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.
1 Ifraymu alborey ne Jideyon se: «Ifo se no ni na woone te iri se, ni mana iri ce waato kaŋ ni koy ka Midiyan wongu?» I deeni Jideyon gaa da dungay.
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?
2 Jideyon ne i se: «Ifo no ay te kaŋ ga deedandi araŋ wano gaa? Haba? Manti Ifraymu reyzin koobo ga bisa Abi-Ezer reyzin heemar wiyaŋ bo?
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.
3 Irikoy na Midiyan mayraykoyey Oreb da Zeyeb daŋ araŋ kambe ra. Ifo no ay du ka te kaŋ i ga deedandi araŋ wano gaa?» Waato kaŋ a na sanno din ci, i futa zumbu Jideyon se.
4And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them.
4 Gaa no Jideyon kaa Urdun. A daŋandi, nga da boro zangu hinza kaŋ go a banda, kaŋ yaŋ farga, latak! Amma kulu nda yaadin i go ga ngey ibarey gana.
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.
5 Jideyon ne Sukkot borey se: «Ay g'araŋ ŋwaaray, w'ay banda borey no ŋwaari, zama i farga. A go mo, ay go ga Zeba da Zalmunna, Midiyan bonkooney gaaray.»
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?
6 Sukkot koyey ne: «Zeba da Zalmunna, i kambey go ni kambe ra no sohõ? kaŋ ga naŋ iri ma ni wongu marga no ŋwaari?»
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.
7 Jideyon ne: «Sanno din sabbay se, waati kaŋ Rabbi na Zeba da Zalmunna nooyandi ay kambe ra, saaya din ay g'araŋ gaahamey tooru da saajo karjey da tuuri kambeyaŋ.»
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.
8 Jideyon binde tun noodin ka koy Penuwel. A na nga sanni zeena te ngey mo se. Penuwel borey mo te a se sanda mate kaŋ cine Sukkot borey te d'a.
9And he spake also unto the men of Penuel, saying, When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower.
9 Jideyon ne Penuwel borey se: «D'ay ye ka kaa baani samay, ay ga cinari kuuko wo zeeri.»
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.
10 Zeba da Zalmunna binde go Karkor, ngey da ngey wongu marga, sanda boro zambar way cindi gu cine, wayna funay laabey izey; soojey kulu kaŋ cindi nooya. Zama boro zambar zangu nda waranka takubakoyyaŋ, i kulu bu.
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.
11 Jideyon binde ziji ka gana kuuru-fu ra gorokoy do, fonda kaŋ go Noba da Yogbeha se wayna funay haray. A na wongu marga kar, zama i go no noodin laakal kanay ra.
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.
12 Zeba da Zalmunna zuru, Jideyon n'i gana mo. A na Midiyan bonkooni hinka din di, Zeba da Zalmunna. A n'i wongu marga kulu humburandi.
13And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle before the sun was up,
13 Jideyon, Yowas izo ye ka kaa ka fun wongo do, Heres zijiyaŋo do haray.
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.
14 A na Sukkot arwasu fo di k'a hã. Nga mo na Sukkot mayraykoyey d'i arkusey kulu maayey hantum, i boro wayye cindi iyye.
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?
15 Jideyon kaa Sukkot borey do ka ne: «Wa guna, Zeba da Zalmunna neeya, kaŋ yaŋ araŋ n'ay fanta i boŋ. Araŋ ne: ‹Ngo Zeba da Zalmunna go ni kambe ra no sohõ, kaŋ ga naŋ iri ma ŋwaari no ni borey kaŋ farga se?› »
16And he took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness and briers, and with them he taught the men of Succoth.
16 Kala Jideyon na kwaara arkusey di. A na saajo ra karjiyaŋ da tuuri kambeyaŋ sambu ka Sukkot borey gooji.
17And he beat down the tower of Penuel, and slew the men of the city.
17 Jideyon na Penuwel cinari kuuko mo zeeri, a na birno borey mo wi.
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.
18 Gaa no a ne Zeba da Zalmunna se: «Boro mate cine yaŋ no araŋ wi Tabor ra?» I tu ka ne a se: «Danga mate kaŋ ni go, yaadin cine no ngey mo bara. I afo kulu ga hima danga bonkooni ize.»
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.
19 Jideyon ne: «Ay nya-ka-fo-sineyaŋ no; in d'ey, iri nya fo. Ay ze da Rabbi, d'araŋ na borey din fundey faaba, doŋ ay mo si araŋ wi.»
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.
20 Jideyon ne nga ize hay-jina Yeter se: «Tun k'i wi!» Amma arwaso mana nga takuba foobu, zama a go ga humburu, zama nga wo arwasu no jina.
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.
21 Kala Zeba da Zalmunna ne: «Tun, nin din, ka kaŋ iri boŋ, zama boro karyaŋ wo, a gaabo hino me no.» Jideyon binde tun ka Zeba da Zalmunna wi. A n'i yoy jindey gaa taalam jinayyaŋ ta.
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.
22 Waato din gaa no Israyla borey ne Jideyon se: «Ma kaa k'iri may, nin da ni izo, da ni izo mo izo, zama ni n'iri faaba Midiyan kamba ra.»
23And Gideon said unto them, I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you: the LORD shall rule over you.
23 Jideyon ne i se: «Ay si araŋ may, ay ize mo s'a te. Rabbi no g'araŋ may.»
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.)
24 Jideyon ne i se mo: «Ay ga ba ya hay fo ceeci araŋ gaa. Araŋ boro fo kulu m'ay no nga hanga korbayey kaŋ a du wongu arzaka ra.» (Zama i gonda wura hanga korbayyaŋ ngey hangey gaa, zama se ngey ya Isumeylanceyaŋ no.)
25And they answered, We will willingly give them. And they spread a garment, and did cast therein every man the earrings of his prey.
25 I tu ka ne: «Daahir iri g'i no ni se.» I na kwaay daaru. Boro fo kulu na nga wongu arzaka korbayey catu kwaayo boŋ.
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.
26 Wura hanga korbayey kaŋ Jideyon ŋwaaray, i neesiyaŋ tiŋay to kilo waranka cine, wura wane, kaŋ taalam jinayey sanda handu taji himandey si a ra, da jinde haw, da bankaaray moni, kaŋ yaŋ go Midiyan bonkooney jindey gaa. Taalam jinayey kaŋ go i yoy jindey gaa ga sarku, ngey mo baa si.
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.
27 Jideyon na efod* kwaay te da hanga korbayey k'a daŋ nga kwaara ra, danga Ofra nooya. Israyla kulu soobay ka kaaruwataray* te d'a noodin, hal a ciya Jideyon se hirrimi, nga nda nga windo.
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.
28 Yaadin cine no Midiyan ye d'a Israyla kambe mayray cire. I mana ye ka ngey boŋ tunandi koyne. Laabo mo du fulanzamay jiiri waytaaci Jideyon zamana ra.
29And Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and dwelt in his own house.
29 Yerub-Baal, Yowas izo koy ka goro nga bumbo windo ra.
30And Gideon had threescore and ten sons of his body begotten: for he had many wives.
30 Jideyon gonda ize aru wayye, nga bumbo gaahamo hayyaŋ, zama a gonda wande boobo.
31And his concubine that was in Shechem, she also bare him a son, whose name he called Abimelech.
31 Wahayo kaŋ go Jideyon se Sekem ra, nga mo na ize aru hay Jideyon se. Jideyon na nga izo din maa daŋ Abimelek.
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.
32 Jideyon, Yowas izo bu zeenay hanno ra. I n'a fiji nga baabo Yowas saara ra, kaŋ go Ofra, Abi-Ezer borey wano ra.
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.
33 A ciya mo, waato kaŋ Jideyon bu, Israyla izey ye ka bare ka Baalyaŋ gana kaaruwataray ra. I na Baal-Berit ciya ngey de-koy*.
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:
34 Israyla izey mana fongu Rabbi ngey Irikoyo, nga kaŋ n'i faaba hal i fun ngey ibarey kulu kambe ra kuray kulu.
35Neither showed they kindness to the house of Jerubbaal, namely, Gideon, according to all the goodness which he had showed unto Israel.
35 I mana Yerub-Baal windo cabe suuji mo, sanda Jideyon nooya, gomney kulu kaŋ a cabe Israyla se boŋ.
