Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli benza okubi emehlweni kaJehova
1Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli benza okubi emehlweni kaJehova; uJehova wabanikela esandleni sakwaMidiyani iminyaka eyisikhombisa.
2Isandla sakwaMidiyani saba namandla phezu kuka-Israyeli, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bazenzela imigodi esezintabeni, nemigede, nezinqaba ngenxa yabakwaMidiyani.
3Lapho u-Israyeli ehlwanyela, amaMidiyani akhuphuka, nama-Amaleki, nabantwana basempumalanga, bakhuphukela kubo;
4Bamisa phezu kwabo, bachitha izithelo zomhlaba kwaze kwafika eGaza, abashiyanga u-Israyeli ukudla, nazimvu, nankomo, nazimbongolo.
5Ngokuba benyuka nezinkomo zabo namatende abo, bafika njengesikhonyane ngobuningi; ngokuba bona namakamela abo babengenakubalwa, bangena ezweni ukuba balichithe.
6U-Israyeli waba mpofu kakhulu ngenxa yabakwaMidiyani; abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bakhuleka kuJehova.
7Lapho abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bembiza uJehova ngenxa yamaMidiyani.
8UJehova wathuma umprofethi kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, wathi kubo: “Usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: ‘Nganikhuphula eGibithe, nganikhipha endlini yobugqila;
9Nganisindisa esandleni sabaseGibithe nasesandleni sabo bonke ababenicindezela, ngabaxosha phambi kwenu, nganika izwe labo;
10Ngathi kini: NginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu; ningabesabi onkulunkulu bama-Amori enihlala ezweni lawo, kepha anililalelanga izwi lami.
11Kwafika ingelosi kaJehova, yahlala phansi kwesihlahla somtholo esasise-Ofira, esingesikaJowashi umAbiyeze; uGideyoni indodana yakhe wayebhula ukolweni esikhamweni sewayini ukuze amfihle kumaMidiyani.
12Ingelosi kaJehova yabonakala kuye, yathi: “UJehova unawe, qhawe elinamandla;
13UGideyoni 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.
14UJehova wambheka, wathi: “Hamba ngalawa mandla akho, futhi uzokhulula u-Israyeli esandleni sakwaMidiyani.” Angikuthumanga yini?
15Wathi kuye: “Awu, Nkosi yami, ngiyakumkhulula ngani u-Israyeli na?” bheka, umndeni wakithi umpofu kwaManase, mina ngingomncinyane endlini kababa.
16UJehova wasesithi kuye: Isibili ngizakuba lawe, njalo uzatshaya amaMidiyani njengomuntu munye.
17Wathi kuye: “Uma manje ngifumene umusa emehlweni akho, nginike isibonakaliso sokuthi ukhulume kimi.”
18Ungasuki lapha ngize ngize kuwe, ngilethe isipho sami, ngisibeke phambi kwakho. Wathi: “Ngizohlala uze ubuye.”
19UGideyoni wangena, walungisa izinyane lamaqebelengwane angenamvubelo e-efa lempuphu; wafaka inyama kubhasikidi, wathela isoso ebhodweni, wamkhiphela ngaphansi kwesihlahla somuthi, waletha.
20Ingelosi kaNkulunkulu yathi kuye: “Thatha inyama namaqebelengwane angenamvubelo, ukubeke phezu kwaleli dwala, uthele umhluzi.” Wenze njalo.
21Ingelosi kaJehova yase yelula isihloko sentonga eyayisesandleni sayo, yathinta inyama namaqebelengwane angenamvubelo; kwakhuphuka umlilo edwaleni, wadla inyama namaqebelengwane angenamvubelo. Ingelosi kaJehova yasuka ebusweni bakhe.
22Kwathi uGideyoni ebona ukuthi iyingelosi kaJehova, uGideyoni wathi: “Awu, Nkosi Jehova! ngokuba ngabona ingelosi kaJehova ubuso nobuso.
23UJehova wasesithi kuye: Ukuthula kakube kuwe! ningesabi: aniyikufa.
24UGideyoni wamakhela khona uJehova i-altare, walibiza ngokuthi: UJehova, ukuthula; kuze kube namuhla iseOfira lama-Abiyezeri.
25Kwathi ngalobo busuku uJehova wathi kuye: “Thatha ijongosi likayihlo, ijongosi lenkomo yesibili eneminyaka eyisikhombisa, udilize i-altare likaBali likayihlo, ugawule isihlahla esiyiso;
26Wakhele uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho i-altare esiqongweni saleli dwala endaweni emisiweyo, uthathe inkunzi yesibili, unikele ngomnikelo wokushiswa ngezinkuni zehlathi oyakugawula.
27UGideyoni wayesethatha amadoda ayishumi ezincekwini zakhe, wenza njengokusho kukaJehova kuye; futhi ngenxa yokuthi wayesaba indlu kayise namadoda omuzi, kangangokuthi wayengenakukwenza emini, wakwenza ebusuku.
28Lapho amadoda omuzi evuka ekuseni kakhulu, bheka, i-altare likaBhali laligumbuqelwe, nesihlahla esasiseduze kwalo sigawuliwe, nenkunzi yesibili inikelwa phezu kwe-altare elalakhiwe.
29Base bethi omunye komunye: “Ngubani owenze lokho na?” Lapho bebuza, babuza, bathi: “UGideyoni, indodana kaJowashi, wenze lokho.”
30Abantu bomuzi base bethi kuJowashi: “Khipha indodana yakho ukuba ife, ngokuba walidiliza i-altare likaBali, walichitha. Laliphethe ihlathi elalinalo.
31UJowashi wasesithi kubo bonke ababemelene laye: Lizammela yini uBhali? uzomsindisa na? noma ubani ofuna ukumncengela, makabulawe kusekusasa; uma engunkulunkulu, makazikhulumele, ngokuba kukhona odilizile i-altare lakhe.
32Ngalokho wambiza ngokuthi uJerubali ngalolo suku, wathi: “UBali makamelane naye, ngokuba badilizile i-altare lakhe.”
33Bonke abakwaMidiyani nama-Amaleki nabantwana basempumalanga babuthana, bawela, bamisa esigodini saseJizreyeli.
34UMoya kaJehova wehlela kuGideyoni, wabetha icilongo; no-Abiyezeri wabuthana emva kwakhe.
35Wathuma izithunywa kuwo wonke uManase; wathuma izithunywa ko-Asheri, noZebuloni, noNafetali; bakhuphuka ukubahlangabeza.
36UGideyoni wayesethi kuNkulunkulu: “Uma ukhulula u-Israyeli ngesandla sami njengokusho kwakho,
37Bheka, ngiyakubeka uboya bezimvu phansi; uma amazolo eboyeni kuphela, ome emhlabeni wonke ngaphandle, ngiyakwazi ukuthi uyakumhlenga u-Israyeli ngesandla sami, njengokusho kwakho.
38Kwaba njalo: ngokuba wavuka ekuseni ngakusasa wahlohla uboya, wakhama amazolo eboyeni, isitsha esigcwele amanzi.
39UGideyoni wasesithi kuNkulunkulu: Intukuthelo yakho mayingavutheli kimi, kodwa ngizakhuluma kanye kuphela; ake ngiwuvivinye, kepha manje ngoboya; manje makuwome eboyeni kuphela, kube khona amazolo emhlabathini wonke.
40Wenze njalo uNkulunkulu ngalobo busuku, ngokuba kwakoma eboyeni bodwa, kwakukhona amazolo emhlabathini wonke.
