1 Zvino vaEfuremu vakabvunza Gidheoni vakati, “Makatibatireiko zvakadai? Makaregerei kutidana pamakaenda kundorwa navaMidhiani?” Uye vakamutsoropodza zvikuru.
Afei, Efraimfo no bisaa Gideon se, “Adɛn nti na woyɛ yɛn saa? Adɛn nti na worekɔko atia Midian kan no, woamfrɛ yɛn?” Na wɔne Gideon kasaa anibere so.
2 Asi akavapindura akati, “Ko, chii chandaita kuti ndizvienzanise nemi? Handiti zvakanongwa zvamazambiringa aEfuremu zviri nani kupfuura mukohwo uzere wamazambiringa aAbhiezeri?
Na Gideon buaa wɔn se, “Dɛn na mayɛ a mede bɛtoto mo ho? Na Efraim bobe aba a ɛka wɔ twabere akyi no nye nsen Abieser bobe a wɔtewee nyinaa?
3 Mwari akaisa Orebhi naZeebhi, vatungamiri vavaMidhiani mumaoko enyu. Ko, ini ndaizokwanisa kuitei kuti ndienzaniswe nemi?” Ipapo, kutsamwa kwavo pamusoro pake kwakaserera.
Onyankopɔn maa mudii Oreb ne Seeb a na wɔyɛ Midian asahene no so. Dɛn na matumi ayɛ a ɛsɛ eyi?” Efraim mmarima no tee Gideon mmuae no, wɔn bo tɔɔ wɔn yam.
4 Gidheoni navanhu vake mazana matatu, vakaramba vachingotevera, vakasvika kurwizi Jorodhani uye vakaruyambuka havo, asi vakanga vaneta kwazvo.
Gideon ne ne mmarima ahaasa no twaa Asubɔnten Yordan, ɛwɔ mu sɛ na wɔabrɛ de, nanso wɔtoaa so taa atamfo no.
5 Akati kuvarume veSukoti, “Ipai henyu mauto angu chingwa; vaneta, uye ndichiri kutevera Zebha naZarumuna, madzimambo eMidhiani.”
Woduu Sukot no, Gideon ka kyerɛɛ ntuanofo a wɔwɔ hɔ no se, “Momma mʼakofo no aduan nni na wɔabrɛ. Meretaa Midian ahemfo Seba ne Salmuna.”
6 Asi machinda eSukoti akati, “Matova namaoko aZebha naZarumuna mumaoko enyu here? Ko, tingapirei chingwa kumauto enyu?”
Na Sukot ntuanofo no buae se, “Kyere Seba ne Salmuna ansa na yɛama wʼakofo no aduan adi.”
7 Ipapo Gidheoni akapindura akati, “Nokuda kwaizvozvo, Jehovha paanongoisa Zebha naZarumuna muruoko rwangu, ini ndichabvambura nyama yenyu neminzwa yomurenje uye norukato.”
Gideon buae se, “Sɛ Awurade ma midi Seba ne Salmuna so nkonim a, mɛsan aba de sare so nsɔe ne akraate abesunsuan mo honam ani.”
8 Kubva ipapo akaenda kuPenieri vakaita chikumbiro chimwe chetecho, asi naivowo vakapindura sezvakaita varume veSukoti.
Na Gideon fii hɔ kɔɔ Penuel kɔsrɛɛ aduan bio, na onyaa mmuae koro no ara.
9 Saka iye akati kuvarume vePenieri, “Pandinodzoka ndakunda, ndichakoromora shongwe iyi.”
Na ɔka kyerɛɛ Penuelfo no se, “Sɛ mifi nkonimdi mu ba a, mebubu saa abantenten yi.”
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.
Saa bere yi na Seba ne Salmuna ne akofo mpem dunum wɔ Karkor, aboafo a wofi apuei fam a na emu mpem ɔha aduonu atotɔ dedaw no nkaefo.
11 Gidheoni akakwidza nenzira yavaigara mumatende kumabvazuva kweNobha neJogibheha vakandokunda hondo yakanga isina chayakatarisira.
Gideon faa atutenafo kwan a ɛda Noba ne Yogbeha apuei fam no ho hyiae, na wɔtow hyɛɛ Midian nsraadɔm a na wɔn ani nna wɔn ho so no so.
12 Zebha naZarumuna, madzimambo maviri eMidhiani, vakatiza, asi akavatevera akavabata, akakunda hondo yavo yose.
Midian ahemfo baanu a wɔn din de Seba ne Salmuna no guanee, nanso Gideon taa wɔn faa wɔn akofo nyinaa nnommum.
13 Gidheoni mwanakomana waJoashi akadzoka kubva kuhondo napaMupata weHeresi.
Eyi akyi no, Yoas ba Gideon faa Heres tempɔn so sanee.
14 Akabata jaya rokuSukoti uye akaribvunza, uye jaya rikanyora pasi mazita amachinda makumi manomwe navanomwe vokuSukoti, vakuru veguta.
Ɛhɔ na ɔkyeree aberante bi a ofi Sukot. Ɔhyɛɛ no sɛ ɔnkyerɛw nnipa aduɔson ason a wɔyɛ sodifo ne ntuanofo a wɔwɔ kurow no mu no din mma no.
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?’”
Afei, Gideon san kɔɔ Sukot kɔka kyerɛɛ ɛhɔ ntuanofo no se, “Seba ne Salmuna ni. Yɛbaa ha no mudii me ho fɛw, kae se, ‘Kyere Seba ne Salmuna ansa na yɛama wʼakofo a wɔabrɛ no aduan adi.’”
16 Akatora vakuru veguta akadzidzisa varume veSukoti chidzidzo nenzira yokuvaranga neminzwa yomurenje uye norukato.
Afei Gideon faa kurow no mu ntuanofo kyerɛɛ wɔn nyansa. Ɔde sare so nsɔe ne akraate twee wɔn aso.
17 Akakoromorawo shongwe yePenieri uye akauraya varume vomuguta.
Ɔsan dwiriw Penuel abantenten no guu fam, kunkum kurow no mu mmarima nyinaa.
18 Ipapo akabvunza Zebha naZarumuna akati, “Varume vamakauraya paTabhori vakanga vakadiniko?” Vakapindura vakati, “Varume vakaita semi, mumwe nomumwe airatidzika somwanakomana wamambo.”
Afei, obisaa Seba ne Salmuna se, “Mmarima a mukum wɔn wɔ Tabor no na wɔte dɛn?” Wobuae se, “Mmarima no te sɛ wo. Na wɔn mu biara te sɛ ɔheneba.”
19 Gidheoni akati, “Ivavo vakanga vari vanunʼuna vangu vanakomana vamai vangu chaivo. Zvirokwazvo naJehovha mupenyu, dai makanga mavaponesa, ini handaizokuurayai.”
Gideon ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Na wɔyɛ me nuanom. Sɛ Awurade te ase yi, sɛ moankum wɔn a, anka me nso merenkum mo.”
20 Akatendeukira kuna Jeta mwanakomana wake mukuru, akati, “Vauraye!” Asi Jeta haana kuvhomora munondo wake, nokuti akanga achiri mukomana uye aitya.
Ɔdan nʼani kyerɛɛ ne babarima panyin Yeter se, “Kum wɔn.” Nanso Yeter antwe nʼafoa, efisɛ na ɔyɛ abarimaa nti na osuro.
21 Zebha naZarumuna vakati, “Uyai muzviite imi. ‘Munhu sezvaari ndizvo zvakaita simba rake.’” Saka Gidheoni akaswedera akavauraya, uye akatora zvishongo kubva mumitsipa yengamera dzavo.
Seba ne Salmuna ka kyerɛɛ Gideon se, “Mma abarimaa nyɛ ɔpanyin adwuma! Wʼankasa yɛ!” Enti Gideon kum wɔn baanu, faa adehye agude a ɛsensɛn wɔn yoma kɔn mu no.
22 VaIsraeri vakati kuna Gidheoni, “Titonge iwe, mwanakomana wako nomuzukuru wako nokuti wakatiponesa kubva muruoko rwavaMidhiani.”
Na Israelfo no ka kyerɛɛ Gideon se, “Di yɛn so hene. Wo ne wo babarima ne wo nena bɛyɛ yɛn ahemfo, efisɛ woagye yɛn afi Midianfo nsam.”
23 Asi Gidheoni akati kwavari, “Ini handingakutongei, uye mwanakomana wangu haangakutongei. Jehovha ndiye achakutongai.”
Nanso Gideon buae se, “Merenni mo so hene na me babarima nso renni mo so hene. Awurade na obedi mo so.”
24 Uye akati, “Ndine chikumbiro chimwe chete, chokuti mumwe nomumwe wenyu andipe mhete yomunzeve kubva pamugove wezvamakapamba.” (Yakanga iri tsika yavaIshumaeri yokushonga mhete dzegoridhe dzomunzeve.)
Mmom Gideon ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, mewɔ abisade baako. “Mo mu biara mma me asokaa baako a mofa fii asade a munya fii mo atamfo a mudii wɔn so no nkyɛn.” (Atamfo a na wɔyɛ Ismaelfo no na obiara hyɛ sikakɔkɔɔ asokaa).
25 Vakapindura vakati, “Tichafara kudzipa kwamuri.” Saka vakawaridza nguo pasi, uye murume mumwe nomumwe akakanda mhete yezvaakapamba pamusoro payo.
Wobuaa se, “Yɛpene so dodo.” Wɔde nkataho sɛw fam. Na obiara de ne sikakɔkɔɔ asokaa a onyae beguu so.
26 Uremu hwemhete dzegoridhe dzaakakumbira hwakasvika mashekeri chiuru chimwe namazana manomwe, pasingaverengwi zvishongo, uketani, nguo dzepepuru dzaipfekwa namadzimambo eMidhiani kana uketani hwakanga huri pamitsipa yengamera dzavo.
Na sikakɔkɔɔ asokaa dodow a wonyae no karii kilogram aduonu ne akyi pɔw anan a nyanne nketewa ne kɔnmuade, Midian ahemfo adehye ahyehyɛde ne nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn a egu wɔn yoma kɔn mu nka ho.
27 Gidheoni akaita nazvo efodhi yegoridhe iyo yaakaisa muOfira, guta rake. VaIsraeri vose vakaita ufeve nokuinamata ipapo, uye yakava musungo kuna Gidheoni nokumhuri yake.
Gideon de yɛɛ asɔfotade kronkron na ɔde sii kurow Ofra, ne kurow mu. Nanso ankyɛ na Israelfo no kɔsom no de guu wɔn ho fi na ɛdan afiri maa Gideon ne ne fifo.
28 Naizvozvo vaMidhiani vakakundwa pamberi pavaIsraeri uye havana kuzosimudzazve musoro wavo. Pamazuva okurarama kwaGidheoni, nyika yakava norugare kwamakore makumi mana.
Eyi ne abasɛm a ɛkyerɛ sɛnea Israelfo dii Midianfo so nkonim a wɔantumi ansɔre bio. Gideon nna a etwa to bɛyɛ mfe aduanan mu no, na asomdwoe wɔ asase no so.
29 Jerubhi-Bhaari mwanakomana waJoashi akadzokerazve kundogara kumusha kwake.
Afei, Yoas babarima Yerub-Baal san kɔɔ ne kurom.
30 Akanga ana vanakomana vake chaivo makumi manomwe, nokuti akanga ana vakadzi vazhinji.
Na ɔwɔ yerenom bebree nti ɔwoo mmabarima aduɔson.
31 Murongo wake, aigara muShekemu, akamuberekerawo mwanakomana, akamutumidza kuti Abhimereki.
Na ɔwɔ mpena nso wɔ Sekem a ɔne no woo ɔbabarima, too ne din Abimelek.
32 Gidheoni mwanakomana waJoashi akafa akwegura zvikuru uye akavigwa muguva rababa vake Joashi muOfira ravaAbhiezeri.
Gideon wui no na wanyin yiye. Na wosiee no wɔ nʼagya Yoas da mu wɔ Ofra wɔ Abieserfo abusuasase so.
33 Gidheoni akati achangofa, vaIsraeri vakafevazve vakatevera vaBhaari. Vakamisa Bhaari Bheriti samwari wavo uye
Gideon wui ara pɛ, Israelfo no kɔsom Baal ahoni, de bɔɔ wɔn ho ahohwi. Wɔnam so yɛɛ Baal-Berit wɔn nyame.
34 havana kurangarira Jehovha Mwari wavo, akanga avanunura kubva mumaoko avavengi vavo kumativi ose.
Wɔn werɛ fii Awurade, wɔn Nyankopɔn a ogyee wɔn fii wɔn atamfo a wɔatwa wɔn ho ahyia no nsam no.
35 Vakatadza kuitira mhuri yaJerubhi-Bhaari (iye Gidheoni) zvakanaka pazvinhu zvose zvakanaka zvaakanga avaitira.
Na mpo, wɔanni nokware ankyerɛ Yerub-Baal (a ɔne Gideon) fifo wɔ nneɛma pa a ɔyɛ maa Israelfo no ho.
