñe ao i henay naho am-pinga-kodoboñe ao i ro’ey naho nibanabanae’e ambane’ i kiley vaho nazotso’e.
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.
Aa hoe i anjeli’ Iehovày ama’e, Rambeso o henao naho o mofo pisakeo vaho apoho amo vato tiañe le adoaño ama’e ty ro’e. Aa le nanoe’e.
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.
Natondro’ i anjeli’ Iehovà mb’ ama’e i kobay am-pità’ey le natsovo’e i henay naho i mofo tsy aman-dalivaiy, le nisolebotse boak’ amy vatoy ty afo namorototo i henay naho i mofo pisakey. Nienga am-pahaoniña’e amy zao t’Iehovà.
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!”
Aa le nioni’ i Gidone t’ie anjeli’ Iehovà; le hoe t’i Gidone, Hoy abey! ry Talè Iehovà! te izaho nahatrea ty laharan’ anjeli’ Iehovà, tarehe naho laharañe.
23 And YHWH says to him, “Peace to you; do not fear; you do not die.”
Le hoe t’Iehovà ama’e: Fanintsiñañe ama’o; ko hemban-drehe fa tsy hihomake.
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.
Nandranjy kitrely ho am’ Iehovà eo t’i Gidone vaho natao’e Iehovà-salome ty añara’e; ie e Ofrà’ o nte-Abiezeo henaneo.
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,
Ie amy haleñey, le nitsara’ Iehovà ty hoe: Andrambeso bania raike ami’ty anjomban-drae’o naho añombe fito-ay ho faharoe’e, le afetsaho ambane i kitreli’ i Baale aman-drae’oy vaho firao i Aserà marine azey;
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.”
le mandrajia kitrely ambone’ o lamilamio amy Iehovà Andrianañahare’o, am-pilahara’e do’e naho rambeso i añombelahy faharoey vaho engao am-pisoroñañe amy hataen’ Aserà finira’oy.
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.
Aa le rinambe’ i Gidone ty lahilahy folo amo mpitoro’eo vaho nanoe’e i tsinara’ Iehovày. Fe nihembañe tsy nimete nanoe’e antoandro ty amy anjomban-drae’ey naho ty am’ ondati’ i rovaio, fa nanoe’e haleñe.
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.
Aa ie nitroatse maraindraiñe ondati’ i rovaio, hehe te nirotsak’ ambane ty kitreli’ i Baale, naho finira ka i Aserà marine azey, vaho fa nisoroñañe amy kitrely niranjieñey i añombelahy faharoey.
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.”
Le hoe ty nifanoa’ iereo: Ia ty nanao o raha zao? Aa naho nañontane iereo, le hoe ty asa’e: Sata’ i Gidone ana’ Ioase zao.
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.”
Aa le hoe ty asa’ ondati’ i rovaio am’ Ioase; Akaro i ana’oy, havetrake; amy te rinotsa’e ty kitreli’ i Baale; vaho finira’e i Aserà marine azey.
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.”
Aa le hoe t’Ioase amo nijohañe ama’eo: Hialy ho a i Baale hao nahareo? Hañaro aze hao? Havetrake aolo’ ty maraiñe ze hialy ho aze; aa naho ‘ndrahare re, angao harova’e kanao eo ty nandrotsake i kitreli’ey.
32 And he calls him, on that day, Jerubba‘al, saying, “The Ba‘al pleads against him, because he has broken down his altar.”
Aa le natao Ierob’ baale i tahina’ey ami’ty hoe: Angao hiatrek’ aze t’i Baale amy t’ie nandrotsak’ i kitreli’ey.
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,
Ie amy zao fa nifanontoñe iaby o nte-Midianeo naho o nte-Amalekeo naho o ana’ tatiñanañeo; nitsake vaho nitobe am-bavatane’ Iizreele ao.
34 and the Spirit of YHWH has clothed Gideon, and he blows with a horn, and Abi-Ezer is called after him;
Fe nivotrak’ amy Gidone t’i Arofo’ Iehovà le nitiofe’e i tsifay le nañampea’ o nte-Abiezereo.
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.
Le nampihitrife’e ty hanitsike i Menasè, naho nireketa’e, nampihitrifa’e ka t’i Asere naho i Zebolone vaho i Naftalý; le nionjomb’ ama’e mb’eo ka iereo nifanampe ama’e.
36 And Gideon says to God, “If You are Savior of Israel by my hand, as You have spoken,
Le hoe t’i Gidone aman’ Añahare, Ho rombahe’o an-tañako hao t’Israele ty amy tsara’oy?
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”;
Hehe te hapoko an-toem-pifofohañe eo ty volon’ añondry; aa naho amy volon’ añondriy avao ty zono vaho maike iaby o taneo, le hapotako te ho rombahe’o an-tañako t’Israele ty amy tsara’oy.
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.
Aa ie izay; nañaleñaleñe re, le nifeahe’e i volon’ añondriy nañafake i zonoy vaho nahapea ty soakazo.
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.”
Fe hoe t’i Gidone aman’ Añahare, Ko ampisolebore’o amako ty haviñera’o naho mbe ivolañako henaneo; angao hamentesako indraik’ amy volon’ añondriy. Ehe te i volon’añondriy avao ty ho maike, vaho ho tsitsike zono o taneo.
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.
Aa le nanoen’ Añahare izay amy haleñey; i volon’ añondriy avao ty nimaike vaho nitsitsihen-jono o taneo.
