< 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.
Then Jerubbaal (who [is] Gideon) and all the people that [were] with him, rose early, and encamped beside the well of Harod: so that the host of the Midianites were on the north side of them by the hill of Moreh, 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 Gideon, The people that [are] with thee [are] too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, My own hand hath 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.
Now therefore, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whoever [is] fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand.
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 Gideon, The people [are] yet [too] many; bring them down to the water, and I will try them for thee there; and it shall be, [that] of whom I say to thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say to thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go.
5 Kanaafuu Gidewoon namoota gara bishaaniitti gad buuse. Waaqayyos achitti, “Warra akkuma sareetti arrabaan bishaan dhugan, warra jilbeenfatanii dhugan irraa gargari baasi” isaan jedhe.
So he brought down the people to the water: and the LORD said to Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink.
6 Namoonni dhibba sadii konyee isaaniitiin waraabbatanii dhugan. Warri hafan hundi garuu dhuguuf jilbeenfatan.
And the number of them that lapped, [putting] their hand to their mouth, were three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down 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 Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thy hand: and let all the [other] people go every man 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.
So the people took victuals in their hand, and their trumpets: and he sent all [the rest of] Israel every man to his tent, and retained those three hundred men. And the host of Midian was 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 the same night, that the LORD said to him, Arise, go down to the host; for I have delivered it into thy hand.
10 Ati yoo gad buʼuu sodaatte garuu tajaajilaa kee Fuuraa wajjin gara qubata sanaatti gad buʼiitii
But if thou fearest to go down, go thou with Phurah thy servant down to the host:
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 thou shalt hear what they say; and afterward shall thy hands be strengthened to go down to the host. Then went he down with Phurah his servant to the outside of the armed men that [were] in the host.
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 the Midianites, and the Amalekites, and all the children of the east, lay along in the valley like grasshoppers for multitude; and their camels [were] without number, as the sand by the sea side 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 when Gideon had come, behold, [there was] a man that told a dream to his fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and lo, a cake of barley-bread rolled into the host of Midian, and came to a tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned it that the tent lay along.
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 fellow answered, and said, This [is] nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: [for] into his hand hath God delivered Midian, and all the host.
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 was [so], when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and its interpretation, that he worshiped, and returned to the host of Israel, and said, Arise; for the LORD hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian.
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 he put a trumpet in every man's hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps within 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, Look on me, and do likewise: and behold, when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be [that] as I do, so shall ye do.
18 Yeroo anii fi warri na wajjin jiran hundii malakata keenya afuufnutti, isinis naannoo qubatichaa hundatti afuufaatii, ‘Waaqayyoof, Gidewooniifis’ jedhaa iyyaa.”
When I blow with a trumpet, I and all that [are] with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, [The sword] of the LORD, and of Gideon.
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.
So Gideon, and the hundred men that [were] with him, came to the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and 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 blew the trumpets, and broke the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow [with]: and they cried, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon.
21 Tokkoon tokkoon namaas naannoo qubatichaatti iddoo kennameef qabate; Midiyaanonni hundis iyyaa baqatan.
And they stood every man in his place around the camp; and all the host ran, and cried, 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 the three hundred blew the trumpets, and the LORD set every man's sword against his fellow, even throughout all the host: and the host fled to Beth-shittah in Zereroth, [and] to the border of Abel-meholah, to Tabbath.
23 Israaʼeloonnis Niftaalem, Aasheerii fi Minaasee hundumaa keessaa waamanii Midiyaanota of dura ariʼan.
And the men of Israel assembled out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued the Midianites.
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 Gideon sent messengers throughout all mount Ephraim, saying, Come down against the Midianites, and take before them the waters to Beth-barah and Jordan. Then all the men of Ephraim assembled, and took the waters to Beth-barah 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 two princes of the Midianites, Oreb and Zeeb; and they slew Oreb upon the rock Oreb, and Zeeb they slew at the wine-press of Zeeb, and pursued Midian, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the other side of Jordan.
