Judges 6
1 And the children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and the LORD delivered them into the hand of Midian 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 prevailed against Israel; and because of Midian the children of Israel made for themselves the dens which are in the mountains, and the caves, and the strongholds.
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 so it was, when Israel had sown, that Midian, Amalek, and the Kedemites would come up against them.
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 they camped against them, and destroyed the increase of the earth, as far as Gaza, and they left no sustenance in Israel, as well as 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 came up with their livestock and their tents and their camels. They would come in like locusts in number, and they were innumerable. And they came into the land to ravage 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 Israel was brought very low because of Midian; and the children of Israel cried to the LORD.
Nampifotsake Israele ambane ty Midiane; vaho nikoaik’ am’ Iehovà o ana’ Israeleo.
7 It happened, when the children of Israel cried to the LORD because of Midian,
Aa ie nitoreove’ o ana’ Israeleo am’ Iehovà i Midiane,
8 that the LORD sent a prophet to the children of Israel, and he said to them, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, 'I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and brought you forth out of the house of bondage;
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 delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all who oppressed you, and drove them out from before you, and gave you their land;
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 said to you, "I am the LORD your God; you shall not fear the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell." But 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 The angel of the LORD came, and sat under the oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained to Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon was beating out wheat in the winepress, to hide it from 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 The angel of the LORD appeared to him, and said to him, "The LORD is with you, mighty warrior."
Niheo ama’e i anjeli’ Iehovày, le nanoe’e ty hoe: Ama’o t’Iehovà ry fanalolahio.
13 Gideon said to him, "Oh, my lord, if the LORD is with us, why then has all this happened to us? Where are all his wondrous works which our fathers told us of, saying, 'Didn't the LORD bring us up from Egypt?' But now the LORD has cast us off, and delivered 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 the LORD looked at him, and said, "Go in this strength of yours and save Israel from the hand of Midian. Look, haven't I 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 He said to him, "O Lord, how shall I save Israel? Look, my family is the poorest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house."
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 The LORD said to him, "Surely I will be with you, and you shall strike 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 He said to him, "If now I have found favor in your sight, then show me a sign that it is you who talk 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 go away, until I come to you, and bring out my present, and lay it before you." He said, "I will wait until you come back."
Ehe, ko mienga atoy, ampara’ te harineako, hibanabana naho hanjotsoako. Le hoe re, ho liñasako ty fibali’o.
19 Gideon went in, and made ready a kid, and unleavened cakes of an ephah of meal: the meat he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought it out to him under the oak, and presented it.
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 The angel of God said to him, "Take the meat and the unleavened cakes, and lay them on this rock, and pour out the broth." And he did 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 Then the angel of the LORD put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and there went up fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and the angel of the LORD departed out of his sight.
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 Gideon saw that he was the angel of the LORD; and Gideon said, "Alas, Lord GOD. Because I have seen the angel of the LORD 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 The LORD said to him, "Peace be to you. Do not be afraid. You shall not die."
Le hoe t’Iehovà ama’e: Fanintsiñañe ama’o; ko hemban-drehe fa tsy hihomake.
24 Then Gideon built an altar there to the LORD, and called it "The LORD is Peace." To this day it is still in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
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 It happened the same night, that the LORD said to him, "Take your father's bull, even the second bull seven years old, and tear down the altar of Baal that your father has, and cut down the Asherah that is beside 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 build an altar to the LORD your God on the top of this stronghold, in the orderly manner, and take the second bull, and offer a burnt offering with the wood of the Asherah which you shall 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 Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as the LORD had spoken to him: and it came about, because he feared his father's household and the men of the city, so that he could not do it by day, that he did 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 When the men of the city arose early in the morning, look, the altar of Baal was broken down, and the Asherah was cut down that was by it, and the second bull was offered on the altar that was 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 said to one another, "Who has done this thing?" When they inquired and asked, they said, "Gideon the 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 Then the men of the city said to Joash, "Bring out your son, that he may die, because he has broken down the altar of Baal, and because he has cut down the Asherah that was 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 Joash said to all who stood against him, "Will you contend for Baal? Or will you save him? He who will contend for him, let him be put to death while it is yet morning: if he is a god, let him contend for himself, because someone 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 Therefore on that day he named him Jerubbaal, saying, "Let Baal contend 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 Then all Midian and Amalek and the Kedemites assembled themselves together; and they crossed over, and camped 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 But the Ruach of the LORD came on Gideon; and he blew a trumpet; and Abiezer was gathered together after him.
Fe nivotrak’ amy Gidone t’i Arofo’ Iehovà le nitiofe’e i tsifay le nañampea’ o nte-Abiezereo.
35 He sent messengers throughout all Manasseh; and they also were gathered together after him: and he sent messengers to Asher, and to Zebulun, and to Naphtali; and they came 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 Gideon said to God, "If you will save 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 look, I will put a fleece of wool on the threshing floor; if there is dew on the fleece only, and it is dry on all the ground, then shall I know that you will 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 It was so; for he rose up early on the next day, and pressed the fleece together, and wrung the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water.
Aa ie izay; nañaleñaleñe re, le nifeahe’e i volon’ añondriy nañafake i zonoy vaho nahapea ty soakazo.
39 Gideon said to God, "Do not let your anger be kindled against me, and I will speak but this once. Please let me make one more test with the fleece; let it now be dry only on the fleece, and on all the ground let there be dew."
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 God did so that night, for it was dry on the fleece only, and there was dew all over the ground.
Aa le nanoen’ Añahare izay amy haleñey; i volon’ añondriy avao ty nimaike vaho nitsitsihen-jono o taneo.
