26. wakhe isibingelelo kuYehova uThixo wakho encotsheni yale nqaba, usilungiselele, uthabathe eyesibini inkunzi, unyuse idini elinyukayo ngeenkuni zika-Ashera omgawuleyo.
27. UGidiyon wathabatha amadoda alishumi kubakhonzi bakhe; wenza njengoko wathethayo uYehova kuye. Kwathi, kuba esoyika indlu kayise namadoda aloo mzi, akenza emini, wenza ebusuku.
28. Avuka kusasa ngengomso amadoda aloo mzi: naso isibingelelo sikaBhahali sidiliziwe, egawulwe noAshera obengakuso, neyesibini inkunzi inyusiwe phezu kwesibingelelo esibe sakhiwe.
29. Yathi enye kwenye, Ngubani na lo wenzé le nto? Abuza, afuna. Bathi, NguGidiyon unyana kaYowashe, lo wenzé le nto.
30. Athi amadoda aloo mzi kuYowashe, Khupha unyana wakho, afe; ngokuba úsidilizile isibingelelo sikaBhahali, wamgawula uAshera obengakuso.
31. Wathi uYowashe kubo bonke ababemmele, Niya kummela uBhahali nina aba na? Niya kumsindisa nina aba na? Lowo ummelayo uBhahali makabulawe; makhe kuse. Ukuba únguThixo, makazithethele, ngokuba sídiliziwe isibingelelo sakhe.
32. Kwathiwa loo mini unguYerubhahali,* kusithiwa, uBhahali makaphikisane naye, ngokuba esidilizile isibingelelo sakhe.
33. Ahlangana ndawonye onke amaMidiyan, nama-Amaleki, nabasempumalanga; awela, amisa emathafeni aseYizereli.
34. UMoya kaYehova wangena kuGidiyon, wavuthela ngesigodlo; ahlatyelwa umkhosi, eza ama-Abhihezere, amlandela.
35. Wathuma abathunywa kumaManase onke, ahlatyelwa; eza nawo amlandela. Wathuma abathunywa kuma-Ashere, nakumaZebhulon, nakumaNafetali; enyuka awakhawulela.
