< Fakamaau 7 >
1 Pea naʻe tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻa Selupeali, ʻaia ko Kitione, mo e kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻiate ia, ʻonau ʻapitanga fakataha ʻi he veʻe vai ʻo Haloti: pea naʻe ʻi he potu tokelau ʻae tau lahi ʻoe kakai Mitiane, ʻo ofi ki he tafungofunga ʻo Mole, ʻi he teleʻa.
Rũciinĩ tene, Jerubu-Baali (nĩwe Gideoni) na andũ ake othe nĩmambire hema gĩthima-inĩ kĩa Harodi. Kambĩ ya Amidiani yarĩ mwena wao wa gathigathini kũu gĩtuamba-inĩ, hakuhĩ na karĩma ka More.
2 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Kitione, “Ko e kakai ʻoku ʻiate koe kuo tokolahi fau, ke tuku ki honau nima ʻae kakai Mitiane, telia naʻa vikiviki ai ʻa ʻIsileli kiate au, ʻo pehē, Ko hoku nima pē ʻoʻoku kuo ne fakamoʻui au.
Jehova akĩĩra Gideoni atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩ na andũ aingĩ mũno gũkĩra arĩa ngwenda nĩgeetha neane Amidiani moko-inĩ mao. Nĩgeetha Isiraeli matikanjĩtĩĩre atĩ nĩ hinya wao wamahonokia,
3 Pea ko eni, ke ke ʻalu, pea kalanga ʻi he telinga ʻoe kakai, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko ia fulipē ʻoku vaivai mo manavahē, ke foki ia ʻo ʻalu vave mei he moʻunga ko Kiliati.’” Pea naʻe foki ʻo ʻalu ʻae toko ua mano mo e toko ua afe ʻoe kakai; pea naʻe toe ʻae toko mano.
Na rĩrĩ, anĩrĩra kũrĩ andũ, ũmeere atĩrĩ, ‘Mũndũ o wothe ũrainaina nĩ guoya no ahũndũke, ehere Kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Gileadi.’” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ 22,000 na igĩrĩ makĩehera, magĩtigara 10,000.
4 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Kitione, “ʻOku kei tokolahi fau ʻae kakai: ke ke ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki he vai, pea te u ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi ai maʻau: pea ʻe pehē, ko ia ʻoku ou pehē ai kiate koe, Ko eni ia ʻe ʻalu mo koe, ko ia ia te mo ō: pea ko ia fulipē ʻoku ou pehē ai kiate koe, Ko eni ia ʻe ʻikai ʻalu mo koe, ko ia ia ʻe ʻikai te mo ō.”
No Jehova akĩĩra Gideoni atĩrĩ, “O na rĩu andũ no aingĩ mũno. Maikũrũkie maaĩ-inĩ, na nĩngũgũthuuranĩria andũ acio ho. Ingiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Ũyũ nĩegũthiĩ hamwe nawe,’ ũcio nĩwe ũrĩthiĩ nawe; no ingiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Ũyũ ndegũthiĩ hamwe nawe,’ ũcio ndegũthiĩ nawe.”
5 Ko ia ne ʻave ʻae kakai ki he vai pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Kitione, “Ko ia fulipē ʻoku ʻemo ʻae vai ʻaki hono ʻelelo, ʻo hangē ko e ʻemo ʻae kulī, te ke tuku kehe ia: pea ʻe pehē mo ia fulipē ʻoku punou ʻo tūʻulutui ki hono tui ke inu.”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Gideoni agĩikũrũkia andũ acio maaĩ-inĩ. Marĩ hau Jehova akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Amũrania arĩa mekũnyua maaĩ na rũrĩmĩ ta ũrĩa ngui ĩnyuuaga na arĩa mekũnyua maaĩ na hĩ ciao maturĩtie ndu.”
6 Pea ko hono lau ʻokinautolu naʻe ʻemo, ʻo ʻai honau nima ki honau ngutu, ko e kau tangata ʻe toko tolungeau: ka ko hono toe ʻoe kakai kotoa pē naʻe punou hifo ki honau tui ke inu ʻae vai.
Andũ magana matatũ makĩnyua maaĩ na hĩ ciao. Acio angĩ othe magĩturia ndu makĩnyua maaĩ.
7 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Kitione, “ʻI he kau tangata ʻe toko tolungeau ʻaia naʻe ʻemo te u fakamoʻui ʻakimoutolu, pea te u tukuange ʻae kakai Mitiane ki ho nima: pea tuku ʻae kakai kehe kotoa pē kenau ʻalu taki taha ki hono potu.”
Jehova akĩĩra Gideoni atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũmũhonokia na ũndũ wa andũ magana matatũ arĩa manyuire maaĩ na hĩ, neane Amidiani moko-inĩ manyu. Reke andũ acio angĩ othe mathiĩ, o mũndũ ainũke gwake.”
8 Ko ia naʻe toʻo ai ʻe he kakai ʻae meʻakai ʻi honau nima, mo ʻenau meʻalea: pea ne fekau hono toe ʻo ʻIsileli ʻae tangata taki taha ki hono fale fehikitaki, kae taʻofi ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko tolungeau ko ia: pea naʻe ʻi lalo ʻiate ia ʻae tau lahi ʻo Mitiane ʻi he teleʻa.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Gideoni akĩĩra andũ acio angĩ a Isiraeli macooke hema-inĩ ciao, no agĩtigwo na andũ magana matatũ, arĩa mooire rĩĩgu na tũrumbeta twa acio mainũkire. Na rĩrĩ, kambĩ ya Amidiani yarĩ mũhuro wake o kũu kĩanda-inĩ.
9 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he pō ko ia, naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kiate ia, “Tuʻu hake, pea ke ʻalu hifo ki [honau ]matatau; he kuo u tukuange ia ki ho nima.
Ũtukũ ũcio Jehova akĩĩra Gideoni atĩrĩ, “Ũkĩra, ũikũrũke ũtharĩkĩre kambĩ ĩyo ya Amidiani, tondũ nĩndĩmĩneanĩte moko-inĩ maku.
10 Pea kapau ʻoku ke manavahē ke ʻalu hifo, mo ō mo Fiula ko ho tauhi ki he tau lahi:
No angĩkorwo nĩũgwĩtigĩra gũtharĩkĩra-rĩ, gĩikũrũke kambĩ-inĩ mũrĩ na Pura ndungata yaku,
11 Pea ke fanongo ki he meʻa ʻoku nau lau: pea hili ia ʻe mālohi ho nima ke ke ʻalu hifo ai ki he tau.” Pea naʻe ʻalu hifo ia mo Fiula ko hono tauhi ki he potu ʻituʻa ʻi he kau tangata toʻo mahafutau naʻe ʻi he tau.
na ũthikĩrĩrie ũrĩa maroiga. Thuutha ũcio nĩũkũgĩa na hinya wa gũtharĩkĩra kambĩ ĩyo.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Gideoni na Pura ndungata yake magĩikũrũka nginya tũnyũmba-inĩ twa arangĩri a kambĩ ĩyo.
12 Pea naʻe mafola atu ʻi he teleʻa ʻae kakai Mitiane, mo e kakai ʻAmaleki, mo e fānau kotoa pē ʻoe potu hahake ʻo hangē ko e fanga heʻe hono toko lahi: pea ko ʻenau fanga kāmeli naʻe taʻefaʻalaua, ʻo hangē ko hono lahi ʻoe ʻoneʻone ʻi he matātahi.
Nao Amidiani, na Aamaleki na andũ othe a mwena wa irathĩro maikarĩte kĩanda kĩu maingĩhĩte ta ngigĩ. Ngamĩĩra ciao itingĩatarĩkire nĩ ũndũ ciarĩ nyingĩ ta mũthanga wa hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria ũrĩa ũtangĩtarĩka.
13 Pea ʻi he hoko ki ai ʻa Kitione, vakai, naʻe ʻi ai ʻae tangata naʻe fakahā ʻene misi ki hono tokoua, ʻo ne pehē, “Vakai, ne u misi ʻae misi, pea vakai, naʻe tō mai ha foʻi mā paʻale ki he tau lahi ʻo Mitiane, pea naʻe lave ia ki ha fale fehikitaki, pea holo ai, ʻo fulihi, pea naʻe holo ki lalo ʻae fale.”
Gideoni aakinyire ho o hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũndũ ũmwe eeraga mũratawe ũhoro wa kĩroto gĩake. Nake oigaga atĩrĩ, “Ndootete kĩroto ngoona mũgate wa cairi wa gĩthiũrũrĩ ũũkĩte ũkagwĩra kambĩ ya Amidiani. Ũragũthire hema na hinya mũnene mũno, nginya hema ĩrangʼaũka, ĩragũa.”
14 Pea naʻe lea hono tokoua, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai ha meʻa kehe eni, ka ko e heletā ʻa Kitione ko e foha ʻo Soasi, ko e tangata ʻIsileli: he kuo tuku ki hono nima ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa Mitiane, mo e tau kotoa pē.”
Mũrata wake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ ti ũndũ ũngĩ tiga rũhiũ rwa Gideoni mũrũ wa Joashu, ũrĩa Mũisiraeli. Ngai nĩaneanĩte Amidiani na kambĩ yao yothe moko-inĩ make.”
15 Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻa Kitione ki he fakahā ʻae misi, mo hono ʻuhinga ʻo ia, pea pehē, naʻe hū ia, pea toe liu atu ki he tau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo ne pehē, “Tuʻu hake he kuo tuku ʻe Sihova ki homou nima ʻae tau lahi ʻo Mitiane.”
Rĩrĩa Gideoni aiguire ũhoro wa kĩroto kĩu na ũtaũri wakĩo, akĩhooya Ngai. Agĩcooka nginya kambĩ-inĩ ya Isiraeli akĩmeeta akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũkĩrai! Jehova nĩaneanĩte kambĩ ya Amidiani moko-inĩ manyu.”
16 Pea naʻa ne vahe tolu ʻae kau tangata ʻe tolungeau ki he vāhenga kongakau ʻe tolu, ʻo ne ʻai ʻae meʻalea ʻi he nima ʻoe tangata kotoa pē, mo e ngeʻesi ipu, mo e maama ʻi he loto ipu.
Akĩgayania andũ acio magana matatũ ikundi ithatũ, akĩmanengera othe o mũndũ karumbeta na nyũngũ theri, ĩrĩ na kĩmũrĩ thĩinĩ.
17 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Sio mai kiate au, pea faʻifaʻitaki mai: pea vakai, ʻo kau ka hoko ki he potu ʻituʻa ʻoe ʻapitanga, pea ʻe pehē, ko ia te u fai ʻeau, ʻe pehē pe hoʻomou fai.
Nake akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ndoraai. Mwĩke o ũrĩa ngwĩka. Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ndĩrĩkinya mũthia-inĩ wa kambĩ, mwĩke o ũrĩa ndĩrĩka.
18 ʻO kau ka ifi ʻeau ʻae meʻalea, ʻeau mo kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate au, mou ifi meʻalea ʻakimoutolu foki ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻoe ʻapitanga kotoa pē, ʻo lea pehē, ‘[Ko e heletā ]ʻa Sihova, pea mo Kitione.’”
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa niĩ na arĩa othe ndĩ nao tũrĩhuha tũrumbeta twitũ, hĩndĩ ĩyo inyuothe mũthiũrũrũkĩirie kambĩ mũhuhe twanyu na mwanĩrĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ ũndũ wa Jehova o na wa Gideoni.’”
19 Ko ia naʻe hoko ʻa Kitione mo e kau tangata ʻe toko teau naʻe ʻiate ia, ki he tuʻa ʻapitanga ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻoe lakanga leʻo tuʻuapō: pea kuo nau toki fakanofo ʻae kau leʻo pea naʻa nau ifi ʻae ngaahi meʻalea, pea maumau ʻae ngaahi ipu naʻe ʻi honau nima.
Gideoni na andũ acio igana rĩmwe arĩa maarĩ nake magĩkinya mũthia wa kambĩ o kĩambĩrĩria-inĩ kĩa ũtukũ gatagatĩ, thuutha hanini wa gũcenjania arangĩri. Makĩhuha tũrumbeta twao na makĩũraga nyũngũ iria ciarĩ moko-inĩ mao.
20 Pea naʻe ifi meʻalea ʻe he kongakau ʻe tolu, pea maumau ʻenau ngaahi ipu, kae puke ʻae ngaahi maama ʻi honau nima, mo e meʻalea honau nima toʻomataʻu ke ifi ʻaki: pea naʻa nau kalanga, “Ko e heletā ʻa Sihova, pea mo Kitione.”
Ikundi icio ithatũ ikĩhuha tũrumbeta, na ikĩũraga nyũngũ. Maanyiitĩte imũrĩ na moko mao ma ũmotho, na makanyiita tũrumbeta twao twa kũhuha na moko mao ma ũrĩo, nao makĩanĩrĩra atĩrĩ, “Rũhiũ rwa njora rwa Jehova na rwa Gideoni!”
21 Pea naʻa nau tuʻu ʻae tangata taki taha ʻi hono potu ʻo takatakai ʻi he ʻapitanga: pea naʻe feleleʻi ʻae tau kotoa pē, pea tangi, mo hola.
Na rĩrĩa o mũndũ aarũgamire handũ hake gũthiũrũrũkĩria kambĩ-rĩ, Amidiani othe magĩtengʼera, magĩkayaga morĩte.
22 Pea naʻe ifi ʻaki ʻae meʻalea ʻe he toko tolungeau, pea naʻe fai ʻe Sihova ke ʻai ʻe he tangata kotoa pē ʻene heletā ki hono tokoua ʻi he tau kotoa pē: pea naʻe hola ʻae tau ki Pete-Sita ʻi Selelati, pea ki he potu ʻo ʻEpeli-Mihola, ʻo aʻu ki Tapati.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa tũrumbeta tũu magana matatũ twahuhirwo, Jehova agĩtũma andũ arĩa maarĩ kambĩ-inĩ yothe mahũũrane na hiũ ciao cia njora mũndũ na mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ. Nayo mbũtũ ĩyo yothe ĩkĩũrĩra Bethi-Shita ĩrorete Zerera o nginya mũhaka-inĩ wa Abeli-Mehola gũkuhĩ na Tabathu.
23 Pea naʻe fakataha ʻae kau tangata ʻo ʻIsileli mei Nafitali, pea mei ʻAseli, pea mei Manase kotoa pē, ʻonau tuli ki he kakai Mitiane.
Andũ a Isiraeli kuuma Nafitali, na Asheri na Manase guothe nĩmetirwo nao magĩtengʼeria Amidiani.
24 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Kitione ʻae kau talafekau ki he ngaahi potu kotoa pē ʻoe moʻunga ko ʻIfalemi, ʻo pehē, “Mou ʻalu hifo ʻo tauʻi ʻae kakai Mitiane pea muʻomuʻa atu ke maʻu ʻiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi vai ʻo aʻu ki Petepala mo Sioatani.”
Nake Gideoni agĩtũmana bũrũri wothe ũrĩa wa irĩma wa Efiraimu, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ikũrũkai mũhũũrane na Amidiani na mwĩnyiitĩre maaĩ ma Jorodani mbere yao o nginya Bethi-Bara.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ othe a Efiraimu nĩmetirwo, na makĩĩnyiitĩra maaĩ ma Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani o nginya Bethi-Bara.
25 Pea naʻa nau fakapōpula ʻae houʻeiki ʻe toko ua ʻoe kakai Mitiane, ko Olepi mo Siipi; pea nau tāmateʻi ʻa Olepi ʻi he fungamaka ko Olepi, pea nau tāmateʻi ʻa Siipi ʻi he tataʻoʻanga uaine ʻo Siipi, ʻonau tuli ʻa Mitiane, pea naʻa nau ʻomi ʻae ʻulu ʻo Olepi mo Siipi kia Kitione, ʻi he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani.
