< Judges 7 >

1 Early in the morning Jerubbaal (that is, Gideon) and all the men with him camped beside the spring of Harod. And the camp of Midian was north of them in the valley near the hill of Moreh.
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.
2 Then the LORD said to Gideon, “You have too many people for Me to deliver Midian into their hands, lest Israel glorify themselves over Me, saying, ‘My own hand has saved me.’
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.
3 Now, therefore, proclaim in the hearing of the people: ‘Whoever is fearful and trembling may turn back and leave Mount Gilead.’” So twenty-two thousand of them turned back, but ten thousand remained.
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.
4 Then the LORD said to Gideon, “There are still too many people. Take them down to the water, and I will sift them for you there. If I say to you, ‘This one shall go with you,’ he shall go. But if I say, ‘This one shall not go with you,’ he shall not go.”
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.
5 So Gideon brought the people down to the water, and the LORD said to him, “Separate those who lap the water with their tongues like a dog from those who kneel to drink.”
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.
6 And the number of those who lapped the water with their hands to their mouths was three hundred men; all the others knelt to drink.
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.
7 Then the LORD said to Gideon, “With the three hundred men who lapped the water I will save you and deliver the Midianites into your hand. But all the others are to go home.”
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.
8 So Gideon sent the rest of the Israelites to their tents but kept the three hundred men, who took charge of the provisions and rams’ horns of the others. And the camp of Midian lay below him in the valley.
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.
9 That night the LORD said to Gideon, “Get up and go down against the camp, for I have delivered it into your hand.
I onu noæ reèe mu Gospod: ustani, siði u oko, jer ti ga dadoh u ruke.
10 But if you are afraid to do so, then go down to the camp with your servant Purah
Ako li se bojiš sam siæi, siði u oko sa Furom momkom svojim,
11 and listen to what they are saying. Then your hands will be strengthened to attack the camp.” So he went with Purah his servant to the outposts where armed men were guarding the camp.
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.
12 Now the Midianites, Amalekites, and all the other people of the east had settled in the valley like a swarm of locusts, and their camels were as countless as the sand on the seashore.
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.
13 And as Gideon arrived, a man was telling his friend about a dream. “Behold, I had a dream,” he said, “and I saw a loaf of barley bread come tumbling into the Midianite camp. It struck the tent so hard that the tent overturned and collapsed.”
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.
14 His friend replied: “This is nothing less than the sword of Gideon son of Joash, the Israelite. God has delivered Midian and the whole camp into his hand.”
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.
15 When Gideon heard the dream and its interpretation, he bowed in worship. He returned to the camp of Israel and said, “Get up, for the LORD has delivered the camp of Midian into your hand.”
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.
16 And he divided the three hundred men into three companies and gave each man a ram’s horn in one hand and a large jar in the other, containing a torch.
Potom razdijeli trista ljudi u tri èete, i dade svakome po trubu u ruku i po prazan žban i po luè u žban.
17 “Watch me and do as I do,” Gideon said. “When I come to the outskirts of the camp, do exactly as I do.
I reèe im: na mene gledajte, pa tako èinite; gle, je æu doæi na kraj okola, pa šta ja ušèinim, to èinite.
18 When I and all who are with me blow our horns, then you are also to blow your horns from all around the camp and shout, ‘For the LORD and for Gideon!’”
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.
19 Gideon and the hundred men with him reached the outskirts of the camp at the beginning of the middle watch, just after the changing of the guard. They blew their horns and broke the jars that were in their hands.
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.
20 The three companies blew their horns and shattered their jars. Holding the torches in their left hands and the horns in their right hands, they shouted, “A sword for the LORD and for Gideon!”
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.
21 Each Israelite took his position around the camp, and the entire Midianite army fled, crying out as they ran.
I stadoše svaki na svom mjestu oko vojske; a sva se vojska smete i stadoše vikati i bježati.
22 And when the three hundred rams’ horns sounded, the LORD set all the men in the camp against one another with their swords. The army fled to Beth-shittah toward Zererah as far as the border of Abel-meholah near Tabbath.
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.
23 Then the men of Israel were called out from Naphtali, Asher, and all Manasseh, and they pursued the Midianites.
A Izrailjci iz plemena Neftalimova i Asirova i iz svega plemena Manasijina stekoše se i goniše Madijane.
24 Gideon sent messengers throughout the hill country of Ephraim to say, “Come down against the Midianites and seize the waters of the Jordan ahead of them as far as Beth-barah.” So all the men of Ephraim were called out, and they captured the waters of the Jordan as far as Beth-barah.
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.
25 They also captured Oreb and Zeeb, the two princes of Midian; and they killed Oreb at the rock of Oreb and Zeeb at the winepress of Zeeb. So they pursued the Midianites and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the other side of the Jordan.
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.
