Jasi Vahere 8

1 Anante Efraemi naga'mo'za Gidionina amanage hu'za antahige'naze, Nagafare amanahu kavukavara hurantane? Nahigenka esera hurantanketa Midieni vahe'enena hara ome osu'none? hu'za Gidioni'enena tusi fravazi'naze.

And the men of Ephraim came and said to him, Why did you not send for us when you went to war against Midian? And they said sharp and angry words to him.

2 Hianagi Gidioni'a amanage huno kenona huzmante'ne, Tamagrama hu'naza zama negeta, nagrama hu'noa zama kesazana, nagra naza hu'nofi keho? Efraemi naga'mo'zama krepi ragama otre'zama tagi vagarezamo knarera hu'nefi? Abiesa naga'mo'zama ontagi hozafinti ana maka krepi ragama tagi vagare'zamo knarera hu'neo?

And he said to them, What have I done in comparison with you? Is not that which Ephraim took up after the grape-cutting better than all the grapes which Abiezer got in from the grape-cutting?

3 Anumzamo'a Midieni sondia kva netrena Orebine Zebanena tamazampi zanavrentegeta zanahe'naze. Nagra tamagrama hazazana osu'noe. Anagema hige'za frama vazinentazaretira kea tagane'naze.

God has given into your hands the chiefs of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb; what have I been able to do in comparison with you? And when he said this, their feeling about him became kinder.

4 Hagi Gidioni'ene 300'a vahe'mo'zanena Jodani tina takahe'za zamasafera nehianagi, ha' vahezmia zamarotago hu'naze.

Then Gideon came to Jordan and went over it with his three hundred, overcome with weariness and in need of food.

5 Hagi Sukoti kumate'ma ne-eno'a Gidioni'a amanage huno ana kumate kva vahetmina zamantahige'ne. Muse huramantoanki, Nagri'enema aza vahetamina bretia zaminke'za neho. Na'ankure zamagra tusi zamasafeku nehu'za, nagranena neazage'na nagra Midieni kini netre Zebane Zalmunakizni zanaratago hu'na neoe.

And he said to the men of Succoth, Give bread cakes to my people, for they are overcome with weariness, and I am going on after Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian.

6 Hianagi Sukoti kumate kva vahe'mo'za amanage hu'za kenona asmi'naze, Zebane Zalmunanema zanazeritesanketa sondia vaheka'a ne'zana zamigahune.

But the chiefs of Succoth said, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna even now in your hand that we are to give bread to your army?

7 Ana kema hazageno'a Gidioni'a anage hu'ne, Ra Anumzamo'ma Zebane Zalmunanema nazampi'ma znavrentenama zanahesu'na, ka'ma kopima nemanea ave'ave nofinu, sefura eme tami'na tamavufa eri hazrohazru hugahue.

Then Gideon said, Because of this, when the Lord has given Zebah and Zalmunna into my hands, I will have you stretched on a bed of thorns of the waste land and on sharp stems, and have you crushed as grain is crushed on a grain-floor.

8 Hagi anantetira Penieli kumate marerino vuno ana hukna kege ana kumapi vahete ome hu'ne. Hianagi Sukoti kumate vahe'mo'zama hu'nazankna ke hu'naze.

So he went up from there to Penuel and made the same request to the men of Penuel; but they gave him the same answer as the men of Succoth had given.

9 Hagi anagema hazageno'a Gidioni'a Penieli kumate vahera amanage huno zamasami'ne, nagrama ha'ma ome huzamagaterete'na esu'na, ama za'za nona eme tapage hutregahue.

So he said to the men of Penuel, When I come back in peace, I will have this tower broken down.

10 Hagi Seba'ene Zalmunakea 15 tauseni'a sondia vahe'ene Karkori kumapi ufre'naze. Hagi eri mago'ma hu'naza sondia vahe'ma zamahe hanama hige'zama mani'nazama'e. Na'ankure 120 tauseni'a kazinteti'ma ha'ma nehaza vahera ko zamahe 'naze.

Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor and their armies with them, about fifteen thousand men, those of all the army of the children of the east who were still living; for a hundred and twenty thousand of their swordsmen had been put to death.

11 Hagi Gidioni'a marerino Nobane Jokbeha kumatrema me'nea kantega rugagino Midieni sondia vahe'mo'za ha' vahera omegahaze hu'za ontahi'za mani'nazageno, antri hazaza huno hara ome huzamante'ne.

And Gideon went up by the way used by the people living in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and made an attack on the army when they had no thought of danger.

12 Hagi anama higeno'a, Midieni kini netre Zeba'ene Zalmunakea freke vakeno, Gidioni'a zanarotago huno ome zanazerigeno, ana kini netremofo sondia vahe'mo'za tusi zamagogogu hu'naze.

And Zebah and Zalmunna went in flight; and he went after them, and took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and put all the army to the curse.

13 Hagi Joasi nemofo Gidionima ha'ma huvagareteno'a ana kumara atreno, Heresi agonama me'neregama e'nea kamofo avaririno e'ne.

Then Gideon, the son of Joash, went back from the fight:

14 E'inama huno ne-eno'a mago Sukoti kumate nehaza ne' eme azerino antahigegeno, Sukoti kumate mani'naza kva vahetmina 77ni'a kva vahe'mofo zamagia Gidionina kremi'ne.

And taking prisoner a young man of the people of Succoth, he got from him, in answer to his questions, a list of the chiefs of Succoth and the responsible men, seventy-seven men.

15 Ana'ma higeno'a Gidioni'a Sukoti kumate eno amanage huno kva vahetmina eme zamasami'ne, Keho, Zebane Zalmunanena ama zanazeri'na oe, amare'ma enevu'na sondia vahe'ni'a breti zaminke'za neho hu'nama nehugeta, nazanavanke huta Zebane Zalbunane kazampima zanazerite'nanketa henka sondia vaheka'a bretia zamigahune hu'naze.

So he came to the men of Succoth and said, Here are Zebah and Zalmunna, on account of whom you made sport of me, saying, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna even now in your hand, that we are to give bread to your army who are overcome with weariness?

16 Hagi Gidioni'ma anagema nehuno'a, ka'ma kopima me'nea ave'ave nofitami erino ana kumate kva vahetamina anagema hu'naza zantera sefu zami'ne.

Then he took the responsible men of the town and had them crushed on a bed of thorns and sharp stems.

17 Ana nehuno Peniel kumate mani'ne'zama kuma'ma kegava nehaza za'za nozmia taganavazinetreno ana rankumapi vahera zamahe fri vagare'ne.

And he had the tower of Penuel broken down and the men of the town put to death.

18 Ana huteno Gidioni'a Zebane Zalbunakiznia zanantahigeno, Tabor kumate'ma zamahe'na'a vahetmina, inankna vahe zamahe'na'e? Huno zanantahigegeke amanage hu'na'e, Kagri kavugosagna vahe zamahe'no'e. Ana maka'mo'za kini ne'mofo nemofo avugosagna hu'naze.

Then he said to Zebah and Zalmunna, Where are the men whom you put to death at Tabor? And they gave answer, As you are, so were they; every one of them was like a king's son.

19 Anagema hakeno'a anante Gidioni'a amanage hu'ne, E'i nagri nenarera mofavrerami zamahe'na'e. Tamage mani'nea Ra Anumzamofo avufima tanasamisuana, tanagrama ana nafuhe'ima ozamahena'asina menina tanagrira ontanahosine.

And he said, They were my brothers, my mother's sons: by the life of the Lord, if you had kept them safe, I would not put you to death.

20 Anage nehuno zage mofavre'a Jetarinkura huno, otinka zanahegeke fri'o! Hianagi ana nehazamo'a otinora ozanahe'ne. Na'ankure agra osi mofavregino, koro hu'ne.

Then he said to Jether, his oldest son, Up! Put them to death. But the boy did not take out his sword, fearing because he was still a boy.

21 Anage higeno Zeba'ene Zalmunakea amanage huke Gidionina asmi'na'e, Vema mani'nesunka kagraka'a otinka tahe frio. Anagema hakeno'a, Gidioni'a otino ana netrena zanahe nefrino, kemolizinimofo zananankente'ma hu'znante'na'a avasase'zana eri'ne.

Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, Up! Put an end to us yourself: for you have a man's strength. Then Gideon got up and put Zebah and Zalmunna to death and took the ornaments which were on their camels' necks.

22 Anama higeno'a Israeli vahe'mo'za amanage hu'za Gidioninkura hu'naze, Kagrane, negamofo'ene negageho'enena kvati mani'neta kegava huranteho. Na'ankure kagra Midieni vahe zamazampinti tagu'vazi'ne.

Then the men of Israel said to Gideon, Be our ruler, you and your son and your son's son after him; for you have been our saviour from the hands of Midian.

23 Hianagi Gidioni'a amanage huno kenona huzmante'ne, Nagra kvatimia mani'nena kegava huoramantegosue. Ana hukna hu'za mofavrenimo'za kvatimia mani'ne'za kegava huoramantegahaze. Hagi Ra Anumzamoke kvatimia mani'neno kegava huramantegahie.

But Gideon said to them, I will not be a ruler over you, and my son will not be a ruler over you: it is the Lord who will be ruler over you.

24 Hianagi magoke zanku tamantahigegahue. Ha' vahe'mo'zama zamagesafima renentaza golire rinima zamaheta eri'nazana mago magomota namitere hiho. Na'ankure zamagra Ismaeli nagaki'za zamagesafi golire rini rente vahe mani'nazageno hu'ne.

Then Gideon said to them, I have a request to make to you; let every man give me the ear-rings he has taken. (For they had gold ear-rings, because they were Ishmaelites.)

25 Anagema higeno'a, amanage hu'za kenona hunte'naze. Amane tagra kamigahune, hu'za nehu'za nakre ku eri'za tafera nehu'za, korire riniramina ana makamo'za eme atre'naze.

And they gave answer, We will gladly give them. So they put down a robe, every man dropping into it the ear-rings he had taken.

26 Hagi ana golire rinima eritruma hazageno'a kna'amo'a 25'a kilo hu'ne. Hagi e'i ana zankera eritru osu'nazanki, pasesuma, agesafi avasesezama, Midieni kini vahe'mo'ma nevasia fitunke za'za kukenama, kemorimofo zmanankempima hunentaza avasase zanena anampinke emeritru hu'naze.

The weight of the gold ear-rings which he got from them was one thousand, seven hundred shekels of gold; in addition to the moon-ornaments and jewels and the purple robes which were on the kings of Midian, and the chains on their camels' necks.

27 Hagi Gidioni'a ana koria erino rankuma'are Ofra viazamo pristi vahe'mo'zama zamimizare'ma nentaniza avasese'za ome tro huntenegeno, monko a'nemo'za hazaza hu'za Israeli vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamofona zamage'na hunemi'za, ana zante agafa hu'za monora hunte'naze. Gidionine naga'amofontera anazamo'a mago krifugna huno zamazeri'ne.

And Gideon made an ephod from them and put it up in his town Ophrah; and all Israel went after it there and were false to the Lord; and it became a cause of sin to Gideon and his house.

28 Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za Midieni vahera zamahe'za zamazeri havizanfta hazageno, mago'anena hara eme huozmante'naze. E'ina hazageno Gidioni'ma kvama mani'nea knafina Israeli vahe'mo'za 40'a kafua hara osu amne fru hu'za mani'naze.

So Midian was broken before the children of Israel and the Midianites never got back their strength. And the land had peace for forty years, in the days of Gideon.

29 Hagi Joasi nemofo Gidioni'a ete kuma'arega vu'ne.

And Jerubbaal, the son of Joash, went back to his house and was living there.

30 Hagi Gidioni'a rama'a a'nane zmante'negu 70'a ne'mofavrerami zamante'ne.

Gideon had seventy sons, the offspring of his body; for he had a number of wives.

31 Hagi Sekemu kumate nemania a'amo'a ne'mofavre antegeno, agi'a Abimeleki'e huno ante'ne.

And the servant-wife he had in Shechem had a son by him, to whom he gave the name Abimelech.

32 Hagi Joasi nemofo Gidioni'a ozafa omereno frigeno, nefa Joasima asente'naza matipi Abiesa naga nofimofo mopafi Ofra kumate asente'naze.

And Gideon, the son of Joash, came to his end when he was very old, and his body was put in the resting-place of Joash his father, in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.

33 Hagi Gidioni'ma fritege'za, Israeli vahe'mo'za ete mago'ane Ra Anumzamofona zamefi hunemiza Bal-Beriti havi anumza tro hunente'za, Bali havi anumzante monora hunte'naze.

And after the death of Gideon, the children of Israel again went after the gods of Canaan and were false to the Lord, and made Baal-berith their god.

34 Ana nehu'za Israeli vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzana zamagri Anumzamo'ma ha' vahezimimo'za mika kampinti e'za ha'ma eme hunezmantegeno zamagu'ma vazi'nea Ra Anumzana zamage akaninte'naze.

And the children of Israel did not keep in their minds the Lord their God, who had been their saviour from all their haters on every side;

35 Hanki Gidioni'ma knare'zama huzamante'nea zankura Israeli vahe'mo'za agri naga'mofona humusenkea hu'za susu huozamante'naze.

And they were not kind to the house of Jerubbaal, that is, Gideon, in reward for all the good he had done to Israel.
