1 Israaʼeloonni fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjetan; innis dabarsee waggaa torbaaf harka Midiyaanotaatti isaan kenne.
Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebesenza okubi emehlweni eNkosi; iNkosi yasibanikela esandleni sikaMidiyani iminyaka eyisikhombisa.
2 Israaʼeloonni sababii harki Midiyaanotaa isaanitti jabaateef tulluuwwan irratti, holqaa fi daʼannoo jabaa keessatti ofii isaaniitiif iddoo jiraatanii fi iddoo itti daʼatan qopheeffatan.
Lesandla sikaMidiyani saba lamandla phezu kukaIsrayeli. Ngenxa kaMidiyani abantwana bakoIsrayeli bazenzela imihume esezintabeni, lembalu, lezinqaba.
3 Yeroo Israaʼeloonni midhaan facaafatan hunda Midiyaanonni, Amaaleqoonnii fi namoonni baʼa biiftuu kaan dhufanii isaan weeraru turan.
Kwasekusithi uIsrayeli esehlanyele, enyuka amaMidiyani lamaAmaleki labantwana bempumalanga, benyuka bamelana labo,
4 Achis qubatanii midhaan hamma Gaazaatti jiru hundumaa balleessan; isaan waan lubbuu qabu hoolota, loon yookaan harroota tokko illee Israaʼelootaaf hin hambifne.
bamisa inkamba maqondana labo, bachitha izithelo zelizwe, uze ufike eGaza, njalo kabatshiyanga okondlayo koIsrayeli loba imvu loba inkabi loba ubabhemi.
5 Akkuma tuuta hawwaannisaattis horii fi dunkaana isaanii fudhatanii isaan irra yaaʼan. Namootaa fi gaalawwan isaanii lakkaaʼuun hin dandaʼamu ture; isaanis biyya sana barbadeessuudhaaf weeraran.
Ngoba bona benyuka lezifuyo zabo lamathente abo, bafika njengokugcwala kwentethe ngobunengi, okokuthi bona lamakamela abo babengelanani; basebengena elizweni ukulichitha.
6 Sababii Midiyaanonni akka malee isaan hiyyoomsaniif Israaʼeloonni gargaarsa barbaacha gara Waaqayyootti iyyatan.
UIsrayeli wasesiba ngumyanga kakhulu ngenxa yamaMidiyani, labantwana bakoIsrayeli bakhala eNkosini.
7 Yeroo Israaʼeloonni sababii Midiyaanotaatiif gara Waaqayyootti iyyatanitti,
Kwasekusithi lapho abantwana bakoIsrayeli bekhala eNkosini ngenxa yamaMidiyani,
8 inni raajii akkana jedhee dubbatu tokko isaaniif erge; “Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: Ani biyya Gibxi, biyya garbummaatii baaseen isin fide.
iNkosi yathuma umprofethi kubantwana bakoIsrayeli, owathi kibo: Itsho njalo iNkosi, uNkulunkulu wakoIsrayeli: Mina ngalenyusa lisuka eGibhithe ngalikhupha endlini yobugqili,
9 Ani humna warra Gibxii fi harka cunqursitootaa jalaa isin furee fuula keessan duraas ariʼee isaan baasee biyya isaanii isinii kenneera.
ngalihluthuna esandleni samaGibhithe, lesandleni sabo bonke abalicindezelayo, ngabaxotsha phambi kwenu, ngalinika ilizwe labo,
10 Isiniinis, ‘Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan; waaqota Amoorotaa kanneen isin biyya isaanii keessa jiraattan sanaa hin waaqeffatinaa’ jedheera. Isin garuu sagalee koo hin dhageenye.”
ngathi kini: NgiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu; lingesabi onkulunkulu bamaAmori elihlala elizweni lawo. Kodwa kalililalelanga ilizwi lami.
11 Ergamaan Waaqayyoos ganda Ofraa jedhamu dhufee qilxuu Yooʼaash namicha sanyii Abiiʼezer sanaa jala taaʼe; Gidewoon ilmi Yooʼaash immoo akka Midiyaanonni hin argineef iddoo wayiniin itti cuunfamutti dhoksee qamadii dhaʼata ture.
Kwasekufika ingilosi yeNkosi, yahlala ngaphansi kwesihlahla se-okhi esiseOfira, esasingesikaJowashi umAbiyezeri, lendodana yakhe uGidiyoni yayibhula ingqoloyi esikhamelweni sewayini, ukuze iyifihlele amaMidiyani.
12 Ergamaan Waaqayyoos isatti mulʼatee, “Yaa loltuu goota nana, Waaqayyo si wajjin jira” jedheen.
Ingilosi yeNkosi yasibonakala kuye, yathi kuye: INkosi ilawe, qhawe elilamandla.
13 Gidewoon garuu akkana jedhee deebise; “Garuu yaa gooftaa, utuu Waaqayyo nu wajjin jiraatee wanni kun hundi maaliif nurra gaʼa? Dinqiiwwan isaa kanneen abbootiin keenya, ‘Waaqayyo biyya Gibxiitii nu baaseera’ jedhanii nutti himan sun hundi eessa jiru ree? Amma garuu Waaqayyo nu dhiisee harka Midiyaanotaatti dabarsee nu kenneera.”
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.
14 Waaqayyo gara Gidewoonitti garagalee, “Humna qabdu kanaan dhaqiitii harka Midiyaanotaa jalaa Israaʼeloota bilisa baasi. Anatu si ergaa jira mitii?” jedheen.
INkosi yasiphendukela kuye yathi: Hamba ngalamandla akho, ukhulule uIsrayeli esandleni samaMidiyani. Kangikuthumanga yini?
15 Gidewoon garuu, “Yaa Gooftaa, gosti koo sanyii Minaasee keessaa baayʼee dadhabaa dha; anis maatii koo keessaa nama gad aanaa dha. Egaa ani akkamittin saba Israaʼel bilisoomsuu dandaʼa ree?” jedhee gaafate.
Wasesithi kuyo: Hawu Nkosi yami, ngizamkhulula ngani uIsrayeli? Khangela, usendo lwami lungumyanga koManase, njalo ngingomncinyane endlini kababa.
16 Waaqayyos, “Ani si wajjin jira; atis Midiyaanota hunda walitti qabdee dhoofta” jedhee deebiseef.
INkosi yasisithi kuye: Ngoba ngizakuba lawe, uzawatshaya-ke amaMidiyani njengendodanye.
17 Gidewoonis akkana jedhee deebise; “Yoo ani fuula kee duratti surraa argadhee jiraadhe, kan natti dubbachaa jiru dhugumaan siʼi taʼuu mallattoo na argisiisi.
Wasesithi kuyo: Uba khathesi ngithole umusa emehlweni akho, ngenzela isibonakaliso sokuthi nguwe okhuluma lami.
18 Maaloo hamma ani deebiʼee aarsaa koo fidee fuula kee duratti dhiʼeessutti hin deemin.” Waaqayyos, “Ani hamma ati deebitutti sin eega” jedheen.
Ake ungasuki lapha, ngize ngibuye kuwe, ngikhuphe isipho sami, ngisibeke phambi kwakho. Yasisithi: Mina ngizahlala uze uphenduke.
19 Gidewoon gara mana isaa deemee ilmoo reʼee tokko qalee qopheessee daakuu iifii tokkoo fuudhee buddeena raacitii hin qabne tolche. Foon sanas gundoo irra kaaʼee bishaan foon sanaa immoo okkoteetti naqee fiduudhaan qilxuu jalatti aarsaa isaaf dhiʼeesse.
UGidiyoni wasengena, walungisa izinyane lembuzi, lezinkwa ezingelamvubelo nge-efa lempuphu, inyama wayifaka esitsheni, lomhluzi wawufaka embizeni, wakukhuphela kuyo ngaphansi kwesihlahla se-okhi, wakusondeza.
20 Ergamaan Waaqaas, “Foonii fi Maxinoo kana fuudhiitii kattaa kana irra kaaʼi; bishaan isaa immoo dhangalaasi” jedhe. Gidewoonis akkasuma godhe.
Ingilosi kaNkulunkulu yasisithi kuye: Thatha inyama lezinkwa ezingelamvubelo, ukubeke phezu kwalelidwala, ubusuthela umhluzi. Wasesenza njalo.
21 Ergamaan Waaqayyoo sunis fiixee ulee harka isaa tureetiin foonii fi Maxinoo sana tuqe. Ibiddi kattaa keessaa baʼee foonii fi Maxinoo sana nyaate. Ergamaan Waaqayyoos fuula isaa duraa dhabame.
Ingilosi yeNkosi yasiselula isihloko somqwayi owawusesandleni sayo, yathinta inyama lezinkwa ezingelamvubelo; kwasekusenyuka umlilo uphuma edwaleni, wadla inyama lezinkwa ezingelamvubelo. Lengilosi yeNkosi yasuka emehlweni akhe.
22 Gidewoon yommuu akka ergamaa Waaqayyoo arge beeketti, “Wayyoo, yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa! Ani ifaan ifatti ergamaa Waaqayyoo argeeraatii!” jedhe.
UGidiyoni wasebona ukuthi yayiyingilosi yeNkosi. UGidiyoni wathi: Maye, Nkosi Jehova! Ngenxa yokuthi ngibone ingilosi yeNkosi ubuso ngobuso.
23 Waaqayyo garuu, “Nagaan siif haa taʼu! Hin sodaatin, ati hin duutuutii” jedheen.
Kodwa iNkosi yathi kuye: Ukuthula kakube kuwe, ungesabi, kawuyikufa.
24 Kanaafuu Gidewoon Waaqayyoof achitti iddoo aarsaa ijaaree, “Waaqayyo Nagaa dha” jedhee moggaase. Iddoon aarsaa kun hamma harʼaatti lafa Abiiʼezerootaa irra iddoo Ofraa jedhamu dhaabateera.
UGidiyoni waseyakhela iNkosi ilathi lapho, walibiza ngokuthi uJehova-shalomi. Kuze kube lamuhla lisesekhona eOfira lamaAbiyezeri.
25 Waaqayyo halkanuma sana akkana isaan jedhe; “Karra loon abbaa keetii keessaa korma lammaffaa kan waggaa torba guute tokko fuudhi. Iddoo aarsaa kan abbaan kee Baʼaaliif tolche diigi; utubaa Aasheeraa kan isa bira dhaabames jigsi.
Kwasekusithi ngalobobusuku iNkosi yathi kuye: Thatha ijongosi lenkunzi engekayihlo, ngitsho ijongosi lesibili elileminyaka eyisikhombisa, udilize ilathi likaBhali elingelikayihlo, lesixuku esiphansi kwalo usigamule;
26 Fiixee gaara kanaa irrattis Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiif iddoo aarsaa bareedaa isaa tolchi. Qoraan utubaa Aasheeraa kan jigsite sanattis fayyadamii korma lammaffaa sana aarsaa gubamu godhiitii dhiʼeessi.”
wakhele iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ilathi phezu kwengqonga yalinqaba, njengokwejwayelekileyo; ubusuthatha ijongosi lesibili, unikele umnikelo wokutshiswa ngenkuni zesixuku ozasigamula.
27 Gidewoonis hojjettoota isaa keessaa nama kudhan fudhatee akkuma Waaqayyo isatti hime sana godhe. Garuu waan maatii isaatii fi namoota magaalaa sana jiraatan sodaateef guyyaa adiin gochuu irra halkan filate.
UGidiyoni wasethatha amadoda alitshumi ezincekwini zakhe, wenza njengokutsho kweNkosi kuye; kodwa kwathi ngenxa yokuthi wayesesaba indlu kayise lamadoda omuzi ukukwenza emini, wakwenza ebusuku.
28 Ganama barii yommuu namoonni magaalaa sanaa hirribaa kaʼanitti iddoon aarsaa Baʼaal diigamee, utubaan Aasheeraas kufee kormi lammaffaan iddoo aarsaa haaraa tolfame sana irratti qalamee ture!
Lapho amadoda omuzi evuka ekuseni kakhulu, khangela, ilathi likaBhali lalidiliziwe, lesixuku esasiphansi kwalo sesiganyuliwe, lejongosi lesibili lanikelwa phezu kwelathi elaselakhiwe.
29 Isaanis, “Eenyutu waan kana hojjete?” jedhanii wal gaafatan. Yommuu gad fageenyaan qoratanittis, “Gidewoon ilma Yooʼaashitu waan kana godhe” jedhan.
Basebesithi omunye komunye: Ngubani owenze loludaba? Nxa sebedingile bebuza bathi: UGidiyoni indodana kaJowashi wenze loludaba.
30 Namoonni magaalaa sanaas Yooʼaashiin, “Ilma kee gad baasi. Inni sababii iddoo aarsaa Baʼaal diigee utubaa Aasheeraas jigseef ajjeefamuu qaba” jedhan.
Amadoda omuzi asesithi kuJowashi: Khupha indodana yakho ukuze ife, ngoba idilizile ilathi likaBhali, langoba igamule isixuku esasiphansi kwalo.
31 Yooʼaash garuu saba aariidhaan guutamee isa marse sanaan akkana jedhe; “Isin Baʼaaliif falmuu barbaaddu? Isas oolchuu feetuu? Namni isaaf falmu yoo jiraate inni ganama haa duʼu! Baʼaal utuu dhugumaan Waaqa taʼee yommuu namni tokko iddoo aarsaa isaa diigu inni of irraa dhowwuu dandaʼa ture.”
Kodwa uJowashi wathi kubo bonke ababemi ngakuye: Lina lizamlwela uBhali yini, kumbe lina limsindise? Omlwelayo uzabulawa kusesekuseni. Uba engunkulunkulu, kazilwele, ngoba ilathi lakhe lidiliziwe.
32 Kanaafuu isaan sababii inni iddoo aarsaa isaa jalaa diigeef, “Baʼaal mataan isaa haa falmatu” jechuudhaan Gidewooniin, “Yerub-Baʼaal” jedhanii waaman.
Ngakho ngalolosuku wambiza ngokuthi nguJerubali, esithi: UBhali kalwe laye, ngoba ulidilizile ilathi lakhe.
33 Ergasiis Midiyaanonni hundi, Amaaleqoonnii fi namoonni karaa baʼa biiftuu humna isaanii walitti dabalatanii Yordaanos ceʼuudhaan Sulula Yizriʼeel keessa qubatan.
Lawo wonke amaMidiyani lamaAmaleki labantwana bempumalanga babuthana ndawonye, bachapha, bamisa inkamba esigodini seJizereyeli.
34 Hafuurri Waaqayyoos dhufee Gidewoon irra buʼe; innis akka Abiiʼezeroonni isa duukaa buʼaniif waamuuf malakata afuufe.
LoMoya weNkosi wembesa uGidiyoni; wavuthela uphondo, lamaAbiyezeri abizwa emva kwakhe.
35 Guutummaa Minaasee keessas ergamoota ergate; isaanis isa duukaa buʼuuf walitti qabaman; akkasumas gara Aasheer, Zebuuloonii fi Niftaalemitti ergate; isaanis jara simachuuf gad yaaʼan.
Wasethuma izithunywa kuye wonke uManase, labo futhi babizwa emva kwakhe. Wasethuma izithunywa koAsheri lakoZebuluni lakoNafithali; basebesiza ukubahlangabeza.
36 Gidewoonis Waaqaan akkana jedhe; “Yoo ati akkuma waadaa galtetti harka kootiin Israaʼel furte,
UGidiyoni wasesithi kuNkulunkulu: Uba uzasindisa uIsrayeli ngesandla sami njengokutsho kwakho,
37 kunoo, ani wayyaa rifeensa hoolaa irraa hojjetame tokko oobdii irra nan diriirsa. Yoo rifeensa hoolaa sana qofa irra fixeensi buʼee lafti immoo goggogaa taʼe, ani akka ati akkuma jette sana harka kootiin Israaʼel furtu nan beeka.”
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.
38 Wanni sunis akkasuma taʼe. Gidewoonis guyyaa itti aanu ganamaan kaʼe; yeroo inni wayyaa rifeensa hoolaa irraa hojjetame sana micciirettis bishaan waciitii guutuutu keessaa cuunfame.
Kwasekusiba njalo. Lapho evuka ngovivi kusisa, wacindezela uboya obugundiweyo, wakhama amazolo eboyeni obugundiweyo, umganu ogcwele amanzi.
39 Kana irratti Gidewoon Waaqaan, “Natti hin dheekkamin. Amma illee waan tokkon si gaafadha. Akka ani rifeensa hoolaa sana irratti yaalii biraa godhuuf naa eeyyami. Amma immoo rifeensa sana goggogsiitii fixeensa lafatti uffisi.”
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.
40 Waaqnis halkan sana akkasuma godhe. Rifeensa hoolaa sana qofatu goggogaa ture; lafti guutuun fixeemsaan haguugamee ture.
UNkulunkulu wasesenza njalo ngalobobusuku; ngoba kwaba lokoma eboyeni obugundiweyo kuphela, kodwa emhlabathini wonke kwaba lamazolo.
