Judges 8
1 And the men of Ephraim said unto him—What is this thing thou hast done to us, in not calling us, when thou wentest to fight with Midian? And they did chide with him, sharply.
Ary hoy ny lehilahy amin’ ny Efraima tamin’ i Gideona: Ahoana izao zavatra nataonao taminay izao, no tsy nantsoinao izahay, raha nandeha hiady tamin’ ny Midiana ianao? Dia nanome tsiny azy mafy ireo.
2 And he said unto them, What have I done, now, in comparison with you? Is not the grape-gleaning of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?
Fa hoy Gideona taminy: Zinona izao nataoko izao, raha oharina amin’ izay nataonareo? Tsy tsara va ny fitsimponam-boalobok’ i Efraima noho ny fiotazam-boalobok’ i Abiezera?
3 Into your hand, hath God delivered the princes of Midian—Oreb and Zeeb, what then had I been able to do in comparison with you? Then, was their spirit softened toward him, when he had spoken this word.
Teo an-tananareo no nanoloran’ Andriamanitra ny andrianan’ ny Midiana, dia Oreba sy Zeba; ary inona no azoko atao, raha oharina amin’ ny nataonareo? Ary rehefa nilaza izany teny izany Gideona, dia nitony ny fahatezeran’ ireo taminy.
4 And Gideon came towards the Jordan, being about to pass over—he, and the three hundred men who were with him, faint yet pursuing.
Ary Gideona nankany Jordana, ka nita izy sy ny telon-jato lahy teo aminy, na dia efa reraka aza, mbola nanenjika ihany.
5 So he said unto the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves of bread to the people that are following me; for, faint, they are, and, I, am in pursuit of Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian.
Ary hoy izy tamin’ ny mponina tao Sokota: Masìna ianareo, mba omeo mofo ny olona manaraka ahy, fa reraka izy, ary izaho manenjika an’ i Zebaha sy Zalmona, mpanjakan’ ny Midiana.
6 And the princes of Succoth said, Are the palms of the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in thy power, —that we should give to thine army bread?
Fa hoy ireo andrianan’ i Sokota: Moa efa voahazon’ ny tananao ankehitriny va ny tànan’ i Zebaha sy Zalmona, no homenay mofo ny miaramilamao?
7 And Gideon said, Therefore, when Yahweh hath delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into my power, then will I tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness, and with the nettles.
Dia hoy Gideona: Rehefa voatolotr’ i Jehovah eo an-tanako Zehaba sy Zalmona, dia handalasiko amin’ ny tsilo avy any an-efitra sy ny sampivato ny tenanareo.
8 So he went up from thence, to Penuel, and spake unto them in like manner, —and the men of Penuel answered him, as had answered the men of Succoth.
Ary niakatra avy teo izy ka nankany Penoela, dia nanao teny tahaka izany koa tamin’ ny olona tao; ary ny mponina tao Penoela koa dia namaly azy tahaka ny navalin’ ny mponina tao Sokota ihany.
9 So he spake to the men of Penuel also, saying, —When I return with success, I will break down this tower.
Dia niteny tamin’ ny mponina tao Penoela izy ka nanao hoe: Raha tafaverina soa aman-tsara aho, dia horavako ity tilikambo ity.
10 Now, Zebah and Zalmunna, were in Karkor, and their hosts with them, about fifteen thousand, all that were left out of all the host of the sons of the east, —and, the fallen, were a hundred and twenty thousand men, who had drawn the sword.
Ary Zebaha sy Zalmona dia tonga tao Karkora mbamin’ ny miaramila teo aminy tokony ho dimy arivo sy iray alin-dahy, dia izay sisa rehetra tamin’ ny miaramila rehetra an’ ny zanaky ny atsinanana; ary ny maty kosa dia roa alina sy iray hetsy, samy lehilahy mpitan-tsabatra avokoa ireo.
11 So Gideon went up by the way of the tent-dwellers, on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and smote the host, when, the host, had become secure.
Ary Gideona niakatra tamin’ ny lalan’ ny mpitoetra an-day, atsinanan’ i Noha sy Jogbeha, ka dia namely ny toby, raha mbola ilay tsy nanampo iny ny olona.
12 And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled, then he pursued them, and captured the two kings of Midian—Zebah and Zalmunna, and, all the host, put he in terror.
Dia nandositra Zebaha sy Zalmona, ary nanenjika azy ny Isiraely ka nisambotra ny mpanjaka roa tamin’ ny Midiana, dia Zebaha sy Zalmona, fa efa nampihorohoroiny avokoa ny toby rehetra.
13 And Gideon son of Joash returned from the battle, —from the ascent of Heres;
Dia niverina avy tamin’ ny ady Gideona, zanak’ i Joasy, avy teo amin’ ny fiakarana Heresa;
14 and caught a young man, of the men of Succoth, and enquired of him, —so he wrote down for him the princes of Succoth, and the elders thereof, seventy-seven men.
ary nisambotra zatovo tamin’ ny mponina tao Sokota izy ka nanontany azy; dia nosoratan’ ilay zatovo ny anaran’ ireo andrianan’ i Sokota sy ny loholona tao, ka fito amby fito-polo lahy izy.
15 Then came he in unto the men of Succoth, and said, Lo! Zebah and Zalmunna, —concerning whom ye did taunt me, saying—Are the palms of the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in thy power, that we should give to thy weary men bread?
Ary Gideona dia nankany amin’ ny mponina tao Sokota ka nanao hoe: Indreo Zebaha sy Zalmona, izay efa nandatsanareo ahy hoe: Moa efa voahazon’ ny tananao ankehitriny va ny tànan’ i Zebaha sy Zalmona, no homenay mofo ny olonao efa reraka?
16 So he took the elders of the city, and the thorns of the wilderness and the nettles, and taught therewith the men of Succoth:
Dia naka ny loholona tao an-tanàna izy ary tsilo avy tany an-efitra sy sampivato, ka ireny no namaizany ny mponina tao Sokota.
17 the tower of Penuel also, brake he down, —and slew the men of the city.
Ary nandrava ny tilikambo tao Penoela koa izy ka namono ny lehilahy tao an-tanàna.
18 Then said he unto Zebah and unto Zalmunna, What manner of men were they, whom ye slew at Tabor? And they said, As thou art, so were they, each one, as handsome as the sons of a king.
Dia hoy izy tamin’ i Zebaha sy Zalmona: Lehilahy toy inona ange izay novonoinareo tany Tabara? Ary hoy izy roa lahy: Tahaka anao ihany izy. Nitarehin-janak’ andriana avokoa izy rehetra.
19 And he said: My brethren, sons of my mother, they were! As Yahweh liveth, if ye had saved them alive, I would not have slain you.
Ary hoy izy: Rahalahiko, zanaky ny reniko ireo. Raha velona koa Jehovah, dia tsy mba hovonoiko ianareo, raha novelominareo ireo.
20 So he said to Jether his firstborn, Up! slay them. But the youth drew not his sword, for he feared, because he was yet a youth.
Ary hoy izy tamin’ i Jatera lahimatoany: Mitsangàna, ka vonoy izy roa lahy. Fa ilay zatovo tsy nanatsoaka ny sabany, fa natahotra, satria mbola tanora fanahy izy.
21 Then said Zebah and Zalmunna—Up! thou, and fall upon us, for, like the man, is his might. So Gideon arose, and slew Zebah and Zalmunna, and took the crescents that were on the necks of their camels.
Ary hoy Zebaha sy Zalmona: Aoka ianao no hitsangana hamely anay; fa araka ny toetry ny olona ihany ny heriny. Dia nitsangana Gideona ka namono an’ i Zebaha sy Zalmona ary naka ny ravaka sarim-bolan-tsinana, izay teo amin’ ny vozon’ ny ramevany.
22 Then said the men of Israel, unto Gideon, Rule over us—even thou, and thy son, and thy son’s son, —for thou hast saved us out of the power of Midian.
Dia hoy ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely tamin’ i Gideona: Manapaha anay ianao sy ny zanakao ary ny zafinao; fa efa namonjy anay tamin’ ny tanan’ ny Midiana ianao.
23 And Gideon said unto them, I, will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you, —Yahweh, shall rule over you.
Fa hoy Gideona taminy: Tsy hanapaka anareo aho, ary tsy hanapaka anareo koa ny zanako; Jehovah ihany no hanapaka anareo.
24 And Gideon said unto them—I would make to you a request, Give me, then, every man the nose-ring of his spoil. For they had, nose-rings of gold, for, Ishmaelites, they were.
Ary hoy koa Gideona taminy: Zavatra iray loha monja no hany mba angatahiko aminareo; aoka samy hanome ahy ny kavina izay avy amin’ ny babony avy ianareo (fa nanana kavim-bolamena ireny, satria Isimaelita).
25 And they said, We will, freely give. So they spread out a mantle, and cast therein, every man the nose-ring of his spoil.
Dia hoy kosa ny olona: Eny, fa homenay tokoa izany. Dia namelatra lamba ny olona, ka samy nanipy ny kavina izay avy tamin’ ny babony teo.
26 And so it was, that the weight of the nose-rings of gold which he requested, was a thousand and seven hundred [shekels] of gold, —besides the crescents, and the pendants, and the raiment of purple that were upon the kings of Midian, and besides the ornaments that were on the necks of their camels.
Ary ny lanjan’ ny kavim-bolamena nangatahiny dia sekely volamena fiton-jato amby arivo, afa-tsy ny ravaka sarim-bolan-tsinana sy ny kavina voavola sy ny lamba volomparasy, izay teny amin’ ireo mpanjakan’ ny Midiana, ary ny rojo, izay teny amin’ ny vozon’ ny ramevany.
27 And Gideon made thereof an Ephod, and set it up in his own city, in Ophrah, and all Israel went unchastely astray after it there, —so it became, to Gideon and to his house, a snare.
Dia nataon’ i Gideona efoda ireo, ka nataony tao an-tanànany, dia tao Ofra; ary ny Isiraely rehetra nankany nijangajanga nanaraka izany efoda izany; ary tonga fandrika tamin’ i Gideona sy ny ankohonany izany.
28 Thus was Midian subdued, before the sons of Israel, neither did they again lift up their head, —and the land had rest forty years, in the days of Gideon.
Dia resy teo anoloan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ny Midiana ka tsy nahatraka ny lohany intsony. Dia nandry efa-polo taona ny tany tamin’ ny andron’ i Gideona.
29 So then Jerubbaal, son of Joash, went and dwelt in his own house.
Dia nandeha Jerobala, zanak’ i Joasy, ka nitoetra tao an-tranony.
30 And, Gideon, had seventy sons, sprung from his own loins, —for, many wives, had he.
Ary Gideona nanan-janaka fito-polo lahy izay naterany: fa maro vady izy.
31 And, his concubine who was in Shechem, she also, bare him a son, —and he gave him the name of Abimelech.
Ary ny vaditsindranony, izay tany Sekema, dia niteraka zazalahy taminy koa, ka ny anarany nataony hoe Abimeleka.
32 And Gideon, son of Joash, died in a good old age, —and was buried in the grave of Joash his father, in Ophrah, of the Abiezrites.
Dia maty Gideona, zanak’ i Joasy, rehefa tratrantitra tsara, ka nalevina tao amin’ ny fasan’ i Joasy rainy tao Ofran’ ny Abiezrita izy.
33 And it came to pass that, as soon as Gideon was dead, the sons of Israel turned back, and went unchastely astray after the Baals, —and appointed them Baal-berith, to be god:
Ary rehefa maty Gideona, dia nijangajanga nanaraka ireo Bala indray ny Zanak’ Isiraely ka nanao an’ i Bala-berita ho andriamaniny.
34 so the sons of Israel remembered not Yahweh, their own God, —who had rescued them out of the hand of all their enemies, on every side;
Ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely tsy nahatsiaro an’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny, Izay efa namonjy azy tamin’ ny tanan’ ny fahavalony rehetra nanodidina,
35 neither dealt they in lovingkindness with the house of Jerubbaal [namely] Gideon, —according to all the goodness wherewith he had dealt with Israel.
sady tsy nanao soa tamin’ ny taranak’ i Jerobala (na Gideona), araka izay soa rehetra nataon’ i Gideona tamin’ ny Isiraely, izy.
