< Judges 7 >
1 Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people that were with him, rose up early, and pitched beside the well of Harod: so that the host of the Midianites were on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley.
И урани Јеровал, то је Гедеон, и сав народ што беше с њим, и стадоше у логор код извора Арода; а војска мадијанска беше му са севера крај горе Мореха у долини.
2 And the LORD said to Gideon, The people that are with you are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, My own hand has saved me.
А Господ рече Гедеону: Много је народа с тобом, зато им нећу дати Мадијане у руке, да се не би хвалио Израиљ супрот мени говорећи: Моја ме рука избави.
3 Now therefore go to, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whoever is fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand.
Него сада огласи да чује народ и реци: Ко се боји и кога је страх, нека се врати и нек иде одмах ка гори Галаду. И врати се из народа двадесет и две хиљаде; а десет хиљада оста.
4 And the LORD said to Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down to the water, and I will try them for you there: and it shall be, that of whom I say to you, This shall go with you, the same shall go with you; and of whomsoever I say to you, This shall not go with you, the same shall not go.
Опет рече Господ Гедеону: Још је много народа; сведи их на воду, и онде ћу ти их пребрати; за ког ти год кажем: Тај нека иде с тобом, нека иде с тобом; а за кога ти год кажем: Тај нека не иде с тобом, нека не иде.
5 So he brought down the people to the water: and the LORD said to Gideon, Every one that laps of the water with his tongue, as a dog laps, him shall you set by himself; likewise every one that bows down on his knees to drink.
И сведе народ на воду; а Господ рече Гедеону: Који стане лаптати језиком воду, као што лапће пас, метни га на страну; тако и сваког који клекне на колена да пије.
6 And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, were three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down on their knees to drink water.
И оних који лапташе, руком својом к устима принесавши воду, беше три стотине људи; а сав остали народ клече на колена своја да пију воде.
7 And the LORD said to Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into your hand: and let all the other people go every man to his place.
Тада рече Господ Гедеону: С тих триста људи који лапташе воду избавићу вас и предаћу ти у руке Мадијане; нека дакле одлази сав овај народ свако на своје место.
8 So the people took victuals in their hand, and their trumpets: and he sent all the rest of Israel every man to his tent, and retained those three hundred men: and the host of Midian was beneath him in the valley.
И народ узе брашњенице и трубе; и Гедеон отпусти све људе Израиљце да иду сваки у свој шатор, а оних триста људи задржа. А логор мадијански беше ниже њега у долини.
9 And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said to him, Arise, get you down to the host; for I have delivered it into your hand.
И ону ноћ рече му Господ: Устани, сиђи у логор, јер ти га дадох у руке.
10 But if you fear to go down, go you with Phurah your servant down to the host:
Ако ли се бојиш сам сићи, сиђи у логор са Фуром момком својим,
11 And you shall hear what they say; and afterward shall your hands be strengthened to go down to the host. Then went he down with Phurah his servant to the outside of the armed men that were in the host.
И чућеш шта говоре, па ће ти осилити руке и ударићеш на логор. И сиђе он и Фура момак његов до краја војске која беше у логору.
12 And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like grasshoppers for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand by the sea side for multitude.
А Мадијани и Амалици и сав народ источни лежаху по долини као скакавци, тако их беше много; и камилама њиховим не беше броја; беше их много као песка по брегу морском,
13 And when Gideon was come, behold, there was a man that told a dream to his fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and, see, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the host of Midian, and came to a tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned it, that the tent lay along.
И кад дође Гедеон, а то један приповедаше другу свом сан и говораше: Гле усних, а то печен хлеб јечмен котрљаше се к логору мадијанском и дође до шатора и стаде ударати о њих, те падаху, и испремета их, и попадаше шатори.
14 And his fellow answered and said, This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: for into his hand has God delivered Midian, and all the host.
А друг му одговори и рече: То није друго него мач Гедеона сина Јоасовог човека Израиљца; предао му је у руке Бог Мадијане и сав овај логор.
15 And it was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he worshipped, and returned into the host of Israel, and said, Arise; for the LORD has delivered into your hand the host of Midian.
И кад Гедеон чу како онај приповеди сан и како га овај истумачи, поклони се и врати се у логор израиљски и рече: Устајте, јер вам даде Господ у руке логор мадијански.
16 And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put a trumpet in every man’s hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers.
Потом раздели триста људи у три чете, и даде свакоме по трубу у руку и по празан жбан и по луч у жбан.
17 And he said to them, Look on me, and do likewise: and, behold, when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall you do.
И рече им: На мене гледајте, па тако чините; гле, је ћу доћи на крај логора, па шта ја ушчиним, то чините.
18 When I blow with a trumpet, I and all that are with me, then blow you the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon.
Кад ја затрубим у трубу и сви који буду са мном, тада и ви затрубите у трубе око свега логора, и вичите: Мач Господњи и Гедеонов.
19 So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came to the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and broke the pitchers that were in their hands.
И дође Гедеон и сто људи што беху с њим на крај логора, у почетак средње страже, истом беху променили стражу; а они затрубеше у трубе и полупаше жбанове које имаху у рукама.
20 And the three companies blew the trumpets, and broke the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow with: and they cried, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon.
Тако три чете затрубише у трубе и полупаше жбанове, и држаху у левој руци лучеве а у десној трубе трубећи, и повикаше: Мач Господњи и Гедеонов.
21 And they stood every man in his place round about the camp; and all the host ran, and cried, and fled.
И стадоше сваки на свом месту око војске; а сва се војска смете и стадоше викати и бежати.
22 And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and the LORD set every man’s sword against his fellow, even throughout all the host: and the host fled to Bethshittah in Zererath, and to the border of Abelmeholah, to Tabbath.
А кад затрубише у трубе оних три стотине, Господ обрати мач свакоме на друга његовог по свему логору, те побеже војска до Вет-Асете, у Зерерат, до обале авел-меолске код Тавата.
23 And the men of Israel gathered themselves together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after the Midianites.
А Израиљци из племена Нефталимовог и Асирова и из свега племена Манасијиног стекоше се и гонише Мадијане.
24 And Gideon sent messengers throughout all mount Ephraim, saying, come down against the Midianites, and take before them the waters to Bethbarah and Jordan. Then all the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and took the waters to Bethbarah and Jordan.
И Гедеон посла гласнике по свој гори Јефремовој говорећи: Сиђите пред Мадијане и ухватите им воде до Ветваре дуж Јордана. И стекоше се сви људи из племена Јефремовог и ухватише воде до Ветваре дуж Јордана.
25 And they took two princes of the Midianites, Oreb and Zeeb; and they slew Oreb on the rock Oreb, and Zeeb they slew at the wine press of Zeeb, and pursued Midian, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the other side Jordan.
И ухватише два кнеза мадијанска, Орива и Зива, и убише Орива на стени Оривовој, а Зива убише код теснаца Зивовог; и гонише Мадијане, и донесоше главу Оривову и Зивову ка Гедеону преко Јордана.
