Yimizalwane yamadoda akwaEfrayim
1Athi amadoda akwaEfrayim kuye, Usikhonze, asikubizanga na oko wakuwaxabela amaMidiyan? Kwaye balwa naye kakhulu. 2Wathi kubo, Ndenze ntoni na ngangani? Intlahlela yeediliya zikaEfrayim ayilungile na, ngaphezu kokuvuna kweediliya zika-Abhiyezere? 3uThixo wabanikela abathetheli bakwaMidiyan, uOrebhe noShebhi, esandleni senu; ndenze ntoni na xa kuthelekiswa nawe? Wadamba umsindo wabo akuba etshilo. 4uGidiyon wafika eYordan, wayiwela, yena namadoda angamakhulu amathathu awayekunye naye, ediniwe, kodwa awasukela. 5Wathi kumadoda aseSukoti, Banikeni isonka aba bandilandelayo; kuba badiniwe, yaye ndisukela uShebha noTsalimuna, ookumkani bakwaMidiyan. 6Bathi abathetheli baseSukoti, Sesithabathe isandla sikaShebha neTsalimuna sesandleni sakho, ukuze sinike abathetheli bakho isonka? 7Wathi uGidiyon, Ukuba ke uNdikhoyo uthe wayinikela iShebha neTsalimuna esandleni sam, ndoyiqwenga inyama yenu ngemithana enameva yasentlango. 8Wenyuka khona wenyuka waya ePenuweli, wathetha kubo kwangokunjalo. Bamphendula abantu basePenuweli njengoko bamphendulayo abantu baseSukoti. 9Waphinda wathetha kumadoda asePenuweli, wathi, Ekubuyeni kwam ngoxolo, ndoyidiliza le nqaba ende. 10iSebha neTsalmuna zaziseKarkore nomkhosi wazo owawukunye nawo, amadoda amalunga neshumi elinesihlanu lamawaka, lawo onke awayesele kuwo onke amabhunga oonyana baseMpuma; kuba kwawa ikhulu elinamanci mabini amawaka amadoda arhola ikrele. 11uGidiyon wenyuka ngendlela yabemi beentente ngasempuma kweNobha naseYogebheha waza wawoyisa umkhosi, kuba umkhosi wawukhuselekile. 12Wabaleka uShebha noTsalimuna, wabasukela, wababamba ookumkani ababini bakwaMidiyan, uShebha noTsalimuna, waludubaduba lonke uhlanga. 13Wabuya uGidiyon unyana kaYowashe edabini, lingekaphumi ilanga; 14Wabamba umfana wamadoda aseSukoti, wacebisana naye; Wamcacisela abathetheli baseSukoti, namadoda amakhulu akhe, amadoda amashumi asixhenxe. 15Weza kumadoda aseSukoti, wathi, Sebha noSalemuna, ngabo enaniqalekisayo ngabo, nisithi, iSebha neSalemuna sele zisesandleni sakho na, ukuba siwanike amadoda lawo na? ngoobani abadinwe sisonka? 16Wawathabatha amadoda amakhulu aloo mzi, nemithana enameva, nenkunzane entlango, wawafundisa amadoda aseSukoti kunye nawo. 17Wayidiliza inqaba ende yasePenuweli, wababulala abantu baloo mzi. 18Wathi kuSebha noTsalimuna, Ngoobani na abantu enababulalayo eTabhore? Aphendula athi, Babenjengawe; wonke umntu wayekhangeleka njengabantwana benkosi. 19Wathi, Babengabazalwana bam abo, oonyana bakama; ehleli nje uYehova, ukuba benibasindisile, ngendinganibulalanga. 20Wathi kuYetere, amazibulo akhe, Vuka, ubabulale. Ke umfana akazange alirhole ikrele lakhe, kuba wayesoyika, kuba wayesengumfana. 21Bathi ooSebha noTsalimuna, Hlalani nisibulale, ngokuba njengoko anjalo umntu, bunjalo ubugorha bakhe. Wesuka ke uGidiyon wawabulala uShebha noTsalimuna, wazithabatha ezo zivatho zeentamo zeenkamela zabo. 22Athi amadoda akwaSirayeli kuGidiyon, Silawule, wena nonyana wakho, nonyana wonyana wakho, ngokuba usisindisile esandleni samaMidiyan. 23Wathi uGidiyon kuwo, Andiyi kunilawula mna; akayi kunilawula nonyana wam; uYehova uya kunilawula. 24Wathi uGidiyon kuwo, Ndicela nto-nye kuni; (ngokuba babenamajikazi egolide, kuba babengamaIshmayeli.) 25Baphendula bathi, Siya kubanika ngokuqhutywa yintliziyo. Kwaye bandlala ilaphu baza ngamnye waphosa amakhonkco exhoba lakhe. 26Ubunzima bamakhonkco egolide awabucelayo baba liwaka elinamakhulu asixhenxe eeshekele zegolide; ngaphandle kwezaa ntsimbi namacici, neengubo ezimfusa ezibe zikookumkani bamaMidiyan, nemixokelelwane esezintanyeni zeenkamela zabo. 27uGidiyon wenza ilaphu ngayo, wayibeka eOfra, idolophu yakowabo, aza ahenyuza khona onke amaSirayeli, yaza yaba ngumgibe kuGidiyon nakwindlu yakhe. 28Athotywa ke amaMidiyan phambi koonyana bakaSirayeli, akaphinda aziphakamise iintloko zawo. Lazola ilizwe iminyaka emashumi mane ngemihla kaGidiyon. 29uYerubhahali, unyana kaYowashe, waya wahlala endlwini yakhe. 30uGidiyon ubenoonyana abamashumi amathandathu besiza sakhe, ngokuba ebenabafazi abaninzi. 31Neshweshwe lakhe, elibe likwaShekem, lamzalela unyana nalo, elathi igama lakhe nguAbhimeleki. 32Wafa uGidiyon unyana kaYowashe, eyingwevu enkulu, wangcwatyelwa engcwabeni likaYowashe uyise, eOpra yama-Abhiyezere. 33Kwathi kamsinya nje akuba efile uGidiyon, oonyana bakaSirayeli bajika baza bakrexeza noBhahali baza benza uBhahali-bheriti uthixo wabo. 34Oonyana bakaSirayeli abamkhumbulanga uYehova uThixo wabo, owabakhululayo esandleni seentshaba zabo zonke ngeenxa zonke. 35Yaye abazange bayenzele inceba indlu kaYerubhahali, uGidiyon, ngako konke ukulunga awayekwenzele uSirayeli.
