Judges 8
1 And the men of Ephraim said to him, “What is this, that you wanted to do, so that you would not call us when you went to fight against Midian?” And they rebuked him strongly, and came close to using violence.
Amalalu, Ifala: ime fi dunu da Gidionema amane sia: i, “Di da Midia: ne fi ilima gegemusa: ahoanoba, abuliba: le nini misa: ne hame wele sia: bela: ? Abuliba: le nini se nabima: ne agoane hamobela: ?” Ilia da da: i dione egai.
2 And he responded to them: “But what could I have done that would be so great as what you have done? Is not one bunch of grapes of Ephraim better than the vintages of Abiezer?
Be Gidione da ilima bu adole i, “Mae dawa: ma! Dilia hamoi hou da na hamoi bagade baligisa. Dilia fidisu da na fi dunu huluane ilia fidisu amo bagade baligisa.
3 The Lord has delivered into your hands the leaders of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb. What could I have done that would be so great as what you have done?” And when he had said this, their spirit, which was swelling up against him, was quieted.
Dilia Gode Ea gasa lai dagoiba: le, Midia: ne ouligisu dunu aduna amo Oulebe amola Siebe fane legei dagoi. Na da dilia gasa bagade hou defele hamomu hamedei agoane ba: i.” E da amo sia: beba: le, Ifala: ime dunu ilia ougi bu gumi ba: i.
4 And when Gideon had arrived at the Jordan, he crossed over it with the three hundred men who were with him. And they were so weary that they were unable to pursue those who were fleeing.
Gidione amola ea dadi gagui (ilia idi da 300) da Yodane Hano amoga doaga: le degei dagoi. Ilia da bagade helei ba: i, be mae fisili ilia ha lai dunu sefasilalu.
5 And he said to the men of Succoth, “I beg you, give bread to the people who are with me, for they are greatly weakened, so that we may be able to pursue Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian.”
Ilia da Sagode moilaiga doaga: loba, Gidione da Sagode dunu ilima amane sia: i, “Ha: i manu ninima ima. Na dunu da bagade helebe. Na da Midia: ne fi hina bagade dunu aduna amo Siba amola Sa: lamana sefasilala.”
6 The leaders of Succoth answered, “Perhaps the palms of the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna are in your hand, and for this reason, you request that we give bread to your army.”
Be Sagode moilai ouligisu dunu da Gidionema bu adole i, “Ninia abuliba: le dia dadi gagui dunuma ha: i manu ima: bela: ? Di da wali Siba amola Sa: lamana hame gagui.”
7 And he said to them, “So then, when the Lord will have delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into my hands, I will thresh your flesh with the thorns and briers of the desert.”
Amaiba: le, Gidione da amane sia: i, “Defea! Hina Gode da na fidimuba: le, na da Siba amola Sa: lamana gagumu. Amasea, na da dili aya: gaga: nomei hafoga: i sogega lai amoga famu.”
8 And going up from there, he arrived at Penuel. And he spoke to the men of that place similarly. And they also answered him, just as the men of Succoth had answered.
Gidione da bu asili, Beniuele moilaiga doaga: i. E da Sagode moilai dunu amoga edegei defele Beniuele dunuma adole ba: i. Be Beniuele dunu da Sagode dunu ilia hou defele, ha: i manu hame imunu sia: i.
9 And so he said to them also, “When I will have returned as a victor in peace, I will destroy this tower.”
Amaiba: le, Gidione da ilima amane sia: i, “Defea! Na da na ha lai ili hasalasili, hahawane bu misunu. Amalalu, na da dilia diasu gado gagagula heda: i amo mugulumu.”
10 Now Zebah and Zalmunna were resting with their entire army. For fifteen thousand men were left out of all the troops of the eastern people. And one hundred twenty thousand warriors that drew the sword had been cut down.
Siba amola Sa: lamana elea dadi gagui dunu huluane da Gago moilai bai bagadega gilisibi ba: i. Amo esoga, ilia hafoga: i soge dadi gagui dunu idi da 15,000 fawane ba: i. Eno dadi gagui dunu amo 120,000 da medole legei dagoi ba: i.
11 And Gideon ascended by the way of those who were dwelling in tents, to the eastern part of Nobah and Jogbehah. And he struck the camp of the enemies, who were confident and were suspecting nothing adverse.
Gidione da logo amo hafoga: i soge bega: Nouba moilai amola Yogebiha moilaiga eso mabadi la: ididili dialu, amo logoga asi. E da hedolowane Siba amola Sa: lamana ilia dadi gagui wa: i ilima doagala: le, ilia da fofogadigi.
12 And Zebah and Zalmunna fled. And Gideon pursued and overtook them, sending their entire army into confusion.
Midia: ne hina bagade dunu aduna amo Siba amola Sa: lamana da hobea: i. Be Gidione da elama doagala: le bobogele, ela gagulaligi. Amalalu, ela dadi gagui dunu huluane da beda: iba: le, hobea: i
13 And returning from the war before sunrise,
Gidione da hasaliba: le, bu misini, Helese fago ahoasu amoga asili,
14 he took a boy from among the men of Succoth. And he asked him the names of the leaders and elders of Succoth. And he described seventy-seven men.
e da Sagode moilai goi amo gaguli, ema ea fi dunu ilia hou adole ba: i. Amo goi da Sagode moilai ouligisu dunu bagade 77amo ilia dio dedei.
15 And he went to Succoth, and he said to them: “Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, over whom you rebuked me, saying: ‘Perhaps the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna are in your hands, and for this reason, you request that we give bread to men who are languishing and weakened.’”
Amalalu, Gidione da Sagode dunu ilima asili, amane sia: i, “Siba amola Sa: lamana da goea. Na da amo dunu hame gaguiba: le, dilia da na dadi gagui dunu hele nababe, ilima ha: i manu imunu higa: i.”
16 Therefore, he took the elders of the city, and, using the thorns and briers of the desert, he threshed them with these, and he cut the men of Succoth to pieces.
Amalalu e da hafoga: i soge aya: gaga: nomei liligi lale, amoga Sagode ouligisu dunu se ima: ne fasu.
17 He also overturned the tower of Penuel, and he killed the men of the city.
Amola e da diasu gagagula gado heda: i, Beniuele moilaiga mugululi amola Beniuele dunu medole legei dagoi.
18 And he said to Zebah and Zalmunna, “What kind of men were those whom you killed at Tabor?” They responded, “They were like you, and one of them was like the son of a king.”
Amalalu, Gidione da Siba amola Sa: lamana elama amane adole ba: i, “Alia da Da: ibo moilaiga dunu medole legei. Alia da nowa dunu medole legebela: ?” Ela bu adole i, “Ilia da di agoane ba: i. Huluane da hina bagade ea mano defele agoane ba: i.”
19 He answered them: “They were my brothers, the sons of my mother. As the Lord lives, if you had preserved them, I would not kill you.”
Gidione da amane sia: i, “Ilia da nolalalia galu, na: medafa ea mano. Na da dafawane sia: sa. Alia da amo hame medole legei ganiaba, na da ali amola hame medole legela: loba.”
20 And he said to Jether, his firstborn son, “Rise up, and put them to death.” But he did not draw his sword. For he was afraid, being still a boy.
Amalalu, e da ea magobo mano ea dio amo Yeda, amoma amane sia: i, “Defea! Dia ela medole legema!” Be amo goi da ea gegesu gobihei bagade hame duga: le gagui. E da hame asigilaiba: le, beda: i.
21 And Zebah and Zalmunna said: “You should rise up and rush against us. For the strength of a man is in accord with his age.” Gideon rose up, and he killed Zebah and Zalmunna. And he took the ornaments and studs, with which the necks of the royal camels are usually adorned.
Amalalu, Siba amola Sa: lamana da Gidionema amane sia: i, “Defea! Disu ani medole legema. Dunudafa da dunudafa ea hawa: hamosu hamomu da defea.” Amaiba: le, Gidione da Siba amola Sa: lamana medole legei dagoi. E da liligi noga: i amo ela ga: mele ilia galogoa amoga gisa: gisi dialu amo lai dagoi.
22 And all the men of Israel said to Gideon: “You should rule over us, and your son, and your son’s son. For you freed us from the hand of Midian.”
Amalalu, Isala: ili dunu huluane da Gidionema amane sia: i, “Di amola hobea digaga fi da ninima ouligisuwane esalumu da defea. Di da nini amo Midia: ne dunu iliga gaga: i dagoi.”
23 And he said to them: “I will not rule over you. Neither shall my son rule over you. Instead, the Lord shall rule over you.”
Be Gidione da bu adole i, “Na da dilima ouligisuwane hame esalumu. Amola nagofe da dilima ouligisuwane hame esalumu. Be Hina Gode Hi fawane da dilima Hina ba: mu.”
24 And he said to them: “I petition one request from you. Give me the earrings from your spoils.” For the Ishmaelites were accustomed to wear gold earrings.
E da eno amane sia: i “Na da dilima afae fawane edegesa. Dilia gedu bagedigi Midia: ne dunu ilima lai, amo huluane nama ima.” (Midia: ne dunu da hafoga: i soge dunu fi huluane defele gouli gedu bagedigili salasu.)
25 They responded, “We are very willing to give them.” And spreading a cloak on the ground, they cast upon it the earrings from the spoils.
Dunu huluane da bu adole i, “Ninia da hahawane amo liligi dima imunuyo.” Ilia da abula ligisili, dunu huluane da amo da: iya geabagedigisu ilia lai ligisi.
26 And the weight of the earrings that he requested was one thousand seven hundred shekels of gold, aside from the ornaments, and necklaces, and purple garments, which the kings of Midian were accustomed to use, and aside from the gold chains on the camels.
Gidione da gouli gedu bagedigi lai dagoi. Ilia dioi defei da 210 gilogala: me gadenene doaga: i. Ilia da eno liligi Gidionema i, amo bagedigi, gisa: gini sali amola ogaya: i abula musa: Midia: ne hina bagade dunu da gasi salasu amola gehea: la ilia da ga: mele ea galogoa ga: si.
27 And Gideon made an ephod from these, and he kept it in his city, Ophrah. And all of Israel committed fornication with it, and it became a ruin to Gideon and to all his house.
Gidione da amo gouli lale, ogogosu ‘gode’ agoaila loboga hamone, ea moilaidafa Ofala amo ganodini bugisi. Isala: ili dunu huluane iliawa da Gode fisili, Ofala moilai bai bagadega amo loboga hamoi liligima sia: ne gadomusa: asi. Amo liligi da Gidione amola ea sosogo fi ilima sani agoane ba: i.
28 But Midian was humbled before the sons of Israel. Neither were they able any longer to lift up their necks. But the land rested for forty years, while Gideon presided.
Amaiba: le, Isala: ili dunu da Midia: ne dunu ili hasalasi amola fa: no Midia: ne dunu da gasa hame ba: i. Amalalu, ode 40 eno amoga, Isala: ili dunu da olofosu ba: i. Amo ode 40 gidigili, Gidione da bogoi dagoi.
29 And so Jerubbaal, the son of Joash, went and lived in his own house.
Gidione da hina: moilaidafa amoga buhagili esalu.
30 And he had seventy sons, who went forth from his own thigh. For he had many wives.
E da uda bagohame lale, dunu mano 70agoane lalelegei.
31 But his concubine, whom he had in Shechem, bore him a son named Abimelech.
E da uda eno lai. Amo da gidisedagi uda e da Siegeme moilaiga lai. Amo uda da dunu mano lalelegei. Gidione da amo manoma Abimelege dio asuli.
32 And Gideon, the son of Joash, died in a good old age, and he was buried in the sepulcher of his father, at Ophrah, of the family of Ezri.
Gidione (Youa: se egefe) da ode bagohame gidigili bogoi. Ilia da ea da: i hodo amo ea eda Youa: se ea bogoi uli dogosu Ofala moilai bai bagade (Abiese fi ilia moilai) amoga dialu, amo ganodini sali.
33 But after Gideon died, the sons of Israel turned away, and they committed fornication with the Baals. And they struck a covenant with Baal, so that he would be their god.
Gidione da bogoloba, Isala: ili dunu ilia da bu Gode fisili, Ba: ile ema nodone sia: ne gadoi. Ilia da ema ‘Ba: ile da Gousa: su Hamoi’ dio asuli, amola e da ilia ‘gode’dafa ilia da sia: su.
34 And they did not remember the Lord their God, who rescued them from the hands of all their enemies on all sides.
Ilia Hina Godedafa da ilima sisiga: i ha lai dunu ilima gaga: i dagoi. Be amo mae dawa: le, ilia da Hina Godema hawa: hamosu yolesi dagoi.
35 Neither did they show mercy to the house of Jerubbaal Gideon, in accord with all the good that he had done for Israel.
Amola Gidione da Isala: ili dunu fidima: ne, hawa: hamosu ida: iwane hamoi. Be ilia da Gidione ea sosogo fi ilima hame nodoi.
