< Judges 7 >
1 And Jerubba‘al (he [is] Gideon) rises early, and all the people who [are] with him, and they encamp by the well of Harod, and the camp of Midian has been on the south of him, on the height of Moreh, in the valley.
И обутренева Иероваал, сей есть Гедеон, и вси людие иже с ним, и ополчишася у источника Арад: и полк Мадиамль и Амаликов бяше ему с севера на холме Мосе Гавааф-Аморе в долине.
2 And YHWH says to Gideon, “The people who [are] with you [are] too many for My giving Midian into their hand, lest Israel beautify itself against Me, saying, My hand has given salvation to me;
И рече Господь к Гедеону: мнози людие иже с тобою, сего ради не предам Мадиама в руку их, да не когда похвалится Израиль на Мя, глаголя: рука моя спасе мя:
3 and now, please call in the ears of the people, saying, Whoever [is] afraid and trembling, let him turn back and go early from Mount Gilead”; and there return twenty-two thousand of the people, and ten thousand have been left.
и ныне рцы во ушы людем, глаголя: кто боязлив и ужастив, да возвратится и да отидет от горы Галаадовы. И возвратишася от людий двадесять две тысящы, и десять тысящ осташася.
4 And YHWH says to Gideon, “The people [are] yet too many; bring them down to the water, and I refine him for you there; and it has been, he of whom I say to you, This goes with you—he goes with you; and any of whom I say to you, This does not go with you—he does not go.”
И рече Господь к Гедеону: еще людие мнози суть: сведи я на воду, и искушу тебе их тамо: и будет егоже аще реку тебе, сей да идет с тобою, той да пойдет с тобою: и всяк егоже аще реку тебе, сей да не пойдет с тобою, той да не пойдет с тобою.
5 And he brings the people down to the water, and YHWH says to Gideon, “Everyone who laps of the water with his tongue as the dog laps—you set him apart; also everyone who bows on his knees to drink.”
И сведе люди на воду, и рече Господь к Гедеону: всяк иже полочет языком своим от воды, якоже лочет пес, да поставиши его особь: и всяк иже на колену падет пити, отлучи его особь.
6 And the number of those lapping with their hand to their mouth is three hundred men, and all the rest of the people have bowed down on their knees to drink water.
И бысть число в горстех локавших языком триста мужей: и вси оставшии людие преклонишася на колена своя пити воду.
7 And YHWH says to Gideon, “I save you by the three hundred men who are lapping, and have given Midian into your hand, and all the people go, each to his place.”
И рече Господь к Гедеону: треми сты мужей локавшими воду спасу вас, и предам Мадиама в руку твою: и вси людие да пойдут, кийждо на место свое.
8 And the people take the provision in their hand, and their horns, and he has sent every man of Israel away, each to his tents; and he has kept hold on the three hundred men, and the camp of Midian has been by him at the lower part of the valley.
И взяша себе брашно от людий в руку свою и роги своя: и всякаго мужа Израилтеска отпусти коегождо в кущу свою, а триста мужей удержа: полк же Мадиамль бяше ниже его в долине.
9 And it comes to pass, on that night, that YHWH says to him, “Rise, go down into the camp, for I have given it into your hand;
И бысть в ту нощь, и рече к нему Господь: востав сниди отсюду скоро в полк, яко предах их в руку твою:
10 and if you are afraid to go down—go down, you and your young man Phurah, to the camp,
и аще боишися ты снити, сниди ты и Фара раб твой в полк,
11 and you have heard what they speak, and afterward your hands are strengthened, and you have gone down against the camp.” And he goes down, he and his young man Phurah, to the extremity of the fifties who [are] in the camp;
и услышиши, что возглаголют: и по сем укрепятся руце твои, и снидеши в полк. И сниде сам и Фара раб его в часть пятьдесятников, иже быша в полце.
12 and Midian, and Amalek, and all the sons of the east are lying in the valley, as the locust for multitude, and of their camels there is no number, as sand which [is] on the seashore for multitude.
И Мадиам и Амалик и вси сынове востоков стояху в долине яко прузи множеством, и велблюдом их не бяше числа, но бяху яко песок на краи морстем множеством.
13 And Gideon comes in, and behold, a man is recounting a dream to his companion, and says, “Behold, I have dreamed a dream, and behold, a cake of barley-bread is turning itself over into the camp of Midian, and it comes to the tent, and strikes it, and it falls, and turns it upwards, and the tent has fallen.”
И вниде Гедеон, и се, муж поведаше сон подругу своему, и рече: сей сон егоже видех, и се, тесто хлеба ячна валяющееся в полце Мадиамли, и привалися к кущи Мадиамли, и поби ю, и преврати ю, и паде куща.
14 And his companion answers and says, “This is nothing except the sword of Gideon son of Joash, a man of Israel; God has given Midian and all the camp into his hand.”
И отвеща подруг его и рече: несть (сие тесто), но мечь Гедеона сына Иоасова мужа Израилева: предаде Бог в руку его Мадиама и весь полк.
15 And it comes to pass, when Gideon hears the narration of the dream and its interpretation, that he bows himself, and turns back to the camp of Israel, and says, “Rise, for YHWH has given the camp of Midian into your hand.”
И бысть яко услыша Гедеон поведание сна и разсуждение его, и поклонися Господеви, и возвратися в полк Израилев и рече: востаните, яко предаде Господь в руки нашя полк Мадиамль.
16 And he divides the three hundred men [into] three detachments, and puts horns into the hand of all of them, and empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers.
И раздели триста мужей на три началства, и вдаде роги в руце всем, и водоносы тщы, и свещы среде водоносов,
17 And he says to them, “Look at me, and thus do; and behold, I am coming into the extremity of the camp—and it has been—as I do so you do;
и рече им: мене смотрите, и такожде творите: и се, аз вниду в часть полка, и будет якоже сотворю, такожде сотворите:
18 and I have blown with a horn—I and all who [are] with me, and you have blown with horns, even you, around all the camp, and have said, For YHWH and for Gideon!”
и аз вострублю рогом, и вси иже со мною, да вострубите и вы в роги окрест всего полка, и да речете: (мечь) Богу и Гедеону.
19 And Gideon comes—and the hundred men who [are] with him—into the extremity of the camp, [at] the beginning of the middle watch (they had just posted watchmen), and they blow with horns—also dashing in pieces the pitchers which [are] in their hand;
И вниде Гедеон и сто мужей иже с ним в часть полка в начале стражи средния: и убужением возбудиша стрегущих, и вострубиша в роги, и сразиша водоносы иже в руках их.
20 and the three detachments blow with horns, and break the pitchers, and keep hold with their left hand on the lamps, and with their right hand on the horns to blow, and they cry, “The sword of YHWH and of Gideon!”
И вострубиша три началства в роги и сокрушиша водоносы, и удержаша в левых руках своих свещы, и в десных руках их роги, в няже трубити: и возопиша: мечь Господеви и Гедеону.
21 And they each stand in his place, around the camp, and all the camp runs, and they shout, and flee;
И сташа кийждо о себе окрест полка: и смятеся весь полк, и возопиша, и побегоша.
22 and the three hundred blow the horns, and YHWH sets the sword of each against his companion, even through all the camp; and the camp flees to Beth-Shittah, at Zererath, to the border of Abel-Meholah, by Tabbath.
И вострубиша в триста рогов: и положи Господь мечь мужа на подруга его во всем полце, и пробеже полк до Вифасетта, и собрася до страны Авелмаула и к Тавафу.
23 And the men of Israel are called from Naphtali, and from Asher, and from all Manasseh, and pursue after Midian.
И возопиша мужие Израилтестии от Неффалима и от Асира и от всего Манассии, и погнаша вслед Мадиама.
24 And Gideon has sent messengers into all the hill-country of Ephraim, saying, “Come down to meet Midian, and capture the waters from them as far as Beth-Barah, and the Jordan”; and every man of Ephraim is called, and they capture the waters as far as Beth-Barah, and the Jordan,
И посла послы Гедеон во всю гору Ефремлю, глаголя: снидите во сретение Мадиаму и удержите им воду до Вефира и Иордана. И воззва всяк муж Ефремль, и предотяша воду до Вефира и Иордана,
25 and they capture two of the heads of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb, and slay Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and they have slain Zeeb at the wine-vat of Zeeb, and they pursue into Midian; and they have brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon beyond the Jordan.
и яша два князя Мадиамля, Орива и Зива: и убиша Орива в Суре, и Зива убиша во Иакефзиве: и погнаша Мадиама, и главу Орива и Зива принесоша к Гедеону от оноя страны Иордана.
