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.
