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.

Then the men of Ephraim sayde vnto him, Why hast thou serued vs thus that thou calledst vs not, when thou wentest to fight with the Midianites? 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?

To whom he said, What haue I now done in comparison of you? is not the gleaning of grapes of Ephraim better, then 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.

God hath deliuered into your handes the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb: and what was I able to do in comparison of you? and when he had thus spoken, then their spirits abated toward him.

4 Gideón je prišel do Jordana ter ga prečkal, on in tristo mož, ki so bili z njim, slabotni, vendar so jih zasledovali.

And Gideon came to Iorden to passe ouer, hee, and the three hundreth men that were with him, weary, yet pursuing them.

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 vnto the men of Succoth, Giue, I pray you, morsels of bread vnto the people that follow me (for they be wearie) that I may follow after Zebah, and Zalmunna Kings of Midian.

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 Succoth sayde, Are the handes of Zebah and Zalmunna nowe in thine hads, that we should giue bread vnto thine army?

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.«

Gideon then sayde, Therefore when the Lord hath deliuered Zebah and Zalmunna into mine hand, I will teare your flesh with thornes of the wildernes and with breers.

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 vp thence to Penuel, and spake vnto them likewise, and the men of Penuel answered him, as the men of Succoth answered.

9 Govoril je tudi ljudem iz Penuéla, rekoč: »Ko ponovno pridem v miru, bom porušil ta stolp.«

And he sayd also vnto the men of Penuel, When I come againe in peace, I will breake downe this towre.

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.

Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and their hostes with them, about fifteene thousande, all that were left of all the hostes of them of the East: for there was slaine an hundreth and twentie thousand men, that drew swordes.

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 Gideon went through them that dwelt in Tabernacles on the East side of Nobah and Iogbehah, and smote the hoste: for the hoste was carelesse.

12 Ko sta Zebah in Calmunáj pobegnila, ju je zasledoval in zajel dva midjánska kralja, Zebaha in Calmunája ter porazil vso vojsko.

And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled, hee followed after them, and tooke the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and discomfited all the hoste.

13 Joášev sin Gideón se je vrnil iz bitke, preden je vzšlo sonce.

So Gideon the sonne of Ioash returned from battel, the sunne being yet hie,

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 tooke a seruant of the me of Succoth, and inquired of him: and he wrote to him the princes of Succoth and the Elders thereof, euen seuentie and seuen 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 he came vnto the men of Succoth, and sayd, Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, by whome ye vpbrayded me, saying, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in thine hands, that we should giue bread vnto thy weary men?

16 Zgrabil je mestne starešine in trnje iz divjine in osat ter z njimi učil može iz Sukóta.

Then he tooke the Elders of the citie, and thornes of the wildernes and breers, and did teare the men of Succoth with them.

17 Podrl je stolp v Penuélu in usmrtil može iz mesta.

Also he brake downe the towre of Penuel, and slew the men of the citie.

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.«

Then saide he vnto Zebah and Zalmunna, What maner of men were they, whom ye slew at Tabor? and they answered, As thou art, so were they: euery one was like the children 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 he said, They were my brethren, euen my mothers children: as the Lord liueth, if ye had saued their liues, I would not slay 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.

Then he sayde vnto Iether his first borne sonne, Vp, and slay them: but the boy drew not his sword: for he feared, because he was yet yong.

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.

Then Zebah and Zalmunna sayd, Rise thou, and fall vpon vs: for as the man is, so is his strength. And Gideon arose and slew Zebah and Zalmunna, and tooke away the ornamentes, that were on their camels neckes.

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.«

Then the men of Israel sayd vnto Gideon, Reigne thou ouer vs, both thou, and thy sonne, and thy sonnes sonne: for thou hast deliuered vs out of the hand of Midian.

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 Gideon sayde vnto them, I will not reigne ouer you, neither shall my childe reigne ouer you, but the Lord shall reigne ouer 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.)

Againe Gideon sayd vnto them, I would desire a request of you, that you would giue mee euery man the earings of his pray (for they had golden earings because 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 answered, Wee will giue them. And they spred a garment, and did cast therein euery man the earings of his pray.

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 earings that he required, was a thousande and seuen hundreth shekels of golde, beside collers and iewels, and purple rayment that was on the kings of Midian, and beside the cheynes that were about their camels neckes.

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 Gideon made an Ephod thereof, and put it in Ophrah his citie: and all Israel went a whoring there after it, which was the destruction of Gideon 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.

Thus was Midian brought lowe before the children of Israel, so that they lift vp their heads no more: and the countrey was in quietnes fourtie yeeres in the dayes of Gideon.

29 Joášev sin Jerubáal je odšel in prebival v svoji lastni hiši.

Then Ierubbaal the sonne of Ioash went, and dwelt in his owne house.

30 Gideón je imel sedemdeset sinov, rojenih od njegovega telesa, kajti imel je mnogo žena.

And Gideon had seuentie sonnes begotten of his body: for he had many wiues.

31 Njegova priležnica, ki je bila v Sihemu, mu je prav tako rodila sina, čigar ime je imenoval Abiméleh.

And his concubine that was in Shechem, bare him a sonne also, whose name he called Abimelech.

32 Joášev sin Gideón je umrl v dobri visoki starosti in bil pokopan v mavzoleju njegovega očeta Joáša v Ofri Abiézerjevcev.

So Gideon the sonne of Ioash dyed in a good age, and was buried in the sepulchre of Ioash his father in Ophrah, of the father of ye Ezrites.

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.

But when Gideon was dead, the children of Israel turned away and went a whoring after Baalim, and made Baal-berith 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 remembred not the Lord their God, which had deliuered the out of the hands of all their enemies on euery side.

35 niti niso izkazali prijaznosti Jerubáalovi hiši, namreč Gideónu, glede na vso dobroto, ki jo je izkazal Izraelu.

Neither shewed they mercy on the house of Ierubbaal, or Gideon, according to al the goodnesse which he had shewed vnto Israel.
