Judges 8
1 Àwọn àgbàgbà ẹ̀yà Efraimu sì bínú gidigidi sí Gideoni wọ́n bi í léèrè pé, kí ló dé tí o fi ṣe irú èyí sí wa? Èéṣe tí ìwọ kò fi pè wá nígbà tí ìwọ kọ́kọ́ jáde lọ láti bá àwọn ará Midiani jagun? Ohùn ìbínú ni wọ́n fi bá a sọ̀rọ̀.
And the men of Ephraim said unto him—What is this thing thou hast done to us, in not calling us, when thou wentest to fight with Midian? And they did chide with him, sharply.
2 Ṣùgbọ́n Gideoni dá wọn lóhùn pé, “Àṣeyọrí wo ni mo ti ṣe tí ó tó fiwé tiyín? Àṣàkù àjàrà Efraimu kò ha dára ju gbogbo ìkórè àjàrà Abieseri lọ bí?
And he said unto them, What have I done, now, in comparison with you? Is not the grape-gleaning of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?
3 Ọlọ́run ti fi Orebu àti Seebu àwọn olórí àwọn ará Midiani lé yín lọ́wọ́. Kí ni ohun tí Mose ṣe tí ó tó fiwé e yín tàbí tí ó tó àṣeyọrí i yín?” Nígbà tí ó wí èyí ríru ìbínú wọn rọlẹ̀.
Into your hand, hath God delivered the princes of Midian—Oreb and Zeeb, what then had I been able to do in comparison with you? Then, was their spirit softened toward him, when he had spoken this word.
4 Gideoni àti àwọn ọ̀ọ́dúnrún ọkùnrin tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ tẹ̀síwájú láti lépa àwọn ọ̀tá bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ó ti rẹ̀ wọ́n, wọ́n dé Jordani wọ́n sì kọjá sí òdìkejì.
And Gideon came towards the Jordan, being about to pass over—he, and the three hundred men who were with him, faint yet pursuing.
5 Ó wí fún àwọn ọkùnrin Sukkoti pé, “Ẹ fún àwọn ọmọ-ogun mi ní oúnjẹ díẹ̀, nítorí ó ti rẹ̀ wọ́n, èmi sì ń lépa Seba àti Salmunna àwọn ọba Midiani.”
So he said unto the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves of bread to the people that are following me; for, faint, they are, and, I, am in pursuit of Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian.
6 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ìjòyè Sukkoti fèsì pé ṣé ọwọ́ rẹ ti tẹ Seba àti Salmunna náà ni? Èéṣe tí àwa yóò ṣe fún àwọn ológun rẹ ní oúnjẹ?
And the princes of Succoth said, Are the palms of the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in thy power, —that we should give to thine army bread?
7 Gideoni dá wọn lóhùn pé, “Ó dára, nígbà tí Olúwa bá fi Seba àti Salmunna lé mi lọ́wọ́ tán èmi yóò fi ẹ̀gún ijù àti ẹ̀gún òṣùṣú ya ẹran-ara yín.”
And Gideon said, Therefore, when Yahweh hath delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into my power, then will I tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness, and with the nettles.
8 Láti ibẹ̀, ó lọ sí Penieli ó sì bẹ̀ wọ́n bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn náà dá a lóhùn bí àwọn ará Sukkoti ti dá a lóhùn.
So he went up from thence, to Penuel, and spake unto them in like manner, —and the men of Penuel answered him, as had answered the men of Succoth.
9 Nígbà náà ni ó sọ fún àwọn ọkùnrin Penieli pé, “Nígbà tí mo bá ṣẹ́gun tí mo sì padà dé ní àlàáfíà, èmi yóò wó ilé ìṣọ́ yìí.”
So he spake to the men of Penuel also, saying, —When I return with success, I will break down this tower.
10 Ní àsìkò náà Seba àti Salmunna wà ní Karkori pẹ̀lú ọmọ-ogun wọn tí ó tó ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dógún ọkùnrin, àwọn wọ̀nyí ni ó ṣẹ́kù nínú gbogbo ogun àwọn ènìyàn apá ìlà-oòrùn, nítorí ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́fà ọkùnrin tí ó fi idà jà ti kú ní ojú ogun.
Now, Zebah and Zalmunna, were in Karkor, and their hosts with them, about fifteen thousand, all that were left out of all the host of the sons of the east, —and, the fallen, were a hundred and twenty thousand men, who had drawn the sword.
11 Gideoni gba ọ̀nà tí àwọn darandaran máa ń rìn ní apá ìhà ìlà-oòrùn Noba àti Jogbeha ó sì kọjú ogun sí àwọn ọmọ-ogun náà nítorí wọ́n ti túra sílẹ̀.
So Gideon went up by the way of the tent-dwellers, on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and smote the host, when, the host, had become secure.
12 Seba àti Salmunna, àwọn ọba Midiani méjèèjì sá, ṣùgbọ́n Gideoni lépa wọn ó sì mú wọn, ó run gbogbo ogun wọn.
And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled, then he pursued them, and captured the two kings of Midian—Zebah and Zalmunna, and, all the host, put he in terror.
13 Gideoni ọmọ Joaṣi gba ọ̀nà ìgòkè Heresi padà sẹ́yìn láti ojú ogun.
And Gideon son of Joash returned from the battle, —from the ascent of Heres;
14 Ó mú ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin kan ará Sukkoti, ó sì béèrè àwọn ìbéèrè ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀, ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin náà sì kọ orúkọ àwọn ìjòyè Sukkoti mẹ́tàdínlọ́gọ́rin fún un tí wọ́n jẹ́ àgbàgbà ìlú náà.
and caught a young man, of the men of Succoth, and enquired of him, —so he wrote down for him the princes of Succoth, and the elders thereof, seventy-seven men.
15 Nígbà náà ni Gideoni wá ó sọ fún àwọn ọkùnrin Sukkoti pé, “Seba àti Salmunna nìwọ̀nyí nípa àwọn tí ẹ̀yin fi mí ṣẹ̀fẹ̀ nígbà tí ẹ wí pé, ‘Ṣé ó ti ṣẹ́gun Seba àti Salmunna? Èéṣe tí àwa ó fi fún àwọn ọmọ-ogun rẹ tí ó ti rẹ̀ ní oúnjẹ?’”
Then came he in unto the men of Succoth, and said, Lo! Zebah and Zalmunna, —concerning whom ye did taunt me, saying—Are the palms of the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in thy power, that we should give to thy weary men bread?
16 Ó mú àwọn àgbàgbà ìlú náà, ó sì fi kọ́ àwọn Sukkoti lọ́gbọ́n nípa jíjẹ wọ́n ní yà pẹ̀lú àwọn ẹ̀gún ijù àti ẹ̀gún ọ̀gàn.
So he took the elders of the city, and the thorns of the wilderness and the nettles, and taught therewith the men of Succoth:
17 Ó wó ilé ìṣọ́ Penieli, ó sì pa àwọn ọkùnrin ìlú náà.
the tower of Penuel also, brake he down, —and slew the men of the city.
18 Gideoni bi Seba àti Salmunna pé, “Irú ọkùnrin tí ẹ pa ní Tabori, báwo ni wọ́n ṣe rí?” “Àwọn ọkùnrin náà dàbí rẹ ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan wọn dàbí ọmọ ọba,” ní ìdáhùn wọn.
Then said he unto Zebah and unto Zalmunna, What manner of men were they, whom ye slew at Tabor? And they said, As thou art, so were they, each one, as handsome as the sons of a king.
19 Gideoni dáhùn pé, “Arákùnrin mi ni wọ́n, àwọn ọmọ ìyá mi. Mo fi Olúwa búra, bí ó bá ṣe pé ẹ dá ẹ̀mí wọn sí, èmi náà ò nípa yín.”
And he said: My brethren, sons of my mother, they were! As Yahweh liveth, if ye had saved them alive, I would not have slain you.
20 Ó yí padà sí Jeteri, ọmọ rẹ̀ tí ó dàgbà jùlọ, ó wí fún un pé, “Pa wọ́n!” Ṣùgbọ́n Jeteri kò fa idà rẹ̀ yọ láti pa wọ́n nítorí ó jẹ́ ọ̀dọ́mọdé ẹ̀rù sì bà á láti pa wọ́n.
So he said to Jether his firstborn, Up! slay them. But the youth drew not his sword, for he feared, because he was yet a youth.
21 Seba àti Salmunna dá Gideoni lóhùn pé, “Wá pa wá fún raàrẹ, ‘Nítorí bí ènìyàn bá ti rí bẹ́ẹ̀ ni agbára rẹ̀ yóò rí.’” Gideoni bọ́ síwájú ó sì pa wọ́n, ó sì mú ohun ọ̀ṣọ́ tí ó wà ní ọrùn àwọn ìbákasẹ wọn.
Then said Zebah and Zalmunna—Up! thou, and fall upon us, for, like the man, is his might. So Gideon arose, and slew Zebah and Zalmunna, and took the crescents that were on the necks of their camels.
22 Àwọn ará Israẹli wí fún Gideoni pé, “Jọba lórí wa—ìwọ, àwọn ọmọ rẹ àti àwọn ọmọ ọmọ rẹ pẹ̀lú, nítorí tí ìwọ ti gbà wá lọ́wọ́ àwọn ará Midiani.”
Then said the men of Israel, unto Gideon, Rule over us—even thou, and thy son, and thy son’s son, —for thou hast saved us out of the power of Midian.
23 Ṣùgbọ́n Gideoni dá wọn lóhùn pé, “Èmi kì yóò jẹ ọba lórí yín, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn ọmọ mi kì yóò jẹ ọba lórí yín. Olúwa ni yóò jẹ ọba lórí yín.”
And Gideon said unto them, I, will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you, —Yahweh, shall rule over you.
24 Gideoni sì wí pé, “Mo ní ẹ̀bẹ̀ kan tí mo fẹ́ bẹ̀ yín kí ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan yín fún mi ní yẹtí kọ̀ọ̀kan láti inú ohun ti ó kàn yín láti inú ìkógun.” (Àṣà àwọn ará Iṣmaeli ni láti máa fi yẹtí wúrà sétí.)
And Gideon said unto them—I would make to you a request, Give me, then, every man the nose-ring of his spoil. For they had, nose-rings of gold, for, Ishmaelites, they were.
25 Wọ́n dáhùn pé, “Tayọ̀tayọ̀ ni àwa yóò fi wọ́n sílẹ̀.” Wọ́n tẹ́ aṣọ kan sílẹ̀ ọkùnrin kọ̀ọ̀kan sì ń sọ yẹtí kọ̀ọ̀kan tí ó kàn wọ́n láti ibi ìkógun síbẹ̀.
And they said, We will, freely give. So they spread out a mantle, and cast therein, every man the nose-ring of his spoil.
26 Ìwọ̀n òrùka wúrà tí ó béèrè fún tó ẹ̀ẹ́dẹ́gbẹ̀sán ìwọ̀n ṣékélì, láìka àwọn ohun ọ̀ṣọ́ àti ohun sísorọ̀ tí ó wà lára ìlẹ̀kẹ̀ ọrùn àti aṣọ elése àlùkò tí àwọn ọba Midiani ń wọ̀ tàbí àwọn ẹ̀wọ̀n tí ó wà ní ọrùn àwọn ìbákasẹ wọn.
And so it was, that the weight of the nose-rings of gold which he requested, was a thousand and seven hundred [shekels] of gold, —besides the crescents, and the pendants, and the raiment of purple that were upon the kings of Midian, and besides the ornaments that were on the necks of their camels.
27 Gideoni fi àwọn wúrà náà ṣe efodu èyí tí ó gbé kalẹ̀ ní Ofira ìlú rẹ̀. Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì sọ ara wọn di àgbèrè nípa sínsin-ín ní ibẹ̀. Ó sì di ìdẹ̀kùn fún Gideoni àti ìdílé rẹ̀.
And Gideon made thereof an Ephod, and set it up in his own city, in Ophrah, and all Israel went unchastely astray after it there, —so it became, to Gideon and to his house, a snare.
28 Báyìí ni a ṣe tẹrí àwọn ará Midiani ba níwájú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn kò tún gbé orí mọ́. Ní ọjọ́ Gideoni, Israẹli wà ní àlàáfíà fún ogójì ọdún.
Thus was Midian subdued, before the sons of Israel, neither did they again lift up their head, —and the land had rest forty years, in the days of Gideon.
29 Jerubbaali ọmọ Joaṣi padà lọ láti máa gbé ní ìlú rẹ̀.
So then Jerubbaal, son of Joash, went and dwelt in his own house.
30 Àádọ́rin ọmọ ni Gideoni bí, nítorí ó ní ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ àwọn ìyàwó.
And, Gideon, had seventy sons, sprung from his own loins, —for, many wives, had he.
31 Àlè rẹ̀, tó ń gbé ní Ṣekemu, pàápàá bí ọmọkùnrin kan fún un tí ó pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Abimeleki.
And, his concubine who was in Shechem, she also, bare him a son, —and he gave him the name of Abimelech.
32 Gideoni ọmọ Joaṣi kú ní ògbólógbòó ọjọ́ rẹ̀, ó sì pọ̀ ní ọjọ́ orí, wọ́n sì sin ín sí ibojì baba rẹ̀ ní Ofira ti àwọn ará Abieseri.
And Gideon, son of Joash, died in a good old age, —and was buried in the grave of Joash his father, in Ophrah, of the Abiezrites.
33 Láìpẹ́ jọjọ lẹ́yìn ikú Gideoni ni àwọn ará Israẹli ṣe àgbèrè tọ Baali lẹ́yìn, wọ́n fi Baali-Beriti ṣe òrìṣà wọn.
And it came to pass that, as soon as Gideon was dead, the sons of Israel turned back, and went unchastely astray after the Baals, —and appointed them Baal-berith, to be god:
34 Wọn kò sì rántí Olúwa Ọlọ́run wọn, ẹni tí ó gbà wọ́n kúrò lọ́wọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá wọn gbogbo tí ó wà ní gbogbo àyíká wọn.
so the sons of Israel remembered not Yahweh, their own God, —who had rescued them out of the hand of all their enemies, on every side;
35 Wọ́n kùnà láti fi inú rere hàn sí ìdílé Jerubbaali (èyí ni Gideoni) fún gbogbo oore tí ó ṣe fún wọn.
neither dealt they in lovingkindness with the house of Jerubbaal [namely] Gideon, —according to all the goodness wherewith he had dealt with Israel.
