Mahukunta 6

1 Isra’ilawa suka sāke yin mugayen ayyuka a gaban Ubangiji, sai ya ba da su ga Midiyawa shekara bakwai.

Pea naʻe fai kovi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: pea naʻe tukuange ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ki he nima ʻo Mitiane:

2 Da Midiyawa suka matsa musu sosai, sai Isra’ilawa suka yi wa kansu mafakai a rammukan duwatsu, kogona da kuma mafaka.

Pea naʻe mālohi ʻae nima ʻo Mitiane ki ʻIsileli: pea ko e meʻa ʻi he kakai Mitiane naʻe ngaohi ʻe he kakai ʻIsileli moʻonautolu ʻae ngaahi toitoiʻanga ʻi he ngaahi ʻana, mo e ngaahi potu mālohi, ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga.

3 Duk lokacin da Isra’ilawa suka yi shuka sai Midiyawa da Amalekawa da waɗansu mutane daga gabashi sukan kai musu hari.

Pea naʻe pehē, feʻunga mo e tō ʻae taʻu ʻe ʻIsileli, naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae kakai Mitiane, mo e kakai ʻAmaleki, mo e fānau mei he potu hopoʻangalaʻā, ʻio, naʻe haʻu ʻakinautolu ketau kiate kinautolu;

4 Sukan yi sansani a ƙasar sun lalatar da hatsi har zuwa Gaza kuma ba sa barin wani abu mai rai wa Isra’ila, ko tumaki ko shanu ko jakuna.

Pea naʻa nau fakanofo ʻae tau kiate kinautolu, pea naʻa nau maumau ʻae fua ʻoe fonua, ʻo fai atu ki Kesa, pea naʻe ʻikai tuku ha meʻakai ki ʻIsileli, pe ha sipi, pe ha pulu, pe ha ʻasi.

5 Sukan zo da dabbobinsu da tentinsu kamar tarin fāri. Yana da wuya a ƙidaya yawan mutanen da kuma raƙumansu; sukan mamaye ƙasar don su lalatar da ita.

He naʻa nau ʻalu hake mo ʻenau fanga manu mo honau ngaahi tuʻu fale, pea nau haʻu ʻo hangē ko e fanga heʻe honau toko lahi; he ko kinautolu mo ʻenau ngaahi kāmeli naʻe taʻefaʻalaua: pea naʻa nau haʻu ki he fonua ko hono fakaʻauha.

6 Midiyawa suka talauce Isra’ilawa ƙwarai, har ya sa suka yi kuka ga Ubangiji don taimako.

Pea naʻe fakamasiva lahi ʻa ʻIsileli ko e meʻa ʻi he kakai Mitiane; pea naʻe tangi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kia Sihova.

7 Sa’ad da Isra’ilawa suka yi kuka ga Ubangiji saboda Midiyawa,

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he tangi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kia Sihova ko e meʻa ʻi he kakai Mitiane,

8 sai ya aika musu da annabi, wanda ya ce, “Ga abin da Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila ya ce na fitar da ku daga Masar, daga ƙasar bauta.

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;

9 Na ƙwace ku daga ikon Masarawa da kuma daga dukan hannuwan masu danniya. Na kore su a gabanku na kuma ba ku ƙasarsu.

Pea naʻaku fakamoʻui ʻakimoutolu mei he nima ʻoe kakai ʻIsipite, pea mei he nima ʻokinautolu, kotoa pē naʻe fakamamahiʻi ʻakimoutolu, pea u kapusi atu ʻakinautolu mei homou ʻao, pea u foaki kiate kimoutolu honau fonua;

10 Na ce muku, ‘Ni ne Ubangiji Allahnku; kada ku bauta allolin Amoriyawa, waɗanda kuke zama a ƙasarsu.’ Amma ba ku saurare ni ba.”

Pea ne u pehē kiate kimoutolu, Ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua; ʻoua naʻa mou manavahē ki he ngaahi ʻotua ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ko e fonua ʻonautolu ʻoku mou nofo ai: ka kuo ʻikai te mou fai talangofua ki hoku leʻo.”

11 Sai mala’ikan Ubangiji ya zo ya zauna a ƙarƙashin itacen oak a Ofra na Yowash mutumin Abiyezer, inda ɗansa Gideyon yake sussukar alkama a wurin matsin inabi don yă ɓoye daga Midiyawa.

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 Sa’ad da mala’ikan Ubangiji ya bayyana wa Gideyon, sai ya ce masa, “Ubangiji yana tare da kai, jarumi.”

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 Gideyon ya ce, “Ranka yă daɗe, in Ubangiji yana tare da mu, me ya sa waɗannan abubuwa suka faru da mu? Ina dukan abubuwan al’ajabinsa waɗanda kakanninmu suka gaya mana game su sa’ad da suka ce, ‘Ashe, ba Ubangiji ne ya fitar da mu daga Masar ba?’ Amma yanzu Ubangiji ya rabu da mu ya kuma sa mu hannun Midiyawa.”

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 Sai Ubangiji ya juya wajensa ya ce, “Ka je da ƙarfin da kake da shi ka ceci Isra’ila daga hannun Midiyawa. Ba Ni ne nake aikan ka ba?”

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 Gideyon ya ce, “Amma Ubangiji, yaya zan iya ceci Isra’ila? Kabilata ce marar ƙarfi duka a Manasse, kuma ni ne ƙarami a iyalina.”

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 Ubangiji ya ce, “Zan kasance tare da kai, za ka kuwa fatattake dukan Midiyawa gaba ɗaya.”

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 Gideyon ya ce, “In lalle na sami tagomashi a gabanka, to, ka ba ni wata alamar da ta nuna lalle kai kake magana da ni.

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 Ina roƙonka ka dakata har in komo in kawo maka hadayata in ajiye a gabanka.” Sai Ubangiji ya ce, “Zan jira har ka dawo.”

‌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 Sai Gideyon ya shiga ciki, ya gyara’yar akuya ya dafa, da garin efa ya yi burodi marar yisti. Da ya sa naman a kwando, romon kuma a tukunya, sai ya fito da su waje ya miƙa masa su a ƙarƙashin itacen oak.

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 Mala’ikan Allah ya ce masa, “Ka ɗauko naman da burodi marar yisti ka sa su a kan wannan dutse, ka zuba romon a kai.” Gideyon kuwa ya yi haka.

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 Da kan sandan da yake a hannunsa, mala’ikan Ubangiji ya taɓa naman da burodi marar yistin. Sai wuta ta fito daga dutsen ta cinye naman da burodin. Mala’ikan kuwa ya ɓace.

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 Sa’ad da Gideyon ya gane mala’ikan Ubangiji ne, sai ya ce, “Ya Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka! Na ga mala’ikan Ubangiji ido da ido.”

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 Amma Ubangiji ya ce masa, “Salama! Kada ka ji tsoro, ba za ka mutu ba.”

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate ia, “Ke fiemālie pe koe; ʻoua naʻa ke manavahē: ʻe ʻikai te ke mate.”

24 Saboda haka Gideyon ya gina wa Ubangiji bagade a can, ya kuma kira shi, Ubangiji Salama ne. Har wa yau bagaden yana a Ofra ta mutanen Abiyezer.

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 A wannan dare Ubangiji ya ce masa, “Ka ɗauki bijimi na biyu daga garken mahaifinka, wannan mai shekara bakwai. Ka rushe bagaden mahaifinka na Ba’al ka sare ginshiƙin Ashera kusa da ita.

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 Sa’an nan ka gina bagade irin da ya dace wa Ubangiji Allahnka a kan wannan tudu. Ka yi amfani da itacen katakon ginshiƙin Ashera da ka sare, ka miƙa bijiman nan biyu hadaya ta ƙonawa.”

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 Saboda haka Gideyon ya ɗebi bayinsa bakwai ya yi yadda Ubangiji ya ce masa. Amma saboda yana tsoron iyalinsa da mutanen gari, ya yi haka da dare a maimako da rana.

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 Da safe sa’ad da mutanen garin suka tashi, sai suka tarar an rushe bagaden Ba’al, tare da ginshiƙin Ashera da yake kusa da shi, duk an sare, bijimi na biyu kuma aka miƙa hadaya a kan sabon bagaden!

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 Sai suka tambayi junansu, “Wa ya yi wannan?” Sa’ad da suka bincika a hankali, sai aka faɗa musu, “Gideyon ɗan Yowash ne ya yi haka.”

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 Mutanen garin suka ce wa Yowash, “Ka kawo mana ɗanka. Dole yă mutu, domin ya rushe bagaden Ba’al, ya sare ginshiƙin Asheran da yake tsaye kusa da shi.”

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 Amma Yowash ya ce wa taron da suka tayar masa, “Za ku yi hamayya domin Ba’al ne? Kuna ƙoƙari ku cece shi ne? Duk wanda ya yi faɗa saboda shi za a kashe shi kafin safe. In lalle Ba’al allah ne, zai kāre kansa sa’ad da wani ya rushe bagadensa.”

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 Saboda haka a ranar suka kira Gideyon, “Yerub-Ba’al,” suna cewa, “Bari Ba’al ya yi hamayya da shi,” domin ya rushe bagaden Ba’al.

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 To, dukan Midiyawa, Amalekawa da sauran mutanen gabashi suka haɗa ƙarfi suka ƙetare Urdun suka kafa sansani a Kwarin Yezireyel.

Pea naʻe toki fakataha ai ʻae kakai Mitiane kotoa pē mo e kakai ʻAmaleki mo e fānau kotoa pē ʻoe potu hahake, ʻonau ʻalu atu, ʻo ʻapitanga ʻi he teleʻa ʻo Sesilili.

34 Sa’an nan Ruhun Ubangiji ya sauko wa Gideyon, ya kuma busa ƙaho, ya kira mutanen Abiyezer su bi shi.

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 Ya aika manzanni ko’ina a Manasse, yana kiransu su kintsa, haka ma Asher, Zebulun da Naftali, ta haka su ma suka haura su sadu da su.

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 Gideyon ya cewa Allah, “In za ka ceci Isra’ila ta hannuna yadda ka yi alkawari,

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Kitione ki he ʻOtua, Kapau te ke fakamoʻui ʻa ʻIsileli ʻaki hoku nima ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola,

37 to, zan shimfiɗa ulu a masussuka, inda safe akwai raɓa a kan ulun kaɗai, ƙasa kuwa a bushe, to, zan san cewa za ka ceci Isra’ila ta hannuna, yadda ka ce.”

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 Abin da faru ke nan. Gideyon ya tashi da sassafe kashegari, ya matse ulun ya kakkaɓe raɓar, ruwan ya cika ƙwarya.

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 Sa’an nan Gideyon ya ce wa Allah, “Kada ka yi fushi da ni. Bari in ƙara yin wani gwaji kuma da ulun. A wannan lokaci ka sa ulun yă bushe, ƙasar kuma ta rufu da raɓa.”

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.

40 A wannan dare Allah ya yi haka. Ulun ne kaɗai yake a bushe, amma dukan ƙasar ta jiƙe da raɓa.

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.
