Na Awurade danee ne ho ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Fa ahoɔden a wowɔ no kɔ na kɔgye Israelfoɔ firi Midianfoɔ no nsam. Me na meresoma wo.”

Ɛberɛ a Gideon hunuu sɛ ɛyɛ Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ no, ɔteaam sɛ, “Asafo Awurade, mahunu Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ animu ne animu.”

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.”
