< 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.
Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people that were with him, rose up early, and pitched beside the spring of Harod: and the camp of Midian was on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, 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 unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath 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.
Now therefore go to, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and trembling, let him return and depart from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand.
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 unto Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go.
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.
So he brought down the people unto the water: and the LORD said unto Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth 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 them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down 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 unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the people go every man unto 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.
So the people took victuals in their hand, and their trumpets: and he sent all the men of Israel every man unto his tent, but retained the three hundred men: and the camp of Midian was 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 the same night, that the LORD said unto him, Arise, get thee down into the camp; for I have delivered it into thine hand.
10 Ako li se bojiš sam siæi, siði u oko sa Furom momkom svojim,
But if thou fear to go down, go thou with Purah thy servant down to 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 thou shalt hear what they say; and afterward shall thine hands be strengthened to go down into the camp. Then went he down with Purah his servant unto the outermost part of the armed men that 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 the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like locusts for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand which is upon the sea shore 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 when Gideon was come, behold, there was a man that told a dream unto his fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and, lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian, and came unto the tent, and smote it that it fell, and turned it upside down, that the tent lay along.
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 fellow answered and said, This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: into his hand God hath delivered Midian, and all the host.
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 was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he worshipped; and he returned into the camp of Israel, and said, Arise; for the LORD hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian.
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 he put into the hands of all of them trumpets, and empty pitchers, with torches within 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 unto them, Look on me, and do likewise: and, behold, when I come to the outermost part of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall ye 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.
When I blow the trumpet, I and all that are with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, For the LORD and for Gideon.
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.
So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outermost part of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch, when they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and brake in pieces 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 blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the torches in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow withal: and they cried, The sword of the LORD and of Gideon.
21 I stadoše svaki na svom mjestu oko vojske; a sva se vojska smete i stadoše vikati i bježati.
And they stood every man in his place round about the camp: and all the host ran; and they shouted, and put [them] to flight.
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 blew the three hundred trumpets, and the LORD set every man’s sword against his fellow, and against all the host: and the host fled as far as Beth-shittah toward Zererah, as far as the border of Abel-meholah, by Tabbath.
23 A Izrailjci iz plemena Neftalimova i Asirova i iz svega plemena Manasijina stekoše se i goniše Madijane.
And the men of Israel were gathered together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after Midian.
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 Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill country of Ephraim, saying, Come down against Midian, and take before them the waters, as far as Beth-barah, even Jordan. So all the men of Ephraim were gathered together, and took the waters as far as Beth-barah, even 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 two princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb; and they slew Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and Zeeb they slew at the winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian: and they brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon beyond Jordan.
