Judges 7
1 Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people who were with him, rose up early and encamped beside the spring of Harod. Midian’s camp was on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley.
Tad JerubBaāls, tas ir Gideons, un visi ļaudis, kas pie viņa, agri cēlās un apmetās pie Aroda avota, tā ka Midijaniešu karaspēks viņam bija pret ziemeļa pusi, aiz Mores pakalna, ielejā.
2 The LORD said to Gideon, “The people who are with you are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel brag against me, saying, ‘My own hand has saved me.’
Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz Gideonu: Pārāk daudz ļaužu ir pie tevis, nekā Es dotu Midijaniešus viņu rokā; lai Israēls pret Mani nelielās un nesaka: mana roka mani izpestījusi.
3 Now therefore proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, ‘Whoever is fearful and trembling, let him return and depart from Mount Gilead.’” So twenty-two thousand of the people returned, and ten thousand remained.
Tad izsauc jel to ļaužu ausīs un saki: kas šaubīgs un bailīgs, lai griežas atpakaļ un steidzās projām no Gileāda kalna. Tad no tiem ļaudīm griezās atpakaļ divdesmit divi tūkstoši, un tik desmit tūkstoši atlika.
4 The LORD said to Gideon, “There are still too many people. Bring them down to the water, and I will test them for you there. It shall be, that those whom I tell you, ‘This shall go with you,’ shall go with you; and whoever I tell you, ‘This shall not go with you,’ shall not go.”
Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz Gideonu: ļaužu vēl ir par daudz; noved tos pie ūdens, tur Es tos tev pārbaudīšu, un par kuru Es uz tevi sacīšu: šim būs iet ar tevi, tas lai iet ar tevi, bet par kuru Es tev sacīšu, tam nebūs iet ar tevi, tas lai neiet.
5 So he brought down the people to the water; and the LORD said to Gideon, “Everyone who laps of the water with his tongue, like a dog laps, you shall set him by himself; likewise everyone who bows down on his knees to drink.”
Un viņš tos ļaudis noveda pie ūdens. Tad Tas Kungs sacīja uz Gideonu: ikkatru, kas ar savu mēli ūdeni laks, kā suns lok, to nostādi par sevi, un tāpat ikkatru, kas nometīsies ceļos dzert.
6 The number of those who lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was three hundred men; but all the rest of the people bowed down on their knees to drink water.
Un to pulks, kas no savas rokas pie mutes bija lakuši, bija trīssimt vīri, bet visi citi ļaudis bija ūdeni dzēruši ceļos nometušies.
7 The LORD said to Gideon, “I will save you by the three hundred men who lapped, and deliver the Midianites into your hand. Let all the other people go, each to his own place.”
Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz Gideonu: caur šiem trīs simti vīriem, kas lakuši, Es jūs izpestīšu un nodošu Midijaniešus tavā rokā; tāpēc atlaid visus citus ļaudis, ikvienu uz savu vietu.
8 So the people took food in their hand, and their trumpets; and he sent all the rest of the men of Israel to their own tents, but retained the three hundred men; and the camp of Midian was beneath him in the valley.
Un tie ļaudis ņēma savu maizi savā rokā un savas trumetes, bet visus citus Israēla vīrus viņš atlaida, ikvienu uz savu dzīvokli, un tos trīs simti vīrus viņš paturēja, un Midijaniešu karaspēks viņam bija ielejas pusē.
9 That same night, the LORD said to him, “Arise, go down into the camp, for I have delivered it into your hand.
Un notika tanī naktī, ka Tas Kungs uz viņu sacīja: celies, noej uz lēģeri, jo Es to esmu devis tavā rokā.
10 But if you are afraid to go down, go with Purah your servant down to the camp.
Bet ja tev ir bail noiet, tad noej uz to lēģeri tu un Purus, tavs puisis,
11 You will hear what they say; and afterward your hands will be strengthened to go down into the camp.” Then went he down with Purah his servant to the outermost part of the armed men who were in the camp.
Tad tu dzirdēsi, ko tie runā, un pēc tam tavas rokas stiprināsies, un tu celsies pret to lēģeri. Tad viņš nogāja ar Puru, savu puisi, pie tiem pirmiem apbruņotiem, kas bija lēģerī.
12 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 on the seashore for multitude.
Un Midijanieši un Amalekieši un visi tie austruma bērni gulēja ielejā kā siseņu pulks, un viņu kamieļu pulku nevarēja skaitīt, kā smiltis jūrmalā.
13 When Gideon had come, behold, there was a man telling a dream to his fellow. He said, “Behold, I dreamed a dream; and behold, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian, came to the tent, and struck it so that it fell, and turned it upside down, so that the tent lay flat.”
Kad nu Gideons nonāca, redzi, tur viens savam biedram stāstīja sapni un sacīja: redzi, es esmu sapni redzējis, un redzi, cepta miežu maize vēlās Midijaniešu lēģerī un atnāca līdz pat teltij un to sita, ka tā krita, un to pavisam apgāza, un telts gulēja (pie zemes).
14 His fellow answered, “This is nothing other than the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel. God has delivered Midian into his hand, with all the army.”
Tad viņa biedrs atbildēja un sacīja: tas nav nekas cits, kā Gideona, Joasa dēla, tā Israēlieša, zobens; Dievs Midijaniešus un visu šo lēģeri devis viņa rokā.
15 It was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream and its interpretation, that he worshiped. Then he returned into the camp of Israel and said, “Arise, for the LORD has delivered the army of Midian into your hand!”
Un kad Gideons dzirdēja šā sapņa stāstīšanu un izskaidrošanu, tad viņš pielūdza Dievu, griezās atpakaļ uz Israēla lēģeri un sacīja: ceļaties, jo Tas Kungs Midijaniešu karaspēku devis jūsu rokās.
16 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.
Un viņš dalīja tos trīs simtI vīrus trijos pulkos, un deva visiem trumetes un tukšas krūzes rokā un lāpas krūzēs.
17 He said to them, “Watch me, and do likewise. Behold, when I come to the outermost part of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so you shall do.
Un viņš uz tiem sacīja: skatāties uz mani un tā dariet; un redzi, kad es nākšu pie lēģera malas, tad dariet jūs tā, kā es daru.
18 When I blow the trumpet, I and all who are with me, then blow the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and shout, ‘For the LORD and for Gideon!’”
Kad es trumetēšu, es un visi, kas pie manis, tad jums arīdzan būs trumetēt ap visu lēģeri un saukt: Tā Kunga un Gideona (zobens)!
19 So Gideon and the hundred men who were with him came to the outermost part of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch, when they had but newly set the watch. Then they blew the trumpets and broke in pieces the pitchers that were in their hands.
Tad Gideons un tie simts vīri ar viņu nāca pie lēģera malas ap nakts vidu, kad nule sargi bija mainīti, un tie pūta trumetēs un sadauzīja tās krūzes savās rokās.
20 The three companies blew the trumpets, broke the pitchers, and held the torches in their left hands and the trumpets in their right hands with which to blow; and they shouted, “The sword of the LORD and of Gideon!”
Tā tie trīs pulki pūta trumetēs un sadauzīja tās krūzes un turēja ar kreiso roku tās lāpas un savā labajā rokā tās trumetes un pūta un kliedza: Tā Kunga un Gideona zobens.
21 They each stood in his place around the camp, and all the army ran; and they shouted, and put them to flight.
Un tie stāvēja ikviens savā vietā ap to lēģeri. Tad viss karaspēks sāka skriet un tie brēca un bēga.
22 They blew the three hundred trumpets, and the LORD set every man’s sword against his fellow and against all the army; and the army fled as far as Beth Shittah toward Zererah, as far as the border of Abel Meholah, by Tabbath.
Jo kad tie trīs simti vīri trumetēs pūta, tad Tas Kungs grieza viena zobenu pret otru visā lēģerī, un tas karaspēks bēga līdz BetZitai uz Careratas pusi, līdz AbelMeolas robežai pie Tābatas.
23 The men of Israel were gathered together out of Naphtali, out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued Midian.
Tad Israēla vīri tapa sasaukti no Naftalus un no Ašera un no visa Manasus, un tie dzinās pakaļ Midijanam.
24 Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill country of Ephraim, saying, “Come down against Midian and take the waters before them as far as Beth Barah, even the Jordan!” So all the men of Ephraim were gathered together and took the waters as far as Beth Barah, even the Jordan.
Un Gideons sūtīja vēstnešus uz visiem Efraīma kalniem un sacīja: nonāciet pretī Midijaniešiem un aizstājiet tiem to ūdeni līdz Betbarai un Jardāni. Tā visi Efraīma vīri tika sasaukti un aizstāja to ūdeni līdz Betbarai un Jardāni.
25 They took the two princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb. They killed Oreb at Oreb’s rock, and Zeeb they killed at Zeeb’s wine press, as they pursued Midian. Then they brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon beyond the Jordan.
Un tie gūstīja divus Midijaniešu valdniekus, Orebu un Zeēbu, un nokāva Orebu pie Oreb akmens, un Zeēbu tie nokāva pie Zeēba spaida un dzinās pakaļ Midijanam un nonesa Oreba un Zeēba galvas pie Gideona viņpus Jardānes.
