Mahukunta 7
1 Kashegari da sassafe, Yerub-Ba’al (wato, Gideyon) da dukan mutanensa suka kafa sansani a maɓulɓulan Harod. Sansanin Midiyawa kuma yana arewa da su a kwari kusa da tudu na More.
And Jerobaal rose early, the same is Gedeon, and all the people with him, and encamped at the fountain of Arad; and the camp of Madiam was to the north of him, [reaching] from Gabaathamorai, in the valley.
2 Sai Ubangiji ya ce wa Gideyon, “Mutanen da kake da su sun yi mini yawa da zan ba da Midiyawa a hannunsu. Don kada Isra’ila tă yi mini fahariya cewa ƙarfinta ne ya cece su,
And the Lord said to Gedeon, The people with thee [are] many, so that I may not deliver Madiam into their hand, lest at any time Israel boast against me, saying, My hand has saved me.
3 ka yi shela ga mutane yanzu cewa, ‘Duk wanda ya yi rawan jiki don tsoro, sai yă juya yă bar Dutsen Gileyad.’” Saboda haka mutum dubu ashirin da biyu suka koma, sai mutum dubu goma suka rage.
And now speak in the ears of the people, saying, Who [is] afraid and fearful? let him turn and depart from mount Galaad: and there returned of the people twenty-two thousand, and ten thousand were left.
4 Amma Ubangiji ya ce wa Gideyon, “Har yanzu mutanen sun yi yawa. Ka kai cikin ruwa, in kuma tankaɗe maka su a can. In na ce, ‘Wannan zai tafi da kai,’ to, zai tafi; amma in na ce, ‘Wannan ba zai tafi da kai ba,’ to, ba zai tafi ba.”
And the Lord said to Gedeon, The people is yet numerous; bring them down to the water, and I will purge them there for thee: and it shall come to pass that of whomsoever I shall say to thee, This one shall go with thee, [even] he shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I shall say to thee, This one shall not go with thee, [even] he shall not go with thee.
5 Saboda haka Gideyon ya kai mutanen cikin ruwa. A can Ubangiji ya ce masa, “Ka ware waɗanda suka tanɗi ruwa kamar kare daga waɗanda suka durƙusa suka sha ruwan.”
And he brought the people down to the water; and the Lord said to Gedeon, Whosoever shall lap of the water with his tongue as if a dog should lap, thou shalt set him apart, and [also] whosoever shall bow down upon his knees to drink.
6 Mutum ɗari uku sun tanɗi ruwa, dukan sauran kuwa suka durƙusa suka sha ruwan.
And the number of those that lapped with their hand to their mouth was three hundred men; and all the rest of the people bowed upon their knees to drink water.
7 Sai Ubangiji ya ce wa Gideyon, “Da mutum ɗari uku ɗin nan da suka tanɗi ruwa, zan cece ka in kuma ba da Midiyawa a hannuwanku. Ka bar sauran mutane su tafi kowa zuwa wurinsa.”
And the Lord said to Gedeon, I will save you by the three hundred men that lapped, and I will give Madiam into thy hand; and all the [rest of the] people shall go every one to his place.
8 Saboda haka Gideyon ya mai da sauran Isra’ilawa zuwa tentinsu amma ya riƙe mutum ɗari uku waɗanda suka karɓi guzuri da ƙahonin sauran. To, sansanin Midiyawa yana ƙasa da su a kwarin.
And they took the provision of the people in their hand, and their horns; and he sent away every man of Israel each to his tent, and he strengthened the three hundred; and the army of Madiam were beneath him in the valley.
9 A daren nan Ubangiji ya ce wa Gideyon, “Tashi ka tafi sansaninsu domin zan ba da su a hannuwanka.
And it came to pass in that night that the Lord said to him, Arise, go down into the camp, for I have delivered it into thy hand.
10 In kana tsoron fāɗa musu, sai ka tafi da bawanka Fura
And if thou art afraid to go down, go down thou and thy servant Phara into the camp.
11 ka kuma saurari abin da suke faɗi. Bayan haka za ka sami ƙarfin hali ka auka musu.” Saboda haka sai ya tafi tare da Fura bawansa zuwa sansanin.
And thou shalt hear what they shall say, and afterwards thy hands shall be strong, and thou shalt go down into the camp: and he went down and Phara his servant to the extremity of the [companies of] fifty, which were in the camp.
12 Midiyawa, Amalekawa da dukan sauran mutane gabashi suka yi sansani a kwari, kamar fāra. Raƙumansu kuma kamar yashi a bakin teku don sun wuce ƙirge.
And Madiam and Amalec and all the children of the east [were] scattered in the valley, as the locust for multitude; and there was no number to their camels, but they were as the sand on the seashore for multitude.
13 Gideyon ya iso daidai wani yana faɗa wa wani aboki mafarkinsa, yana cewa, “Na yi mafarki, na ga dunƙule burodin sha’ir ya fāɗo a tsakiyar sansanin Midiyawa. Ya bugi tentin da ƙarfin da ya sa tenti ta kife a ƙasa.”
And Gedeon came, and behold a man [was] relating to his neighbour a dream, and he said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream, and behold, a cake of barley bread rolling into the camp of Madiam, and it came as far as a tent, and smote it, and it fell, and it turned it up, and the tent fell.
14 Abokinsa ya ce, “Ai wannan ba wani abu ba ne fiye da takobin Gideyon ɗan Yowash, mutumin Isra’ila. Allah ya ba da Midiyawa da dukan sansani a hannuwansa.”
And his neighbour answered and said, This is none other than the sword of Gedeon, son of Joas, a man of Israel: God has delivered Madiam and all the host into his hand.
15 Da Gideyon ya ji mafarkin da fassararsa, sai ya yi wa Allah sujada. Ya koma sansanin Isra’ila ya yi kira da ƙarfi ya ce, “Ku tashi! Ubangiji ya ba da sansanin Midiyawa a hannuwanku.”
And it came to pass when Gedeon heard the account of the dream and the interpretation of it, that he worshipped the Lord, and returned to the camp of Israel, and said, Rise, for the Lord has delivered the camp of Madiam into our hand.
16 Ya raba mutum ɗari uku ɗin kashi uku, ya ba kowannensu ƙaho da tulu da acibalbal a ciki.
And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and put horns in the hands of all, and empty pitchers, and torches in the pitchers:
17 Ya ce musu, “Ku dube ni, ku bi abin da na yi. Sa’ad da na kai sansanin, ku yi daidai abin da na yi.
and he said to them, Ye shall look at me, and so shall ye do; and behold, I will go into the beginning of the host, and it shall come to pass [that] as I do, so shall ye do.
18 Sa’ad da ni da dukan waɗanda suke tare da ni muka busa ƙahoninmu, to, ko’ina a kewayen sansanin sai ku busa naku ku kuma yi ihu, ku ce, ‘Don Ubangiji da kuma domin Gideyon.’”
And I will sound with the horn, and all ye with me shall sound with the horn round about the whole camp, and ye shall say, For the Lord and Gedeon.
19 Gideyon da mutum ɗari da suke tare da shi suka kai sansanin da tsakar dare bayan an sauya matsara. Suka busa ƙahoninsu, suka farfashe tulunansu da suke hannuwansu.
And Gedeon and the hundred men that were with him came to the extremity of the army in the beginning of the middle watch; and they completely roused the guards, and sounded with the horns, and they broke the pitchers that were in their hands,
20 Ƙungiyoyi uku ɗin nan suka busa ƙahonin, suka fasa tuluna. Suka ɗauki acibalbal a hannuwansu na hagu da ƙahonin busawa a hannuwansu na dama, sai suka yi ihu, “Takobi don Ubangiji da kuma don Gideyon!”
and the three companies sounded with the horns, and broke the pitchers, and held the torches in their left hands, and in their right hands their horns to sound with; and they cried out, A sword for the Lord and for Gedeon.
21 Yayinda kowannensu ya tsaya a inda yake kewaye da sansanin, dukan Midiyawa suka fito da gudu, suna kuka yayinda suke gudu.
And [every] man stood in his place round about the host; and all the host ran, and sounded [an alarm], and fled.
22 Sa’ad da aka busa ƙahonin nan ɗari uku sai Ubangiji ya sa Midiyawa suka yi ta saran juna. Mayaƙan suka gudu zuwa Bet-Shitta wajen Zerera har zuwa yankin Abel-Mehola kusa da Tabbat.
And they sounded with the three hundred horns; and the Lord set [every] man's sword in all the host against his neighbour.
23 Aka kira dukan Isra’ilawa daga Naftali, Asher da dukan Manasse, suka kuwa fatattaki Midiyawa.
And the host fled as far as Bethseed Tagaragatha Abel-meula to Tabath; and the men of Israel from Nephthali, and from Aser, and from all Manasse, came to help, and followed after Madiam.
24 Gideyon ya aiki manzanni zuwa dukan ƙasar tudu ta Efraim cewa, “Ku gangaro ku yaƙi Midiyawa ku ƙwace ruwan Urdun gaba da su har zuwa Bet-Bara.” Saboda haka aka kira dukan mutanen Efraim suka ƙwace ruwan Urdun har zuwa Bet-Bara.
And Gedeon sent messengers into all mount Ephraim, saying, Come down to meet Madiam, and take to yourselves the water as far as Baethera and Jordan: and every man of Ephraim cried out, and they took the water before hand unto Baethera and Jordan.
25 Suka kuma kama shugabannin biyu na Midiyawa, Oreb da Zeyib suka kashe Oreb a dutsen Oreb, Zeyib kuma a wurin matsin ruwa inabin Zeyib. Suka fatattaki Midiyawa suka kawo kawunan Oreb da Zeba wurin Gideyon, wanda yake kusa da Urdun.
And they took the princess of Madiam, even Oreb and Zeb; and they slew Oreb in Sur Oreb, and they slew Zeb in Jakephzeph; and they pursued Madiam, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeb to Gedeon from beyond Jordan.
