ANI oona nɔ ni yaa nɔ yɛ biɛ lɛ? Israel hii tabilɔi sɔŋŋ nɛ. Hii ni ekula shi lɛ miinu nu. Kojolɔ Gideon ji nuu ni damɔ amɛmasɛi kpaakpa lɛ. Eekwɛ bɔ ni amɛfeɔ amɛnuɔ nu lɛ.

Kwɛmɔ gbɛi srɔtoi anɔ ni hii lɛ tsɔɔ amɛnuɔ nu lɛ jogbaŋŋ. Mɛi komɛi emamɔ amɛhiɛaŋ shi kɛwo nu lɛ mli tɔ̃ɔ. Shi amɛteŋ mɔ kome kɛ enine tsɔɔ nu lɛ ni enuɔ, koni enyɛ ena nɔ ni yaa nɔ yɛ ehewɔ fɛɛ kɛkpe. Enɛ he miihia, ejaakɛ Yehowa kɛɛ Gideon akɛ ehala hii ni kwɛɔ nii beni amɛnuɔ nu lɛ pɛ. Mɛi ni eshwɛ lɛ, Nyɔŋmɔ kɛɛ eha amɛya shia. Nyɛhaa wɔkwɛa nɔ hewɔ.

Israelbii lɛ ebote haomɔ babaoo mli ekoŋŋ. Nɔ hewɔ ji akɛ, amɛbooo Yehowa toi. Midianbii lɛ ena hewalɛ yɛ amɛnɔ ni amɛmiiye amɛ awui. No hewɔ lɛ Israelbii lɛ bolɔ amɛtsɛ Yehowa koni eye ebua amɛ, ni Yehowa bo amɛbolɔmɔ lɛ toi.

Yehowa kɛɛ Gideon koni ehala asraafoi, no hewɔ lɛ Gideon bua hii tabilɔi 32,000 naa. Shi tabilɔi ni baa amɛkɛ Israelbii lɛ abawu lɛ ayifalɛ ji 135,000. Ni kɛlɛ Yehowa kɛɛ Gideon akɛ: ‘Mɛi ni ohala lɛ ayi fa tsɔ̃.’ Mɛni hewɔ Yehowa kɛɛ nakai lɛ?

Nɔ hewɔ ji akɛ, kɛ Israelbii lɛ ye kunim lɛ amɛbaasusu akɛ amɛ diɛŋtsɛ amɛhewalɛ naa amɛye kunim lɛ yɛ. Amɛbaasusu akɛ Yehowa yelikɛbuamɔ he ehiaaa amɛ ni amɛkɛye kunim lɛ. No hewɔ lɛ Yehowa kɛɛ Gideon akɛ: ‘Kɛɛmɔ hii ni sheɔ gbeyei lɛ fɛɛ ni amɛku amɛsɛɛ amɛya shia.’ Ní Gideon kɛɛ amɛ nɛkɛ lɛ, ehii tabilɔi lɛ ateŋ mɛi 22,000 tee shia. Enɛ ha eshwɛ lɛ kɛ hii 10,000 pɛ ni baawu ashi asraafoi 135,000 lɛ fɛɛ.

Shi, bo toi! Yehowa kɛɛ akɛ: ‘Hii ni ohiɛ lɛ ayi fa tsɔ̃ lolo.’ No hewɔ lɛ ekɛɛ Gideon ni eha hii lɛ ayanu nu yɛ nɛkɛ faa nɛɛ mli koni eha hii lɛ ateŋ mɛi fɛɛ ni kɛ amɛhiɛ baabumɔ nu lɛ mli ni amɛnu lɛ aku amɛsɛɛ amɛya shia. Yehowa wo lɛ shi akɛ: ‘Maha oye kunim kɛ hii 300 ni kwɛɔ nii beni amɛnuɔ nu lɛ.’

Be bashɛ ni akɛbaawu ta lɛ. Gideon ja ehii 300 lɛ amli efee amɛ kui etɛ. Ni eha amɛ fɛɛ tɛtɛrɛmantɛrɛi kɛ kpuji ni kɔtii hɔlɔ mli.

Kɛkɛ ni, yɛ be kome mli lɛ, amɛkpã amɛ tɛtɛrɛmantɛrɛi lɛ ni amɛjwara amɛkpuji lɛ ni amɛbolɔ waa amɛkɛɛ: ‘Yehowa kɛ Gideon klante!’ Ní asraafoi henyɛlɔi lɛ ahiɛ tsɛ̃ lɛ, amɛyiŋ futu amɛ, ni amɛshe gbeyei. Amɛ fɛɛ amɛbɔi foijee, ni Israelbii lɛ ye kunim yɛ ta lɛ mli.
