Judges 8
1 And the men of Ephraim said unto him, What is this thing that thou hast done unto us, not to call for us, when thou wentest to fight with the Midianites? And they quarrelled with him vehemently.
Možje iz Efrájima so mu rekli: »Zakaj si nam tako služil, da nas nisi poklical, ko si odhajal, da bi se bojeval z Midjánci?« In ostro so se pričkali z njim.
2 And he said unto them, What have I done now in comparison with you? Is not the gleaning of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abi'ezer?
Rekel jim je: »Kaj sem torej storil v primerjavi z vami? Mar ni Efrájimovo paberkovanje boljše kakor Abiézerjeva trgatev?
3 Into your hand God delivered the princes of Midian, 'Oreb and Zeeb: and what have I been able to do in comparison with you? Then was their anger abated from him, when he had spoken this speech.
Bog je v vaše roke izročil midjánska princa, Oréba in Zeéba. Kaj sem bil jaz zmožen storiti v primerjavi z vami?« Potem ko jim je to rekel, se je njihova jeza zoper njega zmanjšala.
4 And Gid'on came to the Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, and in pursuit.
Gideón je prišel do Jordana ter ga prečkal, on in tristo mož, ki so bili z njim, slabotni, vendar so jih zasledovali.
5 And he said unto the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, a few loaves of bread unto the people that are in my train; for they are faint, and I am pursuing after Zebach and Zalmunna,' the kings of Midian.
Možem iz Sukóta je rekel: »Dajte, prosim vas, hlebe kruha ljudstvu, ki mi sledi, kajti oslabeli so in jaz zasledujem midjánska kralja Zebaha in Calmunája.«
6 And the princes of Succoth said, Is the sole of the foot of Zebach and Zalmunna' now already in thy hand, that we should give unto thy army bread?
Princi iz Sukóta so rekli: » Mar so roke Zebaha in Calmunája sedaj v tvoji roki, da bi tvoji vojski dali kruha?«
7 And Gid'on said, Therefore when the Lord hath delivered Zebach and Zalmunna' into my hand, then will I thresh your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.
Gideón je rekel: »Torej ko Gospod Zebaha in Calmunája izroči v mojo roko, potem bom vaše meso raztrgal s trnjem iz divjine in z osatom.«
8 And he went up thence to Penuel, and spoke unto them in the same manner: and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered.
Od tam je odšel gor do Penuéla in jim podobno govoril. Ljudje iz Penuéla so mu odgovorili podobno kot ljudje iz Sukóta.
9 And he said also unto the men of Penuel thus, When I return again in peace, I will break down this tower.
Govoril je tudi ljudem iz Penuéla, rekoč: »Ko ponovno pridem v miru, bom porušil ta stolp.«
10 Now Zebach and Zalmunna' were in Karkor, and their camps with them, about fifteen thousand men, all that had been left of all the camp of the children of the east; but those who had fallen were one hundred and twenty thousand men that drew the sword.
Torej Zebah in Calmunáj sta bila v Karkórju in njune vojske z njima, okoli petnajst tisoč mož, vsi, ki so preostali od vseh vojsk otrok vzhoda, kajti tam je padlo sto dvajset tisoč mož, ki so izdirali meč.
11 And Gid'on went up by the way of those that dwelt in tents, to the east of Nobach and Yogbehah, and smote the camp; but the camp thought itself secure.
Gideón je odšel gor po poti tistih, ki so prebivali v šotorih vzhodno od Nobaha in Jogbóhe in udaril vojsko, kajti vojska je bila brezskrbna.
12 And Zebach and Zalmunna' fled; but he pursued after them, and captured the two kings of Midian, Zebach and Zalmunna', and all the camp he discomfited.
Ko sta Zebah in Calmunáj pobegnila, ju je zasledoval in zajel dva midjánska kralja, Zebaha in Calmunája ter porazil vso vojsko.
13 And Gid'on the son of Joash returned from the battle before the rising of the sun,
Joášev sin Gideón se je vrnil iz bitke, preden je vzšlo sonce.
14 And he caught a young man of the people of Succoth, and inquired of him: and he wrote down for him the princes of Succoth, and the elders thereof, seventy and seven men.
Ujel je mladeniča izmed ljudi iz Sukóta in od njega poizvedel in ta mu je opisal prince iz Sukóta in njihove starešine, celó sedeminsedemdeset mož.
15 And he came unto the men of Succoth, and said, Behold here are Zebach and Zalmunna', with whom ye derided me, saying, Is the sole of the foot of Zebach and Zalmunna' now already in thy hand, that we should give unto thy weary men bread?
Prišel je k možem iz Sukóta in rekel: »Glejte Zebaha in Calmunája, s katerima ste me ošteli, rekoč: ›Mar so roke Zebaha in Calmunája sedaj v tvoji roki, da naj bi dali kruha tvojim možem, ki so izmučeni.‹«
16 And he took the elders of the city, and the thorns of the wilderness and briers, and chastised with them the men of Succoth.
Zgrabil je mestne starešine in trnje iz divjine in osat ter z njimi učil može iz Sukóta.
17 And the tower of Penuel he beat down, and slew the men of the city.
Podrl je stolp v Penuélu in usmrtil može iz mesta.
18 And he said unto Zebach and Zalmunna', What kind of men were those whom ye slew at Tabor! And they answered, As thou art, so were they; one was in form like that of the children of a king.
Potem je Zebahu in Calmunáju rekel: »Kakšne vrste možje so bili tisti, ki sta jih usmrtila pri Taboru?« Odgovorila sta: »Takšni so bili, kot si ti. Vsakdo je bil podoben kraljevemu otroku.«
19 And he said, They were my brothers, the sons of my mother; as the Lord liveth, if ye had spared them alive, I would not slay you.
Rekel je: » Bili so moji bratje, celó sinovi moje matere. Kakor živi Gospod, če bi jih rešila žive, vaju ne bi ubil.«
20 And he said unto Yether his first-born, Rise up, and slay them. But the youth drew not his sword; for he was afraid, because he was yet a youth.
Svojemu prvorojencu Jeterju je rekel: »Vstani in ju ubij.« Toda mladostnik ni izvlekel svojega meča, kajti bal se je, ker je bil še mladostnik.
21 Then said Zebach and Zalmunna', Rise thou, and fall upon us; for as the man is, so is his strength. And Gid'on arose, and slew Zebach and Zalmunna'; and he took away the crescent ornaments that were on the necks of their camels.
Potem sta Zebah in Calmunáj rekla: »Vstani ti in padi na naju, kajti kakršen je mož, takšna je njegova moč.« Gideón je vstal in usmrtil Zebaha in Calmunája in odvzel ornamente, ki so bili na vratovih njunih kamel.
22 And the men of Israel said unto Gid'on, Rule thou over us, both thou and thy son, and thy son's son also; for thou hast delivered us out of the hand of Midian.
Potem so možje iz Izraela rekli Gideónu: »Ti vladaj nad nami, oba, ti in tvoj sin in tudi sin tvojega sina, kajti osvobodil si nas iz roke Midjáncev.«
23 And Gid'on said unto them, I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you: the Lord shall rule over you.
Gideón jim je rekel: »Jaz ne bom vladal nad vami niti ne bo moj sin vladal nad vami. Gospod bo vladal nad vami.«
24 And Gid'on said unto them, I would ask one request of you, that ye should give me every man the earring of his booty; for they had had golden earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.
Gideón jim je rekel: »Od vas bi želel prošnjo, da bi mi dal vsak mož uhane od svojega plena.« (Kajti imeli so zlate uhane, ker so bili Izmaelci.)
25 And they answered, We will willingly give. And they spread out a garment, and they cast therein every man the earring of his booty.
Odgovorili so: »Voljno jih bomo dali.« Razširili so obleko in nanjo je vsak mož vrgel uhane od svojega plena.
26 And the weight of the golden earrings that he had requested was a thousand and seven hundred shekels of gold; besides the crescent ornaments, and ear-drops, and purple garments that were on the kings of Midian, and besides the chains that were about their camels' necks.
Teža zlatih uhanov, ki jih je zahteval, je bila tisoč sedemsto šeklov zlata, poleg ornamentov in obeskov za ušesa in škrlatnega oblačila, ki je bil na midjánskih kraljih in poleg verižic, ki so bile okoli vratov njihovih kamel.
27 And Gid'on made thereof an ephod, and set it up in his city, in 'Ophrah: and all Israel went astray after it thither; and it became a snare unto Gid'on, and to his house.
Gideón je iz njih naredil efód in ga dal v svoje mesto, v Ofro. Ves Izrael se je odšel tja vlačugat za njim. Ta stvar je postala zanka Gideónu in njegovi hiši.
28 And Midian was humbled before the children of Israel, so that they lifted not up their head any more. And the country was quiet forty years in the days of Gid'on.
Tako je bil Midján podjarmljen pred Izraelovimi otroki, tako da niso več vzdignili svojih glav. In dežela je bila v Gideónovih dneh v spokojnosti štirideset let.
29 And Yerubba'al the son of Joash went and dwelt in his own house.
Joášev sin Jerubáal je odšel in prebival v svoji lastni hiši.
30 And Gid'on had seventy sons begotten of his body; for he had many wives.
Gideón je imel sedemdeset sinov, rojenih od njegovega telesa, kajti imel je mnogo žena.
31 And his concubine that was in Shechem, she also bore him a son, and he gave him the name, Abimelech.
Njegova priležnica, ki je bila v Sihemu, mu je prav tako rodila sina, čigar ime je imenoval Abiméleh.
32 And Gid'on 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.
Joášev sin Gideón je umrl v dobri visoki starosti in bil pokopan v mavzoleju njegovega očeta Joáša v Ofri Abiézerjevcev.
33 And it came to pass, when Gid'on was dead, that the children of Israel turned again, and went astray after the Be'alim, and made themselves Ba'al-berith for a god.
Takoj, ko je bil Gideón mrtev, se je pripetilo, da so se Izraelovi otroci ponovno obrnili in se šli vlačugat za Báali in si naredili Baal-berita za svojega boga.
34 And the children of Israel remembered not the Lord their God, who delivered them out of the hand of all their enemies on every side.
Izraelovi otroci se niso spominjali Gospoda, svojega Boga, ki jih je osvobodil iz rok vseh njihovih sovražnikov na vsaki strani
35 Neither showed they kindness to the house of Yerubba'al, namely, Gid'on, in accordance with all the good which he had done unto Israel.
niti niso izkazali prijaznosti Jerubáalovi hiši, namreč Gideónu, glede na vso dobroto, ki jo je izkazal Izraelu.
