Judges 8
1 And the men of Ephraim said to him, Why hast thou done this to us, that thou didst call us not, when thou wentest to fight with the Midianites? And they did contend with him sharply.
И рекоша к Гедеону мужие Ефремли: что сие сотворил еси нам, яко не позвал еси нас, егда ходил воевати на Мадиама? И пряхуся с ним сильно.
2 And he said to them, What have I done now in comparison of you? Is not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?
И рече к ним (Гедеон): что сотворих ныне якоже вы? Не лучше ли гроздец Ефремль, нежели обрание винограда Авиезерова?
3 God hath delivered into your hands the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb: and what was I able to do in comparison of you? Then, when he had said that, their anger toward him abated.
В руку вашу предаде Господь князи Мадиамли, Орива и Зива: и что возмогох сотворити якоже вы? Тогда утолися дух их от него, егда глагола им слово сие.
4 And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them.
И прииде Гедеон ко Иордану, и прейде сам и иже с ним триста мужей, алчни и утруждени гоняще.
5 And he said to the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves of bread to the people that follow me; for they are faint, and I am pursuing Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian.
И рече мужем Сокхофским: дадите хлебы на пищу мужем сим иже со мною, яко алчни суть: аз же гоню вслед Зевеа и Салмана, царей Мадиамских.
6 And the princes of Succoth said, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thy hand, that we should give bread to thy army?
И рекоша князи Сокхофстии: еда рука Зевеа и Салмана ныне в руце твоей, яко дадим воем твоим хлебы?
7 And Gideon said, Therefore when the LORD hath delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.
И рече Гедеон: не тако: но егда предаст Господь Зевеа и Салмана в руку мою, аз сотру плоти вашя тернием пустынным и волчцами.
8 And he went up from there to Penuel, and spoke to them likewise: and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered him.
И взыде оттуду во Фануил и глагола к ним такожде. И отвещаша ему мужие Фануили, якоже отвещаша ему мужие Сокхофстии.
9 And he spoke also to the men of Penuel, saying, When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower.
И рече Гедеон мужем Фануилским, глаголя: егда возвращуся с миром, раскопаю столп сей.
10 Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and their hosts with them, about fifteen thousand men, all that were left of all the hosts of the children of the east: for there fell an hundred and twenty thousand men that drew sword.
И Зевей и Салман быша в Каркаре, и полк их с ними до пятьнадесяти тысящ (мужей) оставшихся от всего полка сынов восточных: и умерших бяше сто и двадесять тысящ мужей держащих оружие.
11 And Gideon went up by the way of them that dwelt in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and smote the host: for the host was secure.
И взыде Гедеон путем живущих в кущах от востоков прямо Навы и Иегевала: и изби полк, полк же бяше надежен.
12 And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled, he pursued them, and took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and overcame all the host.
И побегоста Зевей и Салман: и гна вслед их, и поима оба царя Мадиамля, Зевеа и Салмана, и весь полк их смяте.
13 And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle before the sun had risen,
И возвратися Гедеон сын Иоасов от рати прежде восхода солнца,
14 And caught a young man of the men of Succoth, and enquired of him: and he described for him the princes of Succoth, and its elders, even seventy and seven men.
и ят отрочища от мужей Сокхофских и вопроси его: и вписа от него имена князей Сокхофских и старейшин их, седмидесяти и седми мужей.
15 And he came to the men of Succoth, and said, Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, with whom ye upbraided me, saying, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thy hand, that we should give bread to thy men that are weary?
И прииде Гедеон ко князем Сокхофским и рече им: се, Зевей и Салман, ихже ради укористе мя, глаголюще: еда рука Зевеа и Салмана ныне в руце твоей, яко дадим мужем твоим утруждшымся хлебы?
16 And he took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness and briers, and with them he taught the men of Succoth.
И поя князи и старейшины града, и терние от пустыни и волчцы, и сотре ими мужы Сокхофски:
17 And he beat down the tower of Penuel, and slew the men of the city.
и столп Фануилев раскопа, и изби мужы градския.
18 Then said he to Zebah and Zalmunna, What manner of men were they whom ye slew at Tabor? And they answered, As thou art, so were they; each one resembled the children of a king.
И рече к Зевею и Салману: какови мужие, ихже избисте в Фаворе? И реша: якоже ты, тако они, подобен ты еси им, яко подобие сынов царевых.
19 And he said, They were my brethren, even the sons of my mother: as the LORD liveth, if ye had saved them alive, I would not slay you.
И рече Гедеон: братия моя и сынове матере моея суть: жив Господь, аще бысте живили их, не убил бых вас.
20 And he said to Jether his firstborn, Arise, and slay them. But the youth drew not his sword: for he feared, because he was yet a youth.
И рече Иеферу первенцу своему: востав убий их. И не извлече отрочищь меча своего: зане убояся, яко млад бяше.
21 Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, Rise thou, and fall upon us: for as the man is, so is his strength. And Gideon arose, and slew Zebah and Zalmunna, and took away the ornaments that were on their camels’ necks.
И рече Зевей и Салман: востани убо ты, и сопротивися нам: зане яко муж сила его. И воста Гедеон, и уби Зевеа и Салмана: и взя украшения, яже на выях велблюдов их.
22 Then the men of Israel said to Gideon, Rule thou over us, both thou, and thy son, and thy son’s son also: for thou hast delivered us from the hand of Midian.
И рекоша мужие Израилстии ко Гедеону: владей нами и ты, и сынове твои, и сынове сынов твоих, яко ты спасл еси нас от руки Мадиамли.
23 And Gideon said to them, I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you: the LORD shall rule over you.
И рече к ним Гедеон: не возобладаю аз вами, и не возобладает сын мой вами: Господь да владеет вами.
24 And Gideon said to them, I would desire a request of you, that you would give me every man the earrings of his spoil. (For they had golden earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.)
И рече к ним Гедеон: попрошу у вас прошения, и да даст мне всяк муж усерязь от плена своего: яко усерязи златы (мнози) и бяху им, зане Исмаилтяне бяху.
25 And they answered, We will willingly give them. And they spread a garment, and cast into it every man the earrings of his spoil.
И рекоша: дающе дадим. И простре ризу, и ввергоша ту мужие по и усерязю от плена своего.
26 And the weight of the golden earrings that he requested was a thousand and seven hundred shekels of gold; besides ornaments, and collars, and purple raiment that was on the kings of Midian, and besides the chains that were about their camels’ necks.
И бысть вес усерязь златых, ихже испроси, тысяща и седмь сот сикль злата, кроме плениц и монист (енфофовых), и риз багряных, яже на царех Мадиамлих, и кроме чепей златых, яже на выях велблюдов их.
27 And Gideon made of it an ephod, and put it in his city, even in Ophrah: and all Israel went there playing the harlot with it: which thing became a snare to Gideon, and to his house.
И сотвори от них Гедеон ефуд, и постави его во граде своем во Ефрафе. И соблуди весь Израиль по нем тамо: и бысть Гедеону и всему его дому в соблазн.
28 Thus was Midian subdued before the children of Israel, so that they raised their heads no more. And the country was in quietness forty years in the days of Gideon.
И смирися Мадиам пред сыны Израилевыми, и не приложиша воздвигнути главы своея. И бысть в покои земля четыредесять лет, во дни Гедеоновы.
29 And Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and dwelt in his own house.
И иде Иероваал сын Иоасов, и седе в дому своем.
30 And Gideon had seventy sons of his body begotten: for he had many wives.
И Гедеону быша седмьдесят сынов, изшедшии от чресл его, яко жены бяху многи ему.
31 And his concubine that was in Shechem, she also bore him a son, whose name he called Abimelech.
И подложница его яже в Сикиме и сия роди ему сына, и нарече имя ему Авимелех.
32 And Gideon the son of Joash died in a good old age, and was buried in the sepulchre of Joash his father, in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
И умре Гедеон сын Иоасов в старости блазе, и погребеся во гробе Иоаса отца своего, во Ефрафе, отца Езриева.
33 And it came to pass, as soon as Gideon was dead, that the children of Israel turned again, and went playing the harlot with Baalim, and made Baalberith their god.
И бысть егда умре Гедеон, и совратишася сынове Израилевы и соблудиша вслед Ваалима, и сотвориша себе со Ваалверифом завет, да им будет бог:
34 And the children of Israel remembered not the LORD their God, who had delivered them from the hands of all their enemies on every side:
и не воспомянуша сынове Израилевы Господа Бога своего, избавльшаго их из руки всех враг их окрестных:
35 Neither showed they kindness to the house of Jerubbaal, namely, Gideon, according to all the goodness which he had shown to Israel.
и не сотвориша милости с домом Иеровааловым, сей есть Гедеон, по всей благостыни его, юже сотвори со Израилем.
