7 ¹Yerub-Baal (Gideon) ne ne nkurɔfo nyinaa sɔree anɔpahema, na wɔsoɛɛ Harod asuti ho; Midian nsraban no wɔ wɔn atifi fam, wɔ More koko no ho wɔ bon no mu.

²Yɛn Agya ka kyerɛɛ Gideon se, “Nnipa a wowɔ wɔn no dɔɔso dodo sɛ mede Midian bɛhyɛ wɔn nsa, anyɛ saa a Israel bɛhoahoa ne ho atia me se, ‘Me ara me nsa na agye me.’ ³Afei bɔ dawuru kyerɛ nkurɔfo no se, ‘Obiara a osuro na ne ho popo no, ɔnsan na ɔmfi Gilead Bepɔ so nkɔ.’” Nnipa 22,000 san kɔe; nnipa 10,000 kaa hɔ.

⁴Yɛn Agya ka kyerɛɛ Gideon se, “Nnipa no da so dɔɔso dodo. Fa wɔn sian kɔ nsu no ho; mɛyiyi wɔn ama wo wɔ hɔ. Obiara a mɛka se ɔne wo bɛkɔ no, ɔbɛkɔ; obiara a mɛka se ɔne wo renkɔ no, ɔrenkɔ.” ⁵Ɔde nkurɔfo no sian kɔɔ nsu no ho, na yɛn Agya ka kyerɛɛ Gideon se, “Yi obiara a ɔde ne tɛkrɛma tafere nsu sɛ ɔkraman no si nkyɛn; yɛ saa ara ma obiara a ɔbu nkotodwe nom nsu.”

⁶Mmarima 300 de wɔn nsa kɔɔ wɔn anom taferee nsu; wɔn a aka no nyinaa buu nkotodwe nom nsu.

⁷Yɛn Agya ka kyerɛɛ Gideon se, “Mmarima 300 a wɔtaferee nsu no na mede wɔn begye wo, na mede Midian ahyɛ wo nsa. Ma nkurɔfo a aka no nyinaa nkɔ fie, obiara nkɔ ne baabi.”

⁸Nkurɔfo no faa nnuan ne ntorobɛnto; Gideon gyaa Israelfo a aka no ma wɔkɔɔ fie, obiara kɔɔ ne ntamadan mu, na ɔde mmarima 300 no kaa ne ho. Midian nsraban no wɔ nʼase wɔ bon no mu.

⁹Anadwo no ara yɛn Agya ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Sɔre, sian kɔ nsraban no mu, efisɛ mede ahyɛ wo nsa. ¹⁰Nanso sɛ wosuro sɛ wobɛsian akɔ a, wo ne wo somfo Pura nsian nkɔ nsraban no mu,

¹¹“Tie nea wɔreka, na afei ɛbɛhyɛ wo nsa den, na woasian akɔ nsraban no mu.” Ɔne ne somfo Pura sian kɔɔ nsraban no ano, baabi a akofo a wɔkura akode wɔ.

¹²Midianfo, Amalekfo ne apuei fam nnipa nyinaa daa bon no mu sɛ mmoadabi; na wɔn yoma dɔɔso sɛ mpoano anwea, a obi ntumi nkan. ¹³Bere a Gideon duu hɔ no, na ɔbarima bi reka dae bi akyerɛ ne yɔnko. Ɔkae se, “Tie, meso dae bi: atoko burodo kurukuruwa bi muremurekyim baa Midian nsraban no mu, bɔɔ ntamadan no, na ɛhwee ase—ɛdan butuwii na ɛbɔɔ fam tamaa.”

¹⁴Ne yɔnko buaa no se, “Eyi nyɛ biribi foforo sɛ Yoas ba Gideon, Israelni no, akofena. Onyankopɔn de Midian ne nsraban no nyinaa ahyɛ ne nsa.”

¹⁵Gideon tee dae no ne nʼase no, na ɔkotow somee, ɔsan kɔɔ Israel nsraban mu, na ɔkae se, “Monsɔre, efisɛ yɛn Agya de Midian nsraban no ahyɛ mo nsa.” ¹⁶Ɔkyekyɛɛ mmarima 300 no mu akuw mmiɛnsa, na ɔde ntorobɛnto ne ahina hunu a ogyatɛn wɔ mu maa obiara.

¹⁷Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monhwɛ me; monyɛ sɛnea meyɛ. Sɛ meduru nsraban no ano a, monyɛ sɛnea meyɛ.”

¹⁸Sɛ me ne wɔn a wɔka me ho nyinaa hyɛn ntorobɛnto a, mo nso monhyɛn mo de wɔ nsraban no nyinaa ho hyia, na monteɛ mu se: “Ma yɛn Agya ne Gideon!”
