Judges 7
1 Ní òwúrọ̀ kùtùkùtù Jerubbaali (èyí ni Gideoni) pẹ̀lú gbogbo àwọn ọmọ-ogun tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ kó ogun jọ lẹ́bàá a orísun Harodi. Àwọn ogun Midiani sì wà ní apá àríwá tí wọ́n ní àfonífojì tí ó wà ní ẹ̀bá òkè More.
Early in the morning Jerubbaal (that is, Gideon) and all the men with him camped beside the spring of Harod. And the camp of Midian was north of them in the valley near the hill of Moreh.
2 Olúwa wí fún Gideoni pé, “Àwọn ọmọ-ogun tí o kójọ sọ́dọ̀ ti pọ̀jù fún mi láti fi àwọn ogun Midiani lé wọn lọ́wọ́, kí Israẹli má ba à gbé ara rẹ̀ ga sí mi wí pé agbára òun ni ó gbà á là,
Then the LORD said to Gideon, “You have too many people for Me to deliver Midian into their hands, lest Israel glorify themselves over Me, saying, ‘My own hand has saved me.’
3 sì kéde sí àwọn ènìyàn nísinsin yìí pé, ‘Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá ń gbọ̀n, tí ó sì ń bẹ̀rù lè padà sẹ́yìn, kí ó sì kúrò lórí òkè Gileadi.’” Báyìí ni Gideoni ṣe ya àwọn ènìyàn náà. Ẹgbẹ̀rún méjìlélógún ọkùnrin sì padà sẹ́yìn àwọn ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́wàá sì dúró.
Now, therefore, proclaim in the hearing of the people: ‘Whoever is fearful and trembling may turn back and leave Mount Gilead.’” So twenty-two thousand of them turned back, but ten thousand remained.
4 Olúwa sì tún sọ fún Gideoni pé, “Àwọn ènìyàn yìí sì tún pọ̀jù. Kó wọn lọ sí ibi tí omi wà, èmi yóò sì yọ̀rọ̀ wọn níbẹ̀ fún ọ. Bí mo bá wí pé eléyìí yóò bá ọ lọ yóò lọ, ṣùgbọ́n tí mo bá sọ pé, ‘Eléyìí kò ní bá ọ lọ,’ òun kò gbọdọ̀ lọ.”
Then the LORD said to Gideon, “There are still too many people. Take them down to the water, and I will sift them for you there. If I say to you, ‘This one shall go with you,’ he shall go. But if I say, ‘This one shall not go with you,’ he shall not go.”
5 Gideoni sì kó àwọn ọkùnrin náà lọ sí ibi ìsun omi. Níbẹ̀ ni Olúwa ti wí fún un pé, “Kí ó pín àwọn ènìyàn náà sí ọ̀nà méjì. Ya àwọn tí ó fi ahọ́n wọn lá omi bí ajá kúrò lára àwọn tí ó kúnlẹ̀ láti mu omi pẹ̀lú ọwọ́ wọn.”
So Gideon brought the people down to the water, and the LORD said to him, “Separate those who lap the water with their tongues like a dog from those who kneel to drink.”
6 Ọ̀ọ́dúnrún ọkùnrin ni ó lá omi pẹ̀lú ahọ́n wọn. Gbogbo àwọn ìyókù ni ó kúnlẹ̀ láti mu mi.
And the number of those who lapped the water with their hands to their mouths was three hundred men; all the others knelt to drink.
7 Olúwa wí fún Gideoni pé, “Àwọn ọ̀ọ́dúnrún ọkùnrin tí ó lá omi ni èmi yóò lò láti gbà yín là àti láti fi ogun Midiani lé yín lọ́wọ́. Jẹ́ kí àwọn tókù padà sí ilé wọn.”
Then the LORD said to Gideon, “With the three hundred men who lapped the water I will save you and deliver the Midianites into your hand. But all the others are to go home.”
8 Báyìí ni Gideoni ṣe dá àwọn Israẹli tí ó kù padà sí àgọ́ wọn, ṣùgbọ́n ó dá àwọn ọ̀ọ́dúnrún ọkùnrin náà dúró. Àwọn wọ̀nyí sì gba gbogbo ohun èlò àti fèrè àwọn tí ó ti padà. Ibùdó ogun àwọn Midiani wà ní àfonífojì ní ìsàlẹ̀. Ibi tí ó wà.
So Gideon sent the rest of the Israelites to their tents but kept the three hundred men, who took charge of the provisions and rams’ horns of the others. And the camp of Midian lay below him in the valley.
9 Ní òru ọjọ́ náà Olúwa sọ fún Gideoni pé, “Dìde, dojú ogun kọ ibùdó ogun àwọn ará Midiani nítorí èmi yóò fi lé ọ lọ́wọ́.
That night the LORD said to Gideon, “Get up and go down against the camp, for I have delivered it into your hand.
10 Ṣùgbọ́n bí ẹ̀rù àti kọlù wọ́n bá ń bà ọ́, yọ́ wọ ibùdó wọn lọ kí o mú Pura ìránṣẹ́ rẹ lọ́wọ́
But if you are afraid to do so, then go down to the camp with your servant Purah
11 kí o sì fi ara balẹ̀ gbọ́ ohun tí wọ́n ń sọ nínú ibùdó náà. Lẹ́yìn èyí ọkàn rẹ̀ yóò le láti kọlù ibùdó náà.” Báyìí ni òun àti Pura ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ wọ ẹnu-ọ̀nà ibùdó yìí.
and listen to what they are saying. Then your hands will be strengthened to attack the camp.” So he went with Purah his servant to the outposts where armed men were guarding the camp.
12 Àwọn ará Midiani, àwọn ará Amaleki àti gbogbo ènìyàn ìlà-oòrùn tó lọ ní àfonífojì bí eṣú ni wọ́n rí nítorí púpọ̀ wọn. Àwọn ìbákasẹ wọn kò sì lóǹkà, wọ́n sì pọ̀ bí yanrìn inú Òkun.
Now the Midianites, Amalekites, and all the other people of the east had settled in the valley like a swarm of locusts, and their camels were as countless as the sand on the seashore.
13 Gideoni dé sí àsìkò tí ọkùnrin kan bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í rọ́ àlá tí ó lá sí ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ̀. Ó ní, “Mo lá àlá kan, nínú àlá náà mo rí àkàrà kan tó ṣe róbótó tí a fi barle ṣe ń yí wọ inú ibùdó àwọn ará Midiani, ó sì kọlu àgọ́ pẹ̀lú agbára ńlá dé bi wí pé àgọ́ náà dojúdé, ó sì ṣubú.”
And as Gideon arrived, a man was telling his friend about a dream. “Behold, I had a dream,” he said, “and I saw a loaf of barley bread come tumbling into the Midianite camp. It struck the tent so hard that the tent overturned and collapsed.”
14 Ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ̀ dá a lóhùn pé, “Èyí kò le túmọ̀ sí ohun mìíràn ju idà Gideoni ọmọ Joaṣi ará Israẹli lọ: Ọlọ́run ti fi àwọn ará Midiani àti gbogbo ogun ibùdó lé e lọ́wọ́.”
His friend replied: “This is nothing less than the sword of Gideon son of Joash, the Israelite. God has delivered Midian and the whole camp into his hand.”
15 Nígbà tí Gideoni gbọ́ àlá náà àti ìtumọ̀ rẹ̀, ó wólẹ̀ sin Ọlọ́run: lẹ́yìn náà ni ó padà sí ibùdó àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ó sì pè wọ́n pé, “Ẹ dìde! Nítorí pé Olúwa yóò lò yín láti ṣẹ́gun gbogbo ogun Midiani.”
When Gideon heard the dream and its interpretation, he bowed in worship. He returned to the camp of Israel and said, “Get up, for the LORD has delivered the camp of Midian into your hand.”
16 Nígbà tí ó ti pín àwọn ọ̀ọ́dúnrún ọkùnrin wọ̀n-ọn-nì sí ọ̀nà mẹ́ta, ó fi fèrè, pẹ̀lú àwọn òfìfo ìkòkò lé ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan wọn lọ́wọ́, iná sì wà nínú àwọn ìkòkò náà.
And he divided the three hundred men into three companies and gave each man a ram’s horn in one hand and a large jar in the other, containing a torch.
17 Ó sọ fún wọn pé, “Ẹ máa wò mí, kí ẹ sì máa ṣe ohun tí mo bá ṣe. Nígbà tí mo bá dé igun ibùdó wọn ẹ ṣe ohun tí mo bá ṣe.
“Watch me and do as I do,” Gideon said. “When I come to the outskirts of the camp, do exactly as I do.
18 Nígbà tí èmi àti àwọn ọkùnrin tí ó wà pẹ̀lú mi bá fun fèrè wa, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí ẹ̀yin náà ni gbogbo igun ibùdó tí ẹ̀ bá wà kí ẹ fun àwọn fèrè yín kí ẹ sì hó pé, ‘Fún Olúwa àti fún Gideoni.’”
When I and all who are with me blow our horns, then you are also to blow your horns from all around the camp and shout, ‘For the LORD and for Gideon!’”
19 Gideoni àti àwọn ọgọ́rùn-ún ọkùnrin tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ dé òpin ibùdó àwọn ará Midiani ní nǹkan bí agogo méjìlá padà. Wọ́n fun fèrè wọn, wọ́n sì tún fọ́ àwọn ìkòkò tí ó wà ní ọwọ́ mọ́lẹ̀.
Gideon and the hundred men with him reached the outskirts of the camp at the beginning of the middle watch, just after the changing of the guard. They blew their horns and broke the jars that were in their hands.
20 Àwọn ẹgbẹ́ mẹ́tẹ̀ẹ̀ta fun fèrè wọn, wọ́n tún fọ́ àwọn ìkòkò wọn mọ́lẹ̀. Wọ́n mú àwọn fìtílà iná wọn ní ọwọ́ òsì wọn àti fèrè tí wọ́n ń fun ní ọwọ́ ọ̀tún wọn. Wọ́n pariwo hé è pé, “Idà kan fún Olúwa àti fún Gideoni!”
The three companies blew their horns and shattered their jars. Holding the torches in their left hands and the horns in their right hands, they shouted, “A sword for the LORD and for Gideon!”
21 Nígbà tí ọkùnrin kọ̀ọ̀kan dúró ní ipò rẹ̀ yí ibùdó àwọn Midiani ká, gbogbo àwọn ọmọ-ogun Midiani ń sá káàkiri, wọ́n ń pariwo bí wọ́n ṣe ń sálọ.
Each Israelite took his position around the camp, and the entire Midianite army fled, crying out as they ran.
22 Nígbà tí àwọn ọ̀ọ́dúnrún ọkùnrin wọ̀n-ọn-nì fun fèrè wọn, Olúwa sì yí ojú idà ọkùnrin kọ̀ọ̀kan padà sí ẹnìkejì rẹ̀ àti sí gbogbo ogun wọn. Àwọn ọmọ-ogun sì sá títí dé Beti-Sitta ní ọ̀nà Serera títí lọ dé ìpínlẹ̀ Abeli-Mehola ní ẹ̀bá Tabbati.
And when the three hundred rams’ horns sounded, the LORD set all the men in the camp against one another with their swords. The army fled to Beth-shittah toward Zererah as far as the border of Abel-meholah near Tabbath.
23 Gbogbo àwọn ọmọ-ogun Israẹli láti ẹ̀yà Naftali, Aṣeri àti gbogbo Manase ni Gideoni ránṣẹ́ si, wọ́n wá wọ́n sì lé àwọn ará Midiani.
Then the men of Israel were called out from Naphtali, Asher, and all Manasseh, and they pursued the Midianites.
24 Gideoni tún ránṣẹ́ sí gbogbo àwọn ìlú tí ó wà ní orí òkè Efraimu wí pé, “Ẹ jáde wá bá àwọn ará Midiani jà, kí ẹ tètè gba àwọn omi Jordani títí dé Beti-Bara kí wọ́n tó dé bẹ̀.” Báyìí ni a ṣe pe gbogbo ọkùnrin ológun Efraimu jáde tí wọ́n sì gba gbogbo àwọn à bá wọ odò Jordani títí dé Beti-Bara.
Gideon sent messengers throughout the hill country of Ephraim to say, “Come down against the Midianites and seize the waters of the Jordan ahead of them as far as Beth-barah.” So all the men of Ephraim were called out, and they captured the waters of the Jordan as far as Beth-barah.
25 Wọ́n mú méjì nínú àwọn olórí àwọn ará Midiani, àwọn náà ni Orebu àti Seebu. Wọ́n pa Horebu nínú àpáta Orebu, wọ́n sì pa Seebu níbi tí àwọn ènìyàn ti mọ̀ fún wáìnì tí a ń pè ní ìfúntí Seebu. Wọ́n lé àwọn ará Midiani, nígbà tí wọ́n gbé orí Orebu àti Seebu tọ Gideoni wá ẹni tí ó wà ní apá kejì Jordani.
They also captured Oreb and Zeeb, the two princes of Midian; and they killed Oreb at the rock of Oreb and Zeeb at the winepress of Zeeb. So they pursued the Midianites and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the other side of the Jordan.
