Mpitsara 6
1 Ie amy zao nanao haratiañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà o ana’ Israeleo, naho nitolora’ Iehovà am-pità’ i Midiane fito taoñe.
And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of YHWH: and YHWH delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years.
2 Le nitan-kagàñe am’ Israele ty fità’ o nte-Midianeo kanao nihaly lakato ambohitsey naho kobom-pipalirañe ty amo nte-Midianeo o ana’ Israeleo.
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 Amy te, ie vata’e nitongy o ana’ Israeleo, le nionjomb’eo o nte-Midianeo naho o nte-Amalekeo vaho o anan-tatiñanañeo haname iareo,
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 hitobea’e, hampiantoe’e ty voka’ i tane’ Israeley pak’ Azà añe, le tsy apo’ iareo e Israele ao ty hahaveloñe añondry ndra añombe ndra borìke.
And they encamped against them, and destroyed the increase of the earth, till thou come unto Gaza, and left no sustenance for Israel, neither sheep, nor ox, nor ass.
5 Ie nionjoñe mb’eo reketse hare naho kibohotse ami’ty havalobohò’e hoe valala, ie naho o rameva’ iareo tsy nihay iaheñeo, te nimoak’ an-tane ao hamongots’ aze.
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 Nampifotsake Israele ambane ty Midiane; vaho nikoaik’ am’ Iehovà o ana’ Israeleo.
And Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites; and the children of Israel cried unto YHWH.
7 Aa ie nitoreove’ o ana’ Israeleo am’ Iehovà i Midiane,
And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried unto YHWH because of the Midianites,
8 le nañitrifa’ Iehovà mpitoky o ana’ Israeleo, le hoe re am’ iereo, Hoe ty tsara’ Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ Israele; Nakareko boake Mitsraime añe nahareo vaho nampionjoneko hirik’ an-trañom-pañondevozañe ao;
That YHWH sent a prophet unto the children of Israel, which said unto them, Thus saith YHWH Elohim of Israel, I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you forth out of the house of bondage;
9 le nivotsorako am-pità’ o nte-Mitsraimeo, naho am-pità’ o namorekekeo naho nataoko soik’ añatrefa’ areo vaho natoloko anahareo o tane’eo.
And I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all that oppressed you, and drave them out from before you, and gave you their land;
10 Aa hoe ty asako ama’ areo: Izaho Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo; ko añeveña’ areo o ‘ndraharen-te-Amoreo, ie mimoneñe an-tane’e ao, fe tsy hinao’ areo ty feoko.
And I said unto you, I am YHWH your Elohim; fear not the elohim of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but ye have not obeyed my voice.
11 Aa le nivotrake eo ty anjeli’ Iehovà niambesatse ambane’ ty kile’ Ioase nte-Abiezere e Ofrà añe; namofoke vare-bolè ampipiritan-divay ao t’i Gidone ana’e haeta’e amo nte-Midianeo.
And there came an angel of YHWH, and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abi-ezrite: and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites.
12 Niheo ama’e i anjeli’ Iehovày, le nanoe’e ty hoe: Ama’o t’Iehovà ry fanalolahio.
And the angel of YHWH appeared unto him, and said unto him, YHWH is with thee, thou mighty man of valour.
13 Le hoe t’i Gidone ama’e, O Talèko, kanao ama’ay t’Iehovà, ino ty nametsaha’e ze he’e zao? Aa vaho aia iaby o raha tsitantane’e natalilin-droae’ay ama’aio, ami’ty hoe: Tsy nakare’ Iehovà boake Mitsraime añe hao tika? fe naforintse’ Iehovà henaneo, vaho nasese’e am-pità’ o nte-Midianeo.
And Gideon said unto him, Oh my master, if YHWH be with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not YHWH bring us up from Egypt? but now YHWH hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.
14 Nitolik’ ama’e t’Iehovà nanao ty hoe: Akia ami’ty haozara’o hañaha Israele am-pità’ i Midiane; tsy fa niraheko?
And YHWH 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 Le hoe re tama’e: O Talèko, akore ty haharombahako Israele? hehe te boroka amy Menasè o taminga’aio vaho tsitso’e añ’ anjomban-draeko iraho.
And he said unto him, Oh my master, wherewith shall I save Israel? behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house.
16 Le hoe t’Iehovà ama’e. Toe ho ama’o iraho, le ho lafae’o hoe ondaty raike o nte-Midianeo.
And YHWH said unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man.
17 Aa le hoe ty natoi’e aze: Aa ie nahaoni-palalàñe am-pivazohoa’o eo, ehe toloro viloñe te Ihe ro nitsara amako.
And he said unto him, If now I have found favour in thy sight, then shew me a sign that thou talkest with me.
18 Ehe, ko mienga atoy, ampara’ te harineako, hibanabana naho hanjotsoako. Le hoe re, ho liñasako ty fibali’o.
Depart not hence, I pray thee, until I come unto thee, and bring forth my present, and set it before thee. And he said, I will tarry until thou come again.
19 Aa le nimoak’ ao t’i Gidone, nañalankañe vik’ ose naho mofo tsy aman-dalivay ami’ty mona’e efà raike; napo’e an-karoñe ao i henay naho am-pinga-kodoboñe ao i ro’ey naho nibanabanae’e ambane’ i kiley vaho nazotso’e.
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 unto him under the oak, and presented it.
20 Aa hoe i anjeli’ Iehovày ama’e, Rambeso o henao naho o mofo pisakeo vaho apoho amo vato tiañe le adoaño ama’e ty ro’e. Aa le nanoe’e.
And the angel of Elohim said unto him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them upon this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so.
21 Natondro’ i anjeli’ Iehovà mb’ ama’e i kobay am-pità’ey le natsovo’e i henay naho i mofo tsy aman-dalivaiy, le nisolebotse boak’ amy vatoy ty afo namorototo i henay naho i mofo pisakey. Nienga am-pahaoniña’e amy zao t’Iehovà.
Then the angel of YHWH put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and there rose up fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes. Then the angel of YHWH departed out of his sight.
22 Aa le nioni’ i Gidone t’ie anjeli’ Iehovà; le hoe t’i Gidone, Hoy abey! ry Talè Iehovà! te izaho nahatrea ty laharan’ anjeli’ Iehovà, tarehe naho laharañe.
And when Gideon perceived that he was an angel of YHWH, Gideon said, Alas, O YHWH Elohim! for because I have seen an angel of YHWH face to face.
23 Le hoe t’Iehovà ama’e: Fanintsiñañe ama’o; ko hemban-drehe fa tsy hihomake.
And YHWH said unto him, Peace be unto thee; fear not: thou shalt not die.
24 Nandranjy kitrely ho am’ Iehovà eo t’i Gidone vaho natao’e Iehovà-salome ty añara’e; ie e Ofrà’ o nte-Abiezeo henaneo.
Then Gideon built an altar there unto YHWH, and called it YHWH -shalom: unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abi-ezrites.
25 Ie amy haleñey, le nitsara’ Iehovà ty hoe: Andrambeso bania raike ami’ty anjomban-drae’o naho añombe fito-ay ho faharoe’e, le afetsaho ambane i kitreli’ i Baale aman-drae’oy vaho firao i Aserà marine azey;
And it came to pass the same night, that YHWH said unto him, Take thy father's young bullock, even the second bullock 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 le mandrajia kitrely ambone’ o lamilamio amy Iehovà Andrianañahare’o, am-pilahara’e do’e naho rambeso i añombelahy faharoey vaho engao am-pisoroñañe amy hataen’ Aserà finira’oy.
And build an altar unto YHWH thy Elohim upon the top of this rock, in the ordered place, and take the second bullock, and offer a burnt sacrifice with the wood of the grove which thou shalt cut down.
27 Aa le rinambe’ i Gidone ty lahilahy folo amo mpitoro’eo vaho nanoe’e i tsinara’ Iehovày. Fe nihembañe tsy nimete nanoe’e antoandro ty amy anjomban-drae’ey naho ty am’ ondati’ i rovaio, fa nanoe’e haleñe.
Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as YHWH had said unto 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 Aa ie nitroatse maraindraiñe ondati’ i rovaio, hehe te nirotsak’ ambane ty kitreli’ i Baale, naho finira ka i Aserà marine azey, vaho fa nisoroñañe amy kitrely niranjieñey i añombelahy faharoey.
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 bullock was offered upon the altar that was built.
29 Le hoe ty nifanoa’ iereo: Ia ty nanao o raha zao? Aa naho nañontane iereo, le hoe ty asa’e: Sata’ i Gidone ana’ Ioase zao.
And they said one to another, Who hath done this thing? And when they inquired and asked, they said, Gideon the son of Joash hath done this thing.
30 Aa le hoe ty asa’ ondati’ i rovaio am’ Ioase; Akaro i ana’oy, havetrake; amy te rinotsa’e ty kitreli’ i Baale; vaho finira’e i Aserà marine azey.
Then the men of the city said unto 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 Aa le hoe t’Ioase amo nijohañe ama’eo: Hialy ho a i Baale hao nahareo? Hañaro aze hao? Havetrake aolo’ ty maraiñe ze hialy ho aze; aa naho ‘ndrahare re, angao harova’e kanao eo ty nandrotsake i kitreli’ey.
And Joash said unto 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 whilst it is yet morning: if he be an elohim, let him plead for himself, because one hath cast down his alter.
32 Aa le natao Ierob’ baale i tahina’ey ami’ty hoe: Angao hiatrek’ aze t’i Baale amy t’ie nandrotsak’ i kitreli’ey.
Therefore on that day he called him Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal plead against him, because he hath thrown down his altar.
33 Ie amy zao fa nifanontoñe iaby o nte-Midianeo naho o nte-Amalekeo naho o ana’ tatiñanañeo; nitsake vaho nitobe am-bavatane’ Iizreele ao.
Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the children of the east were gathered together, and went over, and pitched in the valley of Jezreel.
34 Fe nivotrak’ amy Gidone t’i Arofo’ Iehovà le nitiofe’e i tsifay le nañampea’ o nte-Abiezereo.
But the Spirit of YHWH came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet; and Abi-ezer was gathered after him.
35 Le nampihitrife’e ty hanitsike i Menasè, naho nireketa’e, nampihitrifa’e ka t’i Asere naho i Zebolone vaho i Naftalý; le nionjomb’ ama’e mb’eo ka iereo nifanampe ama’e.
And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh; who also was gathered after him: and he sent messengers unto Asher, and unto Zebulun, and unto Naphtali; and they came up to meet them.
36 Le hoe t’i Gidone aman’ Añahare, Ho rombahe’o an-tañako hao t’Israele ty amy tsara’oy?
And Gideon said unto Elohim, If thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said,
37 Hehe te hapoko an-toem-pifofohañe eo ty volon’ añondry; aa naho amy volon’ añondriy avao ty zono vaho maike iaby o taneo, le hapotako te ho rombahe’o an-tañako t’Israele ty amy tsara’oy.
Behold, I will put a fleece of wool in the floor; and if the dew be on the fleece only, and it be dry upon all the earth beside, then shall I know that thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said.
38 Aa ie izay; nañaleñaleñe re, le nifeahe’e i volon’ añondriy nañafake i zonoy vaho nahapea ty soakazo.
And it was so: for he rose up early on the morrow, and thrust the fleece together, and wringed the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water.
39 Fe hoe t’i Gidone aman’ Añahare, Ko ampisolebore’o amako ty haviñera’o naho mbe ivolañako henaneo; angao hamentesako indraik’ amy volon’ añondriy. Ehe te i volon’añondriy avao ty ho maike, vaho ho tsitsike zono o taneo.
And Gideon said unto Elohim, Let not thine anger be hot against me, and I will speak but this once: let me prove, 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 Aa le nanoen’ Añahare izay amy haleñey; i volon’ añondriy avao ty nimaike vaho nitsitsihen-jono o taneo.
And Elohim did so that night: for it was dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.
