Sog̒u 7
1 Tad JerubBaāls, tas ir Gideons, un visi ļaudis, kas pie viņa, agri cēlās un apmetās pie Aroda avota, tā ka Midijaniešu karaspēks viņam bija pret ziemeļa pusi, aiz Mores pakalna, ielejā.
Then Jerubbaal, the same, is Gideon, and all the people that were with him, rose up early, and encamped by the fountain of Harod, —and, the camp of Midian, was on the north of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the vale.
2 Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz Gideonu: Pārāk daudz ļaužu ir pie tevis, nekā Es dotu Midijaniešus viņu rokā; lai Israēls pret Mani nelielās un nesaka: mana roka mani izpestījusi.
And Yahweh said unto Gideon, Too many, are the people that are with thee, for me to deliver the Midianites into their hand, —lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand, hath saved me.
3 Tad izsauc jel to ļaužu ausīs un saki: kas šaubīgs un bailīgs, lai griežas atpakaļ un steidzās projām no Gileāda kalna. Tad no tiem ļaudīm griezās atpakaļ divdesmit divi tūkstoši, un tik desmit tūkstoši atlika.
Now, therefore, proclaim, I pray thee, in the ears of the people, saying, Whoso feareth and trembleth—let him turn and go back from Mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty-two thousand, and, ten thousand, remained.
4 Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz Gideonu: ļaužu vēl ir par daudz; noved tos pie ūdens, tur Es tos tev pārbaudīšu, un par kuru Es uz tevi sacīšu: šim būs iet ar tevi, tas lai iet ar tevi, bet par kuru Es tev sacīšu, tam nebūs iet ar tevi, tas lai neiet.
Then said Yahweh unto Gideon—Yet, are the people too many, take them down unto the waters, that I may prove them for thee, there, —and it shall be, that, he of whom I say unto thee, This one, shall go with thee, the same, shall go with thee, and, every one of whom I say unto thee, This one, shall not go with thee, the same, shall not go.
5 Un viņš tos ļaudis noveda pie ūdens. Tad Tas Kungs sacīja uz Gideonu: ikkatru, kas ar savu mēli ūdeni laks, kā suns lok, to nostādi par sevi, un tāpat ikkatru, kas nometīsies ceļos dzert.
So he took down the people unto the waters, —and Yahweh said unto Gideon—Every one that lappeth with his tongue of the water, as a dog lappeth, thou shalt set him by himself, likewise, every one that boweth down upon his knees, to drink.
6 Un to pulks, kas no savas rokas pie mutes bija lakuši, bija trīssimt vīri, bet visi citi ļaudis bija ūdeni dzēruši ceļos nometušies.
And so it was, that, the number of them that lapped with their hand to their mouth, was three hundred men, —but, all the rest of the people, bowed down on their knees, to drink water.
7 Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz Gideonu: caur šiem trīs simti vīriem, kas lakuši, Es jūs izpestīšu un nodošu Midijaniešus tavā rokā; tāpēc atlaid visus citus ļaudis, ikvienu uz savu vietu.
Then said Yahweh unto Gideon—By the three hundred men that lapped, will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thy hand; and let, all [the rest of] the people, go every man to his own place.
8 Un tie ļaudis ņēma savu maizi savā rokā un savas trumetes, bet visus citus Israēla vīrus viņš atlaida, ikvienu uz savu dzīvokli, un tos trīs simti vīrus viņš paturēja, un Midijaniešu karaspēks viņam bija ielejas pusē.
So the people took provisions in their hand, and their horns, but, every man of Israel besides, sent he away every man to his home, whereas, the three hundred men, he retained. Now, the camp of Midian, was beneath him in the vale.
9 Un notika tanī naktī, ka Tas Kungs uz viņu sacīja: celies, noej uz lēģeri, jo Es to esmu devis tavā rokā.
And it came to pass, on that night, that Yahweh said unto him, Arise! go down against the camp, —for I have delivered it into thy hand.
10 Bet ja tev ir bail noiet, tad noej uz to lēģeri tu un Purus, tavs puisis,
Or, if, thou, art afraid to go down, go down—thou and Purah thy young man, unto the camp;
11 Tad tu dzirdēsi, ko tie runā, un pēc tam tavas rokas stiprināsies, un tu celsies pret to lēģeri. Tad viņš nogāja ar Puru, savu puisi, pie tiem pirmiem apbruņotiem, kas bija lēģerī.
so shalt thou hear what they shall say, —and, afterward, shall thy hands grow strong, and thou shalt go down against the camp. Then went he down, he and Purah his young man, unto the outmost part of the armed men that were in the camp.
12 Un Midijanieši un Amalekieši un visi tie austruma bērni gulēja ielejā kā siseņu pulks, un viņu kamieļu pulku nevarēja skaitīt, kā smiltis jūrmalā.
Now, the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the sons of the east, were lying along in the vale, like locusts for multitude, —their camels also, were without number, as the sand that is by the sea side, for multitude.
13 Kad nu Gideons nonāca, redzi, tur viens savam biedram stāstīja sapni un sacīja: redzi, es esmu sapni redzējis, un redzi, cepta miežu maize vēlās Midijaniešu lēģerī un atnāca līdz pat teltij un to sita, ka tā krita, un to pavisam apgāza, un telts gulēja (pie zemes).
And Gideon came in, and lo! a man relating to his neighbour a dream, —and he said—Lo! a dream, have I dreamt, and lo! a round cake of barley bread tumbling into the camp of Midian, and it came as far as the tent—and smote it that it fell, and turned it upside down, and the tent lay along.
14 Tad viņa biedrs atbildēja un sacīja: tas nav nekas cits, kā Gideona, Joasa dēla, tā Israēlieša, zobens; Dievs Midijaniešus un visu šo lēģeri devis viņa rokā.
Then responded his neighbour and said: —Nothing else, is this, than the sword of Gideon son of Joash, a man of Israel, —God hath delivered into his hand, both Midian and all the host.
15 Un kad Gideons dzirdēja šā sapņa stāstīšanu un izskaidrošanu, tad viņš pielūdza Dievu, griezās atpakaļ uz Israēla lēģeri un sacīja: ceļaties, jo Tas Kungs Midijaniešu karaspēku devis jūsu rokās.
And it was so, when Gideon heard the story of the dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he bowed himself down, —and returned unto the camp of Israel, and said—Arise! for Yahweh hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian.
16 Un viņš dalīja tos trīs simtI vīrus trijos pulkos, un deva visiem trumetes un tukšas krūzes rokā un lāpas krūzēs.
And he divided the three hundred men, into three companies, —and put horns into the hands of them all, with empty pitchers, and torches inside the pitchers.
17 Un viņš uz tiem sacīja: skatāties uz mani un tā dariet; un redzi, kad es nākšu pie lēģera malas, tad dariet jūs tā, kā es daru.
Then he said unto them, On me, shall ye look, and, in like manner, shall ye do, —and lo! when I am coming unto the outermost part of the camp, then shall it be, that, as I do, so, shall ye do.
18 Kad es trumetēšu, es un visi, kas pie manis, tad jums arīdzan būs trumetēt ap visu lēģeri un saukt: Tā Kunga un Gideona (zobens)!
When I shall blow with the horn, I and all who are with me, then shall, ye also, round about all the camp, blow with your horns, and shall say, For Yahweh and for Gideon!
19 Tad Gideons un tie simts vīri ar viņu nāca pie lēģera malas ap nakts vidu, kad nule sargi bija mainīti, un tie pūta trumetēs un sadauzīja tās krūzes savās rokās.
So Gideon came, and the hundred men that were with him, unto the outermost part of the camp, at the beginning of the middle watch, they had but, newly set, the watchers, —and they blew with the horns, and brake in pieces the pitchers, that were in their hand.
20 Tā tie trīs pulki pūta trumetēs un sadauzīja tās krūzes un turēja ar kreiso roku tās lāpas un savā labajā rokā tās trumetes un pūta un kliedza: Tā Kunga un Gideona zobens.
Yea the three companies blew with the horns, and shivered the pitchers, and caught hold—with their left hands—of the torches, while, in their right hands, were the horns, to blow with, —and they cried, A sword for Yahweh, and for Gideon!
21 Un tie stāvēja ikviens savā vietā ap to lēģeri. Tad viss karaspēks sāka skriet un tie brēca un bēga.
And they stood still, every man in his place, round about the camp, —and all the host ran and shouted, and fled.
22 Jo kad tie trīs simti vīri trumetēs pūta, tad Tas Kungs grieza viena zobenu pret otru visā lēģerī, un tas karaspēks bēga līdz BetZitai uz Careratas pusi, līdz AbelMeolas robežai pie Tābatas.
When the three hundred blew the horns, Yahweh set the sword of every man, against his neighbour, and against all the host, —and the host fled, as far as the Place of Acacias, towards Zererath, as far as the border of Abel-meholah, by Tabbath.
23 Tad Israēla vīri tapa sasaukti no Naftalus un no Ašera un no visa Manasus, un tie dzinās pakaļ Midijanam.
And the men of Israel were called together, out of Naphtali and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, —and pursued Midian.
24 Un Gideons sūtīja vēstnešus uz visiem Efraīma kalniem un sacīja: nonāciet pretī Midijaniešiem un aizstājiet tiem to ūdeni līdz Betbarai un Jardāni. Tā visi Efraīma vīri tika sasaukti un aizstāja to ūdeni līdz Betbarai un Jardāni.
And, messengers, did Gideon send through all the hill country of Ephraim, saying—Go down to meet Midian, and capture, before them, the waters, as far as Beth-barah, and the Jordan. So all the men of Ephraim were called out, and captured the waters, as far as Beth-barah, and the Jordan.
25 Un tie gūstīja divus Midijaniešu valdniekus, Orebu un Zeēbu, un nokāva Orebu pie Oreb akmens, un Zeēbu tie nokāva pie Zeēba spaida un dzinās pakaļ Midijanam un nonesa Oreba un Zeēba galvas pie Gideona viņpus Jardānes.
And they captured the two princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb, and slew Oreb at Oreb’s Rock, and, Zeeb, they slew at Zeeb’s Winepress, and pursued Midian, —and, the heads of Oreb and Zeeb, brought they in unto Gideon at the ford of the Jordan.
