13Gidheoni, mwanakomana waJoashi, akadzoka pakurwa pamukwidza weHeresi. 14Akabata jaya ravarume veSukoti, akamubvunzisisa; iye akamunyorera mazita amachinda eSukoti, navakuru varo, varume vana makumi manomwe navanomwe. 15Akasvika kuvarume veSukoti, akati, “Tarirai, Zebha naZarimuna, vamakandiseka pamusoro pavo, muchiti, ‘Ko Zebha naZarimuna vatokundwa newe here, zvowoti, tipe varume vako vaneta chingwa?’ ” 16Ipapo akatora vakuru veguta, neminzwa yomurenje norukato, akapura varume veSukoti nazvo. 17Akaputsa rusvingo rwePenueri, akauraya varume veguta.
18Ipapo akati kuna Zebha naZarimuna, “Varume vamakauraya paTabhori vakanga vakadiniko?” Vakapindura, vakati, “Sezvamakaita imi, ndizvo zvavakanga vakaita ivo; mumwe nomumwe wakanga akafanana nomwana wamambo.”
19Akati, “Vakanga vari vanunguna vangu, vanakomana vamai vangu; naJehovha mupenyu, dai makavarega vari vapenyu, ndingadai ndisina kukuurayai imi.” 20Zvino akati kuna Jeteri, dangwe rake, “Simuka, uvauraye.” Asi jaya harina kuvhomora munondo waro, nokuti rakatya, zvarakanga richiri mukomana.
21Ipapo Zebha naZarimuna vakati, “Simukai imi, mutiuraye, nokuti sezvakaita murume, ndizvo zvakaita simba rake.” Ipapo Gidheoni akasimuka, akauraya Zebha naZarimuna, akatora zvishongo zvakanga zvakafanana nomwedzi, zvakanga zviri pamitsipa yamakamera avo. 22Zvino varume vaIsiraeri vakati kuna Gidheoni, “Mutibate ushe imi nomwanakomana wenyu, nomwanakomana womwanakomana wenyuwo, nokuti makatiponesa pamaoko avaMidhiani.” 23Gidheoni akati kwavari, “Ini handingakubatiyi ushe, kunyange mwanakomana wangu haangakubatiyi ushe; Jehovha ndiye uchakubatai.” 24Gidheoni akati kwavari, “Ndinoda kukumbira chinhu chimwe kwamuri: Mumwe nomumwe wenyu ngaandipe zvindori zvemhino zviri pakati pezvakapambwa zvake.” (Nokuti vakanga vane zvindori zvemhino zvendarama, nokuti vakanga vari vaIshimaeri.)
25Vakapindura vakati, “Tichakupai izvo nomwoyo wose!” Ipapo vakawarira nguo, mumwe nomumwe akakandirapo zvindori zvemhino, zvakanga zviri pakati pezvakapambwa zvavo. 26Zvindori izvo zvemhino zvendarama, zvaakakumbira kwavari, pakurema kwazvo zvikasvika mashekeri ane chiuru chimwe namazana manomwe endarama; asi havana kuverenga zvishongo zvakanga zvakafanana nomwedzi, nezvindori zvaishongwa, nenguo shava dzaifukwa namadzimambo aMidhiani; havana kuverengawo uketani hwakanga hwuri pamitsipa yamakamera avo. 27Gidheoni akaita efodhi nazvo, akaiisa muguta rake, ipo paOfura; vaIsiraeri vose vakapata vachiitevera ipapo; ukava musungo kuna Gidheoni nokuna veimba yake.
28Saizvozvo vaMidhiani vakakundwa pamberi pavana vaIsiraeri, havana kuzosimudzazve misoro yavo. Nyika ikazorora makore ana makumi mana pamazuva aGidheoni.
29Zvino Jerubhaari, mwanakomana waJoashi, akandogara mumba make. 30Gidheoni wakanga ana vanakomana vana makumi manomwe vakanga vaberekwa naye, nokuti wakanga ana vakadzi vazhinji; 31uye nomurongo wake, wakanga ari paShemi, wakamuberekera mwanakomana, akamutumidza zita rinonzi Abhimereki. 32Gidheoni, mwanakomana waJoashi, akafa akwegura, akavigwa mubwiro hwaJoashi baba vake paOfura ravaAbhiezeri.
