1 Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebesenza okubi emehlweni eNkosi; iNkosi yasibanikela esandleni sikaMidiyani iminyaka eyisikhombisa.
Israel ten Pakai mitmun thilse jeng anabol tauvin ahi. Hijeh chun Pakaiyin amaho chu kum sagi sungin Midian mite khutna ana pedoh kittan ahi.
2 Lesandla sikaMidiyani saba lamandla phezu kukaIsrayeli. Ngenxa kaMidiyani abantwana bakoIsrayeli bazenzela imihume esezintabeni, lembalu, lezinqaba.
Midiante chu akhoh behseh jengun ahi leh Israel techun ama hole aki hinso theina dingun molchung hole songkoho chuleh kulpi hoilai lai jah kisel nading akisem mun ahi.
3 Kwasekusithi uIsrayeli esehlanyele, enyuka amaMidiyani lamaAmaleki labantwana bempumalanga, benyuka bamelana labo,
Israel’ten chang le mim akitu teng’u le Midian mite le Amalek mite chuleh solam mite ahungun Israelte chu ahung ahung delkhum jiuvin ahi.

Amaho chu agamsung a chun apansaden jiuvin, alousohga ho asuhsetpeh jiuvin, Gaza changeijin Israel te gancha ho kelngoi ho le kelcha ho chuleh asangan hou achom peh jiuvin, anehdiu imacha anakhen pehji pouvin ahi.
5 Ngoba bona benyuka lezifuyo zabo lamathente abo, bafika njengokugcwala kwentethe ngobunengi, okokuthi bona lamakamela abo babengelanani; basebengena elizweni ukulichitha.
Hiche galmi ho chu agancha houleh aponbuh’u toh ahung kon jiuvin khaokho te jat aphaovin, asangongsao tamtah simsenlou ho chutoh ahung tol lutjiuvin ahi. Amaho chun agamsung chu abah gam hel tokah’un aumden jiuvin ahi.
6 UIsrayeli wasesiba ngumyanga kakhulu ngenxa yamaMidiyani, labantwana bakoIsrayeli bakhala eNkosini.
Hitichun Israel techu Midian’te jeh in kel in aum jitauvin ahi; chuphat chun Israel te chi Pakai kommah panpi ngehin ana kapjah jeng tauvin ahi.
7 Kwasekusithi lapho abantwana bakoIsrayeli bekhala eNkosini ngenxa yamaMidiyani,
Midian ten asuhgenthei jeh uva aka jah jeng phat’un
8 iNkosi yathuma umprofethi kubantwana bakoIsrayeli, owathi kibo: Itsho njalo iNkosi, uNkulunkulu wakoIsrayeli: Mina ngalenyusa lisuka eGibhithe ngalikhupha endlini yobugqili,
Pakaiyin Israelte kommah themgao khat anasoltan ahi. Aman hi tin anaseije, “Hichehi Pakai Israel te Pathenin asei ahi, ‘Ken nangho Egypt’a nasoh channaova kon na kahin puidoh u nahi tauve.
9 ngalihluthuna esandleni samaGibhithe, lesandleni sabo bonke abalicindezelayo, ngabaxotsha phambi kwenu, ngalinika ilizwe labo,
Egypt mite a konleh nang ho nasugenthei hou jousea kon nin kahin huhdoh’u nahitauve, Keiman nagal mite chu kadel mang pehun hiche gam hi nangho kapeh’u nahi tauve.
10 ngathi kini: NgiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu; lingesabi onkulunkulu bamaAmori elihlala elizweni lawo. Kodwa kalililalelanga ilizwi lami.
Keima hi Pakai na Pathen u kahi, tua nachon naova agam mi Amor mite pathen ho hi nahou louhel diu ahi, kana tin ahi, ahinlah nang hon kasei na ngai pouvin ahi,” ati.
11 Kwasekufika ingilosi yeNkosi, yahlala ngaphansi kwesihlahla se-okhi esiseOfira, esasingesikaJowashi umAbiyezeri, lendodana yakhe uGidiyoni yayibhula ingqoloyi esikhamelweni sewayini, ukuze iyifihlele amaMidiyani.
Hichejou chun Pakai Vantil chu Ophrah kiti munna thingphung lentah noiya chun ahung touvin ahi. Hiche Ophrah kitihi Abiezer phungmi Joash kitipa’a ahi. Joash chapa Gideon chu lengpi theiheh na sung a chu suhlou chang anavoh a Midian mite’a konna achaang chu sel ana go in ahi
12 Ingilosi yeNkosi yasibonakala kuye, yathi kuye: INkosi ilawe, qhawe elilamandla.
Pakai Vantil chu ahung ki lah’in ajah a, “Mi hat gal-hang nang ma Pakaiyin nang na umpi jinge,” ahintin ahi.
13 UGidiyoni wasesithi kuyo: Hawu Nkosi yami, uba iNkosi ilathi, kungani konke lokhu kusehlele? Kanti zingaphi zonke izimangaliso zayo abasitshela zona obaba besithi: INkosi kayisenyusanga siphuma eGibhithe yini? Kodwa khathesi iNkosi isidelile, yasinikela esandleni samaMidiyani.
Gideon’in adonbut in “Hepu, Pakaiyin ei umpiu va ahi leh hitobang hahsat nahi kathoh diu ham? Kapu kapateuvin, Pakaiyin thilkidang anatohdoh peh eina seipeh hochu hoilang geiyah hitam? Pakaiyin Egypt gamma konna eina puidoh’u hitalou ham? Ahin tunvang Pathen in einuse tauvin chule Midian mite khutna eipehdoh’u ahitai,” ati.
14 INkosi yasiphendukela kuye yathi: Hamba ngalamandla akho, ukhulule uIsrayeli esandleni samaMidiyani. Kangikuthumanga yini?
Hiche jouchun Pakaiyin amalam ahin ngan, “Nathahatna chu mangchan lang Midiante a kon in Israelte chu gahuhdoh tan, hiche dinga chu keiman nanghi kasol nahi,” ati.
15 Wasesithi kuyo: Hawu Nkosi yami, ngizamkhulula ngani uIsrayeli? Khangela, usendo lwami lungumyanga koManase, njalo ngingomncinyane endlini kababa.
Ahin, Gideonin adonbutnin, “Pakai ken Israel chu iti kahuhdoh joudingham? Kaphung jonghi Manasseh phung lah a alhasam pen ahin chuleh keima tah jeng jonghi kainsung lah uva aneopen kahibouve” ati.
16 INkosi yasisithi kuye: Ngoba ngizakuba lawe, uzawatshaya-ke amaMidiyani njengendodanye.
Pakaiyin Gideon komma chun, “Keiman nanga kaumpi jingding ahi. Chuleh nangman mikhatseh toh kisatto banga Midiante chu nasuhmang soh helding ahi,” ati.
17 Wasesithi kuyo: Uba khathesi ngithole umusa emehlweni akho, ngenzela isibonakaliso sokuthi nguwe okhuluma lami.
Gibeon nin adonbutnin, “Nangin neikithopi mong ding ahileh Pakaiyin kakoma hin thu asei mong monge ti kihettheina dingin melchihna khat neipen,” ati.
18 Ake ungasuki lapha, ngize ngibuye kuwe, ngikhuphe isipho sami, ngisibeke phambi kwakho. Yasisithi: Mina ngizahlala uze uphenduke.
“Keiman kahung kile kitna nakomma maichamma toding kahin choi tokahin anapotdoh hih beh’in” ati. Hichun Amanjong “nahung kilekit kahsen hikomma hin anaum jing nange,” ati.
19 UGidiyoni wasengena, walungisa izinyane lembuzi, lezinkwa ezingelamvubelo nge-efa lempuphu, inyama wayifaka esitsheni, lomhluzi wawufaka embizeni, wakukhuphela kuyo ngaphansi kwesihlahla se-okhi, wakusondeza.
Gideon gangtah’in ainlang’a achen, kelcha dongkhat aga hon’in, changbong pochakhat alan, cholsollou changlhah themkhat aga kangin ahi. Hiche jouchun asahon chu pochakhat na ahin dommin atuijong belkhat nah ahin choijin thingphung len noija anatou Vantil kommah aga luipeh tan ahi.
20 Ingilosi kaNkulunkulu yasisithi kuye: Thatha inyama lezinkwa ezingelamvubelo, ukubeke phezu kwalelidwala, ubusuthela umhluzi. Wasesenza njalo.
Pathen Vantil chun akommah, “Sa me kihon chuleh cholsolou changlhah chu songpi chunga chun koijinlang chuleh, satuichu achungah sunglhan,” ati. Chuin Gideon chun akiseipeh bangchun abollin ahi.
21 Ingilosi yeNkosi yasiselula isihloko somqwayi owawusesandleni sayo, yathinta inyama lezinkwa ezingelamvubelo; kwasekusenyuka umlilo uphuma edwaleni, wadla inyama lezinkwa ezingelamvubelo. Lengilosi yeNkosi yasuka emehlweni akhe.
Hiche jouchun Pakai Vantillin akhutna achoi atenggol mong hemmachun kelchasa le changlhah chu agah tongkhan ahileh songpi’a konchun mei ahungkou doh’in ahin choiho jouse chu akavam tan ahi. Hiche jouchun Pakai vantil chu amangtan ahi.
22 UGidiyoni wasebona ukuthi yayiyingilosi yeNkosi. UGidiyoni wathi: Maye, Nkosi Jehova! Ngenxa yokuthi ngibone ingilosi yeNkosi ubuso ngobuso.
Chutah chun Gideonin jong Pakai vantil mong mong ahinai ti ahechen tai, hichejeh chun Gideon in hitin asei tai, “Pakai, keima amangthah kahitai, ajeh chu keiman Pakai vantil chu kimaiton kakimupin ahi,” ati.
23 Kodwa iNkosi yathi kuye: Ukuthula kakube kuwe, ungesabi, kawuyikufa.
Hiche Pakaiyin adonbutnin, “Lungmong in, Imacha tiponte, kicha hih in nathi louding ahi,” ati.
24 UGidiyoni waseyakhela iNkosi ilathi lapho, walibiza ngokuthi uJehova-shalomi. Kuze kube lamuhla lisesekhona eOfira lamaAbiyezeri.
Chuphat’in, Gideonin Pakai maicham khat asemmin amin Yahweh Shalom asah in ahi (Hichu Pakai hi chamna ahi tina ahi). Hiche maicham chu Abeizer phung mite gam Ophrah munnah tuni geijin aum jing nalaijin ahi.
25 Kwasekusithi ngalobobusuku iNkosi yathi kuye: Thatha ijongosi lenkunzi engekayihlo, ngitsho ijongosi lesibili elileminyaka eyisikhombisa, udilize ilathi likaBhali elingelikayihlo, lesixuku esiphansi kwalo usigamule;
Hiche jan machun Pakaiyin Gideon kommah hitin aseipeh tai, “Napa gancha lah a kon in kum sagi lhingsa bongchal anichanna chu hinkaiyin lang, napan anatundoh Baal maicham chu volhu in lang chuleh akomma kitung Asherah doikhom chu satlha jengin.
26 wakhele iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ilathi phezu kwengqonga yalinqaba, njengokwejwayelekileyo; ubusuthatha ijongosi lesibili, unikele umnikelo wokutshiswa ngenkuni zesixuku ozasigamula.
Chujouteng leh Pakai na Pathen maicham khat hiche thinglhang leh amuntheng’ah khun tungdoh inlang, songho chu phatah in goltoh inlang, Asherah doikhom nasat lhuh chu meitina’n mangin lang bongchal chu maicham chunga chun pumgo thilto in tohdoh in,” ati.
27 UGidiyoni wasethatha amadoda alitshumi ezincekwini zakhe, wenza njengokutsho kweNkosi kuye; kodwa kwathi ngenxa yokuthi wayesesaba indlu kayise lamadoda omuzi ukukwenza emini, wakwenza ebusuku.
Hijeh chun Gideonin alhachaho mi som akipuijin Pakaiyin bollin ati bang bang chun aboltan ahi. Ahinlah khopi miho leh apa insungmi adangho akichat jeh in jannin abollin ahi.
28 Lapho amadoda omuzi evuka ekuseni kakhulu, khangela, ilathi likaBhali lalidiliziwe, lesixuku esasiphansi kwalo sesiganyuliwe, lejongosi lesibili lanikelwa phezu kwelathi elaselakhiwe.
Ajing jingkah matah in khopi miteho chu ahungtho phat’un Baal doikhom maicham chu anakivo lhutan chuleh akomma kitung Asherah doikhom jong chu ana kisat lhutan ahi, ti amudoh tauvin ahi. Hicheho khelchun maicham thah khat anakitung doh in hiche chung chun bongchal pumgo thiltoa ana kitohdohna jongchu amu uvin ahi.
29 Basebesithi omunye komunye: Ngubani owenze loludaba? Nxa sebedingile bebuza bathi: UGidiyoni indodana kaJowashi wenze loludaba.
Mipi hochu khatle khat akihouvin “Koibol ahidem atiuvin ahi?” Hitia akihoutoh leova ahin kholchil phat’un Joash chapa Gideon ahiti ahin hedoh tauve.
30 Amadoda omuzi asesithi kuJowashi: Khupha indodana yakho ukuze ife, ngoba idilizile ilathi likaBhali, langoba igamule isixuku esasiphansi kwalo.
Khopi mite hochun Joash kommah “Nachapa chu hin puidoh in, Baal maicham asuhset jehleh Asherah doikhom asat lhuh jeh a amahi thitei teiding ahi,” atiuve.
31 Kodwa uJowashi wathi kubo bonke ababemi ngakuye: Lina lizamlwela uBhali yini, kumbe lina limsindise? Omlwelayo uzabulawa kusesekuseni. Uba engunkulunkulu, kazilwele, ngoba ilathi lakhe lidiliziwe.
Ahinlah Joash chun ama ahung nokhum mipi hochu ale senjah jengin, “Ipi dinga nanghon Baal doi ding a naseipeh uva nahuh’u ham? Koi hileh ama huhna a thusei pen penchu jingle jingkah langa kithat ding ahi. Baal hi pathen dihtah mong ahileh ama chungthu aman kisei nante, chuleh ama maicham asusepen penchu aman kisuhmang nah hihding ham?” ati.
32 Ngakho ngalolosuku wambiza ngokuthi nguJerubali, esithi: UBhali kalwe laye, ngoba ulidilizile ilathi lakhe.
Hijeh chun hicheni apat chun Gideon chu Jerubbaal asah taove. Hichun “Baal chun amapa chunga aphu kilah hen” tina ahi. Ajeh chu aman Baal maicham ana vohchim ahi.
33 Lawo wonke amaMidiyani lamaAmaleki labantwana bempumalanga babuthana ndawonye, bachapha, bamisa inkamba esigodini seJizereyeli.
Hiche jouchun Midian mite le Amalek mite chuleh solam mipite hochu apangkhom’un Israel te satdingin Jordan vadung ahung galkaijin Jezreel phaichamma chun akikhom uvin ngahmun akisem tauvin ahi.
34 LoMoya weNkosi wembesa uGidiyoni; wavuthela uphondo, lamaAbiyezeri abizwa emva kwakhe.
Hichun Pakai Lhagao chu Gideon chunga apansatan ahi. Aman saki a kisem sumkon chu amut’in galsat ding mi akou khommin ahileh Abiezer phung mihochu ama kommah ahung tauvin ahi.
35 Wasethuma izithunywa kuye wonke uManase, labo futhi babizwa emva kwakhe. Wasethuma izithunywa koAsheri lakoZebuluni lakoNafithali; basebesiza ukubahlangabeza.
Aman thupo miho chu asollin Manasseh, Asher, Zebulun leh Naphtali galsat ding miho chu aga kousah in ahileh amaho abonchan ahung kon tauvin ahi.
36 UGidiyoni wasesithi kuNkulunkulu: Uba uzasindisa uIsrayeli ngesandla sami njengokutsho kwakho,
Hichun Gideonin Pathen hengah ataovin, “Nangin nanasei banga keima hi Israel te jouse huhdoh dinga neimanchah mong mong ding ahileh,
37 khangela, ngizabeka uboya bezimvu obugundiweyo ebaleni lokubhulela; uba amazolo ezakuba phezu koboya obugundiweyo kuphela, lokoma emhlabathini wonke, ngizakwazi-ke ukuthi uzamsindisa uIsrayeli ngesandla sami, njengokutsho kwakho.
Hitichun neihetchet sah in, keiman tujan tengleh amulnei kelngoivun hi changvohna phol chunga kakoiding ahi. Hiche kelngoivun hi jingkah tengleh daitwi anachapnou inlang amavang tol hi anagotna hileh nasei banga chu Israel tehi huhdohna dinga neimanchah got ahite kahet chet nading hihen,” ati.
38 Kwasekusiba njalo. Lapho evuka ngovivi kusisa, wacindezela uboya obugundiweyo, wakhama amazolo eboyeni obugundiweyo, umganu ogcwele amanzi.
Hitobang chetchun thilchu anasoh doh tan ahi. Ajing jingkah chun Gideon amatah in athoudoh in kelngoivun chu aheh a ahileh twi khonkhat dimset ahungdoh in ahi.
39 UGidiyoni wasesithi kuNkulunkulu: Ulaka lwakho lungangivutheli, ngizakhuluma khathesi kuphela; ake ngihlole khathesi kuphela ngoboya obugundiweyo; ake kube lokoma eboyeni obugundiweyo kuphela, lemhlabathini wonke kakube lamazolo.
Chujouchun Gideonin Pathen kommah hitin asei kit’e, “Neilunghan hihbeh in, thilkhat kathumbe nom nalaije. Hiche kelngoivun hi mangcha a hetchetna khat neipehbe nahlai ding kadeije. Tuchung hin hiche kelngoivun hi gotsah inlang, vella tol hi daitwi anachetsah in,” atin ahi.
40 UNkulunkulu wasesenza njalo ngalobobusuku; ngoba kwaba lokoma eboyeni obugundiweyo kuphela, kodwa emhlabathini wonke kwaba lamazolo.
Hiche jan jong chun Pathen’in Gideon ngeh bangchun ana bolkit peh kit in, kelngoivun agotsah in chule tollhang bou chu daitwi in ana chapkot in ahi.
