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 said to him, “What is this, that you wanted to do, so that you would not call us when you went to fight against Midian?” And they rebuked him strongly, and came close to using violence.
2 Tad viņš uz tiem sacīja: vai tad es ko esmu darījis, kā jūs? Vai Efraīma salasas nav labākas nekā Abiēzera savākums.
And he responded to them: “But what could I have done that would be so great as what you have done? Is not one bunch of grapes of Ephraim better than the vintages of Abiezer?
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.
The Lord has delivered into your hands the leaders of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb. What could I have done that would be so great as what you have done?” And when he had said this, their spirit, which was swelling up against him, was quieted.
4 Un Gideons nāca pie Jardānes, un gāja pāri ar tiem trīssimt vīriem, kas pie viņa bija, piekusuši no pakaļ dzīšanās.
And when Gideon had arrived at the Jordan, he crossed over it with the three hundred men who were with him. And they were so weary that they were unable to pursue those who were fleeing.
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, “I beg you, give bread to the people who are with me, for they are greatly weakened, so that we may be able to pursue 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?
The leaders of Succoth answered, “Perhaps the palms of the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna are in your hand, and for this reason, you request that we 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.
And he said to them, “So then, when the Lord will have delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into my hands, I will thresh your flesh with the thorns and briers of the desert.”
8 Un viņš gāja no turienes uz Pnuēli un runāja uz tiem tāpat; tad Pnuēles vīri viņam atbildēja, kā Sukotas vīri bija atbildējuši.
And going up from there, he arrived at Penuel. And he spoke to the men of that place similarly. And they also answered him, just as the men of Succoth had answered.
9 Un viņš arī ar Pnuēles vīriem runāja sacīdams: kad es ar mieru griezīšos atpakaļ, tad es šo torni noārdīšu.
And so he said to them also, “When I will have returned as a victor in peace, I will destroy this tower.”
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 resting with their entire army. For fifteen thousand men were left out of all the troops of the eastern people. And one hundred twenty thousand warriors that drew the sword had been cut down.
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 ascended by the way of those who were dwelling in tents, to the eastern part of Nobah and Jogbehah. And he struck the camp of the enemies, who were confident and were suspecting nothing adverse.
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 fled. And Gideon pursued and overtook them, sending their entire army into confusion.
13 Tad Gideons, Joasa dēls, griezās atpakaļ no kaušanās, pirms saule uzlēca.
And returning from the war before sunrise,
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.
he took a boy from among the men of Succoth. And he asked him the names of the leaders and elders of Succoth. And he described 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?
And he went to Succoth, and he said to them: “Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, over whom you rebuked me, saying: ‘Perhaps the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna are in your hands, and for this reason, you request that we give bread to men who are languishing and weakened.’”
16 Un viņš ņēma tās pilsētas vecajus un tuksneša ērkšķus un dadžus un pārmācīja Sukotas vīrus.
Therefore, he took the elders of the city, and, using the thorns and briers of the desert, he threshed them with these, and he cut the men of Succoth to pieces.
17 Un Pnuēles torni viņš noārdīja un nokāva tās pilsētas ļaudis.
He also overturned the tower of Penuel, and he killed the men of the city.
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.
And he said to Zebah and Zalmunna, “What kind of men were those whom you killed at Tabor?” They responded, “They were like you, and one of them was like the son of a king.”
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.
He answered them: “They were my brothers, the sons of my mother. As the Lord lives, if you had preserved them, I would not kill you.”
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.
And he said to Jether, his firstborn son, “Rise up, and put them to death.” But he did not draw his sword. For he was afraid, being 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.
And Zebah and Zalmunna said: “You should rise up and rush against us. For the strength of a man is in accord with his age.” Gideon rose up, and he killed Zebah and Zalmunna. And he took the ornaments and studs, with which the necks of the royal camels are usually adorned.
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.
And all the men of Israel said to Gideon: “You should rule over us, and your son, and your son’s son. For you freed us from the hand of Midian.”
23 Bet Gideons uz tiem sacīja: es negribu pār jums valdīt, nedz mans dēls pār jums valdīs; Tas Kungs pār jums valdīs.
And he said to them: “I will not rule over you. Neither shall my son rule over you. Instead, the Lord shall rule 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.
And he said to them: “I petition one request from you. Give me the earrings from your spoils.” For the Ishmaelites were accustomed to wear gold earrings.
25 Un tie sacīja: mēs dosim. Un tie izklāja drēbi un meta uz to ikkatrs vienu ausu sprādzi no sava laupījuma.
They responded, “We are very willing to give them.” And spreading a cloak on the ground, they cast upon it the earrings from the spoils.
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.
And the weight of the earrings that he requested was one thousand seven hundred shekels of gold, aside from the ornaments, and necklaces, and purple garments, which the kings of Midian were accustomed to use, and aside from the gold chains on the camels.
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 these, and he kept it in his city, Ophrah. And all of Israel committed fornication with it, and it became a ruin to Gideon and to all his house.
28 Tā Midijanieši tapa pazemoti priekš Israēla bērniem un nepacēla vairs savu galvu. Un zemei bija miers četrdesmit gadus, kamēr Gideons dzīvoja.
But Midian was humbled before the sons of Israel. Neither were they able any longer to lift up their necks. But the land rested for forty years, while Gideon presided.
29 Un JerubBaāls, Joasa dēls, nogāja un dzīvoja savā namā.
And so Jerubbaal, the son of Joash, went and lived in his own house.
30 Un Gideonam bija septiņdesmit dēli, kas no viņa gurniem nākuši, jo viņam bija daudz sievas;
And he had seventy sons, who went forth from his own thigh. For he had many wives.
31 Un viņa liekā sieva, kas bija Šehemē, arīdzan viņam dzemdēja dēlu, un viņš tam vārdu nosauca Abimeleks.
But his concubine, whom he had in Shechem, bore him a son named Abimelech.
32 Un Gideons, Joasa dēls, nomira labā vecumā un tapa aprakts sava tēva Joasa kapā, Abiēzeriešu Ovrā.
And Gideon, the son of Joash, died in a good old age, and he was buried in the sepulcher of his father, at Ophrah, of the family of Ezri.
33 Un kad Gideons bija nomiris, tad Israēla bērni nogriezās un maukoja Baāliem pakaļ un iecēla to BaālBeritu sev par dievu.
But after Gideon died, the sons of Israel turned away, and they committed fornication with the Baals. And they struck a covenant with Baal, so that he would be their god.
34 Un Israēla bērni nepieminēja To Kungu, savu Dievu, kas tos bija izglābis no visu ienaidnieku rokas visapkārt.
And they did not remember the Lord their God, who rescued them from the hands of all their enemies on all sides.
35 Un tie nedarīja žēlastību pie JerubBaāla, tas ir Gideona, nama, pēc visa tā labuma, ko viņš bija darījis pie Israēla.
Neither did they show mercy to the house of Jerubbaal Gideon, in accord with all the good that he had done for Israel.
