5 Akati kuvarume veSukoti, “Ipai henyu mauto angu chingwa; vaneta, uye ndichiri kutevera Zebha naZarumuna, madzimambo eMidhiani.”

Hagi Sukoti kumate'ma ne-eno'a Gidioni'a amanage huno ana kumate kva vahetmina zamantahige'ne. Muse huramantoanki, Nagri'enema aza vahetamina bretia zaminke'za neho. Na'ankure zamagra tusi zamasafeku nehu'za, nagranena neazage'na nagra Midieni kini netre Zebane Zalmunakizni zanaratago hu'na neoe.

10 Zvino Zebha naZarumuna vakanga vari muKarikori vaine hondo yavarume zviuru gumi nezvishanu, vose vakanga vasara pahondo yavanhu vokumabvazuva; varume vomunondo zviuru makumi maviri vakanga vafa.

13 Gidheoni mwanakomana waJoashi akadzoka kubva kuhondo napaMupata weHeresi.

Hagi Joasi nemofo Gidionima ha'ma huvagareteno'a ana kumara atreno, Heresi agonama me'neregama e'nea kamofo avaririno e'ne.

14 Akabata jaya rokuSukoti uye akaribvunza, uye jaya rikanyora pasi mazita amachinda makumi manomwe navanomwe vokuSukoti, vakuru veguta.

E'inama huno ne-eno'a mago Sukoti kumate nehaza ne' eme azerino antahigegeno, Sukoti kumate mani'naza kva vahetmina 77ni'a kva vahe'mofo zamagia Gidionina kremi'ne.

15 Ipapo Gidheoni akasvika akati kuvarume veSukoti, “Havano vanaZebha naZarumuna, vaya vamakandiseka muchiti, ‘Ko, watova namaoko aZebha naZarumuna kare here? Tinopireiko chingwa kuvanhu vako vaneta ava?’”

Ana'ma higeno'a Gidioni'a Sukoti kumate eno amanage huno kva vahetmina eme zamasami'ne, Keho, Zebane Zalmunanena ama zanazeri'na oe, amare'ma enevu'na sondia vahe'ni'a breti zaminke'za neho hu'nama nehugeta, nazanavanke huta Zebane Zalbunane kazampima zanazerite'nanketa henka sondia vaheka'a bretia zamigahune hu'naze.

16 Akatora vakuru veguta akadzidzisa varume veSukoti chidzidzo nenzira yokuvaranga neminzwa yomurenje uye norukato.

Hagi Gidioni'ma anagema nehuno'a, ka'ma kopima me'nea ave'ave nofitami erino ana kumate kva vahetamina anagema hu'naza zantera sefu zami'ne.

18 Ipapo akabvunza Zebha naZarumuna akati, “Varume vamakauraya paTabhori vakanga vakadiniko?” Vakapindura vakati, “Varume vakaita semi, mumwe nomumwe airatidzika somwanakomana wamambo.”

Ana huteno Gidioni'a Zebane Zalbunakiznia zanantahigeno, Tabor kumate'ma zamahe'na'a vahetmina, inankna vahe zamahe'na'e? Huno zanantahigegeke amanage hu'na'e, Kagri kavugosagna vahe zamahe'no'e. Ana maka'mo'za kini ne'mofo nemofo avugosagna hu'naze.

19 Gidheoni akati, “Ivavo vakanga vari vanunʼuna vangu vanakomana vamai vangu chaivo. Zvirokwazvo naJehovha mupenyu, dai makanga mavaponesa, ini handaizokuurayai.”

Anagema hakeno'a anante Gidioni'a amanage hu'ne, E'i nagri nenarera mofavrerami zamahe'na'e. Tamage mani'nea Ra Anumzamofo avufima tanasamisuana, tanagrama ana nafuhe'ima ozamahena'asina menina tanagrira ontanahosine.

20 Akatendeukira kuna Jeta mwanakomana wake mukuru, akati, “Vauraye!” Asi Jeta haana kuvhomora munondo wake, nokuti akanga achiri mukomana uye aitya.

Anage nehuno zage mofavre'a Jetarinkura huno, otinka zanahegeke fri'o! Hianagi ana nehazamo'a otinora ozanahe'ne. Na'ankure agra osi mofavregino, koro hu'ne.

Anage higeno Zeba'ene Zalmunakea amanage huke Gidionina asmi'na'e, Vema mani'nesunka kagraka'a otinka tahe frio. Anagema hakeno'a, Gidioni'a otino ana netrena zanahe nefrino, kemolizinimofo zananankente'ma hu'znante'na'a avasase'zana eri'ne.

22 VaIsraeri vakati kuna Gidheoni, “Titonge iwe, mwanakomana wako nomuzukuru wako nokuti wakatiponesa kubva muruoko rwavaMidhiani.”

Anama higeno'a Israeli vahe'mo'za amanage hu'za Gidioninkura hu'naze, Kagrane, negamofo'ene negageho'enena kvati mani'neta kegava huranteho. Na'ankure kagra Midieni vahe zamazampinti tagu'vazi'ne.

23 Asi Gidheoni akati kwavari, “Ini handingakutongei, uye mwanakomana wangu haangakutongei. Jehovha ndiye achakutongai.”

Hianagi Gidioni'a amanage huno kenona huzmante'ne, Nagra kvatimia mani'nena kegava huoramantegosue. Ana hukna hu'za mofavrenimo'za kvatimia mani'ne'za kegava huoramantegahaze. Hagi Ra Anumzamoke kvatimia mani'neno kegava huramantegahie.
