< Vatongi 7 >
1 Mangwanani-ngwanani, Jerubhi-Bhaari (ndiye Gidheoni) navanhu vose vaiva naye vakadzika matende avo patsime raHarodhi. Musasa wavaMidhiani wakanga uri nechokumusoro kwavo mumupata waiva pedyo nechikomo cheMore.
Anɔpahema, Yerub-Baal (a ɔne Gideon) ne nʼakofo kɔɔ ara kosii Harod asu ho. Midian asraafo nso bɔɔ tukuw wɔ atifi fam wɔ obon bi a ɛbɛn More bepɔw no.
2 Jehovha akati kuna Gidheoni, “Varume vaunavo vakawandisa kuti ini ndiise vaMidhiani mumaoko avo. Kuti vaIsraeri varege kuzvikudza pamberi pangu vachiti, simba ravo ndiro ravaponesa,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Gideon se, “Akofo a wɔka wo ho no dɔɔso dodo. Sɛ mema mo nyinaa ko tia Midianfo a, Israelfo no bɛhoahoa wɔn ho akyerɛ me sɛ wɔn ara nam wɔn ahoɔden so na wogyee wɔn ho sii hɔ.
3 zivisa vanhu izvozvi kuti, ‘Ani naani ari kudedera nokutya ngaadzoke hake abve paGomo reGireadhi.’” Saka varume vanosvika zviuru makumi maviri nezviviri vakabva, kukasara zviuru gumi.
Ɛno nti, ka kyerɛ nnipa no se, ‘Obiara a ɔyɛ bɔtee anaa osuro no, onyi ne ho mfi mu na ɔnkɔ fie.’” Wɔn mu mpem aduonu abien na wɔkɔɔ fie, na ɛkaa wɔn mu mpem du a wɔpɛe sɛ wɔbɛko.
4 Asi Jehovha akati kuna Gidheoni, “Vanhu vachakangowandisa. Enda navo kumvura, uye ini ndichavasanangurira ikoko. Kana ndikati, ‘Uyu achaenda newe,’ ndiye achaenda; asi kana ndikati, ‘Uyu haafaniri kuenda newe,’ iyeye haaendi.”
Nanso Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Gideon se, “Wɔdɔɔso ara. Fa wɔn bra asu no ho na mɛsa wɔn mu ayi wɔn a wo ne wɔn bɛkɔ ne wɔn a wɔne wo renkɔ.”
5 Saka Gidheoni akatora varume akaburuka navo kumvura. Jehovha akamuudza ikoko kuti, “Paradzanisa avo vanonwa mvura vachikapa norurimi rwavo sezvinoita imbwa kubva kuna avo vanonwa vakapfugama.”
Bere a Gideon de nʼakofo no kɔɔ asu no ho no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Kyɛ nnipa no mu akuw abien. Fa nnipa a wɔbɔ nsu gu wɔn nsam na wɔde wɔn tɛkrɛma taforo no sɛ akraman no kɔ kuw baako mu. Kuw a ɛto so abien no nso, fa wɔn a wobu nkotodwe de wɔn ano nom nsu wɔ asuwa mu no hyɛ mu.”
6 Zvino uwandu hweavo vakanwa vachikapa, vachiisa maoko kumiromo yavo, hwakasvika mazana matatu. Vamwe vose vakanwa vakapfugama namabvi avo.
Mmarima no mu ahaasa pɛ na na wɔnom nsu fi wɔn nsa mu. Wɔn a aka no nyinaa nso, na wobu nkotodwe de wɔn ano nom nsu fi asuwa no mu.
7 Jehovha akati kuna Gidheoni, “Namazana matatu avarume vanwa mvura vachikapa ava, ndichakuponesai uye ndichaisa vaMidhiani mumaoko enyu. Vamwe vanhu vose ngavaende zvavo, mumwe nomumwe kunzvimbo yake.”
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Gideon se, “Menam saa mmarima ahaasa yi so begye mo, na mama moadi Midianfo no so nkonim. Ma wɔn a aka no nyinaa nkɔ fie.”
8 Saka Gidheoni akaendesa vamwe vose vavaIsraeri kumatende avo asi akasara namazana matatu, avo vakazotora mbuva nehwamanda dzavaya vamwe. Zvino musasa wavaMidhiani wakanga uri nechezasi mumupata.
Enti Gideon gyigyee wɔn akwansoduan ne ntorobɛnto fii akofo no nkyɛn ma wɔkɔɔ fie. Ɛnna ɔmaa mmarima ahaasa no kaa ne nkyɛn. Na Midianfo no atenae wɔ obon a ɛwɔ Gideon ase pɛɛ.
9 Usiku ihwohwo, Jehovha akati kuna Gidheoni, “Simuka, buruka uende kumusasa, nokuti ndiri kuzouisa mumaoko ako.
Anadwo no, Awurade kae se, “Sɔre! Kɔ Midianfo no atenae no mu wɔ ase hɔ, na mɛma mo adi wɔn so nkonim!
10 Asi kana uchitya kuenda, buruka uende kumusasa naPura muranda wako.
Na sɛ wusuro sɛ wobɛkɔ akɔtow ahyɛ wɔn so a, wo ne wo somfo Pura nkɔ hɔ.
11 Uchanzwa zvavanotaura. Shure kwaizvozvo uchanzwa kukurudzirwa kuti urwise musasa.” Saka iye naPura muranda wake vakaburuka vakasvika kuvarindi vokunze kwomusasa.
Tie nea Midianfo no reka na ɛbɛhyɛ wo nkuran. Na wo ho bɛpere wo ama woatow ahyɛ wɔn so.” Enti Gideon faa Pura kaa ne ho ne no kɔɔ atamfo no atenae no mfikyiri.
12 VaMidhiani, vaAmareki navamwe vanhu vose vokumabvazuva vakanga vagara mumupata, vakawanda semhashu. Ngamera dzavo dzakanga dzisingaverengeki, dzakawanda sejecha remahombekombe egungwa.
Saa bere no na Midianfo, Amalekfo ne nnipa no nkae a wofifi apuei fam no abɛfɔre so te sɛ mmoadabi wɔ obon no mu. Na wɔn yoma nso dodow te sɛ mpoano nwea. Wɔdɔɔso dodo!
13 Gidheoni akasvika mumwe munhu achiri kurondedzera shamwari yake kurota kwake, achiti, “Ndarota chingwa chakaurungana chichikungurukira mumusasa wavaMidhiani. Charova tende nesimba guru zvokuti tende rakudubuka rikawa.”
Gideon weawea koduu hɔ no, na ɔbarima bi reka ne dae a ɔsoo akyerɛ nʼadamfo bi se, “Mesoo dae na brodo kurukuruwa bi atew abɛhwe Midianfo atenae. Ɛkɔpem ntamadan no bi na ebu faa so ma ɛkɔhwee ase.”
14 Shamwari yake yakapindura ikati, “Hachingavi chimwe chinhu kunze kwomunondo waGidheoni mwanakomana waJoashi, muIsraeri. Mwari aisa vaMidhiani nomusasa wose mumaoko ake.”
Nʼadamfo no kae se, “Wo dae no kyerɛ ade baako pɛ. Onyankopɔn de Midian ne ne dɔm nyinaa so nkonimdi ahyɛ Yoas babarima Gideon, Israelni no nsa.”
15 Gidheoni akati anzwa kurota uku nokududzirwa kwokurota kwacho, akanamata Mwari. Akadzoka kumusasa wavaIsraeri akadanidzira achiti, “Simukai! Jehovha aisa musasa wavaMidhiani mumaoko enyu.”
Bere a Gideon tee dae no ne ne nkyerɛase no, ɔkotow sɔree Onyankopɔn. Ɔsan baa Israel atenae mu teɛɛ mu se, “Monsɔre! Awurade de Midianfo ahyɛ mo nsa.”
16 Akakamura varume mazana matatu akavaisa mumapoka matatu, akaisa hwamanda nezvirongo zvisina chinhu, asi mwenje mukati, mumaoko avo.
Ɔkyɛɛ mmarima ahaasa no mu akuwakuw abiɛsa. Ɔde ntorobɛnto ne dɔte kuruwa a ogyatɛn hyehyɛ mu maa wɔn.
17 Akati kwavari, “Mutarise kwandiri uye mutevedzere zvandinoita. Pandinosvika kumucheto kwomusasa, mubve maita sezvandinoita.
Afei, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monhwɛ me. Munni mʼakyi. Sɛ midu atenae no mfikyiri a, nea mɛyɛ biara no, monyɛ bi.
18 Kana ini navose vandinavo tikaridza hwamanda dzedu, ipapo imi mose makapoteredza musasa muridzewo dzenyu mugodanidzira muchiti, ‘Rwirai Jehovha naGidheoni!’”
Sɛ me ne wɔn a wɔka me ho nyinaa hyɛn ntorobɛnto no a, mo a moatwa atenae no ho ahyia no nyinaa, mo nso monhyɛn mo de na monteɛ mu se, ‘Yɛko ma Onyankopɔn ne Gideon.’”
19 Gidheoni navarume zana vaiva naye vakasvika kumucheto kwomusasa pakutanga kwenguva yapakati pousiku yokurinda, pachangoiswa mumwe murindi. Vakaridza hwamanda dzavo uye vakaputsa zvirongo zvaiva mumaoko avo.
Anadwo dasum a wɔasesa awɛmfo no awie pɛ, na Gideon ne mmarima ɔha a wɔka ne ho no koduu Midianfo atenae mfikyiri. Mpofirim wɔhyɛn wɔn ntorobɛnto no, bobɔɔ dɔte nkuruwa a na ɛhyehyɛ wɔn nsam no.
20 Mapoka matatu akaridza hwamanda uye akaputsawo zvirongo. Vakabata mwenje mumaoko avo oruboshwe uye vakabata noruoko rworudyi hwamanda dzavaizoridza, vakadanidzira vachiti, “Munondo waJehovha nowaGidheoni!”
Afei akuw abiɛsa no nyinaa hyɛn wɔn ntorobɛnto bobɔɔ wɔn nkuruwa. Na wokurakura ogyatɛn a ɛredɛw no wɔ wɔn nsa benkum mu na wokurakura ntorobɛnto wɔ wɔn nsa nifa mu, wɔteɛɛ mu se, “Awurade afoa yɛ Gideon afoa!”
21 Murume mumwe nomumwe akaramba ari panzvimbo yake vakapoteredza musasa, vaMidhiani vose vakamhanya vachiridza mhere, vachitiza.
Ɔbarima biara gyinaa nʼafa wɔ atenae no ho, hwɛɛ Midianfo no sɛ wɔabɔ huboa reteɛteɛ mu na wɔreguan.
22 Vane mazana matatu pavakaridza hwamanda, Jehovha akaita kuti varume vose mumusasa vapandukirane, vabayane neminondo yavo. Hondo yakatizira kuBheti Shita yakananga kuZerera kusvikira kumuganhu weAbheri Mehora pedyo neTabhati.
Bere a Israelfo ahaasa no hyɛn wɔn ntorobɛnto no, Awurade maa wɔn atamfo akofo a wɔwɔ atenae hɔ no twaa wɔn ho de afoa ne wɔn ho wɔn ho koe. Wɔn a wɔanwu no guan koduu Bet-Sita a ɛbɛn Serera ne Abel-Mehola hye a ɛbɛn Tabat so.
23 VaIsraeri vakadanwa kubva kuNafutari, Asheri neManase yose, uye vakatevera vaMidhiani.
Afei, Gideon soma kɔfaa Naftali, Aser ne Manase akofo a wɔbɛboa ma wɔtaa Midian nsraadɔm a wɔreguan no.
24 Gidheoni akatuma nhume munyika yose yezvikomo yaEfuremu achiti, “Burukai tindorwa navaMidhiani titore mvura zhinji dzeJorodhani mberi kwavo kusvikira kuBheti Bhara.” Saka varume vose veEfuremu vakadanwa uye vakatora mvura zhinji dzeJorodhani kusvikira kuBheti Bhara.
Gideon tuu abɔfo kɔɔ Efraim mmepɔw aman no so kɔkae se, “Mommra mmɛtow nhyɛ Midianfo so. Munhyia wɔn wɔ Yordan aworoe so a ɛwɔ Bet-Bera hɔ no.” Na Efraim mmarima no yɛɛ sɛnea wɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn no.
25 Vakatapawo vatungamiri vaviri vavaMidhiani, Orebhi naZeebhi. Vakauraya Orebhi paruware rwaOrebhi, uye Zeebhi vakamuurayira pachisviniro chewaini chaZeebhi. Vakatevera vaMidhiani uye vakauya nemisoro yaOrebhi naZeebhi kuna Gidheoni, akanga ari paJorodhani.
Wɔkyeree Oreb ne Seeb a na wɔyɛ Midian asahene. Wokum Oreb wɔ Oreb botan so, na wokum Seeb nso wɔ Seeb nsakyiamoa ho. Na wɔkɔɔ so taa Midianfo no. Akyiri no, Israelfo no de Oreb ne Seeb ti no brɛɛ Gideon a na saa bere no ɔwɔ Yordan ho no.
