¹And the men of Ephraim said unto him, Why hast thou served us thus, that thou calledst us not, when thou wentest to fight with the Midianites? And they did chide with him sharply.

¹Oo raggii reer Efrayim waxay Gidcoon ku yidhaahdeen, War maxaad waxan noogu samaysay, oo aad noogu yeedhi weyday, markaad u soo kacday inaad reer Midyaan la dagaallanto? Oo aad iyo aad bay u canaanteen isagii.

²And he said unto 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?

²Oo isna wuxuu ku yidhi, Haddaba maxaan sameeyey oo u qalma waxaad samayseen? Ururinta dambe oo canabka reer Efrayim sow kama wanaagsana ururinta hore oo canabka reer Abiiceser?

³God hath delivered into your hands the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb: and what was I able to do in comparison of you? Then their anger was abated toward him, when he had said that.

³Ilaah wuxuu gacanta idiin geliyey amiirradii reer Midyaan oo ahaa Cooreeb iyo Se'eeb; haddaba maxaan samayn karay oo u qalma waxaad samayseen? Oo markuu sidaas ku yidhi ayaa ciilkay u qabeen ka baxay.

⁴And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them.

⁴Markaasay Gidcoon iyo saddexdii boqol oo nin ee la socotay isaga yimaadeen Webi Urdun, wayna ka gudbeen, oo in kastoo ay daalanaayeen weliba wax bay eryoonayeen.

⁵And he said unto the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves of bread unto the people that follow me; for they be faint, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian.

⁵Markaasuu dadkii reer Sukod ku yidhi, Waan idin baryayaaye, dadka ila socda kibis siiya, waayo, way daalan yihiin, oo anna waxaan eryoonayaa boqorrada reer Midyaan oo ah Sebah iyo Salmunnac.

⁶And the princes of Succoth said, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we should give bread unto thine army?

⁶Markaasaa amiirradii reer Sukod waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Sebah iyo Salmunnac miyey haatan gacantaada ku jiraan aannu colkaaga cunto siinnee?

⁷And Gideon said, Therefore when the LORD hath delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into mine hand, then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.

⁷Markaasaa Gidcoon wuxuu yidhi, Waa hagaag ee markii Rabbigu ii soo gacangeliyo Sebah iyo Salmunnac ayaan hilibkiinna ku jeexjeexi doonaa qodxanta cidlada iyo gocondhada.

⁸And he went up thence to Penuel, and spake unto them likewise: and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered him.

⁸Markaasuu intuu halkaas ka tegey ayuu u kacay xagga reer Fenuu'eel, sidii oo kaluu ku yidhi; oo raggii reer Fenuu'eel waxay ugu jawaabeen sidii ay reer Sukod ugu jawaabeen oo kale.

⁹And he spake also unto the men of Penuel, saying, When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower.

⁹Kolkaasuu haddana wuxuu la hadlay raggii reer Fenuu'eel oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Markaan soo nabad noqdo ayaan dumin doonaa munaaraddan.

¹⁰Now 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.

¹⁰Haddaba Sebah iyo Salmunnac waxay joogeen Qarqor, iyaga iyo ciidammadoodii, oo waxay ku dhowaayeen shan iyo toban kun oo nin, oo intaasuna waxay ahayd intii ka hadhay ciidankii reer bariga oo dhan; waayo, waxaa ka la'day boqol iyo labaatan kun oo nin oo seefqaad ah.

¹¹And 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.

¹¹Kolkaasaa Gidcoon u kacay xagga kuwii teendhooyinka degganaa oo ku jiray meel bari ka xigta Nobax iyo Yaagbehaah, oo wuxuu laayay ciidankii, maxaa yeelay, ciidanku nabad buu u fadhiyey.

¹²And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled, he pursued after them, and took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and discomfited all the host.

¹²Oo Sebah iyo Salmunnac way carareen, oo isna wuu eryooday, wuuna soo qabsaday labadii boqor oo reer Midyaan oo ahaa Sebah iyo Salmunnac, oo ciidankii oo dhanna wuu ka nixiyey.

¹³And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle before the sun was up,

¹³Oo Gidcoon ina Yoo'aash wuxuu dagaalkii kaga soo noqday jiirtii Xeres.

¹⁴And caught a young man of the men of Succoth, and inquired of him: and he described unto him the princes of Succoth, and the elders thereof, even threescore and seventeen men.

¹⁴Markaasuu wuxuu qabtay nin dhallinyar oo reer Sukod ah, oo wax weyddiiyey; oo isna wuxuu u tilmaamay amiirradii reer Sukod iyo odayaashoodii, oo waxayna ahaayeen toddoba iyo toddobaatan nin.

¹⁵And he came unto the men of Succoth, and said, Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, with whom ye did upbraid me, saying, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we should give bread unto thy men that are weary?

¹⁵Markaasuu wuxuu u yimid raggii reer Sukod, oo wuxuuna ku yidhi, Bal eega Sebah iyo Salmunnac, kuwii aad daraaddood iigu majaajilooteen oo aad igu tidhaahdeen, Sebah iyo Salmunnac miyey haatan gacantaada ku jiraan, aannu raggaaga daalan cunto siinnee?

¹⁶And he took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness and briers, and with them he taught the men of Succoth.

¹⁶Markaasuu kaxaystay odayaashii magaalada, oo wuxuu qaaday qodxantii cidlada iyo gocondho, wuuna ku edbiyey dadkii reer Sukod.

¹⁷And he beat down the tower of Penuel, and slew the men of the city.

¹⁷Oo munaaraddii Fenuu'eelna wuu dumiyey, dadkii magaaladana wuu laayay.

¹⁸Then said he unto 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.

¹⁸Kolkaasuu Sebah iyo Salmunnac ku yidhi, Raggii aad Taaboor ku layseen siday ahaayeen? Oo iyana waxay ugu jawaabeen, Waxay ahaayeen sidaadoo kale; oo mid waluba wuxuu u ekaa ilmo boqor oo kale.

¹⁹And 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.

¹⁹Isna wuxuu yidhi, Waxay ahaayeen walaalahay oo ah wiilashii hooyaday; oo haddii aad iyagoo nool bixin lahaydeen, Rabbiga nool baan ku dhaartaye, idinma aan laayeen.

²⁰And he said unto Jether his firstborn, Up, and slay them. But the youth drew not his sword: for he feared, because he was yet a youth.

²⁰Markaasuu curadkiisii Yeter ku yidhi, Kac oo laa iyaga. Laakiinse wiilkii seeftiisii lama uu soo bixin; maxaa yeelay, wuu baqay, waayo, weli wuu yaraa.

²¹Then 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.

²¹Markaasaa Sebah iyo Salmunnac waxay ku yidhaahdeen, War adigu kac oo na laa; waayo, nin waluba siduu yahay ayaa xooggiisuna yahay. Markaasaa Gidcoon kacay oo laayay Sebah iyo Salmunnac, oo wuxuu qaatay bilihii ku xidhnaa qoorta awrtooda.

²²Then the men of Israel said unto 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.

²²Markaasaa dadkii reer binu Israa'iil waxay Gidcoon ku yidhaahdeen, Haddaba noo tali, adiga iyo wiilkaaga, iyo wiilkaaga wiilkiisuba; maxaa yeelay, waad naga badbaadisay gacantii reer Midyaan.

²³And Gideon said unto them, I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you: the LORD shall rule over you.

²³Kolkaasaa Gidcoon wuxuu ku yidhi, Anigu idiinma talin doono, wiilkayguna idiinma talin doono; laakiinse Rabbigaa idiin talin doona.

²⁴And Gideon said unto them, I would desire a request of you, that ye would give me every man the earrings of his prey. (For they had golden earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.)

²⁴Oo haddana Gidcoon wuxuu ku yidhi, Waxaan idin weyddiisan lahaa in ninkiin waluba i siiyo hilqadihii uu boolida u helay. (Waxay haysteen hilqado dahab ah, maxaa yeelay, waxay ahaayeen reer Ismaaciil).

²⁵And they answered, We will willingly give them. And they spread a garment, and did cast therein every man the earrings of his prey.

²⁵Oo waxay ugu jawaabeen, Annagoo raalli ka ah ayaannu ku siinaynaa. Kolkaasay maro gogleen, oo nin kastaaba wuxuu ku tuuray hilqadihii uu boolida u helay.

²⁶And the weight of the golden earrings that he requested was a thousand and seven hundred shekels of gold; beside ornaments, and collars, and purple raiment that was on the kings of Midian, and beside the chains that were about their camels' necks.

²⁶Oo hilqadihii dahabka ahaa oo uu weyddiistay miisaankoodii wuxuu noqday kun iyo toddoba boqol oo sheqel oo dahab ah, intaasoo aanay ku jirin bilihii, iyo murriyadihii, iyo dharkii guduudnaa oo ay boqorradii reer Midyaan xidhnaayeen, iyo silsiladihii sudhnaa qoorta awrtooda.

²⁷And Gideon made an ephod thereof, and put it in his city, even in Ophrah: and all Israel went thither a whoring after it: which thing became a snare unto Gideon, and to his house.

²⁷Markaasaa Gidcoon wuxuu dahabkii ka sameeyey eefod, oo wuxuu dhigay magaaladiisii taasoo ahayd Coofraah; oo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammuna way wada raaceen sidii naag ninkeedii ka dhillowday, markaasuu dabin ku noqday Gidcoon iyo reerkiisiiba.

²⁸Thus was Midian subdued before the children of Israel, so that they lifted up their heads no more. And the country was in quietness forty years in the days of Gideon.

²⁸Sidaasaa reer Midyaan loo hoosaysiiyey reer binu Israa'iil hortooda, oo mar dambena madaxooda kor uma ay qaadin. Oo wakhtigii Gidcoon dalku wuxuu nastay afartan sannadood.

²⁹And Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and dwelt in his own house.

²⁹Markaasaa wiilkii Yoo'aash, oo Yerubbacal ahaa intuu tegey ayuu iska degay gurigiisii.

³⁰And Gideon had threescore and ten sons of his body begotten: for he had many wives.

³⁰Oo Gidcoon wuxuu lahaa toddobaatan wiil oo uu isagu dhalay, waayo, wuxuu qabay naago badan.

³¹And his concubine that was in Shechem, she also bare him a son, whose name he called Abimelech.

³¹Oo naagtiisii addoonta ahayd oo degganayd Shekem, iyana wiil bay u dhashay, oo wuxuu magiciisii u bixiyey Abiimeleg.

³²And 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.

³²Oo Gidcoon ina Yoo'aash ayaa dhintay isagoo da' weyn, oo waxaa lagu aasay xabaashii aabbihiis Yoo'aash, oo ku tiil Coofraah tii reer Abiiceser.

³³And it came to pass, as soon as Gideon was dead, that the children of Israel turned again, and went a whoring after Baalim, and made Baalberith their god.

³³Oo isla markii Gidcoon dhintay ayay reer binu Israa'iil haddana noqdeen, oo Bacaliimkii raaceen sidii naag ninkeedii ka dhillowday, oo Bacal Beriidna ilaahoodii bay ka dhigteen.

³⁴And the children of Israel remembered not the LORD their God, who had delivered them out of the hands of all their enemies on every side:

³⁴Oo reer binu Israa'iilna ma ay xusuusan Rabbiga Ilaahood ahaa, oo ka samatabbixiyey cadaawayaashoodii dhan kasta ka xigay oo dhan;raxmadna ma ay tusin reerkii Yerubbacal, kaasoo ahaa Gidcoon, siduu wanaagga oo dhan ugu sameeyey reer binu Israa'iil.

³⁵Neither showed they kindness to the house of Jerubbaal, namely, Gideon, according to all the goodness which he had showed unto Israel.

³⁵raxmadna ma ay tusin reerkii Yerubbacal, kaasoo ahaa Gidcoon, siduu wanaagga oo dhan ugu sameeyey reer binu Israa'iil.
