1 B ut the Israelites did evil in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord gave them into the hand of Midian for seven years.

Oo reer binu Israa'iilna waxay sameeyeen wax Rabbiga hortiisa ku xun; markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu intii toddoba sannadood ah gacanta u geliyey reer Midyaan.

2 A nd the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel. Because of Midian the Israelites made themselves the dens which are in the mountains and the caves and the strongholds.

Oo gacantii Midyaanna waa ka adkaatay reer binu Israa'iil; markaasaa reer binu Israa'iil waxay reer Midyaan aawadood u samaysteen boholo buuraha ku yaal, iyo godad, iyo dhufaysyo xoog leh.

3 F or whenever Israel had sown their seed, the Midianites and the Amalekites and the people of the east came up against them.

Oo markii reer binu Israa'iil ay wax beeri jireen, waxaa iman jiray reer Midyaan iyo reer Camaaleq, iyo reer bariga, wayna ku kici jireen;

4 T hey would encamp against them and destroy the crops as far as Gaza and leave no nourishment for Israel, and no ox or sheep or donkey.

oo intay ag degaan ayay ka baabbi'in jireen wixii dhulka uga baxay, ilaa la soo gaadho Gaasa, oo reer binu Israa'iil ugama ay tegin wax la quuto, iyo ido, iyo dibi, iyo dameerro toona.

5 F or they came up with their cattle and their tents, and they came like locusts for multitude; both they and their camels could not be counted. So they wasted the land as they entered it.

Waayo, waxay la iman jireen xoolahooda iyo teendhooyinkooda, oo waxay u faro badnaayeen sida ayaxa oo kale. Iyaga iyo geeloodu midna tiro ma lahayn; oo waxay dalka u iman jireen inay baabbi'iyaan.

6 A nd Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites, and the Israelites cried to the Lord.

Oo reer Midyaan aawadood ayay reer binu Israa'iil aad iyo aad ugu caydhoobeen; markaasaa reer binu Israa'iil Rabbiga u qayshadeen.

7 A nd when they cried to the Lord because of Midian,

Oo markii reer binu Israa'iil Rabbiga ugu qayshadeen reer Midyaan aawadood

8 T he Lord sent a prophet to the Israelites, who said to them, Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, I brought you up from Egypt and brought you forth out of the house of bondage.

ayaa Rabbigu reer binu Israa'iil u soo diray nebi; oo wuxuu ku yidhi iyagii, Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil sidan buu leeyahay, Anaa idinka soo bixiyey dalkii Masar, oo waxaan idinka soo saaray gurigii addoonsiga;

9 A nd I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians and out of the hand of all who oppressed you, and drove them out from before you and gave you their land.

waanan idinka soo samatabbixiyey gacantii Masriyiinta, iyo gacantii kuwii idin dulmi jiray oo dhan, oo kulligood intaan hortiinna ka eryay ayaan dalkoodii idin siiyey;

10 A nd I said to you, I am the Lord your God; fear not the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But you have not obeyed My voice.

oo waxaan idinku idhi, Anigu waxaan ahay Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah, oo waa inaydnaan ka baqin ilaahyada reer Amor oo aad dalkooda deggan tihiin; laakiinse idinku ma aydnaan dhegaysan codkaygii.

11 N ow the Angel of the Lord came and sat under the oak (terebinth) at Ophrah, which belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, and his son Gideon was beating wheat in the winepress to hide it from the Midianites.

Markaasaa waxaa yimid malaggii Rabbiga, oo wuxuu hoos fadhiistay geedkii ku yiil Cofraah, oo uu lahaa Yoo'aash kii reer Abiiceser; oo wiilkiisii Gidcoon ahaa ayaa sarreen ku tumayay meeshii macsaradda inuu ka qariyo reer Midyaan.

12 A nd the Angel of the Lord appeared to him and said to him, The Lord is with you, you mighty man of courage.

Markaasaa malaggii Rabbigu u muuqday, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Rabbigu waa kula jiraa, nin yahow xoogga lahu.

13 A nd Gideon said to him, O sir, if the Lord is with us, why is all this befallen us? And where are all His wondrous works of which our fathers told us, saying, Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt? But now the Lord has forsaken us and given us into the hand of Midian.

Oo markaasaa Gidcoon malaggii ku yidhi, Sayidkaygiiyow, haddii Rabbigu nala jiro, de maxaa waxyaalahan oo dhammu noogu dhaceen? Oo meeye kulli shuqulladiisii yaabka lahaa oo ay awowayaashayo noo sheegeen, oo ay nagu yidhaahdeen, Miyaanu Rabbigu naga soo bixin dalkii Masar? Laakiinse haatan Rabbigu waa na xooray, oo wuxuu gacanta noo geliyey reer Midyaan.

14 T he Lord turned to him and said, Go in this your might, and you shall save Israel from the hand of Midian. Have I not sent you?

Markaasaa Rabbigu isagii eegay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Xooggaagan ku tag, oo reer binu Israa'iil ka badbaadi gacanta reer Midyaan. Sow kuma aanan dirin?

15 G ideon said to Him, Oh Lord, how can I deliver Israel? Behold, my clan is the poorest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house.

Markaasuu isna wuxuu ku yidhi, Sayidow, maxaan reer binu Israa'iil ku badbaadiyaa? Bal eeg, reerkaygu waa kan ugu liita reer Manaseh, oo anna waxaan ahay kan ugu yar reerka aabbahay.

16 T he Lord said to him, Surely I will be with you, and you shall smite the Midianites as one man.

Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu ku yidhi, Hubaal waan kula jirayaa, oo waxaad reer Midyaan u layn doontaa sida nin keliya.

17 G ideon said to Him, If now I have found favor in Your sight, then show me a sign that it is You Who talks with me.

Oo markaasuu wuxuu ku yidhi, Haddaba haddaad raalli iga tahay, de calaamo i tus inaad tahay kan ila hadlaya.

18 D o not leave here, I pray You, until I return to You and bring my offering and set it before You. And He said, I will wait until you return.

Waan ku baryayaaye, halkaas ha ka tegin ilaa aan kuu imaado, oo aan qurbaankayga kuu keeno, oo aan ku hor dhigo. Isagu wuxuu yidhi, Waan ku sugayaa ilaa aad soo noqotid.

19 T hen Gideon went in and prepared a kid and unleavened cakes of an ephah of flour. The meat he put in a basket and the broth in a pot, and brought them to Him under the oak and presented them.

Markaasaa Gidcoon gudaha galay, oo wuxuu diyaariyey orgi yar, iyo qiyaas eefaah bur ah oo uu ka sameeyey kibis aan khamiir lahayn. Hilibkii wuxuu ku riday dambiil, maraqiina dheri buu ku shubay, oo wuxuu ugu keenay oo ku siiyey geedkii hoostiisa.

20 A nd the Angel of God said to him, Take the meat and unleavened cakes and lay them on this rock and pour the broth over them. And he did so.

Markaasaa malaggii Ilaah wuxuu ku yidhi isagii, Hilibka iyo kibista aan khamiirka lahayn qaad, oo waxaad saartaa dhagaxan, oo maraqana ku qub. Oo isna sidaasuu yeelay.

21 T hen the Angel of the Lord reached out the tip of the staff that was in His hand, and touched the meat and the unleavened cakes, and there flared up fire from the rock and consumed the meat and the unleavened cakes. Then the Angel of the Lord vanished from his sight.

Markaasaa malaggii Rabbigu wuxuu soo taagay ushii gacantiisa ku jirtay dabadeedii, oo wuxuu ku taabtay hilibkii iyo kibistii aan khamiirka lahayn, markaasaa dab ka soo baxay dhagaxii, oo wuxuu laastay hilibkii iyo kibistii aan khamiirka lahayn; oo markaasaa malaggii Rabbigu ka libdhay araggiisii.

22 A nd when Gideon perceived that He was the Angel of the Lord, Gideon said, Alas, O Lord God! For now I have seen the Angel of the Lord face to face!

Markaasaa Gidcoon arkay inuu yahay malaggii Rabbiga, oo Gidcoon wuxuu yidhi, Waa ii hoog, Sayidow, Rabbiyow, waayo, malaggii Rabbiga ayaan fool ka fool u arkay.

23 T he Lord said to him, Peace be to you, do not fear; you shall not die.

Kolkaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu ku yidhi isagii, Nabad ahow, oo ha cabsan, adigu dhiman mayside.

24 T hen Gideon built an altar there to the Lord and called it, The Lord is Peace. To this day it still stands in Ophrah, which belongs to the Abiezrites.

Markaasaa Gidcoon halkaas wuxuu Rabbiga uga dhisay meel allabari, oo wuxuu magaceedii u bixiyey Rabbigu waa nabad, oo taasu xataa maantadan la joogo waxay ku taal Cofraah tii reer Abiiceser.

25 T hat night the Lord said to Gideon, Take your father’s bull, the second bull seven years old, and pull down the altar of Baal that your father has and cut down the Asherah that is beside it;

Oo isla habeenkaas ayaa Rabbigu ku yidhi isagii, Kaxayso dibiga aabbahaa, kaasoo ah dibiga labaad oo toddoba jirka ah, oo waxaad dumisaa meeshaa allabariga loogu bixiyo Bacal oo aabbahaa haysto, oo geedaha Asheeraah ku ag yaalna jar;

26 A nd build an altar to the Lord your God on top of this stronghold with stones laid in proper order. Then take the second bull and offer a burnt sacrifice with the wood of the Asherah which you shall cut down.

oo Rabbiga Ilaahaaga ah meel allabari uga dul dhis dhufayskan, oo hagaaji, oo kexee dibiga labaad, oo geedihii Asheeraah oo aad gooysay qoryihiisa ku bixi allabari la gubo.

27 T hen Gideon took ten men of his servants and did as the Lord had told him, but because he was too afraid of his father’s household and the men of the city to do it by day, he did it by night.

Markaasaa Gidcoon wuxuu soo kaxaystay toban nin oo addoommadiisii ahaa, oo wuxuu sameeyey wixii Rabbigu u sheegay, oo shuqulkii habeennimuu sameeyey, maxaa yeelay, wuxuu ka cabsanayay reerkii aabbihiis iyo dadkii magaalada, oo taas darteed maalinnimo ma uu samayn karin.

28 A nd when the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was cast down, and the Asherah was cut down that was beside it, and the second bull was offered on the altar which had been built.

Oo dadkii magaaladu markay aroor hore soo tooseen ayay arkeen in meeshii allabariga Bacal loogu bixin jiray ay dunsan tahay iyo in geedihii Asheeraah oo agteeda ku yiil ay salka ka go'an yihiin, iyo in dibigii labaad lagu dul bixiyey meeshii allabariga oo loo dhisay.

29 A nd they said to one another, Who has done this thing? And when they searched and asked, they were told, Gideon son of Joash has done this thing.

Markaasaa midkoodba wuxuu kii kale ku yidhi, Yaa waxakan sameeyey? Oo markay haybiyeen oo dadkii weyddiiyeen ayaa la yidhi, Waxakan waxaa sameeyey Gidcoon ina Yoo'aash.

30 T hen the men of the city commanded Joash, Bring out your son, that he may die, for he has pulled down the altar of Baal and cut down the Asherah beside it.

Markaasaa dadkii magaaladu waxay Yoo'aash ku yidhaahdeen, Soo bixi wiilkaaga aan dilnee, waayo, wuxuu dumiyey meeshii allabariga Bacal loogu bixin jiray, oo geedihii Asheeraah oo ku ag yiilna salkuu ka gooyay.

31 B ut Joash said to all who stood against him, Will you contend for Baal? Or will you save him? He who will contend for Baal, let him be put to death while it is still morning. If Baal is a god, let him contend for himself because one has pulled down his altar.

Markaasaa Yoo'aash wuxuu ku yidhi dadkii ku kacay oo dhan, Ma idinkaa u dagaallamaya Bacal? Oo ma isagaad badbaadinaysaan? Kii u dagaallama ha la dilo subaxda, waayo, hadduu isagu ilaah yahay, de ha isu dagaallamo, maxaa yeelay, waxaa laga jebiyey meeshiisii allabariga.

32 T herefore on that day he called Gideon Jerubbaal, meaning, Let Baal contend against him, because he had pulled down his altar.

Sidaas daraaddeed wuxuu maalintaas Gidcoon u bixiyey Yerubbacal, oo wuxuu yidhi, Bacal ha la dagaallamo isaga, maxaa yeelay, wuxuu ka dumiyey meeshiisii allabariga.

33 T hen all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the people of the east came together and, crossing the Jordan, encamped in the Valley of Jezreel.

Markaasaa waxaa is-urursaday reer Midyaan, iyo reer Camaaleq, iyo reer barigii oo dhan, oo intay Webi Urdun ka gudbeen ayay dooxadii Yesreceel degeen.

34 B ut the Spirit of the Lord clothed Gideon with Himself and took possession of him, and he blew a trumpet, and Abiezer was gathered to him.

Laakiinse Ruuxii Rabbigu wuxuu ku soo degay Gidcoon, markaasuu buun ku dhuftay, oo waxaa ku soo ururay reer Abiiceser.

35 A nd he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh, and the Manassites were called to follow him; and he sent messengers to Asher, to Zebulun, and to Naphtali, and they came up to meet them.

Oo wuxuu wargeeyayaal u diray reer Manaseh oo dhan, oo iyana markaasay ku soo urureen; oo haddana wuxuu wargeeyayaal u diray reer Aasheer, iyo reer Sebulun, iyo reer Naftaali, oo iyana way u yimaadeen inay la kulmaan iyagii.

36 A nd Gideon said to God, If You will deliver Israel by my hand as You have said,

Markaasaa Gidcoon wuxuu Ilaah ku yidhi, Sidaad ii sheegtay, haddaad reer binu Israa'iil gacantayda ku badbaadinaysid,

37 B ehold, I will put a fleece of wool on the threshing floor. If there is dew on the fleece only and it is dry on all the ground, then I shall know that You will deliver Israel by my hand, as You have said.

bal eeg, meesha sarreenka lagu tumo ayaan dhigayaa dhogor idaad, haddaba haddii dharab qoyo dhogorta keliya oo dhulka kale oo dhammuna uu engegnaado, markaasaan ogaanayaa inaad gacantayda ku badbaadinaysid reer binu Israa'iil, sidaad ku hadashay.

38 A nd it was so. When he rose early next morning and squeezed the dew out of the fleece, he wrung from it a bowlful of water.

Oo sidii bay noqotay, waayo, markuu toosay subaxdii dambe, oo tuujiyey dhogorta, wuxuu ka maroojiyey koob muuggiis oo biyo ah.

39 A nd Gideon said to God, Let not your anger be kindled against me, and I will speak but this once. Let me make trial only this once with the fleece, I pray you; let it now be dry only upon the fleece and upon all the ground let there be dew.

Markaasaa Gidcoon wuxuu Ilaah ku yidhi, Cadhadaadu yaanay igu kululaan oo markan keliya ayaan hadlayaa. Markan keliya aan dhogorta wax ku hubsado, waan ku baryayaaye. Bal markan dhogorta keliya engeg ha noqoto, laakiinse dhulka kale oo dhammu dharab ha lahaado.

40 A nd God did so that night, for it was dry on the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.

Oo Ilaahna sidii buu yeelay habeenkaas; waayo, waxaa engegnaa dhogortii keliya, oo dhulka kale oo dhammuna dharab buu lahaa.
