13 Gideon we mu pura a tja: “Arikana, muhona wandje, Muhona tje ri puna eṱe okutjavi oviṋa mbi avihe tji mavi tjitwa ku eṱe? Nu imbi ovitjitwa vye ovihimise vi ri pi ootate mbi ve tu raera, indu tji va tja Muhona we tu pitisire mOengipte? Nambano Muhona we tu imbirahi, nu we tu yandja momake wOvamidian.”
14 Muhona opa rakiza ku ye na tja: “Nambano kawondje nomasa woye aehe ngu u na wo u kakuture Ovaisrael meke rOvamidian! Owami Muhona ngu me ku hindi.”
15 Nungwari Gideon we mu pura a tja: “Arikana, Muhona, Ovaisrael meve kutura na tjike? Tara, onganda yandje ondji ri otjingundi tjinene momuhoko wa Manasse, nami omuini owami omuhinanḓengu tjinene meṱunḓu randje.”
16 Muhona wa tja ku ye: “Ami me kara puna ove kutja u nyone Ovamidian aayo owo omurumendu umwe uriri.”

Neye opa tjera nai: “Ami me kara nga ove tji wa kotoka.”
19 Okuzambo Gideon wa hita mondjuwo, a katereka okangombona na ungura omavanda nge hi nosurise wozokirograma omurongo; indji onyama wa twa motjimbamba nomanyuṋe wayo wa twa monyungu; tjazumba e vi pitisa pendje ku ye kehi yomumborombonga, ne kevitwa pehi momurungu we. 20 Nomuengeri wa Ndjambi wa rakiza a tja ku ye: “Toora onyama ndji na inga omavanda nge hi nosurise u vi twe koruuwa ndwi nu inga omanyuṋe u tirire kombanda yavyo.” Nu Gideon wa tjita nao. 21 Omuengeri wa Muhona opa yerera okati ke ka ri na ko meke, na ṱunu na ko onyama nomavanda nge hi nosurise; mwa za omuriro moruuwa au seseta onyama ndji nomavanda nga. Nomuengeri wa Muhona wa zenga momeho we.
22 Nu Gideon tja muna kutja ingwi wa ri omuengeri wa Muhona, arire tja tja: “Owee, Muhona Ndjambi! Ami mba munasana nomuengeri wa Muhona omurungu nomurungu!”
23 Nungwari Muhona wa tja ku ye: “Ohange ngai kare na ove! O tira! Ove komoo ṱu!” 24 Poṋa mbo Gideon wa tungira Muhona otjipunguhiro ne tji ruku kutja: “Muhona eye ohange.” Otjipunguhiro hi nga mba tja kurama mOofra tjOvaabiesri.
25 Nu mouṱuku tjingewo Muhona wa tja nai ku Gideon: “Kambura ondwezu yongombe oitjavari yaiho yozombura hambombari, nu u teye otjipunguhiro tja Baal tji tji ri otjaiho, nu u ke ongunḓe yomukuru wotjisenginina oserekaze Asera, ndji ri meṋe yatjo. 26 Okuzambo tungira Muhona, Ndjambi woye, otjipunguhiro tjomawe nga tendekasana, kondomba yondundu, nu u kambure ondwezu ndji oitjavari, u i punguhe okurira ombunguhiro oningiririsiwa, nu u twe ko ozonguṋe zongunḓe yotjisenginina, indji ndji mo ke, komuriro.” 27 Gideon wa toora ovarumendu omurongo mokati kovakarere ve na tjiti otja Muhona pe mu raerere; nungwari tjinga a tira ovandu veṱunḓu re novarumendu votjihuro okutjita otjiṋa hi mutenya, eye ope tji tjitira ouṱuku.
28 Novature votjihuro tji va penduka omuhuka omunene wependukirwa raindo, arire tji va munu kutja otjipunguhiro tja Baal tja teyerwa pehi, nokutja indji ongunḓe yotjiraisiro tja Asera ndja kuramene meṋe yatjo ya kewa, nokutja ondwezu ndji oitjavari ya punguhirwa kotjipunguhiro tji tja tungirwe mbo. 29 Nowo otji va purasana ave tja: “Owaṋi ngwa tjiti otjiṋa hi?” Nowo tji va za nokukonḓonona nokupura arire tji kwa zu: “Gideon, omuzandu wa Joas, ongwe tji tjiti.” 30 Novature votjihuro va tja ku Joas: “Pitisa omuzandu woye, eye ma sokuṱa, tjinga a teya otjipunguhiro tja Baal, na ke ongunḓe yotjisenginina tja Asera ndja kuramene meṋe yatjo.”
31 Nungwari Joas wa tja nai ku imba avehe mba kuramene puna ye: “Eṋe mamu vanga okurwira Baal are? Poo mamu vanga okumuvatera? Ingwi ngu me mu rwire ma ṱu omuhuka mbunombwi. Tjinangara Baal onguri mukuru nge rirwire omuini, otjipunguhiro tji tja nyanyaurwa tjinga atji ri otje.” 32 Meyuva ndo, Gideon opa rukirwa ena Jerubbaal, Joas tjinga a tja nai: “Baal nge rirwire omuini mena rotjipunguhiro tje tji tja nyanyaurwa.”
33 Ovamidian nOvaamalek avehe nomihoko avihe vyokomuhuka ve rikuta kumwe, ave kondo onḓonḓu Jordan nave katona ozondanda morutjandja rwa Jesreel. 34 Nombepo ya Muhona ya hita mu Gideon; neye wa posisa ohiva, nOvaabieser otji ve mu kongorera. 35 Tjazumba eye wa tuma ovahindwa mehi arihe romuhoko wa Manasse, nowo ve mu kongorera; neye wa tuma ovahindwa komuhoko wa Aser nowa Sebulon nowa Naftali, novyo wina vya sekama okukemuvatera.
36 Gideon wa hungira ku Ndjambi a tja: “Ove, tjiri, tji movanga okukutura Ovaisrael neke randje otja pu wa hungira, 37 osemba uri, ami me yara omukova wonḓu kotjitondero; tji mu nomueme momukova auyerike uriri, indi ehi meṋe yawo ngunda ara kukuta, ami otji me tjiwa kutja ove movanga okukutura Ovaisrael neke randje otja pu wa hungira.” 38 Nu pa tjitwa nao. Gideon tja penduka menyunguhuka wa kama omueme momukova na pitisa mo omeva otjitjuma okuura. 39 Gideon wa hungira ku Ndjambi a tja: “O ṱomazenge na ami, nu ndji yandjera okuhungira rumwe rukwao.

OmolwOvamidian ovana vaIsrael ove lihokela omakololo aa e li meemhunda nomakololo manene neehotengulu domeemhunda. 3 Osheshi alushe Ovaisraeli ngeenge va kuna, Ovamidian nOvaamaleki novanhu vokoushilo ve uya, ndele ve va homona, 4 va onga eenhanda oku va lwifa, ndele va hanauna po oilya yomomapya fiyo okuGasa, ndele inava fiya po nande eendja, needi neengobe ile eendongi muIsrael. 5 Osheshi ovo ve uya noimuna yavo neefaila davo ndele ve uya ngaashi oshipaxu meemhunga, osheshi vo neengamelo davo oda li di he shii okuvalwa. Osho ngaha hano ve uya moshilongo ve shi tokeke. 6 NOvaisraeli va ninga eehepele unene omolwOvamidian, ndelenee ovana vaIsrael va kuwa kOmwene. 7 Novana vaIsrael eshi va kuwa kOmwene omolwOvamidian, 8 Omwene okwa tumina ovana vaIsrael omuxunganeki, ndele ye okwa lombwela Ovaisraeli: “Omwene Kalunga kaIsrael ta ti ngaha: Ame mwene nde mu pitifa muEgipiti, ndele nde mu kufa mo meumbo loupika. 9 Ndele nde mu xupifa momake Ovaegipiti nomomake ovafininiki veni aveshe, ndele nde va taataa komesho yeni, ndele nde mu pa oshilongo shavo. 10 Naame onde mu lombwela: ‘Aame Omwene Kalunga keni.

11 Opo nee omweengeli wOmwene okwe uya nokwa kala omutumba momwandi u li muOfra, ou wa li waJoas, Omuabieser, fimbo omona waye omumati, Gideon, ta xu oilya moshikolelo sheeviinyu, opo ye e i holeke Ovamidian. 12 Nomweengeli wOmwene okwe mu holokela ndele ta ti kuye: “Omwene oku li pamwe naave, omukwanyati omuladi!” 13 Opo nee Gideon te mu pula: “Akutu, Omwene wange, Omwene ngeenge e li pamwe nafye, omolwashike hano oinima aishe ei ye tu wila? Noikumwifalonga yaye, oyo ootate ve tu hepaululila, oi li peni? Venya eshi va tile: Omwene haye e tu pitifa mo muEgipiti? Ndelenee paife Omwene e tu ekelashi ndele e tu yandja meke lOvamidian.” 14 Opo nee Omwene e mu pungulukila ndele ta ti: “Inda meenghono tuu edi doye ndele xupifa Israel meke lOvamidian. Ame ohandi ku tumu.” 15 Ndelenee ye okwe mu pula: “Akutu, Omwene, Israel ohandi ke shi xupifa nashike?

Nombelela e i tula mokambale nomunghoka okwe u tila metiti. Ndele okwe i twala kuye pomwandi ndele te i tula puye. 20 Ndelenee omweengeli wOmwene okwe mu lombwela: “Kufa ombelela noikuki ihe nonhafi, u i tile kemanya eli ndele tila ko kombada yayo omunghoka.” Ndele osho a ninga. 21 Opo nee omweengeli wOmwene okwa ulika onhele yonhaili ei ya li meke laye nokwa kuma ombelela noikuki ihe nonhafi. Opo nee omundilo wa dja memanya ndele wa lungwinifa po ombelela noikuki ihe nonhafi.
