Sog̒u 8
1 Un Efraīma vīri sacīja uz viņu: kas tas ir, ko tu mums esi darījis, ka tu mūs neesi aicinājis pret Midijaniešiem karot? Un tie ar viņu stipri bārās.
And the men of Ephraim came and said to him, Why did you not send for us when you went to war against Midian? And they said sharp and angry words to him.
2 Tad viņš uz tiem sacīja: vai tad es ko esmu darījis, kā jūs? Vai Efraīma salasas nav labākas nekā Abiēzera savākums.
And he said to them, What have I done in comparison with you? Is not that which Ephraim took up after the grape-cutting better than all the grapes which Abiezer got in from the grape-cutting?
3 Dievs Midijana valdniekus Orebu un Zeēbu nodevis jūsu rokās, - vai tad es ko varēju darīt kā jūs? Tad viņu dusmas pret to aprima, tam šo vārdu runājot.
God has given into your hands the chiefs of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb; what have I been able to do in comparison with you? And when he said this, their feeling about him became kinder.
4 Un Gideons nāca pie Jardānes, un gāja pāri ar tiem trīssimt vīriem, kas pie viņa bija, piekusuši no pakaļ dzīšanās.
Then Gideon came to Jordan and went over it with his three hundred, overcome with weariness and in need of food.
5 Un viņš sacīja uz Sukotas vīriem: dodiet jel kādus maizes klaipus tiem ļaudīm, kas man līdz, jo tie piekusuši; un es dzenos pakaļ Zebum un Calmunum, Midijana ķēniņiem.
And he said to the men of Succoth, Give bread cakes to my people, for they are overcome with weariness, and I am going on after Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian.
6 Tad Sukotas virsnieki sacīja: vai tad Zebus un Calmunus dūre jau ir tavā rokā, ka mums tavam karaspēkam būs maizes dot?
But the chiefs of Succoth said, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna even now in your hand that we are to give bread to your army?
7 Tad Gideons sacīja: nu tad, ja Tas Kungs Zebu un Calmunu dos manā rokā, tad es jūsu miesas kapāšu ar tuksneša ērkšķiem un ar dadžiem.
Then Gideon said, Because of this, when the Lord has given Zebah and Zalmunna into my hands, I will have you stretched on a bed of thorns of the waste land and on sharp stems, and have you crushed as grain is crushed on a grain-floor.
8 Un viņš gāja no turienes uz Pnuēli un runāja uz tiem tāpat; tad Pnuēles vīri viņam atbildēja, kā Sukotas vīri bija atbildējuši.
So he went up from there to Penuel and made the same request to the men of Penuel; but they gave him the same answer as the men of Succoth had given.
9 Un viņš arī ar Pnuēles vīriem runāja sacīdams: kad es ar mieru griezīšos atpakaļ, tad es šo torni noārdīšu.
So he said to the men of Penuel, When I come back in peace, I will have this tower broken down.
10 Bet Zebus un Calmunus bija Karkorā, un viņu karaspēki pie viņiem, kādi piecpadsmit tūkstoši, kas vien bija atlikuši no visa austruma bērnu spēka, jo simts un divdesmit tūkstoš vīri, zobena nesēji, bija gājuši bojā.
Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor and their armies with them, about fifteen thousand men, those of all the army of the children of the east who were still living; for a hundred and twenty thousand of their swordsmen had been put to death.
11 Un Gideons gāja pa telts ļaužu ceļu pret rītiem no Nobas un Jagbeas, un sakāva to karaspēku, jo tas karaspēks tur gulēja it droši.
And Gideon went up by the way used by the people living in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and made an attack on the army when they had no thought of danger.
12 Un Zebus un Calmunus bēga, bet viņš tiem dzinās pakaļ un sagūstīja tos divus Midijaniešu ķēniņus, Zebu un Calmunu, un izbiedēja visu to karaspēku.
And Zebah and Zalmunna went in flight; and he went after them, and took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and put all the army to the curse.
13 Tad Gideons, Joasa dēls, griezās atpakaļ no kaušanās, pirms saule uzlēca.
Then Gideon, the son of Joash, went back from the fight:
14 Un viņš sagūstīja vienu puisi no Sukotas vīriem un to vaicāja; un tas viņam uzrakstīja Sukotas virsniekus un viņas vecajus, septiņdesmit un septiņus vīrus.
And taking prisoner a young man of the people of Succoth, he got from him, in answer to his questions, a list of the chiefs of Succoth and the responsible men, seventy-seven men.
15 Tad viņš nāca pie tiem Sukotas vīriem un sacīja: redz še ir Zebus un Calmunus, kādēļ jūs mani esat apsmējuši sacīdami: vai tad Zebus un Calmunus dūre jau ir tavā rokā, ka mums taviem piekusušiem vīriem būs maizes dot?
So he came to the men of Succoth and said, Here are Zebah and Zalmunna, on account of whom you made sport of me, saying, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna even now in your hand, that we are to give bread to your army who are overcome with weariness?
16 Un viņš ņēma tās pilsētas vecajus un tuksneša ērkšķus un dadžus un pārmācīja Sukotas vīrus.
Then he took the responsible men of the town and had them crushed on a bed of thorns and sharp stems.
17 Un Pnuēles torni viņš noārdīja un nokāva tās pilsētas ļaudis.
And he had the tower of Penuel broken down and the men of the town put to death.
18 Un viņš sacīja uz Zebu un Calmunu: kas tie bija par vīriem, ko jūs Tāborā nokāvāt? Un tie sacīja: tie bija tādi kā tu, visi tādā vaigā, kā ķēniņa bērni.
Then he said to Zebah and Zalmunna, Where are the men whom you put to death at Tabor? And they gave answer, As you are, so were they; every one of them was like a king's son.
19 Un viņš sacīja: tie bija mani brāļi, manas mātes dēli; tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs dzīvo, ja jūs tos būtu atstājuši dzīvus, es jūs nenokautu.
And he said, They were my brothers, my mother's sons: by the life of the Lord, if you had kept them safe, I would not put you to death.
20 Un viņš sacīja uz Jeteru, savu pirmdzimto: celies, nokauj tos. Bet tas zēns neizvilka savu zobenu, jo viņš bijās, tāpēc ka vēl bija jauns.
Then he said to Jether, his oldest son, Up! Put them to death. But the boy did not take out his sword, fearing because he was still a boy.
21 Tad Zebus un Calmunus sacīja: celies pats un sit mūs, jo kāds vīrs, tāds spēks. Tad Gideons cēlās un nokāva Zebu un Calmunu un paņēma tās sprādzes, kas bija ap viņu kamieļu kakliem.
Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, Up! Put an end to us yourself: for you have a man's strength. Then Gideon got up and put Zebah and Zalmunna to death and took the ornaments which were on their camels' necks.
22 Un Israēla vīri sacīja uz Gideonu: valdi pār mums, tu un tavs dēls un tava dēla dēls, tāpēc ka tu mūs esi atpestījis no Midijana rokas.
Then the men of Israel said to Gideon, Be our ruler, you and your son and your son's son after him; for you have been our saviour from the hands of Midian.
23 Bet Gideons uz tiem sacīja: es negribu pār jums valdīt, nedz mans dēls pār jums valdīs; Tas Kungs pār jums valdīs.
But Gideon said to them, I will not be a ruler over you, and my son will not be a ruler over you: it is the Lord who will be ruler over you.
24 Un Gideons uz tiem sacīja: es no jums ko prasīšu: dodiet man ikviens vienu ausu sprādzi no sava laupījuma. Jo tiem bija zelta ausu sprādzes, tāpēc ka tie bija Ismaēlieši.
Then Gideon said to them, I have a request to make to you; let every man give me the ear-rings he has taken. (For they had gold ear-rings, because they were Ishmaelites.)
25 Un tie sacīja: mēs dosim. Un tie izklāja drēbi un meta uz to ikkatrs vienu ausu sprādzi no sava laupījuma.
And they gave answer, We will gladly give them. So they put down a robe, every man dropping into it the ear-rings he had taken.
26 Un to zelta ausu sprādžu svars, ko viņš bija prasījis, bija tūkstoš un septiņi simti zelta sēķeļi, bez tām sprādzēm un ķēdēm un tām purpura drēbēm, kas Midijaniešu ķēniņiem bija mugurā, un bez tām kakla saitēm, kas bija pie viņu kamieļu kakliem.
The weight of the gold ear-rings which he got from them was one thousand, seven hundred shekels of gold; in addition to the moon-ornaments and jewels and the purple robes which were on the kings of Midian, and the chains on their camels' necks.
27 Un Gideons no tā taisīja efodu, un to nolika Ovrā, savā pilsētā, un viss Israēls tur tam maukoja pakaļ, un tas Gideonam un viņa namam palika par slazda valgu. -
And Gideon made an ephod from them and put it up in his town Ophrah; and all Israel went after it there and were false to the Lord; and it became a cause of sin to Gideon and his house.
28 Tā Midijanieši tapa pazemoti priekš Israēla bērniem un nepacēla vairs savu galvu. Un zemei bija miers četrdesmit gadus, kamēr Gideons dzīvoja.
So Midian was broken before the children of Israel and the Midianites never got back their strength. And the land had peace for forty years, in the days of Gideon.
29 Un JerubBaāls, Joasa dēls, nogāja un dzīvoja savā namā.
And Jerubbaal, the son of Joash, went back to his house and was living there.
30 Un Gideonam bija septiņdesmit dēli, kas no viņa gurniem nākuši, jo viņam bija daudz sievas;
Gideon had seventy sons, the offspring of his body; for he had a number of wives.
31 Un viņa liekā sieva, kas bija Šehemē, arīdzan viņam dzemdēja dēlu, un viņš tam vārdu nosauca Abimeleks.
And the servant-wife he had in Shechem had a son by him, to whom he gave the name Abimelech.
32 Un Gideons, Joasa dēls, nomira labā vecumā un tapa aprakts sava tēva Joasa kapā, Abiēzeriešu Ovrā.
And Gideon, the son of Joash, came to his end when he was very old, and his body was put in the resting-place of Joash his father, in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
33 Un kad Gideons bija nomiris, tad Israēla bērni nogriezās un maukoja Baāliem pakaļ un iecēla to BaālBeritu sev par dievu.
And after the death of Gideon, the children of Israel again went after the gods of Canaan and were false to the Lord, and made Baal-berith their god.
34 Un Israēla bērni nepieminēja To Kungu, savu Dievu, kas tos bija izglābis no visu ienaidnieku rokas visapkārt.
And the children of Israel did not keep in their minds the Lord their God, who had been their saviour from all their haters on every side;
35 Un tie nedarīja žēlastību pie JerubBaāla, tas ir Gideona, nama, pēc visa tā labuma, ko viņš bija darījis pie Israēla.
And they were not kind to the house of Jerubbaal, that is, Gideon, in reward for all the good he had done to Israel.
