Abbootii Murtii 7
1 Yerub-Baʼaal namichi Gidewoon jedhamu sunii fi namoonni isaa hundi ganama kaʼanii burqaa Harood bira qubatan. Qubanni Midiyaanotaa iddoo namoonni Gidewoon qubatan sanaan karaa kaabaatiin gaara Mooree bira sulula keessa ture.
And Jerobaal rose early, the same is Gedeon, and all the people with him, and encamped at the fountain of Arad; and the camp of Madiam was to the north of him, [reaching] from Gabaathamorai, in the valley.
2 Waaqayyos Gidewooniin akkana jedhe; “Akka ani Midiyaanota dabarsee harka isaaniitti hin kennineef Israaʼeloonni si wajjin jiran akka male baayʼee dha. Akka sabni Israaʼel, ‘Jabina kootu na oolche’ jedhee natti hin koorreef,
And the Lord said to Gedeon, The people with you [are] many, so that I may not deliver Madiam into their hand, lest at any time Israel boast against me, saying, My hand has saved me.
3 ‘Namni sodaatee hollate kam iyyuu Tulluu Giliʼaad dhiisee gara mana isaatti haa deebiʼu’ jedhiitii amma sabatti himi.” Kanaafuu namoonni kuma digdamii lama deebiʼanii kuma kudhan achitti hafan.
And now speak in the ears of the people, saying, Who [is] afraid and fearful? let him turn and depart from mount Galaad: and there returned of the people twenty-two thousand, and ten thousand were left.
4 Waaqayyo garuu Gidewooniin akkana jedhe; “Amma iyyuu namoota baayʼeetu jira. Isaan fudhadhuutii gara bishaaniitti gad buʼi; ani achitti isaan gargari siif foʼa. Yoo ani, ‘Inni kun si wajjin ni deema’ jedhe, inni ni deema; yoo ani, ‘Inni kun si wajjin hin deemu’ jedhe garuu inni hin deemu.”
And the Lord said to Gedeon, The people is yet numerous; bring them down to the water, and I will purge them there for you: and it shall come to pass that of whoever I shall say to you, This one shall go with you, [even] he shall go with you; and of whoever I shall say to you, This one shall not go with you, [even] he shall not go with you.
5 Kanaafuu Gidewoon namoota gara bishaaniitti gad buuse. Waaqayyos achitti, “Warra akkuma sareetti arrabaan bishaan dhugan, warra jilbeenfatanii dhugan irraa gargari baasi” isaan jedhe.
And he brought the people down to the water; and the Lord said to Gedeon, Whosoever shall lap of the water with his tongue as if a dog should lap, you shall set him apart, and [also] whoever shall bow down upon his knees to drink.
6 Namoonni dhibba sadii konyee isaaniitiin waraabbatanii dhugan. Warri hafan hundi garuu dhuguuf jilbeenfatan.
And the number of those that lapped with their hand to their mouth was three hundred men; and all the rest of the people bowed upon their knees to drink water.
7 Waaqayyo Gidewooniin, “Ani namoota harka isaaniitiin dhugan dhibba sadan kanaan si furee Midiyaanota dabarsee harka keetti nan kenna. Warri kaan hundi gara qeʼee isaaniitti haa deebiʼan” jedheen.
And the Lord said to Gedeon, I will save you by the three hundred men that lapped, and I will give Madiam into your hand; and all the [rest of the] people shall go every one to his place.
8 Kanaafuu Gidewoon akka Israaʼeloonni hafan hundi gara dunkaana isaaniitti deebiʼan godhee namoota dhibba sadan garuu turfate; isaanis warra kaan irraa galaa fi malakata fudhatan. Qubanni Midiyaanotaas Gidewooniin gad sulula keessa ture.
And they took the provision of the people in their hand, and their horns; and he sent away every man of Israel each to his tent, and he strengthened the three hundred; and the army of Madiam were beneath him in the valley.
9 Halkanuma sana Waaqayyo Gidewooniin akkana jedhe; “Kaʼiitii qubata sanatti gad buʼi; ani dabarsee harka keetti siifin kennaatii.
And it came to pass in that night that the Lord said to him, Arise, go down into the camp, for I have delivered it into your hand.
10 Ati yoo gad buʼuu sodaatte garuu tajaajilaa kee Fuuraa wajjin gara qubata sanaatti gad buʼiitii
And if you are afraid to go down, go down you and your servant Phara into the camp.
11 waan isaan dubbachaa jiran dhagaʼi. Sana booddee qubata sana rukutuudhaaf jabina ni argatta.” Kanaafuu innii fi tajaajilaan isaa Fuuraan gara moggaa qubata sanaatti gad buʼan.
And you shall hear what they shall say, and afterwards your hands shall be strong, and you shall go down into the camp: and he went down and Phara his servant to the extremity of the [companies of] fifty, which were in the camp.
12 Midiyaanonni, Amaaleqoonnii fi namoonni baʼa biiftuutii dhufan hundi akkuma hoomaa hawwaannisaa walitti gobbatanii sululicha keessa qubatanii turan. Baayʼinni gaalawwan isaaniis akkuma cirracha qarqara galaanaa lakkoobsa hin qabu ture.
And Madiam and Amalec and all the children of the east [were] scattered in the valley, as the locust for multitude; and there was no number to their camels, but they were as the sand on the seashore for multitude.
13 Gidewoonis utuu namichi tokko waaʼee abjuu isaa michuu ofii isaatti himuu achi gaʼe. Namichi sunis akkana jedhe; “Ani abjuu tokko nan abjoodhe; kunoo maxinoon garbuu tokko gangalachaa dhufee qubata Midiyaanotaa irra buʼe. Innis dhufee akka dunkaanni jiguuf humnaan dhaʼe; dunkaanni sunis ni kufe.”
And Gedeon came, and behold a man [was] relating to his neighbour a dream, and he said, Behold, I have dreamt a dream, and behold, a cake of barley bread rolling into the camp of Madiam, and it came as far as a tent, and struck it, and it fell, and it turned it up, and the tent fell.
14 Michuun isaas deebisee, “Kun goraadee Gidewoon ilma Yooʼaash Israaʼelichaati malee waan biraa miti. Waaqnis Midiyaanotaa fi guutummaa qubata sanaa dabarsee harka Gidewoonitti kenneera” jedhe.
And his neighbour answered and said, This is none other than the sword of Gedeon, son of Joas, a man of Israel: God has delivered Madiam and all the host into his hand.
15 Gidewoon yommuu abjuu sanaa fi hiikkaa isaa dhagaʼetti Waaqaaf sagade. Gara qubata Israaʼelootaattis deebiʼee, “Kaʼaa! Waaqayyo qubata Midiyaanotaa dabarsee harka keessanitti kenneeraa” jedhe.
And it came to pass when Gedeon heard the account of the dream and the interpretation of it, that he worshipped the Lord, and returned to the camp of Israel, and said, Rise, for the Lord has delivered the camp of Madiam into our hand.
16 Innis namoota dhibba sadan garee sadiitti qooduudhaan, harka hunda isaaniitti malakataa fi okkotee guci keessa jiru qabachiise.
And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and put horns in the hands of all, and empty pitchers, and torches in the pitchers:
17 Gidewoonis akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Na ilaalaa; waan ani hojjedhus hojjedhaa; yommuu ani qarqara qubatichaatti dhiʼaadhutti qalbeeffadhaatii waanuma ani godhu godhaa.
and he said to them, You shall look at me, and so shall you do; and behold, I will go into the beginning of the host, and it shall come to pass [that] as I do, so shall you do.
18 Yeroo anii fi warri na wajjin jiran hundii malakata keenya afuufnutti, isinis naannoo qubatichaa hundatti afuufaatii, ‘Waaqayyoof, Gidewooniifis’ jedhaa iyyaa.”
And I will sound with the horn, and all you with me shall sound with the horn round about the whole camp, and you shall say, For the Lord and Gedeon.
19 Gidewoonii fi namoonni isa wajjin turan dhibbi sun akkuma waardiyyoonni wal geeddaraniin jalqaba eegumsa walakkaa halkaniitti qarqara qubata sanaa bira gaʼan. Isaanis malakata isaanii afuufanii okkotee harka isaanii jiru caccabsan.
And Gedeon and the hundred men that were with him came to the extremity of the army in the beginning of the middle watch; and they completely roused the guards, and sounded with the horns, and they broke the pitchers that were in their hands,
20 Gareen sadanuu malakata isaanii afuufanii okkotee harka isaanii jiru caccabsan. Harka bitaatti guca, harka mirgaatti immoo malakata afuufan qabatanii, “Goraadee Waaqayyootii fi Gidewoon!” jedhanii iyyan.
and the three companies sounded with the horns, and broke the pitchers, and held the torches in their left hands, and in their right hands their horns to sound with; and they cried out, A sword for the Lord and for Gedeon.
21 Tokkoon tokkoon namaas naannoo qubatichaatti iddoo kennameef qabate; Midiyaanonni hundis iyyaa baqatan.
And [every] man stood in his place round about the host; and all the host ran, and sounded [an alarm], and fled.
22 Yeroo malakanni dhibbi sadan sun afuufametti Waaqayyo akka namni qubata sana keessa ture tokko tokkoon goraadee isaa walitti luqqifatu godhe; raayyaan waraanaas karaa Zereeraatiin gara Beet Shiixaatti, isa biras darbanii hamma daarii Abeel Mehoolaa ishee Xabaati bira jirtu sanaatti baqatanii deeman.
And they sounded with the three hundred horns; and the Lord set [every] man's sword in all the host against his neighbour.
23 Israaʼeloonnis Niftaalem, Aasheerii fi Minaasee hundumaa keessaa waamanii Midiyaanota of dura ariʼan.
And the host fled as far as Bethseed Tagaragatha Abel-meula to Tabath; and the men of Israel from Nephthali, and from Aser, and from all Manasse, came to help, and followed after Madiam.
24 Gidewoonis guutummaa biyya gaaraa Efreemitti ergamoota ergee, “Kottaa Midiyaanotatti duulaatii bishaanota hamma Beet Baaraatti jiranii fi laga Yordaanos isaan dursaatii qabadhaa” jedhe. Kanaafuu namoonni Efreem hundi baʼanii bishaanota hamma Beet Baaraatti jiranii fi laga Yordaanos qabatan.
And Gedeon sent messengers into all mount Ephraim, saying, Come down to meet Madiam, and take to yourselves the water as far as Baethera and Jordan: and every man of Ephraim cried out, and they took the water before hand to Baethera and Jordan.
25 Akkasumas hooggantoota Midiyaanotaa lamaan jechuunis Hereebii fi Zeʼeebin qabatan. Hereeb kattaa Hereeb biratti Zeʼeeb immoo iddoo wayinii itti cuunfan kan Zeʼeebiitti ajjeesan. Isaanis Midiyaanota ariʼanii mataa Hereebii fi mataa Zeʼeeb gara gama laga Yordaanos Gidewoonitti fidan.
And they took the princess of Madiam, even Oreb and Zeb; and they killed Oreb in Sur Oreb, and they killed Zeb in Jakephzeph; and they pursued Madiam, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeb to Gedeon from beyond Jordan.
