Mwet Nununku 6

1 Mwet Israel elos sifilpa orekma koluk ye mutun LEUM GOD, na LEUM GOD El eisalosyang nu inpoun mwet Midian ke lusen yac itkosr.

And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years.

2 Mwet Midian elos ku liki mwet Israel, ke ma inge mwet Israel elos wikwik in luf ku kutepacna acn elos ku in wikla we fineol uh.

And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel: and because of the Midianites the children of Israel made them the dens which are in the mountains, and caves, and strong holds.

3 Pacl nukewa ma mwet Israel inge ac yukwi sacn sunalos uh, mwet Midian ac mwet Amalek ac mwet ma muta yen mwesis uh elos ac tuku ac orek lokoalok nu selos.

And so it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east, even they came up against them;

4 Mwet inge ac tuku tulokinya lohm nuknuk selos uh in acn elos imai inge, ac kunausla ima ac sacn sunalos uh. Elos ac kunausla acn inge som na nwe eir apkuran nu Gaza. Elos ac oayapa sruok sheep, cow, ac donkey natulos, ac tia filiya kutena ma nu sin mwet Israel.

And they encamped against them, and destroyed the increase of the earth, till thou comest to Gaza, and left no sustenance for Israel, neither sheep, nor ox, nor donkey.

5 Ke mwet inge ac tuku wi ma orakrak natulos ac lohm nuknuk selos uh, elos arulana pus oana pusiyen locust uh. Mwet inge, weang camel natulos uh, elos arulana pusla, tia ku in oaoala. Elos ac fahsrot kunausla acn na lulap,

For they came up with their cattle and their tents, and they came as grasshoppers for multitude; for both they and their camels were without number: and they entered into the land to destroy it.

6 ac wangin ma mwet Israel ku in oru nu selos. Na mwet Israel elos wowoyak nu sin LEUM GOD tuh Elan kasrelos.

And Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites; and the children of Israel cried to the LORD.

7 Ke mwet Israel elos wowoyak nu sin LEUM GOD ke sripen mwet Midian inge,

And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried to the LORD because of the Midianites,

8 na LEUM GOD El ac supwama sie mwet palu nu yurin mwet Israel, ac el ac fahk nu selos, “LEUM GOD El fahk, Nga God lun Israel, su uskowosme liki sruoh lowos in acn Egypt.

That the LORD sent a prophet to the children of Israel, who said to them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you forth from the house of bondage;

9 Nga molikowosla liki mwet Egypt, oayapa liki mwet su lain kowos in facl se inge. Nga lusak mwet lokoalok lowos ye motowos ac eisla facl selos ac asot tuh in ma lowos.

And I delivered you from the hand of the Egyptians, and from the hand of all that oppressed you, and drove them out from before you, and gave you their land;

10 Nga tuh fahk nu suwos lah nga LEUM GOD lowos, ac kowos in tia alu nu sin god lun mwet Amor su kowos muta fin acn selos inge. Tuh pa kowos tiana porongeyu.”

And I said to you, I am the LORD your God; fear not the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but ye have not obeyed my voice.

11 Na sie lipufan lun LEUM GOD El tuku nu Ophrah ac muta ye sak oak soko sunal Joash, sie mwet in ota lal Abiezer. Gideon, wen natul, el wikla muta tuktuk wheat ke nien fut wain, mwet Midian inge in tia liyal.

And there came an angel of the LORD, and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained to Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites.

12 Na lipufan sac sikyang nu sel ac fahk, “LEUM GOD El wi kom. Kom sie mwet ku ac pulaik!”

And the angel of the LORD appeared to him, and said to him, The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valour.

13 Na Gideon el fahk nu sel, “Oasr sie ma nga kena siyuk sum. LEUM GOD El fin wi kut, efu ku ma inge sikyak ouinge nu sesr— Pia sruhk ma wowo mwet matu lasr meet ah tuh srumun nu sesr mu LEUM GOD El tuh oru wo nu selos ke El tuh usalosme liki acn Egypt ah— Pacl inge LEUM GOD El siskutla ac filikuti ye poun mwet Midian inge.”

And Gideon said to him, O my Lord, if the LORD is with us, why then hath all this befallen us? and where are all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt? but now the LORD hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.

14 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Gideon, “Fahsrot ke ku lom kewa, ac molela mwet Israel liki mwet Midian. Nga pa supwekom uh.”

And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee?

15 Ac Gideon el topuk ac fahk, “O LEUM GOD, nga ac molela Israel fuka— Ota luk uh pa munas emeet ke sruf lal Manasseh, ac nga pa pilasr emeet in sou luk uh.”

And he said to him, O my Lord, how shall I save Israel? behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house.

16 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel, “Kom ku in oru mweyen nga ac fah kasrekom. Kom ac fah itungya mwet Midian inge arulana fisrasr, oana in mwet sefanna.”

And the LORD said to him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man.

17 Ac Gideon el topuk, “Nga fin ohi sum, nga siyuk tuh kom in ase sie mwe akul in akpwayeye lah kom pa LEUM GOD.

And he said to him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, then show me a sign that thou talkest with me.

18 Nunak munas, nikmet som nwe ke nga use kutu mwe mongo nu sum.” Na lipufan sac fahk, “Nga ac mutana nwe ke kom foloko.”

Depart not from here, I pray thee, until I come to thee, and bring forth my present, and set it before thee. And he said, I will tarry until thou comest again.

19 Na Gideon el som nu in lohm sel ah, ac akmolyela nani fusr soko, ac el eis sie bushel in flao ac munanla bread wangin mwe pulol kac. El sang ikwa sac nu in fotoh se ac sup ah nu in tup se, ac use ma inge nu yurin lipufan lun LEUM GOD su muta ye sak oak soko ah, ac el sang nu sel tuh elan mongo.

And Gideon went in, and made ready a kid, and unleavened cakes of an ephah of flour: the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought it out to him under the oak, and presented it.

20 Ac lipufan sac fahk nu sel, “Filiya ikwa ac bread an fin eot se inge, ac okoaung sup an nu fac.” Gideon el oru oana.

And the angel of God said to him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them upon this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so.

21 Na lipufan lun LEUM GOD el asroela sak soko oan inpaol ah, ac pusralla ikwa ac bread inge ke mutun sak soko ah. Na e se sikyak ke eot sac twe esukak ikwa ac bread inge. Na lipufan sac wanginla.

Then the angel of the LORD put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and there rose fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes. Then the angel of the LORD departed from his sight.

22 Ke ma inge Gideon el akilen lah lipufan lun LEUM GOD pa el liye ah. Na Gideon el sangeng ac fahk, “O LEUM GOD Fulat, nga liye na pwaye lipufan lom — kut angetani sie sin sie!”

And when Gideon perceived that he was an angel of the LORD, Gideon said, Alas, O Lord GOD! for because I have seen an angel of the LORD face to face.

23 A LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel, “Misla nu sum, ac nikmet sangeng. Kom ac fah tia misa.”

And the LORD said to him, Peace be to thee; fear not: thou shalt not die.

24 Ac Gideon el etoak sie loang nu sin LEUM GOD in acn sac, ac el pangon loang sac “LEUM GOD El Misla.” (Loang se inge srakna oan Ophrah nwe misenge. Acn sac ma lun ota lal Abiezer.)

Then Gideon built an altar there to the LORD, and called it Jehovahshalom: to this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.

25 In fong sacna LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Gideon, “Eis cow mukul nutin papa tomom an, ac soko pac ma yac itkosr matwa, ac kunausya loang lun Baal su papa tomom el orala, ac pakpakiya ma sruloala kacl god Asherah, su ma oanna siska an.

And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said to him, Take thy father’s young bull, even the second bull of seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the grove that is by it:

26 Etoak sie loang na wowo an nu sin LEUM GOD lom fin tohktok se inge. Ac eis cow soko aklukwa ma yac itkosr an, ac oru sie kisa firir an kac, ac etongkin kutkut in sak ma kom pakpakiya ke ma sruloala kacl Asherah.”

And build an altar to the LORD thy God upon the top of this rock, in the ordered place, and take the second bull, and offer a burnt sacrifice with the wood of the grove which thou shalt cut down.

27 Na Gideon el eis mwet singoul sin mwet kulansap lal ac oru oana ma LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel. El arulana sangeng sin sou lal ah, ac sin mwet in siti uh, pwanang el kofla oru ma inge ke len, a el oru ke fong.

Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as the LORD had said to him: and so it was, because he feared his father’s household, and the men of the city, that he could not do it by day, that he did it by night.

28 Ke mwet in siti uh toang tukakek in lotu tok ah, elos liye tuh loang lal Baal ac ma sruloala kacl Asherah ah musalsalu, ac cow soko aklukwa ah kisakinyuk tari fin loang se su musaiyukyak.

And when the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was cast down, and the grove was cut down that was by it, and the second bull was offered upon the altar that was built.

29 Mwet uh asiyuki sie sin sie ac fahk, “Su oru ma se inge?” Elos suk nwe konauk tuh na Gideon, wen natul Joash, pa oru ma sac.

And they said one to another, Who hath done this thing? And when they enquired and asked, they said, Gideon the son of Joash hath done this thing.

30 Na elos fahk nu sel Joash, “Use wen nutum nu inge tuh kut in unilya! El kunausla loang lal Baal ac pakpakiya ma sruloala lal Asherah su oan siska.”

Then the men of the city said to Joash, Bring out thy son, that he may die: because he hath cast down the altar of Baal, and because he hath cut down the grove that was by it.

31 Ac Joash el fahk nu selos su tuku in lainul, “Ya kowos ac welul Baal lac— Ya kowos ac eis acn sel— Kutena mwet fin welul, el ac fah anwuki meet liki lututang. Baal el fin sie god, lela elan sifacna molella. Ma lal pa loang se ma kunausyukla ah.”

And Joash said to all that stood against him, Will ye plead for Baal? will ye save him? he that will plead for him, let him be put to death by morning: if he is a god, let him plead for himself, because one hath cast down his altar.

32 Tukun pacl se inge, pangpang Gideon “Jerubbaal,” ke sripen Joash el fahk mu, “Lela Baal elan sifacna molella. Ma lal pa loang se ma kunausyukla ah.”

Therefore on that day he called him Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal plead against him, because he hath thrown down his altar.

33 Na mwet Midian, mwet Amalek, ac mwet yen mwesis uh elos toeni, ac fahsr sasla Infacl Jordan ac tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos ke Infahlfal Jezreel.

Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the children of the east were gathered together, and went over, and encamped in the valley of Jezreel.

34 Ngunin LEUM GOD tuku nu facl Gideon, ac el ukya mwe ukuk uh in pangon mwet in ota lal Abiezer tuh elos in fahsr tokol.

But the Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet; and Abiezer was called after him.

35 El supwala mwet utuk kas in fahsr sasla acn lun mwet Manasseh Roto ac mwet Manasseh Kutulap kewa elos in tuku fahsr tokol. El supwala pac mwet utuk kas nu sin sruf lal Asher ac Zebulun ac Naphtali, na elos tuku pac welul.

And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh; who also was called after him: and he sent messengers to Asher, and to Zebulun, and to Naphtali; and they came up to meet them.

36 Na Gideon el fahk nu sin LEUM GOD, “Kom fahk mu kom suleyula tuh kom in orekmakinyu in molela mwet Israel.

And Gideon said to God, If thou wilt save Israel by my hand, as thou hast said,

37 Liye, nga ac filiya kutu unen sheep fin fohk uh in nien kulkul wheat uh. Lututang nga fah liye, fin oasr aunfong ke unen sheep uh a wangin fin fohk uh, na nga fah etu lah pwaye kom ac orekmakinyu in molela mwet Israel.”

Behold, I will put a fleece of wool on the floor; and if the dew shall be on the fleece only, and it shall be dry upon all the earth besides, then shall I know that thou wilt save Israel by my hand, as thou hast said.

38 Na sikyak oana ma el siyuk ah. Ke Gideon el toang tukakek in lotu tok ah, el fulala unac sac na kof kac ah nwakla pol se.

And it was so: for he rose early on the next morning, and pressed the fleece, and wrung the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water.

39 Na Gideon el fahk nu sin God, “Nikmet mulat sik, mweyen nga ke fahkak pac sie ma. Nunak munas, lela nu sik tuh nga in srike siyuk sie pac ma ke unen sheep uh. Ke pacl se inge, oru tuh unen sheep uh in pao, ac fin fohk uh in sroksrok.”

And Gideon said to God, Let not thy anger be hot against me, and I will speak but this once: let me make a test, I pray thee, but this once with the fleece; let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all the ground let there be dew.

40 Ke fong sac God El oru oana. Ke lututang ah unen sheep sac pao na, a fin fohk uh sroksrok ke aunfong.

And God did so that night: for it was dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.
