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.
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 prevailed against Israel: and because of Midian the children of Israel made them the dens which are in the mountains, and the caves, and the strong holds.
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 so it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east; they came up against them;
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 they encamped against them, and destroyed the increase of the earth, till thou come unto Gaza, and left no sustenance in Israel, neither sheep, nor ox, nor ass.
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 came up with their cattle and their tents, they came in as locusts for multitude; both they and their camels were without number: and they came 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 was brought very low because of Midian; and the children of Israel cried unto the LORD.
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 came to pass, when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD because of Midian,
Nígbà tí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ké pe Olúwa nítorí àwọn ará Midiani.
8 that the LORD sent a prophet unto the children of Israel: and he said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you forth out of the house of bondage;
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 delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all that oppressed you, and drave them out from before you, and gave you their land;
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 said unto you, I am the LORD your God; ye shall not fear the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but ye have not hearkened unto 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 angel of the LORD came and sat under the oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon was beating out wheat in the winepress, to hide it from 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 angel of the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto him, The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valour.
Nígbà tí angẹli Olúwa fi ara han Gideoni, ó wí fún un pé, “Olúwa wà pẹ̀lú rẹ, akọni ológun.”
13 And Gideon said unto him, Oh my lord, if the LORD be with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where be all his wondrous works which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt? but now the LORD hath cast us off, and delivered 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 the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and save Israel from the hand of Midian: have not I sent thee?
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 said unto him, Oh Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? behold, my family is the poorest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house.
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 the LORD said unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite 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 said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, then shew me a sign that it is thou that talkest 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 Depart not hence, I pray thee, until I come unto thee, and bring forth my present, and lay it before thee. And he said, I will tarry until thou come again.
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 went in, and made ready a kid, and unleavened cakes of an ephah of meal: the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought it out unto him under the oak, and presented it.
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 angel of God said unto him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them upon this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did 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 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.
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 saw that he was the angel of the LORD; and Gideon said, Alas, O Lord GOD! forasmuch as I have seen the angel of the LORD 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 the LORD said unto him, Peace be unto thee; fear not: thou shalt not die.
Ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa wí fún un pé, “Àlàáfíà! Má ṣe bẹ̀rù, ìwọ kì yóò kùú.”
24 Then Gideon built an altar there unto the LORD, and called it Jehovah-shalom: unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
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 came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto him, Take thy father’s bullock, even the second bullock of seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the Asherah that 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 build an altar unto the LORD thy God upon the top of this strong hold, in the orderly manner, and take the second bullock, and offer a burnt offering with the wood of the Asherah which thou shalt 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 Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as the LORD had spoken unto him: and it came to pass, 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.
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 when the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was broken down, and the Asherah was cut down that was by it, and the second bullock was offered upon the altar that was 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 said one to another, Who hath done this thing? And when they inquired and asked, they said, Gideon the son of Joash hath 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 Then the men of the city said unto Joash, Bring out thy son, that he may die: because he hath broken down the altar of Baal, and because he hath cut down the Asherah that was 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 said unto all that stood against him, Will ye plead for Baal? or will ye save him? he that will plead for him, let him be put to death whilst [it is yet] morning: if he be a god, let him plead for himself, because one hath 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 Therefore on that day he called him Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal plead against him, because he hath 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 Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the children of the east assembled themselves together; and they passed over, and pitched 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 But the spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon; and he blew a trumpet; and Abiezer was gathered together after him.
Ẹ̀mí Olúwa sì bà lé Gideoni, ó sì fun fèrè ìpè, láti pe àwọn ará Abieseri láti tẹ̀lé òun.
35 And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh; and they also were gathered together after him: and he sent messengers unto Asher, and unto Zebulun, and unto Naphtali; and they came 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 said unto God, If thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast spoken,
Gideoni wí fún Ọlọ́run pé, “Bí ìwọ yóò bá gba Israẹli là nípasẹ̀ mi bí ìwọ ti ṣe ìlérí—
37 behold, I will put a fleece of wool on the threshing-floor; if there be dew on the fleece only, and it be dry upon all the ground, then shall I know that thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast 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 was so: for he rose up early on the morrow, and pressed the fleece together, and wringed the dew out of the fleece, a bowlful of water.
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 said unto God, Let not thine anger be kindled against me, and I will speak but this once: let me prove, I pray thee, but this once with the fleece; let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all the ground let there be dew.
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 did so that night: for it was dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.
Ní òru náà Ọlọ́run ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, awọ irun àgùntàn nìkan ni ó gbẹ; gbogbo ilẹ̀ yòókù sì tutù nítorí ìrì.
