Jasi Vahere 6

1 Hagi 40'a kafuma evigeno'a ete Israeli vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamofo avurera havi zamavu'zamava hu'naze. E'ina hazageno'a Ra Anumzamo'a Midieni vahe zamazampi Israeli vahera zamavarentegeno, 7ni'a kafufi kegava huzmante'naze.

Again the Israelites did evil in the sight of the LORD; so He delivered them into the hand of Midian for seven years,

2 Ana'ma higeno'a Midieni vahe'mo'za hanavenentake hu'za Israeli vahera zamazeri havizantfa hazageno, Israeli vahe'mo'za agona agona franeki'za, havegampine, vihuma hunte'nazafine fraki'naze.

and the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel. Because of the Midianites, the Israelites prepared shelters for themselves in the mountains, caves, and strongholds.

3 Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'zama hozama antazageno'a, Midieni vahe'ma, Ameleki vahe'ma, zage hanati kazigati vahe'ma hu'za eme hara huzamante'naze.

Whenever the Israelites would plant their crops, the Midianites, Amalekites, and other people of the east would come up and invade them,

4 Ana mopafi seli nona eme ki'za mani'ne'za maka hozazimia agu'za ru'za vu'za Gaza mopare ome atre'naze. Magore hu'za Israeli vahe'mofo zana otre'za maka sipisipi afu'ma, meme afu'ma, bulimakao afu'ma, Donki afutaminena avre vagare'za vu'naze.

encamping against them as far as Gaza and destroying the produce of the land. They left Israel with no sustenance, neither sheep nor oxen nor donkeys.

5 Hagi ana ha' vahetmima e'nazana, maka afu'krazmine seli nona eme ki'za mani'ne'za Israeli vahe hoza otre'za ne'za eri hana hu'naze. Kenumo'za hare'za azankna hu'za ohampriga'a vahe'mo'za Israeli vahe mopafina emanine'za maka tra'zana vatri'za nevagarazageno rampa'age hu'ne.

For the Midianites came with their livestock and their tents like a great swarm of locusts. They and their camels were innumerable, and they entered the land to ravage it.

6 E'ina hu'za Israeli vahera zamazeri haviza hazage'za, Israeli vahe'mo'za tusi zamagaku nehu'za zamazama hinogura Ra Anumzamofontega zavi krafage hu'naze.

Israel was greatly impoverished by Midian, and the Israelites cried out to the LORD.

7 Hagi Midieni vahe'mo'zama zamazeri havizama hazageno'a Israeli vahe'mo'za zamazama hanigura Ra Anumzamofontega krafagea hazageno,

Now when the Israelites cried out to the LORD because of Midian,

8 Ra Anumzamo'a kasanampa ne' huntegeno Israeli vahetega eno amanage eme hu'ne, Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamo'a amanage hie, Isipima kazokzo eri'zama e'nerita mani'nazage'na, Nagra ana kazokzo erizampintira tamavre'na atirami'noe.

He sent them a prophet, who told them, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: I brought you up out of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.

9 Isipi vahe'mofo zamazampinti'ene knama tamiza tamazeri havizama nehaza vahe'mokizmi zamazampintira Nagra tamagura vazi'na tamavre'na e'na ama mopafima mani'naza ha' vahetimia eme zamahe kasopenetre'na, ama mopa eri tami'noe.

I delivered you out of the hands of Egypt and all your oppressors. I drove them out before you and gave you their land.

10 Hagi amanage hu'na neramasamue, Nagra Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumza mani'noanki, ama mani'naza mopafi Amori vahe anumzantaminkura korora osiho hu'na hu'noanagi, Nagri kea ontahita ke'ni'a rutagre'naze huno hu'ne.

And I said to you: ‘I am the LORD your God. You must not fear the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell.’ But you did not obey Me.”

11 Anante Ra Anumzamofo ankeromo'a eno, Ofra kumate oki zafa agafare emani'ne. Hagi Abiezeri nagapinti ne' Joasi nemofo Gidioni'a Midieni vahe'mo'zama witi'ama erizanku koro huno wainima regatati'ma nehaza kerifi mani'neno, witi hona'a refuzafupe'ne.

Then the angel of the LORD came and sat down under the oak in Ophrah that belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, where his son Gideon was threshing wheat in a winepress to hide it from the Midianites.

12 Ra Anumzamofo ankeromo'a Gidioninte ehanatino amanage hu'ne. Hankavenentake sondia nera, Ra Anumzamo'a kagri'ene mani'ne.

And the angel of the LORD appeared to Gideon and said, “The LORD is with you, O mighty man of valor.”

13 Anante Gidioni'a kenona huno, ramoke, Ra Anumzamo'ma tagranema mani'negeno'a nahigeno amanahu zana tagritera efore nehie? Hagi Ra Anumzamo'ma erifore hige'za tagehe'zama tasami'naza kaguva zana iga me'ne? Isipitira Ra Anumzamo'a tavreno e'neanangi, menina Ra Anumzamo'a avresra huranteno Midieni vahe zamazampintira tavrente'ne.

“Please, my Lord,” Gideon replied, “if the LORD is with us, why has all this happened to us? And where are all His wonders of which our fathers told us, saying, ‘Has not the LORD brought us up out of Egypt?’ But now the LORD has forsaken us and delivered us into the hand of Midian.”

14 Anante Ra Anumzamo'a rukrahe huno amanage huno asami'ne, Midieni vahe zamazampintira hankavema eri'nana hankavenu ome ha' hunka Israeli vahera zamagu'vaziogu Nagra hunegantoe.

The LORD turned to him and said, “Go in the strength you have and save Israel from the hand of Midian. Am I not sending you?”

15 Hianagi Gidioni'a amanage huno kenona hu'ne, Ra Anumzamoka, inankna hu'na Israeli vahera zamagura vazigahue? Manase naga'nofipina nagri nagara zamigi omane naga'manizageno, nenfa mofavreramimpina nagra amite'na mofavre mani'noe.

“Please, my Lord,” Gideon replied, “how can I save Israel? Indeed, my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the youngest in my father’s house.”

16 Higeno Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno asami'ne, Nagra kagrane mani'nenugenka, Midieni vahera magoke vahe'ma aheaza hunka zamahehana hugahane.

“Surely I will be with you,” the LORD replied, “and you will strike down all the Midianites as one man.”

17 Anagema higeno'a Gidioni'a amanage huno Ra Anumzamofona kenona hunte'ne, Nagra kagri kavurema knare'ma hu'nenugenka tamage hunka nazama hunaku'ma hanunka, mago avame'za naveri huge'na tamage Ra Anumzamoka nehane hu'na ha'neno.

Gideon answered, “If I have found favor in Your sight, give me a sign that it is You speaking with me.

18 Muse hugantoanki natrenka ovunege'na ofani'a eri'na eme kami'neno, higeno Ra Anumzamo'a huno, ama anante mani'nenugenka etesanke'na vugahuanki vuo.

Please do not depart from this place until I return to You. Let me bring my offering and set it before You.” And the LORD said, “I will stay until you return.”

19 Anage'ma higeno'a Gidioni'a ame'ama huno nontega vuno, agaho meme afu ome aheno negreno, zisti onte bretine kre'ne. Hagi ana meme afu'ene zisti onte bretinena ekaeka kupi erinerino afu'ma kre'nea tima'a kavofi tagino e'nerino eazamo ra zafamofo agafafi ana ankeromofo avuga eme ante'ne.

So Gideon went in and prepared a young goat and unleavened bread and an ephah of flour. He placed the meat in a basket and the broth in a pot and brought them out to present to Him under the oak.

20 Hagi anante Ra Anumzamofo ankeromo'a anage huno asmi'ne, Amu ana afu'ene zisti onte bretinena erinka have agofetu ante'nenka afu tima'a ana agofetu tagitro, higeno Gidioni'a ana hu'ne.

And the angel of God said to him, “Take the meat and the unleavened bread, lay them on this rock, and pour out the broth.” And Gideon did so.

21 Anante Ra Anumzamofo ankeromo'a azampima eri'nea azotareti ana afu'ene bretinena avako higeno, ana havefintira teve rukru huno ana maka ne'zana tefanane hu'ne. Ana higeno ana ankeromo'a agranena rufanane hu'ne.

Then the angel of the LORD extended the tip of the staff that was in his hand and touched the meat and the unleavened bread. And fire flared from the rock and consumed the meat and the unleavened bread. Then the angel of the LORD vanished from his sight.

22 Hagi Gidioni'ma Ra Anumzamofo ankerone huno keno antahinoma nehuno'a, amanage huno ran ke hu'ne, Ra Anumzamoka nagra frigahue! Na'ankure Ra Anumzamoka ankero ke'noe.

When Gideon realized that it was the angel of the LORD, he said, “Oh no, Lord GOD! I have seen the angel of the LORD face to face!”

23 Hianagi Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno asmi'ne, ofrigosananki korora osunka krimpa frune akohenka manio.

But the LORD said to him, “Peace be with you. Do not be afraid, for you will not die.”

24 Anage higeno Gidioni'a anante kresramna vu ita tro huno agi'a Ra Anumzana Rimpa Fru Nere (Yawe-Shalom) huno ante'ne. Hagi ana kresramna vu ita Abiesa nagamofo mopafi Ofra kumate menina otino me'ne.

So Gideon built an altar to the LORD there and called it The LORD Is Peace. To this day it stands in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.

25 Hagi ana kenagera Ra Anumzamo'a Gidionina amanage huno asmi'ne, Negafa bulimakao afu kevufintira mago nevrenka namba 2 bulimakao afu'ma avre'nanana 7ni'a kafu hu'nesia afu avro. Hagi negafa'ma Bali havi anumzante'ma kresramna vunte itama tro'ma hunte'neana tapage hunetrenka, Asera havi anumzamofo amema'ama zafama antre'za ana tava'onte'ma retru re'nazana antaginka kitaginkotago hutro.

On that very night the LORD said to Gideon, “Take your father’s young bull and a second bull seven years old, tear down your father’s altar to Baal, and cut down the Asherah pole beside it.

26 Hagi Ra Anumzamofo kresramna vu ita haverera tro hutenka, ana Asera havi anumzama retrure'ne'za mono'ma hunentaza zafama antaginkama kitagi'nana zafareti ana kresramna vu itare tevea hanavazinka, namba 2 bulimakao afura ahenka, tevefima kre fananehu ofa hugahane.

Then build a proper altar to the LORD your God on the top of this stronghold. And with the wood of the Asherah pole you cut down, take the second bull and offer it as a burnt offering.”

27 Anage higeno Gidioni'a 10ni'a eri'za vahe'a nezamavreno Ra Anumzmo'ma asamiaza hu'ne. Hianagi nefa nagaku'ene ana kumapima nemaniza vaheku koro nehuno ferura anazana osu'neanki, kenage ana zana tro hu'ne.

So Gideon took ten of his servants and did as the LORD had told him. But because he was too afraid of his father’s household and the men of the city, he did it by night rather than in the daytime.

28 Hagi ana'ma hutegeno'a ana kumapi ma nanterama oti'zama kazana, Bali havi anumzante'ma kresramnama nevaza ita taganavazi netreno, Asera havi anumzamofo ame'ma'a zafare'ma tro hu'za retrurente'nezama mono'ma hunentaza zafaramina maka antagi atrevaga nere'za kasefa kresramna vu ita trohu'za namba 2 bulimakao afura kresramna vu'nazage'za ke'naze.

When the men of the city got up in the morning, there was Baal’s altar torn down, with the Asherah pole cut down beside it and the second bull offered up on the newly built altar.

29 Anazama nege'za ana vahe'mo'za ontahige antahige hu'za, i'za ama zana tro hu'ne? hu'za hu'naze. Hagi henkama rezagane so'e hu'za hake'za erifore'ma hazana, Joasi nemofo Gidioni anara hu'ne, hu'za hu'naze.

“Who did this?” they said to one another. And after they had investigated thoroughly, they were told, “Gideon son of Joash did it.”

30 Anante ana kumapima nemaniza vahe'mo'za amanage hu'za Joasina asami'naze, Negamofona avrenka egeta ahamanenkeno frino. Na'ankure agra Bali anumzante'ma kresramna nevuna ita tagnavazi netreno, Asera anumzante'ma mono'ma hunentona zafa antagi tre'ne.

Then the men of the city said to Joash, “Bring out your son. He must die, because he has torn down Baal’s altar and cut down the Asherah pole beside it.”

31 Hianagi Joasi'a ranke huno ana vahetmina amanage huno zamazerikori'ne, Nagafare Bali havi anumzana ahora nekaze? Bali havi anumza aza hu'za nehazo? Bali havi anumzama ahomake'naza vahera nanterama komatinigeta fri vagaregahaze. Hagi agra anumzama mani'nenuno'a, agra'a ahora kegahie. Na'ankure agrite'ma kresramnama nevaza ita tagana vazitre'naze.

But Joash said to all who stood against him, “Are you contending for Baal? Are you trying to save him? Whoever pleads his case will be put to death by morning! If Baal is a god, let him contend for himself with the one who has torn down his altar.”

32 E'ina hige'za ana knazupa Gidioni agi'a Jerub-bali'e hu'za antemi'naze. Hagi ana agimofo aguagesa'amo'a amana hu'ne, atregeno Bali anumzamo'a agra'a ahora keno, na'ankure agri Kresramana vu ita tagana vazitre'ne.

So on that day Gideon was called Jerubbaal, that is to say, “Let Baal contend with him,” because he had torn down Baal’s altar.

33 Hagi Midieni vahe'ma, Ameleki vahe'ma zagehanati kazigati vahe'ma hu'za, Israeli vahe ha'huzamante'naku erimago hute'za Jodani tina takahe'za Jezril agupofi seli nona eme ki'naze.

Then all the Midianites, Amalekites, and other people of the east gathered together, crossed over the Jordan, and camped in the Valley of Jezreel.

34 Hianagi Ra Anumzamofo Avamu'mo Gidionintera emani'negeno ufena rege'za, Abieseli naga'mo'za hate avaririza vu'naku e'naze.

So the Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon, who blew the ram’s horn and rallied the Abiezrites behind him.

35 Hagi Manasema, Aserima, Zebulonima, Naftali nagateganena kea atrezamantage'za ana makamo'za ha'ma huga vahetamina agritega emareri'naze.

Calling them to arms, Gideon sent messengers throughout Manasseh, as well as Asher, Zebulun, and Naphtali, so that they came up to meet him.

36 Hagi anante Gidioni'a amanage huno Ra Anumzamofona asami'ne, Kagrama huhamprinante'nana kante'ma tamage hunka nagri'ma naza hanankena ha'ma hu'na Israeli vahe'ma zamaguvazinaku'ma hanugenka,

Then Gideon said to God, “If You are going to save Israel by my hand, as You have said,

37 amana huge'na ka'neno. Meni kenagera witima neharaza kumapina sipisipi afu azokara antegahue. Hanki tamage hunkama naza hananke'na ha'ma hu'na Israeli vahe'ma zamagu'vazinaku hanugenka, ana sipisipi afu azokatera atregeno atara runentena, mopamo'a hagege hu'nena ka'neno. Nanterama ke'nuama sipisipi afu azokate'ma ata'ma ahenenigeno mopamo'ma hagagema hunenige'na, huhamprinante'nana kante antenka naza hunka Israeli vahera zamagu vazigahane hu'na antahi'neno.

then behold, I will place a fleece of wool on the threshing floor. If there is dew only on the fleece and all the ground is dry, then I will know that You are going to save Israel by my hand, as You have said.”

38 Hagi Gidioni'ma nanterama otino ome keana anaza fore hu'negeno ke'ne. Ana Sipisipi afu azokara omerino tatiana, timo'a mago zuompa avite'ne.

And that is what happened. When Gideon arose the next morning, he squeezed the fleece and wrung out the dew—a bowlful of water.

39 Anante Gidioni'a Anumzamofona amanage huno asami'ne, Mago'ene kantahige'za huanki krimpa aheonanto. Ete ama ana sipisipi afu azokara ome antegahuanki, mopafinke ata kora runentenkeno, sipisipi afu azokatera ruontenke'na ka'neno.

Then Gideon said to God, “Do not be angry with me; let me speak one more time. Please allow me one more test with the fleece. This time let it be dry, and the ground covered with dew.”

40 Anage higeno Ra Anumzamo'a ana kenagera higeno mopafina ata kora runte'ne. Hianagi ana sipisipi afu azokamo'a hagage huno me'ne.

And that night God did so. Only the fleece was dry, and dew covered the ground.
