Judges 6
1 AND the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord: and the Lord delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years.
И сотвориша сынове Израилевы злое пред Господем, и предаде их Господь в руку Мадиамлю седмь лет.
2 And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel: and because of the Midianites the children of Israel made them the dens which are in the mountains, and caves, and strong holds.
И укрепися рука Мадиамля на Израиля: и сотвориша себе сынове Израилевы от лица Мадиамля ограды в горах и в пещерах и в твердынех.
3 And so it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east, even they came up against them;
И бысть егда сеяше муж Израилев, и восхождаше Мадиам и Амалик и сынове восточнии, и восхождаху на него,
4 And they encamped against them, and destroyed the increase of the earth, till thou come unto Gaza, and left no sustenance for Israel, neither sheep, nor ox, nor ass.
и ополчахуся на них, и разоряху плоды земныя, дондеже внити в Газу: и не оставляху бытия жизненнаго во Израили, и стад и телца и осла:
5 For they came up with their cattle and their tents, and they came as grasshoppers for multitude; for both they and their camels were without number: and they entered into the land to destroy it.
яко сами и скоти их восхождаху, и кущы их преношаху, и прихождаху яко прузи множеством, и самем и велблюдом их не бяше числа: и прихождаху на землю Израилеву разорити ю.
6 And Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites; and the children of Israel cried unto the Lord.
И обнища Израиль зело от лица Мадиамля.
7 And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried unto the Lord because of the Midianites,
И возопиша сынове Израилевы ко Господу: и бысть егда возопиша сынове Израилевы ко Господу Мадиама ради,
8 That the Lord sent a prophet unto the children of Israel, which said unto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you forth out of the house of bondage;
и посла Господь мужа пророка к сыном Израилевым, и рече им: сия глаголет Господь Бог Израилев: Аз есмь изведый вас из Египта, и изведох вас из дому работы:
9 And I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all that oppressed you, and drave them out from before you, and gave you their land;
и избавих вас от руки Египетския и от руки всех стужающих вам: и изгнах я от лица вашего, и дах вам землю их,
10 And I said unto you, I am the Lord your God; fear not the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but ye have not obeyed my voice.
и рекох вам: Аз есмь Господь Бог ваш, не убойтеся богов Аморрейских, в нихже вы живете в земли их: и не послушасте гласа Моего.
11 And there came an angel of the Lord, and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abi-ezrite: and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites.
И прииде Ангел Господень, и седе под дубом, иже есть во Ефрафе, иже бысть Иоаса отца Езри. И Гедеон сын его млачаше пшеницу на гумне его, бежати от лица Мадиамля.
12 And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him, and said unto him, The Lord is with thee, thou mighty man of valour.
И явися ему Ангел Господень и рече к нему: Господь с тобою, сильный крепостию.
13 And Gideon said unto him, Oh my Lord, if the Lord be with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt? but now the Lord hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.
И рече к нему Гедеон: во мне, Господи мой: и аще есть Господь с нами, и вскую обретоша ны вся злая сия? И где суть вся чудеса Его, елика поведаша нам отцы наши, глаголюще: не из Египта ли изведе нас Господь? И ныне отверже нас Господь и предаде нас в руку Мадиамлю.
14 And the Lord looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee?
И воззре на него Ангел Господень и рече ему: иди в крепости твоей сей, и спасеши Израиля от руки Мадиамли: и се, послах тя.
15 And he said unto him, Oh my Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house.
И рече к нему Гедеон: во мне, Господи, в чесом спасу Израиля? Се, тысяща моя хуждша в Манассии, и аз есмь мний в дому отца моего.
16 And the Lord said unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man.
И рече к нему Господь: понеже Аз буду с тобою, и избиеши Мадиама яко мужа единаго.
17 And he said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, then shew me a sign that thou talkest with me.
И рече к Нему Гедеон: и аще обретох благодать пред очима Твоима, и да сотвориши мне днесь знамение, яко Ты глаголеши со мною:
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.
не отиди отсюду, дондеже приити мне к Тебе, и принесу жертву мою, и пожру пред Тобою. И рече: Аз есмь, премедлю, дондеже обратишися ты.
19 And Gideon went in, and made ready a kid, and unleavened cakes of an ephah of flour: the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought it out unto him under the oak, and presented it.
И Гедеон вниде, и сотвори козлище от коз, и четверть ифи муки опресноков, и мяса вложи в кошницу, и юху влия в горнец: и изнесе к Нему под дуб, и поклонися.
20 And the angel of God said unto him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them upon this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so.
И рече к нему Ангел Господень: возми мяса и хлебы пресныя, и положи у камене онаго, и юху близ излий. И сотвори тако.
21 Then the angel of the Lord 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. Then the angel of the Lord departed out of his sight.
И простре Ангел Господень конец жезла, иже в руце его, и прикоснуся мясом и хлебом пресным: и возгореся огнь из камене, и пояде мяса и опресноки: и Ангел Господень отиде от очей его.
22 And when Gideon perceived that he was an angel of the Lord, Gideon said, Alas, O Lord God! for because I have seen an angel of the Lord face to face.
И виде Гедеон, яко Ангел есть Господень, и рече Гедеон: увы мне, Господи, Господи, яко видех Ангела Господня лицем к лицу.
23 And the Lord said unto him, Peace be unto thee; fear not: thou shalt not die.
И рече ему Господь: мир тебе, и не бойся, не умреши.
24 Then Gideon built an altar there unto the Lord, and called it Jehovah-shalom: unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abi-ezrites.
И созда тамо Гедеон жертвенник Господу, и назва его Мир Господень, даже до дне сего, еще сущу ему во Ефрафе отца Езри.
25 And it came to pass the same night, that the Lord said unto him, Take thy father’s young bullock, even the second bullock of seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the grove that is by it:
И бысть в ту нощь, и рече ему Господь: возми телца упитаннаго (от скотов) отца твоего, и телца втораго седми лет, и разориши олтарь Ваалов, иже есть отца твоего, и дубраву, яже у него, да посечеши:
26 And build an altar unto the Lord thy God upon the top of this rock, in the ordered place, and take the second bullock, and offer a burnt sacrifice with the wood of the grove which thou shalt cut down.
и да соградиши олтарь Господеви Богу твоему явившемуся тебе на верху (горы) маози во предчинии: и да поймеши телца втораго и вознесеши всесожжения на древех дубравы, юже посечеши.
27 Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as the Lord had said unto him: and so it was, because he feared his father’s household, and the men of the city, that he could not do it by day, that he did it by night.
И поя Гедеон десять мужей от рабов своих, и сотвори, якоже заповеда ему Господь. И бысть яко убояся дому отца своего и мужей града, еже сотворити во дни, и сотвори нощию.
28 And when the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was cast down, and the grove was cut down that was by it, and the second bullock was offered upon the altar that was built.
И обутреневаша мужие градстии заутра: и се, раскопан олтарь Ваалов, и дубрава яже у него посечена, и видеша телца втораго вознесена на всесожжение на олтарь новосогражденный.
29 And they said one to another, Who hath done this thing? And when they inquired and asked, they said, Gideon the son of Joash hath done this thing.
И рече муж к ближнему своему: кто сотвори вещь сию? И вопрошаху и искаху, и познаша, яко Гедеон сын Иоасов сотвори вещь сию.
30 Then the men of the city said unto Joash, Bring out thy son, that he may die: because he hath cast down the altar of Baal, and because he hath cut down the grove that was by it.
И рекоша мужие градстии ко Иоасу: изведи сына твоего, и да умрет, яко раскопа олтарь Ваалов и яко посече дубраву яже над ним.
31 And Joash said unto all that stood against him, Will ye plead for Baal? will ye save him? he that will plead for him, let him be put to death whilst it is yet morning: if he be a god, let him plead for himself, because one hath cast down his altar.
И рече Иоас к мужем воставшым на него: еда вы ныне суд глаголете о Ваале? Или вы его спасете? Иже аще кто сотвори обиду, да умрет до заутрия: аще Бог есть, да мстит себе, яко раскопа олтарь его.
32 Therefore on that day he called him Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal plead against him, because he hath thrown down his altar.
И прозва его в той день Иероваалом, глаголя: да отмстит на нем Ваал, яко раскопа олтарь его.
33 Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the children of the east were gathered together, and went over, and pitched in the valley of Jezreel.
И весь Мадиам и Амалик и сынове востоков снидошася вкупе, и преидоша (реку), и ополчишася в долине Иезраель.
34 But the Spirit of the Lord came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet; and Abi-ezer was gathered after him.
И Дух Божий укрепи Гедеона, и воструби рогом, и возопи Авиезер вслед его.
35 And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh; who also was gathered after him: and he sent messengers unto Asher, and unto Zebulun, and unto Naphtali; and they came up to meet them.
И посла послы ко всему Манассию, и созвася и сей вслед его. Посем посла послы во Асир и в Завулон и в Неффалим, и взыдоша во сретение им.
36 And Gideon said unto God, If thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said,
И рече Гедеон к Богу: аще Ты спасаеши рукою моею Израиля, якоже глаголал еси,
37 Behold, I will put a fleece of wool in the floor; and if the dew be on the fleece only, and it be dry upon all the earth beside, then shall I know that thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said.
се, аз положу руно овчее на гумне: и аще будет роса на руне точию, и по всей земли суша, уразумею, яко спасеши рукою моею Израиля, якоже глаголал еси.
38 And it was so: for he rose up early on the morrow, and thrust the fleece together, and wringed the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water.
И бысть тако: и урани Гедеон наутрие, и исцеди руно, и истече роса из руна, исполнен окрин воды.
39 And Gideon said unto 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 now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all the ground let there be dew.
И рече Гедеон к Богу: да не разгневается ярость Твоя на мя, и возглаголю еще единою, и искушу еще единою руном: да будет суша на руне токмо, и по всей земли да будет роса.
40 And God did so that night: for it was dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.
И сотвори Бог тако в нощи той: и бысть суша на руне токмо, и по всей земли бысть роса.
