Xaakinnada 8
1 Oo raggii reer Efrayim waxay Gidcoon ku yidhaahdeen, War maxaad waxan noogu samaysay, oo aad noogu yeedhi weyday, markaad u soo kacday inaad reer Midyaan la dagaallanto? Oo aad iyo aad bay u canaanteen isagii.
Then the men of Ephraim said to Gideon, “Why have you done this to us? Why did you fail to call us when you went to fight against Midian?” And they contended with him violently.
2 Oo isna wuxuu ku yidhi, Haddaba maxaan sameeyey oo u qalma waxaad samayseen? Ururinta dambe oo canabka reer Efrayim sow kama wanaagsana ururinta hore oo canabka reer Abiiceser?
But Gideon answered them, “Now what have I accomplished compared to you? Are not the gleanings of Ephraim better than the grape harvest of Abiezer?
3 Ilaah wuxuu gacanta idiin geliyey amiirradii reer Midyaan oo ahaa Cooreeb iyo Se'eeb; haddaba maxaan samayn karay oo u qalma waxaad samayseen? Oo markuu sidaas ku yidhi ayaa ciilkay u qabeen ka baxay.
God has delivered Oreb and Zeeb, the two princes of Midian, into your hand. What was I able to do compared to you?” When he had said this, their anger against him subsided.
4 Markaasay Gidcoon iyo saddexdii boqol oo nin ee la socotay isaga yimaadeen Webi Urdun, wayna ka gudbeen, oo in kastoo ay daalanaayeen weliba wax bay eryoonayeen.
Then Gideon and his three hundred men came to the Jordan and crossed it, exhausted yet still in pursuit.
5 Markaasuu dadkii reer Sukod ku yidhi, Waan idin baryayaaye, dadka ila socda kibis siiya, waayo, way daalan yihiin, oo anna waxaan eryoonayaa boqorrada reer Midyaan oo ah Sebah iyo Salmunnac.
So Gideon said to the men of Succoth, “Please give my troops some bread, for they are exhausted, and I am still pursuing Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian.”
6 Markaasaa amiirradii reer Sukod waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Sebah iyo Salmunnac miyey haatan gacantaada ku jiraan aannu colkaaga cunto siinnee?
But the leaders of Succoth asked, “Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in your possession, that we should give bread to your army?”
7 Markaasaa Gidcoon wuxuu yidhi, Waa hagaag ee markii Rabbigu ii soo gacangeliyo Sebah iyo Salmunnac ayaan hilibkiinna ku jeexjeexi doonaa qodxanta cidlada iyo gocondhada.
“Very well,” Gideon replied, “when the LORD has delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, I will tear your flesh with the thorns and briers of the wilderness!”
8 Markaasuu intuu halkaas ka tegey ayuu u kacay xagga reer Fenuu'eel, sidii oo kaluu ku yidhi; oo raggii reer Fenuu'eel waxay ugu jawaabeen sidii ay reer Sukod ugu jawaabeen oo kale.
From there he went up to Penuel and asked the same from them, but the men of Penuel gave the same response as the men of Succoth.
9 Kolkaasuu haddana wuxuu la hadlay raggii reer Fenuu'eel oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Markaan soo nabad noqdo ayaan dumin doonaa munaaraddan.
So Gideon told the men of Penuel, “When I return in triumph, I will tear down this tower!”
10 Haddaba Sebah iyo Salmunnac waxay joogeen Qarqor, iyaga iyo ciidammadoodii, oo waxay ku dhowaayeen shan iyo toban kun oo nin, oo intaasuna waxay ahayd intii ka hadhay ciidankii reer bariga oo dhan; waayo, waxaa ka la'day boqol iyo labaatan kun oo nin oo seefqaad ah.
Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor with their army of about fifteen thousand men—all that were left of the armies of the people of the east. A hundred and twenty thousand swordsmen had already fallen.
11 Kolkaasaa Gidcoon u kacay xagga kuwii teendhooyinka degganaa oo ku jiray meel bari ka xigta Nobax iyo Yaagbehaah, oo wuxuu laayay ciidankii, maxaa yeelay, ciidanku nabad buu u fadhiyey.
And Gideon went up by way of the caravan route east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and he attacked their army, taking them by surprise.
12 Oo Sebah iyo Salmunnac way carareen, oo isna wuu eryooday, wuuna soo qabsaday labadii boqor oo reer Midyaan oo ahaa Sebah iyo Salmunnac, oo ciidankii oo dhanna wuu ka nixiyey.
When Zebah and Zalmunna fled, Gideon pursued and captured these two kings of Midian, routing their entire army.
13 Oo Gidcoon ina Yoo'aash wuxuu dagaalkii kaga soo noqday jiirtii Xeres.
After this, Gideon son of Joash returned from the battle along the Ascent of Heres.
14 Markaasuu wuxuu qabtay nin dhallinyar oo reer Sukod ah, oo wax weyddiiyey; oo isna wuxuu u tilmaamay amiirradii reer Sukod iyo odayaashoodii, oo waxayna ahaayeen toddoba iyo toddobaatan nin.
There he captured a young man of Succoth and interrogated him. The young man wrote down for him the names of the seventy-seven leaders and elders of Succoth.
15 Markaasuu wuxuu u yimid raggii reer Sukod, oo wuxuuna ku yidhi, Bal eega Sebah iyo Salmunnac, kuwii aad daraaddood iigu majaajilooteen oo aad igu tidhaahdeen, Sebah iyo Salmunnac miyey haatan gacantaada ku jiraan, aannu raggaaga daalan cunto siinnee?
And Gideon went to the men of Succoth and said, “Here are Zebah and Zalmunna, about whom you taunted me, saying, ‘Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in your possession, that we should give bread to your weary men?’”
16 Markaasuu kaxaystay odayaashii magaalada, oo wuxuu qaaday qodxantii cidlada iyo gocondho, wuuna ku edbiyey dadkii reer Sukod.
Then he took the elders of the city, and using the thorns and briers of the wilderness, he disciplined the men of Succoth.
17 Oo munaaraddii Fenuu'eelna wuu dumiyey, dadkii magaaladana wuu laayay.
He also pulled down the tower of Penuel and killed the men of the city.
18 Kolkaasuu Sebah iyo Salmunnac ku yidhi, Raggii aad Taaboor ku layseen siday ahaayeen? Oo iyana waxay ugu jawaabeen, Waxay ahaayeen sidaadoo kale; oo mid waluba wuxuu u ekaa ilmo boqor oo kale.
Next, Gideon asked Zebah and Zalmunna, “What kind of men did you kill at Tabor?” “Men like you,” they answered, “each one resembling the son of a king.”
19 Isna wuxuu yidhi, Waxay ahaayeen walaalahay oo ah wiilashii hooyaday; oo haddii aad iyagoo nool bixin lahaydeen, Rabbiga nool baan ku dhaartaye, idinma aan laayeen.
“They were my brothers,” Gideon replied, “the sons of my mother! As surely as the LORD lives, if you had let them live, I would not kill you.”
20 Markaasuu curadkiisii Yeter ku yidhi, Kac oo laa iyaga. Laakiinse wiilkii seeftiisii lama uu soo bixin; maxaa yeelay, wuu baqay, waayo, weli wuu yaraa.
So he said to Jether, his firstborn, “Get up and kill them.” But the young man did not draw his sword; he was fearful because he was still a youth.
21 Markaasaa Sebah iyo Salmunnac waxay ku yidhaahdeen, War adigu kac oo na laa; waayo, nin waluba siduu yahay ayaa xooggiisuna yahay. Markaasaa Gidcoon kacay oo laayay Sebah iyo Salmunnac, oo wuxuu qaatay bilihii ku xidhnaa qoorta awrtooda.
Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, “Get up and kill us yourself, for as the man is, so is his strength.” So Gideon got up and killed Zebah and Zalmunna, and he took the crescent ornaments from the necks of their camels.
22 Markaasaa dadkii reer binu Israa'iil waxay Gidcoon ku yidhaahdeen, Haddaba noo tali, adiga iyo wiilkaaga, iyo wiilkaaga wiilkiisuba; maxaa yeelay, waad naga badbaadisay gacantii reer Midyaan.
Then the Israelites said to Gideon, “Rule over us—you and your son and grandson—for you have saved us from the hand of Midian.”
23 Kolkaasaa Gidcoon wuxuu ku yidhi, Anigu idiinma talin doono, wiilkayguna idiinma talin doono; laakiinse Rabbigaa idiin talin doona.
But Gideon replied, “I will not rule over you, nor will my son. The LORD shall rule over you.”
24 Oo haddana Gidcoon wuxuu ku yidhi, Waxaan idin weyddiisan lahaa in ninkiin waluba i siiyo hilqadihii uu boolida u helay. (Waxay haysteen hilqado dahab ah, maxaa yeelay, waxay ahaayeen reer Ismaaciil).
Then he added, “Let me make a request of you, that each of you give me an earring from his plunder.” (For the enemies had gold earrings because they were Ishmaelites.)
25 Oo waxay ugu jawaabeen, Annagoo raalli ka ah ayaannu ku siinaynaa. Kolkaasay maro gogleen, oo nin kastaaba wuxuu ku tuuray hilqadihii uu boolida u helay.
“We will give them gladly,” they replied. So they spread out a garment, and each man threw an earring from his plunder onto it.
26 Oo hilqadihii dahabka ahaa oo uu weyddiistay miisaankoodii wuxuu noqday kun iyo toddoba boqol oo sheqel oo dahab ah, intaasoo aanay ku jirin bilihii, iyo murriyadihii, iyo dharkii guduudnaa oo ay boqorradii reer Midyaan xidhnaayeen, iyo silsiladihii sudhnaa qoorta awrtooda.
The weight of the gold earrings he had requested was 1,700 shekels, in addition to the crescent ornaments, the pendants, the purple garments of the kings of Midian, and the chains from the necks of their camels.
27 Markaasaa Gidcoon wuxuu dahabkii ka sameeyey eefod, oo wuxuu dhigay magaaladiisii taasoo ahayd Coofraah; oo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammuna way wada raaceen sidii naag ninkeedii ka dhillowday, markaasuu dabin ku noqday Gidcoon iyo reerkiisiiba.
From all this Gideon made an ephod, which he placed in Ophrah, his hometown. But soon all Israel prostituted themselves by worshiping it there, and it became a snare to Gideon and his household.
28 Sidaasaa reer Midyaan loo hoosaysiiyey reer binu Israa'iil hortooda, oo mar dambena madaxooda kor uma ay qaadin. Oo wakhtigii Gidcoon dalku wuxuu nastay afartan sannadood.
In this way Midian was subdued before the Israelites and did not raise its head again. So the land had rest for forty years in the days of Gideon,
29 Markaasaa wiilkii Yoo'aash, oo Yerubbacal ahaa intuu tegey ayuu iska degay gurigiisii.
and he—Jerubbaal son of Joash—returned home and settled down.
30 Oo Gidcoon wuxuu lahaa toddobaatan wiil oo uu isagu dhalay, waayo, wuxuu qabay naago badan.
Gideon had seventy sons of his own, since he had many wives.
31 Oo naagtiisii addoonta ahayd oo degganayd Shekem, iyana wiil bay u dhashay, oo wuxuu magiciisii u bixiyey Abiimeleg.
His concubine, who dwelt in Shechem, also bore him a son, and he named him Abimelech.
32 Oo Gidcoon ina Yoo'aash ayaa dhintay isagoo da' weyn, oo waxaa lagu aasay xabaashii aabbihiis Yoo'aash, oo ku tiil Coofraah tii reer Abiiceser.
Later, Gideon son of Joash died at a ripe old age and was buried in the tomb of his father Joash in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
33 Oo isla markii Gidcoon dhintay ayay reer binu Israa'iil haddana noqdeen, oo Bacaliimkii raaceen sidii naag ninkeedii ka dhillowday, oo Bacal Beriidna ilaahoodii bay ka dhigteen.
And as soon as Gideon was dead, the Israelites turned and prostituted themselves with the Baals, and they set up Baal-berith as their god.
34 Oo reer binu Israa'iilna ma ay xusuusan Rabbiga Ilaahood ahaa, oo ka samatabbixiyey cadaawayaashoodii dhan kasta ka xigay oo dhan;
The Israelites failed to remember the LORD their God who had delivered them from the hands of all their enemies on every side.
35 raxmadna ma ay tusin reerkii Yerubbacal, kaasoo ahaa Gidcoon, siduu wanaagga oo dhan ugu sameeyey reer binu Israa'iil.
They did not show kindness to the house of Jerubbaal (that is, Gideon) for all the good things he had done for Israel.
