Judges 6
1 The children of Israel did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, so the LORD delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years.
Un Israēla bērni darīja, kas Tam Kungam nepatika. Tad Tas Kungs tos nodeva Midijaniešu rokā septiņus gadus.
2 The hand of Midian prevailed against Israel; and because of Midian the children of Israel made themselves the dens which are in the mountains, the caves, and the strongholds.
Kad nu Midijaniešu roka palika stipra pret Israēli, tad Israēla bērni sev taisīja alas kalnos un bedres un stipras pilis Midijaniešu dēļ.
3 So it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites, the Amalekites, and the children of the east came up against them.
Jo kad Israēls bija sējis, tad nāca Midijanieši un Amalekieši un austruma ļaudis un cēlās pret tiem.
4 They encamped against them, and destroyed the increase of the earth, until you come to Gaza. They left no sustenance in Israel, and no sheep, ox, or donkey.
Un apmetās pret tiem un postīja zemes druvas līdz Gacai; tie neatlicināja pārtikas iekš Israēla, nedz sīku lopu nedz vēršu nedz ēzeļu.
5 For they came up with their livestock and their tents. They came in as locusts for multitude. Both they and their camels were without number; and they came into the land to destroy it.
Jo tie atnāca ar saviem ganāmiem pulkiem un ar savām teltīm, tie nāca tā kā siseņu pulks, ka tos ar viņu kamieļiem nevarēja skaitīt, un tie nāca, zemi postīt.
6 Israel was brought very low because of Midian; and the children of Israel cried to the LORD.
Un Israēls ļoti panīka caur Midijaniešiem. Tad Israēla bērni brēca uz To Kungu.
7 When the children of Israel cried to the LORD because of Midian,
Un notikās, kad Israēla bērni Midijana dēļ uz To Kungu brēca,
8 The LORD sent a prophet to the children of Israel; and he said to them, “The LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you out of the house of bondage.
Tad Tas Kungs sūtīja pravieti pie Israēla bērniem; tas uz viņiem sacīja: tā saka Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs: Es jūs esmu izvedis no Ēģiptes un jūs izvedis no vergu nama
9 I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians and out of the hand of all who oppressed you, and drove them out from before you, and gave you their land.
Un jūs izglābis no ēģiptiešu rokas un no visu rokas, kas jūs spieda, un Es tos jūsu priekšā izdzinis un jums devis viņu zemi.
10 I said to you, “I am the LORD your God. You shall not fear the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell.” But you have not listened to my voice.’”
Un Es uz jums sacīju: Es esmu Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, nebīstaties Amoriešu dievus, kuru zemē jūs dzīvojat. Bet jūs neesat klausījuši Manai balsij.
11 The LORD’s angel came and sat under the oak which was in Ophrah, that belonged to Joash the Abiezrite. His son Gideon was beating out wheat in the wine press, to hide it from the Midianites.
Un Tā Kunga eņģelis nāca un apsēdās apakš tā ozola Ovrā, kas piederēja Joasam, no Abiēzera nama, un viņu dēls Gideons kūla kviešus vīna spaidā, lai tos paslēptu no Midijaniešiem.
12 The LORD’s angel appeared to him, and said to him, “The LORD is with you, you mighty man of valour!”
Un Tā Kunga eņģelis tam parādījās un uz to sacīja: Tas Kungs ar tevi, tu stiprais varenais vīrs!
13 Gideon said to him, “Oh, my lord, if the LORD is with us, why then has all this happened to us? Where are all his wondrous works which our fathers told us of, saying, ‘Didn’t the LORD bring us up from Egypt?’ But now the LORD has cast us off, and delivered us into the hand of Midian.”
Bet Gideons uz viņu sacīja: mans Kungs, kad Tas Kungs ir ar mums, kāpēc tad visas šīs bēdas mums uznākušas? Un kur ir visi viņa brīnumi, ko mums mūsu tēvi teikuši, sacīdami: vai Tas Kungs mūs nav izvedis no Ēģiptes? Bet nu Tas Kungs mūs atstājis un nodevis Midijaniešu rokā.
14 The LORD looked at him, and said, “Go in this your might, and save Israel from the hand of Midian. Haven’t I sent you?”
Tad Tas Kungs uz viņu atgriezās un sacīja: noej šinī savā spēkā, un atpestī Israēli no Midijaniešu rokas; redzi, Es tevi esmu sūtījis.
15 He said to him, “O Lord, how shall I save Israel? Behold, my family is the poorest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house.”
Un viņš uz to sacīja: mans Kungs, ar ko es Israēli atpestīšu? Redzi, mans radu pulks ir tas mazākais Manasū, un es esmu tas mazākais sava tēva namā.
16 The LORD said to him, “Surely I will be with you, and you shall strike the Midianites as one man.”
Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz viņu: tāpēc ka Es būšu ar tevi, tu sitīsi Midijaniešus kā vienu vīru.
17 He said to him, “If now I have found favour in your sight, then show me a sign that it is you who talk with me.
Tad tas uz Viņu sacīja: ja es esmu atradis žēlastību Tavās acīs, tad dod man jel zīmi, ka Tu tas esi, kas ar mani runā.
18 Please don’t go away until I come to you, and bring out my present, and lay it before you.” He said, “I will wait until you come back.”
Neaizej jel no šejienes, kamēr es pie Tevis nākšu un savu ēdamo upuri atnesīšu un Tev celšu priekšā. Un Viņš sacīja: Es palikšu, kamēr tu atkal nāksi.
19 Gideon went in and prepared a young goat and unleavened cakes of an ephah of meal. He put the meat in a basket and he put the broth in a pot, and brought it out to him under the oak, and presented it.
Un Gideons iegāja un sataisīja kazlēnu un neraudzētas karašas no vienas ēfas miltu; to gaļu viņš lika kurvī un to sulu viņš lēja podā, un to iznesa pie Viņa ārā apakš tā ozola un to nolika zemē.
20 The angel of God said to him, “Take the meat and the unleavened cakes, and lay them on this rock, and pour out the broth.” He did so.
Un tas Dieva eņģelis sacīja uz viņu: ņem to gaļu un tās neraudzētās karašas un liec to šeitan uz to akmeni un izlej to sulu; un viņš tā darīja.
21 Then the LORD’s angel stretched out the end of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the meat and the unleavened cakes; and fire went up out of the rock and consumed the meat and the unleavened cakes. Then the LORD’s angel departed out of his sight.
Tad Tā Kunga eņģelis izstiepa tā zižļa galu, kas viņam bija rokā, un aizskāra to gaļu un tās neraudzētās maizes. Tad uguns izšāvās no tā akmens un aprija to gaļu un tās neraudzētās karašas; un Tā Kunga eņģelis nozuda no viņa acīm.
22 Gideon saw that he was the LORD’s angel; and Gideon said, “Alas, Lord GOD! Because I have seen the LORD’s angel face to face!”
Kad nu Gideons redzēja, to Tā Kunga eņģeli esam, tad Gideons sacīja: Ak vai! Kungs, Dievs! Jo es Tā Kunga eņģeli vaigu vaigā esmu redzējis!
23 The LORD said to him, “Peace be to you! Don’t be afraid. You shall not die.”
Tad Tas Kungs uz viņu sacīja: miers ar tevi! nebīsties, tu nemirsi!
24 Then Gideon built an altar there to the LORD, and called it “The LORD is Peace.” To this day it is still in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
Tad Gideons tur Tam Kungam uzcēla altāri un to nosauca: Tas Kungs ir miers. Tas vēl līdz šodienai ir Abiēzeriešu Ovrā.
25 That same night, the LORD said to him, “Take your father’s bull, even the second bull seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that your father has, and cut down the Asherah that is by it.
Un tai naktī Tas Kungs uz viņu sacīja: ņem vērsīti no sava tēva lopiem un vēl otru vērsi septiņus gadus vecu, un salauzi Baāla altāri, kas tavam tēvam, un nocērt to elka stabu, kas tur ir klātu.
26 Then build an altar to the LORD your God on the top of this stronghold, in an orderly way, and take the second bull, and offer a burnt offering with the wood of the Asherah which you shall cut down.”
Un uztaisi Tam Kungam, savam Dievam, altāri šīs stiprās vietas kalna galā tā kārtīgi, un ņem to otru vērsi un upurē dedzināmo upuri ar to malku no tā elka staba, ko tu nocirtīsi.
27 Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as the LORD had spoken to him. Because he feared his father’s household and the men of the city, he could not do it by day, but he did it by night.
Tad Gideons ņēma desmit vīrus no saviem kalpiem un darīja, kā Tas Kungs uz viņu bija runājis; bet viņš bijās no sava tēva nama un tās pilsētas vīriem dienā to darīt, un to darīja naktī.
28 When the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was broken down, and the Asherah was cut down that was by it, and the second bull was offered on the altar that was built.
Kad nu tās pilsētas vīri rītā uzcēlās, redzi, tad Baāla altāris bija salauzīts un tas elka stabs nocirsts, kas tur klātu, un tas otrs vērsis uz tā uztaisīta altāra bija upurēts.
29 They said to one another, “Who has done this thing?” When they enquired and asked, they said, “Gideon the son of Joash has done this thing.”
Tad tie sacīja cits uz citu: kas to darījis? Un kad tie meklēja un izvaicāja, tad tapa sacīts: Gideons, Joasa dēls, to darījis.
30 Then the men of the city said to Joash, “Bring out your son, that he may die, because he has broken down the altar of Baal, and because he has cut down the Asherah that was by it.”
Tad tās pilsētas vīri sacīja uz Joasu: izved savu dēlu, jo tam jāmirst, tāpēc ka viņš nolauzis Baāla altāri un to elka stabu nocirtis, kas tur bija klāt.
31 Joash said to all who stood against him, “Will you contend for Baal? Or will you save him? He who will contend for him, let him be put to death by morning! If he is a god, let him contend for himself, because someone has broken down his altar!”
Un Joas sacīja uz visiem, kas pie viņa stāvēja: vai jūs tiesāsities par Baālu? Vai jūs viņu izpestīsiet? Kas par viņu tiesāsies, tam vēl šodien būs tapt nokautam. Ja viņš ir dievs, tad lai viņš pats par sevi tiesājās, tāpēc ka viņa altāris nolauzīts.
32 Therefore on that day he named him Jerub-Baal, saying, “Let Baal contend against him, because he has broken down his altar.”
Un tai dienā viņu nosauca JerubBaālu un sacīja: lai Baāls ar viņu tiesājās, ka tas viņa altāri nolauzījis.
33 Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the children of the east assembled themselves together; and they passed over, and encamped in the valley of Jezreel.
Bet visi Midijanieši un Amalekieši un tie austruma ļaudis sapulcējās kopā un pārcēlās un apmetās Jezreēles ielejā.
34 But the LORD’s Spirit came on Gideon, and he blew a trumpet; and Abiezer was gathered together to follow him.
Tad Tā Kunga Gars nāca uz Gideonu, un viņš pūta trumetē un sasauca Abiēzeriešus sev pakaļ.
35 He sent messengers throughout all Manasseh, and they also were gathered together to follow him. He sent messengers to Asher, to Zebulun, and to Naphtali; and they came up to meet them.
Un viņš sūtīja vēstnešus pa visu Manasu; ir tie tapa sasaukti, viņam pakaļ. Un viņš sūtīja vēstnešus pa Ašeru un pa Zebulonu un pa Naftalu un tie nāca viņiem pretī.
36 Gideon said to God, “If you will save Israel by my hand, as you have spoken,
Un Gideons sacīja uz Dievu: ja Tu Israēli gribi izpestīt caur manu roku, kā Tu esi runājis, -
37 behold, I will put a fleece of wool on the threshing floor. If there is dew on the fleece only, and it is dry on all the ground, then I’ll know that you will save Israel by my hand, as you have spoken.”
Redzi, es nolikšu aitas cirpumu uz klonu; kad rasa būs uz cirpuma vien un pa visu zemi sausums, tad es zināšu, ka Tu Israēli izpestīsi caur manu roku, kā Tu esi sacījis.
38 It was so; for he rose up early on the next day, and pressed the fleece together, and wrung the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water.
Un tā notika. Jo viņš agri no rīta uzcēlās un izspieda to cirpumu un izgrieza rasu no tā cirpuma, vienu kausu pilnu ar ūdeni.
39 Gideon said to God, “Don’t let your anger be kindled against me, and I will speak but this once. Please let me make a trial just this once with the fleece. Let it now be dry only on the fleece, and on all the ground let there be dew.”
Un Gideons sacīja uz Dievu: lai Tava bardzība pret mani neiedegās, ka vēl reiz' runāju, - es vēl reiz' raudzīšu ar to cirpumu. Lai jel ir sausums uz tā cirpuma vien, un pa visu zemi lai ir rasa.
40 God did so that night; for it was dry on the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.
Un Dievs tā darīja tanī naktī; un sausums bija uz tā cirpuma vien, un pa visu zemi bija rasa.
