Sodniki 8
1 Možje iz Efrájima so mu rekli: »Zakaj si nam tako služil, da nas nisi poklical, ko si odhajal, da bi se bojeval z Midjánci?« In ostro so se pričkali z njim.
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 Rekel jim je: »Kaj sem torej storil v primerjavi z vami? Mar ni Efrájimovo paberkovanje boljše kakor Abiézerjeva trgatev?
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 Bog je v vaše roke izročil midjánska princa, Oréba in Zeéba. Kaj sem bil jaz zmožen storiti v primerjavi z vami?« Potem ko jim je to rekel, se je njihova jeza zoper njega zmanjšala.
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 towards him, when he spoke this word.
4 Gideón je prišel do Jordana ter ga prečkal, on in tristo mož, ki so bili z njim, slabotni, vendar so jih zasledovali.
And Gedeon came to Jordan, and went over, himself and the three hundred with him, hungry, yet pursuing.
5 Možem iz Sukóta je rekel: »Dajte, prosim vas, hlebe kruha ljudstvu, ki mi sledi, kajti oslabeli so in jaz zasledujem midjánska kralja Zebaha in Calmunája.«
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 Princi iz Sukóta so rekli: » Mar so roke Zebaha in Calmunája sedaj v tvoji roki, da bi tvoji vojski dali kruha?«
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 Gideón je rekel: »Torej ko Gospod Zebaha in Calmunája izroči v mojo roko, potem bom vaše meso raztrgal s trnjem iz divjine in z osatom.«
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 Od tam je odšel gor do Penuéla in jim podobno govoril. Ljudje iz Penuéla so mu odgovorili podobno kot ljudje iz Sukóta.
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 Govoril je tudi ljudem iz Penuéla, rekoč: »Ko ponovno pridem v miru, bom porušil ta stolp.«
And Gedeon said to the men of Phanuel, When I return in peace, I will break down this tower.
10 Torej Zebah in Calmunáj sta bila v Karkórju in njune vojske z njima, okoli petnajst tisoč mož, vsi, ki so preostali od vseh vojsk otrok vzhoda, kajti tam je padlo sto dvajset tisoč mož, ki so izdirali meč.
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 Gideón je odšel gor po poti tistih, ki so prebivali v šotorih vzhodno od Nobaha in Jogbóhe in udaril vojsko, kajti vojska je bila brezskrbna.
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 Ko sta Zebah in Calmunáj pobegnila, ju je zasledoval in zajel dva midjánska kralja, Zebaha in Calmunája ter porazil vso vojsko.
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 Joášev sin Gideón se je vrnil iz bitke, preden je vzšlo sonce.
And Gedeon the son of Joas returned from the battle, down from the battle of Ares.
14 Ujel je mladeniča izmed ljudi iz Sukóta in od njega poizvedel in ta mu je opisal prince iz Sukóta in njihove starešine, celó sedeminsedemdeset mož.
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 Prišel je k možem iz Sukóta in rekel: »Glejte Zebaha in Calmunája, s katerima ste me ošteli, rekoč: ›Mar so roke Zebaha in Calmunája sedaj v tvoji roki, da naj bi dali kruha tvojim možem, ki so izmučeni.‹«
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 Zgrabil je mestne starešine in trnje iz divjine in osat ter z njimi učil može iz Sukóta.
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 Podrl je stolp v Penuélu in usmrtil može iz mesta.
And he overthrew the tower of Phanuel, and killed the men of the city.
18 Potem je Zebahu in Calmunáju rekel: »Kakšne vrste možje so bili tisti, ki sta jih usmrtila pri Taboru?« Odgovorila sta: »Takšni so bili, kot si ti. Vsakdo je bil podoben kraljevemu otroku.«
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 Rekel je: » Bili so moji bratje, celó sinovi moje matere. Kakor živi Gospod, če bi jih rešila žive, vaju ne bi ubil.«
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 Svojemu prvorojencu Jeterju je rekel: »Vstani in ju ubij.« Toda mladostnik ni izvlekel svojega meča, kajti bal se je, ker je bil še mladostnik.
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 Potem sta Zebah in Calmunáj rekla: »Vstani ti in padi na naju, kajti kakršen je mož, takšna je njegova moč.« Gideón je vstal in usmrtil Zebaha in Calmunája in odvzel ornamente, ki so bili na vratovih njunih kamel.
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 Potem so možje iz Izraela rekli Gideónu: »Ti vladaj nad nami, oba, ti in tvoj sin in tudi sin tvojega sina, kajti osvobodil si nas iz roke Midjáncev.«
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 Gideón jim je rekel: »Jaz ne bom vladal nad vami niti ne bo moj sin vladal nad vami. Gospod bo vladal nad vami.«
And Gedeon said to them, I will not rule, and my son shall not rule amongst you; the Lord shall rule over you.
24 Gideón jim je rekel: »Od vas bi želel prošnjo, da bi mi dal vsak mož uhane od svojega plena.« (Kajti imeli so zlate uhane, ker so bili Izmaelci.)
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 Odgovorili so: »Voljno jih bomo dali.« Razširili so obleko in nanjo je vsak mož vrgel uhane od svojega plena.
And they said, We will certainly give them: and he opened his garment, and each man cast therein an earring of his spoils.
26 Teža zlatih uhanov, ki jih je zahteval, je bila tisoč sedemsto šeklov zlata, poleg ornamentov in obeskov za ušesa in škrlatnega oblačila, ki je bil na midjánskih kraljih in poleg verižic, ki so bile okoli vratov njihovih kamel.
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 Gideón je iz njih naredil efód in ga dal v svoje mesto, v Ofro. Ves Izrael se je odšel tja vlačugat za njim. Ta stvar je postala zanka Gideónu in njegovi hiši.
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 je bil Midján podjarmljen pred Izraelovimi otroki, tako da niso več vzdignili svojih glav. In dežela je bila v Gideónovih dneh v spokojnosti štirideset let.
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 Joášev sin Jerubáal je odšel in prebival v svoji lastni hiši.
And Jerobaal the son of Joas went and sat in his house.
30 Gideón je imel sedemdeset sinov, rojenih od njegovega telesa, kajti imel je mnogo žena.
And Gedeon had seventy sons begotten of his body, for he had many wives.
31 Njegova priležnica, ki je bila v Sihemu, mu je prav tako rodila sina, čigar ime je imenoval Abiméleh.
And his concubine was in Sychem, and she also bore him a son, and gave him the name Abimelech.
32 Joášev sin Gideón je umrl v dobri visoki starosti in bil pokopan v mavzoleju njegovega očeta Joáša v Ofri Abiézerjevcev.
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 Takoj, ko je bil Gideón mrtev, se je pripetilo, da so se Izraelovi otroci ponovno obrnili in se šli vlačugat za Báali in si naredili Baal-berita za svojega 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 Izraelovi otroci se niso spominjali Gospoda, svojega Boga, ki jih je osvobodil iz rok vseh njihovih sovražnikov na vsaki strani
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 niti niso izkazali prijaznosti Jerubáalovi hiši, namreč Gideónu, glede na vso dobroto, ki jo je izkazal Izraelu.
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.
