Mwet Nununku 7
1 Sie len ah Gideon ac mwet lal nukewa toang tukakek ac tulokinya lohm nuknuk selos sisken Unon in Kof Harod. Ac mwet Midian elos muta infahlfal uh nu epang in Eol Moreh.
Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people who were with him, rose up early, and camped beside the spring of Harod. And the camp of Midian was on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley.
2 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Gideon, “Mwet ma wi kom inge arulana pusla nu ke kutangla se nga ac sang nu selos fin mwet Midian inge. Sahp ac tuh oru elos nunku mu elos sifacna pa oru kutangla se inge, ac elos tiana akilenyu kac.
The LORD said to Gideon, "The people who are with you are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, 'My own hand has saved me.'
3 Fahk nu sin mwet an, ‘Fin oasr mwet sangeng, in folokla nu yen selos an, ac kut ac mutana in acn se inge ke Fineol Gilead.’” Na tausin longoul luo selos folokla, ac tausin singoul na muta.
Now therefore proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, 'Whoever is fearful and trembling, let him return and depart from Mount Gilead.' There returned of the people twenty-two thousand; but ten thousand remained.
4 Na LEUM GOD El sifil fahk nu sel Gideon, “Srakna pusla mwet an. Pwanulosla nu infacl ah, ac nga ac fah sraclik mwet an we. Nga fin fahk mu mwet se ac fal in wi, na el wi. Ac nga fin mu mwet se tia fal in wi, na el tia wi.”
The LORD said to Gideon, "The people are yet too many; bring them down to the water, and I will try them for you there: and it shall be, that of whom I tell you, This shall go with you, the same shall go with you; and of whoever I tell you, This shall not go with you, the same shall not go.
5 Na Gideon el usya mwet uh nu infacl ah. Ac LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel, “Srela mwet nukewa ma nim kof ke lohulos oana kosro ngalngul uh liki mwet nukewa su sikukmutunte ke elos nim kof an.”
So he brought down the people to the water. And the LORD said to Gideon, "Everyone who laps of the water with his tongue, as a dog laps, you shall put to one side; and everyone who gets down on his knees to drink with hand to mouth shall be on the other side."
6 Oasr mwet tolfoko na su yucukak kof inpaolos ac nim ke lohulos, a mwet saya nukewa elos sikukmutunte ac nim kof.
The number of those who lapped with their tongues was three hundred men, but all the rest of the people got down on their knees to drink water.
7 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Gideon, “Nga ac fah molikomla ac sot kutangla nu sum fin mwet Midian inge ke mwet tolfoko na ma nim kof ke lohulos inge. Fahkang mwet nukewa saya an in som nu yen selos an.”
The LORD said to Gideon, "By the three hundred men who lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into your hand; and let all the people go every man to his home."
8 Na Gideon el supwala mwet Israel nukewa nu yen selos an, sayen mwet tolfoko su el sap in orani mwe mongo ac mwe ukuk nukewa ma oasr. Mwet Midian elos muta ke infahlfal se oan ten ah.
So the people took food in their hand, and their trumpets; and he sent all the men of Israel every man to his tent, but retained the three hundred men. And the camp of Midian was beneath him in the valley.
9 In fong sac LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Gideon, “Tuyak ac mweunelos in nien aktuktuk lalos an. Nga sot kutangla nu sum.
It happened the same night, that the LORD said to him, "Arise, get down into the camp; for I have delivered it into your hand.
10 Tusruk kom fin sangeng in lainulos, kom ac mwet kulansap se lom an Purah tufokla nu nien aktuktuk lalos an.
But if you fear to go down, go with Purah your servant down to the camp:
11 Kom ac fah lohng ma elos srumun an, ac ke kom ac lohng an kom ac fah kui ac pulaik in lainulos.” Na Gideon ac mwet kulansap se lal inge, Purah, eltal oatula nu sisken nien aktuktuk lun mwet lokoalok lalos.
and you shall hear what they say; and afterward will your hands be strengthened to go down into the camp." Then he went down with Purah his servant to the outermost part of the armed men who were in the camp.
12 Mwet Midian, mwet Amalek, ac mwet forfor yen mwesis elos oalik infahlfal uh oana pusiyen locust, ac pusiyen camel natulos pus oana puk weacn uh.
And Midian, Amalek, and all the Kedemites lay along in the valley as numerous as locusts; and their camels were without number, as numerous as the sand which is on the seashore.
13 Ke Gideon el sun acn ma mwet lokoalok inge aktuktuk we, el lohng sramsram lun sie mwet ke el srumun mweme se lal nu sin kawuk se lal. El fahk ouinge, “Nga mweme mu srukwal in bread barley se ipipme nu nien aktuktuk sesr uh twe tukya sie lohm nuknukuh. Na lohm sac ikori ac oankiyuki infohk uh.”
When Gideon had come, look, there was a man telling a dream to his friend; and he said, "Look, I had a dream, and look, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian, and came to the tent, and struck it so that it fell, and turned it upside down, so that the tent collapsed."
14 Na kawuk se lal ah fahk, “Cutlass nutin mwet Israel se pa ingan — Gideon, wen natul Joash! Pa inge kalmen mweme sacn, wangin pac sie kalmac saya! God El sang kutangla nu sel Gideon fin mwet Midian ac mwet mweun wiasr nukewa!”
His friend answered, "This is nothing less than the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel. Into his hand God has delivered Midian, and all the army."
15 Ke Gideon el lohng mweme se lun mwet se inge, ac kalmen mweme sac, el sikukmutunteyak ac alu nu sin LEUM GOD. Na el folokla nu nien aktuktuk lun mwet Israel ac fahk, “Tukakek! LEUM GOD El asot kutangla nu suwos fin mwet mweun lun Midian!”
It was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and its interpretation, that he worshiped, and he returned into the camp of Israel, and said, "Get up, for the LORD has delivered into your hand the army of Midian."
16 El kitalik mwet tolfoko lal inge nu ke u tolu, ac sang nu sin kais sie mwet sie mwe ukuk ac pisin sufa soko ma fulack firir soko oan loac.
He divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put into the hands of all of them trumpets, and empty pitchers, with torches within the pitchers.
17 Ac el fahk nu selos, “Ke pacl se nga ac sun sisken nien aktuktuk lalos, kowos liyeyu ac oru oana ke nga ac oru uh.
He said to them, "Look at me, and do likewise. And look, when I come to the outermost part of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so you shall do.
18 Ke pacl se nga ac u luk uh ac ukya mwe ukuk uh, na kowos ukya mwe ukuk an ac raunela nien aktuktuk lalos an, ac sasa ac fahk, ‘Kut oru ma inge ke Inen LEUM GOD ac ke inel Gideon!’”
When I blow the trumpet, I and all who are with me, then you blow the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, "For the LORD and for Gideon."
19 Ac Gideon ac mwet siofok lal elos tuku nu nien aktuktuk uh meet kutu liki infulwen fong, tukunna mwet soan we ah ayaol. Na elos ukya mwe ukuk ac fukul pisin sufa elos us uh.
So Gideon and the hundred men who were with him came to the outermost part of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch, when they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and broke in pieces the pitchers that were in their hands.
20 Ac u luo saya ah elos oru oapana. Elos sruok fulack firir lalos uh in lac paolos lasa, ac mwe ukuk uh ke lac po layot, ac sasa. Elos wowoyak fahk, “Cutlass uh ma nu sin LEUM GOD ac nu sel Gideon!”
The three companies blew the trumpets, and broke the pitchers, and held the torches in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands with which to blow; and they called out, "The sword of the LORD and of Gideon.'"
21 Mwet nukewa tu raunela nien aktuktuk lun mwet lokoalok, ac mwet lokoalok elos wowo ac kaing.
They each stood in his place every man around the camp; and all the army ran; and they shouted, and put them to flight.
22 Ke mwet lal Gideon inge tuh uk mwe ukuk tolfoko natulos, LEUM GOD El oru tuh mwet lokoalok inge in sifacna forani aacnwuki ke cutlass natulos. Elos kaing ke inkanek nu Zarethan nwe ke elos sun acn Beth Shittah, ke siti lun Abel Meholah su apkuran nu Tabbath.
They blew the three hundred trumpets, and the LORD set every man's sword against each other throughout the camp; and the army fled as far as Beth Shittah toward Zererah, as far as the border of Abel Meholah, by Tabbath.
23 Na suliyukme mwet in sruf lal Naphtali, ac sruf lal Asher, ac sruf luo lun Manasseh kewa, ac elos ukwe mwet Midian inge.
The men of Israel were gathered together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after Midian.
24 Ac Gideon el supwala mwet utuk kas in som sasla fineol in facl Ephraim ac fahk, “Tufoki ac mweuni mwet Midian. Kowos kosrala acn ke Infacl Jordan nwe sun acn Bethbarah, mwet Midian inge in tia tupalla.” Na mwet Ephraim elos toeni ac kosrala Infacl Jordan nwe sun acn Bethbarah.
Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill country of Ephraim, saying, "Come down against Midian, and capture the waters, as far as Beth Barah, even the Jordan." So all the men of Ephraim were gathered together, and seized the waters as far as Beth Barah, even the Jordan.
25 Mwet Israel elos sruokya mwet kol luo lun mwet Midian, Oreb ac Zeeb. Elos unilya Oreb sisken eot lulap pangpang Eot lal Oreb. Ac elos unilya Zeeb ke Nien Fut Wain lal Zeeb. Na elos sifilpa ukwe mwet Midian. Ac elos use sifal Oreb ac sifal Zeeb nu yen Gideon el muta we kutulap in Infacl Jordan, ac sang nu sel.
They took the two princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb; and they killed Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and Zeeb they killed at the winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian. Then they brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon beyond the Jordan.
