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 to him, Why hast thou done this to us, that thou didst call us not, when thou wentest to fight with the Midianites? And they did contend 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 to them, What have I done now in comparison of you? Is not the gleaning of the grapes 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.
God hath delivered into your hands the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb: and what was I able to do in comparison of you? Then, when he had said that, their anger toward him abated.
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 to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them.
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.”
And he said to the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves of bread to the people that follow me; for they are faint, and I am pursuing 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 hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thy hand, that we should give bread to thy army?
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 the LORD hath delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.
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.
And he went up from there to Penuel, and spoke to them likewise: and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered him.
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.”
And he spoke also to the men of Penuel, saying, When I come again in peace, 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 men, all that were left of all the hosts of the children of the east: for there fell an hundred and twenty thousand men that drew 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.
And Gideon went up by the way of them that dwelt in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and smote the host: for the host was 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, he pursued them, and took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and overcame all the host.
13 Gideoni ọmọ Joaṣi gba ọ̀nà ìgòkè Heresi padà sẹ́yìn láti ojú ogun.
And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle before the sun had risen,
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: and he described for him the princes of Succoth, and its elders, even seventy and 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?’”
And he came to the men of Succoth, and said, Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, with whom ye upbraided me, saying, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thy hand, that we should give bread to thy men that are weary?
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.
And he took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness and briers, and with them he taught the men of Succoth.
17 Ó wó ilé ìṣọ́ Penieli, ó sì pa àwọn ọkùnrin ìlú náà.
And he beat down the tower of Penuel, 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 to Zebah and Zalmunna, What manner of men were they whom ye slew at Tabor? And they answered, As thou art, so were they; each one resembled the children 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, They were my brethren, even the sons of my mother: as the LORD liveth, if ye had saved them alive, I would not slay 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.
And he said to Jether his firstborn, Arise, and 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 Zebah and Zalmunna said, Rise thou, and fall upon us: for as the man is, so is his strength. And Gideon arose, and slew Zebah and Zalmunna, and took away the ornaments that were on their camels’ necks.
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 the men of Israel said to Gideon, Rule thou over us, both thou, and thy son, and thy son’s son also: for thou hast delivered us from the hand 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 to them, I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you: the LORD 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 to them, I would desire a request of you, that you would give me every man the earrings of his spoil. (For they had golden earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.)
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 answered, We will willingly give them. And they spread a garment, and cast into it every man the earrings 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 the weight of the golden earrings that he requested was a thousand and seven hundred shekels of gold; besides ornaments, and collars, and purple raiment that was on the kings of Midian, and besides the chains that were about their camels’ necks.
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 of it an ephod, and put it in his city, even in Ophrah: and all Israel went there playing the harlot with it: which thing became a snare to Gideon, and to his house.
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 children of Israel, so that they raised their heads no more. And the country was in quietness forty years in the days of Gideon.
29 Jerubbaali ọmọ Joaṣi padà lọ láti máa gbé ní ìlú rẹ̀.
And Jerubbaal the 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 of his body begotten: for he had many wives.
31 Àlè rẹ̀, tó ń gbé ní Ṣekemu, pàápàá bí ọmọkùnrin kan fún un tí ó pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Abimeleki.
And his concubine that was in Shechem, she also bore him a son, whose name he called 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 the son of Joash died in a good old age, and was buried in the sepulchre 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, as soon as Gideon was dead, that the children of Israel turned again, and went playing the harlot with Baalim, and made Baalberith their 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.
And the children of Israel remembered not the LORD their God, who had delivered them from the hands 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 showed they kindness to the house of Jerubbaal, namely, Gideon, according to all the goodness which he had shown to Israel.
