Judges 8
1 The men of Ephraim said to him, "Why have you done such a thing to us, not calling us when you went to fight with Midian?" And they argued with him fiercely.
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 He said to them, "What have I now done in comparison with you? Isn't the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?
Tad viņš uz tiem sacīja: vai tad es ko esmu darījis, kā jūs? Vai Efraīma salasas nav labākas nekā Abiēzera savākums.
3 God has delivered into your hand the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb; and what was I able to do in comparison with you?" Then their anger subsided toward him, when he had said that.
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 Gideon came to the Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men who were with him, exhausted and famished.
Un Gideons nāca pie Jardānes, un gāja pāri ar tiem trīssimt vīriem, kas pie viņa bija, piekusuši no pakaļ dzīšanās.
5 He said to the men of Succoth, "Please give loaves of bread to the people who follow me; for they are exhausted, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, the 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 The princes of Succoth said, "Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in your hand, that we should give bread to your army?"
Tad Sukotas virsnieki sacīja: vai tad Zebus un Calmunus dūre jau ir tavā rokā, ka mums tavam karaspēkam būs maizes dot?
7 Gideon said, "Therefore when YHWH has delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, then I will thresh your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers."
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 He went up there to Penuel, and spoke to them in like manner; and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered.
Un viņš gāja no turienes uz Pnuēli un runāja uz tiem tāpat; tad Pnuēles vīri viņam atbildēja, kā Sukotas vīri bija atbildējuši.
9 He spoke also to the men of Penuel, saying, "When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower."
Un viņš arī ar Pnuēles vīriem runāja sacīdams: kad es ar mieru griezīšos atpakaļ, tad es šo torni noārdīšu.
10 Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and their armies with them, about fifteen thousand men, all who were left of all the army of the Kedemites; for there fell one hundred twenty thousand men who drew 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 went up by the way of those who dwell in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, opposite Zebah, and struck the army, when the army was unsuspecting.
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 Zebah and Zalmunna fled, and he pursued after them, and he took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and routed the entire army.
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 Gideon the son of Joash returned from the battle from the ascent of Heres.
Tad Gideons, Joasa dēls, griezās atpakaļ no kaušanās, pirms saule uzlēca.
14 He caught a young man of the men of Succoth, and inquired of him: and he described for him the officials of Succoth, and its elders, 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 He came to the men of Succoth, and said, "Look Zebah and Zalmunna, concerning whom you taunted me, saying, "Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in your hand, that we should give bread to your men who are weary?"
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 He took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness and briers, and with them he threshed the men of Succoth.
Un viņš ņēma tās pilsētas vecajus un tuksneša ērkšķus un dadžus un pārmācīja Sukotas vīrus.
17 He broke down the tower of Penuel, and killed the men of the city.
Un Pnuēles torni viņš noārdīja un nokāva tās pilsētas ļaudis.
18 Then he said to Zebah and Zalmunna, "What kind of men were they whom you killed at Tabor?" They answered, "As you are, so were they; each one resembled the son of a king."
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 He said, "They were my brothers, the sons of my mother. As YHWH lives, if you had saved 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 He said to Jether his firstborn, "Get up, and kill them." But the youth did not draw his sword; for he feared, because he was 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 Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, "Rise up yourself, and kill us, for a man is judged by his strength." Gideon arose, and killed Zebah and Zalmunna, and took the crescent ornaments that were on their camels' necks.
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 Then the men of Israel said to Gideon, "Rule over us, both you, and your son, and your son's son also; for you have saved us out of 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 Gideon said to them, "I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you: YHWH shall rule over you."
Bet Gideons uz tiem sacīja: es negribu pār jums valdīt, nedz mans dēls pār jums valdīs; Tas Kungs pār jums valdīs.
24 Gideon said to them, "I would make a request of you, that you would give me every man the earrings from his plunder." (For they had golden earrings, because they were 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 They answered, "We will willingly give them." They spread a garment, and every one of them threw an earring from his plunder.
Un tie sacīja: mēs dosim. Un tie izklāja drēbi un meta uz to ikkatrs vienu ausu sprādzi no sava laupījuma.
26 The weight of the golden earrings that he requested was one thousand and seven hundred pieces of gold, besides the crescents, and the pendants, and the purple clothing that was on the kings of Midian, and besides the chains that were about their camels' necks.
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 Gideon made an ephod of it, and put it in his city, even in Ophrah: and all Israel prostituted themselves after it there; and it became 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 So Midian was subdued before the children of Israel, and did not become a threat again. The land had rest 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 Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and lived in his own house.
Un JerubBaāls, Joasa dēls, nogāja un dzīvoja savā namā.
30 Gideon had seventy sons conceived from his body; for he had many wives.
Un Gideonam bija septiņdesmit dēli, kas no viņa gurniem nākuši, jo viņam bija daudz sievas;
31 His secondary wife who was in Shechem, she also bore him a son, and he named him Abimelech.
Un viņa liekā sieva, kas bija Šehemē, arīdzan viņam dzemdēja dēlu, un viņš tam vārdu nosauca Abimeleks.
32 Gideon the son of Joash died in a good old age, and was buried in the tomb of Joash his father, in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
Un Gideons, Joasa dēls, nomira labā vecumā un tapa aprakts sava tēva Joasa kapā, Abiēzeriešu Ovrā.
33 It happened, as soon as Gideon was dead, that the children of Israel turned again, and played the prostitute after the Baals, and made Baal Berith their god.
Un kad Gideons bija nomiris, tad Israēla bērni nogriezās un maukoja Baāliem pakaļ un iecēla to BaālBeritu sev par dievu.
34 The children of Israel did not remember YHWH their God, who had delivered them out of the hand of all their enemies on every side;
Un Israēla bērni nepieminēja To Kungu, savu Dievu, kas tos bija izglābis no visu ienaidnieku rokas visapkārt.
35 neither did they show kindness to the house of Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, according to all the goodness which he had shown to Israel.
Un tie nedarīja žēlastību pie JerubBaāla, tas ir Gideona, nama, pēc visa tā labuma, ko viņš bija darījis pie Israēla.
