2 Muhona wa tja ku Gideon: “Ovarumendu wovita mbe ri pove ovengi tjinene ku ami okuyandja Ovamidian momake wawo; tjaa Ovaisrael mave rihivi amave tja: ‘Eṱe twe riyama oveni nokuhinombatero ya Muhona.’ 3 Ravaera kovarumendu wovita nu itja: ‘Auhe ngu ma tira na ngu ma mumapara nga yarukire pozondundu za Gilead.’ ” Pa yaruka ovarwe wovita omayovi omirongo vivari na yevari, nu pa sewa omayovi omurongo.
4 Muhona opa tjera ku Gideon: “Ovarumendu wovita inga ovengi tjinene. Ve pundisa koruharwi, nami me kevetoororera ove ngo. Ingwi ami ngu me ku raere kutja nga yende, eye nga yende; nungwari ingwi ami ngu me ku raere kutja a i puna ove, eye a ha i ko.” 5 Gideon wa pundisa ovarwe wovita komeva, nu Muhona wa tja ku ye: “Auhe ngu ma tjaka omeva neraka otja ombwa mu kuramisa komunda umwe; nu auhe ngu ma woro ozongoro okunwa mu kuramisa komunda warwe.” 6 Nu otjivaro tjaimba mba tjakere omeva momake wawo tja ri omasere yetatu, nu imba avehe varwe va wora ozongoro okunwa omeva. 7 Muhona opa tjera nai ku Gideon: “Ami me ku yama nombatero yovarumendu mba omasere yetatu, mba tjaka omeva neraka; nOvamidian me yandja meke roye. Nungwari ovarumendu mba varwe avehe ngave yaruke kozoyawo.” 8 Gideon opa toorera onguta yovarwe wovita puna ozohiva zawo; tjazumba otja isa Ovaisrael avehe ve yaruke kozoyawo posi yaimba ovarumendu omasere yetatu omba ṱakamisira pu ye. Nu inḓa ozondanda zOvamidian za ri kehi morutjandja.
9 Nu mouṱuku mbo Muhona wa tja ku Gideon: “Sekama u punde kozondanda zOvamidian, orondu ami me ze yandja meke roye. 10 Nungwari tji mo tira okupunda kozondanda puna otjimbumba atjihe, rutenga twende ngo puna omukarere woye Pura. 11 Ove mo kazuva imbi ovandu mbi mave hungire; nu tjazumba mo hara omasa okuverwisa.” Eye opa pundira kehi puna omukarere we Pura nga poruteto indwi orutenga rwovatjevere vozondanda. 12 NOvamidian nOvaamalek noviwaṋa avihe vyokomuhuka va rimbara morutjandja tjimuna ovimbumba vyozombahu, nouingi wozongamero zawo kaau sora okuvarwa, wa ri tjimuna eheke pomukuro wokuvare.
13 Nu Gideon tja kavaza ngo, omurumendu worive tjandje ma serekarere oruroto komukwao ama tja: “Tara, ami mba roto kutja pa ri omboroto ndja terekwa povirya, nu ndjaa i kunguzuka okutuurunga ozondanda zOvamidian, ai vete ondanda imwe, ai wisa nai tungunyuna yo; nondanda otji ya sewa nao.”
14 Ingwi omukwao wa zira a tja: “Oruroto ndwi karu nokuheya otjiṋa tjarwe; oro maru hee engaruvyo ra Gideon, Omuisrael, omuzandu wa Joas; Ndjambi wa yandja Ovamidian notjimbumba tjawo atjihe meke re.”
15 Gideon tja za nokuzuva omaserekarerero woruroto nomazengururiro warwo arire tja wora ozongoro ne rikotamene ku Ndjambi. Tjazumba otja yaruka kozondanda zOvaisrael na katja nai: “Sekameye, orondu Muhona me mu pe outoṋi kombanda yOvamidian.” 16 Neye wa haṋa ovarumendu mba omasere yetatu movimbumba vitatu, nu ku wo avehe wa yandja ko ozohiva novitjuma mu mwa ri ovimunine. 17 Neye wa tja nai ku wo: “Tareye ku ami, nu mu tjite otja tji me tjiti. Ami tji mba kavaza kotjikoro tjozondanda tjopendje, eṋe otji mamu tjiti otja ami tji me tjiti. 18 Ami na imba avehe mbe ri pu ami tji twa posisa ozohiva, eṋe wina otji mamu posisa ozohiva kominda avihe vyozondanda, amamu ravaere nai: ‘Ku Muhona na ku Gideon!’ ”
19 Nu Gideon novarumendu esere rimwe mba ri puna ye ve ya kotjikoro tjozondanda tjopendje mokati kouṱuku ovatjevere varwe tji va za nokuuta okutjevera; owo va posisa ozohiva nave nyanyaura ovitjuma, mbi va ri na vyo momake. 20 Novimbumba mbi ovikwao vivari vya posisa ozohiva, avi nyanyaura ovitjuma navi ṱiza omamunine momake wawo omamuho, nozohiva momake wawo wokunene okuposisa amave ravaere nai: “Ku Muhona na ku Gideon!” 21 Nowo va kurama, auhe poruveze rwe, kominda avihe vyozondanda. Ovamidian avehe mozondanda opu va purukutira pendje, tjandje mave uru nokutupuka. 22 Imba omasere yetatu ngunda amave posisa ozohiva, Muhona tjandje wa tjiti kutja omunavita auhe a toorere omukwao engaruvyo. Owo avehe va tupuka nga kObet-Sita kuṱa kOsereda nga komukuro wa Abel-Mehola kOtabat.

Ndelenee keshe ou handi ti kwoove: Ou ina ya naave, ye ina ya naave.” 5 Opo nee ye ta twala omatanga ovakwaita komeva. NOmwene ta ti kuGideon: “Keshe umwe ou ta shakumwine ngaashi ombwa tai shakumwine, ove u noku mu likaleka kombinga imwe; ndele keshe ou ta kotamene ta tu eengolo, na ame kombinga imwe.” 6 Ndelenee omuvalu waava va shakumwina neke, wa li ovalumenhu omafele atatu. Ndelenee ovakwaita aveshe vamwe va kotamena va twa eengolo va nwe omeva. 7 Opo nee Omwene ta ti kuGideon: “Novalumenhu ava omafele atatu ava va shakumwina, Ame ohandi ke mu xupifa nokuyandja Ovamidian meke loye.

Ndele ye okwa lekela ovakwaita aveshe va kotamena, keshe umwe a shune ketwali laye. Ndelenee ovalumenhu omafele atatu, ye e va kaleka puye, fimbo onhanda yOvamidian ya li mefilu lepumbu.”
9 Ndele oufiku tuu winya Omwene okwe mu lombwela ta ti: “Fikama, inda konhanda, osheshi Ame ohandi va yandje meke loye. 10 Ndele ove ngeenge wa tila okuya ko, inda hano konhanda pamwe nomupiya woye Pura, 11 u pwilikine eshi tava popi.” Opo nee omake oye taa ka pamekwa ndele ove to ka ya monhanda. Ye okwa ya hano pamwe nomupiya waye Pura fiyo okovanangeli vokomunghuloelela wonhanda, 12 NOvamidian nOvaamaleki novanhu aveshe vokoushilo va nangala monhanda ngaashi ouhapu woshipaxu neengamelo davo da li dihapu da nyengwa okuvalwa ngaashi edu momunghulo wefuta. 13 Ndele Gideon eshi e uya, omulumenhu umwe okwa hepaululila mukwao pefimbo tuu olo ondjodi ndele ta ti: “Tala, ame nda twa ondjodi. Omungome woilya wa li wa kukuta wa alangatela monhanda yOvamidian, ndele we uya fiyo we lidenga kofaila, yo ya wila po, ndele we i pilula, nofaila ya wila po.” 14 Nomukwao okwa nyamukula ta ti: “oyo kai na shimwe, oyo eongamukonda laGideon yaJoas, Omuisraeli. Kalunga okwa yandja onhanda aishe meke laye.” 15 Gideon eshi a uda ondjodi nefatululo layo, okwe linyongamena ta indile. Ndele okwa shuna konhanda yOvaisraeli ndele ta ti: “Fikameni, osheshi Omwene ta yandje onhanda yOvamidian momake eni.” 16 Ndele ye okwa tukula ovalumenhu omafele atatu eengudu nhatu, nokwe va pa aveshe omanghuma eedi noitoo mu neenyika momake avo, 17 nokwe va lombwela: “Talei nge ndele ningeni ngaashi ame; ndele taleni, ame ngeenge nda fika kovanangeli vokomunghuloelela, nye mu nokuninga naanaa ngaashi ame. 18 Ndele ngeenge ame naaveshe ava ve li pwaame hatu shiki omanghuma, nanye yo mu nokushika omanghuma keembinga adishe donhanda, ndele mu nokutya: ‘MolwOmwene nomolwaGideon!’ ”
