Bisisu 6
1 Isala: ili dunu ilia da Hina Godema bu wadela: le hamoi. Amaiba: le, E da Midia: ne dunu ilia Isala: ili dunu ode fesuale amoga wadela: lesima: ne logo doasi dagoi.
Then the sons of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, who delivered them into the hand of Midian for seven years.
2 Midia: ne fi dunu ilia gasa da Isala: ili fi ilia gasa baligi. Amaiba: le, Isala: ili fi dunu da magufu gelabo amola eno wamoaligisu sogebi agolo ganodini amoga wamoaligisu.
And they were greatly oppressed by them. And they made for themselves hollows and caves in the mountains, and very fortified places for defense.
3 Eso huluane, Isala: ili fi dunu da hawa: sagaloba, Midia: ne fi dunu, A:malege fi dunu amola eno hafoga: i sogega fi dunu da gilisili ilima doagala: le gegesu.
And when Israel had planted, Midian and Amalek, and the rest of the eastern nations ascended,
4 Ilia da hou agoane hamosu. Ilia da Isala: ili soge amoga fisisu. Amalalu, ilia da Isala: ili dunu ilia sagai amo fana asili, gugaga asili, Ga: isa moilaiga doaga: su. Ilia da Isala: ili dunu ilia sibi, bulamagau amola dougi wamolalusu. Amaiba: le, Isala: ili dunu da liligi hamedene esalusu.
and pitching their tents among them, they laid waste to all that was planted, as far as the entrance to Gaza. And they left behind nothing at all to sustain life in Israel, neither sheep, nor oxen, nor donkeys.
5 Midia: ne dunu bagohame ilia idi da danuba: wa: i defele ba: i, ilia da Isala: ili soge amoga ilia ohe fi oule misini, ilia abula diasu gagusu. Ilia amola ilia ga: mele da idimu hamedeiwane ba: i. Ilia da misini, soge huluane wadela: lesisu.
For they and all their flocks arrived with their tents, and they filled all places like locusts, an innumerable multitude of men and camels, devastating whatever they touched.
6 Isala: ili dunu da gasa hameba: le, ilia logo hedofamusa: gasa bagade ba: i.
And Israel was humbled greatly in the sight of Midian.
7 Amalalu, Isala: ili dunu da se nababeba: le, Hina Godema wele sia: i. Ilia da Gode Ea fidima: ne, Midia: ne dunu ilia logo hedofama: ne wele sia: i.
And he cried out to the Lord, requesting assistance against the Midianites.
8 Hina Gode da ilima balofede dunu asunasi. Balofede dunu e da ilima amane sia: i, “Isala: ili fi dunu ilia Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, ‘Dilia da hemonega Idibidi soge ganodini udigili lobo lala: gi agoai hawa: hamonanu. Be Na da dili fisili masa: ne gadili oule asi.
And he sent to them a man who was a prophet, and he said: “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: ‘I caused you to ascend from Egypt, and I led you away from the house of servitude.
9 Idibidi dunu da dili mae wadela: ma: ne, Na da dili gaga: i. Amola Ga: ina: ne sogega fi dunu da dili mae wadela: ma: ne, Na da dili gaga: i. Dilia da gusuba: i heda: loba, Na da amo dunu sefasisu. Amola Na da ilia soge amo dilima i dagoi.
And I freed you from the hand of the Egyptians and from all of the enemies who were afflicting you. And I cast them out at your arrival, and I delivered their land to you.
10 Na da dilia Hina Godedafa, amo Na da dilima olelei. Amola dilia da A: moulaide dunu, (dilia wali ilia soge ganodini esala) amo ilia ogogosu ‘gode’ liligi ilima mae sia: ne gadoma: ne, Na da sia: i dagoi. Be dilia da Na sia: hame nabi.’”
And I said: I am the Lord your God. You shall not fear the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you live. But you were not willing to listen to my voice.’”
11 Amalalu, Hina Gode Ea a: igele dunu da Ofala moilai bai bagadega misini, “ouge” ifa amo ea ougiha esalu. Amo ifa da Youa: se (A: ibisa fi dunu) amo ea ifa falifai galu. Youa: se egefe Gidione da Midia: ne dunu ilia ba: sa: besa: le, wamowane widi ha: i manu gisi amo afafama: ne, waini hano hamosu diasu amo ganodini widi gisi dabalebe ba: i.
Then an Angel of the Lord arrived, and he sat under an oak tree, which was at Ophrah, and which belonged to Joash, the father of the family of Ezri. And while his son Gideon was threshing and cleaning the grain at the winepress, so that he might flee from Midian,
12 Hina Gode Ea a: igele dunu da ema misini, amane sia: i, “Gasa bagade nimi dunu! Hina Gode da ali esala.”
the Angel of the Lord appeared to him, and he said: “The Lord is with you, most valiant of men.”
13 Gidione da bu adole i, “Na da dima adole ba: mu gala. Hina Gode da nini esala, di da sia: sa. Amaiba: le amo se nabasu da abuliba: le ninima doaga: bela: ? Ninia ada ilia da Hina Gode Ea gasa bagade hou amo ninima olelei. E da Idibidi sogega nini fisili masa: ne gadili asunasi. Be wali Hina Gode da Midia: ne dunu nini wadela: lesima: ne, fisi dagoi.”
And Gideon said to him: “I beg you, my lord, if the Lord is with us, why have these things happened to us? Where are his miracles, which our fathers described when they said, ‘The Lord led us away from Egypt.’ But now the Lord has forsaken us, and he has delivered us into the hand of Midian.”
14 Amalalu, Hina Gode da Gidione ea hamoma: ne, ema amane olelei, “Dina: gasaga masa! Midia: ne dunu ilia Isala: ili fi mae wadela: ma: ne, di gaga: ma! Na Nisu fawane, da di asunasisa.”
And the Lord looked down upon him, and he said: “Go forth with this, your strength, and you shall free Israel from the hand of Midian. Know that I have sent you.”
15 Gidione da bu adole i, “Na da habodane Isala: ili fi gaga: ma: bela: ? Na sosogo fi da Mana: se fi amo ganodini gogaya: i gala. Amola na da na sosogo fi amo ganodini bodogidafa.”
And responding, he said: “I beg you, my lord, with what shall I free Israel? Behold, my family is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in the house of my father.”
16 Hina Gode da ema bu adole i, “Na da di fidimuba: le, di da amo hamomusa: dawa: mu. Di da Midia: ne dunu huluane hasalili dagomu.”
And the Lord said to him: “I will be with you. And so, you shall cut down Midian as if one man.”
17 Gidione ea bu adole i, “Di da nama nodosa galea, na da Di dafawane Hina Gode esala, amo dawa: ma: ne, dawa: digisu hou amo nama olelema.
And he said: “If I have found grace before you, give me a sign that it is you who is speaking to me.
18 Dafawane! Di da na mae yolesili ouleloma. Na da Dima gobele salasu ha: i manu gaguli misunu,” Gidione amane sia: i. Hina Gode Ea amane sia: i, “Na da di ouesalea, amogainini di bu misunu.”
And may you not withdraw from here, until I return to you, carrying a sacrifice and offering it to you.” And he responded, “I will wait for your return.”
19 Amaiba: le, Gidione da hi diasua golili sa: ili, goudi mano sefena afae fane, falaua ea dioi defei da10gilougala: me amo lale, yisidi mae legele, agi ga: gi hamoi. E da goudi hu dabaga salawane, gugu gasa: le, ofodo ganodini salawane, gaguli, Hina Gode a: igele dunu “ouge” ifa baiya lelebe amogili iasi.
And so Gideon entered, and he boiled a goat, and he made unleavened bread from a measure of flour. And setting the flesh in a basket, and putting the broth of the flesh in a pot, he took it all under the oak tree, and he offered it to him.
20 A: igele dunu da Gidionema amane sia: i, “Hu amola agi ga: gi lale, igi goe da: iya ligisili, amo da: iya gugu soga: sima.” Gidione da amo defele hamoi dagoi.
And the Angel of the Lord said to him, “Take the flesh and the unleavened bread, and place them on that rock, and pour out the broth upon it.” And when he had done so,
21 Amalalu, Hina Gode Ea a: igele dunu da ea lobo ligiagale, galiamo ea lobo ganodini gagui, amo ea bidiga, e da hu amola agi ga: gi digilisi. Amalalu, lalu da igi da: iya wiligadole, hu amola agi ga: gi nene dagoi. Amalalu, a:igele dunu da asi, hame ba: i.
the Angel of the Lord extended the end of a staff, which he was holding in his hand, and he touched the flesh and the unleavened loaves. And a fire ascended from the rock, and it consumed the flesh and the unleavened loaves. Then the Angel of the Lord vanished from his sight.
22 Amaiba: le, Gidione hamugini ba: loba, amo da Hina Gode ea a: igele dunu dawa: i galu. Amola e da bagadewane fofogadigili, beda: ne amane sia: i, “Hina Gode Bagadedafa! Na da Dia a: igele dunu ea odagi amola na odagi migadenei ba: i.”
And Gideon, realizing that it had been the Angel of the Lord, said: “Alas, my Lord God! For I have seen the Angel of the Lord face to face.”
23 Hina Gode da ema amane sia: i, “Asaboma! Mae beda: ma! Di da hame bogomu.”
And the Lord said to him: “Peace be with you. Do not be afraid; you shall not die.”
24 Gidione da Godema gobele salasu fafai (oloda) amogawi gagui. Amoga, e da amo dio asuli, “Hina Gode da Olofosudafa.” Amo fafai da wali Ofala moilai bai bagadega sagasi dana. (Ofala da A: ibisa fi dunu ilia moilai eno galu).
Therefore, Gideon built an altar to the Lord there, and he called it, the Peace of the Lord, even to the present day. And while he was still at Ophrah, which is of the family of Ezri,
25 Amo gasia, Hina Gode da Gidionema amane sia: i, “Dia ada ea bulamagau gawali amola eno bulamagau gawali ode fesuale gala lela, amo lama. Dia ada ea gobele salasu fafai Ba: ilema sia: ne gadomusa: gagui, amo mugululi salima. Amola ogogosu ‘gode’ ifaga hahamoi uda Asila, amola Ba: ile, ela dafulili lelebe go abasalima.
that night, the Lord said to him: “Take a bull of your father’s, and another bull of seven years, and you shall destroy the altar of Baal, which is your father’s. And you shall cut down the sacred grove which is around the altar.
26 Dia Hina Godema gobele salasu fafai noga: idafa, goe bi da: iya gaguma. Amalu bulamagau gawali ageyadu e lale, ea da: i hodo huluane gobele salima. Amo gobele salimusa: di Asila ifa abasali lalu amoga lale didili gobele salima.”
And you shall build an altar to the Lord your God, at the summit of this rock, on which you placed the sacrifice before. And you shall take the second bull, and you shall offer a holocaust upon a pile of the wood, which you shall cut down from the grove.”
27 Amaiba: le, Gidione ea hawa: hamosu dunu mogili, nabuane agoane lale, amola e da Hina Gode Ea ema adoi amo hamoi. E da ea sosogo fi amola ea moilai fi ilima beda: iba: le, yoga hamomu hamedei ba: i. Amaiba: le, e da gasia fawane hamoi.
Therefore, Gideon, taking ten men from his servants, did just as the Lord had instructed him. But fearing his father’s household, and the men of that city, he was not willing to do it by day. Instead, he completed everything by night.
28 Moilai fi dunu da hahabedafa wa: legadole, ilia da gobele salasu fafai Ba: ilema sia: ne gadomusa: gagui, amola Asila ea ifa abasali dagoi ba: i. Amola bulamagau ageyadu amo da gobele salasu fafai (Gidione ea gagui liligi) amo da: iya gobele sali dagoi, ilia ba: i.
And when the men of that town had risen up in the morning, they saw the altar of Baal destroyed, and the sacred grove cut down, and the second bull set upon the altar, which then had been built.
29 Amalalu, ilia amane sia: i, “Nowa dunu da amo hou hamobela: ? Ilia amane lalabilaloba, Youa: se ea mano Gidione ea hamoi, ilia ba: i.
And they said one to another, “Who has done this?” And when they inquired everywhere as to the author of the deed, it was said, “Gideon, the son of Joash, did all these things.”
30 Amalalu, ilia da Youa: sema amane sia: i, “Diagofe ninia fane legemusa: guiguda: oule misa. E da Ba: ile gobele salasu fafai amo mugululi sali amola Asila hou dawa: ma: ne liligi amoga dafulili dialu amo abasali.”
And they said to Joash: “Bring forward your son here, so that he may die. For he has destroyed the altar of Baal, and he has cut down the sacred grove.”
31 Be Youa: se da dunu huluane ilia da ema fofada: nanu, ilima amane sia: i, “Dilia da Ba: ile amoma gasala: ? Dilia amola e gaga: sala: ? Nowa da ema gale lela, amo da hahabe fane legei dagoi ba: mu. Ba: ile da Godedafa galea, defea, e da hisu hina: gaga: mu. Amo gobele salasu fafai mugululi sali da ea: liligi fawane, dilia: hame.”
But he responded to them: “Could you be the avengers of Baal, so that you fight on his behalf? Whoever is his adversary, let him die before the light arrives tomorrow; if he is a god, let him vindicate himself against him who has overturned his altar.”
32 Amalalu, amohaga amola fa: no ilia da Gidione ea dio da Yeluba: ile, ilia da amane sia: dasu. Bai Youa: se da amane sia: i, “Ba: ile ea da hisu hina: gaga: mu da defea. Gobele salasu fafai mugululi sali da ea: liligi fawane.”
From that day, Gideon was called Jerubbaal, because Joash had said, “Let Baal avenge himself against him who has overturned his altar.”
33 Amalalu, Midia: naide fi dunu, A:malege fi dunu amola hafoga: i sogega fi dunu huluane gilisili mogodigili asili, Yodane hano amo degele, Yeseliele fago amogai hawa: i fisu.
And so, all of Midian, and Amalek, and the eastern peoples were gathered together. And crossing the Jordan, they encamped in the valley of Jezreel.
34 Hina Gode Ea A: silibu da Gidione amoma noga: le seselalu, A:ibisa sosogo fi dunu ilia ema fa: no bobogema: ne, Gidione da dalabede fulaboi.
But the Spirit of the Lord entered Gideon, who, sounding the trumpet, summoned the house of Abiezer so that he might follow him.
35 E da sia: adola ahoasu dunu ilia Mana: se fi dunu da ema fa: no bobogema: ne, adole lama: ne asunasi. E da sia: adola ahoasu dunu A: sie, Sebiulane amola Na: fadalai amo fi dunu ilima adoma: ne asunasi. Amalu, ilia misini, ema madelai.
And he sent messengers into all of Manasseh, who also followed him, and other messengers into Asher, and Zebulun, and Naphtali, who went to meet him.
36 Amalalu, Gidione da Godema amane sia: i, “Dia da amane sia: ba: , Isala: ili fi gaga: ma: ne, Dia da nama fidisu imunu sia: i.
And Gideon said to God: “If you will save Israel by my hand, just as you have said:
37 Defea! Na da sibi hinabo houga: i amo houga: i widi dabasu osobo da: iya amogai ligisimu. Be hahabe sibi hinabo houga: i da: iya oubi baeaga nanegai galea, be osobo da: iya da oubi baea hame ba: lalu, Isala: ili dunu fi amo na gaga: ma: ne, Dia da dafawane fidimusa: ilegei, amo na da dawa: mu.”
I will set this wool fleece on the threshing floor. If there will be dew only on the fleece, and all the ground is dry, I will know that by my hand, as you have said, you will free Israel.”
38 Goe da didili agoane hamoi ba: i. Golale hahabedafa Gidione da wa: legadole, e da ofodo lale ligisili, sibi hinabo houga: i amo lale, oubi baea sibi hinaboga nanegai dialu amo ofodo gelaba ganodini dugini sali. Ofodo da amo hanoga nabaidafa ba: i.
And so it was done. And rising in the night, wringing out the fleece, he filled a vessel with the dew.
39 Amalalu, Gidione da Hina Godema amane sia: i, “Hina Gode! Dia nama mae ougima. Na da adoba: su afadafa eno hamomu da defeala: ? Be ha afaega musa: agoane hamosea, sibi hinabo houga: i da hafoga: i amola osobo da nanegai agoane ba: mu da defea.”
And again he said to God: “Let not your fury be enkindled against me, if I test once more, seeking a sign in the fleece. I pray that only the fleece may be dry, and all the ground may be wet with dew.”
40 Amo gasia Gode da amo liligi didiliwane hamoi. Golale hahabe, sibi hinabo houga: i da hafoga: i ba: i, be osobo da oubi baeaga nanegai dialebe ba: i.
And that night, God did as he had requested. And it was dry only on the fleece, and there was dew on all the ground.
