Fakamaau 6

1 Pea naʻe fai kovi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: pea naʻe tukuange ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ki he nima ʻo Mitiane:

Wana wa Israeli wakafanya yaliyo mabaya machoni pa Bwana; naye akawatia mikononi mwa Midiani kwa miaka saba.

2 Pea naʻe mālohi ʻae nima ʻo Mitiane ki ʻIsileli: pea ko e meʻa ʻi he kakai Mitiane naʻe ngaohi ʻe he kakai ʻIsileli moʻonautolu ʻae ngaahi toitoiʻanga ʻi he ngaahi ʻana, mo e ngaahi potu mālohi, ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga.

Uwezo wa Midiani uliwanyanyasa Israeli. Kwa sababu ya Midiani, watu wa Israeli walitengeneza makao wenyewe kutoka kwenye mabwawa katika milima, mapango, na ngome.

3 Pea naʻe pehē, feʻunga mo e tō ʻae taʻu ʻe ʻIsileli, naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae kakai Mitiane, mo e kakai ʻAmaleki, mo e fānau mei he potu hopoʻangalaʻā, ʻio, naʻe haʻu ʻakinautolu ketau kiate kinautolu;

Kisha ikawa kwamba wakati wowote Waisraeli walipopanda mazao yao, Wamidiani na Waamaleki na watu kutoka mashariki waliwavamia Waisraeli.

4 Pea naʻa nau fakanofo ʻae tau kiate kinautolu, pea naʻa nau maumau ʻae fua ʻoe fonua, ʻo fai atu ki Kesa, pea naʻe ʻikai tuku ha meʻakai ki ʻIsileli, pe ha sipi, pe ha pulu, pe ha ʻasi.

Waliweza kutengenezajeshi lao juu ya ardhi na kuharibu mazao, mpaka njia ya Gaza. Hawakuacha chakula huko Israeli, wala kondoo wala ng'ombe wala punda.

5 He naʻa nau ʻalu hake mo ʻenau fanga manu mo honau ngaahi tuʻu fale, pea nau haʻu ʻo hangē ko e fanga heʻe honau toko lahi; he ko kinautolu mo ʻenau ngaahi kāmeli naʻe taʻefaʻalaua: pea naʻa nau haʻu ki he fonua ko hono fakaʻauha.

Kila wakati wao na mifugo yao na mahema walipokuja, walikuja kama kundi la nzige, na haikuwezekana kuhesabu watu au ngamia zao. Walivamia ardhi ili kuiharibu.

6 Pea naʻe fakamasiva lahi ʻa ʻIsileli ko e meʻa ʻi he kakai Mitiane; pea naʻe tangi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kia Sihova.

Midiani iliwadhoofisha Waisraeli sana mpaka watu wa Israeli wakamwita Bwana.

7 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he tangi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kia Sihova ko e meʻa ʻi he kakai Mitiane,

Watu wa Israeli walipomwomba Bwana kwa sababu ya Midiani,

8 Naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova ʻae palōfita ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻa ne pehē kiate kinautolu, ʻoku pehē mai ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, “Naʻaku ʻomi ʻakimoutolu mei ʻIsipite, pea ʻomi ʻakimoutolu kituʻa mei he fale ʻoe fakapōpula;

Bwana alimtuma nabii kwa wana wa Israeli. Nabii akawaambia, Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, asema hivi, Nimekuleta kutoka Misri; Nilikutoa nje ya nyumba ya utumwa.

9 Pea naʻaku fakamoʻui ʻakimoutolu mei he nima ʻoe kakai ʻIsipite, pea mei he nima ʻokinautolu, kotoa pē naʻe fakamamahiʻi ʻakimoutolu, pea u kapusi atu ʻakinautolu mei homou ʻao, pea u foaki kiate kimoutolu honau fonua;

Naliwaokoa kutoka kwenye mikono ya Wamisri, na kutoka kwenye mkono wa wote waliokuwa wakikunyanyasa. Niliwafukuza mbele yenu, na nimewapa nchi yao.

10 Pea ne u pehē kiate kimoutolu, Ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua; ʻoua naʻa mou manavahē ki he ngaahi ʻotua ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ko e fonua ʻonautolu ʻoku mou nofo ai: ka kuo ʻikai te mou fai talangofua ki hoku leʻo.”

Niliwaambia, “Mimi ndimi Bwana, Mungu wenu; Nimewaamuru msiabudu miungu ya Waamori, ambao mnaishi katika nchi yao. Lakini hamkuitii sauti yangu.”

11 Pea naʻe haʻu ai ʻae ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova, pea nofo ʻi he lolo oke ʻaia naʻe ʻi Ofila, pea naʻe ʻo Soasi ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻApiesa: pea naʻe haha uite ʻe hono foha ko Kitione ʻo ofi ki he tataʻoʻanga uaine, ke fufū ia mei he kakai Mitiane.

Basi malaika wa Bwana akaja na kukaa chini ya mwaloni huko Ofra, uliokuwa wa Yoashi (Mwabiyezeri), wakati Gidioni, mwana wa Yoashi, akitenganisha ngano katika sakafu, katika kikapu cha divai-kuificha toka kwa Wamidiani.

12 Pea naʻe fakahāhā ʻae ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku ʻiate koe ʻa Sihova, ʻa koe ko e tangata mālohi mo toʻa.”

Malaika wa Bwana akamtokea, akamwambia, Bwana yu pamoja nanyi, mpiganaji mwenye nguvu!

13 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Kitione kiate ia, “ʻE hoku ʻEiki, kapau ʻoku ʻiate kimautolu ʻa Sihova, ko e hā kuo tō ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kiate kimautolu? Pea kuo ʻi fē ʻae ngaahi meʻa mana ʻaia naʻe tala ʻe heʻemau ngaahi tamai kiate kimautolu, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻIkai naʻe ʻomi ʻakimautolu ʻe Sihova mei ʻIsipite?’ Ka ko eni kuo liʻaki ʻakimautolu ʻe Sihova, pea kuo tukuange ʻakimautolu ki he nima ʻoe kakai Mitiane.”

Gideoni akamwambia, Oo, bwana wangu, ikiwa Bwana yu pamoja nasi, kwa nini basi yote haya yanatupata? Je, yako wapi matendo yake yote mazuri ambayo baba zetu walituambia, waliposema, 'Je! si Bwana aliyetukomboa kutoka Misri?' Lakini sasa Bwana ametuacha na kututia mikononi mwa Midiani. '

14 Pea naʻe ʻafio ʻa Sihova kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻAlu ʻi he mālohi ni ʻoʻou, pea te ke fakamoʻui ʻe koe ʻa ʻIsileli mei he nima ʻoe kakai Mitiane: ʻikai kuo u fekauʻi koe?”

Bwana akamtazama na kusema, “Nenda katika nguvu uliyo nayo tayari. Uiokoe Israeli kutoka mkononi wa Midiani. Je, sikukutuma?”

15 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “ʻE hoku ʻEiki, ʻe fakamoʻui fēfeeʻi ʻeau ʻa ʻIsileli? Vakai, ʻoku masiva hoku fale ʻi Manase, pea ko e siʻi hifo taha pe au ʻi he fale ʻo ʻeku tamai.”

Gideoni akamwambia, “Tafadhali, Bwana, nawezeje kuwaokoa Israeli? Angalia, familia yangu ni dhaifu zaidi katika Manase, na mimi si muhimu katika nyumba ya baba yangu.”

16 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate ia, Ko e moʻoni te u ʻiate koe, pea te ke taaʻi ʻae kakai Mitiane ʻo hangē ko e tangata pē taha.

Bwana akamwambia, “Nitakuwa pamoja nawe, nawe utalishinda jeshi lote la Midiani kama mtu mmoja.”

17 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “Ko eni kapau kuo u maʻu ʻae ʻofa ʻi ho ʻao, pea ke fakahā kiate au ha fakaʻilonga ʻoku ta alea mo koe.

Gideoni akamwambia, “Ikiwa unapendezwa na mimi, nipe basi ishara kwamba wewe ndio unenena nami.

18 ‌ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ʻoua naʻa ke ʻalu ʻi heni, kaeʻoua ke u haʻu kiate koe mo ʻeku meʻaʻofa, pea u fokotuʻu ia ʻi ho ʻao.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Te u tatali pē ke ʻoua ke ke toe haʻu.”

Tafadhali, usiondoke hapa, mpaka nitakapokuja kwako na kuleta zawadi yangu na kuiweka mbele yako.” Bwana akasema, “Nitasubiri mpaka utakaporudi.”

19 Pea naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Kitione, ʻo ne teu ʻae ʻuhikiʻi kosi, mo e mā taʻefakalēvani ʻi he efa ʻe taha ʻoe mahoaʻa: naʻa ne faʻo ʻae kakano ʻi ha kato, pea ne ʻai ʻae vaihū ki ha kulo, ʻo ne ʻomi ia ki he lolo oke, ʻo ne ʻatu ia.

Gideoni akaenda, akaandaa mwana mbuzi, na efa moja ya unga akafanya mikate isiyotiwa chachu. Akaiweka nyama hiyo katika kikapu, na akaweka mchuzi ndani ya sufuria na kuviletea chini ya mti wa mwaloni, akavitowa.

20 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua kiate ia, “Toʻo ʻae kakano mo e ngaahi mā taʻefakalēvani, pea ʻai ia ki he maka ni, pea lilingi ʻae vaihū.” Pea naʻa ne fai ia.

Malaika wa Mungu akamwambia, “Chukua nyama na mikate isiyotiwa chachu, ukaweke juu ya mwamba huu, ukamwage mchuzi juu yake.” Gideoni akafanya hivyo.

21 Pea naʻe toki mafao atu ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova ʻae muʻa tokotoko naʻe ʻi hono nima, ke lave ki he kakano mo e ngaahi mā taʻemeʻafakatupu; pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae afi mei he maka, pea naʻe ʻosiʻosi ai ʻae kakano mo e ngaahi mā taʻefakalēvani. Pea naʻe ʻalu ai ʻae ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova mei hono ʻao.

Kisha malaika wa Bwana akashika ncha ya fimbo mkononi mwake. Kwa hiyo akagusa nyama na mikate isiyotiwa chachu; moto ukatoka nje ya mwamba, ukateketeza nyama na mikate isiyotiwa chachu. Kisha malaika wa Bwana akaenda, na Gideoni hakuweza kumwona tena.

22 Pea ʻi he ʻilo ʻe Kitione ko e ʻāngelo ia ʻa Sihova, naʻe pehē ʻe Kitione, “ʻOiauē, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua! He kuo u mamata ki he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova ko e mata ki he mata.”

Gideoni alielewa kuwa yule alikuwa malaika wa Bwana. Gideoni akasema, “Ewe Bwana MUNGU! Kwa maana nimemwona malaika wa Bwana uso kwa uso!”

23 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate ia, “Ke fiemālie pe koe; ʻoua naʻa ke manavahē: ʻe ʻikai te ke mate.”

Bwana akamwambia, “Amani iwe kwako! Usiogope, huwezi kufa.”

24 Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ʻi ai ʻe Kitione ʻae feilaulauʻanga kia Sihova, ʻo ne ui ia, ko Sihova-Salomi: ʻoku ʻi Ofila ia ʻoe kau ʻApiesa ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.

Basi Gideoni akamjengea Bwana madhabahu huko. Aliiita, “Bwana ni Amani.” Hadi leo bado iko katika Ofra ya jamaa ya Waabiezeri.

25 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he pō pe ko ia, naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate ia, “Toʻo ʻae pulu mui ʻa hoʻo tamai, ʻio, hono ua ʻoe pulu ʻoku fitu taʻu ʻene motuʻa, pea tulaki hifo ʻae feilaulauʻanga ʻo Peali ʻaia naʻe langa ʻe hoʻo tamai, pea tā hifo ʻae vao tapu ʻoku ofi ki ai:

Usiku huo, Bwana akamwambia, “Twaa ng'ombe wa baba yako, na ng'ombe wa pili wa umri wa miaka saba, ukaondoe madhabahu ya Baali, ambayo ni ya baba yako, na kukata Ashera iliyo karibu nayo.

26 Pea ke langa ʻae feilaulauʻanga kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻi he funga ʻoe maka ni, ʻi he potu mālohi, pea ke ʻomi hono ua ʻoe pulu, pea ʻatu ia ko e feilaulau tutu ia, mo fefie ʻaki ʻae ʻakau ʻoe vao tapu ʻaia ke ke tā hifo.”

Jenga madhabahu kwa Bwana, Mungu wako juu ya mahali pa kukimbilia, na kuijenga njia sahihi. Toa ng'ombe ya pili kama sadaka ya kuteketezwa, ukitumia kuni kutoka Ashera uliyoikata. '

27 Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe Kitione ʻae kau tangata ko ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ʻe toko hongofulu, ʻo ne fai ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kiate ia: pea ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene manavahē ki he kakai ʻoe fale ʻo ʻene tamai, mo e kau tangata ʻoe kolo, naʻe ʻikai te ne mafai ia ʻi he ʻaho, pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ia ʻi he poʻuli.

Gideoni akachukua watumishi wake kumi na kufanya kama Bwana alivyomwambia. Lakini kwa sababu aliogopa sana watu wa nyumba ya baba yake na watu wa mji hakufanya hivyo wakati wa mchana, alifanya hivyo usiku.

28 Pea ʻi he tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻi he pongipongi ʻae kau tangata ʻoe kolo, vakai, ko e feilaulauʻanga ʻo Peali kuo tulaki ki lalo, pea kuo tā hifo mo e vao tapu naʻe ofi ki ai, pea ko hono ua ʻoe pulu kuo ʻosi hono ʻatu ʻo feilaulau ʻaki ki he feilaulauʻanga ʻaia naʻe langa.

Asubuhi wakati watu wa mji walipoamka, madhabahu ya Baali imebomolewa, na Ashera iliyokuwa karibu nayo imekatwa, na ng'ombe wa pili ametolewa sadaka kwenye madhabahu iliyojengwa.

29 Pea naʻa nau fepehēʻaki ʻiate kimautolu, “Ko hai kuo ne fai ʻae meʻa ni?” Pea ʻi heʻenau ʻeke mo fehuʻi, naʻa nau pehē, Kuo fai ʻae meʻa ni ʻe Kitione ko e foha ʻo Soasi.

Watu wa mji wakaambiana, “Ni nani aliyefanya jambo hili?” Walipokuwa wakiongea na wengine na kutafuta majibu, wakasema, 'Gidioni mwana wa Yoashi amefanya jambo hili.”

30 Pea pehē ai ʻe he kau tangata ʻoe kolo kia Soasi, “ʻOmi ho foha kituʻa ke tāmate ia: ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene tulaki hifo ʻae feilaulauʻanga ʻo Peali, pea ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene tā hifo ʻae vao tapu naʻe ofi ki ai.”

Ndipo watu wa mji wakamwambia Yoashi, “Mtoe mtoto wako ili afe, kwa sababu ameibomoa madhabahu ya Baali, na kwa sababu ameikata Ashera karibu nayo.”

31 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Soasi kiate kinautolu naʻe angatuʻu kiate ia, “Te mou langomakiʻi ʻa Peali? He te ne fakamoʻui ʻakimoutolu? Ko ia ʻoku langomakiʻi ʻa Peali ke tāmateʻi ia ʻi he kei pongipongi: kapau ko e ʻotua ia, ke langomakiʻi ia ʻe ia pe, koeʻuhi kuo tulaki hifo ʻe ha tokotaha ʻa hono feilaulauʻanga.”

Yoashi akawaambia wote waliompinga, “Je, ninyi mtamsihi Baali? Je, mtamuokoa? Mtu yeyote atakayemtetea, basi atauawa asubuhi hii. Ikiwa Baali ni mungu, basi atajitetea mwenyewe wakati mtu anaibomoa madhabahu yake.”

32 Ko ia naʻa ne ui ia ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ko Selupeali, ʻo pehē, “Tuku ke langomakiʻi ia ʻe Peali, he kuo ne tulaki hifo hono feilaulauʻanga.”

Kwa hiyo siku hiyo wakamwita Gideoni “Yerubaali,” kwa sababu alisema, “Baali ajijitetee dhidi yake,” kwa sababu Gidioni alivunja madhabahu ya Baali.

33 Pea naʻe toki fakataha ai ʻae kakai Mitiane kotoa pē mo e kakai ʻAmaleki mo e fānau kotoa pē ʻoe potu hahake, ʻonau ʻalu atu, ʻo ʻapitanga ʻi he teleʻa ʻo Sesilili.

Basi Wamidiani wote, Waamaleki, na watu wa mashariki walikusanyika pamoja. Wakavuka Yordani na wakapanga katika bonde la Yezreeli.

34 Ka naʻe hoko kia Kitione ʻae Laumālie ʻo Sihova, pea ne ifi ʻe ia ʻae meʻalea: pea naʻe fakataha ʻo muimui ʻiate ia ʻae kakai ʻApiesa.

Lakini Roho wa Bwana akaja juu ya Gideoni. Gideoni akapiga tarumbeta, akawaita jamaa ya Abiezeri, ili wapate kumfuata.

35 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe ia ki Manase kotoa pē, pea naʻa nau tānaki ʻo muimui ʻiate ia foki: pea naʻe fekau ʻe ia ki ʻAseli, pea ki Sepuloni, mo Nafitalai; pea naʻa nau haʻu ke fakafetaulaki kiate kinautolu.

Aliwatuma wajumbe wote katika Manase, na wao pia, waliitwa nje kumfuata. Naye akatuma wajumbe kwa Asheri, na Zabuloni, na Naftali; nao wakaenda kumlaki.

36 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Kitione ki he ʻOtua, Kapau te ke fakamoʻui ʻa ʻIsileli ʻaki hoku nima ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola,

Gideoni akamwambia Mungu, “Ikiwa ungependa kunitumia kuokoa Israeli, kama ulivyosema,

37 Vakai, te u ʻai ʻae fulufuluʻi sipi kotoa ki he kelekele: pea kapau ʻoku ʻi he fulufuluʻi sipi pe ʻae hahau, pea mōmoa ʻae kelekele kotoa pē, te u ʻilo ai te ke fakamoʻui ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi hoku nima, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola.

tazameni, ninaweka ngozi ya samazi kwenye sakafu. Ikiwa kuna umande tu juu ya ngozi, na ni kavu duniani, basi nitajua kwamba utanitumia kuokoa Israeli, kama ulivyosema.”

38 Pea naʻe pehē: he naʻe tuʻu pongipongi hake ia ʻi he pongipongi, ʻo tatau ʻae hahau mei he fulufuluʻi sipi, pea naʻe fonu ha ipu ʻi he vai.

Hivi ndivyo ilivyotokea-Gideoni aliamka mapama asubuhi, akaikamua ngozi hiyo, na akatoa umande kwenye ngozi, wa kutosha kujaza bakuli kwa maji.

39 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Kitione ki he ʻOtua, ʻoua naʻa tupu ʻo lahi hoʻo houhau kiate au, pea te u lea ke tuʻo taha ni: ʻoku ou kole kiate koe tuku au ke u ʻahiʻahiʻi koe ke tuʻo taha ni ʻaki ʻae fulufuluʻi sipi: tuku ke mōmoa pe ʻae fulufuluʻi sipi, kae ʻi he kelekele kotoa pē ʻae hahau.

Gideoni akamwambia Mungu, 'Usinikasirikie, nitasema tena kwa mara nyingine. Tafadhali niruhusu nijaribu tena kwa kutumia ngozi. Wakati huu uifanye kavu, na iwe na umande juu ya ardhi yote kuzunguka.

40 Pea naʻe fai ia ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi he pō ko ia: he naʻe mōmoa ʻae fulufuluʻi sipi pe, ka naʻe hahauʻia ʻae kelekele kotoa pē.

Mungu alifanya kile alichoomba usiku huo. Ngozi ilikuwa kavu, na kulikuwa na umande katika ardhi yote iliyozunguka.
