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, Yerubaal (a ɔne Gideon) ne nʼakodɔm kɔɔ ara kɔsii Harod nsuo ho. Midian akodɔm nso bɔɔ dɔmpem wɔ atifi fam wɔ bɔnhwa bi a ɛbɛn More bepɔ 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 sɛ, “Akofoɔ a wɔka wo ho no dɔɔso dodo. Sɛ mema mo nyinaa ko tia Midianfoɔ a, Israelfoɔ no bɛhoahoa wɔn ho akyerɛ me sɛ wɔn ara nam wɔn ahoɔden so na wɔgyee 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 enti, ka kyerɛ nnipa no sɛ, ‘Obiara a ɔyɛ tebɔɔ anaa ɔsuro no, ɔnyi ne ho mfiri mu na ɔnkɔ efie.’” Wɔn mu ɔpeduonu mmienu na wɔkɔɔ fie, ɛnna ɛkaa wɔn mu ɔpedu a wɔpɛɛ 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 sɛ, “Wɔdɔɔso ara. Fa wɔn bra asuo 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.”
Ɛberɛ a Gideon de nʼakofoɔ no kɔɔ nsuo no ho no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Kyɛ nnipa no mu akuo mmienu. Fa nnipa a wɔbɔ nsuo gu wɔn nsam na wɔde wɔn tɛkrɛma tafere no sɛ nkraman no kɔ ekuo baako mu. Ekuo a ɛtɔ so mmienu no nso, fa wɔn a wɔbu nkotodwe de wɔn ano nom nsuo 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 ahasa pɛ na na wɔnom nsuo firi wɔn nsa mu. Wɔn a aka no nyinaa nso, na wɔbu nkotodwe de wɔn ano nom nsuo firi 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 sɛ, “Menam saa mmarima ahasa yi so bɛgye mo, na mama moadi Midianfoɔ 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 gyegyee wɔn akwansoduane ne ntotorobɛnto firii akofoɔ no nkyɛn ma wɔkɔɔ fie. Ɛnna ɔmaa mmarima ahasa no kaa ne nkyɛn. Na Midianfoɔ no atenaeɛ wɔ bɔnhwa a ɛwɔ Gideon ase pɛɛ.
9 Usiku ihwohwo, Jehovha akati kuna Gidheoni, “Simuka, buruka uende kumusasa, nokuti ndiri kuzouisa mumaoko ako.
Anadwo no, Awurade kaa sɛ, “Sɔre! Kɔ Midianfoɔ no atenaeɛ no mu wɔ aseɛ hɔ, na mɛma mo adi wɔn so nkonim!
10 Asi kana uchitya kuenda, buruka uende kumusasa naPura muranda wako.
Na sɛ wosuro sɛ wobɛkoto ahyɛ wɔn so a, wo ne wo ɔsomfoɔ Pura nkɔ hɔ.
11 Uchanzwa zvavanotaura. Shure kwaizvozvo uchanzwa kukurudzirwa kuti urwise musasa.” Saka iye naPura muranda wake vakaburuka vakasvika kuvarindi vokunze kwomusasa.
Tie deɛ Midianfoɔ no reka na ɛbɛhyɛ wo nkuran. Na wo ho bɛpere wo ama woato ahyɛ wɔn so.” Enti, Gideon faa Pura kaa ne ho ne no kɔɔ atamfoɔ no atenaeɛ no mfikyire.
12 VaMidhiani, vaAmareki navamwe vanhu vose vokumabvazuva vakanga vagara mumupata, vakawanda semhashu. Ngamera dzavo dzakanga dzisingaverengeki, dzakawanda sejecha remahombekombe egungwa.
Saa ɛberɛ no na Midianfoɔ, Amalekfoɔ ne nnipa no nkaeɛ a wɔfifiri apueeɛ fam no abɛyɛ bitibiti te sɛ ntutummɛ wɔ bɔnhwa no mu. Na wɔn nyoma nso dodoɔ te sɛ mpoano anwea. 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 weaweaa kɔduruu hɔ no, na ɔbarima bi reka ne daeɛ a ɔsoeɛ akyerɛ nʼadamfo bi sɛ, “Mesoo daeɛ na burodo kurukuruwa bi ate abɛhwe Midianfoɔ atenaeɛ. Ɛkɔpem ntomadan no bi na ɛbu 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 kaa sɛ, “Wo daeɛ no kyerɛ adeɛ baako pɛ. Onyankopɔn de Midian ne ne mpamfoɔ nyinaa so nkonimdie 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.”
Ɛberɛ a Gideon tee daeɛ no ne nʼasekyerɛ no, ɔkoto sɔree Onyankopɔn. Ɔsane baa Israel atenaeɛ mu teaam sɛ, “Monsɔre! Awurade de Midianfoɔ ahyɛ mo nsa.”
16 Akakamura varume mazana matatu akavaisa mumapoka matatu, akaisa hwamanda nezvirongo zvisina chinhu, asi mwenje mukati, mumaoko avo.
Ɔkyɛɛ mmarima ahasa no mu akuakuo mmiɛnsa. Ɔde ntotorobɛnto ne dɔteɛ 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 sɛ, “Monhwɛ me. Monni mʼakyi. Sɛ meduru atenaeɛ no mfikyire a, deɛ 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 ntotorobɛnto no a, mo a moatwa atenaeɛ no ho ahyia no nyinaa, mo nso monhyɛn mo deɛ na monteam sɛ, ‘Yɛko ma Awurade 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 dasuo mu a wɔasesa awɛmfoɔ no awie pɛ, na Gideon ne mmarima ɔha a wɔka ne ho no kɔduruu Midianfoɔ atenaeɛ mfikyire. Mpofirim wɔhyɛnee wɔn ntotorobɛnto no, bobɔɔ dɔteɛ 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 akuo mmiɛnsa no nyinaa hyɛnee wɔn ntotorobɛnto bobɔɔ wɔn nkuruwa. Na wɔkurakura ogyatɛn a ɛrederɛ no wɔ wɔn nsa benkum mu na wɔkurakura ntotorobɛnto wɔ wɔn nsa nifa mu, wɔteaam sɛ, “Awurade akofena yɛ Gideon akofena!”
21 Murume mumwe nomumwe akaramba ari panzvimbo yake vakapoteredza musasa, vaMidhiani vose vakamhanya vachiridza mhere, vachitiza.
Ɔbarima biara gyinaa nʼafa wɔ atenaeɛ no ho, hwɛɛ Midianfoɔ no sɛ wɔabɔ huboa reteateam na wɔredwane.
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.
Ɛberɛ a Israelfoɔ ahasa no hyɛnee wɔn ntotorobɛnto no, Awurade maa wɔn atamfoɔ akofoɔ a wɔwɔ atenaeɛ hɔ no twaa wɔn ho de akofena ne wɔn ho koeɛ. Wɔn a wɔanwu no dwane kɔduruu Bet-Sita a ɛbɛn Serera ne Abel-Mehola hyeɛ a ɛbɛn Tabat so.
23 VaIsraeri vakadanwa kubva kuNafutari, Asheri neManase yose, uye vakatevera vaMidhiani.
Afei, Gideon soma kɔfaa Naftali, Aser ne Manase akofoɔ a wɔbɛboa ma wɔtaa Midian akodɔm a wɔredwane 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 abɔfoɔ kɔɔ Efraim mmepɔ aman no so kɔkaa sɛ “Mommra mmɛto nhyɛ Midianfoɔ so. Montware wɔn wɔ Yordan aworɔso a ɛwɔ Bet-Bera hɔ no.” Na Efraim mmarima no yɛɛ sɛdeɛ 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. Wɔkumm Oreb wɔ Oreb botan so ɛnna wɔkumm Seeb nso wɔ Seeb nsakyiamena ho. Na wɔkɔɔ so taa Midianfoɔ no. Akyire no, Israelfoɔ no de Oreb ne Seeb tiri no brɛɛ Gideon a na saa ɛberɛ no ɔwɔ Yordan ho no.
