< Judges 7 >

1 And Jerubbaal (he [is] Gideon) riseth early, and all the people who [are] with him, and they encamp by the well of Harod, and the camp of Midian hath been on the south of him, on the height of Moreh, in the valley.
Rũciinĩ tene, Jerubu-Baali (nĩwe Gideoni) na andũ ake othe nĩmambire hema gĩthima-inĩ kĩa Harodi. Kambĩ ya Amidiani yarĩ mwena wao wa gathigathini kũu gĩtuamba-inĩ, hakuhĩ na karĩma ka More.
2 And Jehovah saith unto Gideon, 'Too many [are] the people who [are] with thee for My giving Midian into their hand, lest Israel beautify itself against Me, saying, My hand hath given salvation to me;
Jehova akĩĩra Gideoni atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩ na andũ aingĩ mũno gũkĩra arĩa ngwenda nĩgeetha neane Amidiani moko-inĩ mao. Nĩgeetha Isiraeli matikanjĩtĩĩre atĩ nĩ hinya wao wamahonokia,
3 and now, call, I pray thee, in the ears of the people, saying, Whoso [is] afraid and trembling, let him turn back and go early from mount Gilead;' and there turn back of the people twenty and two thousand, and ten thousand have been left.
Na rĩrĩ, anĩrĩra kũrĩ andũ, ũmeere atĩrĩ, ‘Mũndũ o wothe ũrainaina nĩ guoya no ahũndũke, ehere Kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Gileadi.’” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ 22,000 na igĩrĩ makĩehera, magĩtigara 10,000.
4 And Jehovah saith unto Gideon, 'Yet [are] the people too many; bring them down unto the water, and I refine it for thee there; and it hath been, he of whom I say unto thee, This doth go with thee — he doth go with thee; and any of whom I say unto thee, This doth not go with thee — he doth not go.'
No Jehova akĩĩra Gideoni atĩrĩ, “O na rĩu andũ no aingĩ mũno. Maikũrũkie maaĩ-inĩ, na nĩngũgũthuuranĩria andũ acio ho. Ingiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Ũyũ nĩegũthiĩ hamwe nawe,’ ũcio nĩwe ũrĩthiĩ nawe; no ingiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Ũyũ ndegũthiĩ hamwe nawe,’ ũcio ndegũthiĩ nawe.”
5 And he bringeth down the people unto the water, and Jehovah saith unto Gideon, 'Every one who lappeth with his tongue of the water as the dog lappeth — thou dost set him apart; also every one who boweth on his knees to drink.'
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Gideoni agĩikũrũkia andũ acio maaĩ-inĩ. Marĩ hau Jehova akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Amũrania arĩa mekũnyua maaĩ na rũrĩmĩ ta ũrĩa ngui ĩnyuuaga na arĩa mekũnyua maaĩ na hĩ ciao maturĩtie ndu.”
6 And the number of those lapping with their hand unto their mouth is three hundred men, and all the rest of the people have bowed down on their knees to drink water.
Andũ magana matatũ makĩnyua maaĩ na hĩ ciao. Acio angĩ othe magĩturia ndu makĩnyua maaĩ.
7 And Jehovah saith unto Gideon, 'By the three hundred men who are lapping I save you, and have given Midian into thy hand, and all the people go, each to his place.'
Jehova akĩĩra Gideoni atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũmũhonokia na ũndũ wa andũ magana matatũ arĩa manyuire maaĩ na hĩ, neane Amidiani moko-inĩ manyu. Reke andũ acio angĩ othe mathiĩ, o mũndũ ainũke gwake.”
8 And the people take the provision in their hand, and their trumpets, and every man of Israel he hath sent away, each to his tents; and on the three hundred men he hath kept hold, and the camp of Midian hath been by him at the lower part of the valley.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Gideoni akĩĩra andũ acio angĩ a Isiraeli macooke hema-inĩ ciao, no agĩtigwo na andũ magana matatũ, arĩa mooire rĩĩgu na tũrumbeta twa acio mainũkire. Na rĩrĩ, kambĩ ya Amidiani yarĩ mũhuro wake o kũu kĩanda-inĩ.
9 And it cometh to pass, on that night, that Jehovah saith unto him, 'Rise, go down into the camp, for I have given it into thy hand;
Ũtukũ ũcio Jehova akĩĩra Gideoni atĩrĩ, “Ũkĩra, ũikũrũke ũtharĩkĩre kambĩ ĩyo ya Amidiani, tondũ nĩndĩmĩneanĩte moko-inĩ maku.
10 and if thou art afraid to go down — go down, thou and Phurah thy young man, unto the camp,
No angĩkorwo nĩũgwĩtigĩra gũtharĩkĩra-rĩ, gĩikũrũke kambĩ-inĩ mũrĩ na Pura ndungata yaku,
11 and thou hast heard what they speak, and afterwards are thy hands strengthened, and thou hast gone down against the camp.' And he goeth down, he and Phurah his young man, unto the extremity of the fifties who [are] in the camp;
na ũthikĩrĩrie ũrĩa maroiga. Thuutha ũcio nĩũkũgĩa na hinya wa gũtharĩkĩra kambĩ ĩyo.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Gideoni na Pura ndungata yake magĩikũrũka nginya tũnyũmba-inĩ twa arangĩri a kambĩ ĩyo.
12 and Midian and Amalek, and all the sons of the east are lying in the valley, as the locust for multitude, and of their camels there is no number, as sand which [is] on the sea-shore for multitude.
Nao Amidiani, na Aamaleki na andũ othe a mwena wa irathĩro maikarĩte kĩanda kĩu maingĩhĩte ta ngigĩ. Ngamĩĩra ciao itingĩatarĩkire nĩ ũndũ ciarĩ nyingĩ ta mũthanga wa hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria ũrĩa ũtangĩtarĩka.
13 And Gideon cometh in, and lo, a man is recounting to his companion a dream, and saith, 'Lo, a dream I have dreamed, and lo, a cake of barley-bread is turning itself over into the camp of Midian, and it cometh in unto the tent, and smiteth it, and it falleth, and turneth it upwards, and the tent hath fallen.'
Gideoni aakinyire ho o hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũndũ ũmwe eeraga mũratawe ũhoro wa kĩroto gĩake. Nake oigaga atĩrĩ, “Ndootete kĩroto ngoona mũgate wa cairi wa gĩthiũrũrĩ ũũkĩte ũkagwĩra kambĩ ya Amidiani. Ũragũthire hema na hinya mũnene mũno, nginya hema ĩrangʼaũka, ĩragũa.”
14 And his companion answereth and saith, 'This is nothing save the sword of Gideon son of Joash, a man of Israel; God hath given into his hand Midian and all the camp.'
Mũrata wake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ ti ũndũ ũngĩ tiga rũhiũ rwa Gideoni mũrũ wa Joashu, ũrĩa Mũisiraeli. Ngai nĩaneanĩte Amidiani na kambĩ yao yothe moko-inĩ make.”
15 And it cometh to pass, when Gideon heareth the narration of the dream and its interpretation, that he boweth himself, and turneth back unto the camp of Israel, and saith, 'Rise ye, for Jehovah hath given into your hand the camp of Midian.'
Rĩrĩa Gideoni aiguire ũhoro wa kĩroto kĩu na ũtaũri wakĩo, akĩhooya Ngai. Agĩcooka nginya kambĩ-inĩ ya Isiraeli akĩmeeta akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũkĩrai! Jehova nĩaneanĩte kambĩ ya Amidiani moko-inĩ manyu.”
16 And he divideth the three hundred men [into] three detachments, and putteth trumpets into the hand of all of them, and empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers.
Akĩgayania andũ acio magana matatũ ikundi ithatũ, akĩmanengera othe o mũndũ karumbeta na nyũngũ theri, ĩrĩ na kĩmũrĩ thĩinĩ.
17 And he saith unto them, 'Look at me, and thus do; and lo, I am coming into the extremity of the camp — and it hath been — as I do so ye do;
Nake akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ndoraai. Mwĩke o ũrĩa ngwĩka. Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ndĩrĩkinya mũthia-inĩ wa kambĩ, mwĩke o ũrĩa ndĩrĩka.
18 and I have blown with a trumpet — I and all who [are] with me, and ye have blown with trumpets, even ye, round about all the camp, and have said, For Jehovah and for Gideon.'
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa niĩ na arĩa othe ndĩ nao tũrĩhuha tũrumbeta twitũ, hĩndĩ ĩyo inyuothe mũthiũrũrũkĩirie kambĩ mũhuhe twanyu na mwanĩrĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ ũndũ wa Jehova o na wa Gideoni.’”
19 And Gideon cometh — and the hundred men who [are] with him — into the extremity of the camp, [at] the beginning of the middle watch (it hath only just confirmed the watchmen), and they blow with trumpets — dashing in pieces also the pitchers which [are] in their hand;
Gideoni na andũ acio igana rĩmwe arĩa maarĩ nake magĩkinya mũthia wa kambĩ o kĩambĩrĩria-inĩ kĩa ũtukũ gatagatĩ, thuutha hanini wa gũcenjania arangĩri. Makĩhuha tũrumbeta twao na makĩũraga nyũngũ iria ciarĩ moko-inĩ mao.
20 and the three detachments blow with trumpets, and break the pitchers, and keep hold with their left hand on the lamps, and with their right hand on the trumpets to blow, and they cry, 'The sword of Jehovah and of Gideon.'
Ikundi icio ithatũ ikĩhuha tũrumbeta, na ikĩũraga nyũngũ. Maanyiitĩte imũrĩ na moko mao ma ũmotho, na makanyiita tũrumbeta twao twa kũhuha na moko mao ma ũrĩo, nao makĩanĩrĩra atĩrĩ, “Rũhiũ rwa njora rwa Jehova na rwa Gideoni!”
21 And they stand each in his place, round about the camp, and all the camp runneth, and they shout, and flee;
Na rĩrĩa o mũndũ aarũgamire handũ hake gũthiũrũrũkĩria kambĩ-rĩ, Amidiani othe magĩtengʼera, magĩkayaga morĩte.
22 and the three hundred blow the trumpets, and Jehovah setteth the sword of each against his companion, even through all the camp; and the camp fleeth unto Beth-Shittah, at Zererath, unto the border of Abel-Meholah, by Tabbath.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa tũrumbeta tũu magana matatũ twahuhirwo, Jehova agĩtũma andũ arĩa maarĩ kambĩ-inĩ yothe mahũũrane na hiũ ciao cia njora mũndũ na mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ. Nayo mbũtũ ĩyo yothe ĩkĩũrĩra Bethi-Shita ĩrorete Zerera o nginya mũhaka-inĩ wa Abeli-Mehola gũkuhĩ na Tabathu.
23 And the men of Israel are called from Naphtali, and from Asher, and from all Manasseh, and pursue after Midian.
Andũ a Isiraeli kuuma Nafitali, na Asheri na Manase guothe nĩmetirwo nao magĩtengʼeria Amidiani.
24 And messengers hath sent Gideon into all the hill-country of Ephraim, saying, 'Come down to meet Midian, and capture before them the waters unto Beth-Barah, and the Jordan;' and every man of Ephraim is called, and they capture the waters unto Beth-Barah, and the Jordan,
Nake Gideoni agĩtũmana bũrũri wothe ũrĩa wa irĩma wa Efiraimu, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ikũrũkai mũhũũrane na Amidiani na mwĩnyiitĩre maaĩ ma Jorodani mbere yao o nginya Bethi-Bara.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ othe a Efiraimu nĩmetirwo, na makĩĩnyiitĩra maaĩ ma Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani o nginya Bethi-Bara.
25 and they capture two of the heads of Midian, Oreb, and Zeeb, and slay Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and Zeeb they have slain at the wine-vat of Zeeb, and they pursue unto Midian; and the heads of Oreb and Zeeb they have brought in unto Gideon beyond the Jordan.
O na ningĩ nĩmanyiitire atongoria eerĩ a Midiani, nĩo Orebu na Zeebu. Nao makĩũragĩra Orebu ihiga-inĩ rĩa Orebu, nake Zeebu makĩmũũragĩra kĩhihĩro-inĩ kĩa ndibei kĩa Zeebu. Nao magĩthingatana na Amidiani, na magĩtwara mĩtwe ya Orebu na Zeebu kũrĩ Gideoni, ũrĩa warĩ mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ wa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani.
