Balam 6

1 Abayisirayiri ne bakola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda. N’abawaayo mu mikono gy’Abamidiyaani okumala emyaka musanvu.

Jo-Israel nochako otimo timbe mamono e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, kendo kuom higni abiriyo nochiwogi e lwet jo-Midian.

2 Abayisirayiri ne batulugunyizibwa nnyo Abamidiyaani. Kyebaava beesimira empuku ne beetoolooza ebibuga byabwe agasenge.

Nikech jo-Midian ne keto ji gi tich matek mar achuna, jo-Israel nogero kuonde pondo e tiend got, rogo kod kuonde moko ma ginyalo dakie.

3 Buli Abayisirayiri lwe baasiganga ensigo, Abamidiyaani, Abamaleki n’abantu ab’ebuvanjuba ne babalumbanga.

Kinde ka kinde mane jo-Israel opidho cham mag-gi, jo-Midian, jo-Amalek kod jogo moa yo wuok chiengʼ ne monjo piny.

4 Ne basiisira mu nsi eyo, ne bazikiriza ebirime byonna okutuusiza ddala e Gaaza. Ne bawemmenta endiga, ente, endogoyi era tebaalekera Bayisirayiri kantu konna.

Negichokore e pinyno kendo negiketho cham duto nyaka Gaza kendo onge gima ngima kaka rombe kata dhok kata punde mane giweyo e piny Israel.

5 Kubanga baayiikanga ng’enzige mu bungi nga tebabalika. Nga bajja n’eweema, ente, n’eŋŋamira zaabwe. Bwe batyo ne bazikiriza ensi.

Negibiro gi jambgi kod hembegi machal gi kweth mar dede. Kar kwan jogo kaachiel gi ngamia mag-gi ne tek ngʼeyo, kendo negimonjo pinyno mi gikethe.

6 Abayisirayiri baajeezebwa nnyo Abamidiyaani, Abayisirayiri kyebaava balaajaanira Mukama Katonda.

Jo-Midian nokelone jo-Israel dhier maduongʼ mane giywakne Jehova Nyasaye mondo okonygi.

7 Awo Abayisirayiri bwe baalaajanira Mukama olw’Abamidiyaani,

Ka jo-Israel noywak ne Jehova Nyasaye nikech jo-Midian,

8 Mukama, n’atumira Abayisirayiri Nnabbi, n’abagamba nti, “Mukama Katonda w’Abayisirayiri agamba bw’ati: nabakulembera okuva mu Misiri, ne mbaggya mu nnyumba ey’obuddu,

nooronegi janabi, mane owachonegi niya, “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel, wacho: Nagolou e piny Misri, kuma ne unie wasumbini.

9 ne mbanunula okuva mu mikono gy’Abamisiri, ne mu mikono gy’abo bonna abababonnyabonnyanga ne mbafuumuula ku lwammwe era ne mbawa mmwe ensi yaabwe;

Ne agolou e loch jo-Misri kendo aresou e lwet joma ne sandou. Ne ariembogi gia e nyimu kendo amiyou pinygi.

10 ne mbagamba nti, ‘Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe, temussanga kitiibwa mu bakatonda b’Abamoli, bannannyini nsi gye mubeeramu.’ Naye mmwe temugondedde ddoboozi lyange.”

Ne awachonu niya, ‘An Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu; kik ulam nyiseche jo-Amor, makoro udak e pinygi.’ To pod ok udewo winja.”

11 Malayika wa Mukama Katonda n’ajja mu Ofula, n’atuula wansi w’omuti omwera ogwali ogwa Yowaasi ow’omu ssiga lya Abiezeri: ne mutabani we Gidyoni yali akubira eŋŋaano mu ssogolero alyoke agikweke Abamidiyaani.

Malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nobiro mobet e tiend yiend ober moro mantiere Ofra mane mar Joash ma ja-Abiezer, kama wuod Gideon ne dinoe ngano mondo kik jo-Midian yude.

12 Malayika wa Mukama Katonda n’amulabikira, n’amugamba nti, “Ggwe omusajja omulwanyi namige. Mukama ali wamu naawe.”

Ka malaika nofwenyore ne Gideon, nowacho niya, “Jehova Nyasaye ni kodi, in jalweny maratego.”

13 Gidyoni n’abuuza nti, “Ayi Mukama wange, obanga Mukama ali wamu naffe, kale lwaki bino byonna bitutuuseeko? Eby’amagero eby’ekitalo bajjajjaffe bye baatubuulirako nti, ‘Mukama yatuggya mu Misiri, byo biruwa?’ Naye Kaakano Mukama Katonda atwabulidde era atuwaddeyo mu mikono gy’Abamidiyaani.”

To Gideon nodwoke niya, “Ruodha, ka Jehova Nyasaye nikodwa, to angʼo momiyo magi duto osetimorenwa? Ere honni duto mane kwerewa onyisowa kagiwacho ni, ‘Donge Jehova Nyasaye ema nogolowa e piny Misri?’ To koro Jehova Nyasaye osejwangʼowa mi oketowa e lwet jo-Midian.”

14 Mukama Katonda n’amukyukira n’agamba nti, “Ggenda n’amaanyigo g’olina, onunule Abayisirayiri mu mikono gy’Abamidiyaani: si nze nkutumye?”

Jehova Nyasaye nodwoke niya, “Gi teko ma in-go, dhiyo kendo ires jo-Israel e lwet jo-Midian. Donge an ema aori?”

15 N’amuddamu nti, “Ayi Mukama wange, nnyinza ntya okununula Abayisirayiri? Kubanga essiga mwe nva lye lisinga okunyoomebwa mu kika kya Manase ate nze nsembayo obuto mu maka ga kitaffe.”

Gideon nopenje niya, “To Ruoth, ere kaka anyalo reso jo-Israel? Anywolana ema nyape mogik ei Manase, kendo an ema atin e odwa.”

16 Mukama n’amugamba nti, “Ndibeera wamu naawe, era olifufuggaza Abamidiyaani ng’olinga akuba omuntu omu.”

Jehova Nyasaye nodwoko niya, “Anabed kodi, kendo ibiro nego jo-Midian duto.”

17 Gidyoni n’amuddamu nti, “Obanga nsiimiddwa mu maaso go mpa obukakafu nga ddala ggwe wuuyo ayogera nange.

Gideon nodwoko niya, “Ka koro ayudo ngʼwono e nyim wangʼi, to miya ranyisi ni in ema iwuoyo koda.

18 Nkwegayiridde, tova wano, ka ŋŋende nkuleetere ekirabo kyange nkiteeke mu maaso go.” Mukama n’agamba nti, “Kale kambeere wano okutuusa lw’onookomawo.”

Kiyie to kik iwuog ka nyaka abi kendo akel misango mara mi achiwe e nyimi.” To Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Abiro rito nyaka iduogi.”

19 Gidyoni n’ayingira mu nju ye, n’atta omwana gw’embuzi n’ateekateeka n’emigaati egitazimbulukuswa ng’akozesa kilo abiri ez’obuwunga bw’eŋŋaano. Ennyama n’agiteeka mu kibbo; ne guleevi waayo ne bamussa mu kibya, n’abimuleetera wansi w’omwera n’abimuwa.

Gideon nodhi, moyangʼo nyadiel kendo otedo, bangʼe nokawo mogo madirom kilo piero ariyo gariyo mi olosogo makati ma ok oketie thowi koketo ringʼo e adita kod kate e tawo, nokelogi oko kendo ochiwogi ne Jehova Nyasaye e tiend yiend ober.

20 Naye malayika wa Katonda n’amulagira nti, “Ddira ennyama n’emigaati egitazimbulukuswa obiteeke ku jjinja lino obifukeko guleevi.” Gidyoni n’akola bw’atyo.

Malaika mar Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Kaw ringʼono kod makati ma ok oketie thowi, ketgi e lwandani, kendo iol kado piny.” Kendo Gideon notimo kamano.

21 Awo malayika wa Mukama Katonda n’akoma ku nnyama ne ku migaati egitazimbulukuswa nga yeeyambisa omuggo gwe yalina. Omuliro ne guva mu jjinja ne gububuuka ne gwokya ennyama n’emigaati egitazimbulukuswa byonna ne bisaanawo. Amangwago malayika wa Mukama n’abulawo.

Malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nomulo ringʼo kod makati ma ok oketie thowi gi wi luth mane otingʼo e lwete. Mach nowuok e lwanda, mowangʼo ringʼo kod makati pep. Kendo malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nolal nono e wangʼe.

22 Gidyoni n’ategeera ng’oyo abadde malayika wa Mukama; Gidyoni n’agamba nti, “Zinsanze, Ayi Mukama Katonda, kubanga tulabaganye ne malayika wa Mukama maaso ku maaso.”

Kane Gideon ofwenyo ni ne en malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye, nowacho niya, “Yaye, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto! Aseneno malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye wangʼ gi wangʼ!”

23 Naye Mukama Katonda n’amugamba nti, “Emirembe gibe ku ggwe tootya tojja kufa.”

To Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Bed gi kwe! Kik iluor. Ok nitho.”

24 Gidyoni n’azimbira Mukama Katonda ekyoto mu kifo ekyo; n’akituuma erinnya Yakuwasalumu (Mukama gy’emirembe); n’okutuusa kaakano kikyaliyo mu Ofula eky’ab’omu ssiga lya Abiezeri.

Omiyo Gideon nogero ne Jehova Nyasaye kendo mar misango mi oluongo kanyo ni Jehova Nyasaye en Kwe. Kendono pod ni Ofra kuno e piny jo-Abiezer nyaka chil kawuono.

25 Ekiro ekyo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Gidyoni nti, “Mmennya ekyoto kwe basinziza Baali, ofuneyo ente eya sseddume ensava eddirira esinga obulungi okuva mu kiraalo kya kitaawo; otemeeteme ekifaananyi ekibajje ekya Asera ekiriraanye ekyoto kya Baali:

Otienono Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Kaw rwath mar ariyo koa e kweth wuonu, ma hike abiriyo. Muk kendo wuonu mar misango ne Baal kendo ingʼad siro mar Ashera man bute.

26 mu kifo ekyo kungulu ozimbireko Mukama Katonda wo ekyoto mu nzimba entuufu eyalagirwa, oddire ente eyo eya sseddume gy’oggye mu kiraalo kya kitaawo ogiweeyo ng’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa ng’ogyokya n’ebibajjo by’ekifaanannyi kya Asera.”

Eka iger kendo mar misango malongʼo ne Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu ewi kama otingʼore maloni mondo ichiw rwath mar ariyo kaka misango miwangʼo pep, kitiyo gi yiend Ashera mane ingʼado.”

27 Awo Gidyoni n’atwala kkumi ku baddu be, n’akola nga Mukama bwe yamulagira, naye kino yakikola kiro olw’okutya ab’omu nju ya kitaawe n’abantu abalala ab’omu kibuga.

Omiyo Gideon nokawo jotijene apar kendo notimo kaka Jehova Nyasaye nowachone. Notimo tijno gotieno ma ok odiechiengʼ nikech noluoro jo-dalagi kod joodgi.

28 Abantu b’omu kibuga baagenda okugolokoka ku nkya mu makya, nga ekyoto kwe baasinzizanga Baali kimenyeddwamenyeddwa, n’ekifaananyi kya Asera ekyakiri okumpi nga nakyo kitemeddwatemeddwa, n’ente eya ssava ng’eweereddwayo ku kyoto ekiggya.

Gokinyi ka joma ni e dalano nochiewo, negiyudo ka kar wangʼo misango mar Baal omuki, ka yiend Ashera mane ni bute bende ongʼadi kendo ka rwath mar ariyo ochiw ka misango e kendo mar misango mane oger manyien!

29 Ne beebuuza nti, “Ani akoze kino?” Awo bwe babuuliriza, ne bategeezebwa nti, “Gidyoni mutabani wa Yowaasi y’akikoze”.

Negipenjore kendgi niya, “En ngʼa motimo ma?” Kane ginono matut, nowachnegi niya, “Gideon wuod Joash ema osetimo ma.”

30 Abantu b’omu kibuga ne bagamba Yowaasi nti, “Ffulumya mutabani wo tumutte, kubanga amenyeemenye ekyoto kwetusinziza Baali; ate era n’atemaatema n’ekifaananyi kya Asera ekibadde kikiriraanye.”

Jo-dalano nowachone Joash niya, “Gol wuodi oko. Nyaka otho nikech oseketho kendo mar misango mar Baal kendo ongʼado yiend Ashera man bute.”

31 Yowaasi n’addamu ekibinja ky’abantu abaali bamulumbye nti, “Mwagala kulwanirira Baali? Mwagala kuwagira bigendererwa bye? Omuntu yenna ayagala okumulwanirira wa kuttibwa nga obudde tebunakya; obanga ddala Baali ye Katonda, yerwanirire yekka, kubanga ekyoto kye kyamenyeddwamenyeddwa.”

To Joash nodwoko oganda mager mane ni bute niya, “Un ema uwuoyo e lo Baal? Utemo rese? Ngʼato angʼata mokedone enonege gokinyi! Ka Baal en nyasaye, to onyalo resore kende owuon kuom ngʼama muko kendone mar misango.”

32 Okuva ku olwo Gidyoni ne bamukazaako erya Yerubbaali ekitegeeza nti, “Baali amulwanyise.” Kubanga yamenyaamenya ekyoto kya Baali.

Omiyo odiechiengno negichako Gideon ni Jerub-Baal, kagiwacho niya, “We Baal otiek kode,” nikech nomuko kendo mar misango mar Baal.

33 Awo Abamidiyaani, Abamaleki n’abantu b’ebuvanjuba ne beegatta bonna ne basomoka omugga Yoludaani ne basiisira mu kiwonvu ky’e Yezuleeri.

Koro jo-Midian duto gi jo-Amalek kod jogo moa yo wuok chiengʼ noriwore e lweny ma gingʼado aora Jordan kendo gigo kambi e Holo mar Jezreel.

34 Omwoyo wa Mukama Katonda n’akka ku Gidyoni; n’afuuwa ekkondeere ng’ayita ab’essiga lya Abiyezeeri bamugoberere.

Eka Roho mar Jehova Nyasaye nobiro kuom Gideon, kendo nogoyo turumbete, kowachoni jo-Abiezer mondo oluw bangʼe.

35 N’atuma ababaka eri ab’ekika kya Manase nabo bamugoberere. N’atuma n’ababaka abalala eri ab’ekika kya Aseri, n’ekya Zebbulooni n’ekya Nafutaali bamusisinkane.

Nooro joote odhi Manase duto, koluongogi mondo gitingʼ gige lweny, kendo gidhi ir Asher, Zebulun kod Naftali, mondo gin bende gidhi girom kode.

36 Awo Gidyoni n’agamba Katonda nti, “Obanga olinunula Abayisirayiri ng’oyita mu nze nga bwe wasuubiza,

Gideon nowachone Nyasaye niya, “Ka inires jo-Israel kokalo kuoma kaka ne isingo,

37 ka nteeke ebyoya by’endiga mu kifo awakubirwa eŋŋaano; bwe binaatoba omusulo naye ng’ettaka eribyetoolodde lyo kkalu, ne ndyoka nkakasa ddala ng’olinunula Abayisirayiri ng’oyita mu nze nga bwe wasuubiza.”

to abiro keto pien rombo kar dino cham. Kapo ni pien rombono thoo omokoe, to lowo molwore odongʼ kotwo, eka anangʼe ni ibiro reso jo-Israel gi lweta kaka ne iwacho.”

38 Ddala bwe kityo bwe kyali; kubanga Gidyoni bwe yagolokoka enkeera mu makya ebyoya by’endiga n’abikamulamu omusulo ne muvaamu ekibya kiramba eky’amazzi.

Kendo mano e gima notimore. Gideon nochiewo gokinyi mangʼich; nobiyo pien-no ma thoo owuok madirom bakul achiel.

39 Gidyoni n’agamba Katonda nti, “Nkwegayiridde tonsunguwalira, kankusabe obukakafu omulundi omulala gumu gwokka. Ku luno njagala ebyoya by’endiga bye biba bibeera ebikalu, ettaka eribyetoolodde litobe omusulo.”

Eka Gideon nowachone Nyasaye niya, “Kik iyi wangʼ koda. We mondo akwayi kwayo achiel makende. Yiena mana tem achiel kende gi pien. E kindeno, pien mondo obed kotwo, to lowo molwore obed gi thoo.”

40 Ekiro ekyo Katonda n’akola nga Gidyoni bwe yamusaba, ebyoya by’endiga ne biba bikalu, lyo ettaka eribyetoolodde ne litoba omusulo.

Otienono Nyasaye notimo kamano. Pien kende ema ne otwo; to lowo duto molwore ne thoo omoke.
