< Judges 7 >
1 Early in the morning Jerubbaal (that is, Gideon) and all the men with him camped beside the spring of Harod. And the camp of Midian was north of them in the valley near the hill of Moreh.
Tad JerubBaāls, tas ir Gideons, un visi ļaudis, kas pie viņa, agri cēlās un apmetās pie Aroda avota, tā ka Midijaniešu karaspēks viņam bija pret ziemeļa pusi, aiz Mores pakalna, ielejā.
2 Then the LORD said to Gideon, “You have too many people for Me to deliver Midian into their hands, lest Israel glorify themselves over Me, saying, ‘My own hand has saved me.’
Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz Gideonu: Pārāk daudz ļaužu ir pie tevis, nekā Es dotu Midijaniešus viņu rokā; lai Israēls pret Mani nelielās un nesaka: mana roka mani izpestījusi.
3 Now, therefore, proclaim in the hearing of the people: ‘Whoever is fearful and trembling may turn back and leave Mount Gilead.’” So twenty-two thousand of them turned back, but ten thousand remained.
Tad izsauc jel to ļaužu ausīs un saki: kas šaubīgs un bailīgs, lai griežas atpakaļ un steidzās projām no Gileāda kalna. Tad no tiem ļaudīm griezās atpakaļ divdesmit divi tūkstoši, un tik desmit tūkstoši atlika.
4 Then the LORD said to Gideon, “There are still too many people. Take them down to the water, and I will sift them for you there. If I say to you, ‘This one shall go with you,’ he shall go. But if I say, ‘This one shall not go with you,’ he shall not go.”
Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz Gideonu: ļaužu vēl ir par daudz; noved tos pie ūdens, tur Es tos tev pārbaudīšu, un par kuru Es uz tevi sacīšu: šim būs iet ar tevi, tas lai iet ar tevi, bet par kuru Es tev sacīšu, tam nebūs iet ar tevi, tas lai neiet.
5 So Gideon brought the people down to the water, and the LORD said to him, “Separate those who lap the water with their tongues like a dog from those who kneel to drink.”
Un viņš tos ļaudis noveda pie ūdens. Tad Tas Kungs sacīja uz Gideonu: ikkatru, kas ar savu mēli ūdeni laks, kā suns lok, to nostādi par sevi, un tāpat ikkatru, kas nometīsies ceļos dzert.
6 And the number of those who lapped the water with their hands to their mouths was three hundred men; all the others knelt to drink.
Un to pulks, kas no savas rokas pie mutes bija lakuši, bija trīssimt vīri, bet visi citi ļaudis bija ūdeni dzēruši ceļos nometušies.
7 Then the LORD said to Gideon, “With the three hundred men who lapped the water I will save you and deliver the Midianites into your hand. But all the others are to go home.”
Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz Gideonu: caur šiem trīs simti vīriem, kas lakuši, Es jūs izpestīšu un nodošu Midijaniešus tavā rokā; tāpēc atlaid visus citus ļaudis, ikvienu uz savu vietu.
8 So Gideon sent the rest of the Israelites to their tents but kept the three hundred men, who took charge of the provisions and rams’ horns of the others. And the camp of Midian lay below him in the valley.
Un tie ļaudis ņēma savu maizi savā rokā un savas trumetes, bet visus citus Israēla vīrus viņš atlaida, ikvienu uz savu dzīvokli, un tos trīs simti vīrus viņš paturēja, un Midijaniešu karaspēks viņam bija ielejas pusē.
9 That night the LORD said to Gideon, “Get up and go down against the camp, for I have delivered it into your hand.
Un notika tanī naktī, ka Tas Kungs uz viņu sacīja: celies, noej uz lēģeri, jo Es to esmu devis tavā rokā.
10 But if you are afraid to do so, then go down to the camp with your servant Purah
Bet ja tev ir bail noiet, tad noej uz to lēģeri tu un Purus, tavs puisis,
11 and listen to what they are saying. Then your hands will be strengthened to attack the camp.” So he went with Purah his servant to the outposts where armed men were guarding the camp.
Tad tu dzirdēsi, ko tie runā, un pēc tam tavas rokas stiprināsies, un tu celsies pret to lēģeri. Tad viņš nogāja ar Puru, savu puisi, pie tiem pirmiem apbruņotiem, kas bija lēģerī.
12 Now the Midianites, Amalekites, and all the other people of the east had settled in the valley like a swarm of locusts, and their camels were as countless as the sand on the seashore.
Un Midijanieši un Amalekieši un visi tie austruma bērni gulēja ielejā kā siseņu pulks, un viņu kamieļu pulku nevarēja skaitīt, kā smiltis jūrmalā.
13 And as Gideon arrived, a man was telling his friend about a dream. “Behold, I had a dream,” he said, “and I saw a loaf of barley bread come tumbling into the Midianite camp. It struck the tent so hard that the tent overturned and collapsed.”
Kad nu Gideons nonāca, redzi, tur viens savam biedram stāstīja sapni un sacīja: redzi, es esmu sapni redzējis, un redzi, cepta miežu maize vēlās Midijaniešu lēģerī un atnāca līdz pat teltij un to sita, ka tā krita, un to pavisam apgāza, un telts gulēja (pie zemes).
14 His friend replied: “This is nothing less than the sword of Gideon son of Joash, the Israelite. God has delivered Midian and the whole camp into his hand.”
Tad viņa biedrs atbildēja un sacīja: tas nav nekas cits, kā Gideona, Joasa dēla, tā Israēlieša, zobens; Dievs Midijaniešus un visu šo lēģeri devis viņa rokā.
15 When Gideon heard the dream and its interpretation, he bowed in worship. He returned to the camp of Israel and said, “Get up, for the LORD has delivered the camp of Midian into your hand.”
Un kad Gideons dzirdēja šā sapņa stāstīšanu un izskaidrošanu, tad viņš pielūdza Dievu, griezās atpakaļ uz Israēla lēģeri un sacīja: ceļaties, jo Tas Kungs Midijaniešu karaspēku devis jūsu rokās.
16 And he divided the three hundred men into three companies and gave each man a ram’s horn in one hand and a large jar in the other, containing a torch.
Un viņš dalīja tos trīs simtI vīrus trijos pulkos, un deva visiem trumetes un tukšas krūzes rokā un lāpas krūzēs.
17 “Watch me and do as I do,” Gideon said. “When I come to the outskirts of the camp, do exactly as I do.
Un viņš uz tiem sacīja: skatāties uz mani un tā dariet; un redzi, kad es nākšu pie lēģera malas, tad dariet jūs tā, kā es daru.
18 When I and all who are with me blow our horns, then you are also to blow your horns from all around the camp and shout, ‘For the LORD and for Gideon!’”
Kad es trumetēšu, es un visi, kas pie manis, tad jums arīdzan būs trumetēt ap visu lēģeri un saukt: Tā Kunga un Gideona (zobens)!
19 Gideon and the hundred men with him reached the outskirts of the camp at the beginning of the middle watch, just after the changing of the guard. They blew their horns and broke the jars that were in their hands.
Tad Gideons un tie simts vīri ar viņu nāca pie lēģera malas ap nakts vidu, kad nule sargi bija mainīti, un tie pūta trumetēs un sadauzīja tās krūzes savās rokās.
20 The three companies blew their horns and shattered their jars. Holding the torches in their left hands and the horns in their right hands, they shouted, “A sword for the LORD and for Gideon!”
Tā tie trīs pulki pūta trumetēs un sadauzīja tās krūzes un turēja ar kreiso roku tās lāpas un savā labajā rokā tās trumetes un pūta un kliedza: Tā Kunga un Gideona zobens.
21 Each Israelite took his position around the camp, and the entire Midianite army fled, crying out as they ran.
Un tie stāvēja ikviens savā vietā ap to lēģeri. Tad viss karaspēks sāka skriet un tie brēca un bēga.
22 And when the three hundred rams’ horns sounded, the LORD set all the men in the camp against one another with their swords. The army fled to Beth-shittah toward Zererah as far as the border of Abel-meholah near Tabbath.
Jo kad tie trīs simti vīri trumetēs pūta, tad Tas Kungs grieza viena zobenu pret otru visā lēģerī, un tas karaspēks bēga līdz BetZitai uz Careratas pusi, līdz AbelMeolas robežai pie Tābatas.
23 Then the men of Israel were called out from Naphtali, Asher, and all Manasseh, and they pursued the Midianites.
Tad Israēla vīri tapa sasaukti no Naftalus un no Ašera un no visa Manasus, un tie dzinās pakaļ Midijanam.
24 Gideon sent messengers throughout the hill country of Ephraim to say, “Come down against the Midianites and seize the waters of the Jordan ahead of them as far as Beth-barah.” So all the men of Ephraim were called out, and they captured the waters of the Jordan as far as Beth-barah.
Un Gideons sūtīja vēstnešus uz visiem Efraīma kalniem un sacīja: nonāciet pretī Midijaniešiem un aizstājiet tiem to ūdeni līdz Betbarai un Jardāni. Tā visi Efraīma vīri tika sasaukti un aizstāja to ūdeni līdz Betbarai un Jardāni.
25 They also captured Oreb and Zeeb, the two princes of Midian; and they killed Oreb at the rock of Oreb and Zeeb at the winepress of Zeeb. So they pursued the Midianites and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the other side of the Jordan.
Un tie gūstīja divus Midijaniešu valdniekus, Orebu un Zeēbu, un nokāva Orebu pie Oreb akmens, un Zeēbu tie nokāva pie Zeēba spaida un dzinās pakaļ Midijanam un nonesa Oreba un Zeēba galvas pie Gideona viņpus Jardānes.
