Sudije 8
1 A ljudi od plemena Jefremova rekoše mu: šta nam to uèini te nas ne pozva kad poðe u boj na Madijane? I vikahu na nj žestoko.
And the men of Ephraim said to Gedeon, What [is] this [that] you have done to us, in that you did not call us when you went to fight with Madiam? and they chode with him sharply.
2 A on im reèe: pa šta sam uèinio tako kao vi? nije li pabirèenje Jefremovo bolje nego berba Avijezerova?
And he said to them, What have I now done in comparison of you? [is] not the gleaning of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?
3 Vama je u ruke dao Gospod knezove Madijanske, Oriva i Ziva; pa što ja mogoh uèiniti tako kao vi? Tada se utiša duh njihov prema njemu kad tako govori.
The Lord has delivered into your hand the princes of Madiam, Oreb and Zeb; and what could I do in comparison of you? Then was their spirit calmed toward him, when he spoke this word.
4 A kad Gedeon doðe na Jordan, prijeðe preko njega s trista ljudi koji bjehu s njim, a bjehu umorni goneæi.
And Gedeon came to Jordan, and went over, himself and the three hundred with him, hungry, yet pursuing.
5 Pa reèe ljudima Sokoæanima: dajte nekoliko hljebova narodu koji ide za mnom, jer su umorni, a ja gonim Zeveja i Salmana careve Madijanske.
And he said to the men of Socchoth, Give, I pray you, bread to feed this people that follow me; because they are faint, and behold, I am following after Zebee and Salmana, kings of Madiam.
6 A glavari Sokotski rekoše mu: je li pesnica Zevejeva i Salmanova veæ u tvojoj ruci da damo hljeba tvojoj vojsci?
And the princes of Socchoth said, [Are] the hands of Zebee and Salmana now in your hand, that we should give bread to your host?
7 A Gedeon im reèe: kad mi Bog preda Zeveja i Salmana u ruku, tada æu pomlatiti tjelesa vaša trnjem iz ove pustinje i draèom.
And Gedeon said, Therefore when the Lord gives Zebee and Salmana into my hand, then will I tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness, and the Barkenim.
8 I otide odande u Fanuil, i reèe Fanuiljanima isto onako, a oni mu odgovoriše kao što odgovoriše ljudi u Sokotu.
And he went up thence to Phanuel, and spoke to them likewise: and the men of Phanuel answered him as the men of Socchoth [had] answered him.
9 Zato i ljudima Fanuiljanima reèe: kad se vratim zdravo, razvaliæu tu kulu.
And Gedeon said to the men of Phanuel, When I return in peace, I will break down this tower.
10 A Zevej i Salman bijahu u Karkoru, i vojska njihova s njima, oko petnaest tisuæa, što ih god osta od sve vojske istoène; a pobijenijeh bijaše sto i dvadeset tisuæa ljudi koji mahahu maèem.
And Zebee and Salmana [were] in Carcar, and their host [was] with them, about fifteen thousand, all that were left of all the host of the aliens; and they that fell [were] a hundred and twenty thousand men that drew the sword.
11 I otide Gedeon preko onijeh što žive pod šatorima, s istoka Novi i Jogveji, i udari na vojsku kad vojska stajaše bezbrižna.
And Gedeon went up by the way of them that lived in tents, eastward of Nabai and Jegebal; and he struck the host, and the host was secure.
12 A Zevej i Salman pobjegoše, a on ih potjera, i uhvati dva cara Madijanska, Zeveja i Salmana, i raspudi svu vojsku.
And Zebee and Salmana fled; and he pursued after them, and took the two kings of Madiam, Zebee and Salmana, and discomfited all the army.
13 I vrati se Gedeon sin Joasov iz boja prije sunèanoga roðaja.
And Gedeon the son of Joas returned from the battle, down from the battle of Ares.
14 I uhvati momka iz Sokota, i ispitiva ga; a on mu popisa knezove Sokotske i starješine, sedamdeset i sedam ljudi.
And he took prisoner a young lad of the men of Socchoth, and questioned him; and he wrote to him the names of the princes of Socchoth and of their elders, seventy-seven men.
15 Pa kad doðe k Sokoæanima, reèe: evo Zeveja i Salmana, za koje mi se rugaste govoreæi: je li pesnica Zevejeva i Salmanova veæ u tvojoj ruci, da damo hljeba umornijem ljudima tvojim?
And Gedeon came to the princes of Socchoth, and said, Behold Zebee and Salmana, about whom you reproached me, saying, [Are] the hands of Zebee and Salmana now in your hand, that we should give bread to your men that are faint?
16 I uzevši starješine onoga mjesta i trnja iz pustinje i draèe dade na njima ugled Sokoæanima.
And he took the elders of the city with the thorns of the wilderness and the Barkenim, and with them he tore the men of the city.
17 I kulu Fanuilsku razvali i pobi ljude tamošnje.
And he overthrew the tower of Phanuel, and killed the men of the city.
18 Potom reèe Zeveju i Salmanu: kaki bjehu ljudi koje pobiste na Tavoru? A oni rekoše: taki kao ti; svaki bješe na oèima kao carski sin.
And he said to Zebee and Salmana, Where [are] the men whom you killed in Thabor? and they said, As you, so [were] they, according to the likeness of the son of a king.
19 A on reèe: to bjehu moja braæa, sinovi moje matere. Tako Gospod bio živ! da ste ih ostavili u životu, ne bih vas pogubio.
And Gedeon said, They were my brethren and the sons of my mother: [as] the Lord lives, if you had preserved them alive, I would not have slain you.
20 Tada reèe Jeteru prvencu svojemu: ustani, pogubi ih. Ali dijete ne izvuèe maèa svojega, jer se bojaše, jer bješe još dijete.
And he said to Jether his firstborn, Rise and kill them; but the lad drew not his sword, for he was afraid, for he was yet very young.
21 Tada reèe Zevej i Salman: ustani ti, uloži na nas; jer kakav je èovjek onaka mu je i snaga. I ustavši Gedeon pogubi Zeveja i Salmana, i uze mjeseèiæe koji bijahu o vratovima kamila njihovijeh.
And Zebee and Salmana said, Rise you and fall upon us, for your power [is] as that of a man; and Gedeon arose, and killed Zebee and Salmana: and he took the round ornaments that were on the necks of their camels.
22 Potom rekoše Izrailjci Gedeonu: budi nam gospodar ti i sin tvoj i sin sina tvojega, jer si nas izbavio iz ruke Madijanske.
And the men of Israel said to Gedeon, Rule, [my] lord, over us, both you, and your son, and your son's son; for you have saved us out of the hand of Madiam.
23 A Gedeon im reèe: neæu vam ja biti gospodar, niti æe vam sin moj biti gospodar; Gospod æe vam biti Gospodar.
And Gedeon said to them, I will not rule, and my son shall not rule among you; the Lord shall rule over you.
24 Još im reèe Gedeon: jedno æu iskati od vas: da mi date svaki grivnu od plijena svojega. A grivne imahu zlatne, jer bjehu Ismailjci.
And Gedeon said to them, I will make a request of you, and do you give me every man an earring out of his spoils: for they had golden earrings, for they were Ismaelites.
25 I odgovoriše: daæemo drage volje. I razastrvši haljinu bacaše na nju grivne, svaki od plijena svojega.
And they said, We will certainly give them: and he opened his garment, and each man cast therein an earring of his spoils.
26 I bješe na mjeru zlatnijeh grivana što iziska tisuæa i sedam stotina sikala zlata, osim mjeseèiæa i lanèiæa i haljina skerletnijeh, što nošahu carevi Madijanski, i osim litarova, što bijahu oko vrata kamila njihovijeh.
And the weight of the golden earrings which he asked, was a thousand and seven hundred pieces of gold, besides the crescents, and the chains, and the garments, and the purple cloths that were on the kings of Madiam, and besides the chains that were on the necks of their camels.
27 I Gedeon naèini od toga opleæak, i ostavi ga u svojem gradu Ofri; i ondje sav Izrailj stade èiniti preljubu za njim, i bi Gedeonu i domu njegovu zamka.
And Gedeon made an ephod of it, an set it in his city in Ephratha; and all Israel went there a whoring after it, and it became a stumbling block to Gedeon and his house.
28 Tako biše pokoreni Madijani pred sinovima Izrailjevijem, i više ne digoše glave. I zemlja bi mirna èetrdeset godina za vijeka Gedeonova.
And Madiam, was straitened before the children of Israel, and they did not lift up their head any more; and the land had rest forty years in the days of Gedeon.
29 I otišav Jeroval sin Joasov osta u svojoj kuæi.
And Jerobaal the son of Joas went and sat in his house.
30 A imaše Gedeon sedamdeset sinova, koji izidoše od bedara njegovijeh, jer imaše mnogo žena.
And Gedeon had seventy sons begotten of his body, for he had many wives.
31 A inoèa njegova, koja bijaše u Sihemu, i ona mu rodi sina, i nadje mu ime Avimeleh.
And his concubine was in Sychem, and she also bore him a son, and gave him the name Abimelech.
32 Potom umrije Gedeon sin Joasov u dobroj starosti, i bi pogreben u grobu Joasa oca svojega Avijezerita u Ofri.
And Gedeon son of Joas died in his city, and he was buried in the sepulchre of Joas his father in Ephratha of Abi-Esdri.
33 A kad umrije Gedeon, opet sinovi Izrailjevi èiniše preljubu za Valima, i postaviše sebi Val-Verita za boga.
And it came to pass when Gedeon was dead, that the children of Israel turned, and went a whoring after Baalim, and made for themselves a covenant with Baal that he should be their god.
34 I ne sjeæaše se sinovi Izrailjevi Gospoda Boga svojega, koji ih je izbavio iz ruku svijeh neprijatelja njihovijeh unaokolo,
And the children of Israel remembered not the Lord their God who had delivered them out of the hand of all that afflicted them round about.
35 I ne uèiniše milosti domu Jerovala Gedeona prema svemu dobru što je on uèinio Izrailju.
And they did not deal mercifully with the house of Jerobaal, (the same is Gedeon) according to all the good which he did to Israel.
