Jo-Israel nochako otimo timbe mamono e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, kendo kuom higni abiriyo nochiwogi e lwet jo-Midian. 
Nikech jo-Midian ne keto ji gi tich matek mar achuna, jo-Israel nogero kuonde pondo e tiend got, rogo kod kuonde moko ma ginyalo dakie. 
Kinde ka kinde mane jo-Israel opidho cham mag-gi, jo-Midian, jo-Amalek kod jogo moa yo wuok chiengʼ ne monjo piny. 
Negichokore e pinyno kendo negiketho cham duto nyaka Gaza kendo onge gima ngima kaka rombe kata dhok kata punde mane giweyo e piny Israel. 
Negibiro gi jambgi kod hembegi machal gi kweth mar dede. Kar kwan jogo kaachiel gi ngamia mag-gi ne tek ngʼeyo, kendo negimonjo pinyno mi gikethe. 
Jo-Midian nokelone jo-Israel dhier maduongʼ mane giywakne Jehova Nyasaye mondo okonygi. 
Ka jo-Israel noywak ne Jehova Nyasaye nikech jo-Midian, 
nooronegi janabi, mane owachonegi niya, “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel, wacho: Nagolou e piny Misri, kuma ne unie wasumbini. 
Ne agolou e loch jo-Misri kendo aresou e lwet joma ne sandou. Ne ariembogi gia e nyimu kendo amiyou pinygi. 
Ne awachonu niya, ‘An Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu; kik ulam nyiseche jo-Amor, makoro udak e pinygi.’ To pod ok udewo winja.” 
Malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nobiro mobet e tiend yiend ober moro mantiere Ofra mane mar Joash ma ja-Abiezer, kama wuod Gideon ne dinoe ngano mondo kik jo-Midian yude. 
Ka malaika nofwenyore ne Gideon, nowacho niya, “Jehova Nyasaye ni kodi, in jalweny maratego.” 
To Gideon nodwoke niya, “Ruodha, ka Jehova Nyasaye nikodwa, to angʼo momiyo magi duto osetimorenwa? Ere honni duto mane kwerewa onyisowa kagiwacho ni, ‘Donge Jehova Nyasaye ema nogolowa e piny Misri?’ To koro Jehova Nyasaye osejwangʼowa mi oketowa e lwet jo-Midian.” 
Jehova Nyasaye nodwoke niya, “Gi teko ma in-go, dhiyo kendo ires jo-Israel e lwet jo-Midian. Donge an ema aori?” 
Gideon nopenje niya, “To Ruoth, ere kaka anyalo reso jo-Israel? Anywolana ema nyape mogik ei Manase, kendo an ema atin e odwa.” 
Jehova Nyasaye nodwoko niya, “Anabed kodi, kendo ibiro nego jo-Midian duto.” 
Gideon nodwoko niya, “Ka koro ayudo ngʼwono e nyim wangʼi, to miya ranyisi ni in ema iwuoyo koda. 
Kiyie to kik iwuog ka nyaka abi kendo akel misango mara mi achiwe e nyimi.” To Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Abiro rito nyaka iduogi.” 
Gideon nodhi, moyangʼo nyadiel kendo otedo, bangʼe nokawo mogo madirom kilo piero ariyo gariyo mi olosogo makati ma ok oketie thowi koketo ringʼo e adita kod kate e tawo, nokelogi oko kendo ochiwogi ne Jehova Nyasaye e tiend yiend ober. 
Malaika mar Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Kaw ringʼono kod makati ma ok oketie thowi, ketgi e lwandani, kendo iol kado piny.” Kendo Gideon notimo kamano. 
Malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nomulo ringʼo kod makati ma ok oketie thowi gi wi luth mane otingʼo e lwete. Mach nowuok e lwanda, mowangʼo ringʼo kod makati pep. Kendo malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nolal nono e wangʼe. 
Kane Gideon ofwenyo ni ne en malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye, nowacho niya, “Yaye, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto! Aseneno malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye wangʼ gi wangʼ!” 
To Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Bed gi kwe! Kik iluor. Ok nitho.” 
Omiyo Gideon nogero ne Jehova Nyasaye kendo mar misango mi oluongo kanyo ni Jehova Nyasaye en Kwe. Kendono pod ni Ofra kuno e piny jo-Abiezer nyaka chil kawuono. 
Otienono Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Kaw rwath mar ariyo koa e kweth wuonu, ma hike abiriyo. Muk kendo wuonu mar misango ne Baal kendo ingʼad siro mar Ashera man bute. 
Eka iger kendo mar misango malongʼo ne Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu ewi kama otingʼore maloni mondo ichiw rwath mar ariyo kaka misango miwangʼo pep, kitiyo gi yiend Ashera mane ingʼado.” 
Omiyo Gideon nokawo jotijene apar kendo notimo kaka Jehova Nyasaye nowachone. Notimo tijno gotieno ma ok odiechiengʼ nikech noluoro jo-dalagi kod joodgi. 
Gokinyi ka joma ni e dalano nochiewo, negiyudo ka kar wangʼo misango mar Baal omuki, ka yiend Ashera mane ni bute bende ongʼadi kendo ka rwath mar ariyo ochiw ka misango e kendo mar misango mane oger manyien! 
Negipenjore kendgi niya, “En ngʼa motimo ma?” Kane ginono matut, nowachnegi niya, “Gideon wuod Joash ema osetimo ma.” 
Jo-dalano nowachone Joash niya, “Gol wuodi oko. Nyaka otho nikech oseketho kendo mar misango mar Baal kendo ongʼado yiend Ashera man bute.” 
To Joash nodwoko oganda mager mane ni bute niya, “Un ema uwuoyo e lo Baal? Utemo rese? Ngʼato angʼata mokedone enonege gokinyi! Ka Baal en nyasaye, to onyalo resore kende owuon kuom ngʼama muko kendone mar misango.” 
Omiyo odiechiengno negichako Gideon ni Jerub-Baal, kagiwacho niya, “We Baal otiek kode,” nikech nomuko kendo mar misango mar Baal. 
Koro jo-Midian duto gi jo-Amalek kod jogo moa yo wuok chiengʼ noriwore e lweny ma gingʼado aora Jordan kendo gigo kambi e Holo mar Jezreel. 
Eka Roho mar Jehova Nyasaye nobiro kuom Gideon, kendo nogoyo turumbete, kowachoni jo-Abiezer mondo oluw bangʼe. 
Nooro joote odhi Manase duto, koluongogi mondo gitingʼ gige lweny, kendo gidhi ir Asher, Zebulun kod Naftali, mondo gin bende gidhi girom kode. 
Gideon nowachone Nyasaye niya, “Ka inires jo-Israel kokalo kuoma kaka ne isingo, 
to abiro keto pien rombo kar dino cham. Kapo ni pien rombono thoo omokoe, to lowo molwore odongʼ kotwo, eka anangʼe ni ibiro reso jo-Israel gi lweta kaka ne iwacho.” 
Kendo mano e gima notimore. Gideon nochiewo gokinyi mangʼich; nobiyo pien-no ma thoo owuok madirom bakul achiel. 
Eka Gideon nowachone Nyasaye niya, “Kik iyi wangʼ koda. We mondo akwayi kwayo achiel makende. Yiena mana tem achiel kende gi pien. E kindeno, pien mondo obed kotwo, to lowo molwore obed gi thoo.” 
Otienono Nyasaye notimo kamano. Pien kende ema ne otwo; to lowo duto molwore ne thoo omoke.
