< Judges 8 >

1 The men of Ephraim said to Gideon, “What is this you have done to us? You did not call us when you went to fight against Midian.” Then they had a violent argument with him.
Kinuna dagiti tattao ti Efraim kenni Gideon, “Ania daytoy nga inaramidmo kadakami? Saannakami nga inayaban idi napanka nakigubat iti Midian.” Ket nakisinnuppiatda kenkuana iti kasta unay.
2 He said to them, “What have I done now compared to you? Are not the gleanings of Ephraim's grapes better than the full grape harvest of Abiezer?
Kinunana kadakuada, “Ania ita ti inaramidko a maiyasping kadakayo? Saan aya a nasaysayaat dagiti matudtud nga ubas ti Efraim ngem ti sibubukel nga apit iti ubas ni Abie-zer?
3 God has given you victory over the princes of Midian—Oreb and Zeeb! What have I accomplished compared to you?” Their anger toward him died down when he said this.
Pinagballiginakayo ti Dios kadagiti prinsipe ti Midian- da Oreb ken Zeeb! Ania ti naaramidko a maiyasping kadakayo?” Bimmaaw ti ungetda kenkuana idi imbagana daytoy.
4 Gideon came to the Jordan and crossed over it, he and the three hundred men who were with him. They were exhausted, yet they still kept up the pursuit.
Dimteng ni Gideon idiay Jordan ket bimmallasiw iti daytoy, isuna ken dagiti tallo gasut a lallaki a kaduana. Nabannogdan, ngem intultuloyda latta ti panagkamatda.
5 He said to the men of Succoth, “Please give loaves of bread to the people who follow me, for they are exhausted, and I am pursuing Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian.”
Kinunana kadagiti lallaki ti Succot, “Pangngaasiyo ta ikkanyo ti tinapay dagiti tattao a sumursurot kaniak, gapu ta nabannogdan, ket kamkamatek da Zeba ken Salmunna, dagiti ari ti Midian.”
6 Then the officials said, “Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in your hand? Why should we give bread to your army?”
Kinuna dagiti mangidadaulo iti Succot, “Naparmekmo kadin da Zeba ken Salmunna? Saanmi nga ammo no apay a rumbeng nga ikkanmi iti tinapay ti armadam.”
7 Gideon said, “When Yahweh has given us victory over Zebah and Zalmunna, I will tear your skin with the desert thorns and briers.”
Kinuna ni Gideon, “Inton pagballigiennakami ni Yahweh kada Zeba ken Salmunna, pirsapirsayekto ti lasagyo babaen kadagiti sisiit iti let-ang ken kadagiti sisiitan a mula.”
8 He went up from there to Peniel and spoke to the people there in the same way, but the men of Peniel answered him just as the men of Succoth had answered.
Simmang-at isuna idiay Penuel manipud sadiay ket nakisarita kadagiti tattao sadiay iti isu met laeng a wagas, ngem sinungbatan isuna dagiti lallaki idiay Penuel iti kas met laeng iti insungbat dagiti lallaki idiay Succot.
9 He spoke also to the men of Peniel and said, “When I come again in peace, I will pull down this tower.”
Nagsao met isuna kadagiti lallaki ti Penuel ket kinunana, “Inton agsubliak manen a sikakappia, rebbaekto daytoy a torre.”
10 Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor with their army, about fifteen thousand men, all who remained out of the entire army of the people of the East, for there had fallen 120,000 men who drew the sword.
Ita, adda da Zeba ken Salmunna idiay Carcor, agraman ti armadada, agarup 15, 000 a lallaki, dagiti amin a nabati iti entero nga armada dagiti tattao iti daya. Gapu ta napasag ti 120, 000 a lallaki a nasanay a makigubat babaen iti kampilan.
11 Gideon went up the road taken by tent dwellers, past Nobah and Jogbehah. He defeated the enemy army, because they were not expecting an attack.
Simmang-at ni Gideon iti kampo ti kabusor a nagna iti dalan ti Nomad, a limmabas idiay Noba ken Jogbea. Pinarmekna ti armada ti kabusor, gapu ta saanda a namnamaen ti panangraut.
12 Zebah and Zalmunna fled, and as Gideon pursued them, he captured the two kings of Midian—Zebah and Zalmunna—and set their whole army into a panic.
Nagtaray da Zeba ken Salmunna, ket kabayatan a kamkamaten ida ni Gideon, natiliwna dagiti dua nga ari ti Midian- da Zeba ken Salmunna- ken riniribukna ti amin nga armadada.
13 Gideon, son of Joash, returned from the battle going through the pass of Heres.
Nagsubli ni Gideon a putot a lalaki ni Joas manipud iti paggugubatan a nagna iti bessang ti Heres.
14 He caught a young man of Succoth and questioned him. The young man wrote down the names of seventy-seven officials and elders of Succoth.
Nakasabat isuna iti maysa nga agtutubo a lalaki kadagiti tattao ti Succot ket nagdamag isuna kenkuana. Inladawan ti agtutubo a lalaki kenkuana dagiti mangidadaulo iti Succot ken dagiti panglakayen daytoy, pitopulo ket pito a lallaki.
15 Gideon came to the men of Succoth and said, “Look at Zebah and Zalmunna, about whom you mocked me and said, 'Have you already conquered Zebah and Zalmunna? We do not know that we should give bread to your army.'”
Napan ni Gideon kadagiti lallaki ti Succot ket kinunana, “Kitaenyo da Zeba ken Salmunna, a nanglaisanyo kaniak a kinunayo, ‘Naparmekmo kadin da Zeba ken Salmunna? Saanmi nga ammo no apay a rumbeng nga ikkanmi iti tinapay ti armadam.”'
16 Gideon took the elders of the city, and he punished the men of Succoth with the desert thorns and briers.
Innala ni Gideon dagiti panglakayen ti siudad, ket dinusana dagiti lallaki ti Succot babaen kadagiti sisiit ti let-ang ken nasiit a mulmula.
17 Then he pulled down the tower of Peniel and killed the men of that city.
Ket rinebbana ti torre ti Penuel ken pinatayna dagiti lallaki iti dayta a siudad.
18 Then Gideon said to Zebah and Zalmunna, “What kind of men did you kill at Tabor?” They answered, “As you are, so were they. Every one of them looked like the son of a king.”
Kinuna ni Gideon kada Zeba ken Salmunna, “Ania ti langa dagiti tattao a pinatayyo idiay Tabor?” Insungbatda, “No kasano ti langam, kasta met kadakuada. Aglanglanga ti tunggal maysa kadakuada a kasla anak iti maysa nga ari.”
19 Gideon said, “They were my brothers, the sons of my mother. As Yahweh lives, if you had saved them alive, I would not kill you.”
Kinuna ni Gideon, “Kakabsatko ida, dagiti annak a lallaki ti inak. Iti nagan ni Yahweh nga adda iti agnanayon, no pinagtalinaedyo koma ida a sibibiag, saankayo koma a patayen.”
20 He said to Jether (his firstborn), “Get up and kill them!” But the young man did not draw his sword for he was afraid, because he was still a young boy.
Kinunana kenni Jeter (ti inauna nga anakna), “Tumakderka ket patayem ida!” Ngem saan nga inasut ti agtutubo a lalaki ti kampilanna ta mabuteng isuna, gapu ta ubing pay laeng isuna.
21 Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, “Get up yourself and kill us! For as the man is, so is his strength.” Gideon rose and killed Zebah and Zalmunna. He also took off the crescent-shaped ornaments that were on their camels' necks.
Ket kinuna da Zeba ken Salmunna, “Tumakderka ket patayennakami! Ta kas iti kinalalaki, kasta met ti pigsana.” Timmakder ni Gideon ket pinatayna da Zeba ken Salmunna. Innalana pay dagiti ar-arkos a sinan-bulan nga adda kadagiti tengnged dagiti kamelioda.
22 Then the men of Israel said to Gideon, “Rule over us—you, your son, and your grandson—because you have saved us out of the hand of Midian.”
Kalpasanna, kinuna dagiti lallaki ti Israel kenni Gideon, “Iturayannakami- sika, ti putotmo a lalaki ken ti appokom a lalaki- gapu ta insalakannakami iti pannakabalin ti Midian.
23 Gideon said to them, “I will not rule over you, neither will my son rule over you. Yahweh will rule over you.”
Kinuna ni Gideon kadakuada, “Saan a siak ti mangituray kadakayo, wenno ti anakko a lalaki ti mangituray kadakayo. Ni Yahweh ti mangituray kadakayo.”
24 Gideon said to them, “Let me make a request of you: Every one of you would give me the earrings from his plunder.” (The Midianites had golden earrings because they were Ishmaelites.)
Kinuna ni Gideon kadakuada, “Adda koma kiddawek kadakayo: nga ited koma kaniak ti tunggal maysa kadakayo dagiti aritos manipud iti sinamsamna.” (Addaan dagiti Midianita kadagiti balitok nga aritos gapu ta Ismaelitada.)
25 They answered, “We are glad to give them to you.” They spread out a cloak and every man threw on it the earrings from his plunder.
Insungbatda, “Siraragsakkami a mangited kadagitoy kenka.” Nangiyaplagda iti kagay ket impuruak ti tunggal lalaki iti daytoy dagiti aritos manipud iti sinamsamna.
26 The weight of the golden earrings that he requested was 1,700 shekels of gold. This plunder was in addition to the crescent ornaments, the pendants, the purple clothing that was worn by the kings of Midian, and in addition to the chains that had been around their camels' necks.
1, 700 a siklo iti balitok ti kadagsen dagiti balitok nga aritos a kiniddawna. Mainayon daytoy a sinamsam kadagiti sinan-bulan nga ar-arkos, kadagiti bitin-bitin, kadagiti maris-ube a pagan-anay nga ingkawes dagiti ari ti Midian, ken mainayon kadagiti kawar a naipalikmut kadagiti tengnged dagiti kamelioda.
27 Gideon made an ephod out of the earrings and put it in his city, in Ophrah, and all Israel prostituted themselves by worshiping it there. It became a trap for Gideon and for those in his house.
Nangaramid ni Gideon iti efod manipud kadagiti aritos ket ingkabilna daytoy iti siudadna, idiay Ofra, ket nagbalangkantis dagiti amin nga Israel babaen iti panagdaydayawda iti daytoy sadiay. Nagbalin daytoy a palab-og para kenni Gideon ken kadagiti adda iti balayna.
28 So Midian was subdued before the people of Israel and they did not raise their heads up again. So the land had peace for forty years in the days of Gideon.
Naparmek ngarud ti Midian iti sangoanan dagiti tattao ti Israel ket saandan nga inngato manen dagiti uloda. Ket adda ti kappia iti daga iti las-ud iti uppat a pulo a tawen kadagiti al-aldaw ni Gideon.
29 Jerub Baal, son of Joash, went and lived in his own house.
Nagsubli ni Jerubbaal a putot ni Joas ket nagnaed iti bukodna a balay.
30 Gideon had seventy sons who were his descendants, for he had many wives.
Pitopulo a lallaki ti putot ni Gideon, gapu ta adu ti assawana.
31 His concubine, who was in Shechem, also bore him a son, and Gideon gave him the name Abimelech.
Nangipasngay met kenkuana iti lalaki ti kabkabbalayenna nga adda idi idiay Sikem, ket pinanaganan ni Gideon isuna iti Abimelec.
32 Gideon, son of Joash, died at a good old age and was buried in the tomb of Joash his father, at Ophrah of the clan of Abiezer.
Natay ni Gideon a putot a lalaki ni Joas idi lakay unayen isuna ket naitabon iti ayan ti tanem ni Joas nga amana, idiay Ofra iti puli ti Abie-zer.
33 It came about, as soon as Gideon was dead, the people of Israel turned again and prostituted themselves by worshiping the Baals. They made Baal-Berith their god.
Ket napasamak, apaman a natay ni Gideon, timmallikud manen dagiti tattao ti Israel ket nagbalangkantisda babaen iti panagdaydayawda kadagiti Baal. Pinagbalinda ni Baal-berit a diosda.
34 The people of Israel did not remember to honor Yahweh, their God, who had rescued them from the hand of all their enemies on every side.
Saan a nalagip dagiti tattao ti Israel a dayawen ni Yahweh a Diosda a nangispal kadakuada manipud iti pannakabalin dagiti amin a kabusorda iti aglawlawda.
35 They did not keep their promises to the house of Jerub Baal (that is, Gideon), in return for all the good he had done in Israel.
Saanda a tinungpal dagiti karida iti balay ni Jerubbaal (ti sabali pay a nagan ni Gideon) a kas subad iti amin a kinasayaat nga inaramidna iti Israel.
