1 VaIsraeri vakaitazve zvakaipa pamberi paJehovha, uye akavaisa mumaoko avaMidhiani kwamakore manomwe.
HANA hewa iho la na mamo a Iseraela imua o Iehova, a haawi ae la o Iehova ia lakou i ka lima o ko Midiana, i ehiku makahiki.
2 Nokuda kwokuti ruoko rwavaMidhiani rwakavadzvinyirira kwazvo, vaIsraeri vakazvigadzirira nzvimbo dzokuvanda mumakomo, mumapako uye nenhare.
Ikaika loa iho la ka lima o ko Midiana maluna o ka Iseraela; a hana ae la ka poe mamo a Iseraela i na lua no lakou, mai na maka aku o ko Midiana, aia ma na mauna, a i na ana hoi, a me na puukaua.
3 VaIsraeri vaingoti vakadyara mbeu dzavo, vaMidhiani, vaAmareki navamwe vanhu vokumabvazuva, vaiuya kuzorwisa nyika yavo.
A i ka manawa i lulu ai ka Iseraela, alaila, pii mai la ko Midiana, a me ka Amaleka, a me ka poe noho ma ka hikina, hele ku e mai la lakou.
4 Vakadzika misasa yavo munyika uye vakaparadza zvirimwa kubva kuGaza yose, uye havana kusiyira vaIsraeri chinhu, makwai, mombe kana mbongoro.
A hoomoana ku e mai la, a hoopau iho la i na mea kupu o ka honua, a hiki aku i Gaza, aole i waiho i kekahi mea ola na ka Iseraela, aole i pa hipa, aole i ka bipi, aole i ka hoki.
5 Vakauya nezvipfuwo zvavo namatende avo vakawanda sechimokoto chemhashu. Zvakanga zvisingagoneki kuti uverenge vanhu nengamera dzavo; vakapinda munyika kuti vaiparadze.
Pii mai la lakou me ko lakou holoholona, a me ko lakou mau halelewa, hele mai lakou, e like me na uhini ka nui loa; o lakou a me ko lakou poe kamelo, he poe mea helu ole ia; a komo lakou i ka aina, e luku iho.
6 VaMidhiani vakaita kuti vaIsraeri vave varombo zvokuti vakachema kuna Jehovha kuti avabatsire.
Hune loa iho la ka Iseraela, no ko Midiana, a hea aku la na mamo a Iseraela ia Iehova.
7 VaIsraeri vakati vachema kuna Jehovha nokuda kwavaMidhiani,
A i ka wa i hea aku ai na mamo a Iseraela ia Iehova no ko Midiana,
8 Akatuma muprofita, akati kwavari, “Zvanzi naJehovha: Mwari waIsraeri: Ndakakubudisai kubva muIjipiti, munyika youtapwa.
Alaila, hoouna mai o Iehova i kekahi kanaka, he kaula, i mai la ia ia lakou, Penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, Na'u no oukou i lawe mai nei, mai Aigupita mai, a hoopuka mai ia oukou, mai loko mai o ka halehooluhi;
9 Ndakakubvutai kubva musimba reIjipiti, nokubva muruoko rwavadzvinyiriri venyu vose. Ndakavadzinga pamberi penyu ndikakupai nyika yavo.
Hoopakele ae au ia oukou, mai ka lima ae o ko Aigupita, a mai ka lima aku o ka poe a pau i hooluhihewa mai ia oukou, a kipaku aku la au ia lakou, mai ko oukou alo aku, a haawi aku la au i ko lakou aina no oukou.
10 Ndakati kwamuri, ‘Ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu, musanamata vamwari vavaAmori, vamugere munyika yavo.’ Asi hamuna kunditeerera.”
I aku la au ia oukou, Owau no o Iehova, o ko oukou Akua. Mai makau oukou i na'kua o ka Amora, na mea nona ka aina, a oukou e noho ai. Aka, aole oukou i hoolohe i ko'u leo.
11 Mutumwa waJehovha akauya akagara pasi pomuouki muOfira raJoashi muAbhiezeri, paipurwa gorosi naGidheoni mwanakomana wake muchisviniro chewaini, kuti aivanze kubva kuvaMidhiani.
Hele mai la ka anela o Iehova, noho iho la malalo iho o kekahi laau oka, ma Opera no Ioasa, he kanaka no ko Abiezera. E hahi ana kana keiki o Gideona i ka huapalaoa, ma kahi kaomi waina, i nalo i ko Midiana.
12 Mutumwa waJehovha akati azviratidza kuna Gidheoni, akati kwaari, “Jehovha anewe, iwe murume wesimba noumhare.”
Ikea aku la ka anela o ka Haku e ia, i mai la ia ia, Eia pu no me oe o Iehova, e ke kanaka koa loa.
13 Gidheoni akapindura akati, “Asika, ishe wangu, kana Jehovha anesu, seiko izvi zvose zvakaitika kwatiri? Zvishamiso zvake zvose zviripiko zvatakaudzwa namadzibaba edu pavakati, ‘Jehovha haana kutibudisa muIjipiti here?’ Asi zvino Jehovha akatisiya uye akatiisa muruoko rwavaMidhiani.”
I aku la o Gideona ia ia, e kuu Haku e, ina o Iehova kekahi pu me makou, no ke aha la makou i loohia i keia mau mea a pau? Auhea kana mau hana mana nui, a ko makou poe makua i hai mai ai ia makou, i ka i ana mai, Aole anei i lawe mai o Iehova ia kakou, mai Aigupita mai? Aka, ua haalele mai o Iehova ia kakou, a ua haawi ia kakou iloko o na lima o ko Midiana.
14 Jehovha akatendeukira kwaari akati, “Enda nesimba raunaro uponese Israeri muruoko rwavaMidhiani. Handizini ndakutuma here?”
Nana mai la o Iehova ia ia, i mai la, Ma keia mana ou, e hele ai oe, a e hoola no oe i ka Iseraela mai ka lima ae o ko Midiana. Aole anei au i hoouna aku ia oe?
15 Gidheoni akabvunza akati, “Asika Ishe, ndingaponesa Israeri seiko? Imba yangu ndiyo dukusa maManase, uye ini ndiri mudukusa mumhuri yangu.”
I aku la keia ia ia, E kuu Haku, Pehea la wau e hoola'i i ka Iseraela? He nawaliwali ko'u hanauna i ka Manase a pau; a ua liilii au iloko o ka hale o ko'u makua.
16 Jehovha akapindura akati, “Ndichava newe, uye iwe uchauraya vaMidhiani vose pamwe chete.”
I mai la o Iehova ia ia, Owau pu kekahi me oe, a e luku aku oe i ko Midiana, e like me ke kanaka hookahi.
17 Gidheoni akapindura akati, “Zvino kana ndawana nyasha pamberi penyu, ndipei chiratidzo kuti ndizive kuti ndimi munotaura neni.
I aku la keia ia ia, Ina i loaa ia'u ka lokomaikaiia mai imua ou, e haawi mai oe i hoailona no kou kamailio ana mai ia'u.
18 Ndapota hangu, musabva pano kusvikira ndadzoka uye ndauya nechipiriso changu ndigochiisa pamberi penyu.” Uye Jehovha akati, “Ndichamira pano kusvikira wadzoka.”
Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, Mai hele aku oe, a hiki mai au i ou la, a lawe mai i ko'u mohai makana, a waiho imua ou. I mai la kela, E kakali no wau, a hoi hou mai oe.
19 Gidheoni akapinda, akandogadzira mbudzana, uye akaita chingwa chisina kuviriswa cheefa youpfu hwakatsetseka. Akaisa nyama mudengu uye muto wayo akauisa muhari, akabuda nazvo akazvipa kwaari pasi pomuouki.
Hele aku la o Gideona iloko, a hoomakaukau iho la i keiki kao, a i palaoa hu ole, i hookahi epa; a waiho iho la i ka io iloko o ka hinai, a o ke kai, waiho iho la ia maloko o ka ipu, a lawe ae la ia, io na la malalo o Ka laau oka, a haawi aku la.
20 Mutumwa waMwari akati kwaari, “Tora nyama nechingwa chisina mbiriso, uzviise paruware urwu, uye ugodirapo muto wacho.” Uye Gidheoni akaita saizvozvo.
I mai la ka anela o ke Akua ia ia, E lawe oe i ka io, a i ka palaoa hu ole, a e waiho maluna o keia pohaku, a e ninini iho i ke kai. A hana iho la ia pela.
21 Mutumwa waJehovha akagunzva nyama nechingwa chisina mbiriso nomuromo wetsvimbo yaiva muruoko rwake. Moto wakabuda paruware, ukapisa nyama nechingwa. Ipapo mutumwa waJehovha akanyangarika.
Alaila, o aku la ka anela o Iehova i ka welau o ke kookoo, ma kona lima, a hoopa iho la i ka io, a me ka palaoa hu ole; a pii ae la ke ahi, mai loko ae o ka pohaku, a hoopau ae la i ka io, a me ka palaoa hu ole. Alaila, hele aku la ka anela o ka Haku, mai kona alo aku.
22 Gidheoni akati aziva kuti akanga ari mutumwa waJehovha, akadanidzira akati, “Maiwe, Ishe Jehovha! Ndaona mutumwa waJehovha chiso nechiso!”
A ike maopopo ae la o Gideona, he anela ia no Iehova, i iho la o Gideona, Auwe, e ka Haku, e Iehova e! no ka mea, ua ike au i kekahi anela o Iehova, he maka no he maka.
23 Asi Jehovha akati kwaari, “Rugare! Usatya. Hausi kuzofa.”
I mai la o Iehova ia ia, Aloha oe. Mai makou oe, aole oe e make.
24 Saka Gidheoni akavakira Jehovha aritari ipapo akaitumidza kuti Jehovha Ndiye Rugare. Nanhasi ichakamirapo muOfira ravaAbhiezeri.
Alaila hana iho la o Gideona i kuahu malaila, no Iehova, a kapa aku la oia ia mea, o Iehova-aloha. Aia no ia i keia la, ma Opera, no ka Abiezera.
25 Usiku hwacho ihwohwo Jehovha akati kwaari, “Tora hando yechipiri kubva pamombe dzababa vako iyo ina makore manomwe. Uputsire pasi aritari yababa vako yaBhaari uye ugotema danda raAshera riri pairi.
Ia po no, olelo mai o Iehova ia ia, E kii oe i bipi opiopio, i ka bipi a kou makuakane, a me kekahi bipi ehiku makahiki, a e hoohiolo i ka lele o Baala, a kou makuakane, a e kua ilalo i ke kii o Asetarota e ku kokoke ana me ia;
26 Ipapo ugovakira Jehovha Mwari wako aritari kwayo pamusoro penhare iyi. Utore hando yechipiri ugoibayira sechipiriso chinopiswa uchishandisa huni dzedanda raAshera rawakatema.”
A e hana oe i kuahu no Iehova, no kou Akua, me ka hoonohonoho pono, maluna o keia wahi paa; a e lawe oe i ka lua o na bipi, a e kaumaha aku i mohai kuni, me ka wahie o ua kii o Asetarota la, au e kua'i.
27 Saka Gidheoni akatora varanda vake gumi akaita sezvaakaudzwa naJehovha. Asi nokuda kwokuti akanga achitya vemhuri yake uye navanhu vomuguta, akaita izvi usiku pano kuzviita masikati.
Alaila lawe ae la o Gideona, i umi kanaka o kona poe kauwa, a hana iho la e like me ka Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia ia. Eia kekahi, no kona makau ana i ko ka hale o kona makua, a i na kanaka o ke kulanakauhale, aole ia i hana i ke ao, aka, hana no ia i ka po.
28 Vanhu vomuguta vakati vachimuka mangwanani, vakaona heyo aritari yaBhaari yakaputswa, nedanda raAshera parutivi rwayo rakatemwa, uye hando yechipiri yakabayirwa paaritari itsva yakanga yavakwa!
A i ke ala ana o na kanaka o ke kulanakauhale i kakahiaka nui, aia hoi, na hoohioloia ka lele o Baala, a ua kuaia ke kii o Asetarota e kokoke ana, a na kanmahaia ka lua o ka bipi maluna o ke kuahu i hanaia.
29 Vakabvunzana vakati, “Ndianiko aita izvi?” Vakati vanyatsoferefeta, vakaudzwa kuti, “Gidheoni mwanakomana waJoashi ndiye aita izvi.”
I ae la kekahi i kekahi, Nawai la i hana i keia mea? Imi lakou a ninau hoi; alaila, haiia mai la, Na Gideona, ke keiki a Ioasa, i hana i keia mea.
30 Vanhu vomuguta vakati kuna Joashi, “Budisa mwanakomana wako. Anofanira kufa, nokuti akaputsa aritari dzaBhaari uye akatema danda raAshera parutivi payo.”
Alaila olelo aku la na kanaka o ke kulanakauhale ia Ioasa, E lawe mai oe i kau keikikane iwaho, i make ia; no ka mea, ua hoohiolo oia i ke kuahu o Baala, a ua kua oia ilalo i ke kii o Asetarota e kokoke ana me ia.
31 Asi Joashi akapindura ungano yakanga ine hasha kwazvo yakamukomberedza akati, “Ko, imi munoda kurwira Bhaari here? Muri kuda kuedza kumuponesa here? Ani naani achamurwira achaurayiwa mangwanani ano! Kana Bhaari ari mwari chaiye, anogona kuzvidzivirira kana mumwe munhu achiputsa aritari yake.”
Olelo aku la o Ioasa i na kanaka a pau i ku e mai ia ia, E hakaka anei oukou mamuli o Baala? E hoola anei oukou ia ia? O ka mea e hakaka mamuli ona, e make ia, i keia kakahiaka. Ina he akua ia, e hakaka oia mamuli ona iho, no ka hoohiolo ana o kekahi i kona lele.
32 Saka pazuva iroro vakatumidza Gidheoni zita rokuti, “Jerubhi-Bhaari,” vachiti, “Bhaari ngaarwe naye, nokuti akaputsa aritari yaBhaari.”
Nolaila kapa aku la oia ia ia i kela la, o i Ierubaala, i ae la, Na Baala e hakaka me ia, no ka mea, na hoohiolo oia i kona kuahu.
33 Zvino vaMidhiani, vaAmareki navamwe vanhu vokumabvazuva vakabatana vakayambuka Jorodhani vakandodzika matende avo muMupata weJezireeri.
Alaila akoakoa mai la ko Midiana a pau, a me ka Ameleka, a me ka poe noho ma ka hikina, hele ae la, a hoomoana iho la ma ka papu o Iezereela.
34 Ipapo mweya waJehovha wakauya pamusoro paGidheoni, uye akaridza hwamanda, achidana vaAbhiezeri kuti vamutevere.
Uhi mai la ka Uhane o Iehova maluna o Gideona, a puhi iho la ia i ka pu, a akoakoa mai la ka Abiezera mamuli ona.
35 Akatuma nhume munyika yose yaManase, achivakoka kuhondo, uyewo muAsheri, Zebhuruni neNafutari, kuti naivowo vakwidze kundosangana navo.
A hoouna aku la ia i na luna i ka Manase a pau, a akoakoa mai la lakou mamuli ona; a hoouna aku la oia i na luna i ka Asera, a i ka Zebuluna, a i ka Napetali, a pii mai la lakou e halawai me ia poe.
36 Gidheoni akati kuna Mwari, “Kana muchizoponesa Israeri noruoko rwangu sezvamakavimbisa,
I aku la o Gideona ia Iehova, Ina e hook mai oe i ka Iseraela ma ko'u lima, e like me kau i olelo mai ai,
37 tarirai, ndichaisa chisumbu chewuru paburiro. Kana dova rikava pachisumbu chewuru chete uye pasi pose pakaoma, ipapo ndichaziva kuti muchaponesa Israeri noruoko rwangu, sezvamakareva.”
E halii au i huluhulu ma kahi e hehi ai i ka palaoa; a ina he hau ma ka huluhulu wale no, a e maloo ka honua e a pau, alaila, e ike pono an, e hoola no oe i ka Iseraela ma ko'u lima, e like me kau i olelo mai ai.
38 Uye izvi ndizvo zvakaitika. Gidheoni akamuka mangwanani ezuva rakatevera; akasvina chisumbu chewuru akabudisa dova, akazadza mbiya nemvura.
Eia hoi, i kona ala ana i kakahiaka ae, kaomi iho la oia i ka huluhulu, a uwi ae la i ke hau o ka huluhulu, a piha ka bola i ka wai.
39 Ipapo Gidheoni akati kuna Mwari, “Musanditsamwira henyu. Regai ndiite hangu chimwezve chikumbiro. Nditenderei ndiedzezve nechisumbu chewuru. Panguva ino itai kuti chisumbu chewuru chiome asi pasi pose pafukidzwe nedova.”
I aku la o Gideona i ke Akua, Mai wela mai kou huhu ia'u, a e olelo aku au i keia wale no; e ae mai oe ia'u i hookahi o'u hoao hou ana me ka huluhulu. Ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe, i maloo ma ka huluhulu wale no, a i hau hoi ma ka honua a pau.
40 Usiku ihwohwo Mwari akaita izvozvo. Wuru yakanga yakaoma; pasi pose pakanga pakafukidzwa nedova.
Ia po, hana mai ke Akua pela: na maloo ma ka huluhulu wale no, he hau no ma ka honua a pau.
