Atiirĩrĩri 8
1 Na rĩrĩ, andũ a Efiraimu makĩũria Gideoni atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte ũtwĩke ũguo? Wagire gũtwĩta ũgĩthiĩ kũhũũrana na Amidiani nĩkĩ?” Nao makĩmũtetia mũno.
Afei, Efraimfoɔ no bisaa Gideon sɛ, “Adɛn enti na woyɛ yɛn saa? Adɛn enti na worekɔko atia Midian kane no, woamfrɛ yɛn?” Na wɔne Gideon kasaa anibereɛ so.
2 Nowe akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩatĩa niĩ njĩkĩte ngerekanĩtio na inyuĩ? Githĩ kũhaara thabibũ cia Efiraimu ti kwega gũkĩra magetha mothe ma thabibũ cia Abiezeri?
Na Gideon buaa wɔn sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na mayɛ a mede bɛtoto mo ho? Na Efraim bobe aba a ɛka wɔ twaberɛ akyi no nyɛ nsene Abieser bobe a wɔnteeɛ nyinaa?
3 Ngai nĩaneanire Orebu na Zeebu, atongoria a Amidiani moko-inĩ manyu. Nĩatĩa niĩ hotete gwĩka ngerekanĩtio na inyuĩ?” Maigua ũguo, marakara marĩa maamũrakarĩire namo magĩthira.
Onyankopɔn ma modii Oreb ne Seeb a na wɔyɛ Midian asahene no so. Ɛdeɛn na matumi ayɛ a ɛsɛ yei?” Efraim mmarima no tee Gideon mmuaeɛ no, wɔn bo tɔɔ wɔn yam.
4 Gideoni na andũ ake magana matatũ, o na marĩ anogu, magĩtengʼeria thũ ciao magĩkinya Jorodani na makĩringa rũũĩ rũu.
Gideon ne ne mmarima ahasa no twaa Asubɔnten Yordan, ɛwom sɛ na wɔabrɛ deɛ, nanso wɔtoaa so taa atamfoɔ no.
5 Nake akĩĩra andũ a Sukothu atĩrĩ, “Heei ita rĩakwa kĩndũ gĩa kũrĩa; nĩ ũndũ nĩ anogu biũ, na no ndengʼeretie Zeba na Zalimuna, athamaki a Midiani.”
Wɔduruu Sukot no, Gideon ka kyerɛɛ ntuanofoɔ a wɔwɔ hɔ no sɛ, “Momma mʼakofoɔ no aduane nni na wɔabrɛ. Meretaa Midian ahemfo Seba ne Salmuna.”
6 No anene a Sukothu makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Rĩu-rĩ, ũkĩrĩ ũranyiita Zeba na Zalimuna magakorwo marĩ moko-inĩ maku? Tũkũhe thigari ciaku irio nĩkĩ?”
Na Sukot ntuanofoɔ no buaa sɛ, “Kyere Seba ne Salmuna ansa na yɛama wʼakofoɔ no aduane adi.”
7 Nake Gideoni akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo mwoiga, rĩrĩa Jehova arĩneana Zeba na Zalimuna moko-inĩ makwa, ndĩĩtembũranga mĩĩrĩ yanyu na mĩigua ya werũ-inĩ na mahiũ ma nyeki-inĩ.”
Gideon buaa sɛ, “Sɛ Awurade ma medi Seba ne Salmuna so nkonim a, mɛsane aba de ɛserɛ so nkasɛɛ ne akraateɛ abɛsunsuane mo honam ani.”
8 Oima kũu akĩambata nginya Penieli, akĩmooria o ta ũguo oorĩtie andũ a Sukothu, nao magĩcookia o ta ũrĩa andũ a Sukothu maamũcookeirie.
Na Gideon firii hɔ kɔɔ Penuel kɔsrɛɛ aduane bio, na ɔnyaa mmuaeɛ korɔ no ara.
9 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩĩra andũ a Penieli atĩrĩ, “Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ngaahũndũka hootanĩte-rĩ, niĩ nĩngamomora mũthiringo ũyũ mũraihu na igũrũ.”
Na ɔka kyerɛɛ Penuelfoɔ no sɛ, “Sɛ mefiri nkonimdie mu ba a, mɛbubu saa abantenten yi.”
10 Nao Zeba na Zalimuna maarĩ kũu Karikori marĩ na ita rĩa andũ ta 15,000, acio oiki no-o maatigaire kuuma kũrĩ mbũtũ ya andũ a irathĩro; andũ 100,000 rĩa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ arĩa maarũaga na hiũ cia njora nĩ moragĩtwo.
Saa ɛberɛ yi na Seba ne Salmuna ne akofoɔ mpem dunum wɔ Karkor, aboafoɔ a wɔfiri apueeɛ fam a na emu ɔpeha aduonu atotɔ dada no nkaeɛfoɔ.
11 Gideoni akĩambata na njĩra ya andũ arĩa maikaraga hema-inĩ mwena wa irathĩro rĩa Noba na Jogibeha, akiumĩrĩra mbũtũ ĩyo hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ĩtegeragĩria kũrĩ na ũgwati.
Gideon faa atutenafoɔ ɛkwan a ɛda Noba ne Yogbeha apueeɛ fam no ho hyiaeɛ, na wɔto hyɛɛ Midian akodɔm a na wɔn ani nna wɔn ho soɔ no so.
12 Zeba na Zalimuna, athamaki acio eerĩ a Midiani, makĩũra, nowe akĩmatengʼeria, akĩmanyiita, na akĩhoota mbũtũ ĩyo yao yothe.
Midian ahemfo baanu a wɔn din de Seba ne Salmuna no dwaneeɛ, nanso Gideon taa wɔn faa wɔn akofoɔ nyinaa nnommum.
13 Gideoni mũrũ wa Joashu akĩhũndũka oimĩte mbaara-inĩ, agereire Ihĩtũkĩro rĩa Heresi.
Yei akyi no, Yoas ba Gideon faa Heres kwantempɔn so saneeɛ.
14 Nake akĩnyiita mwanake wa Sukothu, na akĩmũhooya ũhoro, nake mwanake ũcio akĩmwandĩkĩra marĩĩtwa ma anene mĩrongo mũgwanja na mũgwanja a Sukothu, na nĩo athuuri a itũũra rĩu.
Ɛhɔ na ɔkyeree aberanteɛ bi a ɔfiri Sukot. Ɔhyɛɛ no sɛ ɔntwerɛ nnipa aduɔson nson a wɔyɛ sodifoɔ ne ntuanofoɔ a wɔwɔ kuro no mu no din mma no.
15 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Gideoni agĩũka, akĩĩra andũ a Sukothu atĩrĩ, “Aya nĩo Zeba na Zalimuna, arĩa mwanyũrũrĩirie ũhoro wao, mũkiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Anga nĩũkĩnyiitĩte Zeba na Zalimuna magakorwo marĩ moko-inĩ maku? Tũkũhe andũ aya aku anogu irio nĩkĩ?’”
Afei, Gideon sane kɔɔ Sukot kɔka kyerɛɛ ɛhɔ ntuanofoɔ no sɛ, “Seba ne Salmuna nie. Yɛbaa ha no modii me ho fɛ, kaa sɛ, ‘Kyere Seba ne Salmuna ansa na yɛama wʼakofoɔ a wɔabrɛ no aduane adi.’”
16 Agĩkĩnyiita athuuri acio a itũũra, nake akĩherithia andũ acio a Sukothu na mĩigua ya werũ-inĩ, na mahiũ ma nyeki-inĩ.
Afei Gideon faa kuro no mu ntuanofoɔ kyerɛɛ wɔn nyansa. Ɔde ɛserɛ so nkasɛɛ ne akraateɛ twee wɔn aso.
17 Ningĩ akĩmomora mũthiringo ũcio mũraihu na igũrũ wa Penieli, na akĩũraga andũ a itũũra rĩu.
Ɔsane dwirii Penuel abantenten no guu fam, kunkumm kuro no mu mmarima nyinaa.
18 Hĩndĩ ĩyo akĩũria Zeba na Zalimuna atĩrĩ, “Andũ arĩa mworagĩire kũu Tabori-rĩ, maahaanaga atĩa?” Nao magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nĩ andũ tawe, o ũmwe wao aahaanaga ta mũrũ wa mũthamaki.”
Afei, ɔbisaa Seba ne Salmuna sɛ, “Mmarima a mokumm wɔn wɔ Tabor no, na wɔte sɛn?” Wɔbuaa sɛ, “Mmarima no te sɛ wo. Na wɔn mu biara te sɛ ɔheneba.”
19 Gideoni akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Acio maarĩ ariũ a baba, o na ariũ a maitũ. O ta ũrĩa Jehova atũũraga muoyo-rĩ, korwo nĩmwahonokirie mĩoyo yao-rĩ, ndingĩamũũraga.”
Gideon ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Na wɔyɛ me nuanom. Sɛ Awurade te ase yi, sɛ moankum wɔn a, anka me nso merenkum mo.”
20 Akĩgarũrũkĩra Jetheri, mũriũ wake wa irigithathi, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Moorage!” Nowe Jetheri ndaigana gũcomora rũhiũ rwa njora, tondũ aarĩ o kamwana kanini, na nĩetigagĩra.
Ɔdanee nʼani kyerɛɛ ne babarima panin Yeter sɛ, “Ku wɔn.” Nanso Yeter antwe nʼakofena, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɔyɛ abarimaa enti na ɔsuro.
21 Zeba na Zalimuna makĩĩra Gideoni atĩrĩ, “Ũkĩra, ũtũũrage arĩ we. Tondũ o ta ũrĩa mũndũ atariĩ noguo hinya wake ũigana.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Gideoni agĩũkĩra, akĩmooraga, na akĩruta irengeeri iria ciagemetie ngingo cia ngamĩĩra ciao, agĩthiĩ nacio.
Seba ne Salmuna ka kyerɛɛ Gideon sɛ, “Mma abarimaa nyɛ ɔpanin adwuma! Wo ankasa yɛ!” Enti, Gideon kumm wɔn baanu, faa adehyeɛ agudeɛ a ɛsensɛn wɔn yoma kɔn mu no.
22 Andũ a Isiraeli makĩĩra Gideoni atĩrĩ, “Tũthamakĩre, wee, na mũrũguo, na mũrũ wa mũrũguo o nake, nĩgũkorwo wee nĩũtũhonoketie, ũgatũruta moko-inĩ ma Midiani.”
Na Israelfoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ Gideon sɛ, “Di yɛn so ɔhene. Wo ne wo babarima ne wo nana bɛyɛ yɛn ahemfo, ɛfiri sɛ, woagye yɛn afiri Midianfoɔ nsam.”
23 Nowe Gideoni akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndikũmũthamakĩra, o na kana mũrũ wakwa. Jehova nĩwe ũkũmũthamakĩra.”
Nanso, Gideon buaa sɛ, “Merenni mo so ɔhene na me babarima nso renni mo so ɔhene. Awurade na ɔbɛdi mo so.”
24 Ningĩ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Harĩ ũndũ ũngĩ ũmwe ngũmũhooya, naguo nĩ atĩ o ũmwe wanyu aahe gĩcũhĩ kĩmwe gĩa gũtũ kĩa iria aatahire.” (Ũcio warĩ mũtugo wa Aishumaeli, gwĩkĩra icũhĩ cia thahabu matũ.)
Mmom Gideon ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, mewɔ adebisa baako. “Mo mu biara mma me asomuadeɛ baako a mofa firii asadeɛ a monya firii mo atamfoɔ a modii wɔn so no nkyɛn.” (Atamfoɔ a na wɔyɛ Ismaelfoɔ no na obiara hyɛ sikakɔkɔɔ asomuadeɛ).
25 Nao magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũgũciheana tũkenete.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩara nguo thĩ, na o mũndũ agĩikia gĩcũhĩ ho kuuma kũrĩ indo iria aatahĩte.
Wɔbuaa sɛ, “Yɛpene so dodo.” Wɔde akatasoɔ sɛɛ fam. Na obiara de ne sikakɔkɔɔ asomuadeɛ a ɔnyaeɛ bɛguu so.
26 Naguo ũritũ wa icũhĩ icio cia thahabu aahooete wakinyire cekeri 1,700, mathaga marĩa mangĩ matatarĩtwo, na nĩmo mĩgathĩ, na nguo cia rangi wa ndathi iria ciehumbagwo nĩ athamaki a Amidiani, kana mĩnyororo ĩrĩa yarĩ ngingo cia ngamĩĩra ciao.
Na sikakɔkɔɔ asomuadeɛ dodoɔ a wɔnyaeɛ no karii kilogram aduonu a asrane nketewa ne kɔnmuadeɛ, Midian ahemfo adehyeɛ ahyehyɛdeɛ ne nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn a ɛgu wɔn yoma kɔn mu nka ho.
27 Gideoni agĩthondeka thahabu ĩyo ĩgĩtuĩka ebodi, ĩrĩa aigire kũu Ofira, itũũra rĩake. Isiraeli othe makĩhũũra ũmaraya na ũndũ wa kũmĩhooya marĩ kũu, nayo ĩgĩtuĩka mũtego harĩ Gideoni na nyũmba yake.
Gideon de yɛɛ asɔfotadeɛ kronkron na ɔde sii kuro Ofra, ne kurom, mu. Nanso, ankyɛre na Israelfoɔ no kɔsom no de guu wɔn ho fi na ɛdanee afidie maa Gideon ne ne fiefoɔ.
28 Ũguo nĩguo andũ a Midiani maahootirwo nĩ andũ a Isiraeli, na matiacookire kwambararia mĩtwe rĩngĩ. Matukũ-inĩ marĩa Gideoni aatũũrire muoyo, bũrũri ũcio ũkĩgĩa na thayũ mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna.
Yei ne abasɛm a ɛkyerɛ sɛdeɛ Israelfoɔ dii Midianfoɔ so nkonim a wantumi ansɔre bio. Gideon nna a ɛtwa toɔ bɛyɛ mfeɛ aduanan mu no, na asomdwoeɛ wɔ asase no so.
29 Jerubu-Baali mũrũ wa Joashu nĩacookire gwake mũciĩ gũtũũra kuo.
Afei, Yoas babarima Yerub-Baal sane kɔɔ ne kurom.
30 Na aarĩ na ariũ mĩrongo mũgwanja ake mwene, nĩ ũndũ nĩ aarĩ na atumia aingĩ.
Na ɔwɔ yerenom bebree enti ɔwoo mmammarima aduɔson.
31 Nayo thuriya yake ĩrĩa yaikaraga Shekemu, nĩyamũciarĩire mwana wa kahĩĩ, ũrĩa aatuire Abimeleku.
Na ɔwɔ mpena nso wɔ Sekem a ɔne no woo ɔbabarima, too ne din Abimelek.
32 Gideoni mũrũ wa Joashu aakuire arĩ mũkũrũ mũno, na agĩthikwo mbĩrĩra-inĩ ya ithe Joashu kũu Ofira ya Aabiezeri.
Gideon wuiɛ no na wanyini yie. Na wɔsiee no wɔ nʼagya Yoas damena mu wɔ Ofra wɔ Abieserfoɔ abusuasase so.
33 Gideoni akua-rĩ, andũ a Isiraeli o rĩngĩ nĩmahũũrire ũmaraya na Mabaali. Makĩrũgamia Baali-Berithu ĩtuĩke ngai yao,
Gideon wuiɛ ara pɛ, Israelfoɔ no kɔsom Baal ahoni, de bɔɔ wɔn ho ahohwi. Wɔnam so yɛɛ Baal-Berit wɔn nyame.
34 na matiacookire kũririkana Jehova Ngai wao, ũrĩa wamahonoketie akamaruta moko-inĩ ma thũ ciao ciothe iria ciarĩ mĩena-inĩ yao yothe.
Wɔn werɛ firii Awurade, wɔn Onyankopɔn a ɔgyee wɔn firii wɔn atamfoɔ a wɔatwa wɔn ho ahyia no nsam no.
35 O na ningĩ nĩmagire gũcookia ngaatho kũrĩ nyũmba ya Jerubu-Baali (nĩwe Gideoni) nĩ ũndũ wa maũndũ marĩa mothe mega aamekĩire.
Na mpo, wɔanni nokorɛ ankyerɛ Yerub-Baal (a ɔne Gideon) fiefoɔ wɔ nneɛma pa a ɔyɛ maa Israelfoɔ no ho.
