Judges 7
1 The next morning, Gideon and his men got up early and went as far as Harod Spring. The army of Midian was camped north of them, in the valley near Moreh Hill.
Ní òwúrọ̀ kùtùkùtù Jerubbaali (èyí ni Gideoni) pẹ̀lú gbogbo àwọn ọmọ-ogun tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ kó ogun jọ lẹ́bàá a orísun Harodi. Àwọn ogun Midiani sì wà ní apá àríwá tí wọ́n ní àfonífojì tí ó wà ní ẹ̀bá òkè More.
2 Yahweh said to Gideon, “You have too many soldiers with you. If I allow all of you to fight the army of Midian, [if your army defeats them], they will boast to me that they defeated their enemies by themselves, [without my help].
Olúwa wí fún Gideoni pé, “Àwọn ọmọ-ogun tí o kójọ sọ́dọ̀ ti pọ̀jù fún mi láti fi àwọn ogun Midiani lé wọn lọ́wọ́, kí Israẹli má ba à gbé ara rẹ̀ ga sí mi wí pé agbára òun ni ó gbà á là,
3 So tell the men, ‘Whoever among you is timid or afraid may leave us and go home.’” So [after Gideon told that to them], 22,000 of them went home. Only 10,000 men were left there.
sì kéde sí àwọn ènìyàn nísinsin yìí pé, ‘Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá ń gbọ̀n, tí ó sì ń bẹ̀rù lè padà sẹ́yìn, kí ó sì kúrò lórí òkè Gileadi.’” Báyìí ni Gideoni ṣe ya àwọn ènìyàn náà. Ẹgbẹ̀rún méjìlélógún ọkùnrin sì padà sẹ́yìn àwọn ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́wàá sì dúró.
4 But Yahweh told Gideon, “There are still too many men! Take them down to the spring, and there I will choose from among them, which ones will go with you and which ones will not go.”.
Olúwa sì tún sọ fún Gideoni pé, “Àwọn ènìyàn yìí sì tún pọ̀jù. Kó wọn lọ sí ibi tí omi wà, èmi yóò sì yọ̀rọ̀ wọn níbẹ̀ fún ọ. Bí mo bá wí pé eléyìí yóò bá ọ lọ yóò lọ, ṣùgbọ́n tí mo bá sọ pé, ‘Eléyìí kò ní bá ọ lọ,’ òun kò gbọdọ̀ lọ.”
5 When Gideon took the men down to the spring, Yahweh told him, “When they drink, put into one group the ones who scoop the water into their hands, and then lap it up like dogs do. Put into another group the ones who kneel down [and bend over] and drink with their mouths in the water.”
Gideoni sì kó àwọn ọkùnrin náà lọ sí ibi ìsun omi. Níbẹ̀ ni Olúwa ti wí fún un pé, “Kí ó pín àwọn ènìyàn náà sí ọ̀nà méjì. Ya àwọn tí ó fi ahọ́n wọn lá omi bí ajá kúrò lára àwọn tí ó kúnlẹ̀ láti mu omi pẹ̀lú ọwọ́ wọn.”
6 So when they drank, only 300 men drank from their hands. All the others drank with their mouths down in the water.
Ọ̀ọ́dúnrún ọkùnrin ni ó lá omi pẹ̀lú ahọ́n wọn. Gbogbo àwọn ìyókù ni ó kúnlẹ̀ láti mu mi.
7 Then Yahweh told Gideon, “The 300 men who lapped the water from their hands will be your army! I will enable them to defeat the Midian army. Let all the others go home!”
Olúwa wí fún Gideoni pé, “Àwọn ọ̀ọ́dúnrún ọkùnrin tí ó lá omi ni èmi yóò lò láti gbà yín là àti láti fi ogun Midiani lé yín lọ́wọ́. Jẹ́ kí àwọn tókù padà sí ilé wọn.”
8 So Gideon’s 300 men collected the food and rams’ horns from all the other men, and then he sent them home. The men of Midian were camping in the valley below Gideon.
Báyìí ni Gideoni ṣe dá àwọn Israẹli tí ó kù padà sí àgọ́ wọn, ṣùgbọ́n ó dá àwọn ọ̀ọ́dúnrún ọkùnrin náà dúró. Àwọn wọ̀nyí sì gba gbogbo ohun èlò àti fèrè àwọn tí ó ti padà. Ibùdó ogun àwọn Midiani wà ní àfonífojì ní ìsàlẹ̀. Ibi tí ó wà.
9 That night, Yahweh said to Gideon, “Get up and go down to their camp, [and you will hear something that will convince you that] I will enable your men to defeat them.
Ní òru ọjọ́ náà Olúwa sọ fún Gideoni pé, “Dìde, dojú ogun kọ ibùdó ogun àwọn ará Midiani nítorí èmi yóò fi lé ọ lọ́wọ́.
10 But if you are afraid to attack them by yourself, take your servant Purah with you.
Ṣùgbọ́n bí ẹ̀rù àti kọlù wọ́n bá ń bà ọ́, yọ́ wọ ibùdó wọn lọ kí o mú Pura ìránṣẹ́ rẹ lọ́wọ́
11 Go down and listen to what some of the Midian soldiers are saying. Then you will be very encouraged, and you will be ready to attack their camp.” So Gideon took Purah with him, and they went down to the edge of the enemy camp.
kí o sì fi ara balẹ̀ gbọ́ ohun tí wọ́n ń sọ nínú ibùdó náà. Lẹ́yìn èyí ọkàn rẹ̀ yóò le láti kọlù ibùdó náà.” Báyìí ni òun àti Pura ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ wọ ẹnu-ọ̀nà ibùdó yìí.
12 The armies of the people of Midian and Amalek and from the east had set up their tents and looked like a swarm of locusts. It seemed that their camels were as impossible to count as the grains of sand on the seashore.
Àwọn ará Midiani, àwọn ará Amaleki àti gbogbo ènìyàn ìlà-oòrùn tó lọ ní àfonífojì bí eṣú ni wọ́n rí nítorí púpọ̀ wọn. Àwọn ìbákasẹ wọn kò sì lóǹkà, wọ́n sì pọ̀ bí yanrìn inú Òkun.
13 Gideon crept closer and heard one man telling a friend about a dream. He said, “I just had a dream, and in the dream I saw a round loaf of barley bread tumble down into our Midian camp. It struck a tent so hard that the tent turned upside down and collapsed!”
Gideoni dé sí àsìkò tí ọkùnrin kan bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í rọ́ àlá tí ó lá sí ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ̀. Ó ní, “Mo lá àlá kan, nínú àlá náà mo rí àkàrà kan tó ṣe róbótó tí a fi barle ṣe ń yí wọ inú ibùdó àwọn ará Midiani, ó sì kọlu àgọ́ pẹ̀lú agbára ńlá dé bi wí pé àgọ́ náà dojúdé, ó sì ṣubú.”
14 His friend said, “Your dream can mean only one thing. It means that God will enable Gideon, the man of Israel, to defeat all of the armies that are here with us men from Midian.”
Ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ̀ dá a lóhùn pé, “Èyí kò le túmọ̀ sí ohun mìíràn ju idà Gideoni ọmọ Joaṣi ará Israẹli lọ: Ọlọ́run ti fi àwọn ará Midiani àti gbogbo ogun ibùdó lé e lọ́wọ́.”
15 When Gideon heard the [man tell about his] dream and the meaning of that dream, he thanked God. Then he [and Purah] returned to the Israeli camp, and he shouted to the men, “Get up! Because God is enabling you to defeat the men from Midian!”
Nígbà tí Gideoni gbọ́ àlá náà àti ìtumọ̀ rẹ̀, ó wólẹ̀ sin Ọlọ́run: lẹ́yìn náà ni ó padà sí ibùdó àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ó sì pè wọ́n pé, “Ẹ dìde! Nítorí pé Olúwa yóò lò yín láti ṣẹ́gun gbogbo ogun Midiani.”
16 He divided his men into three groups. He gave each man a ram’s horn and an empty clay jar. He also gave each of them a torch [that they lit].
Nígbà tí ó ti pín àwọn ọ̀ọ́dúnrún ọkùnrin wọ̀n-ọn-nì sí ọ̀nà mẹ́ta, ó fi fèrè, pẹ̀lú àwọn òfìfo ìkòkò lé ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan wọn lọ́wọ́, iná sì wà nínú àwọn ìkòkò náà.
17 Then he said to them, “Watch me. When we come close to the enemy camp, [spread out to surround the camp]. Then do exactly what I do.
Ó sọ fún wọn pé, “Ẹ máa wò mí, kí ẹ sì máa ṣe ohun tí mo bá ṣe. Nígbà tí mo bá dé igun ibùdó wọn ẹ ṣe ohun tí mo bá ṣe.
18 As soon as I and the men with me blow our ram’s horns, you men in the other two groups surrounding the camp blow your horns and shout, ‘[We are doing this] for Yahweh and for Gideon!’”
Nígbà tí èmi àti àwọn ọkùnrin tí ó wà pẹ̀lú mi bá fun fèrè wa, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí ẹ̀yin náà ni gbogbo igun ibùdó tí ẹ̀ bá wà kí ẹ fun àwọn fèrè yín kí ẹ sì hó pé, ‘Fún Olúwa àti fún Gideoni.’”
19 A while before midnight, just after a new group of Israeli guards took the places of the previous group, Gideon and the 100 men with him arrived at the edge of the Midian camp. Suddenly they all blew their horns, and broke their jars.
Gideoni àti àwọn ọgọ́rùn-ún ọkùnrin tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ dé òpin ibùdó àwọn ará Midiani ní nǹkan bí agogo méjìlá padà. Wọ́n fun fèrè wọn, wọ́n sì tún fọ́ àwọn ìkòkò tí ó wà ní ọwọ́ mọ́lẹ̀.
20 Then the men in all three groups blew their horns and smashed their jars. They held the torches high with their left hands, and held up the horns with their right hands and alternatively blew them and shouted, “[We have] swords [to fight] for Yahweh and for Gideon!”
Àwọn ẹgbẹ́ mẹ́tẹ̀ẹ̀ta fun fèrè wọn, wọ́n tún fọ́ àwọn ìkòkò wọn mọ́lẹ̀. Wọ́n mú àwọn fìtílà iná wọn ní ọwọ́ òsì wọn àti fèrè tí wọ́n ń fun ní ọwọ́ ọ̀tún wọn. Wọ́n pariwo hé è pé, “Idà kan fún Olúwa àti fún Gideoni!”
21 Each of Gideon’s men stood in his position around the enemy camp. As they watched, all the Midian men started running around and shouting in a panic.
Nígbà tí ọkùnrin kọ̀ọ̀kan dúró ní ipò rẹ̀ yí ibùdó àwọn Midiani ká, gbogbo àwọn ọmọ-ogun Midiani ń sá káàkiri, wọ́n ń pariwo bí wọ́n ṣe ń sálọ.
22 While the 300 Israeli men kept blowing their horns, Yahweh caused their enemies to start fighting each other with their swords/daggers. Some of them killed each other. The rest fled. Some fled south to Beth-Shittah. Some fled to Zerarah [village], near Tabbath.
Nígbà tí àwọn ọ̀ọ́dúnrún ọkùnrin wọ̀n-ọn-nì fun fèrè wọn, Olúwa sì yí ojú idà ọkùnrin kọ̀ọ̀kan padà sí ẹnìkejì rẹ̀ àti sí gbogbo ogun wọn. Àwọn ọmọ-ogun sì sá títí dé Beti-Sitta ní ọ̀nà Serera títí lọ dé ìpínlẹ̀ Abeli-Mehola ní ẹ̀bá Tabbati.
23 Then Gideon sent messages to the soldiers in the areas where the descendants of Naphtali, Asher, and Manasseh lived, to tell them to come and pursue the army of Midian.
Gbogbo àwọn ọmọ-ogun Israẹli láti ẹ̀yà Naftali, Aṣeri àti gbogbo Manase ni Gideoni ránṣẹ́ si, wọ́n wá wọ́n sì lé àwọn ará Midiani.
24 He also sent messengers throughout the hilly area where the descendants of Ephraim lived, saying, “Come down to attack the army of Midian. Come down to the Jordan River, to the place where people can wade across, to prevent enemy troops from crossing it! Station men as far south as Beth-Barah.” So the men of Ephraim did what Gideon told them to do.
Gideoni tún ránṣẹ́ sí gbogbo àwọn ìlú tí ó wà ní orí òkè Efraimu wí pé, “Ẹ jáde wá bá àwọn ará Midiani jà, kí ẹ tètè gba àwọn omi Jordani títí dé Beti-Bara kí wọ́n tó dé bẹ̀.” Báyìí ni a ṣe pe gbogbo ọkùnrin ológun Efraimu jáde tí wọ́n sì gba gbogbo àwọn à bá wọ odò Jordani títí dé Beti-Bara.
25 They also captured Oreb and Zeeb, the two generals of the Midian army. They killed Oreb at [the big rock which is now called] the rock of Oreb, and they killed Zeeb at [the place where people crush grapes that is now called] the winepress of Zeeb. Afterwards, the Israelis cut off the heads of Oreb and Zeeb and brought them to Gideon, while he was near the Jordan River.
Wọ́n mú méjì nínú àwọn olórí àwọn ará Midiani, àwọn náà ni Orebu àti Seebu. Wọ́n pa Horebu nínú àpáta Orebu, wọ́n sì pa Seebu níbi tí àwọn ènìyàn ti mọ̀ fún wáìnì tí a ń pè ní ìfúntí Seebu.
