Ovamidian mave yandekwa
1 Ovaefraim va pura nai ku Gideon: “Okutjavi tji u he tu isanene, indu tji wa rwisa Ovamidian? We tu tjitira tjike nai?” Nowo ve mu posisa tjinene.
2 Nungwari eye wa zira nai ku wo: “Nambano ami mba tjita tjike tji mamu sasaneke imbi ovyandje na imbi mbi mwa tjita? Nangarire imbi oviṱiṱi eṋe Ovaefraim mbi mwa tjita ovyo ovinanḓengu tjinene pu imbi onganda yandje aihe mbi ya tjita. 3 Ndjambi wa yandja ozombara zOvamidian, ooOreb na Seeb, momake weṋu. Ami mba tjita tjike tji mamu sasaneke imbi ovyandje na imbi mbi mwa tjita?” Eye tja za nokuhungira omambo nga omapindi wawo otji ya wa pehi.
4 Gideon wa vaza konḓonḓu Jordan ne i kondo puna ovarumendu ve omasere yetatu, ava urwa nava ṱondjara. 5 Neye otja tja kovature va Sukot: “Arikaneye, yandjeye ozomboroto ozombomba tjiva kovarumendu mba mbu mave ndji kongorere, tjinga ava urwa tjinene, nami ame tezere Seba na Salmuna, ozombara zOvamidian.”
6 Nungwari imba ovanane va Sukot va pura ave tja: “Matu yandjere tjike ozomboroto kotjimbumba tjoye tjovita, ngunda au hiya kambura Seba na Salmuna?”
7 Gideon opa tjera nai: “Osemba, Muhona tje ndji pe ooSeba na Salmuna meke randje, ami me mu tono nomakuiya wokuti onguza.” 8 Okuzambo eye wa ya kOpenuel na kaningira otjiṋa tjingetjo kovature vatjo; nungwari ovature va Penuel ve mu zira otja imba ova Sukot. 9 Eye wina opa hungirira kovature va Penuel a tja: “Ami tji mba kotoka nondoṋeno me teya oruhungu rweṋu.”
10 Seba na Salmuna va ri puna ovimbumba vyawo vyovita mOkarkor. Imba mba hupa kovimbumba avihe vyomihoko vyokomuhuka va ri ovarumendu mangara omayovi omurongo na yetano; nungwari imba mba ṱa va ri omayovi esere rimwe nomirongo vivari, avehe ovarwe wovita. 11 Nu Gideon wa ya nondjira yomokuti onguza kuṱa komuhuka wa Nobak na Jogboha, na karwisa otjimbumba tjovita ngunda atji hiya tjiza. 12 Nozombara nḓa mbari zOvamidian otji za taura, nungwari eye we ze tezera ne kezekambura. Neye wa piza otjimbumba atjihe tjovita.
13 Nu Gideon, omuzandu wa Joas, wa kotoka okuza komarwiro nondjira yomakapitiro wondundu Heres. 14 Neye wa kambura omuzandu omutanda wovature va Sukot ne mu pura okukonḓonona; nu ingwi we mu tjangera omana wovahona nowovanane va Sukot, ovandu omirongo hambombari na hambombari. 15 Gideon tje ya povandu va Sukot wa tja: “Seba na Salmuna owo mba, mbuyamu ndji nyekerere amamu tja: ‘Matu yandjere tjike ozomboroto kotjimbumba tjoye tjovita ngunda au hiya kambura ooSeba na Salmuna?’ ” 16 Tjazumba eye otja kambura ovanane votjihuro Sukot na toora omakuiya wokuti onguza, narire tje ve tono na wo. 17 Nu indwi oruhungu rwa Penuel wa nakaurira pehi, narire tja zepa ovature votjihuro.
18 Neye wa pura ooSeba na Salmuna a tja: “Ovarumendu mbu mwa zepera kOtabor va sanene pi?” Nowo ve mu zira nai: “Owo va ri tjimuna ove; auhe wa ri nombunikiro yomuzandu wombara.”
19 Gideon opa tjera nai: “Owo va ri omarumbi wandje, ovazandu mba za mu mama. Tjiri, tjimbe tja Muhona omunamuinyo, andakuzu eṋe mwe ve hupisa hetje mu zepa.” 20 Nu Gideon wa rakiza nai ku Jeter, otjiveri tje: “Sekama u ve zepe!” Nungwari ingwi omuzandu ka nanene engaruvyo re, orondu aa tira, tjinga a ri omuṱiṱi.
21 Seba na Salmuna arire tji va tja ku Gideon: “Sekama u tu zepe omuini, orondu omurumendu otja tjinga e ri, omasa we otjinga aye ri wina.” Gideon otja sekama na zepa Seba na Salmuna na kambura ousanekero womueze mbwa ri mozosengo zozongamero zawo.
22 Tjazumba Ovaisrael va tja nai ku Gideon: “Tu honaparera, ove omuini nozondekurona zoye, orondu ove we tu kutura kOvamidian.”
23 Nungwari Gideon wa zira a tja: “Ami hi nokuvanga okurira omuhona weṋu, nomuzandu wandje wina ke nakuhonaparera eṋe. Muhona ongu ma rire omuhona weṋu.” 24 Gideon wa hungira komurungu a tja nai: “Ami me vanga okuningira otjiṋa tjimwe ku eṋe. Auhe weṋu nge ndji pe ongoho movihuurwa vye.” Ovamidian aave zara ozongoho zongoldo tjimuna Ovaismael mbaa ve tura mokuti onguza.
25 Ovaisrael va zira nai: “Eṱe matu vanga okukupa nomutima auhe.” Nowo va yara ongwava, nu auhe wa yumba po ongoho yovihuurwa vye. 26 Indji ondjinda yozongoho zongoldo nḓa ningira ya ri nozokirograma mangara omirongo vivari. Ondjinda ndji kai sanekerwe kumwe na indji yousanekero womueze, noyozongoho zomomatwi, noyozombanda ozoserarovazu nḓaa ze kara nozombara za Midian, na wina kai sanekerwe pamwe nondjinda ndji yozongoho zomozosengo zozongamero zawo. 27 Nu poviṋa mbi avihe Gideon wa ungura po otjiserekarera tjotjisenginina, ne tji ziki motjihuro Ofra. NOvaisrael avehe va isa Ndjambi nave kakarera otjisenginina hi. Notjo tja rira ombate ku Gideon neṱunḓu re.
28 Ovamidian va ṋiṋikiziwa i Ovaisrael nga tji ve ha yenenene okurwisa Ovaisrael rukwao. Nehi ra kara nohange oure wozombura omirongo vine, Gideon ngunda e nomuinyo.

29 Okuzambo Jerubbaal, okutja oGideon, omuzandu wa Joas, wa katura monganda ye omuini. 30 Gideon wa ri novazandu omirongo hambombari, tjinga a ri novakazendu ovengi. 31 Nu momukazendu we omumbanda ngwa turire mOsikem wa muna mo omuzandu ngwa rukirwe Abimelek. 32 Nu Gideon, omuzandu wa Joas, wa koka a kurupa tjinene, na pakwa meyendo ra ihe Joas mOofra, tji tji ri omaturiro wOvaabiesri.
33 Kombunda yonḓiro ya Gideon Ovaisrael va karera ovisenginina rukwao puna ooBaal nave tjiti Baal-Beret okurira omukuru wawo wotjisenginina. 34 Ovaisrael kaave zemburuka Muhona rukwao, Ndjambi wawo, ngwe ve yama kovanavita na wo avehe kominda nominda. 35 Nowo kaave raisa ouwa keṱunḓu ra Gideon nangarire kutja eye wa tjitira Ovaisrael oviṋa avihe oviwa.
Okusindwa kwahugunina kwAamidiana
1 Nena Aaefraim oya lombwele Gideon ya ti: “Oshike inoo tu lombwela, sho wa ka homona Aamidiana? Omolwashike we tu ningile ngeyi?” Oye shi tamaneke noonkondo.
2 Ihe Gideon okwa ti: “Shoka nda li te vulu okuninga, kashi shi sha nokuyelekwa naashoka mwe shi ningi. Nokuli oshishona shoka mwe shi ningi, oshi vule shoka ezimo lyandje alihe lye shi ningi. 3 Sho shene, okoonkondo dhaKalunga mwa dhipaga aawa yaali yAamidiana, Oreb naSeeb. Oshike nda ningi, shi tukule shino?” Sho a ti ngeyi, oya gololoka.
4 Gideon netanga lye lyaalumentu omathele gatatu oye ya komulonga Jordan noye gu taaguluka. Oya li ya loloka nayi, ihe oya landula ngaa aatondi yawo. 5 Sho ye ya kuSukkot, okwa lombwele aantu yomoshilando: “Peni wo aantu yandje iikwiila yimwe. Oya loloka, nangame onda landula Seba naZalmunna, aakwaniilwa yAamidiana.”
6 Ihe aakuluntu yaSukkot oya ti: “Omolwashike tu na okupa aakwiita yoye iikulya? Ndishi inamu kwata natango Seba naZalmunna.”
7 Gideon okwa ti: “Eewa ano! Omuwa ngele okwa gandja Seba naZalmunna miikaha yandje, nena otii ke mu takula nomano nomapokolo gokombuga!” 8 Gideon okwa yi kuPenuel nokwe ya hehela ngaashi puSukkot, ihe aantu mbaka oya yamukula ngaashi Aasukkot. 9 Okwa ti kuyo: “Ote yi, ihe otii ka galuka ondjolowele nonda ndjanga, nongele nda galuka, otii ka hanagula po epopilongulu lyeni.”
10 Seba naZalmunna oya li puKarkor pamwe netangakwiita lyawo. Maakwiita ayehe yomazimo gokombuga omwa li mwa hupu ashike 15 000; aakwiita 120 000 oya dhipagwa. 11 Gideon okwa yi nondjila yokooha dhombuga kuuzilo waNobak naJogbeha e ta koloka ta matukile etangakwiita. 12 Aakwaniilwa mbeyaka yaali yAamidiana, Seba naZalmunna, oya yi ontuku, ihe okwe ya landula e te ya kwata e ta shoshomeke etanga lyawo alihe.
13 Gideon sho a li ta galuka kolugodhi ta piti metaulilo lyaHeres, 14 okwa kwata omumati Omusukkot e te mu pula. Omumati okwe mu nyolele omadhina gaakuluntu omilongo heyali yaSukkot. 15 Nena Gideon okwa yi kaantu yaSukkot nokwa ti: “Dhimbulukweni, nkene mwa tindile okukwatha ndje. Omwa tile, itamu pe aakwiita yandje ya loloka iikulya, oshoka onda li manga inaandi kwata Seba naZalmunna. Eewa, oyo mbaka nduno!” 16 Opo ihe okwa kutha omano nomapokolo gokombuga e ta takula nago aakuluntu yaSukkot. 17 Okwa hanagula po wo epopilongulu puPenuel nokudhipaga aalumentu yomoshilando shoka.
18 Nena Gideon okwa pula Seba naZalmunna: “Ongiini kombinga yaantu mbeya mwa dhipagele puTabor?” Oya yamukula: “Oye ku fa, shaa ngoka okwa fa munyembala.”
19 Gideon okwa ti: “Oya li aamwameme yomekoto, ndele ote gana naanaa kutya ando omwa li inaamu ya dhipaga, ando itandi mu dhipaga.” 20 Nena okwa lombwele osheeli she Jeter: “Ila, u ya dhipage!” Ihe omumati ina pweya mo nande egongamwele lye. Okwa li ta kakama, oshoka oye omputu natango.
21 Nena Seba naZalmunna oya ti kuGideon: “Ila, u tu dhipage ngoye mwene, oshoka ngoye omulumentu gwomatha.” Osho Gideon e ya dhipaga nokwa kutha po iiwengendje ya li moothingo dhoongamelo dhawo.
22 Konima yaambika Aaisraeli oya ti kuGideon: “Ninga omuleli gwetu — ongoye noluvalo lwoye. Owe tu yululula miikaha yAamidiana.”
23 Gideon okwa yamukula: “Itandi ningi nando omuleli gweni, nohamumwandje. Omuwa oye omuleli gweni.” 24 Ihe okwa tsikile ta ti: “Nandi mu pule oshinima shimwe. Shaa ngoka gwomune na pe ndje omagola ngoka a hakana.” (Aamidiana naambuga oya li haa zala omagola giingoli.)
25 Aantu oya yamukula: “Otatu nyanyukilwa oku ge ku pa.” Oya yala ekumbyatha pevi noshaa ngoka oku umbile po omagola ngoka a hakana. 26 Omagola giingoli ngoka Gideon a taamba, oge na uudhigu u thike konyala pookilograma omilongo mbali, inaamu yalulilwa omitsuhu nomakwilika noonguwo oombwilili, ndhoka hadhi zalwa kaakwaniilwa yAamidiana, niiwengendje mbyoka ya li moothingo dhoongamelo dhawo. 27 Gideon okwe yi tungitha ondjatha ya nyeleketela e te yi tula moshilando shaandjawo Ofra. Aaisraeli oya gamuka ko kuKalunga kawo noye yi simaneke ya ningi oshikalunga shawo. Osha ningi epundukitho kuGideon noluvalo lwe.
28 Osho Aamidiana ya sindwa kAaisraeli nokapwa li we omahindo. Oshilongo osha li shi na ombili omimvo omilongo ne, sigo okeso lyaGideon.
Eso lyaGideon
29 Gideon okwa shuna kaandjawo noko a kala. 30 Okwa li e na oyana aamati omilongo heyali, oshoka okwa li a hokana ombanda. 31 Okwa li e na ohonda muShekem; noye mu valele okamati e te ka luku Abimelek. 32 Gideon yaJoas okwa si muukokele wa tya ko nokwa fumvikwa mombila yahe Joas puOfra, oshilando shezimo lyaAbieser.
33 Konima yeso lyaGideon oshigwana shaIsrael inashi dhiginina Kalunga; osha longele ooBaal. Oya ningi Baal-Berit oshimenka shawo 34 yo inaa tsikila we okulongela Omuwa Kalunga kawo, ngoka e ya mangulula miikaha yaatondi yawo ye ya kunduka. 35 Inaa sila ohenda egumbo lyaGideon moluuwanawa mboka e u ningile Israel.
