Judges 8
1 And the men of Ephraim said unto him: 'Why hast thou served us thus, that thou didst not call us when thou wentest to fight with Midian?' And they did chide with him sharply.
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 said unto them: 'What have I now done in comparison with you? Is not the gleaning of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?
И рече к ним (Гедеон): что сотворих ныне якоже вы? Не лучше ли гроздец Ефремль, нежели обрание винограда Авиезерова?
3 God hath delivered into your hand the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb; and what was I able to do in comparison with you?' Then their anger was abated toward him, when he had said that.
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 Gideon came to the Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing.
И прииде Гедеон ко Иордану, и прейде сам и иже с ним триста мужей, алчни и утруждени гоняще.
5 And he said unto the men of Succoth: 'Give, I pray you, loaves of bread unto the people that follow me; for they are faint, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian.'
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 And the princes of Succoth said: 'Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thy power, that we should give bread unto thine army?'
И рекоша князи Сокхофстии: еда рука Зевеа и Салмана ныне в руце твоей, яко дадим воем твоим хлебы?
7 And Gideon said: 'Therefore when the LORD hath delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.'
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 he went up thence to Penuel, and spoke unto them in like manner; and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered.
И взыде оттуду во Фануил и глагола к ним такожде. И отвещаша ему мужие Фануили, якоже отвещаша ему мужие Сокхофстии.
9 And he spoke also unto the men of Penuel, saying: 'When I come back in peace, I will break down this tower.'
И рече Гедеон мужем Фануилским, глаголя: егда возвращуся с миром, раскопаю столп сей.
10 Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and their hosts with them, about fifteen thousand men, all that were left of all the host of the children of the east; for there fell a hundred and twenty thousand men that drew sword.
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 Gideon went up by the way of them that dwelt in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and smote the host; for the host was secure.
И взыде Гедеон путем живущих в кущах от востоков прямо Навы и Иегевала: и изби полк, полк же бяше надежен.
12 And Zebah and Zalmunna fled; and he pursued after them; and he took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and discomfited all the host.
И побегоста Зевей и Салман: и гна вслед их, и поима оба царя Мадиамля, Зевеа и Салмана, и весь полк их смяте.
13 And Gideon the son of Joash returned from the battle from the ascent of Heres.
И возвратися Гедеон сын Иоасов от рати прежде восхода солнца,
14 And he caught a young man of the men of Succoth, and inquired of him; and he wrote down for him the princes of Succoth, and the elders thereof, seventy and 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 unto the men of Succoth, and said: 'Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, concerning whom ye did taunt me, saying: Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thy power, that we should give bread unto thy men that are weary?'
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 And he took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness and briers, and with them he taught the men of Succoth.
И поя князи и старейшины града, и терние от пустыни и волчцы, и сотре ими мужы Сокхофски:
17 And he broke down the tower of Penuel, and slew the men of the city.
и столп Фануилев раскопа, и изби мужы градския.
18 Then said he unto Zebah and Zalmunna: 'Where are the men whom ye slew at Tabor?' And they answered: 'As thou art, so were they; of one form with the children 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 And he said: 'They were my brethren, the sons of my mother; as the LORD liveth, if ye had saved them alive, I would not slay 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 unto Jether his first-born: 'Up, and slay them.' But the youth drew not his sword; for he feared, because he was yet a youth.
И рече Иеферу первенцу своему: востав убий их. И не извлече отрочищь меча своего: зане убояся, яко млад бяше.
21 Then Zebah and Zalmunna said: 'Rise thou, and fall upon us; for as the man is, so is his strength.' And Gideon arose, and slew Zebah and Zalmunna, and took the crescents that were on their camels' necks.
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 Then the men of Israel said unto Gideon: 'Rule thou over us, both thou, and thy son, and thy son's son also; for thou hast saved us out of the hand of Midian.'
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 Gideon said unto them: 'I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you; 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 Gideon said unto them: 'I would make a request of you, that ye would give me every man the ear-rings of his spoil.' — For they had golden ear-rings, because they were Ishmaelites.
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 And they answered: 'We will willingly give them.' And they spread a garment, and did cast therein every man the ear-rings of his spoil.
И рекоша: дающе дадим. И простре ризу, и ввергоша ту мужие по и усерязю от плена своего.
26 And the weight of the golden ear-rings that he requested was a thousand and seven hundred shekels of gold; beside the crescents, and the pendants, and the purple raiment that was on the kings of Midian, and beside the chains that were about their 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 Gideon made an ephod thereof, and put it in his city, even in Ophrah; and all Israel went astray after it there; and it became a snare unto Gideon, and to 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 So Midian was subdued before the children of Israel, and they lifted up their heads no more. And the land had rest forty years in the days of Gideon.
И смирися Мадиам пред сыны Израилевыми, и не приложиша воздвигнути главы своея. И бысть в покои земля четыредесять лет, во дни Гедеоновы.
29 And Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and dwelt in his own house.
И иде Иероваал сын Иоасов, и седе в дому своем.
30 And Gideon had threescore and ten sons of his body begotten; for he had many wives.
И Гедеону быша седмьдесят сынов, изшедшии от чресл его, яко жены бяху многи ему.
31 And his concubine that was in Shechem, she also bore him a son, and he called his name Abimelech.
И подложница его яже в Сикиме и сия роди ему сына, и нарече имя ему Авимелех.
32 And Gideon the son of Joash died in a good old age, and was buried in the sepulchre of Joash his father, in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
И умре Гедеон сын Иоасов в старости блазе, и погребеся во гробе Иоаса отца своего, во Ефрафе, отца Езриева.
33 And it came to pass, as soon as Gideon was dead, that the children of Israel again went astray after the Baalim, and made Baal-berith 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 the children of Israel remembered not the LORD their God, who had delivered them out of the hand of all their enemies on every side;
и не воспомянуша сынове Израилевы Господа Бога своего, избавльшаго их из руки всех враг их окрестных:
35 neither showed they kindness to the house of Jerubbaal, namely Gideon, according to all the goodness which he had shown unto Israel.
и не сотвориша милости с домом Иеровааловым, сей есть Гедеон, по всей благостыни его, юже сотвори со Израилем.
