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,
Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì túnṣe ohun tí ó burú ní ojú Olúwa, Ó sì fi wọ́n lé àwọn ará Midiani lọ́wọ́ fún ọdún méje.
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.
Agbára àwọn ará Midiani sì pọ̀ púpọ̀ lórí àwọn Israẹli, wọ́n sì hùwà ipá sí wọn, nítorí ìdí èyí, àwọn Israẹli sálọ sí àwọn orí òkè, wọ́n sì kọ́ àgọ́ fún ara wọn nínú ihò àpáta, àti nínú ọ̀gbun àti ní ibi agbára nínú àpáta.
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,
Ní ìgbàkúgbà tí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli bá ti gbin ọ̀gbìn wọn, àwọn ará Midiani, àwọn ará Amaleki àti àwọn ará ìlà-oòrùn mìíràn yóò wá láti bá wọn jà.
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;
Wọn yóò tẹ̀dó sí orí ilẹ̀ náà, wọn a sì bá irúgbìn wọ̀nyí jẹ́ títí dé Gasa, wọn kì í sì í fi ohun alààyè kankan sílẹ̀ fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, kì bá à ṣe àgùntàn, màlúù tàbí kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́.
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.
Wọn a máa wá pẹ̀lú ohun ọ̀sìn wọn àti àwọn àgọ́ wọn, wọn a sì dàbí eṣú nítorí i púpọ̀ wọn. Ènìyàn kò sì lè ka iye àwọn ènìyàn náà bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn ìbákasẹ, wọ́n pọ̀ dé bi pé wọn kò ṣe é kà ní iye, wọn a bo ilẹ̀ náà wọn a sì jẹ ẹ́ run.
6 And Israel is very weak from the presence of Midian, and the sons of Israel cry to YHWH.
Àwọn ará Midiani sì pọ́n àwọn ọmọ Israẹli lójú, wọ́n sọ wọ́n di òtòṣì àti aláìní, fún ìdí èyí wọ́n ké pe Olúwa nínú àdúrà fún ìrànlọ́wọ́.
7 And it comes to pass, when the sons of Israel have cried to YHWH concerning Midian,
Nígbà tí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ké pe Olúwa nítorí àwọn ará Midiani.
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,
Olúwa fi etí sí igbe wọn, ó sì rán wòlíì kan sí wọn, ẹni tí ó wí pé, “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí: mo mú yín gòkè ti Ejibiti wá, láti oko ẹrú.
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,
Mo gbà yín kúrò nínú agbára Ejibiti àti kúrò ní ọwọ́ gbogbo àwọn aninilára yín. Mo lé wọn kúrò ní iwájú yín, mo sì fi ilẹ̀ wọn fún yín.
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.”
Mo wí fún un yín pé, ‘Èmi ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín; ẹ má ṣe sin àwọn òrìṣà àwọn ará Amori, ní ilẹ̀ ẹni tí ẹ̀yin ń gbé.’ Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin kò gbọ́rọ̀ sí ohun tí mo sọ.”
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;
Ní ọjọ́ kan angẹli Olúwa wá, ó sì jókòó ní abẹ́ igi óákù Ofira èyí ti ṣe ti Joaṣi ará Abieseri, níbi tí Gideoni ọmọ rẹ̀ ti ń lu ọkà jéró, níbi ìpọntí wáìnì láti fi pamọ́ kúrò níwájú àwọn ará Midiani.
12 and the Messenger of YHWH appears to him and says to him, “YHWH [is] with you, O mighty man of valor.”
Nígbà tí angẹli Olúwa fi ara han Gideoni, ó wí fún un pé, “Olúwa wà pẹ̀lú rẹ, akọni ológun.”
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.”
Gideoni dáhùn pé, “Alàgbà, bí Olúwa bá wà pẹ̀lú wa, kí ló dé tí gbogbo ìwọ̀nyí fi ń ṣẹlẹ̀ sí wa? Níbi gbogbo àwọn iṣẹ́ ìyanu rẹ tí àwọn baba wa ròyìn rẹ̀ fún wa nígbà tí wọ́n wí pé, ‘Olúwa kò ha mú wa gòkè láti ilẹ̀ Ejibiti wá?’ Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí Olúwa ti kọ̀ wá sílẹ̀, ó sì ti fi wá lé àwọn ará Midiani lọ́wọ́.”
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?”
Olúwa sì yípadà sí i, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Lọ nínú agbára tí o ní yìí, kí o sì gba àwọn ará Israẹli sílẹ̀ kúrò lọ́wọ́ àwọn ará Midiani. Èmi ni ó ń rán ọ lọ.”
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.”
Gideoni sì dáhùn pé, “Yéè olúwa mi, ọ̀nà wo ni èmi yóò fi gba Israẹli là? Ìdílé mi ni ó jẹ́ aláìlera jù ní Manase, àti pé èmi ni ó sì kéré jù ní ìdílé baba mi.”
16 And YHWH says to him, “Because I am with you—you have struck the Midianites as one man.”
Olúwa sì dáhùn pé, “Èmi yóò wà pẹ̀lú rẹ, ìwọ yóò sì pa gbogbo àwọn ará Midiani láì ku ẹnìkankan.”
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.
Gideoni sì dáhùn pé, nísinsin yìí tí mo bá bá ojúrere rẹ pàdé, fún mi ní àmì pé ìwọ ni ń bá mi sọ̀rọ̀.
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.”
Jọ̀wọ́ má ṣe kúrò níbí títí èmi yóò fi mú ọrẹ wá fún ọ kí n sì gbé e sí iwájú rẹ. Olúwa sì wí pé, “Èmi yóò dúró títí ìwọ yóò fi dé.”
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.
Gideoni sì yára wọ ilé lọ, ó sì pa ọ̀dọ́ ewúrẹ́ kan, wọ́n sì sè é, ó sì mú ìyẹ̀fun efa kan, ó fi ṣe àkàrà aláìwú. Ó gbé ẹran náà sínú agbọ̀n, ṣùgbọ́n ó fi ọbẹ̀ rẹ̀ sínú ìkòkò, ó gbé wọn jáde tọ angẹli náà wá bí ọrẹ lábẹ́ igi óákù.
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.
Angẹli Ọlọ́run náà sì wí fún un pé, “Gbé ẹran náà àti àkàrà àìwú náà, sí orí àpáta yìí, kí o sì da omi ọbẹ̀ rẹ̀ sí orí rẹ̀.” Gideoni sì ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀.
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.
Angẹli Olúwa sì fi orí ọ̀pá tí ó wà ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀ kan ẹran àti àkàrà àìwú náà. Iná sì jáde láti inú àpáta, ó sì jó ẹran àti àkàrà náà, kò sì rí angẹli náà mọ́.
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!”
Nígbà tí Gideoni sì ti mọ̀ dájúdájú pé angẹli Olúwa ni, ó ké wí pé, “Háà! Olúwa Olódùmarè! Mo ti rí angẹli Olúwa ní ojúkorojú!”
23 And YHWH says to him, “Peace to you; do not fear; you do not die.”
Ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa wí fún un pé, “Àlàáfíà! Má ṣe bẹ̀rù, ìwọ kì yóò kùú.”
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.
Báyìí ni Gideoni mọ pẹpẹ kan fún Olúwa níbẹ̀, ó sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní “Àlàáfíà ni Olúwa.” Ó sì wà ní Ofira ti Abieseri títí di òní.
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,
Ní òru ọjọ́ náà Olúwa wí fún un pé, mú akọ màlúù baba rẹ, àní akọ màlúù kejì ọlọ́dún méje. Wó pẹpẹ Baali baba rẹ lulẹ̀, kí o sì bẹ́ igi ère òrìṣà Aṣerah tí ó wà ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ rẹ̀ lulẹ̀.
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.”
Lẹ́yìn èyí kí o wá mọ pẹpẹ èyí tí ó yẹ fún Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ lórí òkè yìí. Kí o sì mú akọ màlúù kejì, kí o sì mú igi ère òrìṣà Aṣerah tí ìwọ bẹ́ lulẹ̀ rú ẹbọ sísun sí Olúwa.
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.
Gideoni mú mẹ́wàá nínú àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀, ó sì ṣe bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún un ṣùgbọ́n, nítorí ó bẹ̀rù àwọn ará ilé baba rẹ̀ àti àwọn ènìyàn ìlú náà kò ṣe é ní ọ̀sán, òru ni ó ṣe.
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.
Nígbà tí ilẹ̀ ọjọ́ kejì mọ́, tí àwọn ènìyàn ìlú náà jí, wọ́n rí i pé àti fọ́ pẹpẹ Baali àti pé a ti bẹ́ igi ère òrìṣà Aṣerah tí ó wà ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ rẹ̀, a sì ti fi akọ màlúù kejì rú ẹbọ lórí pẹpẹ tí a ṣẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mọ.
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.”
Àwọn ènìyàn ìlú náà bi ara wọn wí pé, “Ta ni ó ṣe èyí?” Lẹ́yìn tí wọn fi ara balẹ̀ ṣe ìwádìí, wọ́n gbọ́ wí pé, “Gideoni ọmọ Joaṣi ni ó ṣe é.”
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.”
Àwọn ọkùnrin ìlú náà sì wí fún Joaṣi wí pé, “Mú ọmọ rẹ jáde wá. Ó ní láti kú nítorí pé ó ti wó pẹpẹ Baali lulẹ̀ ó sì ti ké ère òrìṣà Aṣerah tí ó wà ní ẹ̀bá rẹ̀ lulẹ̀.”
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.”
Ṣùgbọ́n Joaṣi bi àwọn èrò tí wọ́n fi ìbínú dúró tì í wí pé, “Ẹ̀yin yóò ha gbìjà Baali bí? Ẹ̀yin yóò ha gbà á sílẹ̀ bí? Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá gbìjà rẹ̀ kíkú ni olúwa rẹ̀ yóò kú ní òwúrọ̀. Bí Baali bá ṣe Ọlọ́run nítòótọ́ yóò jà fún ara rẹ̀ bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá wó pẹpẹ rẹ̀ lulẹ̀.”
32 And he calls him, on that day, Jerubba‘al, saying, “The Ba‘al pleads against him, because he has broken down his altar.”
Fún ìdí èyí ní ọjọ́ náà wọ́n pe Gideoni ní “Jerubbaali” wí pé, “Jẹ́ kí Baali bá a jà,” nítorí pé ó ti wó pẹpẹ Baali.
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,
Láìpẹ́ jọjọ, àwọn ogun àwọn Midiani, ti àwọn Amaleki àti ti àwọn ènìyàn ìhà ìlà-oòrùn yòókù kó ara wọn jọ pọ̀ ní ìṣọ̀kan, wọ́n sì kọjá Jordani wọ́n sì tẹ̀dó sí àfonífojì Jesreeli.
34 and the Spirit of YHWH has clothed Gideon, and he blows with a horn, and Abi-Ezer is called after him;
Ẹ̀mí Olúwa sì bà lé Gideoni, ó sì fun fèrè ìpè, láti pe àwọn ará Abieseri láti tẹ̀lé òun.
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.
Ó rán àwọn oníṣẹ́ la ilẹ̀ Manase já pé kí wọ́n dira ogun, àti sí Aṣeri, Sebuluni àti Naftali gbogbo pẹ̀lú sì lọ láti pàdé wọn.
36 And Gideon says to God, “If You are Savior of Israel by my hand, as You have spoken,
Gideoni wí fún Ọlọ́run pé, “Bí ìwọ yóò bá gba Israẹli là nípasẹ̀ mi bí ìwọ ti ṣe ìlérí—
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”;
kíyèsi, èmi yóò fi awọ irun àgùntàn lé ilẹ̀ ìpakà ní alẹ́ òní. Bí ìrì bá sẹ̀ sí orí awọ yìí nìkan tí gbogbo ilẹ̀ yòókù sì gbẹ, nígbà náà ni èmi yóò mọ̀ lóòótọ́ pé ìwọ yóò gba Israẹli là nípasẹ̀ mi bí ìwọ ti sọ.”
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.
Èyí ni ó sì ṣẹlẹ̀. Nígbà tí Gideoni jí ní òwúrọ̀ ọjọ́ kejì, ó sì fún irun àgùntàn náà, ọpọ́n omi kan sì kún.
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.”
Gideoni sì tún wí fún Ọlọ́run pé, “Jọ̀wọ́ má ṣe bínú sí mi, ṣùgbọ́n jẹ́ kí n tún wá ìdánilójú kan sí i, èmi bẹ̀ ọ́ jẹ́ kí n fi awọ irun yìí ṣe ìdánwò kan sí i. Ní àsìkò yìí, jẹ́ kí awọ irun yìí gbẹ kí gbogbo ilẹ̀ sì tutù pẹ̀lú ìrì.”
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.
Ní òru náà Ọlọ́run ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, awọ irun àgùntàn nìkan ni ó gbẹ; gbogbo ilẹ̀ yòókù sì tutù nítorí ìrì.
