Abahluleli 8
1 Abako-Efrayimi babuza uGidiyoni bathi, “Kungani usiphathe kanje na? Kungani ungasibizanga lapho ususiyakulwa lamaMidiyani?” Bamsola kakhulu.
Na mwet Ephraim elos fahk nu sel Gideon, “Efu ku kom tia pangon kut ke kom som mweuni mwet Midian? Efu kom ku orekut ouinge?” Elos arulana multikin nu sel Gideon.
2 Kodwa yena wabaphendula wathi, “Kuyini mina engikufezileyo okulingana lokwenu na? Amagrebisi ako-Efrayimi aseleyo ekuvuneni kawangcono kulamagrebisi esivuno esipheleleyo sako-Abhiyezeri na?
Na el fahk nu selos, “Ma nga tuh orala tia apkuran nu ke ma kowos orala. Finne ma na srisrik kowos mwet in sruf lal Ephraim orala an, yohk liki na ma nukewa mwet in ota lal Abiezer elos orala.
3 UNkulunkulu unikele u-Orebhi loZebhi, abakhokheli bamaMidiyani, ezandleni zenu. Kuyini lokho engikwenzileyo lapho ngiqathaniswa lani?” Ngalokhu ukuthukuthela kwabo kwadeda.
Saya pacna, ke ku lun God kowos tuh uniya leum luo lun mwet Midian ah, Oreb ac Zeeb. Mea nga tuh orala yohk liki ma kowos orala inge?” Ke el fahkla ma inge, elos tila toasr sel.
4 UGidiyoni labantu bakhe abangamakhulu amathathu sebediniwe kodwa belokhu bexotshana lawo, bafika eJodani bayichapha.
In pacl se inge, Gideon ac mwet tolfoko lal ah tuku nu Infacl Jordan ac fahsr alukela. Elos arulana totola, tusruktu elos srakna ukwe mwet lokoalok lalos.
5 Wasesithi ebantwini baseSukhothi, “Phanini amabutho ami izinkwa; akhathele, njalo ngisaxotshana loZebha kanye loZalimuna, amakhosi aseMidiyani.”
Ke elos sun acn Sukkoth, Gideon el fahk nu sin mwet in acn sac, “Nunak munas, sang kutu bread an nu sin mwet luk inge. Elos arulana totola, ac nga srakna ukwe tokosra luo lun mwet Midian: Zebah ac Zalmunna.”
6 Kodwa izikhulu zaseSukhothi zathi, “Usulazo mathupha yini izandla zikaZebha loZalimuna? Kungani amabutho akho kumele siwanike izinkwa?”
Na mwet kol lun acn Sukkoth elos fahk nu sel, “Efu ku kut in sang mongo nu sin mwet mweun lom an? Kom soenna sruokilya Zebah ac Zalmunna.”
7 UGidiyoni waphendula wathi, “Ngenxa yalokho, lapho uThixo esenikele uZebha loZalimuna esandleni sami, ngizaklaya imizimba yenu ngameva asenkangala.”
Na Gideon el topuk nu selos, “Fin ouingan, LEUM GOD El fin ase Zebah ac Zalmunna nu inpouk, nga ac fah use kokul ac mah fakfuk yen mwesis uh ac sang sringil kowos.”
8 Esuka lapho waya ePheniweli, wenza isicelo esifanayo kubo, kodwa baphendula njengabantu beSukhothi.
Na Gideon el som nu Penuel ac ngisre mwet we oana ke el tuh ngisre mwet Sukkoth ah, ac mwet we elos topkol oapana mwet Sukkoth ah.
9 Ngakho wathi ebantwini basePheniweli, “Ekuphendukeni kwami senginqobile, ngizawudiliza umphotshongo lo.”
Na Gideon el fahk nu sin mwet Penuel, “Ke nga ac kutangla foloko, nga ac kunausya tower se inge!”
10 Ngalesosikhathi uZebha loZalimuna babeseKhakhori lebutho labantu ababephosa babe zinkulungwane ezilitshumi lanhlanu, ababesele emabuthweni asempumalanga; izinkulungwane ezilikhulu lamatshumi amabili zababesilwa ngenkemba zasezifile.
Zebah ac Zalmunna eltal muta in acn Karkor wi mwet mweun laltal. Siofok longoul tausin mwet mweun lalos misa, ac singoul limekosr na tausin srakna moul.
11 UGidiyoni wahamba ngendlela yamasili empumalanga kweNobha leJogibheha wahlasela ibutho elalilibele.
Gideon el ut sisken yen mwesis kutulap in Nobah ac Jogbehah, ac mweuni mwet lokoalok lalos inge in lukma.
12 UZebha loZalimuna, amakhosi womabili aseMidiyani, babaleka, kodwa waxotshana labo wababamba, wawachitha wonke amabutho abo.
Zebah ac Zalmunna, tokosra luo lun mwet Midian, elos kaing, tusruktu Gideon el ukwaltal ac sruokoltal uh, na mwet mweun nukewa laltal ah fohsak.
13 Emva kwalokho uGidiyoni indodana kaJowashi wabuyela evela empini ngoKhalo lwaseHeresi.
Ke Gideon el folok liki mweun ah, el ut ke Innek In Utyak Nu Heres.
14 Wabamba ijaha laseSukhothi walibuzabuza, ijaha lelo lamlobela amabizo eziphathamandla zaseSukhothi ezingamatshumi ayisikhombisa, abadala bomuzi.
In pacl se inge el sruokya mwet fusr Sukkoth se ac siyuk inen mwet kol lun acn Sukkoth. Na mwet fusr sac simusla inen mwet itngoul itkosr ac sang nu sel Gideon.
15 UGidiyoni wafika wathi ebantwini baseSukhothi, “Nangu uZebha loZalimuna elalingichothoza ngabo lisithi, ‘Usulazo yini izandla zikaZebha loZalimuna? Kungani amabutho akho akhatheleyo kumele siwanike izinkwa na?’”
Na Gideon el folokla nu yurin mwet Sukkoth ac fahk, “Kowos esam ke kowos tuh srunga kasreyu? Kowos tuh fahk mu kowos ac tia ase mwe mongo nu sin mwet luk inge, ke sripen nga soenna sruokilya Zebah ac Zalmunna. Liye, eltal a inge!”
16 Wathatha abadala bomuzi wasefundisa amadoda aseSukhothi isifundo ngokubajezisa ngameva asenkangala.
Na el eis kokul ac mwe fakfuk in acn mwesis uh sang akkeokye mwet kol lun Sukkoth.
17 Wadiliza lomphotshongo wasePheniweli wabulala amadoda akulowomuzi.
El oayapa kunausya tower in acn Penuel ac uniya mwet we.
18 Wabuza uZebha loZalimuna wathi, “Ngabantu abanjani labo elababulalayo eThabhori?” Baphendula bathi, “Ngabantu abanjengawe, lowo lalowo efana lenkosana.”
Na Gideon el siyuk sel Zebah ac Zalmunna, “Fuka luman mwet komtal tuh uniya in acn Tabor ah?” Eltal topuk nu sel ac fahk, “Elos oana kom. Elos nukewa oana luman wen nutin tokosra uh.”
19 UGidiyoni waphendula wathi, “Labobantu babengabafowethu, amadodana kamama. Ngeqiniso njengoba uThixo ephila, aluba labayekela bephila, kade bengingeyikulibulala.”
Na Gideon el fahk, “Elos ma wiuk, ma nutin nina kiuk ah. Nga fulahk nu sumtal, komtal funu tia onelosi, nga lukun tia pac uni komtal uh.”
20 Wasephendukela kuJetha, indodana yakhe endala, wathi, “Babulale!” Kodwa uJetha kayihwatshanga inkemba yakhe, ngoba wayengumfanyana esesaba.
Na el forang nu sel Jether, wen se omeet natul ah, ac fahk, “Oneltalu!” Tusruktu tulik sac tiana faisak cutlass natul ah, mweyen el srakna fusr, oru el sangeng.
21 UZebha loZalimuna bathi, “Woza, usibulale wena ngokwakho. ‘Njengoba indoda injalo, anjalo lamandla ayo.’” Ngakho uGidiyoni wasondela phambili wababulala, wasethatha imiceciso entanyeni zamakamela abo.
Na Zebah ac Zalmunna fahk nu sel Gideon, “Fahsru sifacna unikuti. Fal sie mukul in orekma in mukul.” Na Gideon el oneltalu, ac eisla mwe naweyuk liki inkwawen camel natultal ah.
22 Abako-Israyeli bathi kuGidiyoni, “Sibuse wena, lendodana yakho kanye lendodana yendodana yakho ngoba usisindisile ezandleni zamaMidiyani.”
Tukun ma inge, mwet Israel elos fahk nu sel Gideon, “Kom in leum facsr — kom ac fwil nutum an — mweyen kom molikutla liki mwet Midian.”
23 Kodwa uGidiyoni wathi kubo, “Mina kangiyikulibusa, lendodana yami kayiyikulibusa. UThixo uzalibusa.”
Ac Gideon el fahk nu selos, “Nga ac fah tia leum fowos, oayapa wen nutik ac fah tia leum fowos. LEUM GOD El fah leum fowos.”
24 Wabuya wathi, “Ngilesicelo esisodwa, ukuthi omunye lomunye wenu angiphe icici esabelweni sempango yenu.” (Ukufaka amacici egolide kwakungumkhuba wama-Ishumayeli.)
Na el sifilpa fahk, “Nga ke siyuk ma se suwos. Kais sie suwos in ase nu sik yaring ma kowos eisla sin mwet Midian.” (Mweyen mwet Midian elos oana mwet forfor yen mwesis wialos uh, elos sracsra yaring.)
25 Baphendula bathi, “Sizathaba ukukunika wona.” Ngakho bendlala ingubo, kwathi umuntu ngamunye waphosela kuyo icici lempango yakhe.
Ac elos topuk nu sel, “Kut insewowo in asot ma inge nu sum.” Elos laknelik nuknuk se, ac kais sie selos sang ma oasr sel.
26 Isisindo samacici egolide ayewacelile saba ngamashekeli angamakhulu alitshumi lesikhombisa, kungabalwa izigqizo lemigaxo lezembatho eziyibubende ezigqokwa ngamakhosi aseMidiyani loba amaketane ayesezintanjeni zamakamela awo.
Toasriyen yaring gold ma orekeni inge yohk liki paun angngaul, sayen na mwe naweyuk ac walwal ac nuknuk sroninmutuk lun tokosra luo ah, ku mwe yun ke kwawen camel natultal ah.
27 UGidiyoni wenza isithombe ngegolide lelo, wasibeka e-Ofira, umuzi wakibo. Bonke abako-Israyeli bazingcolisa ngokusikhonza khonapho, njalo saba ngumjibila kuGidiyoni labendlu yakhe.
Na Gideon el orala sie ma sruloala ke gold ma el eisani inge, ac el filiya in acn sel sifacna, Ophrah. Mwet Israel nukewa elos forla liki God, ac elos som ac alu nu ke ma sruloala se inge, su kwasrip se nu sel Gideon ac sou lal.
28 IMidiyani yanqotshwa kanjalo ngabako-Israyeli njalo kayizange ivuse ikhanda futhi. Ngezinsuku zokuphila kukaGidiyoni ilizwe laba lokuthula iminyaka engamatshumi amane.
Ouinge mwet Israel elos kutangla mwet Midian, ac mwet Midian elos tia sifil orek lokoalok nu selos. Acn Israel muta in misla ke lusen yac angngaul, nwe ke pacl se Gideon el misa.
29 UJerubhi-Bhali indodana kaJowashi wabuyela ekhaya ukuyahlala khona.
Gideon el folokla nu in acn sel ac muta we.
30 Wayelamadodana angamatshumi ayisikhombisa angawakhe ngoba wayelabafazi abanengi.
Oasr wen itngoul natul, mweyen pus mutan kial.
31 Umkakhe weceleni, owayehlala eShekhemu, laye wamzalela indodana ayithi ngu-Abhimelekhi.
Oasr pac mutan kulansap se kial in acn Shechem, ac el oswela pac wen se nu sel Gideon, ac Gideon el sang inel Abimelech.
32 UGidiyoni indodana kaJowashi wafa eseluphele kakhulu wangcwatshwa ethuneni likayise uJowashi e-Ofira yama-Abhiyezeri.
Gideon, wen natul Joash, el misa ke el arulana matu, ac elos piknilya yurin papa tumal in acn Ophrah, acn sin ota lal Abiezer.
33 Masinyane nje uGidiyoni esanda kufa abako-Israyeli bazingcolisa njalo ngokukhonza oBhali. Bamisa uBhali-Bherithi njengonkulunkulu wabo
Tukun Gideon el misa, mwet Israel elos sifilpa forla liki God ac alu nu sin Baal. Elos eisal Baal-lun-Wuleang tuh elan god lalos.
34 kabaze bamkhumbula uThixo uNkulunkulu wabo owayebahlenge ezandleni zezitha zabo ezinhlangothini zonke.
Elos tia sifil kulansap nu sin LEUM GOD lalos, su tuh molelosla liki mwet lokoalok nukewa lalos su raunelosla.
35 Njalo kababanga lomusa kwabendlu kaJerubhi-Bhali (uGidiyoni) ngezinto zonke ezinhle ayebenzele zona.
Ac elos tia pac akilen sou lal Gideon ke orekma wo puspis el tuh oru nu selos ah.
