< Judges 8 >
1 And the men of Ephraim say to him, “What [is] this thing you have done to us—not to call for us when you went to fight with Midian?” And they strive with him severely;
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 says to them, “What have I now done like you? Are the gleanings of Ephraim not better than the harvest 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 has given the heads of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb, into your hand; and what have I been able to do like you?” Then their temper desisted from off him in his speaking this thing.
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 comes to the Jordan, passing over, he and the three hundred men who [are] with him—wearied, yet pursuing—
Un Gideons nāca pie Jardānes, un gāja pāri ar tiem trīssimt vīriem, kas pie viņa bija, piekusuši no pakaļ dzīšanās.
5 and he says to the men of Succoth, “Please give cakes of bread to the people who [are] at my feet, for they [are] wearied, 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 heads of Succoth say, “Is the hand of Zebah and Zalmunna now in your hand, that we give bread to your host?”
Tad Sukotas virsnieki sacīja: vai tad Zebus un Calmunus dūre jau ir tavā rokā, ka mums tavam karaspēkam būs maizes dot?
7 And Gideon says, “Therefore—in YHWH’s giving Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand—I have threshed your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness, and with the threshing instruments.”
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 goes up there [to] Penuel, and speaks to them thus; and the men of Penuel answer him as the men of Succoth answered.
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 also speaks to the men of Penuel, saying, “In my turning back in peace, I break down this tower.”
Un viņš arī ar Pnuēles vīriem runāja sacīdams: kad es ar mieru griezīšos atpakaļ, tad es šo torni noārdīšu.
10 And Zebah and Zalmunna [are] in Karkor, and their camps with them, about fifteen thousand, all who are left of all the camp of the sons of the east; and those falling [are] one hundred and twenty thousand men, drawing 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 goes up the way of those who dwell in tents, on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and strikes the camp, and the camp was confident;
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 Zebab and Zalmunna flee, and he pursues after them, and captures the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and he has caused all the camp to tremble.
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 son of Joash turns back from the battle, at the going up of the sun,
Tad Gideons, Joasa dēls, griezās atpakaļ no kaušanās, pirms saule uzlēca.
14 and captures a young man of the men of Succoth, and asks him, and he describes to him the heads of Succoth, and its elderly—seventy-seven 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 comes to the men of Succoth and says, “Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, with whom you reproached me, saying, Is the hand of Zebah and Zalmunna now in your hand that we give bread to your men who [are] wearied?”
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 takes the elderly of the city, and [the] thorns of the wilderness, and the threshing instruments, and teaches the men of Succoth by them,
Un viņš ņēma tās pilsētas vecajus un tuksneša ērkšķus un dadžus un pārmācīja Sukotas vīrus.
17 and he has broken down the Tower of Penuel, and slays the men of the city.
Un Pnuēles torni viņš noārdīja un nokāva tās pilsētas ļaudis.
18 And he says to Zebah and to Zalmunna, “What manner of men [were they] whom you slew in Tabor?” And they say, “As you—so they, [each] one as the form of the king’s sons.”
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 says, “They [were] my brothers—sons of my mother; YHWH lives, if you had kept them alive—I would not kill 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 says to his firstborn Jether, “Rise, slay them”; and the young man has not drawn his sword, for he has been afraid, for he [is] 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 And Zebah and Zalmunna say, “Rise and fall on us; for as the man—his might”; and Gideon rises, and slays Zebah and Zalmunna, and takes the crescents which [are] on the necks of their camels.
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 And the men of Israel say to Gideon, “Rule over us, both you, and your son, and your son’s son, for you have saved 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 says to them, “I do not rule over you, nor does my son rule over you; YHWH rules 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 says to them, “Let me ask a petition of you, and each give to me the ring of his prey, for they have rings of gold, for they [are] 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 say, “We certainly give”; and they spread out the garment, and each casts the ring of his prey there;
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 rings of gold which he asked for is one thousand and seven hundred [shekels] of gold, apart from the crescents, and the pendants, and the purple garments, which [are] on the kings of Midian, and apart from the chains which [are] on the necks of their camels,
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 makes it into an ephod, and sets it up in his city, in Ophrah, and all Israel go whoring after it there, and it is for a snare to 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 And Midian is humbled before the sons of Israel, and have not added to lift up their head; and the land rests [for] 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 Jerubba‘al son of Joash goes and dwells in his own house,
Un JerubBaāls, Joasa dēls, nogāja un dzīvoja savā namā.
30 and there have been seventy sons of Gideon, coming out of his loin, for he had many wives;
Un Gideonam bija septiņdesmit dēli, kas no viņa gurniem nākuši, jo viņam bija daudz sievas;
31 and his concubine, who [is] in Shechem, has borne to him—even she—a son, and he appoints his name Abimelech.
Un viņa liekā sieva, kas bija Šehemē, arīdzan viņam dzemdēja dēlu, un viņš tam vārdu nosauca Abimeleks.
32 And Gideon son of Joash dies, in a good old age, and is buried in the burying-place of his father Joash, in Ophrah of the Abi-Ezrite.
Un Gideons, Joasa dēls, nomira labā vecumā un tapa aprakts sava tēva Joasa kapā, Abiēzeriešu Ovrā.
33 And it comes to pass, when Gideon [is] dead, that the sons of Israel turn back and go whoring after the Ba‘alim, and set Ba‘al-Berith over them for a god;
Un kad Gideons bija nomiris, tad Israēla bērni nogriezās un maukoja Baāliem pakaļ un iecēla to BaālBeritu sev par dievu.
34 and the sons of Israel have not remembered their God YHWH, who is delivering them out of the hand of all their surrounding enemies,
Un Israēla bērni nepieminēja To Kungu, savu Dievu, kas tos bija izglābis no visu ienaidnieku rokas visapkārt.
35 neither have they done kindness with the house of Jerubba‘al—Gideon—according to all the good which he did with Israel.
Un tie nedarīja žēlastību pie JerubBaāla, tas ir Gideona, nama, pēc visa tā labuma, ko viņš bija darījis pie Israēla.
