Judges 6

1 Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì túnṣe ohun tí ó burú ní ojú Olúwa, Ó sì fi wọ́n lé àwọn ará Midiani lọ́wọ́ fún ọdún méje.

Afterwarde the children of Israel committed wickednesse in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord gaue them into the handes of Midian seuen yeres.

2 Agbára àwọn ará Midiani sì pọ̀ púpọ̀ lórí àwọn Israẹli, wọ́n sì hùwà ipá sí wọn, nítorí ìdí èyí, àwọn Israẹli sálọ sí àwọn orí òkè, wọ́n sì kọ́ àgọ́ fún ara wọn nínú ihò àpáta, àti nínú ọ̀gbun àti ní ibi agbára nínú àpáta.

And the hand of Midian preuayled against Israel, and because of the Midianites the children of Israel made them dennes in the mountaines, and caues, and strong holdes.

3 Ní ìgbàkúgbà tí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli bá ti gbin ọ̀gbìn wọn, àwọn ará Midiani, àwọn ará Amaleki àti àwọn ará ìlà-oòrùn mìíràn yóò wá láti bá wọn jà.

When Israel had sowen, then came vp the Midianites, the Amalekites, and they of the East, and came vpon them,

4 Wọn yóò tẹ̀dó sí orí ilẹ̀ náà, wọn a sì bá irúgbìn wọ̀nyí jẹ́ títí dé Gasa, wọn kì í sì í fi ohun alààyè kankan sílẹ̀ fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, kì bá à ṣe àgùntàn, màlúù tàbí kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́.

And camped by them, and destroyed the fruite of the earth, euen til thou come vnto Azzah, and left no foode for Israel, neither sheepe, nor oxe, nor asse.

5 Wọn a máa wá pẹ̀lú ohun ọ̀sìn wọn àti àwọn àgọ́ wọn, wọn a sì dàbí eṣú nítorí i púpọ̀ wọn. Ènìyàn kò sì lè ka iye àwọn ènìyàn náà bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn ìbákasẹ, wọ́n pọ̀ dé bi pé wọn kò ṣe é kà ní iye, wọn a bo ilẹ̀ náà wọn a sì jẹ ẹ́ run.

For they went vp, and their cattel, and came with their tentes as grashoppers in multitude: so that they and their camels were without number: and they came into the land to destroy it.

6 Àwọn ará Midiani sì pọ́n àwọn ọmọ Israẹli lójú, wọ́n sọ wọ́n di òtòṣì àti aláìní, fún ìdí èyí wọ́n ké pe Olúwa nínú àdúrà fún ìrànlọ́wọ́.

So was Israel exceedingly impouerished by the Midianites: therefore the children of Israel cryed vnto the Lord.

7 Nígbà tí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ké pe Olúwa nítorí àwọn ará Midiani.

And when the children of Israel cryed vnto the Lord because of the Midianites,

8 Olúwa fi etí sí igbe wọn, ó sì rán wòlíì kan sí wọn, ẹni tí ó wí pé, “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí: mo mú yín gòkè ti Ejibiti wá, láti oko ẹrú.

The Lord sent vnto the children of Israel a Prophet, who sayd vuto them, Thus sayth the Lord God of Israel, I haue brought you vp from Egypt, and haue brought you out of the house of bondage,

9 Mo gbà yín kúrò nínú agbára Ejibiti àti kúrò ní ọwọ́ gbogbo àwọn aninilára yín. Mo lé wọn kúrò ní iwájú yín, mo sì fi ilẹ̀ wọn fún yín.

And I haue deliuered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all that oppressed you, and haue cast them out before you, and giuen you their land.

10 Mo wí fún un yín pé, ‘Èmi ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín; ẹ má ṣe sin àwọn òrìṣà àwọn ará Amori, ní ilẹ̀ ẹni tí ẹ̀yin ń gbé.’ Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin kò gbọ́rọ̀ sí ohun tí mo sọ.”

And I sayde vnto you, I am the Lord your God: feare not the gods of the Amorites in whose lande you dwell: but ye haue not obeyed my voyce.

11 Ní ọjọ́ kan angẹli Olúwa wá, ó sì jókòó ní abẹ́ igi óákù Ofira èyí ti ṣe ti Joaṣi ará Abieseri, níbi tí Gideoni ọmọ rẹ̀ ti ń lu ọkà jéró, níbi ìpọntí wáìnì láti fi pamọ́ kúrò níwájú àwọn ará Midiani.

And the Angell of the Lord came, and sate vnder the oke which was in Ophrah, that perteined vnto Ioash the father of the Ezrites, and his sonne Gideon threshed wheate by the winepresse, to hide it from the Midianites.

12 Nígbà tí angẹli Olúwa fi ara han Gideoni, ó wí fún un pé, “Olúwa wà pẹ̀lú rẹ, akọni ológun.”

Then the Angel of the Lord appeared vnto him, and said vnto him, The Lord is with thee, thou valiant man.

13 Gideoni dáhùn pé, “Alàgbà, bí Olúwa bá wà pẹ̀lú wa, kí ló dé tí gbogbo ìwọ̀nyí fi ń ṣẹlẹ̀ sí wa? Níbi gbogbo àwọn iṣẹ́ ìyanu rẹ tí àwọn baba wa ròyìn rẹ̀ fún wa nígbà tí wọ́n wí pé, ‘Olúwa kò ha mú wa gòkè láti ilẹ̀ Ejibiti wá?’ Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí Olúwa ti kọ̀ wá sílẹ̀, ó sì ti fi wá lé àwọn ará Midiani lọ́wọ́.”

To whome Gideon answered, Ah my Lord, if the Lord be with vs, why then is all this come vpon vs? and where be all his miracles which our fathers tolde vs of, and sayd, Did not the Lord bring vs out of Egypt? but now the Lord hath forsaken vs, and deliuered vs into the hand of the Midianites.

14 Olúwa sì yípadà sí i, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Lọ nínú agbára tí o ní yìí, kí o sì gba àwọn ará Israẹli sílẹ̀ kúrò lọ́wọ́ àwọn ará Midiani. Èmi ni ó ń rán ọ lọ.”

And the Lord looked vpon him, and sayd, Goe in this thy might, and thou shalt saue Israel out of the handes of the Midianites: haue not I sent thee?

15 Gideoni sì dáhùn pé, “Yéè olúwa mi, ọ̀nà wo ni èmi yóò fi gba Israẹli là? Ìdílé mi ni ó jẹ́ aláìlera jù ní Manase, àti pé èmi ni ó sì kéré jù ní ìdílé baba mi.”

And he answered him, Ah my Lord, whereby shall I saue Israel? beholde, my father is poore in Manasseh, and I am the least in my fathers house.

16 Olúwa sì dáhùn pé, “Èmi yóò wà pẹ̀lú rẹ, ìwọ yóò sì pa gbogbo àwọn ará Midiani láì ku ẹnìkankan.”

Then the Lord sayd vnto him, I wil therefore be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites, as one man.

17 Gideoni sì dáhùn pé, nísinsin yìí tí mo bá bá ojúrere rẹ pàdé, fún mi ní àmì pé ìwọ ni ń bá mi sọ̀rọ̀.

And he answered him, I pray thee, if I haue founde fauour in thy sight, then shewe me a signe, that thou talkest with me.

18 Jọ̀wọ́ má ṣe kúrò níbí títí èmi yóò fi mú ọrẹ wá fún ọ kí n sì gbé e sí iwájú rẹ. Olúwa sì wí pé, “Èmi yóò dúró títí ìwọ yóò fi dé.”

Depart not hence, I pray thee, vntil I come vnto thee, and bring mine offring, and lay it before thee. And he sayde, I will tary vntill thou come againe.

19 Gideoni sì yára wọ ilé lọ, ó sì pa ọ̀dọ́ ewúrẹ́ kan, wọ́n sì sè é, ó sì mú ìyẹ̀fun efa kan, ó fi ṣe àkàrà aláìwú. Ó gbé ẹran náà sínú agbọ̀n, ṣùgbọ́n ó fi ọbẹ̀ rẹ̀ sínú ìkòkò, ó gbé wọn jáde tọ angẹli náà wá bí ọrẹ lábẹ́ igi óákù.

Then Gideon went in, and made ready a kidde, and vnleauened bread of an Ephah of floure, and put the flesh in a basket, and put the broth in a pot, and brought it out vnto him vnder the oke, and presented it.

20 Angẹli Ọlọ́run náà sì wí fún un pé, “Gbé ẹran náà àti àkàrà àìwú náà, sí orí àpáta yìí, kí o sì da omi ọbẹ̀ rẹ̀ sí orí rẹ̀.” Gideoni sì ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀.

And the Angell of God saide vnto him, Take the flesh and the vnleauened bread, and lay them vpon this stone, and powre out the broth: and he did so.

21 Angẹli Olúwa sì fi orí ọ̀pá tí ó wà ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀ kan ẹran àti àkàrà àìwú náà. Iná sì jáde láti inú àpáta, ó sì jó ẹran àti àkàrà náà, kò sì rí angẹli náà mọ́.

Then the Angell of the Lord put forth the ende of the staffe that he had in his hand, and touched the flesh and the vnleauened bread: and there arose vp fire out of the stone, and consumed the flesh and the vnleauened bread: so the Angel of the Lord departed out of his sight.

22 Nígbà tí Gideoni sì ti mọ̀ dájúdájú pé angẹli Olúwa ni, ó ké wí pé, “Háà! Olúwa Olódùmarè! Mo ti rí angẹli Olúwa ní ojúkorojú!”

And when Gideon perceiued that it was an Angel of the Lord, Gideon then sayde, Alas, my Lord God: for because I haue seene an Angell of the Lord face to face, I shall die.

23 Ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa wí fún un pé, “Àlàáfíà! Má ṣe bẹ̀rù, ìwọ kì yóò kùú.”

And the Lord said vnto him, Peace be vnto thee: feare not, thou shalt not die.

24 Báyìí ni Gideoni mọ pẹpẹ kan fún Olúwa níbẹ̀, ó sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní “Àlàáfíà ni Olúwa.” Ó sì wà ní Ofira ti Abieseri títí di òní.

Then Gideon made an altar there vnto the Lord, and called it, Iehouah shalom: vnto this day it is in Ophrah, of the father of the Ezrites.

25 Ní òru ọjọ́ náà Olúwa wí fún un pé, mú akọ màlúù baba rẹ, àní akọ màlúù kejì ọlọ́dún méje. Wó pẹpẹ Baali baba rẹ lulẹ̀, kí o sì bẹ́ igi ère òrìṣà Aṣerah tí ó wà ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ rẹ̀ lulẹ̀.

And the same night the Lord sayd vnto him, Take thy fathers yong bullocke, and an other bullocke of seuen yeeres olde, and destroy the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut downe the groue that is by it,

26 Lẹ́yìn èyí kí o wá mọ pẹpẹ èyí tí ó yẹ fún Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ lórí òkè yìí. Kí o sì mú akọ màlúù kejì, kí o sì mú igi ère òrìṣà Aṣerah tí ìwọ bẹ́ lulẹ̀ rú ẹbọ sísun sí Olúwa.

And build an altar vnto the Lord thy God vpon the top of this rocke, in a plaine place: and take the seconde bullocke, and offer a burnt offringe with the woode of the groue, which thou shalt cut downe.

27 Gideoni mú mẹ́wàá nínú àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀, ó sì ṣe bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún un ṣùgbọ́n, nítorí ó bẹ̀rù àwọn ará ilé baba rẹ̀ àti àwọn ènìyàn ìlú náà kò ṣe é ní ọ̀sán, òru ni ó ṣe.

Then Gideon tooke tenne men of his seruants, and did as ye Lord bade him: but because he feared to doe it by day for his fathers housholde, and the men of the citie, he did it by night.

28 Nígbà tí ilẹ̀ ọjọ́ kejì mọ́, tí àwọn ènìyàn ìlú náà jí, wọ́n rí i pé àti fọ́ pẹpẹ Baali àti pé a ti bẹ́ igi ère òrìṣà Aṣerah tí ó wà ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ rẹ̀, a sì ti fi akọ màlúù kejì rú ẹbọ lórí pẹpẹ tí a ṣẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mọ.

And when the men of the citie arose early in the morning, beholde, the altar of Baal was broken, and the groue cut downe that was by it, and the seconde bullocke offred vpon the altar that was made.

29 Àwọn ènìyàn ìlú náà bi ara wọn wí pé, “Ta ni ó ṣe èyí?” Lẹ́yìn tí wọn fi ara balẹ̀ ṣe ìwádìí, wọ́n gbọ́ wí pé, “Gideoni ọmọ Joaṣi ni ó ṣe é.”

Therefore they saide one to another, Who hath done this thing? and when they inquired and asked, they saide, Gideon the sonne of Ioash hath done this thing.

30 Àwọn ọkùnrin ìlú náà sì wí fún Joaṣi wí pé, “Mú ọmọ rẹ jáde wá. Ó ní láti kú nítorí pé ó ti wó pẹpẹ Baali lulẹ̀ ó sì ti ké ère òrìṣà Aṣerah tí ó wà ní ẹ̀bá rẹ̀ lulẹ̀.”

Then the men of the citie said vnto Ioash, Bring out thy sonne, that hee may dye: for he hath destroyed the altar of Baal, and hath also cut downe the groue that was by it.

31 Ṣùgbọ́n Joaṣi bi àwọn èrò tí wọ́n fi ìbínú dúró tì í wí pé, “Ẹ̀yin yóò ha gbìjà Baali bí? Ẹ̀yin yóò ha gbà á sílẹ̀ bí? Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá gbìjà rẹ̀ kíkú ni olúwa rẹ̀ yóò kú ní òwúrọ̀. Bí Baali bá ṣe Ọlọ́run nítòótọ́ yóò jà fún ara rẹ̀ bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá wó pẹpẹ rẹ̀ lulẹ̀.”

And Ioash said vnto all that stood by him, Will ye pleade Baals cause? or will ye saue him? he that will contend for him, let him dye or the morning. If he be God, let him pleade for himselfe against him that hath cast downe his altar.

32 Fún ìdí èyí ní ọjọ́ náà wọ́n pe Gideoni ní “Jerubbaali” wí pé, “Jẹ́ kí Baali bá a jà,” nítorí pé ó ti wó pẹpẹ Baali.

And in that day was Gideon called Ierubbaal, that is, Let Baal pleade for himselfe because he hath broken downe his altar.

33 Láìpẹ́ jọjọ, àwọn ogun àwọn Midiani, ti àwọn Amaleki àti ti àwọn ènìyàn ìhà ìlà-oòrùn yòókù kó ara wọn jọ pọ̀ ní ìṣọ̀kan, wọ́n sì kọjá Jordani wọ́n sì tẹ̀dó sí àfonífojì Jesreeli.

Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and they of ye East, were gathered together, aud went and pitched in the valley of Izreel.

34 Ẹ̀mí Olúwa sì bà lé Gideoni, ó sì fun fèrè ìpè, láti pe àwọn ará Abieseri láti tẹ̀lé òun.

But the Spirit of the Lord came vpon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet, and Abiezer was ioyned with him.

35 Ó rán àwọn oníṣẹ́ la ilẹ̀ Manase já pé kí wọ́n dira ogun, àti sí Aṣeri, Sebuluni àti Naftali gbogbo pẹ̀lú sì lọ láti pàdé wọn.

And he sent messengers thorowout al Manasseh, which also was ioyned with him, and he sent messengers vnto Asher, and to Zebulun and to Naphtali, and they came vp to meete them.

36 Gideoni wí fún Ọlọ́run pé, “Bí ìwọ yóò bá gba Israẹli là nípasẹ̀ mi bí ìwọ ti ṣe ìlérí—

Then Gideon said vnto God, If thou wilt saue Israel by mine hand, as thou hast sayd,

37 kíyèsi, èmi yóò fi awọ irun àgùntàn lé ilẹ̀ ìpakà ní alẹ́ òní. Bí ìrì bá sẹ̀ sí orí awọ yìí nìkan tí gbogbo ilẹ̀ yòókù sì gbẹ, nígbà náà ni èmi yóò mọ̀ lóòótọ́ pé ìwọ yóò gba Israẹli là nípasẹ̀ mi bí ìwọ ti sọ.”

Beholde, I wil put a fleece of wooll in the threshing place: if the dewe come on the fleece onely, and it be drie vpon all the earth, then shall I be sure, that thou wilt saue Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said.

38 Èyí ni ó sì ṣẹlẹ̀. Nígbà tí Gideoni jí ní òwúrọ̀ ọjọ́ kejì, ó sì fún irun àgùntàn náà, ọpọ́n omi kan sì kún.

And so it was: for he rose vp earely on the morow, and thrust the fleece together, and wringed the dew out of the fleece, and filled a bowle of water.

39 Gideoni sì tún wí fún Ọlọ́run pé, “Jọ̀wọ́ má ṣe bínú sí mi, ṣùgbọ́n jẹ́ kí n tún wá ìdánilójú kan sí i, èmi bẹ̀ ọ́ jẹ́ kí n fi awọ irun yìí ṣe ìdánwò kan sí i. Ní àsìkò yìí, jẹ́ kí awọ irun yìí gbẹ kí gbogbo ilẹ̀ sì tutù pẹ̀lú ìrì.”

Againe, Gideon sayde vnto God, Be not angry with me, that I may speake once more: let me prooue once againe, I pray thee, with the fleece: let it now be drie onely vpon the fleece, and let dewe be vpon all the ground.

40 Ní òru náà Ọlọ́run ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, awọ irun àgùntàn nìkan ni ó gbẹ; gbogbo ilẹ̀ yòókù sì tutù nítorí ìrì.

And God did so that same night: for it was drie vpon the fleece onely, and there was dewe on all the ground.
