Uk-ukom 6

1 Inaramid dagiti tattao ti Israel ti dakes iti imatang ni Yahweh, ket inkabilna ida iti turay ti Midian iti pito a tawen.

And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years.

2 Pinarigat ti pannakabalin ti Midian ti Israel. Gapu iti Midian, nagaramid dagiti tattao ti Israel iti pagkamanganda kadagiti gukayab iti turturod, kadagiti rukib, ken kadagiti sarikedked.

And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel: [and] because of the Midianites the children of Israel made them the dens which [are] in the mountains, and caves, and strong holds.

3 Napasamak a tunggal agmula dagiti Israelita, rauten ida dagiti Midianita ken Amalekita ken dagiti tattao manipud iti daya.

And [so] it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east, even they came up against them;

4 Agkampo ti armadada iti daga ket dadaelenda dagiti mulada, agingga idiay Gaza. Awan ti ibatida a taraon iti Israel, ken awan ti karnero, baka man wenno dagiti asno.

And they encamped against them, and destroyed the increase of the earth, till thou comest to Gaza; and left no sustenance for Israel, neither sheep, nor ox, nor ass.

5 Tunggal sumang-atda ken dagiti tarakenda ken dagiti toldada, umayda a kasla pangen dagiti dudon, ket saan a mabilang dagiti tattao man wenno dagiti kamelioda. Sinakupda ti daga tapno dadaelenda daytoy.

For they came up with their cattle, and their tents, and they came as grasshoppers for multitude; [for] both they and their camels were without number: and they entered into the land to destroy it.

6 Nakaro iti panangpapanglaw ti Midian kadagiti Israelita isu nga immawag dagiti tattao ti Israel kenni Yahweh.

And Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites; and the children of Israel cried to the LORD.

7 Idi immawag dagiti tattao ti israel kenni Yahweh gapu iti Midian,

And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried to the LORD because of the Midianites,

8 nangibaon ni Yahweh iti profeta kadagiti tattao ti Israel. Kinuna ti profeta kadakuada, “Kastoy ti ibagbaga ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel: 'Inruarkayo manipud Egipto; inruarkayo manipud iti balay ti pannakatagabu.

That the LORD sent a prophet to the children of Israel, who said to them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you forth from the house of bondage;

9 Inispalkayo manipud iti pannakabalin dagiti Egiptio, ken manipud iti pannakabalin dagiti amin a nangparparigat kadakayo. Pinapanawko ida iti sangoananyo, ket intedko kadakayo ti dagada.

And I delivered you from the hand of the Egyptians, and from the hand of all that oppressed you, and drove them out from before you, and gave you their land;

10 Kinunak kadakayo, “Siak ni Yahweh a Diosyo; Binilinkayo a saankayo nga agrukbab kadagiti dios dagiti Amorreo, a makindaga iti pagnanaedanyo.” Ngem saankayo a nagtulnog iti timekko.'”

And I said to you, I [am] the LORD your God; fear not the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but ye have not obeyed my voice.

11 Ita, immay ti anghel ni Yahweh ket nagtugaw iti sirok ti kayo a lugo idiay Ofra, a kukua ni Joas (nga Abiezerita), kabayatan a ni Gideon a putot a lalaki ni Joas ket agir-irik babaen iti panangibaotna iti daytoy iti daga, idiay pagpespesan ti arak—tapno ilemmeng daytoy kadagiti Midianita.

And there came an angel of the LORD, and sat under an oak which [was] in Ophrah, that [pertained] to Joash the Abi-ezrite: and his son Gideon thrashed wheat by the wine-press, to hide [it] from the Midianites.

12 Nagparang ti anghel ni Yahweh kenkuana ket kinunana, “Adda ni Yahweh kenka, sika a nabileg a mannakigubat!”

And the angel of the LORD appeared to him, and said to him, The LORD [is] with thee, thou mighty man of valor.

13 Kinuna ni Gideon kenkuana, “O, apok, no adda ni Yahweh kadakami, apay ngarud a napasamak amin daytoy kadakami? Sadino ti ayan dagiti amin a nakakaskasdaaw nga aramidna nga imbaga dagiti ammami kadakami, idi kinunada, 'Saan kadi nga inruarnatayo ni Yahweh manipud Egipto?' Ngem ita, binaybay-annakami ni Yahweh ken inyawatnakami iti pannakabalin ti Midian.”

And Gideon said to him, O my LORD, if the LORD is with us, why then hath all this befallen us? and where [are] all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt? but now the LORD hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.

14 Kimmita ni Yahweh kenkuana ket kinunana, “Mapanka iti daytoy a pigsa nga adda kenka. Ispalem ti Israel manipud iti pannakabalin dagiti Midianita. Saanka kadi nga imbaon?”

And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee?

15 Kinuna ni Gideon kenkuana, “Pangaasim, Apo, kasano a maispalko ti Israel? Kitaem, ti pamiliak ti kakapuyan iti Manases, ket siak ti kanunumoan iti balay ti amak.”

And he said to him, O my LORD, by what means shall I save Israel? behold, my family [is] poor in Manasseh, and I [am] the least in my father's house.

16 Kinuna ni Yahweh kenkuana, “Addaakto kenka, ket parmekemto ti entero nga armada dagiti Midianita.”

And the LORD said to him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man.

17 Kinuna ni Gideon kenkuana, “No maay-ayoka kaniak, ikkannak ngarud iti pagilasinan a sika iti makisarsarita kaniak.

And he said to him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, then show me a sign that thou talkest with me.

18 Pangaasim, saanka a pumanaw ditoy agingga nga agsubliak kenka ken iyegko ti sagutko ket idatagko iti sangoanam.” Kinuna ni Yahweh, “Agurayak agingga nga agsublika.”

Depart not hence, I pray thee, until I come to thee, and bring forth my present, and set [it] before thee. And he said, I will tarry until thou comest again.

19 Napan ni Gideon ket nagparti iti urbon a kalding ken nagluto iti tinapay nga awan lebadurana manipud iti maysa nga efa ti arina. Inkabilna ti karne iti basket, ken inkabilna ti digo iti banga ket indatagna dagitoy kenkuana iti sirok ti kayo a lugo.

And Gideon went in, and made ready a kid, and unleavened cakes of an ephah of flour: the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought [it] out to him under the oak, and presented [it].

20 Kinuna ti anghel ti Dios kenkuana, “Alaem ti karne ken ti tinapay nga awan lebadurana ket iparabawmo dagitoy iti daytoy a bato, ken ibukbokmo ti digo kadagitoy.” Ket inaramid ngarud ni Gideon dayta.

And the angel of God said to him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay [them] upon this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so.

21 Ket inggaw-at ti anghel ni Yahweh ti murdong ti sarukod nga iggemna. Babaen iti daytoy, sinagidna ti lasag ken ti tinapay nga awan lebadurana; rimmuar ti apuy manipud iti bato ket pinuoranna ti karne ken ti tinapay nga awan lebadurana. Kalpasanna, pimmanaw ti anghel ni Yahweh ket saanen a makita ni Gideon isuna.

Then the angel of the LORD put forth the end of the staff that [was] in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and there rose fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes. Then the angel of the LORD departed from his sight.

22 Naamiris ni Gideon a daytoy ti anghel ni Yahweh. Kinuna ni Gideon, “O, Yahweh nga Apo! Ta nakitak ti anghel ni Yahweh iti rupanrupa!”

And when Gideon perceived that he was [an] angel of the LORD, Gideon said, Alas, O LORD God! for because I have seen an angel of the LORD face to face.

23 Kinuna ni Yahweh kenkuana, “Kappia kenka! Saanka nga agbuteng, saanka a matay.”

And the LORD said to him, Peace [be] to thee; fear not: thou shalt not die.

24 Nangipatakder ngarud ni Gideon iti altar sadiay para kenni Yahweh. Inawaganna daytoy iti, ni Yahweh ket Talna. Agingga kadagitoy nga aldaw, nakatakder pay laeng daytoy idiay Ofra iti puli ti Abi Ezer.

Then Gideon built an altar there to the LORD, and called it Jehovah-shalom: to this day it [is] yet in Ophrah of the Abi-ezrites.

25 Iti dayta a rabii, kinuna ni Yahweh kenkuana, “Alaem ti bulog a baka ti amam, ken ti maikadua a bulog a baka nga agtawen iti pito, ket rebbaem ti altar ni Baal a kukua ti amam, ken putdem ti Asera nga adda iti abayna daytoy.

And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said to him, Take thy father's young bullock, even the second bullock of seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the grove that [is] by it:

26 Mangipatakderka iti altar ni Yahweh a Diosmo iti tuktok daytoy a lugar a pagkamangan, ken aramidem daytoy iti umno a wagas. Idatonmo ti maikadua a bulog a baka kas daton a maipuor amin, usarem ti kayo manipud iti Asera a pinutedmo.”

And build an altar to the LORD thy God upon the top of this rock, in the ordered place, and take the second bullock, and offer a burnt-sacrifice with the wood of the grove which thou shalt cut down.

27 Nangayab ngarud ni Gideon iti sangapulo kadagiti adipenna ket inaramidna kas imbaga ni Yahweh kenkuana. Ngem inaramidna daytoy iti rabii saan nga iti aldaw gapu ta mabuteng unay isuna iti sangkabalayan ti amana ken kadagiti tattao iti ili.

Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as the LORD had said to him: and [so] it was, because he feared his father's household, and the men of the city, that he could not do [it] by day, that he did [it] by night.

28 Kabigatanna, idi bimmangon dagiti tattao iti ili, narebban ti altar ni Baal, ken naputeden ti Asera nga adda iti abayna daytoy ket naidatonen ti maikadua a bulog a baka iti altar a naipatakder.

And when the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was cast down, and the grove was cut down that [was] by it, and the second bullock was offered upon the altar [that was] built.

29 Kinuna dagiti tattao iti siudad iti tunggal maysa, “Siasino ti nangaramid iti daytoy?” Idi nakisaritada kadagiti dadduma ken nangsapulda iti sungbat, kinunada, “Ni Gideon a putot a lalaki ni Joas ti nangaramid iti daytoy a banag.”

And they said one to another, Who hath done this thing? And when they inquired and asked, they said, Gideon the son of Joash hath done this thing.

30 Ket kinuna dagiti tattao ti ili kenni Joas, “Iruarmo ti putotmo tapno mapapatay isuna, gapu ta rinebbana ti altar ni Baal, ken gapu ta pinutedna ti Asera nga adda iti abayna daytoy.”

Then the men of the city said to Joash, Bring out thy son, that he may die: because he hath cast down the altar of Baal, and because he hath cut down the grove that [was] by it.

31 Kinuna ni Joas kadagiti amin a mangtubtubngar kenkuana, “Ipakaasiyo kadi ti napasamak kenni Baal? Isalakanyo kadi isuna? Siasinoman a mangipakaasi iti napasamak kenkuana, mapapatay koma kabayatan a nasapa pay. No maysa a dios ni Baal, ikanawana koma ti bagina no adda mangrebba iti altarna.”

And Joash said to all that stood against him, Will ye plead for Baal? will ye save him? he that will plead for him, let him be put to death whilst [it is yet] morning: if he [is] a god, let him plead for himself, because [one] hath cast down his altar.

32 Iti dayta nga aldaw, napanaganan ngarud ni Gideon iti “Jerub Baal,” gapu ta kinunana, “Ikanawa koma ni Baal ti bagina maibusor kenkuana,” gapu ta rinebba ni Gideon ti altarna.

Therefore on that day he called him Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal plead against him, because he hath thrown down his altar.

33 Ita, nagmaymaysa a nagu-ummong dagiti Midianita, Amalekita, ken dagiti tattao iti daya. Binallasiwda ti Jordan ket nagkampoda idiay tanap ti Jezreel.

Then all the Midianites, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east were assembled, and went over, and encamped in the valley of Jezreel.

34 Ngem kinaluban ti Espiritu ni Yahweh ni Gideon tapno tulunganna isuna. Pinaguni ni Gideon ti trumpeta, ay-ayabanna ti tribu ti Abi Ezer, tapno mabalin a sumurotda kenkuana.

But the Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet; and Abiezer was called after him.

35 Nangibaon isuna kadagiti mensahero a mapan iti entero a Manases, ket naayabanda met a sumurot kenkuana. Nangibaon met isuna kadagiti mensahero iti Aser, Zabulon, ken Neftali, ket simmang-atda a sumabat kenkuana.

And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh; who also was called after him: and he sent messengers to Asher, and to Zebulun, and to Naphtali; and they came up to meet them.

36 Kinuna ni Gideon iti Dios, “No gandatmo iti mangusar kaniak a mangisalakan iti Israel a kas iti kinunam—

And Gideon said to God, If thou wilt save Israel by my hand, as thou hast said,

37 Kitaem, mangikabilak iti dutdot iti pagir-irikan. No addanto laeng linnaaw iti dutdot ket namaga ti amin a daga, ket maammoakto nga usarennak a mangisalakan iti Israel a kas iti kinunam.”

Behold, I will put a fleece of wool on the floor; [and] if the dew shall be on the fleece only, and [it] shall [be] dry upon all the earth [besides], then shall I know that thou wilt save Israel by my hand, as thou hast said.

38 Daytoy ti napasamak— nasapa a bimmangon ni Gideon iti simmaruno a bigat, inummongna ti dutdot ket pinepesna ti linnaaw manipud iti dutdot, umanay a nangpunno iti maysa a mallukong.

And it was so: for he rose early on the morrow, and pressed the fleece, and wrung the dew out of the fleece, a bowl-full of water.

39 Kalpasanna, kinuna ni Gideon iti Dios, “Saanka a makaunget kaniak, agsao-ak pay iti maminsan. Pangaasim ta palubosam iti maysa pay a pammaneknek kaniak babaen iti dutdot. Iti daytoy a tiempo, pagbalinem a namaga ti dutdot, ken maadda koma ti linnaaw iti amin a daga iti aglawlawna daytoy.”

And Gideon said to God, Let not thy anger be hot against me, and I will speak but this once: Let me make trial, I pray thee, but this once with the fleece; let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all the ground let there be dew.

40 Inaramid ti Dios ti dinawatna iti dayta a rabii. Namaga ti dutdot, ken adda linnaaw iti amin a daga iti aglawlawna.

And God did so that night: for it was dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.
