1Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people who were with him, rose up early, and encamped 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.
1 A ciya no, kala Yerub-Baal, kaŋ ga ti Jideyon, nga nda jama kulu kaŋ go noodin care banda, i tun za da hinay ka gata sinji Harod hari zuray jarga. Midiyan borey gata mo go i wano se azawa kambe, za Moore tudo gaa ka koy jine gooro ra.
1Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people that were with him, rose up early, and encamped 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.
2Yahweh 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.’
2 Rabbi ne Jideyon se: «Jama kaŋ go ni banda, i baa gumo ay se, kaŋ ay ga Midiyan borey daŋ i kambe ra. Zama Israyla ma si fooma ay gaa ka ne: ‹Ay bumbo kamba no k'ay faaba.›
2And Jehovah said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me.
3Now therefore proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, ‘Whoever is fearful and trembling, let him return and depart from Mount Gilead.’” Twenty-two thousand of the people returned, and ten thousand remained.
3 Day, ni ma koy ka fe jama kulu hangey ra ka ne: ‹Boro kulu kaŋ humburkumay goono g'a di, a goono ga jijiri mo, bora ma casu ka fun Jileyad ka nga koyyaŋ te!› » Boro zambar waranka cindi hinka no ka ye, a cindi zambar way.
3Now therefore proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and trembling, let him return and depart from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand.
4Yahweh said to Gideon, “The people are still too many. Bring them down to the water, and I will test them for you there. 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.”
4 Rabbi ne Jideyon se: «Hala hõ jama baa ay se. Day, ma kond'ey haro do. Ay g'i neesi ni se noodin. A ga ciya mo, boro kulu kaŋ ay ga ci ni se: ‹Woone ga koy ni banda,› nga no ga koy ni banda. Boro kulu mo kaŋ ay ne ni se: ‹Woone si koy ni banda› bora din si koy no.»
4And Jehovah said unto Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go.
5So he brought down the people to the water; and Yahweh said to Gideon, “Everyone who laps of the water with his tongue, like a dog laps, you shall set him by himself; likewise everyone who bows down on his knees to drink.”
5 Jideyon binde konda jama haro do haray. Rabbi ne Jideyon se: «Boro kulu kaŋ na haro haŋ da deene, sanda mate kaŋ hansi ga te, ma woodin ye waani kuray fo. Yaadin mo no boro kaŋ sombu nga kangey gaa haŋyaŋo se.»
5So he brought down the people unto the water: and Jehovah said unto Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink.
6The number of those who lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was three hundred men; but all the rest of the people bowed down on their knees to drink water.
6 Borey kaŋ yaŋ na haro ku da ngey kambe ka zu, boro zangu hinza no i n'i lasaabu. Amma jama cindo kulu sombu no ngey ma haro haŋ se.
6And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water.
7Yahweh said to Gideon, “By the three hundred men who lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into your hand. Let all the other people go, each to his own place.”
7 Kala Rabbi ne Jideyon se: «Boro zangu hinza din kaŋ na haro zu, ay g'araŋ faaba d'i kambe, ay ma Midiyan borey daŋ ni kambe ra. Amma ma fay da jama kulu ma ye fu. Boro kulu ma koy nga kwaara.»
7And Jehovah said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thy hand; and let all the people go every man unto his place.
8So 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.
8 Zangu hinza din binde na jama hindoonayey sambu ngey kambe ra, da ngey hilley. Jideyon na Israyla borey kulu sallama, boro kulu ma koy nga kuuru-fuwo do. Amma a na boro zangu hinza din wo gaay. Midiyan borey gata go a cire ganda gooro ra.
8So the people took victuals in their hand, and their trumpets; and he sent all the men of Israel every man unto his tent, but retained the three hundred men: and the camp of Midian was beneath him in the valley.
9It happened the same night, that Yahweh said to him, “Arise, go down into the camp; for I have delivered it into your hand.
9 A ciya no, cino din ra Rabbi ne Jideyon se: «Tun ka koy i gata ra, zama ay n'i daŋ ni kambe ra.
9And it came to pass the same night, that Jehovah said unto him, Arise, get thee down into the camp; for I have delivered it into thy hand.
10But if you are afraid to go down, go with Purah your servant down to the camp:
10 Amma da ni ga humburu zumbuyaŋo, ma ni bannya Pura sambu. Nin d'a ma zumbu care banda ka furo Midiyan borey gata ra.
10But if thou fear to go down, go thou with Purah thy servant down to the camp:
11and you shall hear what they say; and afterward your hands will be strengthened to go down into the camp.” Then went he down with Purah his servant to the outermost part of the armed men who were in the camp.
11 Ni ga maa haŋ kaŋ i ga dede, woodin banda ni kambey ga gaabu kaŋ ga naŋ ni ma koy ka furo i gata ra.» Waato din gaa no a zumbu, nga nda nga bannya Pura care banda ka koy nango kaŋ wongu marga go gata hirro me gaa.
11and thou shalt hear what they say; and afterward shall thy hands be strengthened to go down into the camp. Then went he down with Purah his servant unto the outermost part of the armed men that were in the camp.
12The Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like locusts for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand which is on the seashore for multitude.
12 Zama Midiyan borey da Amalekancey da wayna funay izey, i kulu go ga daaru gooro ra, danga day do cine, kaŋ i ga baa gumo. I yoy sinda me, danga teeku me gaa taasi baayaŋ cine.
12And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like locusts for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand which is upon the sea-shore for multitude.
13When Gideon had come, behold, there was a man telling a dream to his fellow; and he said, “Behold, I dreamed a dream; and behold, 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 lay flat.”
13 Waato kaŋ Jideyon kaa, kala boro fo go ga dede nga hangasin se hindiri fo kaŋ nga te. Bora ne: «Guna, ay na hindiri fo te. A go, sayir* buuru ize fo kaa ka kaŋ Midiyan borey gata ra, a furo kuuru-fuwo ra, a n'a kar kala a kaŋ, a n'a zeeri, kala a go ga kani ganda ka salle.»
13And when Gideon was come, behold, there was a man telling a dream unto his fellow; and he said, Behold, I dreamed a dream; and, lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian, and came unto the tent, and smote it so that it fell, and turned it upside down, so that the tent lay flat.
14His fellow answered, “This is nothing other than the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel. God has delivered Midian into his hand, with all the army.”
14 Hangasino tu a se ka ne: «Woodin manti hay kulu no kala Jideyon, Yowas izo, Israyla bora, a takuba no. A kambe ra no Irikoy na Midiyan borey daŋ, ngey nd'i kundey marga kulu.»
14And his fellow answered and said, This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: into his hand God hath delivered Midian, and all the host.
15It 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, “Arise; for Yahweh has delivered the army of Midian into your hand!”
15 Yaadin mo no ka te, saaya kaŋ Jideyon maa hindiro ciyaŋo, d'a feerijo, a sombu ka sumbal. A bare ka ye Israyla gata do. A ne: «Wa tun! zama Rabbi na Midiyan borey kundey daŋ araŋ kambe ra!»
15And it was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he worshipped; and he returned into the camp of Israel, and said, Arise; for Jehovah hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian.
16He 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.
16 Boro zangu hinza din binde, Jideyon n'i fay kanandi hinza. A na hilli daŋ ikulu kambe ra, da kus'izeyaŋ kaŋ sinda hay kulu i ra kala yulbeyaŋ.
16And 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.
17He said to them, “Watch me, and do likewise. Behold, when I come to the outermost part of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so you shall do.
17 Gaa no a ne i se: «Wa te ya-cine: araŋ ma laakal da ay. Mate kaŋ ay te, araŋ mo ma te yaadin. A go mo, waati kaŋ ay to gata me gaa ya-haray, a ga ciya mo, mate kaŋ ay te, yaadin cine no araŋ mo ga te.
17And he said unto them, Look on me, and do likewise: and, behold, when I come to the outermost part of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall ye do.
18When I blow the trumpet, I and all who are with me, then blow the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and shout, ‘For Yahweh and for Gideon!’”
18 D'ay na hilli kar, in da borey kulu kaŋ yaŋ go ay banda, araŋ mo ma hilli kar nangu kulu gata banda. Araŋ ma ne: ‹Iri ya Rabbi da Jideyon waneyaŋ no!› »
18When I blow the trumpet, I and all that are with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, For Jehovah and for Gideon.
19So 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.
19 Yaadin no, Jideyon da boro zango kaŋ yaŋ go a banda kaa ka to gata me cin bindi, waato kaŋ batukwa daŋyaŋ mana baa gay. Jideyonyaŋ na ngey hilley kar ka kus'izey kaŋ yaŋ go i kambey ra bagu.
19So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto 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 brake in pieces the pitchers that were in their hands.
20The 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 shouted, “The sword of Yahweh and of Gideon!”
20 Sata hinza kulu na hilley kar ka kus'izey bagu, yulbey go i se ga gay kambe wow ra. I na hilley kaŋ ngey ga kar din daŋ kambe ŋwaarey ra. I na jinde tunandi ka ne: «Rabbi da Jideyon takuba, nga neeya!»
20And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the torches in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands wherewith to blow; and they cried, The sword of Jehovah and of Gideon.
21They each stood in his place around the camp; and all the army ran; and they shouted, and put them to flight.
21 Borey mo, i afo kulu kay nga nango ra gata banda. Midiyan borey kundey marga kulu binde jiti ka kuuwa ka ngey boŋ ceeci.
21And they stood every man in his place round about the camp; and all the host ran; and they shouted, and put [them] to flight.
22They blew the three hundred trumpets, and Yahweh set every man’s sword against his fellow, and against all the army; and the army fled as far as Beth Shittah toward Zererah, as far as the border of Abel Meholah, by Tabbath.
22 Boro zangu hinza din na hilliyaŋ kar. Midiyan borey ra no Rabbi naŋ i afo kulu takuba ma gaaba nda nga cala wano, ka gaaba mo da wongu marga kulu. Wongu marga binde zuru kal i koy hala Bayt-Sitta, Zerera haray, kal i koy ka to Abel-Mehola, Tabbat haray.
22And they blew the three hundred trumpets, and Jehovah set every man's sword against his fellow, and against all the host; and the host fled as far as Beth-shittah toward Zererah, as far as the border of Abel-meholah, by Tabbath.
23The men of Israel were gathered together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after Midian.
23 Israyla borey margu za Naftali da Aser da Manasse kulu mo ka Midiyan borey gaaray.
23And the men of Israel were gathered together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after Midian.
24Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill country of Ephraim, saying, “Come down against Midian, and take before them the waters, as far as Beth Barah, even the Jordan!” So all the men of Ephraim were gathered together, and took the waters as far as Beth Barah, even the Jordan.
24 Jideyon na diyayaŋ donton Ifraymu tondey laabey kulu ra ka ne: «Wa kaa ka Midiyan borey gaarey ka hari fondey kosaray i se, kala ma koy Bayt-Bara, da Urdun.» Ifraymu borey kulu binde margu ka harey kosaray ka to hala Bayt-Bara da Urdun.
24And Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill-country of Ephraim, saying, Come down against Midian, and take before them the waters, as far as Beth-barah, even the Jordan. So all the men of Ephraim were gathered together, and took the waters as far as Beth-barah, even the Jordan.
25They 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: and they brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon beyond the Jordan.
25 I na Midiyan mayraykoy hinka di, Oreb da Zeyeb. I na Oreb wi Oreb tondo do haray, Zeyeb mo i n'a wi Zeyeb reyzin kankamyaŋo do haray. I na Midiyan borey gana. I kande Oreb da Zeyeb boŋey Jideyon do Urdun daŋanta.
25And they took the two princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb; and they slew Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and Zeeb they slew at the winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian: and they brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon beyond the Jordan.
