Pea naʻe fakamasiva lahi ʻa ʻIsileli ko e meʻa ʻi he kakai Mitiane; pea naʻe tangi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kia Sihova.
7 Esi Israelviwo do ɣli na Yehowa le Midiantɔwo ta la,
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he tangi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kia Sihova ko e meʻa ʻi he kakai Mitiane,

Naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova ʻae palōfita ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻa ne pehē kiate kinautolu, ʻoku pehē mai ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, “Naʻaku ʻomi ʻakimoutolu mei ʻIsipite, pea ʻomi ʻakimoutolu kituʻa mei he fale ʻoe fakapōpula;

11 Gbe ɖeka la, Yehowa ƒe dɔla aɖe va nɔ anyi ɖe oɖumti la te le Ofra, le Yoas, Abiezritɔ la ƒe agble me. Yoaz ƒe vi, Gideon, ɣla eɖokui ɖe wainfiaƒe aɖe le vɔvɔ̃ na Midiantɔwo ta eye wònɔ lu klẽm kple asi.
Pea naʻe haʻu ai ʻae ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova, pea nofo ʻi he lolo oke ʻaia naʻe ʻi Ofila, pea naʻe ʻo Soasi ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻApiesa: pea naʻe haha uite ʻe hono foha ko Kitione ʻo ofi ki he tataʻoʻanga uaine, ke fufū ia mei he kakai Mitiane.
12 Yehowa ƒe dɔla la ɖe eɖokui fiae eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Yehowa li kpli wò, wò ŋutsu kalẽtɔ!”
Pea naʻe fakahāhā ʻae ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku ʻiate koe ʻa Sihova, ʻa koe ko e tangata mālohi mo toʻa.”
13 Gideon ɖo eŋu be, “Nye aƒetɔ, ne Yehowa la li kplim la, ekema nu ka ta nu siawo katã dzɔ ɖe mía dzi? Gawu la, afi ka eƒe nukunu siwo katã ŋu mía fofowo ƒo nu na mí tsoe esi wogblɔ be, ‘Ɖe Yehowa mekplɔ mí do goe tso Egipte oa?’ la le? Ke azɔ la Yehowa gblẽ mí ɖi.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Kitione kiate ia, “ʻE hoku ʻEiki, kapau ʻoku ʻiate kimautolu ʻa Sihova, ko e hā kuo tō ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kiate kimautolu? Pea kuo ʻi fē ʻae ngaahi meʻa mana ʻaia naʻe tala ʻe heʻemau ngaahi tamai kiate kimautolu, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻIkai naʻe ʻomi ʻakimautolu ʻe Sihova mei ʻIsipite?’ Ka ko eni kuo liʻaki ʻakimautolu ʻe Sihova, pea kuo tukuange ʻakimautolu ki he nima ʻoe kakai Mitiane.”
14 Yehowa trɔ ɖe eŋu gblɔ nɛ be, “Yi le wò ŋusẽ me eye nàɖe Israel tso Midiantɔwo ƒe asi me. Ɖe nyemele dɔwòm oa?”
Pea naʻe ʻafio ʻa Sihova kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻAlu ʻi he mālohi ni ʻoʻou, pea te ke fakamoʻui ʻe koe ʻa ʻIsileli mei he nima ʻoe kakai Mitiane: ʻikai kuo u fekauʻi koe?”
15 Ke Gideon ɖo eŋu be, “Aƒetɔ, aleke nye ame gblɔe sia mate ŋu aɖe Israel? Nye hlɔ̃e nye hlɔ̃ gblɔetɔ le Manase ƒe to blibo la me eye nyee nye ame gblɔetɔ kekeake le nye ƒome blibo la me!”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “ʻE hoku ʻEiki, ʻe fakamoʻui fēfeeʻi ʻeau ʻa ʻIsileli? Vakai, ʻoku masiva hoku fale ʻi Manase, pea ko e siʻi hifo taha pe au ʻi he fale ʻo ʻeku tamai.”
16 Yehowa ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Manɔ kpli wò eye nàtsrɔ̃ Midiantɔwo katã abe ame ɖekae wonye ene!”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate ia, Ko e moʻoni te u ʻiate koe, pea te ke taaʻi ʻae kakai Mitiane ʻo hangē ko e tangata pē taha.
17 Gideon ɖo eŋu be, “Ke azɔ la, ne mekpɔ amenuveve le wò ŋkume la, na dzesim ne manyae be wòe le nu ƒom nam vavã.
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “Ko eni kapau kuo u maʻu ʻae ʻofa ʻi ho ʻao, pea ke fakahā kiate au ha fakaʻilonga ʻoku ta alea mo koe.
18 Taflatse, mègadzo o va se ɖe esime maɖatsɔ nye nuɖuɖu ava ɖo wò ŋkume.” Eye Yehowa ɖo eŋu be, “Malala wò va se ɖe esime nàtrɔ agbɔ.”
ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ʻoua naʻa ke ʻalu ʻi heni, kaeʻoua ke u haʻu kiate koe mo ʻeku meʻaʻofa, pea u fokotuʻu ia ʻi ho ʻao.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Te u tatali pē ke ʻoua ke ke toe haʻu.”
19 Gideon ɖe abla yi aƒe me, wu gbɔ̃vi aɖe, mee eye wòtsɔ wɔ lita blaeve-vɔ-eve ƒo abolo maʋamaʋãe; etsɔ lã la ɖe kusi me eye wòtsɔ detsia ɖe ze me heyi na Mawudɔla la le oɖumti la te.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Kitione, ʻo ne teu ʻae ʻuhikiʻi kosi, mo e mā taʻefakalēvani ʻi he efa ʻe taha ʻoe mahoaʻa: naʻa ne faʻo ʻae kakano ʻi ha kato, pea ne ʻai ʻae vaihū ki ha kulo, ʻo ne ʻomi ia ki he lolo oke, ʻo ne ʻatu ia.
20 Mawudɔla la gblɔ nɛ be, “Tsɔ lã la kple abolo maʋamaʋã la da ɖe agakpe ma dzi eye nàtrɔ detsi la kɔ ɖe edzi.” Esi Gideon wɔ alea la,
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua kiate ia, “Toʻo ʻae kakano mo e ngaahi mā taʻefakalēvani, pea ʻai ia ki he maka ni, pea lilingi ʻae vaihū.” Pea naʻa ne fai ia.
21 Mawudɔla la tsɔ eƒe atikplɔ ƒe nugbɔ ka lã la kple abolo maʋamaʋã la ŋu. Kasia dzo bi tso agakpe la me eye wòfia lã la kple abolo la! Tete Yehowa ƒe dɔla la bu vĩi.
Pea naʻe toki mafao atu ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova ʻae muʻa tokotoko naʻe ʻi hono nima, ke lave ki he kakano mo e ngaahi mā taʻemeʻafakatupu; pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae afi mei he maka, pea naʻe ʻosiʻosi ai ʻae kakano mo e ngaahi mā taʻefakalēvani. Pea naʻe ʻalu ai ʻae ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova mei hono ʻao.
22 Esi Gideon dze sii be Yehowa ƒe dɔlae yekpɔ la, edo ɣli be, “Oo, Aƒetɔ Yehowa! Mekpɔ Yehowa ƒe dɔla ŋkume kple ŋkume!”
Pea ʻi he ʻilo ʻe Kitione ko e ʻāngelo ia ʻa Sihova, naʻe pehē ʻe Kitione, “ʻOiauē, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua! He kuo u mamata ki he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova ko e mata ki he mata.”
23 Ke Yehowa gblɔ nɛ be, “Ŋutifafa na wò! Mègavɔ̃ o. Mèle kuku ge o.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate ia, “Ke fiemālie pe koe; ʻoua naʻa ke manavahē: ʻe ʻikai te ke mate.”
24 Ale Gideon ɖi vɔsamlekpui aɖe na Yehowa ɖe afi ma eye wòna ŋkɔe be, “Yehowae nye Ŋutifafa” Vɔsamlekpui sia gale afi ma, le Ofra, le Abiezritɔwo ƒe anyigba dzi.
Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ʻi ai ʻe Kitione ʻae feilaulauʻanga kia Sihova, ʻo ne ui ia, ko Sihova-Salomi: ʻoku ʻi Ofila ia ʻoe kau ʻApiesa ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.
25 Le gbe ma gbe ƒe zã me la, Yehowa gblɔ na Gideon be, “Lé fofowò ƒe nyitsu gã ɖeka kple nyitsu bubu si xɔ ƒe adre. Gbã fofowò ƒe vɔsamlekpui si wòɖi na Baal eye nàho aƒeli si le exa la ƒu anyi
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he pō pe ko ia, naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate ia, “Toʻo ʻae pulu mui ʻa hoʻo tamai, ʻio, hono ua ʻoe pulu ʻoku fitu taʻu ʻene motuʻa, pea tulaki hifo ʻae feilaulauʻanga ʻo Peali ʻaia naʻe langa ʻe hoʻo tamai, pea tā hifo ʻae vao tapu ʻoku ofi ki ai:
26 Azɔ la ɖi vɔsamlekpui bubu na Yehowa, wò Mawu la ɖe togbɛ sia dzi. Tsɔ nyitsu evelia wɔ numevɔsae eye nàtsɔ aƒeli si nèho la wɔ nakee na vɔsa la.”
Pea ke langa ʻae feilaulauʻanga kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻi he funga ʻoe maka ni, ʻi he potu mālohi, pea ke ʻomi hono ua ʻoe pulu, pea ʻatu ia ko e feilaulau tutu ia, mo fefie ʻaki ʻae ʻakau ʻoe vao tapu ʻaia ke ke tā hifo.”
27 Gideon kplɔ eƒe subɔla ewo ɖe asi eye wòwɔ nu si Yehowa ɖo nɛ. Ewɔ nu siawo le zã me elabena enɔ fofoa ƒe aƒemetɔwo kple dua me tɔwo siaa vɔ̃m elabena enya nu si woawɔ ne wonya ame si wɔ nu siawo.
Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe Kitione ʻae kau tangata ko ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ʻe toko hongofulu, ʻo ne fai ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kiate ia: pea ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene manavahē ki he kakai ʻoe fale ʻo ʻene tamai, mo e kau tangata ʻoe kolo, naʻe ʻikai te ne mafai ia ʻi he ʻaho, pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ia ʻi he poʻuli.
28 Le ŋdi esime dua me ŋutsuwo fɔ la, wokpɔ be wogbã Baal ƒe vɔsamlekpui, heho aƒeli si le exa la ƒu anyi eye wokpɔ be wotsɔ nyitsu bubu sa vɔe le vɔsamlekpui yeye la dzi!
Pea ʻi he tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻi he pongipongi ʻae kau tangata ʻoe kolo, vakai, ko e feilaulauʻanga ʻo Peali kuo tulaki ki lalo, pea kuo tā hifo mo e vao tapu naʻe ofi ki ai, pea ko hono ua ʻoe pulu kuo ʻosi hono ʻatu ʻo feilaulau ʻaki ki he feilaulauʻanga ʻaia naʻe langa.
29 Amewo de asi biabia me be, “Ame kae wɔ nu sia?” Esi woku nya la gɔme nyuie la, wogblɔ na wo be, “Yoas ƒe viŋutsu, Gideon ye wɔe.”
Pea naʻa nau fepehēʻaki ʻiate kimautolu, “Ko hai kuo ne fai ʻae meʻa ni?” Pea ʻi heʻenau ʻeke mo fehuʻi, naʻa nau pehē, Kuo fai ʻae meʻa ni ʻe Kitione ko e foha ʻo Soasi.
30 Dua me ŋutsuwo bia tso Yoas si be, “Kplɔ viwò ŋutsu la do goe; edze na ku elabena egbã Baal ƒe vɔsamlekpui eye wòho aƒeli si le exa la ƒu anyi.”
Pea pehē ai ʻe he kau tangata ʻoe kolo kia Soasi, “ʻOmi ho foha kituʻa ke tāmate ia: ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene tulaki hifo ʻae feilaulauʻanga ʻo Peali, pea ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene tā hifo ʻae vao tapu naʻe ofi ki ai.”
31 Yoas ɖo eŋu na ameha si ƒo xlãe le adã fiam la be, “Miawoe awɔ aʋa ɖe Baal nua? Ɖe miele agbagba dzem be miaxɔ nɛa? Woawu ame si awɔ avu ɖe enu le ŋdi! Ne Baal nye mawu tututu la, aʋli eɖokui ta ne ame aɖe gbã eƒe vɔsamlekpui.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Soasi kiate kinautolu naʻe angatuʻu kiate ia, “Te mou langomakiʻi ʻa Peali? He te ne fakamoʻui ʻakimoutolu? Ko ia ʻoku langomakiʻi ʻa Peali ke tāmateʻi ia ʻi he kei pongipongi: kapau ko e ʻotua ia, ke langomakiʻi ia ʻe ia pe, koeʻuhi kuo tulaki hifo ʻe ha tokotaha ʻa hono feilaulauʻanga.”
32 Tso gbe ma gbe dzi la, wona ŋkɔ Gideon be, “Yerubaal” si gɔmee nye “Baal newɔ avu kplii.” Elabena egbã Baal ƒe vɔsamlekpui.
Ko ia naʻa ne ui ia ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ko Selupeali, ʻo pehē, “Tuku ke langomakiʻi ia ʻe Peali, he kuo ne tulaki hifo hono feilaulauʻanga.”
33 Azɔ la, Midiantɔwo katã, Amalekitɔwo kple ɣedzeƒe dukɔ bubuwo wɔ ɖeka eye wotso Yɔdan tɔsisi la va ƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe Yezreel balime.

Ka naʻe hoko kia Kitione ʻae Laumālie ʻo Sihova, pea ne ifi ʻe ia ʻae meʻalea: pea naʻe fakataha ʻo muimui ʻiate ia ʻae kakai ʻApiesa.
35 Edɔ dɔlawo wotsa le Manase, yɔ ameawo be woabla akpa eye wòɖe Aser, Zebulon kple Naftali hã be woawo hã nayi aɖado go wo.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe ia ki Manase kotoa pē, pea naʻa nau tānaki ʻo muimui ʻiate ia foki: pea naʻe fekau ʻe ia ki ʻAseli, pea ki Sepuloni, mo Nafitalai; pea naʻa nau haʻu ke fakafetaulaki kiate kinautolu.
36 Gideon gblɔ na Mawu be, “Ne àto nye asi dzi aɖe Israel abe ale si nèdo ŋugbe ene la
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Kitione ki he ʻOtua, Kapau te ke fakamoʻui ʻa ʻIsileli ʻaki hoku nima ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola,

Vakai, te u ʻai ʻae fulufuluʻi sipi kotoa ki he kelekele: pea kapau ʻoku ʻi he fulufuluʻi sipi pe ʻae hahau, pea mōmoa ʻae kelekele kotoa pē, te u ʻilo ai te ke fakamoʻui ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi hoku nima, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola.
38 Eva eme nenema tututu! Esi Gideon fɔ ŋdi la, etsɔ alẽgbalẽ la, fiae eye zãmu si dza ɖe edzi la yɔ gagbɛ ɖeka.
Pea naʻe pehē: he naʻe tuʻu pongipongi hake ia ʻi he pongipongi, ʻo tatau ʻae hahau mei he fulufuluʻi sipi, pea naʻe fonu ha ipu ʻi he vai.
39 Gideon gagblɔ na Mawu be, “Mègado dɔmedzoe ɖe ŋunye o, ke boŋ ɖe mɔ nam magabia nu bubu ɖeka ko. Ɖe mɔ nam be magatsɔ alẽgbalẽ la awɔ dodokpɔ ɖekae. Fifia la, na alẽgbalẽ la nanɔ ƒuƒuie eye zãmu nadza ɖe anyigba dzi aƒo xlãe.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Kitione ki he ʻOtua, ʻoua naʻa tupu ʻo lahi hoʻo houhau kiate au, pea te u lea ke tuʻo taha ni: ʻoku ou kole kiate koe tuku au ke u ʻahiʻahiʻi koe ke tuʻo taha ni ʻaki ʻae fulufuluʻi sipi: tuku ke mōmoa pe ʻae fulufuluʻi sipi, kae ʻi he kelekele kotoa pē ʻae hahau.

Pea naʻe fai ia ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi he pō ko ia: he naʻe mōmoa ʻae fulufuluʻi sipi pe, ka naʻe hahauʻia ʻae kelekele kotoa pē.
