Judges 8
1 And they said to him [the] man of Ephraim what? [is] the thing this [which] you have done to us to not to summon us that you went to fight against Midian and they quarreled! with him with force.
Og Mændene af Efraim sagde til ham: Hvad er det for en Ting, du har gjort os, at du ikke kaldte os, der du gik at stride imod Midianiterne? og de kivede stærkt med ham.
2 And he said to them what? have I done now like you ¿ not good [are] [the] gleanings of Ephraim more than [the] grape harvest of Abiezer.
Og han sagde til dem: Hvad har jeg nu gjort som I? er ikke Efraims Efterhøst bedre end Abiesers Vinhøst?
3 In hand your he has given God [the] commanders of Midian Oreb and Zeeb and what? have I been able to do like you then it relaxed spirit their from on him when said he the word this.
Gud har givet Midianiternes Fyrster, Oreb og Seeb, i eders Haand, og hvad formaar jeg at gøre som I? Der han havde sagt det Ord, da lod deres Vrede af fra ham.
4 And he came Gideon the Jordan towards [was] passing over he and three hundred the man who [were] with him [were] exhausted and pursuing.
Der Gideon kom til Jordanen, gik han over og de tre Hundrede Mænd, som vare med ham, trætte af at forfølge.
5 And he said to [the] people of Succoth give please round loaves of bread to the people which [is] at feet my for [are] exhausted they and I [am] pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna [the] kings of Midian.
Og han sagde til Mændene i Sukot: Kære, giver det Folk, som er i Følge med mig, nogle Brød; thi de ere trætte, og jeg forfølger Seba og Zalmuna, Midianiternes Konger.
6 And he said [the] officials of Succoth ¿ [is] [the] hand of Zebah and Zalmunna now in hand your that we will give to army your bread.
Men de Øverste i Sukot sagde: Er da Sebas og Zalmunas Haand nu i din Haand, at vi skulle give din Hær Brød?
7 And he said Gideon therefore when gives Yahweh Zebah and Zalmunna in hand my and I will thresh flesh your with thorns of the wilderness and with briers.
Og Gideon sagde: Derfor naar Herren giver Seba og Zalmuna i min Haand, da vil jeg tærske eders Kød med Torne af Ørken og med Tidsler.
8 And he went up from there Penuel and he spoke to them like this and they answered him [the] men of Penuel just as they had answered [the] men of Succoth.
Og han drog derfra op til Pnuel og talede til dem paa samme Maade; og Mændene i Pnuel svarede ham, ligesom Mændene i Sukot svarede.
9 And he said also to [the] men of Penuel saying when return I in peace I will tear down the tower this.
Og han sagde ogsaa til Mændene i Pnuel saalunde: Naar jeg kommer tilbage med Fred, da vil jeg nedbryde dette Taarn.
10 And Zebah and Zalmunna [were] in Karkor and armies their [were] with them about fif-teen thousand all those [who] remained of all [the] army of [the] people of [the] east and those [who] fell [were] one hundred and twenty thousand man [who] drew [the] sword.
Men Seba og Zalmuna vare i Karkor og med dem deres Lejr ved femten Tusinde, som vare alle de overblevne af den ganske Lejr af Folkene i Østen; men der var falden hundrede og tyve Tusinde Mænd, som kunde drage Sværd.
11 And he went up Gideon [the] way of those [who] dwell in tents from [the] east of Nobah and Jogbehah and he attacked the army and the army it was security.
Og Gideon drog op ad deres Vej, som bo i Telte, Østen for Noba og Jogbea; og han slog den Lejr, thi Lejren var tryg.
12 And they fled Zebah and Zalmunna and he pursued after them and he captured [the] two - [the] kings of Midian Zebah and Zalmunna and all the army he routed.
Og Seba og Zalmuna flyede, men han forfulgte dem; og han greb de to Midianiternes Konger, Seba og Zalmuna, og forfærdede den ganske Lejr.
13 And he returned Gideon [the] son of Joash from the battle from to [the] ascent of Heres.
Men der Gideon, Joas's Søn, kom tilbage fra Krigen fra Opgangen til Heres,
14 And he captured a young man one of [the] men of Succoth and he enquired of him and he wrote down to him [the] officials of Succoth and elders its seventy and seven man.
da greb han en ung Karl af Mændene i Sukot og adspurgte ham; og denne skrev op for ham de Øverste i Sukot og de Ældste sammesteds, halvfjerdsindstyve og syv Mænd.
15 And he came to [the] men of Succoth and he said here! Zebah and Zalmunna whom you taunted me saying ¿ [is] [the] hand of Zebah and Zalmunna now in hand your that we will give to men your weary bread.
Og han kom til Mændene i Sukot og sagde: Se, her er Seba og Zalmuna, med hvilke I forhaanede mig og sagde: Er da Sebas og Zalmunas Haand nu i din Haand, at vi skulle give dine Folk, som ere trætte, Brød?
16 And he took [the] elders of the city and [the] thorns of the wilderness and the briers and he taught with them [the] men of Succoth.
Og han tog de Ældste af Staden og Torne af Ørken og Tidsler og lod Folket i Sukot faa Forstand ved dem.
17 And [the] tower of Penuel he tore down and he killed [the] men of the city.
Og Pnuels Taarn nedbrød han, og han ihjelslog Mændene i Staden.
18 And he said to Zebah and to Zalmunna where? [are] the men whom you killed at Tabor (and they said *L(abh)*) like you like them one [was] like [the] appearance of [the] sons of the king.
Og han sagde til Seba og til Zalmuna: Hvordan vare de Mænd, som I sloge ihjel ved Thabor? og de sagde: Som du, saa vare de, hver af dem saa ud som en Kongesøn.
19 And he said [were] brothers my [the] sons of mother my they [by] [the] life of Yahweh if you had let live them not I killed you.
Og han sagde: De vare mine Brødre, min Moders Sønner: Saa vist som Herren lever, dersom I havde ladet dem leve, da vilde jeg ikke slaget eder ihjel.
20 And he said to Jether firstborn his arise kill them and not he drew the young man sword his for he was afraid for still he [was] a young man.
Og han sagde til Jether, sin førstefødte: Staa op, slaa dem ihjel; men Drengen drog ikke sit Sværd ud, thi han frygtede, efterdi han var endnu en Dreng.
21 And he said Zebah and Zalmunna arise you and fall on us for [is] like the man strength his and he arose Gideon and he killed Zebah and Zalmunna and he took the ornaments which [were] on [the] necks of camels their.
Men Seba og Zalmuna sagde: Staa du op og fald an paa os, thi som Manden er, saa er hans Styrke; saa stod Gideon op og slog Seba og Zalmuna ihjel og toge de Halvmaaner, som vare paa deres Kamelers Halse.
22 And they said [the] man of Israel to Gideon rule over us both you as well as son your as well as [the] son of son your for you have delivered us from [the] hand of Midian.
Da sagde hver Mand i Israel til Gideon: Hersk over os, baade du og saa din Søn, saa og din Søns Søn, efterdi du har frelst os af Midianiternes Haand.
23 And he said to them Gideon not I will rule I over you and not he will rule son my over you Yahweh he will rule over you.
Og Gideon sagde til dem: Jeg vil ikke herske over eder; og min Søn skal ikke herske over eder; Herren skal herske over eder.
24 And he said to them Gideon let me ask from you a petition and give to me everyone earring of plunder his for earrings of gold [belonged] to them for [were] Ishmaelites they.
Og Gideon sagde til dem: Jeg har en Begæring til eder: Hver give mig dog en Bing af hans Bytte; thi hine havde Guldringe, eftersom de vare Ismaeliter.
25 And they said certainly we will give [them] and they spread out the garment and they threw there towards everyone earring of plunder his.
Og de sagde: Vi ville gerne give, og de bredte et Klæde ud; og de kastede hver en Bing af sit Bytte derpaa.
26 And it was [the] weight of [the] earrings of gold which he asked for one thousand and seven hundred gold apart from the ornaments and the pendants and [the] garments of purple that [were] on [the] kings of Midian and apart from the necklaces which [were] on [the] necks of camels their.
Og Vægten af de Guldringe, som han begærede, var tusinde og syv Hundrede Sekel Guld, foruden de Halvmaaner og de Halskæder og de Purpurklæder, som Midianiternes Konger havde paa sig, og foruden de Kæder, som vare om deres Kamelers Halse.
27 And he made it Gideon into an ephod and he placed it in city his in Ophrah and they acted as prostitutes all Israel after it there and it became for Gideon and for household his a snare.
Og Gideon anvendte det til en Livkjortel og henlagde den i sin Stad udi Ofra, og al Israel bolede med den; og det blev Gideon og hans Hus til en Snare.
28 And it was subdued Midian before [the] people of Israel and not they repeated to lift up head their and it was at peace the land forty year[s] in [the] days of Gideon.
Saa bleve Midianiterne ydmygede for Israels Børn og bleve ikke ved at opløfte deres Hoved, og Landet havde Bo fyrretyve Aar i Gideons Dage.
29 And he went Jerub-Baal [the] son of Joash and he dwelt in own house his.
Og Jerub-Baal, Joas's Søn, gik bort og boede i sit Hus.
30 And to Gideon they belonged seventy sons [who] came out of thigh his for wives many they belonged to him.
Og Gideon havde halvfjerdsindstyve Sønner, som vare udkomne af hans Lænd; thi han havde mange Hustruer.
31 And concubine his who [was] in Shechem she bore to him also she a son and he made name his Abimelech.
Og hans Medhustru, som var i Sikem, fødte ham ogsaa en Søn; og han gav ham Navnet Abimelek.
32 And he died Gideon [the] son of Joash in old age good and he was buried in [the] tomb of Joash father his in Ophrah of [the] Abi-ezrite[s].
Og Gideon, Joas's Søn, døde i en god Alderdom, og han blev begraven udi sin Faders, Abiesriteren Joas's, Grav i Ofra.
33 And it was just when he had died Gideon and they turned back [the] people of Israel and they acted as prostitutes after the Baals and they made for themselves Baal-Berith into god.
Og det skete, der Gideon var død, da vendte Israels Børn om og bolede med Baalerne; og de gjorde sig Baal-Berith til en Gud.
34 And not they remembered [the] people of Israel Yahweh God their who delivered them from [the] hand of all enemies their from round about.
Og Israels Børn kom ikke Herren, deres Gud, i Hu, som havde friet dem af alle deres Fjenders Haand trindt omkring.
35 And not they did loyalty with [the] house of Jerub-Baal Gideon according to all the good which he had done with Israel.
Og de viste ikke Kærlighed mod Jerub-Baals, det er Gideons Hus, efter alt det gode, som han havde gjort mod Israel.
