1 T hen the sons of Israel did what was evil in the sight of the Lord; and the Lord gave them into the hands of Midian 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 T he power of Midian prevailed against Israel. Because of Midian the sons of Israel made for themselves the dens which were 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 it was when Israel had sown, that the Midianites would come up with the Amalekites and the sons of the east and go 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 S o they would camp against them and destroy the produce of the earth as far as Gaza, and leave no sustenance in Israel as well as no sheep, ox, 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 would come up with their livestock and their tents, they would come in like locusts for number, both they and their camels were innumerable; and they came into the land to devastate 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 S o Israel was brought very low because of Midian, and the sons of Israel 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 N ow it came about when the sons of Israel cried to the Lord on account of Midian,

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

8 t hat the Lord sent a prophet to the sons of Israel, and he said to them, “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘It was I who brought you up from Egypt and brought you out from the house of slavery.

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 I delivered you from the hands of the Egyptians and from the hands of all your oppressors, and dispossessed them 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; you shall not fear the gods of the Amorites in whose land you live. But you have not obeyed Me.”’” Gideon Is Visited

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 T hen the angel of the Lord came and sat under the oak that was in Ophrah, which belonged to Joash the Abiezrite as his son Gideon was beating out wheat in the wine press in order to save 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 T he angel of the Lord appeared to him and said to him, “The Lord is with you, O valiant warrior.”

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

13 T hen Gideon said to him, “O my lord, if the Lord is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where are all His miracles which our fathers told us about, saying, ‘Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt?’ But now the Lord has abandoned 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 looked at him and said, “ Go in this your strength and deliver 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 H e said to Him, “O Lord, how shall I deliver Israel? Behold, my family is the least in Manasseh, and I am the youngest 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 B ut the Lord said to him, “Surely I will be with you, and you shall defeat Midian as one man.”

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

17 S o Gideon said to Him, “If now I have found favor in Your sight, then show me a sign that it is You who speak with me.

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

18 P lease do not depart from here, until I come back to You, and bring out my offering and lay it before You.” And He said, “I will remain 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 young goat and unleavened bread from an ephah of flour; he put the meat in a basket and the broth in a pot, and brought them out 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 T he angel of God said to him, “Take the meat and the unleavened bread and lay them on this rock, and pour out the broth.” 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 put out the end of the staff that was in his hand and touched the meat and the unleavened bread; and fire sprang up from the rock and consumed the meat and the unleavened bread. 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 W hen Gideon saw that he was the angel of the Lord, he 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 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 named it The Lord is Peace. To this day it is still in Ophrah of 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 N ow on the same night the Lord said to him, “Take your father’s bull and a second bull seven years old, and pull down the altar of Baal which belongs to your father, 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 the top of this stronghold in an orderly manner, and take a second bull and offer a burnt offering 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 spoken to him; and 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. The Altar of Baal Destroyed

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 W hen the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was torn down, and the Asherah which was beside it was cut down, 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 T hey said to one another, “Who did this thing?” And when they searched about and inquired, they said, “Gideon the son of Joash did 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 said to Joash, “Bring out your son, that he may die, for he has torn down the altar of Baal, and indeed, he has cut down the Asherah which was 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 deliver him? Whoever will plead for him shall be put to death by morning. If he is a god, let him contend for himself, because someone has torn 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 named him Jerubbaal, that is to say, “Let Baal contend against him,” because he had torn 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 sons of the east assembled themselves; and they crossed over and camped 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 S o the Spirit of the Lord came upon Gideon; and he blew a trumpet, and the Abiezrites were called together to follow him.

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

35 H e sent messengers throughout Manasseh, and they also were called together to follow him; and he sent messengers to Asher, Zebulun, and Naphtali, and they came up to meet them. Sign of the Fleece

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 T hen Gideon said to God, “ If You will deliver Israel through me, as You have spoken,

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 will know that You will deliver Israel through me, as You have spoken.”

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 arose early the next morning and squeezed the fleece, he drained the dew from the fleece, a bowl full of water.

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

39 T hen Gideon said to God, “ Do not let Your anger burn against me that I may speak once more; please let me make a test once more with the fleece, let it now be dry only on the fleece, and let there be dew on all the ground.”

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 G od did so that night; for it was dry only on the fleece, and dew was on all the ground.

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