Lakini Yoashi akauambia ule umati uliokuwa umezunguka ukiwa kinyume naye, “Je, ninyi mtamtetea Baali? Mnajaribu kumwokoa? Yeyote mwenye kumpigania atauawa kufikia kesho asubuhi! Kama Baali ni mungu kweli, anaweza kujitetea mwenyewe wakati mtu anapobomoa madhabahu yake.”
Judges 6:31 in English
Judges 6:31 · Berean Standard Bible
But Joash said to all who stood against him, “Are you contending for Baal? Are you trying to save him? Whoever pleads his case will be put to death by morning! If Baal is a god, let him contend for himself with the one who has torn down his altar.”
Context
29Wakaulizana, “Ni nani aliyetenda mambo haya?”
Walipochunguza kwa makini, wakaambiwa, “Ni Gideoni mwana wa Yoashi, ndiye alitenda hivi.” 30Watu wa mji wakamwambia Yoashi, “Mlete mwanao hapa. Ni lazima afe, kwa sababu amebomoa madhabahu ya Baali na kukatakata nguzo ya Ashera iliyokuwa karibu nayo.” 31Lakini Yoashi akauambia ule umati uliokuwa umezunguka ukiwa kinyume naye, “Je, ninyi mtamtetea Baali? Mnajaribu kumwokoa? Yeyote mwenye kumpigania atauawa kufikia kesho asubuhi! Kama Baali ni mungu kweli, anaweza kujitetea mwenyewe wakati mtu anapobomoa madhabahu yake.” 32Basi siku ile wakamwita Gideoni “Yerub-Baali,” yaani, “Baali na ashindane naye,” kwa sababu alibomoa madhabahu yake. 33Basi Wamidiani wote, Waamaleki na mataifa mengine ya mashariki wakaunganisha majeshi yao, wakavuka ngʼambo ya Yordani na kupiga kambi katika Bonde la Yezreeli.
