< Abahluleli 7 >
1 Ekuseni kakhulu uJerubhi-Bhali (lowo nguGidiyoni) labantu bakhe bonke bamisa emthonjeni waseHarodi. Izihonqo zamaMidiyani zazingasenyakatho kwabo esigodini eduzane lentaba yaseMore.
Markaasay Yerubbacal oo ah Gidcoon iyo dadkii isaga la jiray oo dhan aroor hore kaceen, oo waxay degeen ishii Xarod dhinaceeda; oo xeradii reer Midyaanna waxay iyaga ka xigtay xagga woqooyi oo u dhow buurta Moreh, oo dooxadii ku dhex tiil.
2 UThixo wathi kuGidiyoni, “Abantu olabo banengi kakhulu ukuba nginikele amaMidiyani ezandleni zabo. Ukuze u-Israyeli angazincomi kimi esithi amandla akhe amsindisile,
Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Gidcoon ku yidhi, Dadka kula socdaa way igu badan yihiin inaan reer Midyaan gacanta u soo geliyo, waayo, waaba intaasoo ay reer binu Israa'iil ii faanaan, oo ay isyidhaahdaan, Gacantaydaa i badbaadisay.
3 memezela ebantwini khathesi nje uthi, ‘Lowo othuthumelayo ngenxa yokwesaba angabuyela emuva asuke eNtabeni iGiliyadi.’” Ngakho abantu abazinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lambili babuyela, kwathi abazinkulungwane ezilitshumi basala.
Haddaba tag oo dadka dhegahooda ku naadi, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Ku alla kii baqaya oo gariirayaa, ha iska noqdo oo ha ka tago Buur Gilecaad. Markaasaa dadkii waxaa dib uga noqday laba iyo labaatan kun oo nin, oo waxaa soo hadhay toban kun.
4 Kodwa uThixo wathi kuGidiyoni, “Abantu balokhu bebanengi kakhulu. Behlisele emanzini, ngizakuhlolela bona khonale. Ngingathi, ‘Lo uzahamba lawe,’ uzahamba; kodwa ngingathi, ‘Lo kazukuhamba lawe,’ akayikuhamba.”
Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Gidcoon ku yidhi, Dadku weli aad buu u badan yahay; bal waxaad geeysaa biyaha, oo halkaasaan iyaga kuugu tijaabinayaa, oo waxay noqon doontaa, kii aan kugu idhaahdo, Kanu ha ku raaco, kaasaa ku raaci doonaa, oo ku alla kii aan kugu idhaahdo, Kanu ku raaci maayo, kaasu waa inaanu ku raacin.
5 Ngakho uGidiyoni wabathatha abantu wabasa ngasemanzini. Khonapho uThixo wathi kuGidiyoni, “Yehlukanisa labo abaxhapha amanzi ngolimi lwabo njengenja kulabo abaguqa phansi ukuba banathe.”
Sidaas daraaddeed dadkii wuxuu keenay biyihii; markaasaa Rabbigu Gidcoon ku yidhi, Ku alla kii biyaha carrabkiisa ku leefleefa sida eey oo kale, kaas gooni ahaantiisa u sooc, sidaas oo kalena ku alla kii u jilba joogsada inuu biyaha cabbo isna gooni ahaantiisa u sooc.
6 Abantu abangamakhulu amathathu bakhaphazela amanzi emilonyeni yabo ngezandla zabo. Abanye bonke baguqa phansi ngamadolo abo ukuba banathe.
Oo kuwii leefleefay oo calaacalahooda afka saaray tiradoodii waxay noqotay saddex boqol oo nin; laakiinse dadka intiisii kale way wada jilba joogsadeen inay biyihii cabbaan.
7 UThixo wasesithi kuGidiyoni, “Ngamadoda angamakhulu amathathu anathe equthile ngizakusindisa nginikele amaMidiyani ezandleni zakho. Amanye wonke adedele aye emizini yabo.”
Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Gidcoon ku yidhi, Saddexda boqol oo nin oo calaacalahooda biyo ka leefleefay ayaan idinku badbaadinayaa, oo reer Midyaanna gacantaadaan soo gelinayaa; laakiinse dadka intiisa kale oo dhammu ha iska tageen, oo nin waluba ha ku noqdo meeshiisii.
8 Ngakho uGidiyoni wabuyisela inengi labako-Israyeli emathenteni abo wasala labangamakhulu amathathu, abayibo abathatha ukudla lamacilongo abanye. Izihonqo zamaMidiyani zazingaphansi kwakhe esigodini.
Sidaas daraaddeed dadkii waxay gacmahoodii ku qaateen sahay iyo buunankoodii, oo kulli dadkii reer binu Israa'iil wuu iska diray, oo nin waluba wuxuu tegey teendhadiisii, laakiin wuxuu la hadhay saddexdii boqol oo nin. Oo xeradii reer Midyaanna waxay ku tiil dooxadii isaga ka hoosaysay.
9 Ngalobobusuku uThixo wathi kuGidiyoni, “Vuka, yehla uyehlasela izihonqo ngoba ngizazinikela ezandleni zakho.
Oo isla habeenkaas Rabbigu wuxuu Gidcoon ku yidhi, Kac, oo xerada ku dhaadhac, waayo, iyada gacantaan kuu geliyey.
10 Nxa usesaba ukuhlasela, yehlela ezihonqweni lenceku yakho uPhura
Laakiinse haddaad ka baqaysid inaad ku dhaadhacdo, waxaad xerada kula dhaadhacdaa addoonkaaga Furaah,
11 ulalele abakutshoyo. Emva kwalokho uzakuba lesibindi sokuhlasela izihonqo.” Ngakho yena loPhura inceku yakhe behlela emaphethelweni ezihonqo.
oo waxaad maqli doontaa waxay isku leeyihiin; oo markaasay gacmahaagu u xoogaysan doonaan inaad xerada ku dhaadhacdo. Markaasuu hoos u dhaadhacay isagoo kaxaystay addoonkiisii Furaah ilaa meeshii ku wareegsanayd xerada oo raggii hubka lahaa degganaa.
12 AmaMidiyani lama-Amaleki kanye labanye bonke abasempumalanga babemise esigodini, bebanengi njengentethe. Amakamela abo ayengeke abalwe njengetshebetshebe okhunjini lolwandle.
Oo reer Midyaan iyo reer Camaaleq iyo reer barigii oo dhammu waxay ku jireen dooxadii, iyagoo u faro badan sida ayax oo kale, oo geelooduna tiro ma lahayn, oo waxay la faro le'ekaayeen cammuudda badda xeebteeda taal.
13 UGidiyoni wafika omunye umuntu esatshela umngane wakhe iphupho lakhe. Wathi, “Ngiphuphe iphupho. Isinkwa sebhali esiyindilinga size sigiqikela ezihonqweni zamaMidiyani. Sitshaye ithente ngamandla amakhulu ithente lagenquka lawohlokela phansi.”
Oo markuu Gidcoon yimid waxaa jiray nin saaxiibkiis riyo u sheegayay, oo wuxuu yidhi, War riyaan ku riyooday, oo waxaan arkay kibis shaciir laga sameeyey oo ku soo giringiratay xerada reer Midyaan, oo waxay soo gaadhay teendhada, oo intay ku dhacday ayay dumisay, oo markaasay gembiday, oo teendhadiina way dhacday.
14 Umngane wakhe waphendula wathi, “Lokhu akungeke kube ngolunye ulutho ngaphandle kwenkemba kaGidiyoni indodana kaJowashi, umʼIsrayeli. UNkulunkulu usenikele amaMidiyani lezihonqo zonke ezandleni zakhe.”
Markaasaa saaxiibkiis u jawaabay oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Taasu wax kale ma aha, seeftii Gidcoon ina Yoo'aash mooyaane, kaasoo ah nin reer Israa'iil ah. Ilaah baa kaas gacantiisa geliyey reer Midyaan iyo ciidanka oo dhanba.
15 Kwathi uGidiyoni esezwe iphupho lelo lengcazelo yalo, wakhonza. Wabuyela ezihonqweni zako-Israyeli wamemeza esithi, “Vukani! UThixo usenikele izihonqo zamaMidiyani ezandleni zenu!”
Oo markii Gidcoon maqlay sheegistii riyada iyo micnaynteediiba ayuu Rabbiga caabuday, oo kolkaasuu xeradii reer binu Israa'iil ku noqday, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Kaca, waayo, Rabbigu gacantuu idiin soo geliyey ciidanka reer Midyaan.
16 Esehlukanise abantu abangamakhulu amathathu baba ngamaviyo amathathu, bonke wabanika amacilongo lezimbizanyana ezingelalutho, zilezibane phakathi.
Markaasuu saddexdii boqol oo nin u kala qaybiyey saddex guuto, oo kulligoodba gacmahuu u geliyey buunan, iyo jalxado madhan oo ay qoryo ololayaa ku dhex jiraan.
17 Wathi kubo, “Ngikhangelani. Lingilandele. Lapho sengifike emaphethelweni ezihonqo, lenze engizabe ngikwenza.
Oo wuxuu ku yidhi iyagii, Ii fiirsada, oo yeela sidaan yeelo oo kale; oo bal eega, markii aan gaadho meesha xerada ku wareegsan waa inaad yeeshaan sidaan yeelo oo kale.
18 Nxa mina labo bonke abalami sesitshaya amacilongo ethu, lina ezindaweni zonke zezihonqo likhalise awenu limemeza lisithi, ‘NgekaThixo lekaGidiyoni.’”
Markaan buunka afuufo, aniga iyo inta ila jirta oo dhammu, idinkuna buunanka dhinac walba kaga afuufa xerada, oo waxaad tidhaahdaan, Rabbiga aawadiis iyo Gidcoon aawadiis.
19 UGidiyoni lamadoda alikhulu ayelaye bafika emaphethelweni ezihonqo ekuqaliseni komlindo waphakathi, besanda kuntshintsha abalindi. Bakhalisa amacilongo abo babulala lenkonxa ababeziphethe.
Haddaba Gidcoon iyo boqolkii nin oo la jiray waxay yimaadeen meeshii xerada ku wareegsanayd, dhankii ugu fogaa, oo markaasna waxay ahayd habeenbadhkii goorta waardiyaha cusub la saaro; oo waxay afuufeen buunankii, jalxadihii gacmahooda ku jirayna way burburiyeen.
20 Amaviyo amathathu akhalisa amacilongo abulala inkonxa. Bephethe izibane ngezandla zabo zenxele, ezandleni zokudla bephethe amacilongo ababezawakhalisa, bamemeza bathi, “Inkemba kaThixo lekaGidiyoni!”
Markaasay saddexdii guutoba buunankii afuufeen, oo jalxadihiina way burburiyeen, oo qoryihii ololayayna waxay ku wada qabsadeen gacanta bidix, buunankiina gacanta midig inay afuufaan, oo waxay ku wada qayliyeen, Seeftii Rabbiga iyo Gidcoon.
21 Umuntu munye ngamunye wayemi endaweni yakhe behanqe izihonqo, amaMidiyani wonke agijima, ehlaba umkhosi ebaleka.
Oo iyana nin waluba wuxuu istaagay meeshiisii iyagoo xerada ku wareegsan; markaasaa ciidankii oo dhammu wada yaacay; wayna qayliyeen oo carareen.
22 Kwathi amacilongo angamakhulu amathathu esekhala, uThixo wenza ukuthi abantu ababesezindaweni zonke ezihonqweni bahlaselane ngezinkemba zabo. Ibutho labalekela eBhethi-Shitha ngokuya eZerera kusiyafika emngceleni we-Abheli-Mehola eduzane leThabathi.
Oo iyana waxay afuufeen saddexdii boqol oo buun, markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu nin walba ku kiciyey saaxiibkiis iyo ciidankii oo dhan; oo ciidankiina wuxuu sii cararayay ilaa Beytshitah oo ah xagga Sereeraad, iyo tan iyo xuduudka Aabeel Mehoolaah oo u dhow Tabbaad.
23 Abako-Israyeli labakoNafithali, labako-Asheri labo bonke abakoManase babizwa, baxotshana lamaMidiyani.
Oo raggii reer binu Israa'iilna waxay isaga soo urureen reer Naftaali, iyo reer Aasheer, iyo reer Manaseh oo dhan, oo waxay eryoodeen reer Midyaan.
24 UGidiyoni wathuma izithunywa kulolonke ilizwe lamaqaqa elako-Efrayimi, esithi, “Yehlani lihlasele amaMidiyani lithumbe iziziba zaseJodani phambi kwawo kusiyafika eBhethi-Bhara.” Ngakho bonke abantu bako-Efrayimi babizwa bazithumba iziziba zaseJodani kusiyafika eBhethi-Bhara.
Markaasaa Gidcoon wargeeyayaal u diray dalkii buuraha lahaa oo reer Efrayim oo dhan, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Dhaadhaca, oo ka hor taga reer Midyaan, oo waxaad ka hor qabsataan biyaha ku jira tan iyo Beytbaaraah, iyo xataa Webi Urdun. Markaasay raggii reer Efrayim oo dhammu soo urureen oo waxay qabsadeen biyihii ku jiray tan iyo Beytbaaraah, iyo xataa Webi Urdun.
25 Bathumba labakhokheli bamaMidiyani ababili, u-Orebhi loZebhi. U-Orebhi bambulalela edwaleni lika-Orebhi, uZebhi esikhamelweni sewayini sikaZebhi. Baxotshana lamaMidiyani, amakhanda ka-Orebhi loZebhi bawasa kuGidiyoni owayeseJodani.
Oo waxay gacanta ku dhigeen labadii amiir oo reer Midyaan, oo ahaa Cooreeb iyo Se'eeb; oo markaasay Cooreeb ku dileen dhagaxii Cooreeb, oo Se'eebna waxay ku dileen macsaraddii Se'eeb, wayna sii eryoodeen reer Midyaan; markaasay madaxyadii Cooreeb iyo Se'eeb Gidcoon ugu keeneen Webi Urdun shishadiisa.
