Sudije 7
1 I urani Jeroval, to je Gedeon, i sav narod što bijaše s njim, i stadoše u oko kod izvora Aroda; a vojska Madijanska bješe mu sa sjevera kraj gore Moreha u dolini.
And Jerobaal rose early, the same is Gedeon, and all the people with him, and encamped at the fountain of Arad; and the camp of Madiam was to the north of him, [reaching] from Gabaathamorai, in the valley.
2 A Gospod reèe Gedeonu: mnogo je naroda s tobom, zato im neæu dati Madijana u ruke, da se ne bi hvalio Izrailj suprot meni govoreæi: moja me ruka izbavi.
And the Lord said to Gedeon, The people with you [are] many, so that I may not deliver Madiam into their hand, lest at any time Israel boast against me, saying, My hand has saved me.
3 Nego sada oglasi da èuje narod i reci: ko se boji i koga je strah, neka se vrati i nek ide odmah ka gori Galadu. I vrati se iz naroda dvadeset i dvije tisuæe; a deset tisuæa osta.
And now speak in the ears of the people, saying, Who [is] afraid and fearful? let him turn and depart from mount Galaad: and there returned of the people twenty-two thousand, and ten thousand were left.
4 Opet reèe Gospod Gedeonu: još je mnogo naroda; svedi ih na vodu, i ondje æu ti ih prebrati; za kojega ti god reèem: taj neka ide s tobom, neka ide s tobom; a za koga ti god reèem: taj neka ne ide s tobom, neka ne ide.
And the Lord said to Gedeon, The people is yet numerous; bring them down to the water, and I will purge them there for you: and it shall come to pass that of whoever I shall say to you, This one shall go with you, [even] he shall go with you; and of whoever I shall say to you, This one shall not go with you, [even] he shall not go with you.
5 I svede narod na vodu; a Gospod reèe Gedeonu: koji stane laptati jezikom vodu, kao što lapæe pas, metni ga na stranu; tako i svakoga koji klekne na koljena da pije.
And he brought the people down to the water; and the Lord said to Gedeon, Whosoever shall lap of the water with his tongue as if a dog should lap, you shall set him apart, and [also] whoever shall bow down upon his knees to drink.
6 I onijeh koji laptaše, rukom svojom k ustima prinesavši vodu, bješe tri stotine ljudi; a sav ostali narod kleèe na koljena svoja da piju vode.
And the number of those that lapped with their hand to their mouth was three hundred men; and all the rest of the people bowed upon their knees to drink water.
7 Tada reèe Gospod Gedeonu: s tijeh trista ljudi koji laptaše vodu izbaviæu vas i predaæu ti u ruke Madijane; neka dakle odlazi sav ovaj narod svaki na svoje mjesto.
And the Lord said to Gedeon, I will save you by the three hundred men that lapped, and I will give Madiam into your hand; and all the [rest of the] people shall go every one to his place.
8 I narod uze brašnjenice i trube; i Gedeon otpusti sve ljude Izrailjce da idu svaki u svoj šator, a onijeh trista ljudi zadrža. A oko Madijanski bijaše niže njega u dolini.
And they took the provision of the people in their hand, and their horns; and he sent away every man of Israel each to his tent, and he strengthened the three hundred; and the army of Madiam were beneath him in the valley.
9 I onu noæ reèe mu Gospod: ustani, siði u oko, jer ti ga dadoh u ruke.
And it came to pass in that night that the Lord said to him, Arise, go down into the camp, for I have delivered it into your hand.
10 Ako li se bojiš sam siæi, siði u oko sa Furom momkom svojim,
And if you are afraid to go down, go down you and your servant Phara into the camp.
11 I èuæeš šta govore, pa æe ti osiliti ruke i udariæeš na oko. I siðe on i Fura momak njegov do kraja vojske koja bijaše u okolu.
And you shall hear what they shall say, and afterwards your hands shall be strong, and you shall go down into the camp: and he went down and Phara his servant to the extremity of the [companies of] fifty, which were in the camp.
12 A Madijani i Amalici i sav narod istoèni ležahu po dolini kao skakavci, tako ih bješe mnogo; i kamilama njihovijem ne bješe broja; bješe ih mnogo kao pijeska po brijegu morskom.
And Madiam and Amalec and all the children of the east [were] scattered in the valley, as the locust for multitude; and there was no number to their camels, but they were as the sand on the seashore for multitude.
13 I kad doðe Gedeon, a to jedan pripovijedaše drugu svojemu san, i govoraše: gle, usnih, a to peèen hljeb jeèmen kotrljaše se k okolu Madijanskom i doðe do šatora i stade udarati o njih, te padahu, i ispremeta ih, i popadaše šatori.
And Gedeon came, and behold a man [was] relating to his neighbour a dream, and he said, Behold, I have dreamt a dream, and behold, a cake of barley bread rolling into the camp of Madiam, and it came as far as a tent, and struck it, and it fell, and it turned it up, and the tent fell.
14 A drug mu odgovori i reèe: to nije drugo nego maè Gedeona sina Joasova èovjeka Izrailjca; predao mu je u ruke Bog Madijane i sav ovaj oko.
And his neighbour answered and said, This is none other than the sword of Gedeon, son of Joas, a man of Israel: God has delivered Madiam and all the host into his hand.
15 I kad Gedeon èu kako onaj pripovjedi san i kako ga ovaj istumaèi, pokloni se i vrati se u oko Izrailjski i reèe: ustajte, jer vam dade Gospod u ruke oko Madijanski.
And it came to pass when Gedeon heard the account of the dream and the interpretation of it, that he worshipped the Lord, and returned to the camp of Israel, and said, Rise, for the Lord has delivered the camp of Madiam into our hand.
16 Potom razdijeli trista ljudi u tri èete, i dade svakome po trubu u ruku i po prazan žban i po luè u žban.
And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and put horns in the hands of all, and empty pitchers, and torches in the pitchers:
17 I reèe im: na mene gledajte, pa tako èinite; gle, je æu doæi na kraj okola, pa šta ja ušèinim, to èinite.
and he said to them, You shall look at me, and so shall you do; and behold, I will go into the beginning of the host, and it shall come to pass [that] as I do, so shall you do.
18 Kad ja zatrubim u trubu i svi koji budu sa mnom, tada i vi zatrubite u trube oko svega okola, i vièite: maè Gospodnji i Gedeonov.
And I will sound with the horn, and all you with me shall sound with the horn round about the whole camp, and you shall say, For the Lord and Gedeon.
19 I doðe Gedeon i sto ljudi što bijahu s njim na kraj okola, u poèetak srednje straže, istom bijahu promijenili stražu; a oni zatrubiše u trube i polupaše žbanove koje imahu u rukama.
And Gedeon and the hundred men that were with him came to the extremity of the army in the beginning of the middle watch; and they completely roused the guards, and sounded with the horns, and they broke the pitchers that were in their hands,
20 Tako tri èete zatrubiše u trube i polupaše žbanove, i držahu u lijevoj ruci luèeve a u desnoj trube trubeæi, i povikaše: maè Gospodnji i Gedeonov.
and the three companies sounded with the horns, and broke the pitchers, and held the torches in their left hands, and in their right hands their horns to sound with; and they cried out, A sword for the Lord and for Gedeon.
21 I stadoše svaki na svom mjestu oko vojske; a sva se vojska smete i stadoše vikati i bježati.
And [every] man stood in his place round about the host; and all the host ran, and sounded [an alarm], and fled.
22 A kad zatrubiše u trube onijeh tri stotine, Gospod obrati maè svakome na druga njegova po svemu okolu, te pobježe vojska do Vet-Asete, u Zererat, do obale Avel-meolske kod Tavata.
And they sounded with the three hundred horns; and the Lord set [every] man's sword in all the host against his neighbour.
23 A Izrailjci iz plemena Neftalimova i Asirova i iz svega plemena Manasijina stekoše se i goniše Madijane.
And the host fled as far as Bethseed Tagaragatha Abel-meula to Tabath; and the men of Israel from Nephthali, and from Aser, and from all Manasse, came to help, and followed after Madiam.
24 I Gedeon posla glasnike po svoj gori Jefremovoj govoreæi: siðite pred Madijane i uhvatite im vode do Vetvare duž Jordana. I stekoše se svi ljudi iz plemena Jefremova i uhvatiše vode do Vetvare duž Jordana.
And Gedeon sent messengers into all mount Ephraim, saying, Come down to meet Madiam, and take to yourselves the water as far as Baethera and Jordan: and every man of Ephraim cried out, and they took the water before hand to Baethera and Jordan.
25 I uhvatiše dva kneza Madijanska, Oriva i Ziva, i ubiše Oriva na stijeni Orivovoj, a Ziva ubiše kod tijeska Zivova; i goniše Madijane, i donesoše glavu Orivovu i Zivovu ka Gedeonu preko Jordana.
And they took the princess of Madiam, even Oreb and Zeb; and they killed Oreb in Sur Oreb, and they killed Zeb in Jakephzeph; and they pursued Madiam, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeb to Gedeon from beyond Jordan.
