Judges 8
1 And the men of Ephraim said to him: What is this that thou meanest to do, that thou wouldst not call us when thou wentest to fight against Madian? and they chid him sharply and almost offered violence.
И рекоша к Гедеону мужие Ефремли: что сие сотворил еси нам, яко не позвал еси нас, егда ходил воевати на Мадиама? И пряхуся с ним сильно.
2 And he answered them: What could I have done like to that which you have done? Is not one bunch of grapes of Ephraim better than the vintages of Abiezer?
И рече к ним (Гедеон): что сотворих ныне якоже вы? Не лучше ли гроздец Ефремль, нежели обрание винограда Авиезерова?
3 The Lord hath delivered into your bands the princes of Madian, Oreb and Zeb: what could I have done like to what you have done? And when he had said this, their spirit was appeased, with which they swelled against him.
В руку вашу предаде Господь князи Мадиамли, Орива и Зива: и что возмогох сотворити якоже вы? Тогда утолися дух их от него, егда глагола им слово сие.
4 And when Gedeon was come to the Jordan, he passed over it with the three hundred men, that were with him: who were so weary that they could not pursue after them that fled.
И прииде Гедеон ко Иордану, и прейде сам и иже с ним триста мужей, алчни и утруждени гоняще.
5 And he said to the men of Soccoth: Give, I beseech you, bread to the people that is with me, for they are faint: that we may pursue Zebee, and Salmana the kings of Madian.
И рече мужем Сокхофским: дадите хлебы на пищу мужем сим иже со мною, яко алчни суть: аз же гоню вслед Зевеа и Салмана, царей Мадиамских.
6 The princes of Soccoth answered: Peradventure the palms of the hands of Zebee and Salmana are in thy hand, and therefore thou demandest that we should give bread to thy army.
И рекоша князи Сокхофстии: еда рука Зевеа и Салмана ныне в руце твоей, яко дадим воем твоим хлебы?
7 And he said to them: When the Lord therefore shall have delivered Zebee and Salmana into my hands, I will thresh your flesh with the thorns and briers of the desert.
И рече Гедеон: не тако: но егда предаст Господь Зевеа и Салмана в руку мою, аз сотру плоти вашя тернием пустынным и волчцами.
8 And going up from thence, he came to Phanuel: and he spoke the like things to the men of that place. And they also answered him, as the men of Soccoth had answered.
И взыде оттуду во Фануил и глагола к ним такожде. И отвещаша ему мужие Фануили, якоже отвещаша ему мужие Сокхофстии.
9 He said therefore to them also: When I shall return a conqueror in peace, I will destroy this tower.
И рече Гедеон мужем Фануилским, глаголя: егда возвращуся с миром, раскопаю столп сей.
10 But Zebee and Salmana were resting with all their army. For fifteen thousand men were left of all the troops of the eastern people, and one hundred and twenty thousand warriors that drew the sword, were slain.
И Зевей и Салман быша в Каркаре, и полк их с ними до пятьнадесяти тысящ (мужей) оставшихся от всего полка сынов восточных: и умерших бяше сто и двадесять тысящ мужей держащих оружие.
11 And Gedeon went up by the way of them that dwelt in tents, on the east of Nobe and Jegbaa, and smote the camp of the enemies, who were secure, and suspected no hurt.
И взыде Гедеон путем живущих в кущах от востоков прямо Навы и Иегевала: и изби полк, полк же бяше надежен.
12 And Zebee and Salmana fled, and Gedeon pursued and took them, all their host being put in confusion.
И побегоста Зевей и Салман: и гна вслед их, и поима оба царя Мадиамля, Зевеа и Салмана, и весь полк их смяте.
13 And returning from the battle before the sun rising,
И возвратися Гедеон сын Иоасов от рати прежде восхода солнца,
14 He took a boy of the men of Soccoth: and he asked him the names of the princes and ancients of Soccoth, and he described unto him seventy-seven men.
и ят отрочища от мужей Сокхофских и вопроси его: и вписа от него имена князей Сокхофских и старейшин их, седмидесяти и седми мужей.
15 And he came to Soccoth and said to them: Behold Zebee and Salmana, concerning whom you upbraided me, saying: Peradventure the hands of Zebee and Salmana, are in thy hands, and therefore thou demandest that we should give bread to the men that are weary and faint.
И прииде Гедеон ко князем Сокхофским и рече им: се, Зевей и Салман, ихже ради укористе мя, глаголюще: еда рука Зевеа и Салмана ныне в руце твоей, яко дадим мужем твоим утруждшымся хлебы?
16 So he took the ancients of the city and thorns and briers of the desert, and tore them with the same, and cut in pieces the men of Soccoth.
И поя князи и старейшины града, и терние от пустыни и волчцы, и сотре ими мужы Сокхофски:
17 And he demolished the tower of Phanuel, and slew the men of the city.
и столп Фануилев раскопа, и изби мужы градския.
18 And he said to Zebee and Salmana: What manner of men were they whom you slew in Thabor? They answered: They were like thee, and one of them as the son of a king.
И рече к Зевею и Салману: какови мужие, ихже избисте в Фаворе? И реша: якоже ты, тако они, подобен ты еси им, яко подобие сынов царевых.
19 He answered them: They were my brethren, the sons of my mother. As the Lord liveth, if you had saved them, I would not kill you.
И рече Гедеон: братия моя и сынове матере моея суть: жив Господь, аще бысте живили их, не убил бых вас.
20 And he said to Jether his eldest son: Arise, and slay them. But he drew not his sword: for he was afraid, being but yet a boy.
И рече Иеферу первенцу своему: востав убий их. И не извлече отрочищь меча своего: зане убояся, яко млад бяше.
21 And Zebee and Salmana said: Do thou rise, and run upon us: because the strength of a man is according to his age: Gedeon rose up and slew Zebee and Salmana: and he took the ornaments and bosses, with which the necks of the camels of kings are wont to be adorned.
И рече Зевей и Салман: востани убо ты, и сопротивися нам: зане яко муж сила его. И воста Гедеон, и уби Зевеа и Салмана: и взя украшения, яже на выях велблюдов их.
22 And all the men of Israel said to Gedeon: Rule thou over us and thy son, and thy son’s son: because thou hast delivered us from the hand of Madian.
И рекоша мужие Израилстии ко Гедеону: владей нами и ты, и сынове твои, и сынове сынов твоих, яко ты спасл еси нас от руки Мадиамли.
23 And he said to them: I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you, but the Lord shall rule over you.
И рече к ним Гедеон: не возобладаю аз вами, и не возобладает сын мой вами: Господь да владеет вами.
24 And he said to them: I desire one request of you: Give me the earlets of your spoils. For the Ismaelites were accustomed to wear golden earlets.
И рече к ним Гедеон: попрошу у вас прошения, и да даст мне всяк муж усерязь от плена своего: яко усерязи златы (мнози) и бяху им, зане Исмаилтяне бяху.
25 They answered: We will give them most willingly. And spreading a mantle on the ground, they cast upon it the earlets of the spoils.
И рекоша: дающе дадим. И простре ризу, и ввергоша ту мужие по и усерязю от плена своего.
26 And the weight of the earlets that he requested, was a thousand seven hundred sicles of gold, besides the ornaments, and jewels, and purple raiment which the kings of Madian were went to use, and besides the golden chains that were about the camels’ necks.
И бысть вес усерязь златых, ихже испроси, тысяща и седмь сот сикль злата, кроме плениц и монист (енфофовых), и риз багряных, яже на царех Мадиамлих, и кроме чепей златых, яже на выях велблюдов их.
27 And Gedeon made an ephod thereof, and put it in his city Ephra. And all Israel committed fornication with it, and it became a ruin to Gedeon and to all his house.
И сотвори от них Гедеон ефуд, и постави его во граде своем во Ефрафе. И соблуди весь Израиль по нем тамо: и бысть Гедеону и всему его дому в соблазн.
28 But Madian was humbled before the children of Israel, neither could they any more lift up their beads: but the land rested for forty years, while Gedeon presided.
И смирися Мадиам пред сыны Израилевыми, и не приложиша воздвигнути главы своея. И бысть в покои земля четыредесять лет, во дни Гедеоновы.
29 So Jerobaal the son of Joas went, and dwelt in his own house.
И иде Иероваал сын Иоасов, и седе в дому своем.
30 And he had seventy sons, who came out of his thigh, for he had many wives.
И Гедеону быша седмьдесят сынов, изшедшии от чресл его, яко жены бяху многи ему.
31 And his concubine, that he had in Sichem, bore him a son, whose name was Abimelech.
И подложница его яже в Сикиме и сия роди ему сына, и нарече имя ему Авимелех.
32 And Gedeon the son of Joas died in a good old age, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father in Ephra of the family of Ezri.
И умре Гедеон сын Иоасов в старости блазе, и погребеся во гробе Иоаса отца своего, во Ефрафе, отца Езриева.
33 But after Gedeon was dead, the children of Israel turned again, and committed fornication with Baalim. And they made a covenant with Baal, that he should be their god:
И бысть егда умре Гедеон, и совратишася сынове Израилевы и соблудиша вслед Ваалима, и сотвориша себе со Ваалверифом завет, да им будет бог:
34 And they remembered not the Lord their God, who delivered them out of the hands of all their enemies round about:
и не воспомянуша сынове Израилевы Господа Бога своего, избавльшаго их из руки всех враг их окрестных:
35 Neither did they shew mercy to the house of Jerobaal Gedeon, according to all the good things he had done to Israel.
и не сотвориша милости с домом Иеровааловым, сей есть Гедеон, по всей благостыни его, юже сотвори со Израилем.
