Judges 7
Maori Bible
7 Na ka maranga wawe a Ierupaara, ara a Kiriona, ratou ko tona nuinga katoa, a noho ana i te puna o Haroro; a i te taha ki te raki o ratou te puni o Miriana, i te puke o More, i te raorao.
2 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Kiriona, He nui rawa te iwi i a koe nei hei hoatutanga maku i nga Miriani ki o ratou ringa, kei whakapehapeha a Iharaira ki ahau, kei mea, Na toku ringa ake ahau i whakaora.
3 Na, tena, karanga ki nga taringa o te iwi, mea atu, Ki te wehi, ki te pawera tetahi, hoki atu, hohoro te haere atu i Maunga Kireara. Na e rua tekau ma rua mano o te iwi i hoki; a mahue iho, kotahi tekau mano.
4 I mea ano a Ihowa ki a Kiriona, He nui rawa ano te iwi na; kawea ratou ki raro, ki te wai, a ko ahau hei kaiwhakamatautau mau i a ratou ki reira: a ko taku e mea ai ki a koe, Me haere tahi tenei i a koe; ko ia e haere tahi i a koe; a ko taku e me a ai ki a koe, E kore tenei e haere tahi i a koe; kaua tena e haere.
5 Na ko tana kawenga i te iwi ki raro, ki te wai, a ka mea a Ihowa ki Kiriona, Ko te hunga katoa e mitikia ai te wai ki o ratou arero, pera me te kuri e miti nei, me whakatu ratou ki tahaki me te hunga katoa ano e tuturi ana ki te inu.
6 A, ko te tokomaha o te hunga i mitimiti, me te pa ano o o ratou ringa ki o ratou mangai, e toru rau tangata: i tuturi ia te nuinga katoa o te iwi ki te inu i te wai.
7 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Kiriona, Ma nga rau tangata e toru i mitimiti ra e whakaora ai ahau i a koutou, e hoatu ai hoki nga Miriani ki tou ringa; a kia haere te iwi katoa, tera, ki tona wahi.
8 Na ka mauria e te iwi he o ki o ratou ringa, me a ratou tetere: ko te nuinga ia o Iharaira i tonoa e ia ki tona teneti, ki tona teneti, a puritia ana aua tangata e toru ra: na i raro i a ia te puni o Miriana, i te raorao.
9 Na i taua po ano ka mea a Ihowa ki a ia, Whakatika, haere ki raro, ki te puni ra, kua hoatu hoki e ahau ki tou ringa.
10 A ki te wehi koe ki te haere ki raro, haere korua ko Pura, ko tau tangata, ki raro ki te puni.
11 A ka rongo koe ki a ratou korero, muri iho ka maia ou ringa, a ka haere koe ki raro, ki te puni. Na ko to raua haerenga atu ko tana tangata, ko Pura, ki te hiku o nga matua o te puni.
12 A e takoto haere ana i te raorao nga Miriani, ratou ko nga Amareki, me nga tamariki katoa o te rawhiti, kei te manawhitiwhiti te tokomaha; me a ratou kamera, kahore e taea te tatau; rite tahi ki te onepu i te taha o te moana te tokomaha.
13 A, no te taenga atu o Kiriona, na e korero ana tetahi i te moe ki tona hoa, e mea ana, Nana, moe iho ahau, he keke taro pare e takahuri mai ana ki te puni o Miriana. Na kua tae mai ki te teneti; kua aki atu; na kua hinga, kua huri koaro, a takot o ana te teneti.
14 Na ka utu tona hoa, ka mea, Ehara tena i te mea ke atu i te hoari a Kiriona tama a Ioaha, he tangata no Iharaira: kua hoatu e te Atua a Miriana me te ope katoa ki tona ringa.
15 A, i te rongonga o Kiriona i te korerotanga o te moe, i tona tikanga, na ka koropiko ia, a hoki ana ki te puni o Iharaira, ka mea, Whakatika, kua homai hoki e te Atua te ope o Miriana ki o koutou ringa.
16 Katahi ka wehea e ia nga tangata e toru rau, kia toru nga matua, a whakawhiwhia ana e ia nga ringa o ratou katoa ki te tetere, ki te oko tahanga, ki te rama i roto i te oko.
17 I mea ano ia ki a ratou, Me titiro mai ki ahau, a kia rite ta koutou ki taku; na, e tae ahau ki te wahi i waho rawa o te puni, ko taku e mea ai, kia pera hoki koutou.
18 Ka whakatangi ahau i te tetere, matou ko oku hoa katoa, me whakatangi hoki koutou i nga tetere i nga taha katoa o te puni, me te karanga ano, Ko te hoari a Ihowa, a Kiriona.
19 Na ka tae a Kiriona me te rau tangata i a ia ki te wahi i waho rawa o te puni, i te timatanga o to waenga mataaratanga, i te mea katahi ano ka whakaturia atu nga kaimataara: na whakatangihia ana e ratou nga tetere, a wahia iho nga oko i o ratou ringa.
20 A whakatangihia ana hoki nga tetere e nga matua e toru, wahia iho nga oko, i puritia ano nga rama ki o ratou ringa maui, me nga tetere ki o ratou ringa matau whakatangi ai; me ta ratou karanga hoki, Ko te hoari a Ihowa, a Kiriona.
21 Na tu ana ratou i tona turanga, i tona turanga, taiawhio noa te puni: a ka rere katoa te puni; a ko to ratou hamamatanga, na ko te whatinga.
22 I whakatangihia hoki e ratou nga tetere e toru rau, a meinga ana e Ihowa kia anga te hoari a tenei tangata, a tenei tangata, ki tona hoa, ki tona hoa, ki te ope katoa ano hoki: a ka whati te ope tae noa ki Petehita e ahu atu ana ki Tererara, tae noa ki te rohe o Aperemehora, e tata ana ki Tapata.
23 Katahi ka huihuia nga tangata o Iharaira, i roto i a Napatari, i a Ahera, i a Manahi katoa, a whaia ana a Miriana e ratou.
24 A i tono karere a Kiriona puta noa i te whenua pukepuke katoa o Eparaima hei mea, Haere mai ki raro ki te whawhai ki a Miriana; tangohia hoki nga wai i mua i a ratou, a puta noa ki Petepara ki Horano. Na ka huihui nga tangata katoa o Eparaima, a tangohia ana nga wai, a puta noa ki Petepara ki Horano.
25 A tokorua nga rangatira o Miriana i mau i a ratou, ko Orepe raua ko Teepe; a patua iho e ratou a Orepe ki te kamaka a Orepe, i patua hoki a Teepe ki te poka waina a Teepe, a whaia ana e ratou a Miriana, a kawea ana e ratou nga matenga o Orepe ra ua ko Teepe ki a Kiriona ki tawahi o Horano.

Gideon Defeats the Midianites
7 Early in the morning, Jerub-Baal(A) (that is, Gideon(B)) and all his men camped at the spring of Harod.(C) The camp of Midian(D) was north of them in the valley near the hill of Moreh.(E) 2 The Lord said to Gideon, “You have too many men. I cannot deliver Midian into their hands, or Israel would boast against me, ‘My own strength(F) has saved me.’ 3 Now announce to the army, ‘Anyone who trembles with fear may turn back and leave Mount Gilead.(G)’” So twenty-two thousand men left, while ten thousand remained.
4 But the Lord said to Gideon, “There are still too many(H) men. Take them down to the water, and I will thin them out for you there. If I say, ‘This one shall go with you,’ he shall go; but if I say, ‘This one shall not go with you,’ he shall not go.”
5 So Gideon took the men down to the water. There the Lord told him, “Separate those who lap the water with their tongues as a dog laps from those who kneel down to drink.” 6 Three hundred of them(I) drank from cupped hands, lapping like dogs. All the rest got down on their knees to drink.
7 The Lord said to Gideon, “With the three hundred men that lapped I will save you and give the Midianites into your hands.(J) Let all the others go home.”(K) 8 So Gideon sent the rest of the Israelites home but kept the three hundred, who took over the provisions and trumpets of the others.
Now the camp of Midian lay below him in the valley. 9 During that night the Lord said to Gideon, “Get up, go down against the camp, because I am going to give it into your hands.(L) 10 If you are afraid to attack, go down to the camp with your servant Purah 11 and listen to what they are saying. Afterward, you will be encouraged to attack the camp.” So he and Purah his servant went down to the outposts of the camp. 12 The Midianites, the Amalekites(M) and all the other eastern peoples had settled in the valley, thick as locusts.(N) Their camels(O) could no more be counted than the sand on the seashore.(P)
13 Gideon arrived just as a man was telling a friend his dream. “I had a dream,” he was saying. “A round loaf of barley bread came tumbling into the Midianite camp. It struck the tent with such force that the tent overturned and collapsed.”
14 His friend responded, “This can be nothing other than the sword of Gideon son of Joash,(Q) the Israelite. God has given the Midianites and the whole camp into his hands.”
15 When Gideon heard the dream and its interpretation, he bowed down and worshiped.(R) He returned to the camp of Israel and called out, “Get up! The Lord has given the Midianite camp into your hands.”(S) 16 Dividing the three hundred men(T) into three companies,(U) he placed trumpets(V) and empty jars(W) in the hands of all of them, with torches(X) inside.
17 “Watch me,” he told them. “Follow my lead. When I get to the edge of the camp, do exactly as I do. 18 When I and all who are with me blow our trumpets,(Y) then from all around the camp blow yours and shout, ‘For the Lord and for Gideon.’”
19 Gideon and the hundred men with him reached the edge of the camp at the beginning of the middle watch, just after they had changed the guard. They blew their trumpets and broke the jars(Z) that were in their hands. 20 The three companies blew the trumpets and smashed the jars. Grasping the torches(AA) in their left hands and holding in their right hands the trumpets they were to blow, they shouted, “A sword(AB) for the Lord and for Gideon!” 21 While each man held his position around the camp, all the Midianites ran, crying out as they fled.(AC)
22 When the three hundred trumpets sounded,(AD) the Lord caused the men throughout the camp to turn on each other(AE) with their swords.(AF) The army fled to Beth Shittah toward Zererah as far as the border of Abel Meholah(AG) near Tabbath. 23 Israelites from Naphtali, Asher(AH) and all Manasseh were called out,(AI) and they pursued the Midianites.(AJ) 24 Gideon sent messengers throughout the hill country of Ephraim, saying, “Come down against the Midianites and seize the waters of the Jordan(AK) ahead of them as far as Beth Barah.”
So all the men of Ephraim were called out and they seized the waters of the Jordan as far as Beth Barah. 25 They also captured two of the Midianite leaders, Oreb and Zeeb(AL). They killed Oreb at the rock of Oreb,(AM) and Zeeb at the winepress of Zeeb. They pursued the Midianites(AN) and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon, who was by the Jordan.(AO)
