< Judges 6 >
1 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of Jehovah; and Jehovah delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years.
Un Israēla bērni darīja, kas Tam Kungam nepatika. Tad Tas Kungs tos nodeva Midijaniešu rokā septiņus gadus.
2 And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel. Because of the Midianites the children of Israel made for themselves the dens that are in the mountains, and the caves, and the strongholds.
Kad nu Midijaniešu roka palika stipra pret Israēli, tad Israēla bērni sev taisīja alas kalnos un bedres un stipras pilis Midijaniešu dēļ.
3 And it came to pass when Israel sowed, that Midian came up, and Amalek, and the children of the east, and came up against them.
Jo kad Israēls bija sējis, tad nāca Midijanieši un Amalekieši un austruma ļaudis un cēlās pret tiem.
4 And they encamped against them, and destroyed the produce of the land, until thou come to Gazah, and they left no sustenance in Israel, neither sheep, nor ox, nor ass.
Un apmetās pret tiem un postīja zemes druvas līdz Gacai; tie neatlicināja pārtikas iekš Israēla, nedz sīku lopu nedz vēršu nedz ēzeļu.
5 For they came up with their cattle and their tents, and they came as locusts for multitude; both they and their camels were without number; and they entered into the land to destroy it.
Jo tie atnāca ar saviem ganāmiem pulkiem un ar savām teltīm, tie nāca tā kā siseņu pulks, ka tos ar viņu kamieļiem nevarēja skaitīt, un tie nāca, zemi postīt.
6 And Israel was greatly impoverished because of Midian. And the children of Israel cried to Jehovah.
Un Israēls ļoti panīka caur Midijaniešiem. Tad Israēla bērni brēca uz To Kungu.
7 And it came to pass when the children of Israel cried to Jehovah because of Midian,
Un notikās, kad Israēla bērni Midijana dēļ uz To Kungu brēca,
8 that Jehovah sent a prophet to the children of Israel, who said to them, Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel: I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you forth out of the house of bondage;
Tad Tas Kungs sūtīja pravieti pie Israēla bērniem; tas uz viņiem sacīja: tā saka Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs: Es jūs esmu izvedis no Ēģiptes un jūs izvedis no vergu nama
9 and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all that oppressed you, and drove them out from before you, and gave you their land,
Un jūs izglābis no ēģiptiešu rokas un no visu rokas, kas jūs spieda, un Es tos jūsu priekšā izdzinis un jums devis viņu zemi.
10 and I said to you, I am Jehovah your God; fear not the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell. But ye have not hearkened to my voice.
Un Es uz jums sacīju: Es esmu Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, nebīstaties Amoriešu dievus, kuru zemē jūs dzīvojat. Bet jūs neesat klausījuši Manai balsij.
11 And an angel of Jehovah came and sat under the terebinth that was in Ophrah, that [belonged] to Joash the Abi-ezrite. And his son Gideon threshed wheat in the winepress, to secure [it] from the Midianites.
Un Tā Kunga eņģelis nāca un apsēdās apakš tā ozola Ovrā, kas piederēja Joasam, no Abiēzera nama, un viņu dēls Gideons kūla kviešus vīna spaidā, lai tos paslēptu no Midijaniešiem.
12 And the Angel of Jehovah appeared to him, and said to him, Jehovah is with thee, thou mighty man of valour.
Un Tā Kunga eņģelis tam parādījās un uz to sacīja: Tas Kungs ar tevi, tu stiprais varenais vīrs!
13 And Gideon said to him, Ah my Lord, if Jehovah be with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where are all his miracles that our fathers told us of, saying, Did not Jehovah bring us up from Egypt? And now Jehovah hath cast us off, and given us into the hand of Midian.
Bet Gideons uz viņu sacīja: mans Kungs, kad Tas Kungs ir ar mums, kāpēc tad visas šīs bēdas mums uznākušas? Un kur ir visi viņa brīnumi, ko mums mūsu tēvi teikuši, sacīdami: vai Tas Kungs mūs nav izvedis no Ēģiptes? Bet nu Tas Kungs mūs atstājis un nodevis Midijaniešu rokā.
14 And Jehovah looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of Midian. Have not I sent thee?
Tad Tas Kungs uz viņu atgriezās un sacīja: noej šinī savā spēkā, un atpestī Israēli no Midijaniešu rokas; redzi, Es tevi esmu sūtījis.
15 And he said to him, Ah Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? behold, my thousand is the poorest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house.
Un viņš uz to sacīja: mans Kungs, ar ko es Israēli atpestīšu? Redzi, mans radu pulks ir tas mazākais Manasū, un es esmu tas mazākais sava tēva namā.
16 And Jehovah said to him, I will certainly be with thee; and thou shalt smite Midian as one man.
Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz viņu: tāpēc ka Es būšu ar tevi, tu sitīsi Midijaniešus kā vienu vīru.
17 And he said to him, If now I have found favour in thine eyes, shew me a sign that it is thou who talkest with me.
Tad tas uz Viņu sacīja: ja es esmu atradis žēlastību Tavās acīs, tad dod man jel zīmi, ka Tu tas esi, kas ar mani runā.
18 Depart not hence, I pray thee, until I come unto thee, and bring forth my present, and set it before thee. And he said, I will tarry until thou come again.
Neaizej jel no šejienes, kamēr es pie Tevis nākšu un savu ēdamo upuri atnesīšu un Tev celšu priekšā. Un Viņš sacīja: Es palikšu, kamēr tu atkal nāksi.
19 And Gideon went in, and made ready a kid of the goats, and an ephah of flour in unleavened cakes: the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought it out to him under the terebinth, and presented it.
Un Gideons iegāja un sataisīja kazlēnu un neraudzētas karašas no vienas ēfas miltu; to gaļu viņš lika kurvī un to sulu viņš lēja podā, un to iznesa pie Viņa ārā apakš tā ozola un to nolika zemē.
20 And the Angel of God said to him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them upon this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so.
Un tas Dieva eņģelis sacīja uz viņu: ņem to gaļu un tās neraudzētās karašas un liec to šeitan uz to akmeni un izlej to sulu; un viņš tā darīja.
21 And the Angel of Jehovah put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and there rose up fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes. And the Angel of Jehovah departed out of his sight.
Tad Tā Kunga eņģelis izstiepa tā zižļa galu, kas viņam bija rokā, un aizskāra to gaļu un tās neraudzētās maizes. Tad uguns izšāvās no tā akmens un aprija to gaļu un tās neraudzētās karašas; un Tā Kunga eņģelis nozuda no viņa acīm.
22 And Gideon perceived that he was an angel of Jehovah; and Gideon said, Alas, Lord Jehovah! for because I have seen an angel of Jehovah face to face...
Kad nu Gideons redzēja, to Tā Kunga eņģeli esam, tad Gideons sacīja: Ak vai! Kungs, Dievs! Jo es Tā Kunga eņģeli vaigu vaigā esmu redzējis!
23 And Jehovah said to him, Peace be unto thee: fear not; thou shalt not die.
Tad Tas Kungs uz viņu sacīja: miers ar tevi! nebīsties, tu nemirsi!
24 And Gideon built there an altar to Jehovah, and called it Jehovah-shalom. To this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abi-ezrites.
Tad Gideons tur Tam Kungam uzcēla altāri un to nosauca: Tas Kungs ir miers. Tas vēl līdz šodienai ir Abiēzeriešu Ovrā.
25 And it came to pass the same night, that Jehovah said to him, Take the young bullock, which thy father hath, even the second bullock of seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the Asherah that is by it;
Un tai naktī Tas Kungs uz viņu sacīja: ņem vērsīti no sava tēva lopiem un vēl otru vērsi septiņus gadus vecu, un salauzi Baāla altāri, kas tavam tēvam, un nocērt to elka stabu, kas tur ir klātu.
26 and build an altar to Jehovah thy God upon the top of this strong place in the ordered manner, and take the second bullock, and offer up a burnt-offering with the wood of the Asherah that thou shalt cut down.
Un uztaisi Tam Kungam, savam Dievam, altāri šīs stiprās vietas kalna galā tā kārtīgi, un ņem to otru vērsi un upurē dedzināmo upuri ar to malku no tā elka staba, ko tu nocirtīsi.
27 And Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as Jehovah had said to him. And it came to pass, because he feared his father's house, and the men of the city, if he did it by day, that he did it by night.
Tad Gideons ņēma desmit vīrus no saviem kalpiem un darīja, kā Tas Kungs uz viņu bija runājis; bet viņš bijās no sava tēva nama un tās pilsētas vīriem dienā to darīt, un to darīja naktī.
28 And when the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was broken down, and the Asherah was cut down that was by it, and the second bullock was offered up upon the altar that was built.
Kad nu tās pilsētas vīri rītā uzcēlās, redzi, tad Baāla altāris bija salauzīts un tas elka stabs nocirsts, kas tur klātu, un tas otrs vērsis uz tā uztaisīta altāra bija upurēts.
29 And they said one to another, Who has done this thing? And when they inquired and asked, they said, Gideon the son of Joash has done this thing.
Tad tie sacīja cits uz citu: kas to darījis? Un kad tie meklēja un izvaicāja, tad tapa sacīts: Gideons, Joasa dēls, to darījis.
30 And the men of the city said to Joash, Bring out thy son, that he may die, because he has broken down the altar of Baal, and because he has cut down the Asherah that was by it.
Tad tās pilsētas vīri sacīja uz Joasu: izved savu dēlu, jo tam jāmirst, tāpēc ka viņš nolauzis Baāla altāri un to elka stabu nocirtis, kas tur bija klāt.
31 And Joash said to all that stood near him, Will ye contend for Baal? or will ye save him? he that contends for him, let him be put to death whilst it is yet morning. If he be a god, let him plead for himself, because they have broken down his altar.
Un Joas sacīja uz visiem, kas pie viņa stāvēja: vai jūs tiesāsities par Baālu? Vai jūs viņu izpestīsiet? Kas par viņu tiesāsies, tam vēl šodien būs tapt nokautam. Ja viņš ir dievs, tad lai viņš pats par sevi tiesājās, tāpēc ka viņa altāris nolauzīts.
32 And on that day they called him Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal plead with him, because he has broken down his altar.
Un tai dienā viņu nosauca JerubBaālu un sacīja: lai Baāls ar viņu tiesājās, ka tas viņa altāri nolauzījis.
33 And all Midian and Amalek and the children of the east were gathered together, and went over, and encamped in the valley of Jezreel.
Bet visi Midijanieši un Amalekieši un tie austruma ļaudis sapulcējās kopā un pārcēlās un apmetās Jezreēles ielejā.
34 And the Spirit of Jehovah came upon Gideon, and he blew the trumpet, and the Abi-ezrites were gathered after him.
Tad Tā Kunga Gars nāca uz Gideonu, un viņš pūta trumetē un sasauca Abiēzeriešus sev pakaļ.
35 And he sent messengers throughout Manasseh, and they also were gathered after him; and he sent messengers to Asher, and to Zebulun, and to Naphtali; and they came up to meet them.
Un viņš sūtīja vēstnešus pa visu Manasu; ir tie tapa sasaukti, viņam pakaļ. Un viņš sūtīja vēstnešus pa Ašeru un pa Zebulonu un pa Naftalu un tie nāca viņiem pretī.
36 And Gideon said to God, If thou wilt save Israel by my hand, as thou hast said,
Un Gideons sacīja uz Dievu: ja Tu Israēli gribi izpestīt caur manu roku, kā Tu esi runājis, -
37 behold, I put a fleece of wool on the threshing-floor; if dew shall be on the fleece only, and it be dry upon all the ground, then shall I know that thou wilt save Israel by my hand, as thou hast said.
Redzi, es nolikšu aitas cirpumu uz klonu; kad rasa būs uz cirpuma vien un pa visu zemi sausums, tad es zināšu, ka Tu Israēli izpestīsi caur manu roku, kā Tu esi sacījis.
38 And it was so. And when he rose up early on the morrow, he pressed the fleece together, and wrung dew out of the fleece, a bowl-full of water.
Un tā notika. Jo viņš agri no rīta uzcēlās un izspieda to cirpumu un izgrieza rasu no tā cirpuma, vienu kausu pilnu ar ūdeni.
39 And Gideon said to God, Let not thine anger be hot against me, and I will speak but this once! Let me prove, I pray thee, but this once with the fleece; let it, I pray thee, be dry upon the fleece only, and upon all the ground let there be dew.
Un Gideons sacīja uz Dievu: lai Tava bardzība pret mani neiedegās, ka vēl reiz' runāju, - es vēl reiz' raudzīšu ar to cirpumu. Lai jel ir sausums uz tā cirpuma vien, un pa visu zemi lai ir rasa.
40 And God did so that night, and it was dry upon the fleece only, but on all the ground there was dew.
Un Dievs tā darīja tanī naktī; un sausums bija uz tā cirpuma vien, un pa visu zemi bija rasa.
