Hakim-hakim 6

1 Sekali lagi umat Israel berdosa kepada TUHAN, sehingga ia membiarkan bangsa Midian menguasai mereka tujuh tahun lamanya.

And they did [the] people of Israel the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh and he gave them Yahweh in [the] hand of Midian seven years.

2 Orang Israel begitu takut kepada orang Midian, sehingga mereka bersembunyi di dalam gua-gua dan di tempat-tempat lain yang aman di gunung-gunung.

And it prevailed [the] hand of Midian over Israel because of Midian they made for themselves - [the] people of Israel the dens which [are] in the mountains and the caves and the strongholds.

3 Tambahan pula setiap kali petani Israel bercocok tanam, datanglah orang Midian bersama-sama dengan orang Amalek dan orang-orang lainnya dari padang pasir menyerang orang Israel.

And it was if it sowed Israel and it went up Midian and Amalek and [the] people of [the] east and they went up on him.

4 Mereka berkemah di daerah Israel dan merusak semua tanaman di sana sampai ke daerah di sekeliling Gaza sebelah selatan. Juga ternak domba, sapi dan keledai umat Israel dibawa lari. Tak ada sesuatu pun yang mereka tinggalkan sehingga umat Israel tidak punya makanan sama sekali.

And they encamped on them and they destroyed [the] produce of the land until coming you Gaza and not they left sustenance in Israel and a sheep and an ox and a donkey.

5 Orang-orang itu datang berbondong-bondong dengan ternak dan kemah mereka dalam jumlah yang sangat besar. Mereka dan unta-untanya terlalu banyak untuk dapat dihitung. Mereka datang merusak negeri itu,

For they and livestock their they came up and tents their (and they came *Q(K)*) according to [the] abundance of locust[s] for multitude and [belonged] to them and to camels their not number and they came in the land to destroy it.

6 dan umat Israel tak dapat berbuat apa-apa terhadap mereka.

And it became low Israel very because of Midian and they cried out [the] people of Israel to Yahweh.

7 Kemudian umat Israel berseru meminta TUHAN menolong mereka melawan orang Midian.

And it was that they cried out [the] people of Israel to Yahweh on [the] causes of Midian.

8 TUHAN mengutus seorang nabi kepada mereka. Nabi itu berkata, "Beginilah kata TUHAN, Allah Israel: 'Kamu telah Kulepaskan dari perbudakan di Mesir.

And he sent Yahweh a man a prophet to [the] people of Israel and he said to them thus he says Yahweh - [the] God of Israel I I brought up you from Egypt and I brought out you from a house of slaves.

9 Kamu telah Kuselamatkan dari orang Mesir dan dari orang-orang negeri ini yang memerangi kamu. Mereka telah Kuusir dari negeri ini ketika kamu menyerang mereka, lalu Kuberikan tanah mereka kepadamu.

And I delivered you from [the] hand of Egypt and from [the] hand of all [those who] oppressed you and I drove out them from before you and I gave! to you land their.

10 Sudah Kukatakan kepadamu bahwa Akulah TUHAN Allahmu, dan bahwa kamu tak boleh menyembah dewa-dewa bangsa Amori yang negerinya kamu diami sekarang ini. Tetapi kamu tidak menuruti perintah-Ku.'"

And I said! to you I [am] Yahweh God your not you must fear [the] gods of the Amorite[s] whom you [are] dwelling in land their and not you have listened to voice my.

11 Pada suatu hari malaikat TUHAN datang ke kota Ofra, lalu duduk di bawah pohon terpentin, milik Yoas, seorang dari golongan Kaum Abiezer. Anaknya yang bernama Gideon, sedang menebah gandum di tempat pemerasan anggur. Ia melakukan itu dengan sembunyi-sembunyi supaya tidak dilihat oleh orang Midian.

And he came [the] angel of Yahweh and he sat under the oak which [was] in Ophrah which [belonged] to Joash [the] Abi-ezrite and Gideon son his [was] beating out wheat in the winepress to hide [it] from Midian.

12 Malaikat TUHAN itu menampakkan diri kepadanya dan berkata, "Hai, pemuda yang perkasa! TUHAN besertamu!"

And he appeared to him [the] angel of Yahweh and he said to him Yahweh [is] with you O mighty [man] of strength.

13 Sahut Gideon, "Maaf, tuan! Kalau betul TUHAN menyertai kami, mengapa segala hal ini menimpa kami? Di manakah segala keajaiban yang pernah dilakukan TUHAN dahulu dan yang diceritakan oleh nenek moyang kami tentang bagaimana TUHAN mengeluarkan mereka dari Mesir? Sekarang TUHAN sudah meninggalkan kami dan membiarkan kami dikuasai oleh orang-orang Midian."

And he said to him Gideon pardon me O lord my and there Yahweh [is] with us and why? has it found us all this and where? [are] all wonders his which they recounted to us fathers our saying ¿ not from Egypt did he bring up us Yahweh and now he has abandoned us Yahweh and he has given us in [the] hand of Midian.

14 Kemudian TUHAN memberikan perintah ini kepada Gideon, "Dengan seluruh kekuatanmu pergilah melepaskan orang Israel dari kekuasaan orang Midian. Akulah yang mengutusmu."

And he turned to him Yahweh and he said go in strength your this and you will deliver Israel from [the] hand of Midian ¿ not have I sent you.

15 Gideon menjawab, "Mengapa saya, TUHAN? Mana mungkin saya melepaskan umat Israel dari kekuasaan orang Midian. Di dalam suku Manasye, kaum sayalah yang paling lemah. Dan di dalam keluarga saya pun sayalah pula yang paling tak berarti."

And he said to him pardon me O Lord how? will I deliver Israel here! family my [is] the weak in Manasseh and I [am] the insignificant in [the] house of father my.

16 "Pasti kau bisa!" kata TUHAN, "sebab Akulah yang akan membantumu. Orang-orang Midian akan dapat kauhancurkan dengan mudah, seolah-olah kau hanya menghadapi satu orang saja."

And he said to him Yahweh that I will be with you and you will strike down Midian like a man one.

17 Jawab Gideon, "Kalau saya benar-benar disukai TUHAN, cobalah berikan suatu tanda bahwa memang Tuhanlah yang memberi perintah itu kepada saya.

And he said to him if please I have found favor in view your and you will do for me a sign that you [are] speaking with me.

18 Saya mohon sudilah TUHAN menunggu dahulu di sini sampai saya menyajikan makanan kepada TUHAN." "Baik," jawab TUHAN, "Aku akan menunggu sampai kau kembali."

May not please you depart from here until come I to you and I will bring out gift my and I will set [it] before you and he said I I will remain until returning you.

19 Maka pulanglah Gideon lalu memasak seekor kambing yang muda, dan mengambil sepuluh kilogram tepung, kemudian membuat roti yang tidak beragi. Setelah itu daging itu ditaruhnya di dalam keranjang, dan kuahnya di dalam periuk, lalu semuanya itu dibawa dan disajikan kepada malaikat TUHAN yang sedang menunggu di bawah pohon terpentin itu.

And Gideon he went and he prepared a kid of goats and an ephah of flour of unleavened bread the meat he put in the basket and the broth he put in the pot and he brought [them] out to him to under the oak and he brought [them] near.

20 Malaikat TUHAN itu berkata, "Letakkan daging dan roti itu di atas batu ini lalu tuanglah kuah daging itu ke atasnya." Gideon melakukan apa yang diperintahkan kepadanya.

And he said to him [the] angel of God take the meat and the unleavened bread and set [them] to the rock this and the broth pour out and he did so.

21 Kemudian malaikat TUHAN itu mengulurkan tangannya lalu dengan ujung kayu yang sedang dipegangnya ia menyentuh daging dan roti itu. Batu itu menyala lalu habislah terbakar daging dan roti itu. Kemudian lenyaplah malaikat itu.

And he stretched out [the] angel of Yahweh [the] end of the staff which [was] in hand his and he touched the meat and the unleavened bread and it went up the fire from the rock and it consumed the meat and the unleavened bread and [the] angel of Yahweh he went from eyes his.

22 Gideon menyadari bahwa yang telah datang kepadanya itu adalah malaikat TUHAN sendiri. Maka dengan takut berkatalah Gideon, "Celakalah saya, ya TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi! Sebab saya telah berhadapan muka dengan malaikat-Mu!"

And he saw Gideon that [was] [the] angel of Yahweh it. And he said Gideon alas! O Lord Yahweh for since I have seen [the] angel of Yahweh face to face.

23 Tetapi TUHAN berkata kepadanya, "Tenanglah! Jangan takut. Engkau tidak akan mati."

And he said to him Yahweh peace [be] to you may not you be afraid not you will die.

24 Lalu Gideon membangun sebuah mezbah di sana dan menamakannya "TUHAN Sumber Sejahtera". Mezbah itu masih ada di Ofra, yaitu kota orang Abiezer.

And he built there Gideon an altar to Yahweh and he called it Yahweh [is] peace until the day this still it [is] in Ophrah of [the] Abi-ezrite[s].

25 Pada malam itu TUHAN memberi perintah ini kepada Gideon, "Ambillah sapi jantan ayahmu, yaitu sapi yang terbaik yang berumur tujuh tahun. Bongkarlah mezbah yang didirikan ayahmu untuk Baal, lalu robohkanlah tiang perlambang Dewi Asyera yang di sebelah mezbah itu.

And it was in the night that and he said to him Yahweh take [the] young bull of the ox which [belongs] to father your and [the] young bull the second seven years and you will tear down [the] altar of Baal which [belongs] to father your and the Asherah pole which [is] at it you will cut down.

26 Dirikanlah di atas tumpukan itu sebuah mezbah yang telah dirancang dengan baik. Kemudian sapi jantan itu seluruhnya, harus kaubakar utuh sebagai kurban untuk TUHAN. Pakailah tiang perlambang Dewi Asyera yang telah kaurobohkan itu sebagai kayu bakarnya."

And you will build an altar to Yahweh God your on [the] top of the place of refuge this in the row and you will take the young bull second and you will offer up a burnt offering with [the] wood of the Asherah pole which you will cut down.

27 Maka Gideon memilih sepuluh orang hambanya lalu pergi melaksanakan apa yang diperintahkan TUHAN kepadanya. Tetapi karena ia terlalu takut kepada keluarganya dan kepada orang-orang di desanya itu, ia tidak berani melakukan hal itu siang-siang. Jadi ia melakukannya pada waktu malam.

And he took Gideon ten men from servants his and he did just as he had spoken to him Yahweh and it was since he feared [the] household of father his and [the] men of the city from acting by day and he acted night.

28 Ketika penduduk kota itu bangun keesokan paginya, mereka melihat mezbah untuk Baal dan tiang perlambang Dewi Asyera sudah roboh. Mereka melihat juga bahwa di tempat itu telah dibangun sebuah mezbah dan telah pula dibakar sapi jantan sebagai kurban.

And they rose early [the] men of the city in the morning and there! it was torn down [the] altar of Baal and the Asherah pole which [was] at it it was cut down and the young bull second it had been offered up on the altar which had been built.

29 Bertanyalah mereka seorang kepada yang lain, "Perbuatan siapakah ini?" Setelah diselidiki, mereka mendapati bahwa Gideon anak Yoaslah yang melakukannya.

And they said each to neighbor his who? has he done the thing this and they investigated and they searched and they said Gideon [the] son of Joash he has done the thing this.

30 Lalu kata mereka kepada Yoas, "Anakmu telah membongkar mezbah Baal dan merobohkan tiang perlambang Dewi Asyera yang di sebelah mezbah itu. Karena itu, bawalah anakmu itu keluar ke sini. Dia harus mati!"

And they said [the] men of the city to Joash bring out son your so may he die for he has torn down [the] altar of Baal and for he has cut down the Asherah pole which [was] at it.

31 Tetapi Yoas menjawab kepada semua penantangnya itu, "Apakah kalian berpihak kepada Baal dan mau membela dia? Siapa yang berpihak kepada dia, akan dibunuh hari ini! Kalau Baal memang Allah, biarlah ia sendiri membela dirinya, sebab yang dibongkar itu adalah mezbahnya."

And he said Joash to all [those] who they stood on him ¿ you - will you conduct a case! for Baal or? you will you deliver! him [the one] who he will conduct a case for him he will be put to death until the morning if [is] a god he let him conduct a case for himself if someone has torn down altar his.

32 Karena Yoas berkata, "Biar Baal sendiri melawan Gideon, sebab ia telah membongkar mezbahnya," maka semenjak itu orang menamakan Gideon "Yerubaal".

And someone called him on the day that Jerub-Baal saying let him conduct a case against him Baal for he has torn down altar his.

33 Pada waktu itu semua orang Midian, Amalek dan suku-suku bangsa lain di padang pasir sebelah timur Yordan telah berkumpul. Mereka menyeberangi Sungai Yordan, dan berkemah di Lembah Yizreel.

And all Midian and Amalek and [the] people of [the] east they gathered together and they passed over and they encamped in [the] valley of Jezreel.

34 Tetapi Gideon dikuasai oleh Roh TUHAN, sehingga ia meniup trompet untuk memanggil orang-orang kaum Abiezer supaya datang bergabung dengan dia.

And [the] spirit of Yahweh it clothed Gideon and he gave a blast on the ram's horn (and it was called together *L(abh)*) Abiezer after him.

35 Ia juga mengirim utusan kepada suku Asyer, Zebulon, Naftali dan suku Manasye--baik yang di sebelah timur maupun yang di sebelah barat Sungai Yordan, untuk minta mereka bergabung dengan dia. Maka mereka semua datang untuk membantu Gideon.

And messengers he sent in all Manasseh (and it was called together *L(abh)*) also it after him and messengers he sent in Asher and in Zebulun and in Naphtali and they went up to meet them.

36 Lalu Gideon berkata kepada Allah, "TUHAN, Engkau telah mengatakan bahwa Engkau mau memakai saya untuk membebaskan umat Israel.

And he said Gideon to God if there you [are] about to deliver by hand my Israel just as you have spoken.

37 Jika memang begitu, maka di atas tanah ini, tempat kami biasanya melepaskan gandum dari tangkainya telah saya letakkan guntingan bulu domba. Kalau besok hanya bulu domba ini saja yang dibasahi embun, dan tanahnya tidak, maka itulah buktinya bahwa Engkau akan memakai saya untuk membebaskan umat Israel."

Here! I [am] placing [the] fleece of wool on the threshing floor if dew it will be on the fleece to alone it and [will be] on all the ground dryness and I will know that you will deliver by hand my Israel just as you have spoken.

38 Maka terjadilah demikian: Ketika Gideon bangun keesokan paginya dan memeras bulu domba itu, ia mendapat air embun semangkuk.

And it was so and he rose early from [the] next day and he squeezed out the fleece and he drained dew from the fleece [the] fullness of the bowl water.

39 Lalu ia berkata kepada Allah, "Tuhan, janganlah kiranya marah kalau saya berbicara sekali lagi. Ijinkanlah saya membuat satu percobaan lagi dengan guntingan bulu domba ini. Tetapi kali ini hendaknya bulu domba ini saja yang tetap kering, sedangkan tanahnya menjadi basah."

And he said Gideon to God may not it burn anger your on me and let me speak only this time let me put to [the] test please only this time by the fleece let it be please dryness to the fleece to alone it and on all the ground let it be dew.

40 Malam itu Allah melakukan apa yang diminta Gideon itu, sehingga keesokan paginya bulu domba itu ternyata kering, tapi tanahnya telah basah karena embun.

And he did God so in the night that and it was dryness to the fleece to alone it and on all the ground it was dew.
