< Judges 8 >

1 And they said to him [the] man of Ephraim what? [is] the thing this [which] you have done to us to not to summon us that you went to fight against Midian and they quarreled! with him with force.
Mibali ya Efrayimi batunaki Jedeon: — Bizaleli ya boye elakisi nini epai na biso? Mpo na nini obengaki biso te tango okendeki kobundisa bato ya Madiani? Mpe basilikelaki ye makasi.
2 And he said to them what? have I done now like you ¿ not good [are] [the] gleanings of Ephraim more than [the] grape harvest of Abiezer.
Kasi Jedeon azongiselaki bango: — Nasali nini oyo ekokani na oyo bino bosala? Boni, ndambo ya bambuma ya vino oyo etikalaki na sima mpo ete Efrayimi abuka yango ezali kitoko te koleka bambuma ya vino ya liboso ya Abiezeri?
3 In hand your he has given God [the] commanders of Midian Oreb and Zeeb and what? have I been able to do like you then it relaxed spirit their from on him when said he the word this.
Nzambe akabaki bakonzi ya bato ya Madiani, Orebi mpe Zeebi, na maboko na bino. Eloko nini ya lokumu ngai nasali oyo ekokani na oyo bino bosala? Liloba oyo ekitisaki kanda na bango.
4 And he came Gideon the Jordan towards [was] passing over he and three hundred the man who [were] with him [were] exhausted and pursuing.
Jedeon elongo na basoda na ye nkama misato bakomaki na Yordani mpe bakatisaki yango. Atako balembaki, bakobaki kaka kolanda bato ya Madiani.
5 And he said to [the] people of Succoth give please round loaves of bread to the people which [is] at feet my for [are] exhausted they and I [am] pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna [the] kings of Midian.
Tango bakomaki na mboka Sukoti, Jedeon asengaki na bato ya mboka: — Bopesa basoda na ngai mapa, pamba te basili kolemba na nzala. Nazali kolanda Zeba mpe Tsalimuna, bakonzi ya Madiani.
6 And he said [the] officials of Succoth ¿ [is] [the] hand of Zebah and Zalmunna now in hand your that we will give to army your bread.
Kasi bakonzi ya mboka Sukoti bazongiselaki ye: — Boni, osili kozwa Zeba mpe Tsalimuna na se ya bokonzi na yo mpo ete biso topesa basoda na yo mapa?
7 And he said Gideon therefore when gives Yahweh Zebah and Zalmunna in hand my and I will thresh flesh your with thorns of the wilderness and with briers.
Jedeon alobaki: — Lokola bolobi boye, tango Yawe akokaba, na maboko na ngai, Zeba mpe Tsalimuna, nakopasola-pasola misuni na bino na basende ya esobe mpe na singa ya nzube.
8 And he went up from there Penuel and he spoke to them like this and they answered him [the] men of Penuel just as they had answered [the] men of Succoth.
Wuta kuna, Jedeon amataki na mboka Penueli mpe asengaki epai ya bavandi na yango, ndenge kaka asengaki epai ya bato ya Sukoti. Kasi bato ya Penueli bazongiselaki ye ndenge kaka bato ya Sukoti basalaki.
9 And he said also to [the] men of Penuel saying when return I in peace I will tear down the tower this.
Jedeon alobaki na bato ya Penueli: « Soki nakozonga na kimia mpe na bomoi, nakobuka ndako molayi na bino. »
10 And Zebah and Zalmunna [were] in Karkor and armies their [were] with them about fif-teen thousand all those [who] remained of all [the] army of [the] people of [the] east and those [who] fell [were] one hundred and twenty thousand man [who] drew [the] sword.
Nzokande, Zeba mpe Tsalimuna bazalaki na Karikori elongo na basoda na bango, nkoto zomi na mitano. Oyo ezali nde motango nyonso ya basoda ya bato ya este oyo batikalaki. Pamba te basoda nkoto nkama moko na tuku mibale oyo bayebi kobunda na mopanga bakufaki.
11 And he went up Gideon [the] way of those [who] dwell in tents from [the] east of Nobah and Jogbehah and he attacked the army and the army it was security.
Bongo, Jedeon akendeki na nzela ya bavandi ya bandako ya kapo, na ngambo ya este ya Noba mpe ya Yogibeka; abetaki mampinga ya banguna na mopanga mpe alongaki bango tango bazalaki kokanisa ete bazali na kimia.
12 And they fled Zebah and Zalmunna and he pursued after them and he captured [the] two - [the] kings of Midian Zebah and Zalmunna and all the army he routed.
Zeba mpe Tsalimuna, bakonzi mibale ya Madiani, bakimaki; kasi Jedeon alandaki mpe akangaki bango. Mpe apanzaki mampinga na bango nyonso.
13 And he returned Gideon [the] son of Joash from the battle from to [the] ascent of Heres.
Jedeon, mwana mobali ya Joasi, azongaki wuta na bitumba na nzela ya ngomba Eresi.
14 And he captured a young man one of [the] men of Succoth and he enquired of him and he wrote down to him [the] officials of Succoth and elders its seventy and seven man.
Akangaki elenge mobali moko kati na mibali ya mboka Sukoti, mpe atunaki ye mituna. Boye, elenge mobali yango akomelaki ye bakombo ya bakambi mpe ya bampaka tuku sambo na sambo ya engumba.
15 And he came to [the] men of Succoth and he said here! Zebah and Zalmunna whom you taunted me saying ¿ [is] [the] hand of Zebah and Zalmunna now in hand your that we will give to men your weary bread.
Jedeon akendeki epai ya bato ya mboka Sukoti mpe alobaki na bango: « Tala Zeba mpe Tsalimuna oyo bofingelaki ngai na koloba: ‹ Osili kotia na se ya bokonzi na yo Zeba mpe Tsalumuna mpo ete biso topesa lipa na basoda na yo, oyo basili kolemba? › »
16 And he took [the] elders of the city and [the] thorns of the wilderness and the briers and he taught with them [the] men of Succoth.
Azwaki bampaka ya engumba Sukoti mpe abetisaki bango fimbu, na basende ya esobe mpe singa ya nzube.
17 And [the] tower of Penuel he tore down and he killed [the] men of the city.
Abukaki ndako molayi ya Penueli mpe abomaki mibali ya engumba.
18 And he said to Zebah and to Zalmunna where? [are] the men whom you killed at Tabor (and they said *L(abh)*) like you like them one [was] like [the] appearance of [the] sons of the king.
Jedeon atunaki Zeba mpe Tsalimuna: — Mibali oyo bobomaki na Tabori, bazalaki ndenge nini? Bazongisaki: — Bakokanaki na yo mpe bazalaki lokola bana ya bakonzi.
19 And he said [were] brothers my [the] sons of mother my they [by] [the] life of Yahweh if you had let live them not I killed you.
Jedeon alobaki na bango lisusu: — Bato wana bazalaki bandeko na ngai ya mibali, bana ya mama na ngai penza. Na Kombo na Yawe, soki bobikisaki bango, ngai mpe nalingaki koboma bino te.
20 And he said to Jether firstborn his arise kill them and not he drew the young man sword his for he was afraid for still he [was] a young man.
Mpe apesaki mitindo na Yeteri, mwana na ye ya liboso ya mobali: « Telema mpe boma bango! » Kasi elenge mobali abimisaki mopanga na ye te, pamba te azalaki nanu elenge mpe azalaki na somo.
21 And he said Zebah and Zalmunna arise you and fall on us for [is] like the man strength his and he arose Gideon and he killed Zebah and Zalmunna and he took the ornaments which [were] on [the] necks of camels their.
Zeba mpe Tsalimuna balobaki: « Telema mpe boma biso yo moko, pamba te likambo oyo ekoki na bato ya mitema makasi. » Boye, Jedeon atelemaki mpe abomaki bango. Akamataki bamedayi ya wolo oyo ezalaki na bakingo ya bashamo na bango.
22 And they said [the] man of Israel to Gideon rule over us both you as well as son your as well as [the] son of son your for you have delivered us from [the] hand of Midian.
Bana ya Isalaele balobaki na Jedeon: — Zala mokonzi na biso, yo moko, mwana na yo ya mobali mpe koko na yo ya mobali, pamba te obikisi biso na loboko ya bato ya Madiani.
23 And he said to them Gideon not I will rule I over you and not he will rule son my over you Yahweh he will rule over you.
Kasi Jedeon alobaki na bango: — Nakozala mokonzi na bino te, ezala ata mwana na ngai ya mobali. Yawe nde akozala mokonzi na bino.
24 And he said to them Gideon let me ask from you a petition and give to me everyone earring of plunder his for earrings of gold [belonged] to them for [were] Ishmaelites they.
Jedeon abakisaki: — Nalingi kosenga bino eloko moko: Kati na biloko oyo bino bosili kozwa na bitumba, tika ete moko na moko kati na bino apesa ngai eloko ya litoyi. Pamba te banguna na biso bazalaki kolata biloko ya matoyi mpo ete bazali bana ya Isimaeli.
25 And they said certainly we will give [them] and they spread out the garment and they threw there towards everyone earring of plunder his.
Bana ya Isalaele bazongisaki: — Tokopesa yango. Batandaki elamba na mabele, moko na moko abwakaki eloko na ye ya litoyi, oyo ewutaki na bomengo ya bitumba.
26 And it was [the] weight of [the] earrings of gold which he asked for one thousand and seven hundred gold apart from the ornaments and the pendants and [the] garments of purple that [were] on [the] kings of Midian and apart from the necklaces which [were] on [the] necks of camels their.
Biloko ya matoyi ya wolo, oyo Jedeon asengaki ezalaki ya bakilo pene tuku mibale, longola bamedayi ya wolo oyo ezalaki lokola sanza ya ndambo, biloko ya matoyi oyo ediembelaka, bilamba ya talo ya motane makasi oyo bakonzi ya Madiani balataki mpe mayaka oyo ezalaki na bakingo ya bashamo na bango.
27 And he made it Gideon into an ephod and he placed it in city his in Ophrah and they acted as prostitutes all Israel after it there and it became for Gideon and for household his a snare.
Jedeon asalelaki yango ekeko oyo atiaki na Ofira, engumba na ye. Bana ya Isalaele bakomaki kokende kofukama liboso ya ekeko yango, mpe ekomaki motambo monene mpo na Jedeon mpe libota na ye.
28 And it was subdued Midian before [the] people of Israel and not they repeated to lift up head their and it was at peace the land forty year[s] in [the] days of Gideon.
Boye, bato ya Madiani bakitisamaki liboso ya bana ya Isalaele mpe batombolaki lisusu mito na bango te. Na tango nyonso oyo Jedeon azalaki na bomoi, mokili etikalaki na kimia mibu tuku minei.
29 And he went Jerub-Baal [the] son of Joash and he dwelt in own house his.
Yerubali, mwana mobali ya Joasi, azongaki na ndako na ye mpe avandaki kuna.
30 And to Gideon they belonged seventy sons [who] came out of thigh his for wives many they belonged to him.
Jedeon azalaki na bana tuku sambo oyo bawutaki na mokongo na ye, pamba te azalaki na basi ebele.
31 And concubine his who [was] in Shechem she bore to him also she a son and he made name his Abimelech.
Makangu na ye, oyo azalaki kovanda na Sishemi, abotelaki ye mpe mwana mobali oyo bapesaki kombo « Abimeleki. »
32 And he died Gideon [the] son of Joash in old age good and he was buried in [the] tomb of Joash father his in Ophrah of [the] Abi-ezrite[s].
Jedeon, mwana mobali ya Joasi, akufaki na kimobange ya esengo, mpe bakundaki ye kati na kunda ya Joasi, na Ofira, mboka ya libota ya Abiezeri.
33 And it was just when he had died Gideon and they turned back [the] people of Israel and they acted as prostitutes after the Baals and they made for themselves Baal-Berith into god.
Sima na kufa ya Jedeon, bana ya Isalaele bazongelaki kosambela banzambe Bala. Bakomisaki Bala-Beriti nzambe na bango.
34 And not they remembered [the] people of Israel Yahweh God their who delivered them from [the] hand of all enemies their from round about.
Bana ya Isalaele babosanaki Yawe, Nzambe na bango, oyo akangolaki bango na maboko ya banguna na bango.
35 And not they did loyalty with [the] house of Jerub-Baal Gideon according to all the good which he had done with Israel.
Bazongisaki ata bolamu moko te na libota ya Yerubali oyo elakisi Jedeon, mpo na bolamu nyonso oyo asalelaki Isalaele.
