Judges 7
1 And Jerubba‘al (he [is] Gideon) rises early, and all the people who [are] with him, and they encamp by the well of Harod, and the camp of Midian has been on the south of him, on the height of Moreh, in the valley.
Na tongo-tongo, Yerubali, elingi koloba Jedeon, abimaki elongo na bato nyonso oyo balandaki ye mpe batongaki molako na bango pembeni ya etima ya mayi ya Arodi. Nzokande molako ya bato ya Madiani ezalaki na ngambo ya nor ya molako ya bana ya Isalaele, na lubwaku, pembeni ya ngomba moke ya More.
2 And YHWH says to Gideon, “The people who [are] with you [are] too many for My giving Midian into their hand, lest Israel beautify itself against Me, saying, My hand has given salvation to me;
Yawe alobaki na Jedeon: « Bato oyo ozali na bango baleki ebele mpo na ngai kokaba bato ya Madiani na maboko na bango, noki te Isalaele akozwa lolendo na koloba: ‹ Loboko na ngai moko nde ebikisi ngai. ›
3 and now, please call in the ears of the people, saying, Whoever [is] afraid and trembling, let him turn back and go early from Mount Gilead”; and there return twenty-two thousand of the people, and ten thousand have been left.
Yango wana, loba na bato oyo: ‹ Tika ete moto nyonso oyo azali kolenga na kobanga azala mosika ya ngomba Galadi mpe azonga epai na ye. › » Boye, bato nkoto tuku mibale na mibale bazongaki epai na bango mpe nkoto zomi batikalaki.
4 And YHWH says to Gideon, “The people [are] yet too many; bring them down to the water, and I refine him for you there; and it has been, he of whom I say to you, This goes with you—he goes with you; and any of whom I say to you, This does not go with you—he does not go.”
Kasi Yawe alobaki na Jedeon: « Bato bazali kaka ebele. Kitisa bango nyonso na mayi, mpe kuna, nakomeka bango mpo na yo. Soki nalobi: ‹ Oyo akoki kokende na yo, ye nde asengeli kokende na yo. › Kasi soki nalobi: ‹ Oyo akoki te kokende na yo, ye asengeli te kokende na yo. › »
5 And he brings the people down to the water, and YHWH says to Gideon, “Everyone who laps of the water with his tongue as the dog laps—you set him apart; also everyone who bows on his knees to drink.”
Boye, Jedeon akitisaki bato na mayi. Kuna, Yawe alobaki na ye: « Kabola bango: tia na ngambo moko, bato oyo bakomela mayi na nzela ya lolemo lokola mbwa; mpe tia na ngambo mosusu, bato oyo bakofukama, mpo na komela mayi. »
6 And the number of those lapping with their hand to their mouth is three hundred men, and all the rest of the people have bowed down on their knees to drink water.
Bato nkama misato bazwaki mayi na maboko na bango mpo na komema yango na minoko na bango mpe komela yango na nzela ya lolemo; bato nyonso oyo batikali bafukamaki mpo na komela mayi.
7 And YHWH says to Gideon, “I save you by the three hundred men who are lapping, and have given Midian into your hand, and all the people go, each to his place.”
Yawe alobaki na Jedeon: « Nakobikisa bino na nzela ya bato nkama misato oyo bamelaki mayi na nzela ya lolemo lokola mbwa, mpe nakokaba bato ya Madiani na maboko na yo. Tika ete bato nyonso oyo batikali bazonga, moto na moto na esika na ye. »
8 And the people take the provision in their hand, and their horns, and he has sent every man of Israel away, each to his tents; and he has kept hold on the three hundred men, and the camp of Midian has been by him at the lower part of the valley.
Boye mibali yango nkama misato bazwaki biloko ya kolia mpe bakelelo ya bato mosusu. Mpe Jedeon azongisaki na bandako na bango, bana ya Isalaele oyo batikalaki. Nzokande, molako ya bato ya Madiani ezalaki na lubwaku, na se ya molako ya bana ya Isalaele.
9 And it comes to pass, on that night, that YHWH says to him, “Rise, go down into the camp, for I have given it into your hand;
Na butu wana, Yawe alobaki na Jedeon: « Telema, kita mpo na kobundisa molako ya bato ya Madiani, pamba te napesi yango na maboko na yo.
10 and if you are afraid to go down—go down, you and your young man Phurah, to the camp,
Soki ozali kobanga kobunda, kita elongo na Pura, mosali na yo ya mobali,
11 and you have heard what they speak, and afterward your hands are strengthened, and you have gone down against the camp.” And he goes down, he and his young man Phurah, to the extremity of the fifties who [are] in the camp;
mpe yoka maloba oyo bazali koloba. Boye okozwa makasi ya kobundisa bango. » Jedeon akitaki elongo na Pura, mosali na ye ya mobali, kino na liboso ya molako ya bitumba.
12 and Midian, and Amalek, and all the sons of the east are lying in the valley, as the locust for multitude, and of their camels there is no number, as sand which [is] on the seashore for multitude.
Bato ya Madiani, ya Amaleki mpe ya ngambo ya este bazalaki ya kopanzana kati na lubwaku, ebele lokola mabanki. Bashamo na bango ezalaki ebele koleka zelo ya ebale.
13 And Gideon comes in, and behold, a man is recounting a dream to his companion, and says, “Behold, I have dreamed a dream, and behold, a cake of barley-bread is turning itself over into the camp of Midian, and it comes to the tent, and strikes it, and it falls, and turns it upwards, and the tent has fallen.”
Jedeon akomaki na molako ya banguna na bango na tango kaka mobali moko ya Madiani azalaki kobeta lisolo ya ndoto na ye epai ya moninga na ye: — Tala ndoto naloti: Namonaki lipa moko basala na bambuma ya orje ezali kobaluka kati na molako na biso mobimba, bongo lipa yango eyaki kotuta ndako ya kapo na makasi koleka. Ndako ya kapo ekweyaki mpe ebalukaki.
14 And his companion answers and says, “This is nothing except the sword of Gideon son of Joash, a man of Israel; God has given Midian and all the camp into his hand.”
Moninga na ye azongisaki: — Oyo ekoki kozala eloko mosusu te! Ezali kaka mopanga ya Jedeon, mwana mobali ya Joasi, moto ya Isalaele. Solo, Nzambe akabi bato ya Madiani mpe molako mobimba na maboko na ye.
15 And it comes to pass, when Gideon hears the narration of the dream and its interpretation, that he bows himself, and turns back to the camp of Israel, and says, “Rise, for YHWH has given the camp of Midian into your hand.”
Tango Jedeon ayokaki ndoto mpe ndimbola na yango, afukamelaki Nzambe mpe atondaki Ye. Azongaki na molako ya Isalaele mpe agangaki: « Botelema, Yawe akabi molako ya bato ya Madiani na maboko na biso. »
16 And he divides the three hundred men [into] three detachments, and puts horns into the hand of all of them, and empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers.
Jedeon akabolaki basoda na ye nkama misato na biteni misato. Mpe apesaki na mobali moko na moko kelelo moko, mbeki moko oyo ezangi eloko na kati, singa ya mwinda mpe moto ya mbeki.
17 And he says to them, “Look at me, and thus do; and behold, I am coming into the extremity of the camp—and it has been—as I do so you do;
Na sima, apesaki bango mitindo oyo: « Bino nyonso, botala esika ngai nazali mpe bolanda ndenge ngai nakosala tango nakokoma pembeni ya molako ya banguna na biso.
18 and I have blown with a horn—I and all who [are] with me, and you have blown with horns, even you, around all the camp, and have said, For YHWH and for Gideon!”
Tango ngai mpe bato nyonso oyo bazali elongo na ngai tokobeta kelelo, bino nyonso, na zingazinga ya molako, bokobeta mpe bakelelo na bino mpe bokoganga: ‹ Mpo na Yawe mpe mpo na Jedeon. › »
19 And Gideon comes—and the hundred men who [are] with him—into the extremity of the camp, [at] the beginning of the middle watch (they had just posted watchmen), and they blow with horns—also dashing in pieces the pitchers which [are] in their hand;
Jedeon mpe mibali nkama moko oyo bazalaki na ye elongo, bakomaki pembeni ya molako, mwa tango moke liboso ete midi ya butu ekoka, wana bawutaki kotia bakengeli mosusu. Babetaki bakelelo mpe babukaki bambeki oyo ezalaki na maboko na bango.
20 and the three detachments blow with horns, and break the pitchers, and keep hold with their left hand on the lamps, and with their right hand on the horns to blow, and they cry, “The sword of YHWH and of Gideon!”
Biteni nyonso misato ya basoda babetaki bakelelo mpe babukaki bambeki. Na loboko na bango ya mwasi, basimbaki minda, mpe, na loboko ya mobali, bakelelo mpo na kobeta. Mpe bazalaki koganga: « Mopanga mpo na Yawe mpe mpo na Jedeon. »
21 And they each stand in his place, around the camp, and all the camp runs, and they shout, and flee;
Wana soda moko na moko ya Isalaele atelemaki na esika na ye zingazinga ya molako, banguna kati na molako bapotaki mbangu, bagangaki mpe bakimaki.
22 and the three hundred blow the horns, and YHWH sets the sword of each against his companion, even through all the camp; and the camp flees to Beth-Shittah, at Zererath, to the border of Abel-Meholah, by Tabbath.
Tango bakelelo nkama misato ebetaki lisusu, Yawe asalaki ete, kati na molako mobimba, moto na moto atuba moninga na ye mopanga; mpe bango nyonso bakimaki kino na Beti-Shita, na ngambo ya Tserera, mpe kino na ngambo ya Abele-Meola pembeni ya Tabati.
23 And the men of Israel are called from Naphtali, and from Asher, and from all Manasseh, and pursue after Midian.
Bana ya Isalaele oyo bawutaki na Nefitali, na Aseri mpe na Manase basanganaki mpo na kobengana bato ya Madiani.
24 And Gideon has sent messengers into all the hill-country of Ephraim, saying, “Come down to meet Midian, and capture the waters from them as far as Beth-Barah, and the Jordan”; and every man of Ephraim is called, and they capture the waters as far as Beth-Barah, and the Jordan,
Jedeon atindaki bantoma kati na etuka ya bangomba ya Efrayimi mpo na koloba: « Bokita mpo na kokutana na bato ya Madiani; bokanga, liboso na bango, nzela ya mayi kino na Beti-Bara mpe na Yordani. » Bana nyonso ya libota ya Efrayimi bakitaki mpe bakangaki nzela ya mayi kino na Beti-Bara mpe na Yordani.
25 and they capture two of the heads of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb, and slay Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and they have slain Zeeb at the wine-vat of Zeeb, and they pursue into Midian; and they have brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon beyond the Jordan.
Bakangaki bakonzi mibale ya bato ya Madiani: Orebi mpe Zeebi. Babomaki Orebi na libanga monene ya Orebi, mpe Zeebi na esika oyo bakamolaka vino ya Zeebi. Balandaki bato ya Madiani mpe bamemelaki Jedeon mito ya Orebi mpe ya Zeebi, kuna na ngambo ya Yordani.
