< Waamuzi 6 >

1 Waisraeli wakafanya tena yaliyo maovu mbele za Bwana, naye kwa miaka saba Bwana akawatia mikononi mwa Wamidiani.
Israel kaminawk loe Angraeng mikhnukah kasae hmuen to sak o let bae; to pongah Angraeng mah nihcae to saning sarihto thung Midian kaminawk ban ah paek.
2 Mkono wa Midiani ukawa na nguvu dhidi ya Israeli na kwa ajili ya Wamidiani, Waisraeli wakajitengenezea mahali pa kujificha milimani, kwenye mapango na ngome.
Midian kaminawk mah Israelnawk to pazawk moe, pacaekthlaek pongah, Israel kaminawk loe abuephaih akhaw hoi thlungkhaw to mae taengah sak o.
3 Kila wakati Waisraeli walipopanda mazao mashambani, Wamidiani, Waamaleki na mataifa mengine ya mashariki walivamia nchi yao.
Israel kaminawk mah caak koi hmuen patit o naah, Midian kaminawk, Amalek kaminawk hoi ni angyae bang ih kaminawk to angzoh o moe, phraek pae o king.
4 Wakapiga kambi katika mashamba yao na kuharibu mazao ya nchi yote hadi kufikia Gaza, wala hawakuacha kiumbe chochote kilicho hai kwa Waisraeli, iwe kondoo au ngʼombe au punda.
Lawk ah khosak pae o moe, lawk ah patit ih hmuennawk boih, Gaza karoek to paro pae o king; Israel kaminawk mah caak o hanah, tuu, maitaw hoi hrangnawk doeh pathlung pae o ai.
5 Walipanda na mifugo yao na mahema yao, mfano wa makundi ya nzige. Ilikuwa haiwezekani kuwahesabu watu na ngamia zao; wakavamia nchi ili kuiharibu.
Nihcae loe pacah ih moinawk, kahninawk to phawh o moe, kroek laek ai kangpoeng pakhuhnawk baktiah a caeh o; kaminawk hoi kaengkuu hrangnawk loe kroek laek ai khoek to pop o; Israel prae paro hanah angzoh o.
6 Waisraeli wakafanywa kuwa maskini sana na Wamidiani, hata Israeli wakamlilia Bwana kuomba msaada.
Israel kaminawk loe Midian kaminawk pongah paroeai amtang o; to naah Angraeng khaeah hang o.
7 Waisraeli walipomlilia Bwana kwa sababu ya Wamidiani,
Midan kaminawk mah pacaekthlaek o pongah, Israel kaminawk mah Angraeng khaeah hang o naah,
8 Bwana akawapelekea nabii, ambaye aliwaambia, “Hili ndilo Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, asemalo: Niliwapandisha mtoke Misri, toka nchi ya utumwa.
Angraeng mah, nihcae khaeah tahmaa maeto patoeh pae; tahmaa mah nihcae khaeah, Israel Angraeng Sithaw mah, Misong ah ohhaih ahmuen, Izip prae hoiah nangcae to kang zaeh.
9 Nikawanyakua kutoka mikononi mwa Wamisri na kutoka mikononi mwa watesi wenu wote. Nikawafukuza watoke mbele yenu nami nikawapa ninyi nchi yao.
Izip kaminawk ban hoi nangcae pacaekthlaek kaminawk ban thung hoiah kang loih o sak; na hmaa ah nihcae to kang haek pae o moe, nihcae ih prae to kang paek o.
10 Nikawaambia, ‘Mimi ndimi Bwana Mungu wenu; msiiabudu miungu ya Waamori, ambayo mnakaa katika nchi yao!’ Lakini ninyi hamkuitii sauti yangu.”
Kai mah nangcae khaeah, Kai loe na Angraeng Sithaw ah ka oh; na oh o haih prae ih Amor kaminawk ih sithawnawk to zii o hmah, tiah ka thuih pae; toe ka lok na tahngai o ai, tiah a naa.
11 Malaika wa Bwana akaja akaketi chini ya mti wa mwaloni huko Ofra, ambao ulikuwa mali ya Yoashi, Mwabiezeri, ambako Gideoni mwanawe alikuwa akipepeta ngano penye shinikizo la kukamulia zabibu, ili kuificha Wamidiani wasiione.
Angraeng ih van kami maeto angzoh moe, Oprah vang ah kaom Abiezer acaeng Joash ih thing kamtaak tlim ah anghnut; to naah a capa Gideon loe Midian kaminawk mah hnuk han ai ah, misurtui pasawhhaih ahmuen taengah cang to atit.
12 Malaika wa Bwana alipomtokea Gideoni, akamwambia, “Bwana yu pamoja nawe, Ewe shujaa mwenye nguvu.”
Angraeng ih van kami Gideon khaeah angphong moe, anih khaeah, Misatuk thacak kami, Angraeng loe nang hoi nawnto oh, tiah a naa.
13 Gideoni akajibu, “Ee Bwana wangu, kama Bwana yu pamoja nasi, mbona mambo haya yote yametutokea? Yako wapi basi yale matendo yake makuu baba zetu waliyotusimulia juu yake waliposema, ‘Je, Bwana hakutupandisha kutoka Misri?’ Lakini sasa Bwana ametuacha na kututia katika mkono wa Midiani.”
Toe Gideon mah anih khaeah, Aw ka Angraeng, Angraeng mah kaicae om thuih nahaeloe, tipongah hae baktih hmuen hae ka tong o loe? Angraeng mah kaicae hae Izip prae thung hoiah ang zaeh, tiah kam panawk mah thuih o ih lok baktih toengah sak ih, dawnrai hmuennawk to naah maw oh boih boeh? Toe vaihi loe Angraeng mah kaicae hae pahnawt moe, kaicae hae Midian kaminawk ban ah paek boeh, tiah a naa.
14 Bwana akamgeukia na kusema “Enenda kwa uwezo wako huu, ukawaokoe Israeli kutoka mikononi mwa Wamidiani. Je, si mimi ninayekutuma wewe?”
Angraeng mah anih to khet moe, Na tawnh ih thacakhaih hoiah caeh ah, Midian kaminawk ban thung hoiah Israel kaminawk to na pahlong tih; kai mah kang patoeh boeh na ai maw? tiah a naa.
15 Gideoni akauliza, “Ee Bwana wangu, nitawezaje kuwaokoa Israeli? Ukoo wangu ndio dhaifu kuliko zote katika Manase, nami ndiye mdogo wa wote katika jamaa yangu.”
Gideon mah anih khaeah, Aw ka Angraeng, Israel kaminawk to kawbangmaw ka pahlong thai han? Khenah, Manasseh acaeng thungah kainawk cakawh loe kam tang o; kai loe kam pa imthung ah kathoeng koek ah ka oh, tiah a naa.
16 Bwana akamjibu, “Nitakuwa pamoja nawe, nawe utawapiga Wamidiani kana kwamba walikuwa ni mtu mmoja.”
Angraeng mah anih khaeah, Kang oh thuih han hmang, kami maeto hum baktiah, Midian kaminawk to na hum tih, tiah a naa.
17 Gideoni akajibu, “Kama basi nimepata kibali machoni pako, nipe ishara kuonyesha kweli kwamba ni wewe unayesema nami.
Gideon mah, Na mikcuk naakrak ah ka oh nahaeloe, nang thuih ih lok loe tangtang ni, tiah ka panoek thai hanah, angmathaih na paek ah.
18 Tafadhali ninakuomba usiondoke hapa mpaka nitakaporudi na kukuletea sadaka yangu na kuiweka mbele yako.” Naye Bwana akamwambia, “Nitangoja mpaka utakaporudi.”
Na hmaa ah patoem hanah, tangqum to ka sinh moe, kang zo let ai karoek to hae ah om raeh, tiah a naa. To naah Angraeng mah, Nam laem let karoek to kang zing han hmang, tiah a naa.
19 Gideoni akaingia ndani ya nyumba yake na kuandaa mwana-mbuzi pamoja na kuoka mikate isiyotiwa chachu kutokana na efa moja ya unga. Akaweka nyama kwenye kikapu na mchuzi kwenye chungu, akamletea huyo malaika hapo nje chini ya mti wa mwaloni na kumpa.
Gideon loe im ah caeh moe, maeh caa maeto a boh; a thongh pacoengah, takaw ephah maeto a lak moe, taeh thuh ai ih takaw to a sak; benthang pongah moi to pacaeng moe, atui to laom pongah a suek; anih hanah thing tahlip ah sin pae moe, a paek.
20 Malaika wa Mungu akamwambia, “Itwae nyama na mikate isiyotiwa chachu, uviweke juu ya mwamba huu na umimine huo mchuzi juu yake.” Gideoni akafanya hivyo.
Sithaw ih van kami mah anih khaeah, Taeh thuh ai ih takaw hoi moi to lah loe, hae thlung nuiah suem ah; to pacoengah atui hoi bawh ah, tiah a naa. A thuih ih lok baktih toengah a sak.
21 Malaika wa Bwana akainyoosha fimbo iliyokuwa mkononi mwake, ncha yake ikagusa ile nyama na ile mikate isiyotiwa chachu, nao moto ukatoka kwenye mwamba ukateketeza ile nyama na ile mikate. Malaika wa Bwana akatoweka kutoka machoni pake.
Angraeng ih van kami mah moi hoi taeh thuh ai ih takaw to, a ban ih cung tadong hoiah sui; to naah thlung hoiah hmai to angqong moe, moi hoi taeh thuh ai ih takaw to hmai mah kangh. To pacoengah Angraeng ih van kami to anghmat ving.
22 Gideoni alipotambua kuwa ni malaika wa Bwana, akapiga kelele kwa mshangao, akasema, “Ole wangu, Bwana Mwenyezi! Kwa kuwa nimemwona malaika wa Bwana uso kwa uso!”
Angraeng ih van kami ni, tiah Gideon mah panoek naah, Aw Angraeng Sithaw, Angraeng ih van kami to mikhmai kangtong ah ka hnuk boeh, tiah a thuih.
23 Lakini Bwana akamwambia, “Amani iwe kwako! Usiogope. Hutakufa.”
Angraeng mah anih khaeah, Nang khaeah monghaih om nasoe, zii hmah, na dueh mak ai, tiah a naa.
24 Hivyo Gideoni akamjengea Bwana madhabahu mahali pale na kupaita, Yehova-Shalom. Mpaka leo ingalipo imesimama huko Ofra ya Waabiezeri.
To pongah Gideon mah to ahmuen ah Angraeng hanah hmaicam maeto sak moe, Jehovah Shalom, tiah ahmin sak. Hmaicam loe vaihni ni khoek to Abiezer kaminawk ih Ophrah ah oh.
25 Usiku ule ule Bwana akamwambia, “Mchukue ngʼombe dume wa baba yako, yaani, yule wa pili mwenye miaka saba, na ubomoe madhabahu ya Baali aliyo nayo baba yako, na ukaikate Ashera iliyo karibu nayo.
To na ni qum ah Angraeng mah anih khaeah, Nam pa ih maitaw tae kanawk hnetto lah loe, saning sarihto kaom hnetto haih maitaw tae to la ah; nam pa mah sak ih Baal hmaicam to phraeh loe, a taeng ih Asherah tung to pakhruh ah.
26 Kisha mjengee Bwana Mungu wako, madhabahu halisi, kwa taratibu zake, juu ya huu mwamba. Kwa kutumia kuni za hiyo nguzo ya Ashera uliyoikatakata, mtoe sadaka huyo dume wa pili kuwa sadaka ya kuteketezwa.”
Hae lungsong nuiah na Angraeng Sithaw hanah hmaicam to sah ah; hnetto haih maitaw tae to lah loe, na pakhruk ih Asherah thing hoiah hmai angbawnhaih to sah ah, tiah a naa.
27 Basi Gideoni akawachukua watumishi wake kumi na kufanya kama Bwana alivyomwambia. Lakini kwa kuwa aliwaogopa jamaa yake na watu wa mji, akafanya haya usiku badala ya mchana.
To pongah Gideon mah a tamna kami hato kawk moe, Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah a sak; toe angmah ih imthung takoh hoi avang thung ih kaminawk to a zit pongah, khodai ah sah ai, khoving ah ni a sak.
28 Watu wa mji walipoamka asubuhi, tazama madhabahu ya Baali imebomolewa na nguzo ya Ashera iliyokuwa karibu nayo imekatwakatwa na yule ngʼombe wa pili ametolewa sadaka juu ya madhabahu yaliyojengwa upya!
Khawnbang khawnthaw ah vangpui ih kaminawk angthawk o naah loe, khenah, Baal hmaicam loe amro moe, a taengah kaom Asherah tung doeh pakhruk ving ah oh boeh; to ih Asherah tung thing hoiah hmaicam kangtha nuiah, hnetto haih maitaw tae hoi sak ih hmai angbawnhaih to a hnuk o.
29 Wakaulizana, “Ni nani aliyetenda mambo haya?” Walipochunguza kwa makini, wakaambiwa, “Ni Gideoni mwana wa Yoashi, ndiye alitenda hivi.”
Hae tiah hmuen sah kami loe mi maw? tiah maeto hoi maeto angdueng o. Nihcae mah dueng o naah, Joash capa Gideon mah sak, tiah thuih pae o.
30 Watu wa mji wakamwambia Yoashi, “Mlete mwanao hapa. Ni lazima afe, kwa sababu amebomoa madhabahu ya Baali na kukatakata nguzo ya Ashera iliyokuwa karibu nayo.”
Vangpui thung ih kaminawk mah, Joash khaeah, Na capa to hae ah na hoiah; a duek han oh; anih mah ni Baal hmaicam hae phraek moe, a taeng ih Asherah tung doeh pakhruk, tiah a naa o.
31 Lakini Yoashi akauambia ule umati uliokuwa umezunguka ukiwa kinyume naye, “Je, ninyi mtamtetea Baali? Mnajaribu kumwokoa? Yeyote mwenye kumpigania atauawa kufikia kesho asubuhi! Kama Baali ni mungu kweli, anaweza kujitetea mwenyewe wakati mtu anapobomoa madhabahu yake.”
Toe Joash mah anih palungphui thuih kaminawk boih khaeah, Baal ih tok maw na sak o moe, anih maw na pahlong o han? Anih ih toksah kami loe akhawn bang atue laem ai naah dueh nasoe! Baal hae sithaw tangtang ah om nahaeloe, a hmaicam to kami maeto mah phraek ving boeh pongah, Baal angmah lu la nasoe, tiah a naa.
32 Basi siku ile wakamwita Gideoni “Yerub-Baali,” yaani, “Baali na ashindane naye,” kwa sababu alibomoa madhabahu yake.
Gideon mah Baal ih hmaicam to phraek moe, Anih to Baal mah lu la nasoe, tiah thuih pongah, to na niah Joash mah Gideon to Jerub-Baal, tiah ahmin paek.
33 Basi Wamidiani wote, Waamaleki na mataifa mengine ya mashariki wakaunganisha majeshi yao, wakavuka ngʼambo ya Yordani na kupiga kambi katika Bonde la Yezreeli.
To naah Midian, Amalek hoi ni angyae bang ih kaminawk boih maeto ah amkhueng o moe, Jordan vapui yaeh ih, Jezreel azawn ah atai o.
34 Ndipo Roho wa Bwana akamjia Gideoni, akapiga tarumbeta, akiwaita Waabiezeri ili wamfuate.
To naah Gideon nuiah Angraeng ih Muithla to oh; anih mah mongkah to ueng naah, Abiezer kaminawk anih hnukah bang o.
35 Akatuma wajumbe waende katika Manase yote, akiwataka wachukue silaha na pia katika Asheri, Zabuloni na Naftali, nao wakakwea ili kukutana nao.
Manasseh kaminawk boih khaeah laicaeh to patoeh, to naah Manasseh kaminawk anih hnukah bang o; to pacoengah Asher, Zebulun hoi Naphtali kaminawk khaeah doeh laicaeh to patoeh; nihcae doeh a hnukah caeh o toeng.
36 Gideoni akamwambia Mungu, “Kama utawaokoa Waisraeli kwa mkono wangu, kama ulivyoahidi:
Gideon mah Sithaw khaeah, Na thuih ih lok baktih toengah, ka ban hoiah Israel kaminawk to na pahlong han nahaeloe,
37 tazama, nitaweka ngozi ya kondoo kwenye kiwanja cha kupuria nafaka, na kama utakuwepo umande juu ya ngozi tu, nayo ardhi yote ikiwa kavu, ndipo nitakapojua kuwa utaokoa Israeli kwa mkono wangu, kama ulivyosema.”
khenah, tuumui khukbuen to cang atithaih ahmuen ah ka baih han; tuumui sak ih khukbuen nui khue ah dantui to krah moe, long to phui nahaeloe, na thuih ih lok baktih toengah, ka ban hoiah Israel kaminawk to ka pahlong tih, tiah ka panoek han, tiah a naa.
38 Hivyo ndivyo ilivyotokea. Gideoni akaamka asubuhi na mapema kesho yake, akaikamua ile ngozi, umande ukatoka, maji ya kujaa bakuli.
To tiah hmuen to oh tangtang; Gideon loe khawnbang khawnthaw ah angthawk meo, tuumui khukbuen to a lak, dantui to pasawh naah, tui boengloeng maeto koi.
39 Kisha Gideoni akamwambia Bwana, “Usinikasirikie. Ninaomba nifanye ombi moja lingine. Niruhusu nifanye jaribio jingine moja kwa ngozi hii. Wakati huu uifanye ngozi hii kavu na ardhi yote ifunikwe na umande.”
To pacoeng ah Gideon mah Sithaw khaeah, Ka nuiah palungphui hmah raeh; tahmenhaih hoi vaito kang hnik let han vop; tuumui khukbuen hoi vaito tanoekhaih ka sak let han vop; vaihi loe tuumui khukbuen to phui nasoe loe, long ah dantui sui nasoe, tiah a naa.
40 Usiku ule Mungu akafanya hivyo. Ngozi ile ilikuwa kavu, nayo ardhi yote ikafunikwa na umande.
A thuih ih lok baktih toengah to naqum ah Sithaw mah sak pae; tuumui khukbuen khue to phuih moe, long ah loe dantui to krak.
