Hakim-hakim 8

1 Orang Efraim berkata kepada Gideon, "Mengapa kami tidak diajak waktu engkau berangkat untuk memerangi orang Midian? Apa sebab kami kauperlakukan demikian?" Begitulah mereka mengomel terhadap Gideon.

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.

2 Tetapi Gideon menjawab, "Apa yang saya lakukan tidaklah begitu berarti bila dibandingkan dengan apa yang sudah kalian lakukan. Walaupun yang kalian lakukan hanya sedikit, tetapi yang sedikit itu jauh lebih berharga daripada semua yang telah dilakukan oleh seluruh pasukan kaum saya.

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.

3 Kalianlah yang mendapat kuasa dari Allah sehingga dapat membunuh Oreb dan Zeeb, kedua tokoh Midian itu! Dibandingkan dengan itu, apakah jasa saya?" Setelah Gideon berkata demikian, mereka tidak marah lagi.

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.

4 Pada saat itu Gideon dengan ketiga ratus anak buahnya sampai ke seberang Sungai Yordan. Mereka lelah sekali tetapi masih terus saja mengejar musuh.

And he came Gideon the Jordan towards [was] passing over he and three hundred the man who [were] with him [were] exhausted and pursuing.

5 Kemudian mereka sampai di Sukot. Di situ Gideon berkata kepada penduduk kota, "Tolonglah berikan kepada anak buahku sedikit makanan. Mereka lelah sekali sedangkan kami masih mengejar Zebah dan Salmuna, raja-raja Midian itu."

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.

6 Tetapi pemimpin-pemimpin di Sukot itu menjawab, "Ah, kalian belum lagi menangkap Zebah dan Salmuna, kalian sudah minta makanan! Untuk apa anak buahmu harus diberi makan?"

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.

7 Maka kata Gideon, "Baiklah! Nanti kalau TUHAN telah memberikan kepadaku kemenangan atas Zebah dan Salmuna, kalian akan kucambuk dengan duri dan onak dari padang pasir!"

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.

8 Kemudian Gideon meneruskan perjalanan lalu sampai di Pnuel. Di sana juga ia minta makanan untuk anak buahnya. Tetapi jawaban orang Pnuel sama dengan jawaban orang Sukot.

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.

9 Oleh karena itu Gideon berkata kepada mereka, "Nanti saya akan kembali dengan selamat. Dan pada saat itu saya akan merobohkan menara kota ini!"

And he said also to [the] men of Penuel saying when return I in peace I will tear down the tower this.

10 Sementara itu Zebah dan Salmuna dengan seluruh pasukan mereka sedang berada di Karkor. Dari seluruh pasukan orang-orang padang pasir, hanya ada kira-kira 15.000 orang saja yang sisa; 120.000 tentaranya sudah tewas.

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.

11 Gideon menyusuri perbatasan padang pasir di sebelah timur Nobah dan Yogbeha lalu menyerang musuh secara mendadak.

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.

12 Zebah dan Salmuna, kedua raja Midian itu lari, tetapi Gideon mengejar dan menangkap mereka, sehingga seluruh angkatan perang mereka menjadi panik.

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.

13 Kemudian dalam perjalanan pulang dari pertempuran, Gideon mengambil jalan yang melewati pendakian Heres.

And he returned Gideon [the] son of Joash from the battle from to [the] ascent of Heres.

14 Di situ ia menangkap seorang muda dari Sukot, lalu ia menanyai orang itu tentang nama-nama para pemuka di Sukot. Maka orang itu menuliskan nama-nama itu untuk Gideon--semuanya ada 77 orang.

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.

15 Sesudah itu Gideon pergi menemui pemuka-pemuka di kota itu lalu berkata, "Pasti kalian masih ingat bahwa kalian pernah menolak untuk menolong saya, karena saya belum menangkap Zebah dan Salmuna, bukan? Kalian tak mau memberi makanan kepada anak buah saya; padahal mereka sedang lelah pada waktu itu. Lihat, ini Zebah dan Salmuna."

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.

16 Sesudah itu Gideon mengambil duri dan onak dari padang pasir, lalu menghajar para pemuka kota Sukot itu.

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.

17 Di Pnuel pun ia merobohkan menara dan membunuh semua orang laki-laki di kota itu.

And [the] tower of Penuel he tore down and he killed [the] men of the city.

18 Sesudah itu Gideon bertanya kepada Zebah dan Salmuna, "Bagaimana rupa orang-orang yang kalian bunuh di Tabor itu?" Zebah dan Salmuna menjawab, "Mereka semuanya mirip engkau, seperti keturunan bangsawan."

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.

19 "Itu saudara-saudara saya--anak-anak ibu saya," kata Gideon. "Seandainya kalian tidak membunuh mereka, sungguh mati saya tidak akan membunuh kalian juga."

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.

20 Lalu kata Gideon kepada Yeter, anak sulungnya, "Bunuhlah mereka!" Tetapi Yeter masih muda. Jadi, ia takut sehingga ia tidak mencabut pedangnya untuk membunuh.

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.

21 Kata Zebah dan Salmuna kepada Gideon, "Ayo, kalau kau laki-laki, bunuhlah kami dengan tanganmu sendiri!" Maka Gideon pun membunuh mereka lalu mengambil semua perhiasan yang ada pada leher unta mereka.

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.

22 Kemudian berkatalah umat Israel kepada Gideon, "Kau sudah melepaskan kami dari kekuasaan orang Midian. Sebab itu hendaklah kau menjadi pemimpin kami--kau dan keturunanmu."

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.

23 Sahut Gideon, "Tidak. Saya tidak akan menjadi pemimpinmu; anak saya pun tidak. Tuhanlah pemimpinmu."

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.

24 Tetapi kemudian Gideon berkata lagi, "Hanya satu permintaan saya; anting-anting yang kalian rampas dari musuh, hendaklah kalian serahkan semuanya kepada saya." (Orang Midian biasanya memakai anting-anting emas; sama seperti orang-orang lainnya yang tinggal di padang pasir.)

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.

25 "Baik," jawab mereka, "dengan senang hati kami akan memberikannya kepadamu." Lalu mereka membentangkan sehelai kain, kemudian setiap orang datang dan meletakkan di situ anting-anting yang telah dirampasnya dari musuh.

And they said certainly we will give [them] and they spread out the garment and they threw there towards everyone earring of plunder his.

26 Semua anting-anting emas yang diserahkan kepada Gideon pada waktu itu beratnya hampir dua puluh kilogram, belum termasuk perhiasan-perhiasa kalung, kain ungu yang dipakai raja-raja Midian, dan kalung yang terdapat pada leher unta-unta mereka.

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.

27 Dari emas itu, Gideon membuat sebuah patung berhala, lalu menempatkannya di desanya, yaitu di Ofra. Semua orang Israel pergi ke sana untuk menyembah patung berhala itu, sehingga mereka tidak lagi memperhatikan Allah. Dan hal itu menjadi seperti jerat bagi Gideon dan keluarganya.

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.

28 Orang Midian tak dapat berkutik lagi; mereka telah dikalahkan oleh orang Israel. Maka amanlah negeri itu empat puluh tahun lamanya selama Gideon masih hidup.

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.

29 Setelah pertempuran itu, Gideon kembali ke kampung halamannya dan tinggal di sana.

And he went Jerub-Baal [the] son of Joash and he dwelt in own house his.

30 Ia mempunyai tujuh puluh orang anak laki-laki, sebab istrinya banyak.

And to Gideon they belonged seventy sons [who] came out of thigh his for wives many they belonged to him.

31 Ada juga selirnya di Sikhem; dari selirnya ini ia mendapat seorang anak laki-laki yang dinamainya Abimelekh.

And concubine his who [was] in Shechem she bore to him also she a son and he made name his Abimelech.

32 Setelah lanjut sekali usianya barulah Gideon anak Yoas itu meninggal. Ia dimakamkan di kuburan Yoas, ayahnya. Kuburan itu terletak di Ofra, yaitu kota kaum Abiezer.

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].

33 Setelah Gideon meninggal, orang Israel tidak setia lagi kepada Allah. Mereka menyembah dewa-dewa Baal dan menjadikan Baal-Berit dewa mereka.

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.

34 Mereka tidak beribadat lagi kepada Allah, TUHAN mereka, yang telah melepaskan mereka dari kekuasaan semua musuh di sekeliling mereka.

And not they remembered [the] people of Israel Yahweh God their who delivered them from [the] hand of all enemies their from round about.

35 Mereka juga tidak membalas budi kepada keluarga Gideon atas segala jasa Gideon bagi umat Israel.

And not they did loyalty with [the] house of Jerub-Baal Gideon according to all the good which he had done with Israel.
