Judges 8
1 And the men of Ephraim said unto him—What is this thing thou hast done to us, in not calling us, when thou wentest to fight with Midian? And they did chide with him, sharply.
A ljudi od plemena Jefremova rekoše mu: šta nam to uèini te nas ne pozva kad poðe u boj na Madijane? I vikahu na nj žestoko.
2 And he said unto them, What have I done, now, in comparison with you? Is not the grape-gleaning of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?
A on im reèe: pa šta sam uèinio tako kao vi? nije li pabirèenje Jefremovo bolje nego berba Avijezerova?
3 Into your hand, hath God delivered the princes of Midian—Oreb and Zeeb, what then had I been able to do in comparison with you? Then, was their spirit softened toward him, when he had spoken this word.
Vama je u ruke dao Gospod knezove Madijanske, Oriva i Ziva; pa što ja mogoh uèiniti tako kao vi? Tada se utiša duh njihov prema njemu kad tako govori.
4 And Gideon came towards the Jordan, being about to pass over—he, and the three hundred men who were with him, faint yet pursuing.
A kad Gedeon doðe na Jordan, prijeðe preko njega s trista ljudi koji bjehu s njim, a bjehu umorni goneæi.
5 So he said unto the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves of bread to the people that are following me; for, faint, they are, and, I, am in pursuit of Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian.
Pa reèe ljudima Sokoæanima: dajte nekoliko hljebova narodu koji ide za mnom, jer su umorni, a ja gonim Zeveja i Salmana careve Madijanske.
6 And the princes of Succoth said, Are the palms of the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in thy power, —that we should give to thine army bread?
A glavari Sokotski rekoše mu: je li pesnica Zevejeva i Salmanova veæ u tvojoj ruci da damo hljeba tvojoj vojsci?
7 And Gideon said, Therefore, when Yahweh hath delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into my power, then will I tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness, and with the nettles.
A Gedeon im reèe: kad mi Bog preda Zeveja i Salmana u ruku, tada æu pomlatiti tjelesa vaša trnjem iz ove pustinje i draèom.
8 So he went up from thence, to Penuel, and spake unto them in like manner, —and the men of Penuel answered him, as had answered the men of Succoth.
I otide odande u Fanuil, i reèe Fanuiljanima isto onako, a oni mu odgovoriše kao što odgovoriše ljudi u Sokotu.
9 So he spake to the men of Penuel also, saying, —When I return with success, I will break down this tower.
Zato i ljudima Fanuiljanima reèe: kad se vratim zdravo, razvaliæu tu kulu.
10 Now, Zebah and Zalmunna, were in Karkor, and their hosts with them, about fifteen thousand, all that were left out of all the host of the sons of the east, —and, the fallen, were a hundred and twenty thousand men, who had drawn the sword.
A Zevej i Salman bijahu u Karkoru, i vojska njihova s njima, oko petnaest tisuæa, što ih god osta od sve vojske istoène; a pobijenijeh bijaše sto i dvadeset tisuæa ljudi koji mahahu maèem.
11 So Gideon went up by the way of the tent-dwellers, on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and smote the host, when, the host, had become secure.
I otide Gedeon preko onijeh što žive pod šatorima, s istoka Novi i Jogveji, i udari na vojsku kad vojska stajaše bezbrižna.
12 And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled, then he pursued them, and captured the two kings of Midian—Zebah and Zalmunna, and, all the host, put he in terror.
A Zevej i Salman pobjegoše, a on ih potjera, i uhvati dva cara Madijanska, Zeveja i Salmana, i raspudi svu vojsku.
13 And Gideon son of Joash returned from the battle, —from the ascent of Heres;
I vrati se Gedeon sin Joasov iz boja prije sunèanoga roðaja.
14 and caught a young man, of the men of Succoth, and enquired of him, —so he wrote down for him the princes of Succoth, and the elders thereof, seventy-seven men.
I uhvati momka iz Sokota, i ispitiva ga; a on mu popisa knezove Sokotske i starješine, sedamdeset i sedam ljudi.
15 Then came he in unto the men of Succoth, and said, Lo! Zebah and Zalmunna, —concerning whom ye did taunt me, saying—Are the palms of the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in thy power, that we should give to thy weary men bread?
Pa kad doðe k Sokoæanima, reèe: evo Zeveja i Salmana, za koje mi se rugaste govoreæi: je li pesnica Zevejeva i Salmanova veæ u tvojoj ruci, da damo hljeba umornijem ljudima tvojim?
16 So he took the elders of the city, and the thorns of the wilderness and the nettles, and taught therewith the men of Succoth:
I uzevši starješine onoga mjesta i trnja iz pustinje i draèe dade na njima ugled Sokoæanima.
17 the tower of Penuel also, brake he down, —and slew the men of the city.
I kulu Fanuilsku razvali i pobi ljude tamošnje.
18 Then said he unto Zebah and unto Zalmunna, What manner of men were they, whom ye slew at Tabor? And they said, As thou art, so were they, each one, as handsome as the sons of a king.
Potom reèe Zeveju i Salmanu: kaki bjehu ljudi koje pobiste na Tavoru? A oni rekoše: taki kao ti; svaki bješe na oèima kao carski sin.
19 And he said: My brethren, sons of my mother, they were! As Yahweh liveth, if ye had saved them alive, I would not have slain you.
A on reèe: to bjehu moja braæa, sinovi moje matere. Tako Gospod bio živ! da ste ih ostavili u životu, ne bih vas pogubio.
20 So he said to Jether his firstborn, Up! slay them. But the youth drew not his sword, for he feared, because he was yet a youth.
Tada reèe Jeteru prvencu svojemu: ustani, pogubi ih. Ali dijete ne izvuèe maèa svojega, jer se bojaše, jer bješe još dijete.
21 Then said Zebah and Zalmunna—Up! thou, and fall upon us, for, like the man, is his might. So Gideon arose, and slew Zebah and Zalmunna, and took the crescents that were on the necks of their camels.
Tada reèe Zevej i Salman: ustani ti, uloži na nas; jer kakav je èovjek onaka mu je i snaga. I ustavši Gedeon pogubi Zeveja i Salmana, i uze mjeseèiæe koji bijahu o vratovima kamila njihovijeh.
22 Then said the men of Israel, unto Gideon, Rule over us—even thou, and thy son, and thy son’s son, —for thou hast saved us out of the power of Midian.
Potom rekoše Izrailjci Gedeonu: budi nam gospodar ti i sin tvoj i sin sina tvojega, jer si nas izbavio iz ruke Madijanske.
23 And Gideon said unto them, I, will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you, —Yahweh, shall rule over you.
A Gedeon im reèe: neæu vam ja biti gospodar, niti æe vam sin moj biti gospodar; Gospod æe vam biti Gospodar.
24 And Gideon said unto them—I would make to you a request, Give me, then, every man the nose-ring of his spoil. For they had, nose-rings of gold, for, Ishmaelites, they were.
Još im reèe Gedeon: jedno æu iskati od vas: da mi date svaki grivnu od plijena svojega. A grivne imahu zlatne, jer bjehu Ismailjci.
25 And they said, We will, freely give. So they spread out a mantle, and cast therein, every man the nose-ring of his spoil.
I odgovoriše: daæemo drage volje. I razastrvši haljinu bacaše na nju grivne, svaki od plijena svojega.
26 And so it was, that the weight of the nose-rings of gold which he requested, was a thousand and seven hundred [shekels] of gold, —besides the crescents, and the pendants, and the raiment of purple that were upon the kings of Midian, and besides the ornaments that were on the necks of their camels.
I bješe na mjeru zlatnijeh grivana što iziska tisuæa i sedam stotina sikala zlata, osim mjeseèiæa i lanèiæa i haljina skerletnijeh, što nošahu carevi Madijanski, i osim litarova, što bijahu oko vrata kamila njihovijeh.
27 And Gideon made thereof an Ephod, and set it up in his own city, in Ophrah, and all Israel went unchastely astray after it there, —so it became, to Gideon and to his house, a snare.
I Gedeon naèini od toga opleæak, i ostavi ga u svojem gradu Ofri; i ondje sav Izrailj stade èiniti preljubu za njim, i bi Gedeonu i domu njegovu zamka.
28 Thus was Midian subdued, before the sons of Israel, neither did they again lift up their head, —and the land had rest forty years, in the days of Gideon.
Tako biše pokoreni Madijani pred sinovima Izrailjevijem, i više ne digoše glave. I zemlja bi mirna èetrdeset godina za vijeka Gedeonova.
29 So then Jerubbaal, son of Joash, went and dwelt in his own house.
I otišav Jeroval sin Joasov osta u svojoj kuæi.
30 And, Gideon, had seventy sons, sprung from his own loins, —for, many wives, had he.
A imaše Gedeon sedamdeset sinova, koji izidoše od bedara njegovijeh, jer imaše mnogo žena.
31 And, his concubine who was in Shechem, she also, bare him a son, —and he gave him the name of Abimelech.
A inoèa njegova, koja bijaše u Sihemu, i ona mu rodi sina, i nadje mu ime Avimeleh.
32 And Gideon, son of Joash, died in a good old age, —and was buried in the grave of Joash his father, in Ophrah, of the Abiezrites.
Potom umrije Gedeon sin Joasov u dobroj starosti, i bi pogreben u grobu Joasa oca svojega Avijezerita u Ofri.
33 And it came to pass that, as soon as Gideon was dead, the sons of Israel turned back, and went unchastely astray after the Baals, —and appointed them Baal-berith, to be god:
A kad umrije Gedeon, opet sinovi Izrailjevi èiniše preljubu za Valima, i postaviše sebi Val-Verita za boga.
34 so the sons of Israel remembered not Yahweh, their own God, —who had rescued them out of the hand of all their enemies, on every side;
I ne sjeæaše se sinovi Izrailjevi Gospoda Boga svojega, koji ih je izbavio iz ruku svijeh neprijatelja njihovijeh unaokolo,
35 neither dealt they in lovingkindness with the house of Jerubbaal [namely] Gideon, —according to all the goodness wherewith he had dealt with Israel.
I ne uèiniše milosti domu Jerovala Gedeona prema svemu dobru što je on uèinio Izrailju.
