24 Ndipo alonda anaona munthu alikutuluka m’mzinda, nanena naye, Utionetsetu polowera m’mzinda, ndipo tidzakuchitira chifundo.

25 Nawaonetsa polowera m’mzinda iye, naukantha mzinda iwowa ndi lupanga lakuthwa; koma analola munthuyo ndi banja lake lonse amuke.

26 Ndipo munthuyo anamuka ku dziko la Ahiti, namanga mzinda, nautcha dzina lake Luzi; ndilo dzina lake mpaka lero lino.

10 ndipo ndinati kwa inu, Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu; musamaopa milungu ya Aamori amene mukhala m’dziko lao; koma simunamvere mau anga.

Mngelo wa Mulungu amdzera Gideoni

11 Pamenepo anadza mthenga wa Yehova, nakhala patsinde pa thundu wokhala mu Ofura, wa Yowasi Mwabiyezere; ndi mwana wake Gideoni analikuomba tirigu m’mopondera mphesa, awabisire Amidiyani.

12 Ndipo mthenga wa Yehova anamuonekera, nati kwa iye, Yehova ali nawe, ngwazi iwe, wamphamvu iwe.

13 Ndipo Gideoni ananena naye, Mbuye wanga, ngati Yehova ali nafe chatigwera ife bwanji chonsechi? Ndipo zili kuti zodabwitsa zake zonse zimene makolo athu anatiwerengera, ndi kuti, Sanatikweze kodi Yehova kuchokera mu Ejipito? Koma tsopano Yehova watitaya natipereka m’dzanja la Midiyani.

14 Pamenepo Yehova anamtembenukira, nati, Muka nayo mphamvu yako iyi, nupulumutse Israele m’dzanja la Midiyani. Sindinakutume ndi Ine kodi?

15 Ndipo anati kwa Iye, Ha! Mbuye, ndidzapulumutsa Israele ndi chiyani? Taonani, banja langa lili loluluka mu Manase, ndipo ine ndine wamng’ono m’nyumba ya atate wanga.

16 Ndipo Yehova ananena naye, Popeza Ine ndidzakhala nawe udzakantha Amidiyani ngati munthu mmodzi.

17 Ndipo anati kwa Iye, Ngati mundikomera mtima mundionetse chizindikiro tsopano chakuti ndi Inu wakunena nane.

18 Musachoke pano, ndikupemphani, mpaka ndikudzerani ndi kutulutsa chopereka changa ndi kuchiika pamaso panu. Ndipo anati, Ndidzalinda mpaka ubwera.

19 Ndipo Gideoni analowa, nakonza kambuzi ndi mikate yopanda chotupitsa ya efa wa ufa; nyamayi anaiika m’lichero, ndi msuzi anauthira mumbale, natuluka nazo kwa Iye ali patsinde pa thundu, nazipereka.

20 Koma mthenga wa Mulungu ananena naye, Tenga nyamayi ndi mikate yopanda chotupitsa ndi kuziika pathanthwe pano ndi kutsanula msuzi. Ndipo anatero.

21 Pamenepo mthenga wa Yehova anatambasula nsonga ya ndodo inali m’dzanja lake, nakhudza nyamayi ndi mikate yopanda chotupitsa; ndipo unatuluka moto m’thanthwe nunyeketsa nyama ndi mikate yopanda chotupitsa; ndi mthenga wa Yehova anakanganuka pamaso pake.

22 Pamenepo Gideoni anaona kuti ndiye mthenga wa Yehova, nati Gideoni, Tsoka ine, Yehova Mulungu! Popeza ndaona mthenga wa Yehova maso ndi maso.

23 Ndipo Yehova anati kwa iye, Mtendere ukhale ndi iwe, usaope, sudzafa.

24 Pamenepo Gideoni anammangira Yehova guwa la nsembe pomwepo; nalitcha Yehova-ndiye-mtendere; likali mu Ofura wa Aabiyezere ndi pano pomwe.

Gideoni agamula guwa la nsembe la Baala

25 Ndipo kunali, usiku womwe uja Yehova ananena naye, Tenga ng’ombe ya atate wako, ndiyo ng’ombe yachiwiri ya zaka zisanu ndi ziwiri, nugamule guwa la nsembe laBaalandilo la atate wako, nulikhe chifanizo chili pomwepo;

26 numangire Yehova Mulungu wako guwa la nsembe pamwamba pa lingali, monga kuyenera; nutenge ng’ombe yachiwiriyo, nufukize nsembe yopsereza; nkhuni zake uyese chifanizo walikhacho.

27 Pamenepo Gideoni anatenga amuna khumi mwa anyamata ake, nachita monga Yehova adanena naye; ndipo kunali, popeza anaopa akunyumba ya atate wake, ndi amuna akumudziwo, sanachichite msana, koma usiku.

28 Ndipo pakuuka mamawa amuna akumudziwo, taonani, guwa la nsembe la Baala litagamuka, ndi chifanizo chinali pomwepo chitalikhidwa ndi ng’ombe yachiwiri yoperekedwa paguwa la nsembe adalimanga.

29 Nanenana wina ndi mnzake, Wachita ichi ndani? Ndipo atafunafuna nafunsafunsa, anati, Gideoni, mwana wa Yowasi wachita ichi.

30 Pamenepo amuna akumudziwo anati kwa Yowasi, Umtulutse mwana wako kuti afe; pakuti anagamula guwa la nsembe la Baala, pakutinso analikha chifanizo chinali pomwepo.

31 Koma Yowasi anati kwa onse akumuimirira, Kodi inu mumnenera Baala mlandu? Kapena kodi mudzampulumutsa iye? Iye amene amnenera mlandu aphedwe kukali m’mawa; akakhala mulungu adzinenere yekha mlandu, popeza wina wamgamulira guwa lake la nsembe.

32 Chifukwa chake anamutcha tsiku lija Yerubaala, ndi kuti, Amnenere mlandu Baala popeza anamgamulira guwa lake la nsembe.

33 Pamenepo Amidiyani onse ndi Aamaleke ndi ana a kum’mawa anasonkhana pamodzi naoloka, namanga misasa m’chigwa cha Yezireele.

34 Koma mzimu wa Yehova unavala Gideoni; naomba lipenga iye, ndi a banja la Abiyezere analalikidwa kumtsata iye.

35 Ndipo anatuma mithenga kwa Manase konse; ndi iwonso analalikidwa kumtsata iye; natuma mithenga kwa Asere, ndi kwa Zebuloni, ndi kwa Nafutali; iwo nadzakomana nao.

36 Ndipo Gideoni anati kwa Mulungu, Mukadzapulumutsa Israele ndi dzanja langa monga mwanena,

37 taonani, ndidzaika chikopa cha ubweya popunthira tirigu; pakakhala mame pachikopa pokha, ndi panthaka ponse pouma, pamenepo ndidzadziwa kuti mudzapulumutsa Israele ndi dzanja langa monga mwanena.

38 Ndipo kunatero; pakuti anauka mamawa, nafinya chikopacho, nakamula mame a pachikopa, madzi ake odzala mbale.

39 Ndipo Gideoni ananena ndi Mulungu, Mkwiyo wanu usandiyakire, ndinene kamodzi kokha: ndikuyeseni kamodzi kokha ndi chikopa; paume pachikopa pokha, ndi panthaka ponse pakhale mame.

40 Ndipo Mulungu anatero usiku uja; pakuti panauma pachikopa pokha, ndi panthaka ponse panali mame.

Gideoni apirikitsa nkhondo ya Amidiyani

1 Pamenepo Yerubaala, ndiye Gideoni, ndi anthu onse okhala naye anauka mamawa, namanga misasa pa chitsime cha Harodi, ndi misasa ya Midiyani inali kumpoto kwao, paphiri la More m’chigwa.

2 Ndipo Yehova anati kwa Gideoni. Anthu ali ndi iwe andichulukira kuti ndipereke Midiyani m’dzanja lao; angadzitame Israele pa Ine, ndi kuti, Dzanja la ine mwini landipulumutsa.

3 Ndipo tsopano, kalalike m’makutu a anthu, ndi kuti, Aliyense wochita mantha, nanjenjemera, abwerere nachoke paphiri la Giliyadi. Ndipo anabwererako anthu zikwi makumi awiri mphambu ziwiri, natsalako zikwi khumi.

4 Ndipo Yehova ananena ndi Gideoni, Anthu akali ochuluka; tsikira nao kumadzi, ndipo ndidzakuyesera iwo komweko; ndipo kudzali kuti iye amene ndimnena kwa iwe, Uyo azimuka nawe, yemweyo azimuka nawe; koma aliyense ndimnena kwa iwe, Uyo asamuke nawe, yemweyo asamuke.

5 Ndipo anatsikira nao anthu kumadzi; ndipo Yehova anati kwa Gideoni, Aliyense akapiza madzi pa lilime lake, monga akhatira galu, ameneyo amuike pa yekha; momwemo aliyense agwada pakumwa.

6 Ndi kuwerenga kwa iwo akukhatira, ndi kuika dzanja lao kukamwa kwao, ndiko mazana atatu; koma ena onse anagwada pakumwa madzi.

7 Ndipo Yehova anati kwa Gideoni, Ndi anthu mazana atatu akukhatira ndidzakupulumutsani, ndi kupereka Amidiyani m’dzanja lako; koma amuke anthu awa onse, yense kumalo kwake.

8 Pamenepo anthu anatenga kamba m’dzanja lao, ndi malipenga ao; ndipo anauza amuna onse a Israele amuke, yense kuhema kwake; koma anaimika amuna mazana atatuwo; ndipo misasa ya Midiyani inali kunsi kwake m’chigwa.

9 Ndipo kunali usiku womwewo, kuti Yehova ananena naye, Tauka, tatsikira kumisasa; pakuti ndaipereka m’dzanja lako.

10 Koma ngati uopa kutsika, utsike naye Pura mnyamata wako kumisasa;

11 nudzamva zonena iwo; utatero manja ako adzalimbikitsidwa kutsikira kumisasa. Pamenepo anatsikira ndi Pura mnyamata wake ku chilekezero cha anthu azida a m’misasa.

12 Ndipo Amidiyani ndi Aamaleke ndi ana onse a kum’mawa ali gonere m’chigwa, kuchuluka kwao ngati dzombe; ndingamirazao zosawerengeka, kuchuluka kwao ngati mchenga wa m’mphepete mwa nyanja.

13 Ndipo pakufikako Gideoni, taonani, panali munthu analikufotokozera mnzake loto, nati, Taona, kulota ndinalota, ndipo tapenya, mtanda wa mkate wabarele unakunkhulirakunkhulira m’misasa ya Midiyani, nufika kuhema, numgunda nagwa, numpidigula kuti hema anakhala chigwere.

14 Ndipo mnzake anayankha nati, Ichi si china konse koma lupanga la Gideoni mwana wa Yowasi, munthu wa Israele; Mulungu wapereka Midiyani ndi a m’misasa onse m’dzanja lake.

15 Ndipo kunali, pakumva Gideoni kufotokozera kwa lotolo ndi tanthauzo lake, anadziwerama; nabwera ku misasa ya Israele nati, Taukani, pakuti Yehova wapereka a m’misasa a Midiyani m’dzanja lanu.

16 Ndipo anagawa amuna mazana atatu akhale magulu atatu, napatsa malipenga m’manja a iwo onse, ndi mbiya zopanda kanthu, ndi miuni m’kati mwa mbiyazo.

17 Ndipo ananena nao, Mundipenyerere ine, ndi kuchita momwemo; ndipo taonani, pakufika ine pa chilekezero cha misasa, kudzali, monga ndichita ine, momwemo muzichita inu.

18 Pamene ndiomba lipenga, ine ndi onse okhala nane, inunso muziomba lipenga pozungulira ponse pa misasa, ndi kunena kuti, Yehova ndi Gideoni.

19 Motero Gideoni ndi amuna zana anali naye anafikira ku chilekezero cha misasa poyambira ulonda wa pakati, atasintha alonda tsopano apa; ndipo anaomba malipenga, naphwanya mbiya zokhala m’manja mwao.

20 Ndi magulu atatuwo anaomba malipenga, naswa mbiyazo, nagwira miuni ndi dzanja lao lamanzere, ndi malipenga m’dzanja lao lamanja kuwaomba; ndipo anafuula, Lupanga la Yehova ndi la Gideoni.

21 Ndipo anaima yense m’mbuto mwake pozungulira misasa; pamenepo anathamanga a m’misasa onse, nafuula, nathawa.

22 Ndipo mazana atatuwa anaomba malipenga, ndipo Yehova anakanthanitsa yense mnzake ndi lupanga m’misasa monse; ndi a m’misasa anathawa mpaka ku Betesita ku Zerera, mpaka ku malire a Abele-Mehola pa Tabati.

23 Pamenepo anthu a Israele analalikidwa kuchokera ku Nafutali, ndi ku Asere, ndi ku Manase yense, nalondola Amidiyani.

24 Gideoni anatumanso mithenga ku mapiri onse a Efuremu ndi kuti, Tsikani, kukomana ndi Amidiyani ndi kutsekereza madooko asanafike iwowa, mpaka ku Betebara ndi Yordani. Potero amuna onse a Efuremu anasonkhana pamodzi natsekereza madooko mpaka ku Betebara, ndi Yordani.

25 Ndipo anagwira akalonga awiri a Midiyani, Orebu ndi Zeebu; namupha Orebu ku thanthwe la Orebu; ndi Zeebu anamupha ku choponderamo mphesa cha Zeebu, nalondola Amidiyani; ndipo anadza nayo mitu ya Orebu ndi Zeebu kwa Gideoni tsidya lija la Yordani.

2 Koma ananena nao, Ndachitanji tsopano monga inu? Kodi kukunkha mphesa kwa Efuremu sikuposa kutchera mphesa kwa Abiyezere?

3 Mulungu anapereka m’dzanja lanu akalonga a Midiyani, Orebu ndi Zeebu, ndipo ndinakhoza kuchitanji monga inu? Pamenepo mkwiyo wao unamlezera, atanena mau awa.

A ku Sukoti ndi a ku Penuwele anyoza Gideoni nalangidwa naye

4 Ndipo Gideoni anafika ku Yordani, naoloka, iye ndi amuna mazana atatu anali naye, ali otopa koma ali chilondolere.

5 Ndipo ananena kwa amuna a ku Sukoti, Mupatsetu anthu awa akunditsata mitanda yamkate; pakuti atopa, ndipo ndilikulondola Zeba ndi Zalimuna mafumu a Midiyani.

6 Koma akalonga a ku Sukoti anati, Kodi manja a Zeba ndi Zalimuna ali m’dzanja lako tsopano apa, kuti ife tiwaninkhe ankhondo ako mkate?

7 Ndipo Gideoni anati, Chifukwa chake, Yehova akapereka Zeba ndi Zalimuna m’dzanja langa, ndidzapuntha nyama yanu ndi minga ya m’chipululu ndi mitungwi.

8 Ndipo anachokapo kukwera ku Penuwele, nanena nao momwemo; ndipo amuna a ku Penuwele anamyankha monga adamyankha amuna a ku Sukoti.

9 Ndipo ananenanso kwa amuna a ku Penuwele ndi kuti, Ndikabwerera ndi mtendere ndidzagumula nsanja iyi.

11 Ndipo Gideoni anakwerera njira ya iwo okhala m’mahema kum’mawa kwa Noba, ndi Yogobeha, nakantha khamulo popeza khamulo linakhala lokhazikika mtima.

12 Ndipo Zeba ndi Zalimuna anathawa; koma anawatsata, nagwira mafumu awiri a Midiyani Zeba ndi Zalimuna, nanjenjemeretsa khamu lonse.

13 Pamenepo Gideoni mwana wa Yowasi anabwerera kunkhondo pokwerera pa Heresi.

20 Nati kwa Yetere mwana wake woyamba, Tauka, nuwaphe. Koma mnyamatayo sanasolole lupanga lake; pakuti anaopa, pokhala anali mnyamata.

2 Nenanitu m’makutu mwa eni ake onse a ku Sekemu, Chokomera inu nchiti, akulamulireni ana aamuna onse a Yerubaala ndiwo amuna makumi asanu ndi awiri, kapena akulamulireni mwamuna mmodzi? Mukumbukirenso kuti ine ndine wa fuko lanu ndi nyama yanu.

3 Pamenepo abale a amake anamnenera mau awa onse m’makutu a eni ake onse a Sekemu; ndi mitima yao inalunjika kutsata Abimeleki; pakuti anati, Ndiye mbale wathu.

4 Ndipo anampatsa ndalama makumi asanu ndi awiri za m’nyumba ya Baala-Beriti; ndipo Abimeleki analembera nazo anthu opanda pake ndi opepuka amene anamtsata.

5 Ndipo anamuka kunyumba ya atate wake ku Ofura, nawapha abale ake ana a Yerubaala, ndiwo amuna makumi asanu ndi awiri, pa thanthwe limodzi; koma Yotamu mwana wamng’ono wa Yerubaala anatsalako; pakuti anabisala.

6 Pamenepo anasonkhana eni ake onse a ku Sekemu, ndi nyumba yonse ya Milo, namuka namlonga Abimeleki ufumu pa thundu wa choimiritsa chili mu Sekemu.

Fanizo la Yotamu

7 Ndipo atamuuza Yotamu, anamuka iye naimirira pamutu paphiri la Gerizimu, nakweza mau ake, nafuula, nanena nao, Mundimvere ine, eni ake a ku Sekemu inu, kuti Mulungu amvere inu.

8 Kumuka inamuka mitengo kudzidzozera mfumu; niti kwa mtengo waazitona, Ukhale iwe mfumu yathu.

9 Koma mtengo wa azitona unati kwa iwo, Ngati ndidzasiya kunona kwanga kumene alemekeza nako Mulungu ndi anthu kukalenga pa mitengo?

10 Pamenepo mitengo inati kwa mkuyu. Tiye iwe, ukhale mfumu yathu.

11 Koma mkuyu unanena nao, Ngati ndidzasiya kuzuna kwanga, ndi zipatso zanga zokoma kukalenga pa mitengo?

22 Abimeleki atakhala kalonga wa Israele zaka zitatu,

23 Mulungu anatumiza mzimu woipa pakati pa Abimeleki ndi eni ake a ku Sekemu; ndi eni ake a ku Sekemu anamchitira Abimeleki mosakhulupirika;

25 Ndipo eni ake a ku Sekemu anaika omlalira pamwamba pa mapiri; amene anawawanya onse akudzera njirayi; ndipo anamuuza Abimeleki.

26 Ndipo Gaala, mwana wa Ebedi anadza ndi abale ake, napita ku Sekemu; ndi eni ake a ku Sekemu anamkhulupirira.

27 Ndipo anatuluka kunka kuminda, natchera mphesa m’mindamo, naponda mphesa, napereka nsembe yolemekeza, nalowa m’nyumba ya mulungu wao, nadya, namwa, natemberera Abimeleki.

28 Pamenepo Gaala, mwana wa Ebedi anati, Abimeleki ndani, ndi Sekemu ndani, kuti timtumikire? Sindiye mwana wa Yerubaala kodi? Ndi Zebuli kazembe wake? Mutumikire amuna a Hamori atate wa Sekemu; koma ameneyo timtumikire chifukwa ninji?
