Sog̒u 6

1 Un Israēla bērni darīja, kas Tam Kungam nepatika. Tad Tas Kungs tos nodeva Midijaniešu rokā septiņus gadus.

And the children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years.

2 Kad nu Midijaniešu roka palika stipra pret Israēli, tad Israēla bērni sev taisīja alas kalnos un bedres un stipras pilis Midijaniešu dēļ.

And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel; and because of Midian the children of Israel made them the dens which are in the mountains, and the caves, and the strongholds.

3 Jo kad Israēls bija sējis, tad nāca Midijanieši un Amalekieši un austruma ļaudis un cēlās pret tiem.

And so it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east; they came up against them;

4 Un apmetās pret tiem un postīja zemes druvas līdz Gacai; tie neatlicināja pārtikas iekš Israēla, nedz sīku lopu nedz vēršu nedz ēzeļu.

and they encamped against them, and destroyed the produce of the earth, till thou come unto Gaza, and left no sustenance in Israel, neither sheep, nor ox, nor ass.

5 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.

For they came up with their cattle and their tents, and they came in as locusts for multitude; both they and their camels were without number; and they came into the land to destroy it.

6 Un Israēls ļoti panīka caur Midijaniešiem. Tad Israēla bērni brēca uz To Kungu.

And Israel was brought very low because of Midian; and the children of Israel cried unto the LORD.

7 Un notikās, kad Israēla bērni Midijana dēļ uz To Kungu brēca,

And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD because of Midian,

8 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

that the LORD sent a prophet unto the children of Israel; and he said unto them: 'Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you forth out of the house of bondage;

9 Un jūs izglābis no ēģiptiešu rokas un no visu rokas, kas jūs spieda, un Es tos jūsu priekšā izdzinis un jums devis viņu zemi.

and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all that oppressed you, and drove them out from before you, and gave you their land.

10 Un Es uz jums sacīju: Es esmu Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, nebīstaties Amoriešu dievus, kuru zemē jūs dzīvojat. Bet jūs neesat klausījuši Manai balsij.

And I said unto you: I am the LORD your God; ye shall not fear the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell; but ye have not hearkened unto My voice.'

11 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.

And the angel of the LORD came, and sat under the terebinth which was in Ophrah, that belonged unto Joash the Abiezrite; and his son Gideon was beating out wheat in the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites.

12 Un Tā Kunga eņģelis tam parādījās un uz to sacīja: Tas Kungs ar tevi, tu stiprais varenais vīrs!

And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto him: 'The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valour.'

13 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.

And Gideon said unto him: 'Oh, my lord, if the LORD be with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where are all His wondrous works which our fathers told us of, saying: Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt? but now the LORD hath cast us off, and delivered us into the hand of Midian.'

14 Tad Tas Kungs uz viņu atgriezās un sacīja: noej šinī savā spēkā, un atpestī Israēli no Midijaniešu rokas; redzi, Es tevi esmu sūtījis.

And the LORD turned towards him, and said: 'Go in this thy might, and save Israel from the hand of Midian; have not I sent thee?'

15 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.

And he said unto him: 'Oh, my lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? behold, my family is the poorest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house.'

16 Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz viņu: tāpēc ka Es būšu ar tevi, tu sitīsi Midijaniešus kā vienu vīru.

And the LORD said unto him: 'Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man.'

17 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.

And he said unto him: 'If now I have found favour in thy sight, then show me a sign that it is thou that talkest with me.

18 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.

Depart not hence, I pray thee, until I come unto thee, and bring forth my present, and lay it before thee.' And he said: 'I will tarry until thou come back.'

19 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.

And Gideon went in, and made ready a kid, and unleavened cakes of an ephah of meal; the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought it out unto him under the terebinth, and presented it.

20 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.

And the angel of God said unto him: 'Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them upon this rock, and pour out the broth.' And he did so.

21 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.

Then the angel of the LORD put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and there went up fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and the angel of the LORD departed out of his sight.

22 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!

And Gideon saw that he was the angel of the LORD; and Gideon said: 'Alas, O Lord GOD! forasmuch as I have seen the angel of the LORD face to face.'

23 Tad Tas Kungs uz viņu sacīja: miers ar tevi! nebīsties, tu nemirsi!

And the LORD said unto him: 'Peace be unto thee; fear not; thou shalt not die.'

24 Tad Gideons tur Tam Kungam uzcēla altāri un to nosauca: Tas Kungs ir miers. Tas vēl līdz šodienai ir Abiēzeriešu Ovrā.

Then Gideon built an altar there unto the LORD, and called it 'Adonai-shalom'; unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.

25 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.

And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto him: 'Take thy father's bullock, and the second bullock of seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the Asherah that is by it;

26 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.

and build an altar unto the LORD thy God upon the top of this stronghold, in the ordered place, and take the second bullock, and offer a burnt-offering with the wood of the Asherah which thou shalt cut down.'

27 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.

Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as the LORD had spoken unto him; and it came to pass, because he feared his father's household and the men of the city, so that he could not do it by day, that he did it by night.

28 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.

And 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 bullock was offered upon the altar that was built.

29 Tad tie sacīja cits uz citu: kas to darījis? Un kad tie meklēja un izvaicāja, tad tapa sacīts: Gideons, Joasa dēls, to darījis.

And they said one to another: 'Who hath done this thing?' And when they inquired and asked, they said: 'Gideon the son of Joash hath done this thing.'

30 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.

Then the men of the city said unto Joash: 'Bring out thy son, that he may die; because he hath broken down the altar of Baal, and because he hath cut down the Asherah that was by it.'

31 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.

And Joash said unto all that stood against him: 'Will ye contend for Baal? or will ye save him? he that will contend for him, shall be put to death before morning; if he be a god, let him contend for himself, because one hath broken down his altar.'

32 Un tai dienā viņu nosauca JerubBaālu un sacīja: lai Baāls ar viņu tiesājās, ka tas viņa altāri nolauzījis.

Therefore on that day he was called Jerubbaal, saying: 'Let Baal contend against him, because he hath broken down his altar.'

33 Bet visi Midijanieši un Amalekieši un tie austruma ļaudis sapulcējās kopā un pārcēlās un apmetās Jezreēles ielejā.

Now all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the children of the east assembled themselves together; and they passed over, and pitched in the valley of Jezreel.

34 Tad Tā Kunga Gars nāca uz Gideonu, un viņš pūta trumetē un sasauca Abiēzeriešus sev pakaļ.

But the spirit of the LORD clothed Gideon; and he blew a horn; and Abiezer was gathered together after him.

35 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.

And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh; and they also were gathered together after him; and he sent messengers unto Asher, and unto Zebulun, and unto Naphtali; and they came up to meet them.

36 Un Gideons sacīja uz Dievu: ja Tu Israēli gribi izpestīt caur manu roku, kā Tu esi runājis, -

And Gideon said unto God: 'If Thou wilt save Israel by my hand, as Thou hast spoken,

37 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.

behold, I will put a fleece of wool on the threshing-floor; if there be dew on the fleece only, and it be dry upon all the ground, then shall I know that Thou wilt save Israel by my hand, as Thou hast spoken.'

38 Un tā notika. Jo viņš agri no rīta uzcēlās un izspieda to cirpumu un izgrieza rasu no tā cirpuma, vienu kausu pilnu ar ūdeni.

And it was so; for he rose up early on the morrow, and pressed the fleece together, and wrung dew out of the fleece, a bowlful of water.

39 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.

And Gideon said unto God: 'Let not Thine anger be kindled against me, and I will speak but this once: let me make trial, I pray Thee, but this once with the fleece; let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all the ground let there be dew.'

40 Un Dievs tā darīja tanī naktī; un sausums bija uz tā cirpuma vien, un pa visu zemi bija rasa.

And God did so that night; for it was dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.
