Dlulisela

Ingelosi kaJehova yabonakala kuye, yathi: “UJehova unawe, qhawe elinamandla

UJehova wambheka, wathi: “Hamba ngalawa mandla akho, futhi uzokhulula u-Israyeli esandleni sakwaMidiyani.” Angikuthumanga yini?

UJehova wasesithi kuye: Isibili ngizakuba lawe, njalo uzatshaya amaMidiyani njengomuntu munye.

UGideyoni wathi kuye: “Awu, Nkosi yami, uma uJehova enathi, kungani konke lokhu kusehlele na? ziphi zonke izibonakaliso zakhe okhokho bethu abasitshela ngazo, besithi: UJehova kasikhuphulanga yini eGibhithe? kepha manje uJehova usilahlile, wasinikela esandleni sakwaMidiyani.

Wathi kuye: “Awu, Nkosi yami, ngiyakumkhulula ngani u-Israyeli na?” bheka, umndeni wakithi umpofu kwaManase, mina ngingomncinyane endlini kababa.

Kwafika ingelosi kaJehova, yahlala phansi kwesihlahla somtholo esasise-Ofira, esingesikaJowashi umAbiyeze; uGideyoni indodana yakhe wayebhula ukolweni esikhamweni sewayini ukuze amfihle kumaMidiyani.

UGideyoni wamakhela khona uJehova i-altare, walibiza ngokuthi: UJehova, ukuthula; kuze kube namuhla iseOfira lama-Abiyezeri.

Wathi kuye: “Uma manje ngifumene umusa emehlweni akho, nginike isibonakaliso sokuthi ukhulume kimi.”

UJehova wasesithi kuye: Ukuthula kakube kuwe! ningesabi: aniyikufa.

Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli benza okubi emehlweni kaJehova; uJehova wabanikela esandleni sakwaMidiyani iminyaka eyisikhombisa.
