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.
Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people who were with him, rose up early, and camped beside the spring of Harod. And the camp of Midian was on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, 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,
Jehovah said to Gideon, "The people who are with you are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, 'My own 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.
Now therefore proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, 'Whoever is fearful and trembling, let him return and depart from Mount Gilead.' There returned of the people twenty-two thousand; but ten thousand remained.
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.”
Jehovah said to Gideon, "The people are yet too many; bring them down to the water, and I will try them for you there: and it shall be, that of whom I tell you, This shall go with you, the same shall go with you; and of whoever I tell you, This shall not go with you, the same shall not go.
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.”
So he brought down the people to the water. And Jehovah said to Gideon, "Everyone who laps of the water with his tongue, as a dog laps, you shall put to one side; and everyone who gets down on his knees to drink with hand to mouth shall be on the other side."
6 Mutum ɗari uku sun tanɗi ruwa, dukan sauran kuwa suka durƙusa suka sha ruwan.
The number of those who lapped with their tongues was three hundred men, but all the rest of the people got down on 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.”
Jehovah said to Gideon, "By the three hundred men who lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into your hand; and let all the people go every man to his home."
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.
So the people took food in their hand, and their trumpets; and he sent all the men of Israel every man to his tent, but retained the three hundred men. And the camp of Midian was 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.
It happened the same night, that Jehovah said to him, "Arise, get down into the camp; for I have delivered it into your hand.
10 In kana tsoron fāɗa musu, sai ka tafi da bawanka Fura
But if you fear to go down, go with Purah your servant down to 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 you shall hear what they say; and afterward will your hands be strengthened to go down into the camp." Then he went down with Purah his servant to the outermost part of the armed men who 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 Midian, Amalek, and all the Kedemites lay along in the valley as numerous as locusts; and their camels were without number, as numerous as the sand which is on the seashore.
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.”
When Gideon had come, look, there was a man telling a dream to his friend; and he said, "Look, I had a dream, and look, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian, and came to the tent, and struck it so that it fell, and turned it upside down, so that the tent collapsed."
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.”
His friend answered, "This is nothing less than the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel. Into his hand God has delivered Midian, and all the army."
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.”
It was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and its interpretation, that he worshiped, and he returned into the camp of Israel, and said, "Get up, for Jehovah has delivered into your hand the army of Midian."
16 Ya raba mutum ɗari uku ɗin kashi uku, ya ba kowannensu ƙaho da tulu da acibalbal a ciki.
He divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put into the hands of all of them trumpets, and empty pitchers, with torches within 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.
He said to them, "Look at me, and do likewise. And look, when I come to the outermost part of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so you shall 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.’”
When I blow the trumpet, I and all who are with me, then you blow the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, "For Jehovah and for Gideon."
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.
So Gideon and the hundred men who were with him came to the outermost part of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch, when they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and broke in pieces 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!”
The three companies blew the trumpets, and broke the pitchers, and held the torches in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands with which to blow; and they called out, "The sword of Jehovah and of Gideon.'"
21 Yayinda kowannensu ya tsaya a inda yake kewaye da sansanin, dukan Midiyawa suka fito da gudu, suna kuka yayinda suke gudu.
They each stood in his place every man around the camp; and all the army ran; and they shouted, and put them to flight.
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.
They blew the three hundred trumpets, and Jehovah set every man's sword against each other throughout the camp; and the army fled as far as Beth Shittah toward Zererah, as far as the border of Abel Meholah, by Tabbath.
23 Aka kira dukan Isra’ilawa daga Naftali, Asher da dukan Manasse, suka kuwa fatattaki Midiyawa.
The men of Israel were gathered together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after Midian.
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.
Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill country of Ephraim, saying, "Come down against Midian, and capture the waters, as far as Beth Barah, even the Jordan." So all the men of Ephraim were gathered together, and seized the waters as far as Beth Barah, even the 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.
They took the two princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb; and they killed Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and Zeeb they killed at the winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian. Then they brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon beyond the Jordan.
