6 Se Sukot ma nikɔtɔma amɛ de ke: “Mɛni he je nɛ e sa nɛ wa ha o tabo ɔ abolo? Anɛ o nine su Zeba kɛ Zalmuna a nɔ momo lo?”
7 Benɛ a de jã a, Gideon de ke: “Nɔ́ nɛ nyɛ de ɔ he je ɔ, ke Yehowa ngɔ Zeba kɛ Zalmuna kɛ wo ye dɛ mi ɔ, ma ngɔ mio tsohi kɛ mio kpãhi kɛ guao nyɛ.”
8 Kɛkɛ nɛ e je lejɛ ɔ kɛ ho Penuel ya, nɛ e ya ngɔ jamɛ a ní bimi ɔ nɔuu kɛ fɔ a hɛ mi, se nyumuhi nɛ a ngɛ Penuel ɔ ha lɛ heto nɛ́ nyumuhi nɛ a ngɛ Sukot ɔ ha lɛ ɔ nɔuu.

15 Kɛkɛ nɛ e ya nyumuhi nɛ a ngɛ Sukot ɔ ngɔ, nɛ e de mɛ ke: “Zeba kɛ Zalmuna ji nɛ ɔ nɛ. A he nɛ nyɛ bɔ mi ahlua ngɛ ɔ nɛ; nyɛ bi ke, ‘Mɛni he je nɛ e sa nɛ wa ha o nyumuhi nɛ pɔ tɔ a he ɔ abolo? Anɛ o nine su Zeba kɛ Zalmuna a nɔ momo lo?’”
16 Kɛkɛ nɛ e nuu ma nikɔtɔma amɛ, nɛ e ngɔ mio tsohi kɛ mio kpãhi kɛ guao nyumuhi nɛ a ngɛ Sukot ɔ kɛ tsɔɔ mɛ juɛmi.

22 Pee se ɔ, Israel nyumu ɔmɛ de Gideon ke: “Moo ye wa nɔ, o kɛ o binyumu ɔ kɛ o bibi ɔ tsuo, ejakaa o he wa yi wami kɛ je Midian bi ɔmɛ a dɛ mi.”
23 Se Gideon de mɛ ke: “I be nyɛ nɔ yee, nɛ ye binyumu ɔ hu be nyɛ nɔ yee. Yehowa ji nɔ nɛ maa ye nyɛ nɔ.”
24 Gideon ya nɔ nɛ e de ke: “Nyɛ ha nɛ ma bi nɔ́ kake ko ngɛ nyɛ dɛ: nyɛ ti nɔ fɛɛ nɔ nɛ ha mi gugwɔ mi ga nɛ e ná kaa ta yibu ní ɔ kake.” (Nihi nɛ a ye a nɔ kunimi ɔ ngɛ sika tsu gugwɔ mi gahi, ejakaa Ishmael bi ji mɛ.)
