Judges 8
1 And the men of Ephraim said unto him, Why hast thou served us thus, that thou calledst us not, when thou wentest to fight with the Midianites? And they did chide with him sharply.
Un Efraīma vīri sacīja uz viņu: kas tas ir, ko tu mums esi darījis, ka tu mūs neesi aicinājis pret Midijaniešiem karot? Un tie ar viņu stipri bārās.
2 And he said unto them, What have I done now in comparison of you? Is not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abi–ezer?
Tad viņš uz tiem sacīja: vai tad es ko esmu darījis, kā jūs? Vai Efraīma salasas nav labākas nekā Abiēzera savākums.
3 God hath delivered into your hands the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb: and what was I able to do in comparison of you? Then their anger was abated toward him, when he had said that.
Dievs Midijana valdniekus Orebu un Zeēbu nodevis jūsu rokās, - vai tad es ko varēju darīt kā jūs? Tad viņu dusmas pret to aprima, tam šo vārdu runājot.
4 And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them.
Un Gideons nāca pie Jardānes, un gāja pāri ar tiem trīssimt vīriem, kas pie viņa bija, piekusuši no pakaļ dzīšanās.
5 And he said unto the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves of bread unto the people that follow me; for they be faint, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian.
Un viņš sacīja uz Sukotas vīriem: dodiet jel kādus maizes klaipus tiem ļaudīm, kas man līdz, jo tie piekusuši; un es dzenos pakaļ Zebum un Calmunum, Midijana ķēniņiem.
6 And the princes of Succoth said, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we should give bread unto thine army?
Tad Sukotas virsnieki sacīja: vai tad Zebus un Calmunus dūre jau ir tavā rokā, ka mums tavam karaspēkam būs maizes dot?
7 And Gideon said, Therefore when Yhwh hath delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into mine hand, then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.
Tad Gideons sacīja: nu tad, ja Tas Kungs Zebu un Calmunu dos manā rokā, tad es jūsu miesas kapāšu ar tuksneša ērkšķiem un ar dadžiem.
8 And he went up thence to Penuel, and spake unto them likewise: and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered him.
Un viņš gāja no turienes uz Pnuēli un runāja uz tiem tāpat; tad Pnuēles vīri viņam atbildēja, kā Sukotas vīri bija atbildējuši.
9 And he spake also unto the men of Penuel, saying, When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower.
Un viņš arī ar Pnuēles vīriem runāja sacīdams: kad es ar mieru griezīšos atpakaļ, tad es šo torni noārdīšu.
10 Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and their armies with them, about fifteen thousand men, all that were left of all the armies of the children of the east: for there fell an hundred and twenty thousand men that drew sword.
Bet Zebus un Calmunus bija Karkorā, un viņu karaspēki pie viņiem, kādi piecpadsmit tūkstoši, kas vien bija atlikuši no visa austruma bērnu spēka, jo simts un divdesmit tūkstoš vīri, zobena nesēji, bija gājuši bojā.
11 And Gideon went up by the way of them that dwelt in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and smote the army: for the army was secure.
Un Gideons gāja pa telts ļaužu ceļu pret rītiem no Nobas un Jagbeas, un sakāva to karaspēku, jo tas karaspēks tur gulēja it droši.
12 And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled, he pursued after them, and took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and discomfited all the army.
Un Zebus un Calmunus bēga, bet viņš tiem dzinās pakaļ un sagūstīja tos divus Midijaniešu ķēniņus, Zebu un Calmunu, un izbiedēja visu to karaspēku.
13 And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle before the sun was up,
Tad Gideons, Joasa dēls, griezās atpakaļ no kaušanās, pirms saule uzlēca.
14 And caught a young man of the men of Succoth, and enquired of him: and he described unto him the princes of Succoth, and the elders thereof, even threescore and seventeen men.
Un viņš sagūstīja vienu puisi no Sukotas vīriem un to vaicāja; un tas viņam uzrakstīja Sukotas virsniekus un viņas vecajus, septiņdesmit un septiņus vīrus.
15 And he came unto the men of Succoth, and said, Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, with whom ye did upbraid me, saying, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we should give bread unto thy men that are weary?
Tad viņš nāca pie tiem Sukotas vīriem un sacīja: redz še ir Zebus un Calmunus, kādēļ jūs mani esat apsmējuši sacīdami: vai tad Zebus un Calmunus dūre jau ir tavā rokā, ka mums taviem piekusušiem vīriem būs maizes dot?
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.
Un viņš ņēma tās pilsētas vecajus un tuksneša ērkšķus un dadžus un pārmācīja Sukotas vīrus.
17 And he beat down the tower of Penuel, and slew the men of the city.
Un Pnuēles torni viņš noārdīja un nokāva tās pilsētas ļaudis.
18 Then said he unto Zebah and Zalmunna, What manner of men were they whom ye slew at Tabor? And they answered, As thou art, so were they; each one resembled the children of a king.
Un viņš sacīja uz Zebu un Calmunu: kas tie bija par vīriem, ko jūs Tāborā nokāvāt? Un tie sacīja: tie bija tādi kā tu, visi tādā vaigā, kā ķēniņa bērni.
19 And he said, They were my brethren, even the sons of my mother: as Yhwh liveth, if ye had saved them alive, I would not slay you.
Un viņš sacīja: tie bija mani brāļi, manas mātes dēli; tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs dzīvo, ja jūs tos būtu atstājuši dzīvus, es jūs nenokautu.
20 And he said unto Jether his firstborn, Up, and slay them. But the youth drew not his sword: for he feared, because he was yet a youth.
Un viņš sacīja uz Jeteru, savu pirmdzimto: celies, nokauj tos. Bet tas zēns neizvilka savu zobenu, jo viņš bijās, tāpēc ka vēl bija jauns.
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 away the ornaments that were on their camels’ necks.
Tad Zebus un Calmunus sacīja: celies pats un sit mūs, jo kāds vīrs, tāds spēks. Tad Gideons cēlās un nokāva Zebu un Calmunu un paņēma tās sprādzes, kas bija ap viņu kamieļu kakliem.
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 delivered us from the hand of Midian.
Un Israēla vīri sacīja uz Gideonu: valdi pār mums, tu un tavs dēls un tava dēla dēls, tāpēc ka tu mūs esi atpestījis no Midijana rokas.
23 And Gideon said unto them, I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you: Yhwh shall rule over you.
Bet Gideons uz tiem sacīja: es negribu pār jums valdīt, nedz mans dēls pār jums valdīs; Tas Kungs pār jums valdīs.
24 And Gideon said unto them, I would desire a request of you, that ye would give me every man the earrings of his prey. ( For they had golden earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.)
Un Gideons uz tiem sacīja: es no jums ko prasīšu: dodiet man ikviens vienu ausu sprādzi no sava laupījuma. Jo tiem bija zelta ausu sprādzes, tāpēc ka tie bija Ismaēlieši.
25 And they answered, We will willingly give them. And they spread a garment, and did cast therein every man the earrings of his prey.
Un tie sacīja: mēs dosim. Un tie izklāja drēbi un meta uz to ikkatrs vienu ausu sprādzi no sava laupījuma.
26 And the weight of the golden earrings that he requested was a thousand and seven hundred shekels of gold; beside ornaments, and collars, and purple raiment that was on the kings of Midian, and beside the chains that were about their camels’ necks.
Un to zelta ausu sprādžu svars, ko viņš bija prasījis, bija tūkstoš un septiņi simti zelta sēķeļi, bez tām sprādzēm un ķēdēm un tām purpura drēbēm, kas Midijaniešu ķēniņiem bija mugurā, un bez tām kakla saitēm, kas bija pie viņu kamieļu kakliem.
27 And Gideon made an ephod thereof, and put it in his city, even in Ophrah: and all Israel went thither a whoring after it: which thing became a snare unto Gideon, and to his house.
Un Gideons no tā taisīja efodu, un to nolika Ovrā, savā pilsētā, un viss Israēls tur tam maukoja pakaļ, un tas Gideonam un viņa namam palika par slazda valgu. -
28 Thus was Midian subdued before the children of Israel, so that they lifted up their heads no more. And the country was in quietness forty years in the days of Gideon.
Tā Midijanieši tapa pazemoti priekš Israēla bērniem un nepacēla vairs savu galvu. Un zemei bija miers četrdesmit gadus, kamēr Gideons dzīvoja.
29 And Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and dwelt in his own house.
Un JerubBaāls, Joasa dēls, nogāja un dzīvoja savā namā.
30 And Gideon had threescore and ten sons of his body begotten: for he had many wives.
Un Gideonam bija septiņdesmit dēli, kas no viņa gurniem nākuši, jo viņam bija daudz sievas;
31 And his concubine that was in Shechem, she also bare him a son, whose name he called Abimelech.
Un viņa liekā sieva, kas bija Šehemē, arīdzan viņam dzemdēja dēlu, un viņš tam vārdu nosauca Abimeleks.
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 Abi–ezrites.
Un Gideons, Joasa dēls, nomira labā vecumā un tapa aprakts sava tēva Joasa kapā, Abiēzeriešu Ovrā.
33 And it came to pass, as soon as Gideon was dead, that the children of Israel turned again, and went a whoring after Baalim, and made Baal–berith their god.
Un kad Gideons bija nomiris, tad Israēla bērni nogriezās un maukoja Baāliem pakaļ un iecēla to BaālBeritu sev par dievu.
34 And the children of Israel remembered not Yhwh their God, who had delivered them out of the hands of all their enemies on every side:
Un Israēla bērni nepieminēja To Kungu, savu Dievu, kas tos bija izglābis no visu ienaidnieku rokas visapkārt.
35 Neither shewed they kindness to the house of Jerubbaal, namely, Gideon, according to all the goodness which he had shewed unto Israel.
Un tie nedarīja žēlastību pie JerubBaāla, tas ir Gideona, nama, pēc visa tā labuma, ko viņš bija darījis pie Israēla.
