< 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.
И урани Јеровал, то је Гедеон, и сав народ што беше с њим, и стадоше у логор код извора Арода; а војска мадијанска беше му са севера крај горе Мореха у долини.
2 YHWH 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.'
А Господ рече Гедеону: Много је народа с тобом, зато им нећу дати Мадијане у руке, да се не би хвалио Израиљ супрот мени говорећи: Моја ме рука избави.
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.
Него сада огласи да чује народ и реци: Ко се боји и кога је страх, нека се врати и нек иде одмах ка гори Галаду. И врати се из народа двадесет и две хиљаде; а десет хиљада оста.
4 YHWH 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.
Опет рече Господ Гедеону: Још је много народа; сведи их на воду, и онде ћу ти их пребрати; за ког ти год кажем: Тај нека иде с тобом, нека иде с тобом; а за кога ти год кажем: Тај нека не иде с тобом, нека не иде.
5 So he brought down the people to the water. And YHWH 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."
И сведе народ на воду; а Господ рече Гедеону: Који стане лаптати језиком воду, као што лапће пас, метни га на страну; тако и сваког који клекне на колена да пије.
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.
И оних који лапташе, руком својом к устима принесавши воду, беше три стотине људи; а сав остали народ клече на колена своја да пију воде.
7 YHWH 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."
Тада рече Господ Гедеону: С тих триста људи који лапташе воду избавићу вас и предаћу ти у руке Мадијане; нека дакле одлази сав овај народ свако на своје место.
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.
И народ узе брашњенице и трубе; и Гедеон отпусти све људе Израиљце да иду сваки у свој шатор, а оних триста људи задржа. А логор мадијански беше ниже њега у долини.
9 It happened the same night, that YHWH said to him, "Arise, get down into the camp; for I have delivered it into your hand.
И ону ноћ рече му Господ: Устани, сиђи у логор, јер ти га дадох у руке.
10 But if you fear to go down, go with Purah your servant down to the camp:
Ако ли се бојиш сам сићи, сиђи у логор са Фуром момком својим,
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.
И чућеш шта говоре, па ће ти осилити руке и ударићеш на логор. И сиђе он и Фура момак његов до краја војске која беше у логору.
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.
А Мадијани и Амалици и сав народ источни лежаху по долини као скакавци, тако их беше много; и камилама њиховим не беше броја; беше их много као песка по брегу морском,
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."
И кад дође Гедеон, а то један приповедаше другу свом сан и говораше: Гле усних, а то печен хлеб јечмен котрљаше се к логору мадијанском и дође до шатора и стаде ударати о њих, те падаху, и испремета их, и попадаше шатори.
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."
А друг му одговори и рече: То није друго него мач Гедеона сина Јоасовог човека Израиљца; предао му је у руке Бог Мадијане и сав овај логор.
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 YHWH has delivered into your hand the army of Midian."
И кад Гедеон чу како онај приповеди сан и како га овај истумачи, поклони се и врати се у логор израиљски и рече: Устајте, јер вам даде Господ у руке логор мадијански.
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.
Потом раздели триста људи у три чете, и даде свакоме по трубу у руку и по празан жбан и по луч у жбан.
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.
И рече им: На мене гледајте, па тако чините; гле, је ћу доћи на крај логора, па шта ја ушчиним, то чините.
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 YHWH and for Gideon."
Кад ја затрубим у трубу и сви који буду са мном, тада и ви затрубите у трубе око свега логора, и вичите: Мач Господњи и Гедеонов.
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.
И дође Гедеон и сто људи што беху с њим на крај логора, у почетак средње страже, истом беху променили стражу; а они затрубеше у трубе и полупаше жбанове које имаху у рукама.
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 YHWH and of Gideon.'"
Тако три чете затрубише у трубе и полупаше жбанове, и држаху у левој руци лучеве а у десној трубе трубећи, и повикаше: Мач Господњи и Гедеонов.
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.
И стадоше сваки на свом месту око војске; а сва се војска смете и стадоше викати и бежати.
22 They blew the three hundred trumpets, and YHWH 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.
А кад затрубише у трубе оних три стотине, Господ обрати мач свакоме на друга његовог по свему логору, те побеже војска до Вет-Асете, у Зерерат, до обале авел-меолске код Тавата.
23 The men of Israel were gathered together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after Midian.
А Израиљци из племена Нефталимовог и Асирова и из свега племена Манасијиног стекоше се и гонише Мадијане.
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.
И Гедеон посла гласнике по свој гори Јефремовој говорећи: Сиђите пред Мадијане и ухватите им воде до Ветваре дуж Јордана. И стекоше се сви људи из племена Јефремовог и ухватише воде до Ветваре дуж Јордана.
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.
И ухватише два кнеза мадијанска, Орива и Зива, и убише Орива на стени Оривовој, а Зива убише код теснаца Зивовог; и гонише Мадијане, и донесоше главу Оривову и Зивову ка Гедеону преко Јордана.
