14Ipapo Jehovha akatendeukira kwaari, akati, “Enda nesimba rako iri, undoponesa Isiraeri pamaoko aMidhiani, handizini ndakakutuma here?” 15Akati kwaari, “Haiwa, Ishe, ndichagoponesa Isiraeri neiko?

22Ipapo Gidheoni akaona kuti mutumwa waJehovha. Gidheoni akati, “Haiwa, Jehovha Mwari! Nokuti ndaona mutumwa waJehovha zviso zvakatarisana.” 23Asi Jehovha wakati kwaari, “Rugare ngaruve newe, usatya, haungafi.” 24Ipapo Gidheoni akavakirapo Jehovha atari, akaitumidza zita rinonzi Jehovha-sharomi; ichiripo paOfura ravaAbhiezeri kusvikira nhasi.
25Zvino nousiku ihwohwo Jehovha akati kwaari, “Tora nzombe yababa vako, iya yechipiri ina makore manomwe, uputse atari yaBhaari yababa vako, utemewo danda rokunamata naro riripo. 26Uvakire Jehovha Mwari wako atari pamusoro penhare iyi, nomutoo wakafanira, ugotora nzombe iyo yechipiri, ubayire chipiriso chinopiswa nehuni dzedanda rokunamata naro raunofanira kutema.” 27Ipapo Gidheoni akatora varume vane gumi kuvaranda vake, akaita sezvaakaudzwa naJehovha; asi haana kuita izvozvo masikati, asi wakazviita usiku, nokuti wakatya veimba yababa vake navarume veguta.

31Asi Joashi wakati kuna vose vakanga vachimupopotera, “Moda kurwira Bhaari kanhi? Moda kumuponesa? Unomurwira uchaurawa mangwanani ano; kana ari mwari, ngaazvirwire amene, zvaakaputsirwa atari yake nomunhu.” 32Saka nomusi iwoyo akamutumidza zita rinonzi Jerubhaari, achiti, “Bhaari ngaarwe naye, zvaakaputsa atari yake.”
33Zvino vaMidhiani vose navaAmareki navana vamabvazuva vakaungana, vakayambuka, vakadzika matende avo pamupata weJezereeri. 34Asi Mweya waJehovha wakasvika pamusoro paGidheoni, akaridza hwamanda, vaAbhiezeri vakaungana vakamutevera. 35Akatuma nhume pakati pavaManase vose, naivo vakaungana vakamutevera; akatumawo nhume kuna Asheri, naZebhuruni, naNafutari, naivo vakakwira kuzosangana navo.
36Ipapo Gidheoni akati kuna Mwari, “Kana muchida kuponesa Isiraeri noruoko rwangu, sezvamakataura, 37tarirai, ndichaisa debwe rine mvere paburiro; kana kukava nedova padebwe bedzi, pasi pose pakaoma, ndichaziva kuti munoda kuponesa Isiraeri noruoko rwangu, sezvamakataura.” 38Zvikava saizvozvo; nokuti wakamuka mangwanani, akambundanidza debwe, akasvina mvura padebwe, ikazadza mbiya. 39Zvino Gidheoni akati kuna Mwari, “Regai henyu kunditsamwira, kana ndikataurazve kamwe chete; nditenderei ndiidzezve kamwe chete nedebwe; zvino padebwe bedzi pave pakaoma, asi pasi pose pave nedova.” 40Mwari akaita saizvozvo usiku uhwo; nokuti padebwe bedzi pakanga pakaoma, asi dova rakanga riri pasi pose.
