< Judges 7 >
1 Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people who were with him, rose up early, and camped beside the spring of Harod. And the camp of Midian was on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley.
Tad JerubBaāls, tas ir Gideons, un visi ļaudis, kas pie viņa, agri cēlās un apmetās pie Aroda avota, tā ka Midijaniešu karaspēks viņam bija pret ziemeļa pusi, aiz Mores pakalna, ielejā.
2 The LORD said to Gideon, "The people who are with you are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, 'My own hand has saved me.'
Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz Gideonu: Pārāk daudz ļaužu ir pie tevis, nekā Es dotu Midijaniešus viņu rokā; lai Israēls pret Mani nelielās un nesaka: mana roka mani izpestījusi.
3 Now therefore proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, 'Whoever is fearful and trembling, let him return and depart from Mount Gilead.' There returned of the people twenty-two thousand; but ten thousand remained.
Tad izsauc jel to ļaužu ausīs un saki: kas šaubīgs un bailīgs, lai griežas atpakaļ un steidzās projām no Gileāda kalna. Tad no tiem ļaudīm griezās atpakaļ divdesmit divi tūkstoši, un tik desmit tūkstoši atlika.
4 The LORD said to Gideon, "The people are yet too many; bring them down to the water, and I will try them for you there: and it shall be, that of whom I tell you, This shall go with you, the same shall go with you; and of whoever I tell you, This shall not go with you, the same shall not go.
Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz Gideonu: ļaužu vēl ir par daudz; noved tos pie ūdens, tur Es tos tev pārbaudīšu, un par kuru Es uz tevi sacīšu: šim būs iet ar tevi, tas lai iet ar tevi, bet par kuru Es tev sacīšu, tam nebūs iet ar tevi, tas lai neiet.
5 So he brought down the people to the water. And the LORD said to Gideon, "Everyone who laps of the water with his tongue, as a dog laps, you shall put to one side; and everyone who gets down on his knees to drink with hand to mouth shall be on the other side."
Un viņš tos ļaudis noveda pie ūdens. Tad Tas Kungs sacīja uz Gideonu: ikkatru, kas ar savu mēli ūdeni laks, kā suns lok, to nostādi par sevi, un tāpat ikkatru, kas nometīsies ceļos dzert.
6 The number of those who lapped with their tongues was three hundred men, but all the rest of the people got down on their knees to drink water.
Un to pulks, kas no savas rokas pie mutes bija lakuši, bija trīssimt vīri, bet visi citi ļaudis bija ūdeni dzēruši ceļos nometušies.
7 The LORD said to Gideon, "By the three hundred men who lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into your hand; and let all the people go every man to his home."
Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz Gideonu: caur šiem trīs simti vīriem, kas lakuši, Es jūs izpestīšu un nodošu Midijaniešus tavā rokā; tāpēc atlaid visus citus ļaudis, ikvienu uz savu vietu.
8 So the people took food in their hand, and their trumpets; and he sent all the men of Israel every man to his tent, but retained the three hundred men. And the camp of Midian was beneath him in the valley.
Un tie ļaudis ņēma savu maizi savā rokā un savas trumetes, bet visus citus Israēla vīrus viņš atlaida, ikvienu uz savu dzīvokli, un tos trīs simti vīrus viņš paturēja, un Midijaniešu karaspēks viņam bija ielejas pusē.
9 It happened the same night, that the LORD said to him, "Arise, get down into the camp; for I have delivered it into your hand.
Un notika tanī naktī, ka Tas Kungs uz viņu sacīja: celies, noej uz lēģeri, jo Es to esmu devis tavā rokā.
10 But if you fear to go down, go with Purah your servant down to the camp:
Bet ja tev ir bail noiet, tad noej uz to lēģeri tu un Purus, tavs puisis,
11 and you shall hear what they say; and afterward will your hands be strengthened to go down into the camp." Then he went down with Purah his servant to the outermost part of the armed men who were in the camp.
Tad tu dzirdēsi, ko tie runā, un pēc tam tavas rokas stiprināsies, un tu celsies pret to lēģeri. Tad viņš nogāja ar Puru, savu puisi, pie tiem pirmiem apbruņotiem, kas bija lēģerī.
12 And Midian, Amalek, and all the Kedemites lay along in the valley as numerous as locusts; and their camels were without number, as numerous as the sand which is on the seashore.
Un Midijanieši un Amalekieši un visi tie austruma bērni gulēja ielejā kā siseņu pulks, un viņu kamieļu pulku nevarēja skaitīt, kā smiltis jūrmalā.
13 When Gideon had come, look, there was a man telling a dream to his friend; and he said, "Look, I had a dream, and look, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian, and came to the tent, and struck it so that it fell, and turned it upside down, so that the tent collapsed."
Kad nu Gideons nonāca, redzi, tur viens savam biedram stāstīja sapni un sacīja: redzi, es esmu sapni redzējis, un redzi, cepta miežu maize vēlās Midijaniešu lēģerī un atnāca līdz pat teltij un to sita, ka tā krita, un to pavisam apgāza, un telts gulēja (pie zemes).
14 His friend answered, "This is nothing less than the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel. Into his hand God has delivered Midian, and all the army."
Tad viņa biedrs atbildēja un sacīja: tas nav nekas cits, kā Gideona, Joasa dēla, tā Israēlieša, zobens; Dievs Midijaniešus un visu šo lēģeri devis viņa rokā.
15 It was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and its interpretation, that he worshiped, and he returned into the camp of Israel, and said, "Get up, for the LORD has delivered into your hand the army of Midian."
Un kad Gideons dzirdēja šā sapņa stāstīšanu un izskaidrošanu, tad viņš pielūdza Dievu, griezās atpakaļ uz Israēla lēģeri un sacīja: ceļaties, jo Tas Kungs Midijaniešu karaspēku devis jūsu rokās.
16 He divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put into the hands of all of them trumpets, and empty pitchers, with torches within the pitchers.
Un viņš dalīja tos trīs simtI vīrus trijos pulkos, un deva visiem trumetes un tukšas krūzes rokā un lāpas krūzēs.
17 He said to them, "Look at me, and do likewise. And look, when I come to the outermost part of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so you shall do.
Un viņš uz tiem sacīja: skatāties uz mani un tā dariet; un redzi, kad es nākšu pie lēģera malas, tad dariet jūs tā, kā es daru.
18 When I blow the trumpet, I and all who are with me, then you blow the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, "For the LORD and for Gideon."
Kad es trumetēšu, es un visi, kas pie manis, tad jums arīdzan būs trumetēt ap visu lēģeri un saukt: Tā Kunga un Gideona (zobens)!
19 So Gideon and the hundred men who were with him came to the outermost part of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch, when they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and broke in pieces the pitchers that were in their hands.
Tad Gideons un tie simts vīri ar viņu nāca pie lēģera malas ap nakts vidu, kad nule sargi bija mainīti, un tie pūta trumetēs un sadauzīja tās krūzes savās rokās.
20 The three companies blew the trumpets, and broke the pitchers, and held the torches in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands with which to blow; and they called out, "The sword of the LORD and of Gideon.'"
Tā tie trīs pulki pūta trumetēs un sadauzīja tās krūzes un turēja ar kreiso roku tās lāpas un savā labajā rokā tās trumetes un pūta un kliedza: Tā Kunga un Gideona zobens.
21 They each stood in his place every man around the camp; and all the army ran; and they shouted, and put them to flight.
Un tie stāvēja ikviens savā vietā ap to lēģeri. Tad viss karaspēks sāka skriet un tie brēca un bēga.
22 They blew the three hundred trumpets, and the LORD set every man's sword against each other throughout the camp; and the army fled as far as Beth Shittah toward Zererah, as far as the border of Abel Meholah, by Tabbath.
Jo kad tie trīs simti vīri trumetēs pūta, tad Tas Kungs grieza viena zobenu pret otru visā lēģerī, un tas karaspēks bēga līdz BetZitai uz Careratas pusi, līdz AbelMeolas robežai pie Tābatas.
23 The men of Israel were gathered together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after Midian.
Tad Israēla vīri tapa sasaukti no Naftalus un no Ašera un no visa Manasus, un tie dzinās pakaļ Midijanam.
24 Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill country of Ephraim, saying, "Come down against Midian, and capture the waters, as far as Beth Barah, even the Jordan." So all the men of Ephraim were gathered together, and seized the waters as far as Beth Barah, even the Jordan.
Un Gideons sūtīja vēstnešus uz visiem Efraīma kalniem un sacīja: nonāciet pretī Midijaniešiem un aizstājiet tiem to ūdeni līdz Betbarai un Jardāni. Tā visi Efraīma vīri tika sasaukti un aizstāja to ūdeni līdz Betbarai un Jardāni.
25 They took the two princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb; and they killed Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and Zeeb they killed at the winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian. Then they brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon beyond the Jordan.
Un tie gūstīja divus Midijaniešu valdniekus, Orebu un Zeēbu, un nokāva Orebu pie Oreb akmens, un Zeēbu tie nokāva pie Zeēba spaida un dzinās pakaļ Midijanam un nonesa Oreba un Zeēba galvas pie Gideona viņpus Jardānes.
