Ʋɔnudrɔ̃lawo 7
1 Gideon, ame si wogayɔna be Yerubaal kple eƒe aʋakɔ fɔ ŋdi kanya heyi keke Harɔd vudo la gbɔ. Midiantɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ ƒo ƒu ɖe Gideon ƒe aʋakɔ ƒe anyiehe lɔƒo le balime si le More to la gbɔ xa.
Yeru-Baala (Gideoni) ndi anthu ake onse anadzuka mʼmamawa nakamanga misasa pambali pa kasupe ku Harodi. Misasa ya Amidiyani inali mʼchigwa kumpoto kwa phiri la More.
2 Yehowa gblɔ na Gideon be, “Wò aʋakɔ la sɔ gbɔ akpa! Nyemaɖe mɔ mi katã miawɔ aʋa kple Midiantɔwo o, elabena Israelviwo ava ƒo adegbe nam be, ‘Míawoe ɖe mía ɖokuiwo to míawo ŋutɔ ƒe ŋusẽ me’
Yehova anati kwa Gideoni, “Anthu uli nawowa andichulukira kwambiri kuti ndigonjetse Amidiyani chifukwa Aisraeli angamadzitukumule pamaso panga ndi kumanena kuti, ‘Tadzipulumutsa ndi mphamvu zathu.’
3 Ɖo wò ame siwo nye vɔvɔ̃nɔtɔwo kple ame siwo dzidzi ƒo la ɖe aƒe.” Ale ame akpe blaeve-vɔ-eve trɔ dzo eye ame akpe ewo siwo nɔ klalo na aʋawɔwɔ koe susɔ.
Tsono lengeza kwa anthu kuti, ‘Aliyense amene akuchita mantha ndi kunjenjemera abwerere kwawo, ndipo achoke kuno ku phiri la Giliyadi.’” Choncho anthu 22,000 anachoka, ndipo anatsalira anthu 10,000.
4 Yehowa gagblɔ na Gideon be, “Ameawo sɔ gbɔ akpa. Kplɔ wo yi tɔ la to, ekema mafia ame siwo ayi kpli wò kple esiwo mayi o la wò. Ne megblɔ be, ‘Ame sia nayi kpli wò la’ ekema ayi, ke ne megblɔ be, ‘Ame sia mayi kpli wò o la’ ekema mayi o.”
Koma Yehova anawuza Gideoni kuti, “Anthuwa achulukabe. Uwatenge upite nawo ku mtsinje ndipo ndikawayesa kumeneko mʼmalo mwako. Ndikadzanena kuti, ‘Uyu apite nawe’ adzapita nawe; koma ndikanena kuti ‘Uyu asapite nawe,’ sadzapita nawe.”
5 Gideon kplɔ wo yi tɔ la gbɔ eye Yehowa gblɔ na Gideon be, “Ame siwo akpe nu ɖe tsi me eye woano tsi abe avu ene la, nanɔ hatsotso ɖeka me eye ame siwo adze klo eye woaku tsia kple asi ano la hã nanɔ hatsotso bubu me.”
Choncho Gideoni anatenga anthuwo ndi kupita nawo ku madzi. Kumeneko Yehova anamuwuza kuti, “Amene amwe madzi mokhathira ndi manja ngati galu uwayike pawokha, ndipo amene amwe atagwada pansi uwayikenso pawokha.”
6 Ewɔ nenema eye ame siwo ku tsia kple asi heno la nɔ ame alafa etɔ̃, ame bubuawo katã nye ame siwo dze klo heno tsia abe avu ene.
Ndipo anthu 300 anamwa mokhathira, pamene ena onse anagwada pansi pakumwa.
7 Yehowa gblɔ na Gideon be, “Maɖu Midiantɔwo dzi kple ame alafa etɔ̃ siawo! Na ame mamlɛawo natrɔ ayi aƒe!”
Yehova anati kwa Gideoni, “Ndi anthu 300 amene anamwa madzi mokhathira ndi manja awo ndidzakupulumutsani ndipo ndidzapereka Amidiyani mʼmanja mwanu. Koma anthu ena onse apite ku nyumba kwawo.”
8 Gideon xɔ anyikpluawo kple kpẽawo le Israelviwo si, ɖo wo ɖe aƒe eye ame alafa etɔ̃awo koe tsi anyi. Midiantɔwo ƒo ƒu ɖe balime si le Gideon te.
Choncho analola anthu ena onse kuti apite ku nyumba zawo kupatula anthu 300 osankhika aja. Iwowa anatenga zakudya ndi malipenga a anthuwo. Ndipo misasa ya ankhondo Amidiyani inali kumunsi kwa chigwa.
9 Aƒetɔ la gblɔ na Gideon le zã me be, “Fɔ kaba! Kplɔ wò aʋawɔlawo, eye miadze Midiantɔwo dzi elabena mana miaɖu wo dzi!
Usiku umenewo Yehova anati kwa Gideoni, “Dzuka, pita kachite nkhondo ku misasayo, chifukwa ndayipereka mʼmanja mwako.
10 Ke ne èle vɔvɔ̃m la, ekema wò ɖeka yi futɔwo ƒe asaɖa la me, kplɔ wò subɔla Pura ɖe asi,
Ngati ukuopa, upite ku msasako ndi Pura wantchito wako,
11 eye nàɖo to nya siwo gblɔm futɔwo le, ekema dzi aɖo ƒowò, eye nàtso enumake ɖe aʋa la wɔwɔ ŋu!” Ale Gideon kplɔ Pura ɖe asi eye wowɔ ɖɔɖɔɖɔ yi futɔwo ƒe nɔƒe.
ndipo ukamvere zimene akunena ndipo pambuyo pake udzalimba mtima ndi kupita kukayithira nkhondo misasayo.” Choncho iye ndi wantchito wake Pura anapita kumbali ina ya msasawo kumene kunali ankhondo.
12 Midiantɔwo kple Amalekitɔwo kple dukɔ bubuwo tso ɣedzeƒe ƒo ƒu ɖe balime la abe ʋetsuviwo alo ƒutake ene eye woƒe kposɔwo sɔ gbɔ wu xexlẽ.
Amidiyani, Aamaleki ndi anthu ena onse akummawa anadzaza chigwa chonse ngati dzombe. Ngamira zawo zinali zambiri zosawerengeka ngati mchenga wa mʼmbali mwa nyanja.
13 Gideon te ɖe agbadɔ aɖe ŋu esime futɔwo dometɔ ɖeka ku drɔ̃e, ɖi vo, nyɔ tso alɔ̃ me teti henɔ drɔ̃e la lĩm na nɔvia. Egblɔ be, “Meku drɔ̃e dziŋɔ aɖe, abolo gã aɖe mli ge ɖe míaƒe asaɖa la me eye wòlɔ míaƒe agbadɔ la ƒu anyi gbloo!”
Gideoni atafika anangomva munthu wina akuwuza mnzake maloto ake kuti, “Ine ndinalota nditaona dengu la buledi wa barele likugubuduzika kupita ku misasa ya Amidiyani. Litafika linawomba tenti moti inagwa ndi kuphwasukaphwasuka.”
14 Ame evelia gblɔ be, “Gɔmeɖeɖe ɖeka koe le wò drɔ̃e la si. Gideon, Yoas ƒe vi, Israel ŋutsu la ava tsrɔ̃ Midiantɔwo kple dukɔ bubu siwo kpe ɖe wo ŋu la ƒe aʋakɔwo katã.”
Ndipo mnzakeyo anamuyankha kuti, “Iyi ndi nkhondo ya Gideoni mwana wa Yowasi, wa ku Israeli. Mulungu wapereka Amidiyani pamodzi ndi ankhondo ake onse mʼdzanja mwake.”
15 Gideon se drɔ̃e la kple eƒe gɔmeɖeɖe. Nu si ko wòte ŋu wɔ lae nye etsi tsitre ɖe afi ma eye wòkafu Mawu! Azɔ etrɔ enumake yi Israelviwo ƒe asaɖa me eye wòdo ɣli be, “Mifɔ kaba elabena Yehowa ana míaɖu Midiantɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ gã siawo dzi!”
Gideoni atamva za malotowo ndi kumasulira kwake, anapembedza Mulungu. Kenaka anabwerera ku msasa wa Israeli nawawuza kuti, “Dzukani popeza Yehova wapereka msasa wa Midiyani mʼmanja mwanu.”
16 Gideon ma ame alafa etɔ̃ la ɖe akpa etɔ̃ me, tsɔ kpẽ kple anyikplu si me akakati le la na ame sia ame.
Anawagawa anthu 300 aja magulu atatu, nawapatsa malipenga mʼmanja mwawo ndi mbiya zimene mʼkati mwake munali nsakali zoyaka.
17 Ke eɖe eƒe ɖoɖowo me na wo hegblɔ be, “Ne míeva ɖo futɔwo ƒe asaɖaŋudzɔlawo gbɔ la, miwɔ nu si tututu mawɔ.
Anawuza anthuwo kuti, “Muzikayangʼana ine ndi kuchita zimene ndizikachita. Ndikakafika kumalire a msasa, mukachite zomwe ndikachita ine.
18 Ne nye kple nye amewo míeku míaƒe kpẽwo ko la, miawo hã miku mia tɔwo le asaɖa la ƒe akpa ɖe sia ɖe eye miado ɣli sesĩe be, ‘Míele aʋa wɔm na Mawu kple Gideon!’”
Ndikadzaliza lipenga ndi onse amene ali ndi ine, inunso mukalize malipenga kumbali zonse za misasa yonse ndi kufuwula kuti, ‘Lupanga la Yehova ndi la Gideoni.’”
19 Ale Gideon kple ame alafa ɖeka siwo nɔ eŋu la ɖo Midiantɔwo ƒe asaɖa la ƒe gbɔto le zãtitina esime woɖɔli dzɔlawo teti. Woku woƒe kpẽwo eye wogbã anyikplu siwo le wo si.
Choncho Gideoni pamodzi ndi amuna 100 omwe anali nawo anafika ku malire a msasa pakati pa usiku, alonda atangosinthana kumene. Iwo analiza malipenga awo ndi kuphwanya mbiya zimene zinali mʼmanja mwawo.
20 Aʋalɔgo etɔ̃awo me nɔlawo hã ku kpẽawo, gbã woƒe anyikpluwo, lé akakatiawo ɖe mia eye wolé kpẽawo ɖe ɖusi hena kuku. Wodo ɣli sesĩe be, “Esia nye yi na Yehowa kple Gideon!”
Magulu awiri ena aja anayimbanso malipenga ndi kuswa mbiya zawo. Aliyense ananyamula nsakali ya moto ku dzanja lamanzere ndi lipenga ku dzanja lamanja ndipo anafuwula kuti, “Lupanga la Yehova ndi la Gideoni.”
21 Esi Gideon ƒe ameawo ɖe to ɖe asaɖa la la, Midiantɔwo katã lé du tsɔ eye wonɔ ɣli dom esime wonɔ dua dzi.
Aliyense anayima pa malo pake kuzungulira misasa. Ankhondo a mʼmisasa muja anadzuka nayamba kuthawa akufuwula.
22 Esi ame alafa etɔ̃awo ku kpẽawo la, Yehowa de zi asaɖa la me be wotsɔ yi ɖe wo nɔewo ŋu. Woƒe asrafowo si yi ɖe Bet Sita ɖo ta Zerera gbɔ va se ɖe keke Abel Mehola si te ɖe Tabat ƒe liƒo dzi ke.
Anthu 300 aja ataliza malipenga, Yehova anawasokoneza ankhondo a Midiyani aja motero kuti ankamenyana okhaokha. Ankhondowo anathawira ku Beti-Sita cha ku Zerera mpaka ku malire a Abeli-Mehola pafupi ndi Tabati.
23 Woyɔ Israelvi siwo tso Naftali, Aser kple Manase la, wodo go eye woti Midiantɔwo yome.
Aisraeli a fuko la Nafutali, fuko la Aseri, ndi fuko lonse la Manase anayitanidwa, ndipo iwo anathamangitsa Amidiyaniwo.
24 Gideon dɔ dɔlawo wotsa le Efraim tonyigba la katã dzi nɔ gbɔgblɔm be, “Miɖi va dze Midiantɔwo dzi eye miaxe mɔ na woƒe Yɔdan tɔsisi la tsotso va se ɖe keke Bet Bera ke.” Ale woyɔ Efraim ŋutsuwo katã do goe eye woxe Yɔdan ƒe tɔtsoƒewo katã va se ɖe Bet Bera ke.
Gideoni anatumiza amithenga ku dziko lonse la ku mapiri la Efereimu kukanena kuti, “Tsikani mumenyane ndi Amidiyani ndipo mulande madooko awo owolokera mpaka ku Beti-Bara.” Choncho anthu onse a fuko la Efereimu anasonkhana ndipo analanda madooko awo owolokera mpaka ku Betibaala.
25 Israelviwo lé Midiantɔwo ƒe aʋafia eveawo, Oreb kple Zeb. Wowu Oreb le agakpe si wotsɔ eƒe ŋkɔ na eye woyɔnɛ fifia be Oreb la gbɔ eye wowu Zeb le wainfiaƒe si woyɔna fifia be Zeb. Woti Midiantɔwo yome eye wotsɔ Oreb kple Zib ƒe tawo vɛ na Gideon le Yɔdan tɔsisi la godo.
Iwo anagwiranso atsogoleri awiri a nkhondo a Amidiyani, Orebu ndi Zeebu. Anapha Orebu ku thanthwe la Orebu, koma Zeebu anamuphera ku malo ofinyira mphesa ku Zeebu pothamangitsa Amidiyani. Mitu ya Orebu ndi Zeebu anabwera nayo kwa Gideoni kutsidya kwa Yorodani.
