< 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.
Aa ie marain-tsikiake, nitroatse t’Ierob’baale, toe i Gidone, naho i valobohòke nindre ama’ey vaho nañialo añ’ ila’ ty vovo’ i Karode eo; ie amy zao ro tavara’ i tobe’ o nte-Midianeoy, añ’ ila’ ty haboa’ i Morè, am-bavatane ao.
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;
Le hoe t’Iehovà amy Gidone, Loho maro amako ondaty mindre ama’oo, te hatoloko am-pità’ iareo o nte-Midianeo hera hiebotsebora’e ami’ty hoe: Ty tañako avao ty nandrombak’ ahy.
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.
Ie amy zao, taroño an-dravembia’ ondatio ke t’ie mahimahiñe he mititititike: apoho himpoly, hañaleñaleñe boak’ am-bohi-Gilade ao. Aa le Ro’ ale-tsi-ro’ arivo am’ondatio ty nimpoly, vaho rai-ale ty nisisa.
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.”
Le hoe t’Iehovà amy Gidone, Mbe loho maro ondatio; ampizotsò mb’an-drano mb’eo, le ho tsoheko ho azo; ie amy zao, naho anoeko ama’o ty hoe, ie ty hindre ama’o, le ho mpiama’o, vaho ze anoeko ty hoe: Tsy hindre ama’o re, le tsy hionjoñe ka.
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.”
Aa le nampizotsoe’e mb’an-drano mb’eo ondatio, le hoe t’Iehovà amy Gidone, Ze misao-drano am-pameleke hoe filelan’ amboa ro hasita’o; manahake izay o mitongaleke naho mibokoke hitohofa’eo.
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.
Aa le ty ia’ ondaty nisao-drano am-pitàñe naho ninoñe am-palieo ro telon-jato; o ila’eo fonga nitongaleke naho nibotreke te nitoho-drano.
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.”
Le hoe t’Iehovà amy Gidone, Ho rombaheko am’ondaty telon-jato nisaokeo, vaho hatoloko am-pità’o o nte-Midianeo; aa le avotsoro himpoly mb’ an-toe’e añe iaby ondaty ila’eo,
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.
fe rinambe’ iareo am-pitàñe ty fivati’ ondatio naho o tsifan’ añondri’ iareoo; le hene nampolie’e mb’an-kiboho’e añe o ana’ Israele ila’eo vaho tama’e i telon-jato rey; le am-bavatane ambane’e ey ty tobe’ o nte-Midianeo.
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;
Ie amy haleñey, nanao ty hoe ama’e t’Iehovà: Miongaha naho mizotsoa mb’ an-tobe mb’eo fa natoloko am-pità’o.
10 and if you are afraid to go down—go down, you and your young man Phurah, to the camp,
F’ie hembañe tsy te hizotso mb’eo, le endeso hindre ama’o mb’ an-tobe mb’eo t’i Porà mpitoro’o;
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;
le ho janjiñe’o o saontsie’eo, hampahafatrare’e o fità’oo, hizotsoa’o mb’ an-tobe mb’eo. Aa le nindre nizotso amy Porà mpitoro’e re mb’alàfe’ o mpitan-defo’ i tobeio.
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.
Nilafike hoe kijeja mifamorohotse am-bavatane ey o nte-Midianeo naho o nte-Amalekeo naho o anan-tatiñanañeo; vaho tsy nihay iaheñe o rameva’eo fa nitozantoza mira amo faseñe añ’ olon-driakeo.
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.”
Ie nivotrak’eo t’i Gidone, inay t’indaty nitalily nofy ami’ty rañe’e, nanao ty hoe: Nañinofy nofy iraho te nahatrea vonga-mofom-bare hordea nivarimbary mb’an-tobe’ o nte-Midianeo naho mb’amo kibohotseo mb’eo le nidasira’e kanao nihotrake naho nivarihohoke vaho niforetrake o kibohotseo.
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.”
Hoe ty natoi’ i rañe’ey aze: Ts’inoñe izay naho tsy ty fibara’ i Gidone ana’ Ioase, ana’ Israele, amy te fonga natolon’ Añahare am-pità’e o nte-Midianeo rekets’ i valobohò’ey.
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.”
Ie jinanji’ i Gidone ty talili’ i nofiy naho i fandrazañañey, le nitalaho; aa ie tafampoly an-tobe’ Israele ao, hoe ty asa’e: Miongaha, fa natolo’ Iehovà am-pità’ areo ty tobe’ o nte-Midianeo.
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.
Aa le zinara’e ampirimboñañe telo indaty telon-jato rey, le songa nampipoha’e tsifan’ añondry raik’ am-pità’ ondatio reketse sini-hara kòake, naho ty failo mirekake am-po’ o sini-harao ao.
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;
Le hoe re tam’ iereo: Henteo iraho, vaho tsikombeo; ie pok’ alafe’ i tobey iraho, le hanoe’ areo ze anoeko.
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!”
Ie popoeko i tsifay, naho o mindre amako iabio, le tiofo ka amy ze lafe’ i tobe iabiy o tsifao, vaho ano ty hoe: Ty fibara’ Iehovà naho i Gidone!
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;
Aa le nigadoñe ami’ ty efe’ i tobeio t’i Gidone naho i lahilahy mpiama’e zato rey, amy fifotoram-pijilovañe añivoy, aa vata’e nijadoñe o mpijiloo le pinopò’ iareo o tsifao vaho dinemo’ iareo o sini-hara am-pità’ iareoo.
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!”
Fonga nampipopò’ antsiva i mpirai-lia telo rey; naho dinemo’ iareo o sini-harao, naho nizonjo failo am-pità’e havia, naho tsifa am-pità’e havana, nitioke, vaho nikoike ty hoe: Ty fibara’ Iehovà naho i Gidone.
21 And they each stand in his place, around the camp, and all the camp runs, and they shout, and flee;
Songa nijohañe an-toe’e ey avao indaty rey nañarikatoke i tobey, le nitriban-day i valobohòkey; nikoikoike vaho nivoratsake.
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.
Ie nipopò i tsifa telon-jato rey, le nampizonjoe’ Iehovà ze hene’ ondaty an-tobe ao, sindre mb’aman-drañe’e vaho nilay pake Betesità mb’e Tsererà mb’eo, sikal’ añ’efe’ i Abel-meholà, marine’ i Tabate añe i valobohòkey.
23 And the men of Israel are called from Naphtali, and from Asher, and from all Manasseh, and pursue after Midian.
Hene kinoike boake Naftalý naho boak’ Asere naho boake Menasè o ana’ Israeleo le nifanontoñe vaho nihoridañe’ iareo t’i Midiane.
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,
Nampanitsihe’ i Gidone ty am-bohibohi’ i Efraime ao ty hoe: Mizotsoa haname i Midiane le tsepaho aolo’ iareo o rano pake Bete-barào naho Iordaney ka. Aa le nifanontoñe iaby o nte-Efraimeo vaho nitana’ iareo o rano pake Bete-barào naho Iordaney.
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.
Le tsinepa’ iareo ty roandria roe’ i Midiane, t’i Orebe naho i Zeèbe; vinono’ iareo am-bato’i Orebe eo t’i Orebe, vaho vinono’ iereo am-pipiritan-divai’ i Zeebe eo t’i Zeebe, le ie nihoridà’ iareo t’i Midiane, nasese’ iareo mb’ amy Gidone alafe’ Iordaney mb’eo ty añambone’ i Orebe naho i Zeebe.
