Judges 8

Ary hoy ny lehilahy amin'ny Efraima tamin'i Gideona: Ahoana izao zavatra nataonao taminay izao, no tsy nantsoinao izahay, raha nandeha hiady tamin'ny Midiana ianao? Dia nanome tsiny azy mafy ireo.

And the men of Ephraim said unto him, Why hast thou served us thus, that thou calledst us not, when thou wentest to fight with the Midianites? And they did chide with him sharply.

Fa hoy Gideona taminy: Zinona izao nataoko izao. raha oharina amin'izay nataonareo? Tsy tsara va ny fitsimponam-boalobok'i Efraima noho ny fiotazam-boalobok'i Abiezera?

And he said unto them, What have I done now in comparison of you? Is not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abi–ezer?

Teo an-tananareo no nanoloran'Andriamanitra ny andrianan'ny Midiana, dia Oreba sy Zeba; ary inona no azoko atao, raha oharina amin'ny nataonareo? Ary rehefa nilaza izany teny izany Gideona, dia nitony ny fahatezeran'ireo taminy.

God hath delivered into your hands the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb: and what was I able to do in comparison of you? Then their anger was abated toward him, when he had said that.

Ary Gideona nankany Jordana, ka nita izy sy ny telon-jato lahy teo aminy, na dia efa reraka aza, mbola nanenjika ihany.

And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them.

Ary hoy izy tamin'ny mponina tao Sokota: Masìna ianareo, mba omeo mofo ny olona manaraka ahy, fa reraka izy, ary izaho manenjika an'i Zebaha sy Zalmona, mpanjakan'ny Midiana.

And he said unto the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves of bread unto the people that follow me; for they be faint, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian.

Fa hoy ireo andrianan'i Sokota: Moa efa voahazon'ny tananao ankehitriny va ny tànan'i Zebaha sy Zalmona, no homenay mofo ny miaramilamao?

And the princes of Succoth said, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we should give bread unto thine army?

Dia hoy Gideona: Rehefa voatolotr'i Jehovah eo an-tanako Zehaba sy Zalmona, dia handalasiko amin'ny tsilo avy any an-efitra sy ny sampivato ny tenanareo.

And Gideon said, Therefore when the LORD hath delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into mine hand, then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.

Ary niakatra avy teo izy ka nankany Penoela, dia nanao teny tahaka izany koa tamin'ny olona tao; ary ny mponina tao Penoela koa dia namaly azy tahaka ny navalin'ny mponina tao Sokota ihany.

And he went up thence to Penuel, and spake unto them likewise: and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered him.

Dia niteny tamin'ny mponina tao Penoela izy ka nanao hoe: Raha tafaverina soa aman-tsara aho, dia horavako ity tilikambo ity.

And he spake also unto the men of Penuel, saying, When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower.

Ary Zebaha sy Zalmona dia tonga tao Karkora mbamin'ny miaramila teo aminy tokony ho dimy arivo sy iray alin-dahy, dia izay sisa rehetra tamin'ny miaramila rehetra an'ny zanaky ny atsinanana; ary ny maty kosa dia roa alina sy iray hetsy, samy lehilahy mpitan-tsabatra avokoa ireo.

Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and their hosts with them, about fifteen thousand men, all that were left of all the hosts of the children of the east: for there fell an hundred and twenty thousand men that drew sword.

Ary Gideona niakatra tamin'ny lalan'ny mpitoetra an-day, atsinanan'i Noha sy Jogbeha, ka dia namely ny toby, raha mbola ilay tsy nanampo iny ny olona.

And Gideon went up by the way of them that dwelt in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and smote the host: for the host was secure.

Dia nandositra Zebaha sy Zalmona, ary nanenjika azy ny Isiraely ka nisambotra ny mpanjaka roa tamin'ny Midiana, dia Zebaha sy Zalmona, fa efa nampihorohoroiny avokoa ny toby rehetra.

And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled, he pursued after them, and took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and discomfited all the host.

Dia niverina avy tamin'ny ady Gideona, zanak'i Joasy, avy teo amin'ny fiakarana Heresa;

And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle before the sun was up,

ary nisambotra zatovo tamin'ny mponina tao Sokota izy ka nanontany azy; dia nosoratan'ilay zatovo ny anaran'ireo andrianan'i Sokota sy ny loholona tao, ka fito amby fito-polo lahy izy.

And caught a young man of the men of Succoth, and enquired of him: and he described unto him the princes of Succoth, and the elders thereof, even threescore and seventeen men.

Ary Gideona dia nankany amin'ny mponina tao Sokota ka nanao hoe: Indreo Zebaha sy Zalmona, izay efa nandatsanareo ahy hoe: Moa efa voahazon'ny tananao ankehitriny va ny tànan'i Zebaha sy Zalmona, no homenay mofo ny olonao efa reraka?

And he came unto the men of Succoth, and said, Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, with whom ye did upbraid me, saying, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we should give bread unto thy men that are weary?

Dia naka ny loholona tao an-tanàna izy ary tsilo avy tany an-efitra sy sampivato, ka ireny no namaizany ny mponina tao Sokota.

And he took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness and briers, and with them he taught the men of Succoth.

Ary nandrava ny tilikambo tao Penoela koa izy ka namono ny lehilahy tao an-tanàna.

And he beat down the tower of Penuel, and slew the men of the city.

Dia hoy izy tamin'i Zebaha sy Zalmona: Lehilahy toy inona ange izay novonoinareo tany Tabara? Ary hoy izy roa lahy: Tahaka anao ihany izy. Nitarehin-janak'andriana avokoa izy rehetra.

Then said he unto Zebah and Zalmunna, What manner of men were they whom ye slew at Tabor? And they answered, As thou art, so were they; each one resembled the children of a king.

Ary hoy izy: Rahalahiko, zanaky ny reniko ireo. Raha velona koa Jehovah, dia tsy mba hovonoiko ianareo, raha novelominareo ireo.

And he said, They were my brethren, even the sons of my mother: as the LORD liveth, if ye had saved them alive, I would not slay you.

Ary hoy izy tamin'i Jatera lahimatoany: Mitsangàna, ka vonoy izy roa lahy. Fa ilay zatovo tsy nanatsoaka ny sabany, fa natahotra, satria mbola tanora fanahy izy.

And he said unto Jether his firstborn, Up, and slay them. But the youth drew not his sword: for he feared, because he was yet a youth.

Ary hoy Zebaha sy Zalmona: Aoka ianao no hitsangana hamely anay; fa araka ny toetry ny olona ihany ny heriny. Dia nitsangana Gideona ka namono an'i Zebaha sy Zalmona ary naka ny ravaka sarim-bolan-tsinana, izay teo amin'ny vozon'ny ramevany.

Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, Rise thou, and fall upon us: for as the man is, so is his strength. And Gideon arose, and slew Zebah and Zalmunna, and took away the ornaments that were on their camels' necks.

Dia hoy ny lehilahy amin'ny Isiraely tamin'i Gideona: Manapaha anay ianao sy ny zanakao ary ny zafinao; fa efa namonjy anay tamin'ny tanan'ny Midiana ianao.

Then the men of Israel said unto Gideon, Rule thou over us, both thou, and thy son, and thy son's son also: for thou hast delivered us from the hand of Midian.

Fa hoy Gideona taminy: Tsy hanapaka anareo aho, ary tsy hanapaka anareo koa ny zanako; Jehovah ihany no hanapaka anareo.

And Gideon said unto them, I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you: the LORD shall rule over you.

Ary hoy koa Gideona taminy: Zavatra iray loha monja no hany mba angatahiko aminareo; aoka samy hanome ahy ny kavina izay avy amin'ny babony avy ianareo (fa nanana kavim-bolamena ireny, satria Isimaelita).

And Gideon said unto them, I would desire a request of you, that ye would give me every man the earrings of his prey. (For they had golden earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.)

Dia hoy kosa ny olona: Eny, fa homenay tokoa izany. Dia namelatra lamba ny olona, ka samy nanipy ny kavina izay avy tamin'ny babony teo.

And they answered, We will willingly give them. And they spread a garment, and did cast therein every man the earrings of his prey.

Ary ny lanjan'ny kavim-bolamena nangatahiny dia sekely volamena fiton-jato amby arivo, afa-tsy ny ravaka sarim-bolan-tsinana sy ny kavina voavola sy ny lamba volomparasy, izay teny amin'ireo mpanjakan'ny Midiana, ary ny rojo, izay teny amin'ny vozon'ny ramevany.

And the weight of the golden earrings that he requested was a thousand and seven hundred shekels of gold; beside ornaments, and collars, and purple raiment that was on the kings of Midian, and beside the chains that were about their camels' necks.

Dia nataon'i Gideona efoda ireo, ka nataony tao an-tanànany, dia tao Ofra; ary ny Isiraely rehetra nankany nijangajanga nanaraka izany efoda izany; ary tonga fandrika tamin'i Gideona sy ny ankohonany izany.

And Gideon made an ephod thereof, and put it in his city, even in Ophrah: and all Israel went thither a whoring after it: which thing became a snare unto Gideon, and to his house.

Dia resy teo anoloan'ny Zanak'Isiraely ny Midiana ka tsy nahatraka ny lohany intsony. Dia nandry efa-polo taona ny tany tamin'ny andron'i Gideona.

Thus was Midian subdued before the children of Israel, so that they lifted up their heads no more. And the country was in quietness forty years in the days of Gideon.

Dia nandeha Jerobala, zanak'i Joasy, ka nitoetra tao an-tranony.

And Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and dwelt in his own house.

Ary Gideona nanan-janaka fito-polo lahy izay naterany: fa maro vady izy.

And Gideon had threescore and ten sons of his body begotten: for he had many wives.

Ary ny vaditsindranony, izay tany Sekema, dia niteraka zazalahy taminy koa, ka ny anarany nataony hoe Abimeleka.

And his concubine that was in Shechem, she also bare him a son, whose name he called Abimelech.

Dia maty Gideona. zanak'i Joasy, rehefa tratrantitra tsara, ka nalevina tao amin'ny fasan'i Joasy rainy tao Ofran'ny Abiezrita izy.

And Gideon the son of Joash died in a good old age, and was buried in the sepulchre of Joash his father, in Ophrah of the Abi–ezrites.

Ary rehefa maty Gideona, dia nijangajanga nanaraka ireo Bala indray ny Zanak'Isiraely ka nanao an'i Bala-berita ho andriamaniny.

And it came to pass, as soon as Gideon was dead, that the children of Israel turned again, and went a whoring after Baalim, and made Baal–berith their god.

Ary ny Zanak'Isiraely tsy nahatsiaro an'i Jehovah Andriamaniny, Izay efa namonjy azy tamin'ny tanan'ny fahavalony rehetra nanodidina,

And the children of Israel remembered not the LORD their God, who had delivered them out of the hands of all their enemies on every side:

sady tsy nanao soa tamin'ny taranak'i Jerobala (na Gideona), araka izay soa rehetra nataon'i Gideona tamin'ny Isiraely, izy.

Neither shewed they kindness to the house of Jerubbaal, namely, Gideon, according to all the goodness which he had shewed unto Israel.
