Judges 6
1 And the sons of Israel do evil in the eyes of YHWH, and YHWH gives them into the hand of Midian [for] seven years,
И сотвориша сынове Израилевы злое пред Господем, и предаде их Господь в руку Мадиамлю седмь лет.
2 and the hand of Midian is strong against Israel, [so] the sons of Israel have made for themselves the nooks which [are] in the mountains, and the caves, and the strongholds [to hide] from the presence of Midian.
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 it has been, if Israel has sowed, that Midian has come up, and Amalek, and the sons of the east, indeed, they have come up against him,
И бысть егда сеяше муж Израилев, и восхождаше Мадиам и Амалик и сынове восточнии, и восхождаху на него,
4 and encamp against them, and destroy the increase of the land until your entering Gaza; and they leave no sustenance in Israel, either sheep, or ox, or donkey;
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 and their livestock come up, with their tents; they come in as the fullness of the locust for multitude, and of them and of their livestock there is no number, and they come 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 is very weak from the presence of Midian, and the sons of Israel cry to YHWH.
И обнища Израиль зело от лица Мадиамля.
7 And it comes to pass, when the sons of Israel have cried to YHWH concerning Midian,
И возопиша сынове Израилевы ко Господу: и бысть егда возопиша сынове Израилевы ко Господу Мадиама ради,
8 that YHWH sends a man, a prophet, to the sons of Israel, and he says to them, “Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: I have brought you up out of Egypt, and I bring you out from a house of servants,
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 deliver you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all your oppressors, and I cast them out from your presence, and I give their land to you,
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 say to you, I [am] your God YHWH, you do not fear the gods of the Amorite in whose land you are dwelling—and you have not listened to 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 the Messenger of YHWH comes and sits under the oak which [is] in Ophrah, which [is] to Joash the Abi-Ezrite, and his son Gideon is beating out wheat in the winepress, to remove [it] from the presence of 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 Messenger of YHWH appears to him and says to him, “YHWH [is] with you, O mighty man of valor.”
И явися ему Ангел Господень и рече к нему: Господь с тобою, сильный крепостию.
13 And Gideon says to Him, “O my Lord, [if] YHWH is indeed with us, then why has all this found us? And where [are] all His wonders which our fathers recounted to us, saying, Has YHWH not brought us up out of Egypt? And now YHWH has left us, and gives us into the hand of Midian.”
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 YHWH turns to him and says, “Go in this—your power; and you have saved Israel out of the hand of Midian—have I not sent you?”
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 says to Him, “O my Lord, with what do I save Israel? Behold, my chief [is] weak in Manasseh, and I [am] the least in the house of my father.”
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 YHWH says to him, “Because I am with you—you have struck the Midianites as one man.”
И рече к нему Господь: понеже Аз буду с тобою, и избиеши Мадиама яко мужа единаго.
17 And he says to Him, “Now if I have found grace in Your eyes, then You have done a sign for me that You are speaking 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 Please do not move from here until my coming to You, and I have brought out my present, and put it before You”; and He says, “I abide until your return.”
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 has gone in, and prepares a kid of the goats, and an ephah of flour [worth] of unleavened things; he has put the flesh in a basket, and he has put the broth in a pot, and he brings [them] out to Him, to the place of the oak, and brings [them] near.
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 Messenger of God says to him, “Take the flesh and the unleavened things, and place [them] on this rock—and pour out the broth”; and he does 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 And the Messenger of YHWH puts forth the end of the staff which [is] in His hand, and comes against the flesh, and against the unleavened things, and the fire goes up out of the rock and consumes the flesh and the unleavened things—and the Messenger of YHWH has gone from his eyes.
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 Gideon sees that He [is] the Messenger of YHWH, and Gideon says, “Aah, Lord YHWH! For so I have looked on the Messenger of YHWH 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 YHWH says to him, “Peace to you; do not fear; you do not die.”
И рече ему Господь: мир тебе, и не бойся, не умреши.
24 And Gideon builds an altar to YHWH there, and calls it YHWH-Shalom, it [is] yet in Ophrah of the Abi-Ezrites to this day.
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 comes to pass, on that night, that YHWH says to him, “Take the young ox which your father has, and the second bullock of seven years, and you have thrown down the altar of Ba‘al which your father has, and cut down the Asherah which [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 you have built an altar to your God YHWH on the top of this stronghold, by the arrangement, and have taken the second bullock, and caused a burnt-offering to ascend with the wood of the Asherah which you 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 And Gideon takes ten men of his servants, and does as YHWH has spoken to him, and it comes to pass, because he has been afraid of the house of his father, and the men of the city, to do [it] by day, that he does [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 the men of the city rise early in the morning, and behold, the altar of Ba‘al has been broken down, and the Asherah which is by it has been cut down, and the second bullock has been offered on the altar which is 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 say to one another, “Who has done this thing?” And they inquire and seek, and they say, “Gideon son of Joash has 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 And the men of the city say to Joash, “Bring out your son, and he dies, because he has broken down the altar of Ba‘al, and because he has cut down the Asherah which [is] 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 says to all who have stood against him, “You, do you plead for Ba‘al? You—do you save him? He who pleads for him is put to death during the morning; if he [is] a god he pleads against him himself, because he has broken 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 And he calls him, on that day, Jerubba‘al, saying, “The Ba‘al pleads against him, because he has broken down his altar.”
И прозва его в той день Иероваалом, глаголя: да отмстит на нем Ваал, яко раскопа олтарь его.
33 And all Midian and Amalek and the sons of the east have been gathered together, and pass over, and encamp in the Valley of Jezreel,
И весь Мадиам и Амалик и сынове востоков снидошася вкупе, и преидоша (реку), и ополчишася в долине Иезраель.
34 and the Spirit of YHWH has clothed Gideon, and he blows with a horn, and Abi-Ezer is called after him;
И Дух Божий укрепи Гедеона, и воструби рогом, и возопи Авиезер вслед его.
35 and he has sent messengers into all Manasseh, and it is also called after him; and he has sent messengers into Asher, and into Zebulun, and into Naphtali, and they come 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 says to God, “If You are Savior of Israel by my hand, as You have spoken,
И рече Гедеон к Богу: аще Ты спасаеши рукою моею Израиля, якоже глаголал еси,
37 behold, I am placing the fleece of wool in the threshing-floor: if dew is only on the fleece, and dryness on all the earth—then I have known that You save Israel by my hand, as You have spoken”;
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 is so, and he rises early on the next day, and presses the fleece, and wrings dew out of the fleece—the fullness of the bowl of waters.
И бысть тако: и урани Гедеон наутрие, и исцеди руно, и истече роса из руна, исполнен окрин воды.
39 And Gideon says to God, “Do not let Your anger burn against me, and I only speak this time; please let me try only this time with the fleece—please let there be only dryness on the fleece, and let there be dew on all the earth.”
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 does so on that night, and there is only dryness on the fleece, and there has been dew on all the earth.
И сотвори Бог тако в нощи той: и бысть суша на руне токмо, и по всей земли бысть роса.
