Yerub-Baʼaal namichi Gidewoon jedhamu sunii fi namoonni isaa hundi ganama kaʼanii burqaa Harood bira qubatan. Qubanni Midiyaanotaa iddoo namoonni Gidewoon qubatan sanaan karaa kaabaatiin gaara Mooree bira sulula keessa ture.
2 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Gideon sɛ, “Akofoɔ a wɔka wo ho no dɔɔso dodo. Sɛ mema mo nyinaa ko tia Midianfoɔ a, Israelfoɔ no bɛhoahoa wɔn ho akyerɛ me sɛ wɔn ara nam wɔn ahoɔden so na wɔgyee wɔn ho sii hɔ.
Waaqayyos Gidewooniin akkana jedhe; “Akka ani Midiyaanota dabarsee harka isaaniitti hin kennineef Israaʼeloonni si wajjin jiran akka male baayʼee dha. Akka sabni Israaʼel, ‘Jabina kootu na oolche’ jedhee natti hin koorreef,
3 Ɛno enti, ka kyerɛ nnipa no sɛ, ‘Obiara a ɔyɛ tebɔɔ anaa ɔsuro no, ɔnyi ne ho mfiri mu na ɔnkɔ efie.’” Wɔn mu ɔpeduonu mmienu na wɔkɔɔ fie, ɛnna ɛkaa wɔn mu ɔpedu a wɔpɛɛ sɛ wɔbɛko.
‘Namni sodaatee hollate kam iyyuu Tulluu Giliʼaad dhiisee gara mana isaatti haa deebiʼu’ jedhiitii amma sabatti himi.” Kanaafuu namoonni kuma digdamii lama deebiʼanii kuma kudhan achitti hafan.
4 Nanso, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Gideon sɛ, “Wɔdɔɔso ara. Fa wɔn bra asuo no ho na mɛsa wɔn mu ayi wɔn a wo ne wɔn bɛkɔ ne wɔn a wɔne wo renkɔ.”
Waaqayyo garuu Gidewooniin akkana jedhe; “Amma iyyuu namoota baayʼeetu jira. Isaan fudhadhuutii gara bishaaniitti gad buʼi; ani achitti isaan gargari siif foʼa. Yoo ani, ‘Inni kun si wajjin ni deema’ jedhe, inni ni deema; yoo ani, ‘Inni kun si wajjin hin deemu’ jedhe garuu inni hin deemu.”
5 Ɛberɛ a Gideon de nʼakofoɔ no kɔɔ nsuo no ho no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Kyɛ nnipa no mu akuo mmienu. Fa nnipa a wɔbɔ nsuo gu wɔn nsam na wɔde wɔn tɛkrɛma tafere no sɛ nkraman no kɔ ekuo baako mu. Ekuo a ɛtɔ so mmienu no nso, fa wɔn a wɔbu nkotodwe de wɔn ano nom nsuo wɔ asuwa mu no hyɛ mu.”
Kanaafuu Gidewoon namoota gara bishaaniitti gad buuse. Waaqayyos achitti, “Warra akkuma sareetti arrabaan bishaan dhugan, warra jilbeenfatanii dhugan irraa gargari baasi” isaan jedhe.
6 Mmarima no mu ahasa pɛ na na wɔnom nsuo firi wɔn nsa mu. Wɔn a aka no nyinaa nso, na wɔbu nkotodwe de wɔn ano nom nsuo firi asuwa no mu.
Namoonni dhibba sadii konyee isaaniitiin waraabbatanii dhugan. Warri hafan hundi garuu dhuguuf jilbeenfatan.
7 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Gideon sɛ, “Menam saa mmarima ahasa yi so bɛgye mo, na mama moadi Midianfoɔ no so nkonim. Ma wɔn a aka no nyinaa nkɔ fie.”
Waaqayyo Gidewooniin, “Ani namoota harka isaaniitiin dhugan dhibba sadan kanaan si furee Midiyaanota dabarsee harka keetti nan kenna. Warri kaan hundi gara qeʼee isaaniitti haa deebiʼan” jedheen.
8 Enti, Gideon gyegyee wɔn akwansoduane ne ntotorobɛnto firii akofoɔ no nkyɛn ma wɔkɔɔ fie. Ɛnna ɔmaa mmarima ahasa no kaa ne nkyɛn. Na Midianfoɔ no atenaeɛ wɔ bɔnhwa a ɛwɔ Gideon ase pɛɛ.
Kanaafuu Gidewoon akka Israaʼeloonni hafan hundi gara dunkaana isaaniitti deebiʼan godhee namoota dhibba sadan garuu turfate; isaanis warra kaan irraa galaa fi malakata fudhatan. Qubanni Midiyaanotaas Gidewooniin gad sulula keessa ture.
9 Anadwo no, Awurade kaa sɛ, “Sɔre! Kɔ Midianfoɔ no atenaeɛ no mu wɔ aseɛ hɔ, na mɛma mo adi wɔn so nkonim!
Halkanuma sana Waaqayyo Gidewooniin akkana jedhe; “Kaʼiitii qubata sanatti gad buʼi; ani dabarsee harka keetti siifin kennaatii.

12 Saa ɛberɛ no na Midianfoɔ, Amalekfoɔ ne nnipa no nkaeɛ a wɔfifiri apueeɛ fam no abɛyɛ bitibiti te sɛ ntutummɛ wɔ bɔnhwa no mu. Na wɔn nyoma nso dodoɔ te sɛ mpoano anwea. Wɔdɔɔso dodo!
Midiyaanonni, Amaaleqoonnii fi namoonni baʼa biiftuutii dhufan hundi akkuma hoomaa hawwaannisaa walitti gobbatanii sululicha keessa qubatanii turan. Baayʼinni gaalawwan isaaniis akkuma cirracha qarqara galaanaa lakkoobsa hin qabu ture.
13 Gideon weaweaa kɔduruu hɔ no, na ɔbarima bi reka ne daeɛ a ɔsoeɛ akyerɛ nʼadamfo bi sɛ, “Mesoo daeɛ na burodo kurukuruwa bi ate abɛhwe Midianfoɔ atenaeɛ. Ɛkɔpem ntomadan no bi na ɛbu faa so ma ɛkɔhwee ase!”
Gidewoonis utuu namichi tokko waaʼee abjuu isaa michuu ofii isaatti himuu achi gaʼe. Namichi sunis akkana jedhe; “Ani abjuu tokko nan abjoodhe; kunoo maxinoon garbuu tokko gangalachaa dhufee qubata Midiyaanotaa irra buʼe. Innis dhufee akka dunkaanni jiguuf humnaan dhaʼe; dunkaanni sunis ni kufe.”
14 Nʼadamfo no kaa sɛ, “Wo daeɛ no kyerɛ adeɛ baako pɛ. Onyankopɔn de Midian ne ne mpamfoɔ nyinaa so nkonimdie ahyɛ Yoas babarima Gideon, Israelni no nsa.”
Michuun isaas deebisee, “Kun goraadee Gidewoon ilma Yooʼaash Israaʼelichaati malee waan biraa miti. Waaqnis Midiyaanotaa fi guutummaa qubata sanaa dabarsee harka Gidewoonitti kenneera” jedhe.
15 Ɛberɛ a Gideon tee daeɛ no ne nʼasekyerɛ no, ɔkoto sɔree Onyankopɔn. Ɔsane baa Israel atenaeɛ mu teaam sɛ, “Monsɔre! Awurade de Midianfoɔ ahyɛ mo nsa.”
Gidewoon yommuu abjuu sanaa fi hiikkaa isaa dhagaʼetti Waaqaaf sagade. Gara qubata Israaʼelootaattis deebiʼee, “Kaʼaa! Waaqayyo qubata Midiyaanotaa dabarsee harka keessanitti kenneeraa” jedhe.
16 Ɔkyɛɛ mmarima ahasa no mu akuakuo mmiɛnsa. Ɔde ntotorobɛnto ne dɔteɛ kuruwa a ogyatɛn hyehyɛ mu maa wɔn.
Innis namoota dhibba sadan garee sadiitti qooduudhaan, harka hunda isaaniitti malakataa fi okkotee guci keessa jiru qabachiise.
17 Afei, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monhwɛ me. Monni mʼakyi. Sɛ meduru atenaeɛ no mfikyire a, deɛ mɛyɛ biara no, monyɛ bi.
Gidewoonis akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Na ilaalaa; waan ani hojjedhus hojjedhaa; yommuu ani qarqara qubatichaatti dhiʼaadhutti qalbeeffadhaatii waanuma ani godhu godhaa.
18 Sɛ me ne wɔn a wɔka me ho nyinaa hyɛn ntotorobɛnto no a, mo a moatwa atenaeɛ no ho ahyia no nyinaa, mo nso monhyɛn mo deɛ na monteam sɛ, ‘Yɛko ma Awurade ne Gideon.’”
Yeroo anii fi warri na wajjin jiran hundii malakata keenya afuufnutti, isinis naannoo qubatichaa hundatti afuufaatii, ‘Waaqayyoof, Gidewooniifis’ jedhaa iyyaa.”
19 Anadwo dasuo mu a wɔasesa awɛmfoɔ no awie pɛ, na Gideon ne mmarima ɔha a wɔka ne ho no kɔduruu Midianfoɔ atenaeɛ mfikyire. Mpofirim wɔhyɛnee wɔn ntotorobɛnto no, bobɔɔ dɔteɛ nkuruwa a na ɛhyehyɛ wɔn nsam no.
Gidewoonii fi namoonni isa wajjin turan dhibbi sun akkuma waardiyyoonni wal geeddaraniin jalqaba eegumsa walakkaa halkaniitti qarqara qubata sanaa bira gaʼan. Isaanis malakata isaanii afuufanii okkotee harka isaanii jiru caccabsan.
20 Afei akuo mmiɛnsa no nyinaa hyɛnee wɔn ntotorobɛnto bobɔɔ wɔn nkuruwa. Na wɔkurakura ogyatɛn a ɛrederɛ no wɔ wɔn nsa benkum mu na wɔkurakura ntotorobɛnto wɔ wɔn nsa nifa mu, wɔteaam sɛ, “Awurade akofena yɛ Gideon akofena!”
Gareen sadanuu malakata isaanii afuufanii okkotee harka isaanii jiru caccabsan. Harka bitaatti guca, harka mirgaatti immoo malakata afuufan qabatanii, “Goraadee Waaqayyootii fi Gidewoon!” jedhanii iyyan.

Tokkoon tokkoon namaas naannoo qubatichaatti iddoo kennameef qabate; Midiyaanonni hundis iyyaa baqatan.
22 Ɛberɛ a Israelfoɔ ahasa no hyɛnee wɔn ntotorobɛnto no, Awurade maa wɔn atamfoɔ akofoɔ a wɔwɔ atenaeɛ hɔ no twaa wɔn ho de akofena ne wɔn ho koeɛ. Wɔn a wɔanwu no dwane kɔduruu Bet-Sita a ɛbɛn Serera ne Abel-Mehola hyeɛ a ɛbɛn Tabat so.

23 Afei, Gideon soma kɔfaa Naftali, Aser ne Manase akofoɔ a wɔbɛboa ma wɔtaa Midian akodɔm a wɔredwane no.

Gidewoonis guutummaa biyya gaaraa Efreemitti ergamoota ergee, “Kottaa Midiyaanotatti duulaatii bishaanota hamma Beet Baaraatti jiranii fi laga Yordaanos isaan dursaatii qabadhaa” jedhe. Kanaafuu namoonni Efreem hundi baʼanii bishaanota hamma Beet Baaraatti jiranii fi laga Yordaanos qabatan.
