Bawu baba kuizanga ku kizunga ki Isaeli muingi kuba tulula. 6 Mu kibila ki basi Midian, basi Isaeli bayiza ba beni buphumbulu. Diawu badindila lusalusu kuidi Yave.

7 Bo basi Isaeli badinda lusadusu kuidi Yave mu kibila ki mambu mambi basi Midian baba kuba vangilanga, 8 Yave wufila ḿbikudi′andi kuidi basi Isaeli ayi nandi wuba kamba: “Buakabu butubidi Yave Nzambi yi Isaeli: ‘Minu yilubotula ku Ngipiti, ntoto wu buvika. 9 Minu yiluvukisa mu mioko mi basi Ngipiti ayi mu mioko mi zimbeni zinu zioso, yikukisa zimbeni zinu bosi yiluvana ntoto′awu. 10 Ayi minu yilukamba: “Minu yidi Yave Nzamb′inu. Bikanu kubuongimina zinzambi zi zi amorreu, bavuidi ntoto wo luidi mu kuzingila, vayi benu lusa thumukina ko.

11 Bo vavioka mua thangu, mbasi yi Yave wuyiza kala kutsi nti wunneni wuba ku Ofra kibuangu ki Joás, wuyizila mu zi Abiesrita. Muan′andi Gideão waba sosa trigu va kibuangu bankaminanga vinyu, muingi basi Midian babika kummona. 12 Mbasi yi Yave yimmonikina ayi yinkamba: “Yave widi yaku, ngie disodi didi beni mangolo.” 13 Gideão wumvutudila: “Lemvuka a mfumu′ama, vayi boti Yave widi yitu, kibila mbi tuidi mu kutovukila phila ayiyi? Kibila mbi kakhambu vangila mambu ma kukuitukila mo matata mitu ba tukamba, mu kutuba: ‘Yave nandi wutubotula ku Ngipiti.’ Buabu Yave wutuyekula mu mioko mi basi Midian.” 14 Yave wuntala ayi wunkamba: “Yenda ayi sadila mangolo maku moso muingi wuvukisa basi Isaeli mu mioko mi basi Midian. Kibila minu yidi mu ku kufila.” 15 Gideão wumvutudila: “Lemvuka, a Yave. Buidi yilenda vukisila Isaeli? Dikanda diama diawu dikanda dikhambulu beni nkinza mu mvila wu Manase ayi minu yisi ko beni luvalu ku nzo tat′ama.” 16 Vayi Yave wunkamba: “Bika kumona boma, minu yinkuiza ba yaku. Ayi ngie wunkuiza vonda basi Midian buka ngie wumvonda kuandi mutu wumueka.”

17 Bosi Gideão wutuba: “Boti minu yidi lunungu va meso maku, phana kidimbu kimmonisa ti Nzambi nandi bekutuma. 18 Lemvuka, tatamana va kibuangu akiki nate minu yinkuiza vutuka bo yekue kubika nkhailu muingi kutuala vantual′aku. Nandi wumvutudila: “Minu yentatamana avava nate ngie wumvutuka.” 19 Ayi Gideão wukota ku nzo, wukubika khombo ayi wuvanga mapha makhambulu luvi mu kusadila efa yimueka yi falinya. Nandi wutula mbizi beni kalamba mu kiphanya ayi wutula supu mu nzungu, bosi wunata biawu ku nganda ayi wumvana biawu kutsi nti wunneni.

20 Bosi mbasi yi Nzambi yinkamba: “Bonga mbizi ayi mapha makhambulu luvi tula biawu vambata dimanya dinneni ayi dukula vana supu.” Ayi Gideão wuvanga mawu. 21 Bosi mbasi yi Yave wunonuna nkawu wuba yandi va koko va kibuangu kiba mbizi ayi mapha makhambulu luvi, bosi vabasika mbazu va dimanya yivika mbizi ayi mapha beni. Bosi mbasi yi Yave yizimbala. 22 Gideão wuvisa ti Yave nandi wufila mbasi beni.

Ayi muna thangu beni Gideão wutuba: “Kiadi minu, a Yave Mfumu Yilutidi, kibila yima mona mbasi yi Yave.” 23 Vayi Yave wunkamba: “Bika ndembama yiba yaku. Bika kumona boma, ngie wisinkuiza fua ko.” 24 Diawu Gideão katungila Yave kikumu va kibuangu beni ayi kiawu kikhidi vana nate bubu. Ayi bantedilanga kikumu beni Yave-Salom,* kiawu kidi ku Ofra kibuangu ki zi Abiesrita.

25 Mu builu beni Yave wunkamba: “Bonga muana ngombi yi tat′aku, muana ngombi yimmuadi yidi sambuadi di mimvu, tulula kikumu ki Baal kio tat′aku katunga ayi zenga dikunzi bansadilanga muingi kubuongimina, didi va ndeku kikumu beni. 26 Bo wummana kutungila Yave Nzambi′aku kikumu va mbata mongo mu kusadila mamanya, ngie fueti bonga muana ngombi beni wummuadi ayi fueti vana yawu nkhailu wuviku mu kusadila bitini bi mabaya bio bezenga mu dikunzi bansadilanga muingi kubuongimina.” 27 Bosi Gideão wutumisa kumi di babakala mu bisadi biandi ayi wuvanga mamoso dedi bo Yave kankambila. Vayi nandi waba mona boma batu baba kalanga ku nzo tat′andi ayi babakala bankalanga ku divula, diawu kavangila mawu va builu.

28 Bo babakala ba divula bakotuka va meni, bamona ti babe tulula kikumu ki Baal ayi babe zenga dikunzi bansadilanga muingi kubuongimina diba va ndeku kikumu beni ayi ti bavika muana ngombi wummuadi va kikuma batunga, 29 bawu bakiyuvusa: “Nani bevanga mambu amomo?” Ayi bo bamana kufiongunina, batuba: “Gideão muana Joás, nandi bevanga mawu.” 30 Diawu babakala beni ba divula bakambila Joás: “Tuala muan′aku akuku muingi tumvonda, kibila nandi betulula kikumu ki Baal ayi bezenga dikunzi tunsadilanga muingi kubuongimina dibedi va ndeku kikumu.” 31 Bosi Joás wukamba batu boso baba kunkuambisa: “Benu luntomba kukakidila Baal? Benu luntomba kumvukisa? Woso mutu wukunkakidila, buna tunkuiza mvonda va meni ayiyi. Boti nandi widi nzambi, buna bika naveka kayikakidila mu kumona ti babe tulula kikumu kiandi. 32 Ayi tona muna kilumbu beni, nandi wutona kutedila Gideão Jerubal,* mu kutuba: “Bika Baal kayikakidila naveka, kibila babe tulula kikumu kiandi.”

33 Basi Midian, basi Amaleki ayi batu baba kalanga ku khonzo leste yi Isaeli, bakutakana, basabuka muila wu Yolidani ayi bayevundila ku ḿbuinga widi ku Jezreeli. 34 Bosi phevi yinlongo yi Yave yituadisa Gideão ayi nandi wusika phungi bosi zi Abiesrita banlandakana. 35 Gideão wufila zimvuala kuidi mvila wu Manase, ayi mvila woso wukutakana ayi banlandakana. Mvandi wubue fila mimvuala kuidi mvila wu Azer, wu Zebuloni ayi wu Nafitali, bawu mvawu banlandakana.

36 Gideão wukamba Nzambi yikiedika: “Boti minu wunkuiza sadila muingi kuvukisa dikabu di Isaeli dedi bo wutubidi, 37 buna yentula kikhutu kivangulu mu lã va kibuangu bansosilanga trigu ayi mami* ma kubondisa to kikhutu beni vayi kibuangu kioso kia kuba kiyuma, buna minu yinkuiza zaba ti minu wunkuiza sadila muingi kuvukisa Isaeli dedi bo wutubidi.” 38 Ayi mambu kadinda mawu mamonika. Bo kakotuka va meni, nandi wubonga kikhutu beni ki lã wukama ayi kiawu kibasika nlangu wuwesa kopu yimvimba. 39 Vayi Gideão wubue kamba Nzambi yikiedika: “Lemvuka, bika kudasuka. Vayi minu yintomba kubue kudinda kidimbu, yintomba wubue monisa kidimbu mu kikhutu beni ki lã. Vayi khumbu ayiyi, yintomba muingi kikhutu ki lã kiba kiyuma, vayi va kibuangu kioso vaba vabondama.” 40 Mambu Gideão kadinda, mawu Nzambi kavanga va builu beni. Kikhutu ki lã kiawu to kiba kiyuma, vayi va kibuangu kioso vaba vabondama.
