Uk-ukom 8

1 Kinuna dagiti tattao ti Efraim kenni Gideon, “Ania daytoy nga inaramidmo kadakami? Saannakami nga inayaban idi napanka nakigubat iti Midian.” Ket nakisinnuppiatda kenkuana iti kasta unay.

And the men of Ephraim said unto him—What is this thing thou hast done to us, in not calling us, when thou wentest to fight with Midian? And they did chide with him, sharply.

2 Kinunana kadakuada, “Ania ita ti inaramidko a maiyasping kadakayo? Saan aya a nasaysayaat dagiti matudtud nga ubas ti Efraim ngem ti sibubukel nga apit iti ubas ni Abie-zer?

And he said unto them, What have I done, now, in comparison with you? Is not the grape-gleaning of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?

3 Pinagballiginakayo ti Dios kadagiti prinsipe ti Midian- da Oreb ken Zeeb! Ania ti naaramidko a maiyasping kadakayo?” Bimmaaw ti ungetda kenkuana idi imbagana daytoy.

Into your hand, hath God delivered the princes of Midian—Oreb and Zeeb, what then had I been able to do in comparison with you? Then, was their spirit softened toward him, when he had spoken this word.

4 Dimteng ni Gideon idiay Jordan ket bimmallasiw iti daytoy, isuna ken dagiti tallo gasut a lallaki a kaduana. Nabannogdan, ngem intultuloyda latta ti panagkamatda.

And Gideon came towards the Jordan, being about to pass over—he, and the three hundred men who were with him, faint yet pursuing.

5 Kinunana kadagiti lallaki ti Succot, “Pangngaasiyo ta ikkanyo ti tinapay dagiti tattao a sumursurot kaniak, gapu ta nabannogdan, ket kamkamatek da Zeba ken Salmunna, dagiti ari ti Midian.”

So he said unto the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves of bread to the people that are following me; for, faint, they are, and, I, am in pursuit of Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian.

6 Kinuna dagiti mangidadaulo iti Succot, “Naparmekmo kadin da Zeba ken Salmunna? Saanmi nga ammo no apay a rumbeng nga ikkanmi iti tinapay ti armadam.”

And the princes of Succoth said, Are the palms of the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in thy power, —that we should give to thine army bread?

7 Kinuna ni Gideon, “Inton pagballigiennakami ni Yahweh kada Zeba ken Salmunna, pirsapirsayekto ti lasagyo babaen kadagiti sisiit iti let-ang ken kadagiti sisiitan a mula.”

And Gideon said, Therefore, when Yahweh hath delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into my power, then will I tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness, and with the nettles.

8 Simmang-at isuna idiay Penuel manipud sadiay ket nakisarita kadagiti tattao sadiay iti isu met laeng a wagas, ngem sinungbatan isuna dagiti lallaki idiay Penuel iti kas met laeng iti insungbat dagiti lallaki idiay Succot.

So he went up from thence, to Penuel, and spake unto them in like manner, —and the men of Penuel answered him, as had answered the men of Succoth.

9 Nagsao met isuna kadagiti lallaki ti Penuel ket kinunana, “Inton agsubliak manen a sikakappia, rebbaekto daytoy a torre.”

So he spake to the men of Penuel also, saying, —When I return with success, I will break down this tower.

10 Ita, adda da Zeba ken Salmunna idiay Carcor, agraman ti armadada, agarup 15, 000 a lallaki, dagiti amin a nabati iti entero nga armada dagiti tattao iti daya. Gapu ta napasag ti 120, 000 a lallaki a nasanay a makigubat babaen iti kampilan.

Now, Zebah and Zalmunna, were in Karkor, and their hosts with them, about fifteen thousand, all that were left out of all the host of the sons of the east, —and, the fallen, were a hundred and twenty thousand men, who had drawn the sword.

11 Simmang-at ni Gideon iti kampo ti kabusor a nagna iti dalan ti Nomad, a limmabas idiay Noba ken Jogbea. Pinarmekna ti armada ti kabusor, gapu ta saanda a namnamaen ti panangraut.

So Gideon went up by the way of the tent-dwellers, on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and smote the host, when, the host, had become secure.

12 Nagtaray da Zeba ken Salmunna, ket kabayatan a kamkamaten ida ni Gideon, natiliwna dagiti dua nga ari ti Midian- da Zeba ken Salmunna- ken riniribukna ti amin nga armadada.

And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled, then he pursued them, and captured the two kings of Midian—Zebah and Zalmunna, and, all the host, put he in terror.

13 Nagsubli ni Gideon a putot a lalaki ni Joas manipud iti paggugubatan a nagna iti bessang ti Heres.

And Gideon son of Joash returned from the battle, —from the ascent of Heres;

14 Nakasabat isuna iti maysa nga agtutubo a lalaki kadagiti tattao ti Succot ket nagdamag isuna kenkuana. Inladawan ti agtutubo a lalaki kenkuana dagiti mangidadaulo iti Succot ken dagiti panglakayen daytoy, pitopulo ket pito a lallaki.

and caught a young man, of the men of Succoth, and enquired of him, —so he wrote down for him the princes of Succoth, and the elders thereof, seventy-seven men.

15 Napan ni Gideon kadagiti lallaki ti Succot ket kinunana, “Kitaenyo da Zeba ken Salmunna, a nanglaisanyo kaniak a kinunayo, ‘Naparmekmo kadin da Zeba ken Salmunna? Saanmi nga ammo no apay a rumbeng nga ikkanmi iti tinapay ti armadam.”'

Then came he in unto the men of Succoth, and said, Lo! Zebah and Zalmunna, —concerning whom ye did taunt me, saying—Are the palms of the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in thy power, that we should give to thy weary men bread?

16 Innala ni Gideon dagiti panglakayen ti siudad, ket dinusana dagiti lallaki ti Succot babaen kadagiti sisiit ti let-ang ken nasiit a mulmula.

So he took the elders of the city, and the thorns of the wilderness and the nettles, and taught therewith the men of Succoth:

17 Ket rinebbana ti torre ti Penuel ken pinatayna dagiti lallaki iti dayta a siudad.

the tower of Penuel also, brake he down, —and slew the men of the city.

18 Kinuna ni Gideon kada Zeba ken Salmunna, “Ania ti langa dagiti tattao a pinatayyo idiay Tabor?” Insungbatda, “No kasano ti langam, kasta met kadakuada. Aglanglanga ti tunggal maysa kadakuada a kasla anak iti maysa nga ari.”

Then said he unto Zebah and unto Zalmunna, What manner of men were they, whom ye slew at Tabor? And they said, As thou art, so were they, each one, as handsome as the sons of a king.

19 Kinuna ni Gideon, “Kakabsatko ida, dagiti annak a lallaki ti inak. Iti nagan ni Yahweh nga adda iti agnanayon, no pinagtalinaedyo koma ida a sibibiag, saankayo koma a patayen.”

And he said: My brethren, sons of my mother, they were! As Yahweh liveth, if ye had saved them alive, I would not have slain you.

20 Kinunana kenni Jeter (ti inauna nga anakna), “Tumakderka ket patayem ida!” Ngem saan nga inasut ti agtutubo a lalaki ti kampilanna ta mabuteng isuna, gapu ta ubing pay laeng isuna.

So he said to Jether his firstborn, Up! slay them. But the youth drew not his sword, for he feared, because he was yet a youth.

21 Ket kinuna da Zeba ken Salmunna, “Tumakderka ket patayennakami! Ta kas iti kinalalaki, kasta met ti pigsana.” Timmakder ni Gideon ket pinatayna da Zeba ken Salmunna. Innalana pay dagiti ar-arkos a sinan-bulan nga adda kadagiti tengnged dagiti kamelioda.

Then said Zebah and Zalmunna—Up! thou, and fall upon us, for, like the man, is his might. So Gideon arose, and slew Zebah and Zalmunna, and took the crescents that were on the necks of their camels.

22 Kalpasanna, kinuna dagiti lallaki ti Israel kenni Gideon, “Iturayannakami- sika, ti putotmo a lalaki ken ti appokom a lalaki- gapu ta insalakannakami iti pannakabalin ti Midian.

Then said the men of Israel, unto Gideon, Rule over us—even thou, and thy son, and thy son’s son, —for thou hast saved us out of the power of Midian.

23 Kinuna ni Gideon kadakuada, “Saan a siak ti mangituray kadakayo, wenno ti anakko a lalaki ti mangituray kadakayo. Ni Yahweh ti mangituray kadakayo.”

And Gideon said unto them, I, will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you, —Yahweh, shall rule over you.

24 Kinuna ni Gideon kadakuada, “Adda koma kiddawek kadakayo: nga ited koma kaniak ti tunggal maysa kadakayo dagiti aritos manipud iti sinamsamna.” (Addaan dagiti Midianita kadagiti balitok nga aritos gapu ta Ismaelitada.)

And Gideon said unto them—I would make to you a request, Give me, then, every man the nose-ring of his spoil. For they had, nose-rings of gold, for, Ishmaelites, they were.

25 Insungbatda, “Siraragsakkami a mangited kadagitoy kenka.” Nangiyaplagda iti kagay ket impuruak ti tunggal lalaki iti daytoy dagiti aritos manipud iti sinamsamna.

And they said, We will, freely give. So they spread out a mantle, and cast therein, every man the nose-ring of his spoil.

26 1, 700 a siklo iti balitok ti kadagsen dagiti balitok nga aritos a kiniddawna. Mainayon daytoy a sinamsam kadagiti sinan-bulan nga ar-arkos, kadagiti bitin-bitin, kadagiti maris-ube a pagan-anay nga ingkawes dagiti ari ti Midian, ken mainayon kadagiti kawar a naipalikmut kadagiti tengnged dagiti kamelioda.

And so it was, that the weight of the nose-rings of gold which he requested, was a thousand and seven hundred [shekels] of gold, —besides the crescents, and the pendants, and the raiment of purple that were upon the kings of Midian, and besides the ornaments that were on the necks of their camels.

27 Nangaramid ni Gideon iti efod manipud kadagiti aritos ket ingkabilna daytoy iti siudadna, idiay Ofra, ket nagbalangkantis dagiti amin nga Israel babaen iti panagdaydayawda iti daytoy sadiay. Nagbalin daytoy a palab-og para kenni Gideon ken kadagiti adda iti balayna.

And Gideon made thereof an Ephod, and set it up in his own city, in Ophrah, and all Israel went unchastely astray after it there, —so it became, to Gideon and to his house, a snare.

28 Naparmek ngarud ti Midian iti sangoanan dagiti tattao ti Israel ket saandan nga inngato manen dagiti uloda. Ket adda ti kappia iti daga iti las-ud iti uppat a pulo a tawen kadagiti al-aldaw ni Gideon.

Thus was Midian subdued, before the sons of Israel, neither did they again lift up their head, —and the land had rest forty years, in the days of Gideon.

29 Nagsubli ni Jerubbaal a putot ni Joas ket nagnaed iti bukodna a balay.

So then Jerubbaal, son of Joash, went and dwelt in his own house.

30 Pitopulo a lallaki ti putot ni Gideon, gapu ta adu ti assawana.

And, Gideon, had seventy sons, sprung from his own loins, —for, many wives, had he.

31 Nangipasngay met kenkuana iti lalaki ti kabkabbalayenna nga adda idi idiay Sikem, ket pinanaganan ni Gideon isuna iti Abimelec.

And, his concubine who was in Shechem, she also, bare him a son, —and he gave him the name of Abimelech.

32 Natay ni Gideon a putot a lalaki ni Joas idi lakay unayen isuna ket naitabon iti ayan ti tanem ni Joas nga amana, idiay Ofra iti puli ti Abie-zer.

And Gideon, son of Joash, died in a good old age, —and was buried in the grave of Joash his father, in Ophrah, of the Abiezrites.

33 Ket napasamak, apaman a natay ni Gideon, timmallikud manen dagiti tattao ti Israel ket nagbalangkantisda babaen iti panagdaydayawda kadagiti Baal. Pinagbalinda ni Baal-berit a diosda.

And it came to pass that, as soon as Gideon was dead, the sons of Israel turned back, and went unchastely astray after the Baals, —and appointed them Baal-berith, to be god:

34 Saan a nalagip dagiti tattao ti Israel a dayawen ni Yahweh a Diosda a nangispal kadakuada manipud iti pannakabalin dagiti amin a kabusorda iti aglawlawda.

so the sons of Israel remembered not Yahweh, their own God, —who had rescued them out of the hand of all their enemies, on every side;

35 Saanda a tinungpal dagiti karida iti balay ni Jerubbaal (ti sabali pay a nagan ni Gideon) a kas subad iti amin a kinasayaat nga inaramidna iti Israel.

neither dealt they in lovingkindness with the house of Jerubbaal [namely] Gideon, —according to all the goodness wherewith he had dealt with Israel.
