7Tenzi akati kuna Gidheoni, “Namazana matatu avarume vaita zvokukasva mvura, ndichakununurai, ndigoisa vaMidhiani mumaoko enyu. Rega vamwe vose vaende mumwe nomumwe kumusha kwake.” 8Saka Gidheoni akadzosera vamwe vaIsiraeri vose kumatendhe avo, kusiya mazana matatu aya. Akatora mbuva nehwamanda dzavamwe vaya. Matendhe evaMidhiani akanga ari nechenyasi mubani.

13Gidheoni paakasvikako, mumwe murume akanga achirondedzera mumwe wake hope dzake achiti, “Mufungeka ndarota hope. Ndarota ndichiona chingwa chebhari chauya kumatendhe avaMidhiani chichiita zvokukunguruka. Chasvikorova rimwe tendhe rikati pasi bvu-u.”
14Mumwe wake ndokuti, “Hakuna chimwe. Ibakatwa raGidheoni mwanakomana waJoashi muIsiraeri. Tenzi atoisa vaMidhiani nehondo yavo yose mumaoko ake.”
15Gidheoni paakanzwa hope idzi nokududzirwa kwadzo akapfugama akanamata. Akadzokera kumatendhe avaIsiraeri akati, “Handei nokuti Tenzi atoisa hondo yavaMidhiani mumaoko enyu.” 16Akaisa mazana matatu aya avarume muzvikwata zvitatu. Akapa munhu wose hwamanda, nechirongo chisina chinhu, nemwenje muzvirongo. 17Akavati, “Monyatsonditarisa mutevedzere zvandinoita. Kana ndasvika kumucheto wamatendhe, zvandinenge ndaita, imi moitawo saizvozvo. 18Mukanzwa ini navandinenge ndinavo taridza hwamanda, imi mobva maridzawo hwamanda, mativi ose akakomberedza tendhe, muzhambe muchiti, ‘Hondo yaTenzi, hondo yaGidheoni.’ ”
19Gidheoni navarume zana vaaiva navo, vakasvika kumucheto wamatendhe avo nguva yomurira kamwe vaMidhiani vachangobva mukutsinhana kugaririra. Vana Gidheoni vakaridza hwamanda vakabwadura-bwadura zvirongo zvavakanga vakatakura. 20Vezvikwata zvitatu zviya vakaridza hwamanda, vakabwadura-bwadura zvirongo zviya. Kuruboshwe vainge vakabata mwenje, kurudyi vakabata hwamanda dzokuridza. Vakazhamba vachiti, “Hondo yaTenzi, hondo yaGidheoni!” 21Munhu wose akamira panzvimbo yake vakatenderedza matendhe iwayo. Hondo yavaMidhiani ndokuti ware kutiza ichiridza mhere. 22Pavakaridza mazana matatu ehwamanda, Tenzi akaita kuti vaMidhiani vabayane pachavo nokurwisawo hondo yose. Hondo yavo yakatiza kusvikira kuBhetishita yakananga kuZerera kudzamara kumuganho weAbherimehora pedyo neTabhati.
