Judges 7
1 Ní òwúrọ̀ kùtùkùtù Jerubbaali (èyí ni Gideoni) pẹ̀lú gbogbo àwọn ọmọ-ogun tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ kó ogun jọ lẹ́bàá a orísun Harodi. Àwọn ogun Midiani sì wà ní apá àríwá tí wọ́n ní àfonífojì tí ó wà ní ẹ̀bá òkè More.
Jerub-baal (Gideon) and those who were with him got up early and went and camped by the Harod spring. The Midianite camp was to the north in the valley near the Moreh hill.
2 Olúwa wí fún Gideoni pé, “Àwọn ọmọ-ogun tí o kójọ sọ́dọ̀ ti pọ̀jù fún mi láti fi àwọn ogun Midiani lé wọn lọ́wọ́, kí Israẹli má ba à gbé ara rẹ̀ ga sí mi wí pé agbára òun ni ó gbà á là,
The Lord told Gideon, “There are too many soldiers with you for me to hand over the Midianites to them, otherwise Israel will brag to me, saying, ‘I saved myself by my own strength.’
3 sì kéde sí àwọn ènìyàn nísinsin yìí pé, ‘Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá ń gbọ̀n, tí ó sì ń bẹ̀rù lè padà sẹ́yìn, kí ó sì kúrò lórí òkè Gileadi.’” Báyìí ni Gideoni ṣe ya àwọn ènìyàn náà. Ẹgbẹ̀rún méjìlélógún ọkùnrin sì padà sẹ́yìn àwọn ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́wàá sì dúró.
So tell the soldiers, ‘Anyone who is worried or afraid can leave Mount Gilead and go back home.’” Twenty-two thousand of them went back home, but ten thousand stayed.
4 Olúwa sì tún sọ fún Gideoni pé, “Àwọn ènìyàn yìí sì tún pọ̀jù. Kó wọn lọ sí ibi tí omi wà, èmi yóò sì yọ̀rọ̀ wọn níbẹ̀ fún ọ. Bí mo bá wí pé eléyìí yóò bá ọ lọ yóò lọ, ṣùgbọ́n tí mo bá sọ pé, ‘Eléyìí kò ní bá ọ lọ,’ òun kò gbọdọ̀ lọ.”
Then the Lord told Gideon, “There are still too many soldiers. Take them down to the water and I will reduce them for you. Whoever I tell you, ‘He shall go with you,’ he shall go. But anyone that I say, ‘He shall not go with you,’ he shall not go.”
5 Gideoni sì kó àwọn ọkùnrin náà lọ sí ibi ìsun omi. Níbẹ̀ ni Olúwa ti wí fún un pé, “Kí ó pín àwọn ènìyàn náà sí ọ̀nà méjì. Ya àwọn tí ó fi ahọ́n wọn lá omi bí ajá kúrò lára àwọn tí ó kúnlẹ̀ láti mu omi pẹ̀lú ọwọ́ wọn.”
Gideon took the soldiers down to the water. The Lord told Gideon, “Set to one side those who lap the water with their tongues, like a dog does, and on the other side those who kneel down to drink.”
6 Ọ̀ọ́dúnrún ọkùnrin ni ó lá omi pẹ̀lú ahọ́n wọn. Gbogbo àwọn ìyókù ni ó kúnlẹ̀ láti mu mi.
Three hundred lapped water from their hands to their mouths. All the rest knelt down to drink the water.
7 Olúwa wí fún Gideoni pé, “Àwọn ọ̀ọ́dúnrún ọkùnrin tí ó lá omi ni èmi yóò lò láti gbà yín là àti láti fi ogun Midiani lé yín lọ́wọ́. Jẹ́ kí àwọn tókù padà sí ilé wọn.”
The Lord told Gideon, “With these three hundred men that lapped I will save you and hand over the Midianites to you. Let all the rest of the soldiers go home.”
8 Báyìí ni Gideoni ṣe dá àwọn Israẹli tí ó kù padà sí àgọ́ wọn, ṣùgbọ́n ó dá àwọn ọ̀ọ́dúnrún ọkùnrin náà dúró. Àwọn wọ̀nyí sì gba gbogbo ohun èlò àti fèrè àwọn tí ó ti padà. Ibùdó ogun àwọn Midiani wà ní àfonífojì ní ìsàlẹ̀. Ibi tí ó wà.
The three hundred took over the supplies and trumpets of the others. Gideon sent all the rest home, but held onto the three hundred men. The Midianite camp was below him in the valley.
9 Ní òru ọjọ́ náà Olúwa sọ fún Gideoni pé, “Dìde, dojú ogun kọ ibùdó ogun àwọn ará Midiani nítorí èmi yóò fi lé ọ lọ́wọ́.
That night the Lord spoke to Gideon, “Get up, go down and attack the camp, for I have handed it over to you.
10 Ṣùgbọ́n bí ẹ̀rù àti kọlù wọ́n bá ń bà ọ́, yọ́ wọ ibùdó wọn lọ kí o mú Pura ìránṣẹ́ rẹ lọ́wọ́
But if you are afraid to go down, go with your servant Purah to the camp.
11 kí o sì fi ara balẹ̀ gbọ́ ohun tí wọ́n ń sọ nínú ibùdó náà. Lẹ́yìn èyí ọkàn rẹ̀ yóò le láti kọlù ibùdó náà.” Báyìí ni òun àti Pura ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ wọ ẹnu-ọ̀nà ibùdó yìí.
You'll hear what they're talking about and then you'll have the courage to attack the camp.” So he took his servant Purah with him and went to the edge of the camp where armed men were on guard.
12 Àwọn ará Midiani, àwọn ará Amaleki àti gbogbo ènìyàn ìlà-oòrùn tó lọ ní àfonífojì bí eṣú ni wọ́n rí nítorí púpọ̀ wọn. Àwọn ìbákasẹ wọn kò sì lóǹkà, wọ́n sì pọ̀ bí yanrìn inú Òkun.
The Midianites, Amalekites, and all the peoples of the East filled the valley like a swarm of locusts, and as for their camels, they were as uncountable as the sand on the seashore.
13 Gideoni dé sí àsìkò tí ọkùnrin kan bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í rọ́ àlá tí ó lá sí ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ̀. Ó ní, “Mo lá àlá kan, nínú àlá náà mo rí àkàrà kan tó ṣe róbótó tí a fi barle ṣe ń yí wọ inú ibùdó àwọn ará Midiani, ó sì kọlu àgọ́ pẹ̀lú agbára ńlá dé bi wí pé àgọ́ náà dojúdé, ó sì ṣubú.”
Just as Gideon arrived, a man was telling his friend about a dream he'd had. He was saying, “I had this dream. I dreamed I saw a round loaf of barley bread come rolling into the Midianite camp. It hit a tent, knocking it upside-down, flat on the ground!”
14 Ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ̀ dá a lóhùn pé, “Èyí kò le túmọ̀ sí ohun mìíràn ju idà Gideoni ọmọ Joaṣi ará Israẹli lọ: Ọlọ́run ti fi àwọn ará Midiani àti gbogbo ogun ibùdó lé e lọ́wọ́.”
“This can only represent the victory by the sword of Gideon, son of Joash, a man of Israel,” his friend answered. “God has handed over to him the Midianites and everyone else camped here.”
15 Nígbà tí Gideoni gbọ́ àlá náà àti ìtumọ̀ rẹ̀, ó wólẹ̀ sin Ọlọ́run: lẹ́yìn náà ni ó padà sí ibùdó àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ó sì pè wọ́n pé, “Ẹ dìde! Nítorí pé Olúwa yóò lò yín láti ṣẹ́gun gbogbo ogun Midiani.”
When Gideon heard the dream and what it meant, he bowed in thanks to God. He went back to the Israelite camp and announced, “On your feet! For the Lord has handed over the Midianite camp to you!”
16 Nígbà tí ó ti pín àwọn ọ̀ọ́dúnrún ọkùnrin wọ̀n-ọn-nì sí ọ̀nà mẹ́ta, ó fi fèrè, pẹ̀lú àwọn òfìfo ìkòkò lé ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan wọn lọ́wọ́, iná sì wà nínú àwọn ìkòkò náà.
He divided the three hundred men into three companies. He handed them all trumpets, and empty jars with torches inside them.
17 Ó sọ fún wọn pé, “Ẹ máa wò mí, kí ẹ sì máa ṣe ohun tí mo bá ṣe. Nígbà tí mo bá dé igun ibùdó wọn ẹ ṣe ohun tí mo bá ṣe.
“Watch me and follow my example,” he told them. “So when I get to the edge of the camp, do exactly what I do.
18 Nígbà tí èmi àti àwọn ọkùnrin tí ó wà pẹ̀lú mi bá fun fèrè wa, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí ẹ̀yin náà ni gbogbo igun ibùdó tí ẹ̀ bá wà kí ẹ fun àwọn fèrè yín kí ẹ sì hó pé, ‘Fún Olúwa àti fún Gideoni.’”
Immediately I and those with me blow the trumpets, then you blow your trumpets from all around the camp, and shout, ‘For the Lord and for Gideon!’”
19 Gideoni àti àwọn ọgọ́rùn-ún ọkùnrin tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ dé òpin ibùdó àwọn ará Midiani ní nǹkan bí agogo méjìlá padà. Wọ́n fun fèrè wọn, wọ́n sì tún fọ́ àwọn ìkòkò tí ó wà ní ọwọ́ mọ́lẹ̀.
Gideon and the hundred men who with him arrived at the edge of the camp around midnight, after the guards were changed. They blew their trumpets and smashed the jars they were holding.
20 Àwọn ẹgbẹ́ mẹ́tẹ̀ẹ̀ta fun fèrè wọn, wọ́n tún fọ́ àwọn ìkòkò wọn mọ́lẹ̀. Wọ́n mú àwọn fìtílà iná wọn ní ọwọ́ òsì wọn àti fèrè tí wọ́n ń fun ní ọwọ́ ọ̀tún wọn. Wọ́n pariwo hé è pé, “Idà kan fún Olúwa àti fún Gideoni!”
All three companies blew their trumpets and smashed their jars. They held the torches in their left hands and the trumpets in their right hands, and they shouted, “A sword for the Lord and for Gideon!”
21 Nígbà tí ọkùnrin kọ̀ọ̀kan dúró ní ipò rẹ̀ yí ibùdó àwọn Midiani ká, gbogbo àwọn ọmọ-ogun Midiani ń sá káàkiri, wọ́n ń pariwo bí wọ́n ṣe ń sálọ.
Each man stood in his place encircling the camp, and all the enemy soldiers ran around shouting—then they fled.
22 Nígbà tí àwọn ọ̀ọ́dúnrún ọkùnrin wọ̀n-ọn-nì fun fèrè wọn, Olúwa sì yí ojú idà ọkùnrin kọ̀ọ̀kan padà sí ẹnìkejì rẹ̀ àti sí gbogbo ogun wọn. Àwọn ọmọ-ogun sì sá títí dé Beti-Sitta ní ọ̀nà Serera títí lọ dé ìpínlẹ̀ Abeli-Mehola ní ẹ̀bá Tabbati.
When they blew the three hundred trumpets, the Lord made all the men in the camp attack one other with their swords. The enemy army fled to Beth-shittah near Zererah, all the way to the border of Abel Meholah near Tabbath.
23 Gbogbo àwọn ọmọ-ogun Israẹli láti ẹ̀yà Naftali, Aṣeri àti gbogbo Manase ni Gideoni ránṣẹ́ si, wọ́n wá wọ́n sì lé àwọn ará Midiani.
The Israelite soldiers were summoned from Naphtali, Asher, and all of Manasseh, and they chased after the Midianites.
24 Gideoni tún ránṣẹ́ sí gbogbo àwọn ìlú tí ó wà ní orí òkè Efraimu wí pé, “Ẹ jáde wá bá àwọn ará Midiani jà, kí ẹ tètè gba àwọn omi Jordani títí dé Beti-Bara kí wọ́n tó dé bẹ̀.” Báyìí ni a ṣe pe gbogbo ọkùnrin ológun Efraimu jáde tí wọ́n sì gba gbogbo àwọn à bá wọ odò Jordani títí dé Beti-Bara.
Gideon sent messengers through all the hill country of Ephraim saying, “Come and attack the Midianites, and take control of the Jordan fords ahead of them as far as Beth-barah.” So all the men of Ephraim were summoned, and they took control of the Jordan fords as far as Beth-barah.
25 Wọ́n mú méjì nínú àwọn olórí àwọn ará Midiani, àwọn náà ni Orebu àti Seebu. Wọ́n pa Horebu nínú àpáta Orebu, wọ́n sì pa Seebu níbi tí àwọn ènìyàn ti mọ̀ fún wáìnì tí a ń pè ní ìfúntí Seebu.

They also captured Oreb and Zeeb, two of the Midianite commanders. They killed Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and Zeeb at the winepress of Zeeb. They continued chasing down the Midianites and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb back to Gideon who was on the other side of the Jordan.
