1 Efraims-mennerne sagde til Gideon: «Korleis er det du hev bore deg imot oss! Kvi sende du’kje bod etter oss då du tok ut i striden mot midjanitare?» Og dei tok kvast på honom.
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 Då sagde han til deim: «Kva hev eg gjort no som kann liknast med det de hev gjort? Var’kje etterrakstren åt Efraim betre enn avlingi åt Abiezer?
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 I dykkar hender gav Gud midjanitar-hovdingarne, Oreb og Ze’eb! Og kva hev eg vunnest gjort, so eg kunde mæla meg med dykk?» Då han tala so, logna dei og var’kje vonde på honom lenger.

5 Då sagde han til Sukkot-mennerne: «Kjære, gjev folki som fylgjer meg nokre matbitar! Dei er trøytte, og eg elter Zebah og Salmunna, Midjans-kongarne.»
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 Men hovdingarne i Sukkot sagde: «Hev du alt fenge kloi i Zebah og Salmunna, sidan me skal gjeva heren din mat?»
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.

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 So for han upp til Penuel, og tala like eins der, og Penuels-mennerne svara honom på same vis som Sukkot-buarne hadde svara.
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.

And he said also to [the] men of Penuel saying when return I in peace I will tear down the tower this.
10 Zebah og Salmunna låg i Karkor med heren sin, um lag femtan tusund mann; det var alt som var att av heile austmannheren, og hundrad og tjuge tusund våpnføre menner var falne.
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 Og Gideon for uppetter driftevegen austanfor Nobah og Jogbea og kom yver fiendeheren, med dei låg ottelause i lægret.
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 og Salmunna rømde, men han sette etter deim; han tok båe Midjans-kongarne, Zebah og Salmunna, og støkte heile heren ifrå einannan.
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 Då Gideon Joasson var komen til Solskardet, vende han heim att frå striden.
And he returned Gideon [the] son of Joash from the battle from to [the] ascent of Heres.
14 Han fekk tak i ein gut som høyrde heime i Sukkot, og spurde honom ut; og guten skreiv upp for honom hovdingarne og styresmennerne i Sukkot, sju og sytti mann.
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.

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.

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 Penuelborgi reiv han ned, og slo i hel mennerne i byen.

18 Sidan sagde han til Zebah og Salmunna: «Korleis såg dei ut, dei mennerne som de slo i hel på Tabor?» «Dei var like eins som du, » svara dei. «Kvar var som ein kongsson på skapnad».
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 «Då var det brørne mine, » sagde han, «sønerne åt mi eigi mor. So sant Herren liver: hadde de spart livet deira, skulde eg ikkje ha drepe dykk.»
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 So sagde han til Jeter, eldste son sin: «Gakk fram, og slå deim i hel!» Men guten drog ikkje sverdet sitt. Han torde ikkje; han var endå berre ein gut.
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 Då sagde Zebah og Salmunna: «Kom du og hogg oss ned! Det vil manns nerk til å gjera manns verk.» So gjekk Gideon fram, og slo Zebah og Salmunna i hel, og tok sylgjorne som kamelarne deira hadde kring halsen.
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 Og Israels-mennerne sagde til Gideon: «Du skal vera kongen vår, både du og son din og soneson din; for du hev berga oss frå midjanitarne!»
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 Men Gideon svara: «Ikkje vil eg vera kongen dykkar, og ikkje skal son min vera det; Herren skal vera kongen dykkar!»
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 Sidan sagde Gideon til deim: «Eg vil beda dykk um ein ting: at de alle vil gjeva meg dei ringarne de hev vunne i krigen!» For Midjans-mennerne gjekk med gullringar; dei var ismaelitar.
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 «Det skal du då visst få, » svara dei. So breidde dei ut ei kåpa, og på den kasta alle mann dei ringarne dei hadde vunne i krigen.
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 Då dei so vog gullringane som han hadde bede um, so var det halvonnor vog gull, umfram gullsylgjorne og øyredobborne og purpurklædi som midjanitarkongarne hadde havt på seg, og umfram lekkjorne som kamelarne deira hadde bore kring halsen.
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 Av gullet gjorde Gideon eit gudsbilæte. Det sette han upp i Ofra, heimbygdi si; heile Israel dyrka det der som ein avgud, og det vart til ulukka for Gideon og hans hus.
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 Soleis laut Midjan bøygja seg under Israel, og vann ikkje reisa hovudet meir, og sidan hadde landet ro i fyrti år, so lenge som Gideon livde.
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 So for Jerubba’al Joasson heim att til garden sin, og vart buande der.
And he went Jerub-Baal [the] son of Joash and he dwelt in own house his.
30 Han, Gideon, hadde sytti søner, som var hans eigne born; for han hadde mange konor.
And to Gideon they belonged seventy sons [who] came out of thigh his for wives many they belonged to him.
31 Med fylgjekona si i Sikem fekk han ein son, og kalla han Abimelek.
And concubine his who [was] in Shechem she bore to him also she a son and he made name his Abimelech.
32 Gideon Joasson døydde i høg alder, og vart nedsett i gravstaden åt Joas, far sin, i Ofra, bygdi åt Abiezer-ætti.
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 Då Gideon var burte, tok Israels-sønerne atter til å halda seg med avgudarne, og gjorde Sambands-Ba’al til guden sin.
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 Israels-sønerne kom ikkje i hug Herren, sin Gud, som hadde berga deim frå alle fiendar rundt ikring;
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 og dei gjorde ikkje vel mot Jerubba’als, Gideons, ætt for alt det gode han hadde gjort Israel.
And not they did loyalty with [the] house of Jerub-Baal Gideon according to all the good which he had done with Israel.
