Jasi Vahere 7
1 Hagi anante Jerubali'ene (Gidioni mago agi'e) sondia vahe'anena nanterame oti'za Harodi tinkenafi seli nona ome ki'naze. Hagi Midieni sondia vahe'mo'za noti kaziga, Morea agonamofo agafima me'nea agupofi seli nona ome ki'naze.
The next morning, Gideon and his men got up early and went as far as Harod Spring. The army of Midian was camped north of them, in the valley near Moreh Hill.
2 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a Gidioninkura amanage huno asami'ne, Tamatre'nugeta rama'a sondia vahe'mota Midieni vahera hara huozamantegahaze. Ana maka'motama ha'ma hanazana, Israeli vahe'mo'za tagra hankavere Midieni vahera zamaheta taguravazune hu'za zamavufa ra hugahaze.
Yahweh said to Gideon, “You have too many soldiers with you. If I allow all of you to fight the army of Midian, [if your army defeats them], they will boast to me that they defeated their enemies by themselves, [without my help].
3 E'ina hu'negu menina huama hunka mika vahera zamasamio, izago koroma hunka kahirahima resimoka, Giliati agona atrenka nontega vuo hunka huzamanto. E'inage higeno 22 tauseni'a vahe'mo'za atre'za nontega vazageno, 10 tauseni'age mani'naze.
So tell the men, ‘Whoever among you is timid or afraid may leave us and go home.’” So [after Gideon told that to them], 22,000 of them went home. Only 10,000 men were left there.
4 Hianagi Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Gidionina asami'ne, Zahufa rama'a vahe kagri'enena mani'naze. Hagi ana maka zamavarenka timpi uramige'na rezamahe'na nege'na, e'i'a vahe vugahie hu'nama hanua vaheke vugahazanki, e'i'a vahera ovugahazema hanua vahe'mo'za kagri'enena ovugahaze.
But Yahweh told Gideon, “There are still too many men! Take them down to the spring, and there I will choose from among them, which ones will go with you and which ones will not go.”.
5 Anage higeno Gidioni'a ana maka sondia vahera zamavareno timpi uramigeno, Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Gidionina asami'ne, Kramo'ma nehiaza hu'zama zamazanteti'ma tima ankehi'za zamagefunareti'ma nesaza vahe kevua mago kaziga zamavarentenka, zamarena re'za pri'ma hu'za tima enevanifinti'ma nesaza vahera mago kaziga zamavarento.
When Gideon took the men down to the spring, Yahweh told him, “When they drink, put into one group the ones who scoop the water into their hands, and then lap it up like dogs do. Put into another group the ones who kneel down [and bend over] and drink with their mouths in the water.”
6 Hagi ana'ma higeno'a 300'age vahe'mo'zage zamazantetira tina ankehi'za kramo'ma nehiaza hu'za zamagefunaretira ne'naze. Hianagi ana maka vahe'mo'za zamarenare'za pri hu'za tima enevifinti ne'naze.
So when they drank, only 300 men drank from their hands. All the others drank with their mouths down in the water.
7 Hagi anante Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Gidionina asami'ne, Ama 300'a nagapi kaza hu'na Midieni vahera avre kazampi anta'nena hara hu zamagateregahane. Hanki mago'a vahera huzamantege'za nozmirega viho.
Then Yahweh told Gideon, “The 300 men who lapped the water from their hands will be your army! I will enable them to defeat the Midian army. Let all the others go home!”
8 Anagema higeno'a Gidioni'a ruga'a sondia vahe'mokizmi nanazantamine ufentaminena e'nerino huzmantege'za seli nozmirega nevazageno, 300'a vaheke zamavarege'za agri'enena vu'naze. Hagi Midieni vahe'mokizmi seli nonkumara fenkamu agupofi me'nege'za, Gidioni naga'mo'za anagamu emani'naze.
So Gideon’s 300 men collected the food and rams’ horns from all the other men, and then he sent them home. The men of Midian were camping in the valley below Gideon.
9 Hagi ana kenagera Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Gidionina asami'ne, Otinka Midieni vahe seli nonkumapi uraminka hara ome huzmanto! Na'ankure Nagra ko Midieni vahera kagri kazampi zamavarente'noe.
That night, Yahweh said to Gideon, “Get up and go down to their camp, [and you will hear something that will convince you that] I will enable your men to defeat them.
10 Hianagi fenamu anampima urami zanku'ma koro'ma hanunka, eri'za vaheka'a Pura'ene uraminka,
But if you are afraid to attack them by yourself, take your servant Purah with you.
11 na'aneoma hanazankea antahitenka e'ire hankavea erinka hara huzmantegahane. Anagema higeno'a Gidioni'a eri'za vahe'a Purana nevreno uramino ha' vahe'amo'za seli nonku'ma kiza mani'naza kuma atuparega vu'na'e.
Go down and listen to what some of the Midian soldiers are saying. Then you will be very encouraged, and you will be ready to attack their camp.” So Gideon took Purah with him, and they went down to the edge of the enemy camp.
12 Hagi Midieni sondia vaheki, Ameleki sondia vaheki, zage hanati kazigati sondia vaheki hu'za tusi kenutamimo agofetu agofetu huno mani'negeno hampriga osiakna hu'za ana vahe'mo'za ana agupofina emani avite'naze. Hagi tusi kemori afutami avre'za e'nazankino ana kemoli afutamimo'za hagerinkenafi kasepankna hu'za ana agupoa mani avite'naze.
The armies of the people of Midian and Amalek and from the east had set up their tents and looked like a swarm of locusts. It seemed that their camels were as impossible to count as the grains of sand on the seashore.
13 Hagi Gidioni'ma eramino'ma antahiana, mago ne'mo'a ava'na ke'nea nanekea rone'amofona amanage huno nesamigeno antahi'ne. Avana kogeno ana ava'nafina mago bali ragareti tro hu'nea bretimo'a zahe'zahe huno eramino seli nona eme rutagana'vazitregeno, ana nomo'a mopafi kriteno mase'nege'na ke'noe.
Gideon crept closer and heard one man telling a friend about a dream. He said, “I just had a dream, and in the dream I saw a round loaf of barley bread tumble down into our Midian camp. It struck a tent so hard that the tent turned upside down and collapsed!”
14 Ana ava'na kema nentahino'a rone'amo'a amanage hu'ne, e'i mago'a vahe enaku higenka ava'na onke'nananki, Israeli ne' Joasi nemofo Gidioni bainati kazinknomo enaku higenka kanankino, Anumzamo'a mika Midieni vahe'motane, tagri'ma eme tazama hanaza vahe'enena Gidioni azampi tavrente'ne.
His friend said, “Your dream can mean only one thing. It means that God will enable Gideon, the man of Israel, to defeat all of the armies that are here with us men from Midian.”
15 Hagi ana ava'na kene, ana ava'nama eri ama hianke'ma Gidioni'ma nentahino'a, Ra Anumzamofo avuga renareno mono hunte'ne. Ana huteno ete Israeli vahe seli nonkumatega vuno amanage huno ome kezatine, otiho! Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a ko Midieni sondia vahetamina tagri tazampi hago zamavarente'ne.
When Gideon heard the [man tell about his] dream and the meaning of that dream, he thanked God. Then he [and Purah] returned to the Israeli camp, and he shouted to the men, “Get up! Because God is enabling you to defeat the men from Midian!”
16 Hagi Gidioni'a ana 300'a vahera 3'afi refko huno magoke magoke vahera ufemare pazive'ene mopa kavofi tavira anteno zamitere hu'ne.
He divided his men into three groups. He gave each man a ram’s horn and an empty clay jar. He also gave each of them a torch [that they lit].
17 Ana huteno amanage huno zamasami'ne, Tamavua nagrite keteta mani'nenke'na, seli nonkumamofo atuparega e'nama na'anoma hanuazana ana zanke'za hiho.
Then he said to them, “Watch me. When we come close to the enemy camp, [spread out to surround the camp]. Then do exactly what I do.
18 Nagri'enema vanaza naga'ene ufema re'nunketa, seli non kuma'ma avazagi'gagi'naza vahe'mota ufena nereta amanage huta ke'zana atiho. Tagra Ra Anumzamofo vahe'ene Gidioni vahe mani'none huta hiho.
As soon as I and the men with me blow our ram’s horns, you men in the other two groups surrounding the camp blow your horns and shout, ‘[We are doing this] for Yahweh and for Gideon!’”
19 Hagi kenage amu'nona Midieni vahe seli nonkumate'ma kvama hu'naza sondia vahe'mo'za vazageno, kasefa vahe'ma eme zamazama hazageno'a, Gidioni'ene 100'a vahe'enena Midieni vahe seli nonku'ma atumparega e'naze. Anante antrihaza'za hu'za magoka ufena nere'za zamazampima eri'naza mopa kavoa rupraro vazi'naze.
A while before midnight, just after a new group of Israeli guards took the places of the previous group, Gideon and the 100 men with him arrived at the edge of the Midian camp. Suddenly they all blew their horns, and broke their jars.
20 Ana'ma hazage'za ana maka 3'a kevuma hu'za mani'naza vahe'mo'za, ana zanke hu'naze. Hoga'a zamazampina tavi azeneri'za, tamaga zamazampina ufema resaza pazive eri'ne'za amanage hu'za kezati'naze, Ra Anumzamofone Gidionigizni bainati kazinknone!
Then the men in all three groups blew their horns and smashed their jars. They held the torches high with their left hands, and held up the horns with their right hands and alternatively blew them and shouted, “[We have] swords [to fight] for Yahweh and for Gideon!”
21 Anagema hu'za ke'zama neti'za, oti'za manigagine'za nezmagage'za ana seli nonkumapima mase'naza Midieni vahe'mo'za oti'za tusi zamanogu nehu'za, krafage hu'za koro fre'naze.
Each of Gideon’s men stood in his position around the enemy camp. As they watched, all the Midian men started running around and shouting in a panic.
22 Hagi 300'a Israeli vahe'mo'zama ufema razageno'a Midieni vahe antahintahia Ra Anumzamo'a zamazeri savari hige'za, zamagra zamagra bainati kazinkno ha' hu'naze. Hagi ana ha'ma hazafima hazenkema e'ori'za sondia vahe'mo'za fre'za Bet-Sita kumate Zerera kaziga Abel-mehola mopa atumpare Tabati kuma tavaonte vu'naze.
While the 300 Israeli men kept blowing their horns, Yahweh caused their enemies to start fighting each other with their swords/daggers. Some of them killed each other. The rest fled. Some fled south to Beth-Shittah. Some fled to Zerarah [village], near Tabbath.
23 Hagi Gidioni'a Israeli vahepintira Naftali naga'ma, Aseli naga'ma, Manase naga'ma huno kehige'za e'za emeri mago hute'za, Midieni vahera zamarotago hu'naze.
Then Gideon sent messages to the soldiers in the areas where the descendants of Naphtali, Asher, and Manasseh lived, to tell them to come and pursue the army of Midian.
24 Hagi Gidioni'a Efraemi naga'ma agona mopafima nemaniza naga'enenkura amanage huno kea atrezmante'ne, eramita Midieni vahe'mo'zama Jodani timo'ma kahesama hu'nere'ma Bet-Bara kumate'ma taka nehazare eme zamavagta huta hara eme huzmanteho. Anagema higeno'a Efraemi naga'mo'za anama hiaza hu'naze.
He also sent messengers throughout the hilly area where the descendants of Ephraim lived, saying, “Come down to attack the army of Midian. Come down to the Jordan River, to the place where people can wade across, to prevent enemy troops from crossing it! Station men as far south as Beth-Barah.” So the men of Ephraim did what Gideon told them to do.
25 Hagi ana nehu'za tare Midieni kva netrena Orebine Zibi kizania zanazeri'za, Orebina Oreb havere ahenefriza, Zibina Zibi kumate wainima regatati'ma nehazafi ahefri'naze. Ana'ma hute'za Midieni vahera zamarotgo hazage'za nefrage'za ana netremokizni zanasenia eri'za Gidioni'ma mani'nerega Jodani tina takahe'za kantu kaziga vu'naze.
They also captured Oreb and Zeeb, the two generals of the Midian army. They killed Oreb at [the big rock which is now called] the rock of Oreb, and they killed Zeeb at [the place where people crush grapes that is now called] the winepress of Zeeb. Afterwards, the Israelis cut off the heads of Oreb and Zeeb and brought them to Gideon, while he was near the Jordan River.
