Balam 8
1 Awo abasajja ba Efulayimu ne babuuza Gidyoni nti, “Lwaki watuyisa bw’otyo, n’ototuyita bwe wagenda okulwana ne Midiyaani?” Ne bamunenya nnyo.
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.
2 Naye n’abaddamu nti, “Kiki kye nkoze okugeraageranya nammwe kye mukoze? Amakungula ga Efulayimu tegasinga ezabbibu Abiyezeeri z’akungudde?
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?
3 Katonda yagabula Olebu ne Zeebu abakulembeze ba Midiyaani mu mukono gwammwe. Kiki kye nandiyinzizza okukola okugeraageranya nammwe?” Awo bwe yabagamba ebigambo ebyo ne bakkakkana.
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.
4 Awo Gidyoni n’abasajja be ebikumi bisatu, nga bakooye, naye nga bakyabawondera, ne batuuka ku Yoludaani ne basomoka.
Hagi Gidioni'ene 300'a vahe'mo'zanena Jodani tina takahe'za zamasafera nehianagi, ha' vahezmia zamarotago hu'naze.
5 N’agamba abasajja ab’omu Sukkosi nti, “Muwe ku basajja bange, ekyokulya, bakooye. Mpondera Zeba ne Zalumunna bakabaka ba Midiyaani.”
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.
6 Naye abakungu ab’omu Sukkosi ne bamuddamu nti, “Eggye lyo limaze okuwamba Zeba ne Zalumunna tulyoke tubawe emmere?”
Hianagi Sukoti kumate kva vahe'mo'za amanage hu'za kenona asmi'naze, Zebane Zalmunanema zanazeritesanketa sondia vaheka'a ne'zana zamigahune.
7 Awo Gidyoni n’abaddamu nti, “Kale olw’ekyo kye muŋŋambye, Mukama Katonda bw’aligabula Zeba ne Zalumunna mu mukono gwange, ndiyuza emibiri gyammwe n’amaggwa ag’omu ddungu n’emyeramannyo.”
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.
8 Bwe yava eyo, n’ayambuka n’alaga e Penieri, n’abasaba ekintu kye kimu. Naye abantu b’e Penieri ne bamuddamu ng’abasajja ab’omu Sukkosi bwe bamuddamu.
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.
9 Kyeyava agamba abantu b’e Penieri nti, “Bwe ndikomawo emirembe, ndimenyaamenya omunaala guno.”
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.
10 Zeba ne Zalumunna baali mu Kalukoli n’eggye lyabwe ery’abasajja ng’omutwalo gumu n’ekitundu, nga be bantu abaasigalawo ku ggye lyonna ery’abantu ab’obuvanjuba. Abasajja ng’emitwalo kkumi n’ebiri abaasowolanga ebitala be baali bafudde.
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.
11 Awo Gidyoni n’ayambukira mu kkubo ly’abo ababeera mu weema ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba olw’e Noba n’e Yogubeka n’alumba eggye nga teritegedde.
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.
12 Zeba ne Zalumunna ne badduka, naye n’abawondera, era n’awamba bakabaka bombi aba Midiyaani, n’awangulira ddala eggye lyabwe lyonna.
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.
13 Awo Gidyoni mutabani wa Yowaasi n’akomawo okuva mu lutalo ng’ayitira mu Lukuubo lwa Keresi.
Hagi Joasi nemofo Gidionima ha'ma huvagareteno'a ana kumara atreno, Heresi agonama me'neregama e'nea kamofo avaririno e'ne.
14 N’asangiriza omuvubuka ow’oku bantu ab’omu Sukkosi, n’abaako by’amubuuza. Omuvubuka n’amuwandiikira amannya g’abakungu ab’omu Sukkosi, abakadde nsanvu mu musanvu.
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.
15 Gidyoni n’alyoka ajja eri abasajja ab’omu Sukkosi n’abagamba nti, “Zeba ne Zalumunna baabo be mwasinzirako okundulira nga muŋŋamba nti, temuyinza kuwa basajja bange abaali bakooye mmere, nga sirina Zeba ne Zalumunna mu mukono gwange.”
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.
16 N’akwata abakadde b’ekibuga n’addira amaggwa ag’omu ddungu n’emyeramannyo n’abonereza abasajja ab’omu Sukkosi.
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.
17 N’agenda n’e Penieri n’amenyaamenya omunaala gwa Penieri, n’atta n’abasajja b’omu kibuga.
Ana nehuno Peniel kumate mani'ne'zama kuma'ma kegava nehaza za'za nozmia taganavazinetreno ana rankumapi vahera zamahe fri vagare'ne.
18 N’alyoka abuuza Zeba ne Zalumunna nti, “Abasajja be mwattira e Taboli baali bafaanana batya?” Ne bamuddamu nti, “ggwe nga bw’oli nabo bwe baali. Buli omu yali afaanana abalangira.”
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.
19 N’abaddamu nti, “Abo baali baganda bange, abaana ba mmange. Mukama Katonda nga bw’ali omulamu, singa mwabalekawo, sandi basse mmwe.”
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.
20 Awo n’agamba Yeseri mutabani we omubereberye nti, “Golokoka obatte.” Naye omuvubuka oyo n’atasowolayo kitala kye okubatta. Yatya kubanga yali akyali mulenzi bulenzi.
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.
21 Zeba ne Zalumunna ne boogera nti, “Ggwe jjangu otutte, kubanga ng’omusajja bw’ali, n’amaanyi ge bwe genkana. Gidyoni n’agolokoka n’atta Zeba ne Zalumunna, n’atwala n’ebyali bitimbiddwa mu bulago bw’eŋŋamira zaabwe.”
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.
22 Awo abantu ba Isirayiri ne bagamba Gidyoni nti, “Tufugire ddala ggwe ne mutabani wo, kubanga otulokodde okuva mu mukono gwa Midiyaani.”
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.
23 Naye Gidyoni n’abaddamu nti, “Nze sijja kubafuga, so ne mutabani wange tajja kubafuga, wabula Mukama y’anaabafuganga.”
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.
24 Gidyoni n’abagamba nti, “Mbasaba ekintu kimu; buli omu ku mmwe ampe empeta ze yanyaga ku Bayisimayiri.”
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.
25 Ne bamuddamu nti, “Okuzikuwa tujja kuzikuwa.” Ne bayalirira olugoye wansi, buli omu n’ateekako empeta ze yanyaga.
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.
26 Obuzito bw’empeta eza zaabu ne buba sekeri lukumi mu lusanvu (nga kilo kkumi na mwenda n’ekitundu), obutabalirako bya kwewoomya, ebirengejja, n’ebyambalo ebya ffulungu, ebyayambalwanga bakabaka ba Midiyaani, n’emikuufu egyateekebwanga mu bulago bw’eŋŋamira zaabwe.
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.
27 Awo Gidyoni n’addira zaabu n’amusaanuusa n’amukolamu ekifaananyi eky’ekkanzu (efodi), n’akiteeka mu kibuga kye Ofula. Abayisirayiri bonna ne bakivuunamiranga ne bakisinzanga, era ne kifuukira Gidyoni n’enju ye yonna omutego.
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.
28 Awo Midiyaani n’ewangulwa abaana ba Isirayiri, era n’etaddayo kubalumba. Ensi n’eba n’emirembe okumala emyaka amakumi ana, Gidyoni gye yabalamula.
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.
29 Yerubbaali ye Gidyoni mutabani wa Yowaasi, n’addayo ewaabwe.
Hagi Joasi nemofo Gidioni'a ete kuma'arega vu'ne.
30 Gidyoni yazaala abaana aboobulenzi nsanvu mu bakazi abangi be yalina.
Hagi Gidioni'a rama'a a'nane zmante'negu 70'a ne'mofavrerami zamante'ne.
31 N’omuzaana we ow’omu Sekemu yamuzaalira omwana wabulenzi, era n’amutuuma Abimereki.
Hagi Sekemu kumate nemania a'amo'a ne'mofavre antegeno, agi'a Abimeleki'e huno ante'ne.
32 Awo Gidyoni mutabani wa Yowaasi n’afa, ng’akaddiye bulungi, n’aziikibwa mu ntaana ya kitaawe Yowaasi mu Ofula eky’Ababiezeri.
Hagi Joasi nemofo Gidioni'a ozafa omereno frigeno, nefa Joasima asente'naza matipi Abiesa naga nofimofo mopafi Ofra kumate asente'naze.
33 Gidyoni nga y’akafa, abaana ba Isirayiri ne bakyuka okusinza babaali ne bafuula Baaluberisi katonda waabwe.
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.
34 Abaana ba Isirayiri ne batajjukira Mukama Katonda waabwe eyabalokola okuva mu mukono gw’abalabe baabwe bonna ku njuyi zonna.
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.
