21 Zebah mo Zalmunna ga helekai gi Gideon, “Heia, kooe hua daaligidia gimaua gii mmade. Ma taane dela e mee di hai tegau o nia daane.” Malaa, Gideon ga daaligi meemaa, gaa kae nia mee humu mee ala nogo i di gili nia uwa o nau manu ‘camel’.
22 Nomuli gei digau Israel ga helekai gi Gideon, “Goe dagia gimaadou, kooe mo o hagadili gi muli. Idimaa, kooe dela ne haga dagaloaha gimaadou gi daha mo digau Midian.”
23 Gideon ga helekai, “Au ga hagalee dagi goodou, ge dagu dama daane hogi ga hagalee dagi goodou. Ma go Dimaadua dela e hai di godou Dagi.” 24 Gei mee ga duudagi ana helekai, “Nnoo malaa gi helekai i di mee e dahi mai godou baahi.
