Judges 8
1 And the men of Ephraim said to him, Why hast thou treated us thus, that thou calledst us not when thou wentest to fight with the Midianites? and they chid with him sharply.
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.
2 And he said to them, What have I done now in comparison of you? [Is] not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?
A on im reèe: pa šta sam uèinio tako kao vi? nije li pabirèenje Jefremovo bolje nego berba Avijezerova?
3 God hath delivered into your hands the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb: and what was I able to do in comparison of you? Then, when he had said that, their anger towards him abated.
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.
4 And Gideon came to Jordan, [and] passed over, he, and the three hundred men that [were] with him, faint, yet pursuing [them].
A kad Gedeon doðe na Jordan, prijeðe preko njega s trista ljudi koji bjehu s njim, a bjehu umorni goneæi.
5 And he said to the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves of bread to the people that follow me: for they [are] faint, and I am pursuing Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian.
Pa reèe ljudima Sokoæanima: dajte nekoliko hljebova narodu koji ide za mnom, jer su umorni, a ja gonim Zeveja i Salmana careve Madijanske.
6 And the princes of Succoth said, [Are] the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thy hand, that we should give bread to thy army?
A glavari Sokotski rekoše mu: je li pesnica Zevejeva i Salmanova veæ u tvojoj ruci da damo hljeba tvojoj vojsci?
7 And Gideon said, Therefore when the LORD hath delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.
A Gedeon im reèe: kad mi Bog preda Zeveja i Salmana u ruku, tada æu pomlatiti tjelesa vaša trnjem iz ove pustinje i draèom.
8 And he went up thence to Penuel, and spoke to them likewise: and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered [him].
I otide odande u Fanuil, i reèe Fanuiljanima isto onako, a oni mu odgovoriše kao što odgovoriše ljudi u Sokotu.
9 And he spoke also to the men of Penuel, saying, When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower.
Zato i ljudima Fanuiljanima reèe: kad se vratim zdravo, razvaliæu tu kulu.
10 Now Zebah and Zalmunna [were] in Karkor, and their hosts with them, about fifteen thousand [men], all that were left of all the hosts of the children of the east: for there fell a hundred and twenty thousand men that drew sword.
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.
11 And Gideon went up by the way of them that dwelt in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and smote the host: for the host was secure.
I otide Gedeon preko onijeh što žive pod šatorima, s istoka Novi i Jogveji, i udari na vojsku kad vojska stajaše bezbrižna.
12 And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled, he pursued them, and took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and discomfited all the host.
A Zevej i Salman pobjegoše, a on ih potjera, i uhvati dva cara Madijanska, Zeveja i Salmana, i raspudi svu vojsku.
13 And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle before the sun [had risen],
I vrati se Gedeon sin Joasov iz boja prije sunèanoga roðaja.
14 And caught a young man of the men of Succoth, and inquired of him: and he described to him the princes of Succoth, and its elders, [even] seventy seven men.
I uhvati momka iz Sokota, i ispitiva ga; a on mu popisa knezove Sokotske i starješine, sedamdeset i sedam ljudi.
15 And he came to the men of Succoth, and said, Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, with whom ye upbraided me, saying, [Are] the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thy hand, that we should give bread to thy men [that are] weary?
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?
16 And he took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness, and briers, and with them he taught the men of Succoth.
I uzevši starješine onoga mjesta i trnja iz pustinje i draèe dade na njima ugled Sokoæanima.
17 And he beat down the tower of Penuel, and slew the men of the city.
I kulu Fanuilsku razvali i pobi ljude tamošnje.
18 Then said he to Zebah and Zalmunna, What manner of men [were they] whom ye slew at Tabor? And they answered, As thou [art], so [were] they; each one resembled the children of a king.
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.
19 And he said, They [were] my brethren, [even] the sons of my mother: [as] the LORD liveth, if ye had saved them alive, I would not slay you.
A on reèe: to bjehu moja braæa, sinovi moje matere. Tako Gospod bio živ! da ste ih ostavili u životu, ne bih vas pogubio.
20 And he said to Jether his first-born, Arise, [and] slay them. But the youth drew not his sword: for he feared, because he [was] yet a youth.
Tada reèe Jeteru prvencu svojemu: ustani, pogubi ih. Ali dijete ne izvuèe maèa svojega, jer se bojaše, jer bješe još dijete.
21 Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, Rise thou, and fall upon us: for as the man [is], [so is] his strength. And Gideon arose, and slew Zebah and Zalmunna, and took away the ornaments that [were] on their camels' necks.
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.
22 Then the men of Israel said to Gideon, Rule thou over us, both thou, and thy son, and thy son's son also: for thou hast delivered us from the hand of Midian.
Potom rekoše Izrailjci Gedeonu: budi nam gospodar ti i sin tvoj i sin sina tvojega, jer si nas izbavio iz ruke Madijanske.
23 And Gideon said to them, I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you: the LORD shall rule over you.
A Gedeon im reèe: neæu vam ja biti gospodar, niti æe vam sin moj biti gospodar; Gospod æe vam biti Gospodar.
24 And Gideon said to them, I would desire a request of you, that you would give me every man the ear-rings of his prey. (For they had golden ear-rings, because they [were] Ishmaelites.)
Još im reèe Gedeon: jedno æu iskati od vas: da mi date svaki grivnu od plijena svojega. A grivne imahu zlatne, jer bjehu Ismailjci.
25 And they answered, We will willingly give [them]. And they spread a garment, and cast into it every man the ear-rings of his prey.
I odgovoriše: daæemo drage volje. I razastrvši haljinu bacaše na nju grivne, svaki od plijena svojega.
26 And the weight of the golden ear-rings that he requested, was a thousand and seven hundred [shekels] of gold; besides ornaments, and collars, and purple raiment that [was] on the kings of Midian, and besides the chains that [were] about their camels' necks.
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.
27 And Gideon made of it an ephod, and put it in his city, [even] in Ophrah: and all Israel went thither astray after it: which thing became a snare to Gideon, and to his house.
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.
28 Thus was Midian subdued before the children of Israel, so that they raised their heads no more. And the country was in quietness forty years in the days of Gideon.
Tako biše pokoreni Madijani pred sinovima Izrailjevijem, i više ne digoše glave. I zemlja bi mirna èetrdeset godina za vijeka Gedeonova.
29 And Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and dwelt in his own house.
I otišav Jeroval sin Joasov osta u svojoj kuæi.
30 And Gideon had seventy sons of his body begotten: for he had many wives.
A imaše Gedeon sedamdeset sinova, koji izidoše od bedara njegovijeh, jer imaše mnogo žena.
31 And his concubine that [was] in Shechem, she also bore him a son, whose name he called Abimelech.
A inoèa njegova, koja bijaše u Sihemu, i ona mu rodi sina, i nadje mu ime Avimeleh.
32 And Gideon the son of Joash died in a good old age, and was buried in the sepulcher of Joash his father, in Ophrah of the Abi-ezrites.
Potom umrije Gedeon sin Joasov u dobroj starosti, i bi pogreben u grobu Joasa oca svojega Avijezerita u Ofri.
33 And it came to pass as soon as Gideon was dead, that the children of Israel turned again, and went astray after Baalim, and made Baal-berith their god.
A kad umrije Gedeon, opet sinovi Izrailjevi èiniše preljubu za Valima, i postaviše sebi Val-Verita za boga.
34 And the children of Israel remembered not the LORD their God, who had delivered them from the hands of all their enemies on every side:
I ne sjeæaše se sinovi Izrailjevi Gospoda Boga svojega, koji ih je izbavio iz ruku svijeh neprijatelja njihovijeh unaokolo,
35 Neither showed they kindness to the house of Jerubbaal, [namely] Gideon, according to all the goodness which he had shown to Israel.
I ne uèiniše milosti domu Jerovala Gedeona prema svemu dobru što je on uèinio Izrailju.
