Judges 7
1 Then Jerobaal, who is the same as Gedeon, rising up early and all the people with him, came to the fountain that is called Harad. Now the camp of Madian was in the valley on the north side of the high hill.
Urani Jerubaal, to jest Gideon, i sav narod bijaše s njim i utabori se kod En-Haroda; a tabor Midjanaca nalazio se na sjeveru od njegova, podno brijega More, u dolini.
2 And the Lord said to Gedeon: The people that are with thee are many, and Madian shall not be delivered into their hands: lest Israel should glory against me, and say: I was delivered by my own strength.
Tada Jahve reče Gideonu: “Previše je naroda s tobom a da bih predao Midjance u njegove ruke. Izrael bi se mogao pohvaliti i reći: 'Vlastita me ruka izbavila.'
3 Speak to the people, and proclaim in the hearing of all, I Whosoever is fearful and timorous, let him return. So two and twenty thousand men went away from mount Galaad and returned home, and only ten thousand remained.
Zato oglasi da narod čuje: 'Tko se boji i strahuje, neka se vrati.'” Gideon ih iskuša. Dvadeset i dvije tisuće ljudi iz naroda vrati se, a ostade ih deset tisuća.
4 And the Lord said to Gedeon: The people are still too many, bring them to the waters, and there I will try them: and of whom I shall say to thee, This shall go with thee, let him go: whom I shall forbid to go, let him return.
Jahve reče Gideonu: “Još je previše naroda. Povedi ih na vodu i ondje ću ih iskušati. Za koga ti kažem: 'Neka ide s tobom', taj će s tobom ići. A za koga ti kažem: 'Neka ne ide s tobom', taj neće ići.”
5 And when the people were come down to the waters, the Lord said to Gedeon: They that shall lap the water with their tongues, as dogs are wont to lap, thou shalt set apart by themselves: but they that shall drink bowing down their knees, shall be on the other side.
Gideon povede narod na vodu i Jahve mu reče: “Koji bude laptao vodu jezikom kao što lapće pas, stavi ga na stranu. Koji klekne da pije, odvoji ga na drugu stranu.”
6 And the number of them that had lapped water, casting it with the hand to their mouth, was three hundred men: and all the rest of the multitude had drunk kneeling.
Onih koji su laptali vodu jezikom - prinoseći vodu rukom k ustima - bijaše tri stotine, a sav je ostali narod kleknuo da pije.
7 And the Lord said to Gedeon: By the three hundred men, that lapped water, I will save you, and deliver Madian into thy hand: but let all the rest of the people return to their place.
Tad Jahve reče Gideonu: “Sa one tri stotine ljudi koji su laptali vodu ja ću vas izbaviti i predat ću Midjance u vaše ruke. Svi drugi neka se vrate svaki svojoj kući.”
8 So taking victuals and trumpets according to their number, he ordered all the rest of the multitude to depart to their tents: and he with the three hundred gave himself to the battle. Now the camp of Madian was beneath him in the valley.
Gideon tad naloži narodu da mu preda opskrbu i rogove, a onda otpusti Izraelce da ide svaki svome šatoru; zadrža samo one tri stotine. A midjanski se tabor prostirao niže njega u dolini.
9 The same night the Lord said to him: Arise, and go down into the camp: because I have delivered them into thy hand.
One noći reče mu Jahve: “Ustani, navali na tabor, jer ti ga predajem u ruke.
10 But if thou be afraid to go alone, let Phara thy servant go down with thee.
Ako se bojiš napasti, siđi najprije u tabor s Purom, momkom svojim;
11 And when thou shalt hear what they are saying, then shall thy hands be strengthened, and thou shalt go down more secure to the enemies’ camp. And he went down with Phara his servant into part of the camp, where was the watch of men in arms.
slušaj što govore; ohrabrit ćeš se i napast ćeš na tabor.” On siđe sa svojim momkom Purom do prvih taborskih straža.
12 But Madian and Amalec, and all the eastern people lay scattered in the valley, as a multitude of locusts: their camels also were innumerable as the sand that lieth on the sea shore.
Midjanci, Amalečani i svi sinovi Istoka pali po dolini, brojni kao skakavci; njihovim devama ne bijaše broja, kao pijesku na obali mora.
13 And when Gedeon was come, one told his neighbour a dream: and in this manner related what he had seen: I dreamt a dream, and it seemed to me as if a hearth cake of barley bread rolled and came down into the camp of Madian: and when it was come to a tent it struck it, and beat it down flat to the ground.
Kad je Gideon došao, a to jedan baš pripovijedaše svome drugu što je sanjao: “Usnuo sam kako se pogača ječmenog kruha kotrlja u midjanski tabor: dokotrlja se do jednog šatora i pogodi, a šator pade, prevrnu se.”
14 He to whom he spoke, answered: This is nothing else but the sword of Gedeon the son of Joas a man of Israel. For the Lord hath delivered Madian, and all their camp into his hand.
A drug mu odgovori: “Nije to drugo nego mač Gideona, Joaševa sina, Izraelca. Bog mu je predao u ruke Midjance i sav tabor.”
15 And when Gedeon had heard the dream, and the interpretation thereof, he adored: and returned to the camp of Israel, and said: Arise, for the Lord hath delivered the camp of Madian into our hands.
Kada je Gideon čuo kako je onaj pripovjedio san i kako ga je drugi protumačio, baci se ničice, vrati se onda u tabor Izraelov i povika: “Ustajte, jer vam je Jahve predao u ruke tabor midjanski!”
16 And he divided the three hundred men into three parts, and gave them trumpets in their hands, and empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers.
Gideon tad podijeli svoje tri stotine ljudi u tri čete. Svakome čovjeku dade u ruke rog, prazan vrč i luč u vrču:
17 And he said to them: What you shall see me do, do you the same: I will go into one part of the camp, and do you as I shall do.
“Gledajte mene”, reče im, “i činite što i ja! Kada dođem na rub tabora, činite što budem i ja činio!
18 When the trumpet shall sound in my hand, do you also blow the trumpets on every side of the camp.
Kad zatrubim u rog ja i svi koji su sa mnom, tada i vi zasvirajte u rog oko sveg tabora i vičite: 'Za Jahvu i Gideona!'”
19 And Gedeon, and the three hundred men that were with him, went into part of the camp, at the beginning of the midnight watch, and the watchmen being alarmed, they began to sound their trumpets, and to clap the pitchers one against another.
Gideon i stotina ljudi što ga je pratila dođoše na rub tabora pri početku ponoćne straže; tek što su postavili straže, oni zatrubiše u rogove i razbiše vrčeve koje su imali u ruci.
20 And when they sounded their trumpets in three places round about the camp, and had broken their pitchers, they held their lamps in their left hands, and with their right hands the trumpets which they blew, and they cried out: The sword of the Lord and of Gedeon;
Tako tri čete zasviraše u rogove i razbiše vrčeve; lijevom rukom držahu luči, a desnom rogove da trube i udariše vikati: “Za Jahvu i Gideona!”
21 Standing every man in his place round about the enemies’ camp. So all the camp was troubled, and crying out and howling they fled away.
I svaki stajaše nepomično na svome mjestu uokrug tabora. Tada se probudi sav tabor i Midjanci vičući nagoše u bijeg.
22 And the three hundred men nevertheless persisted sounding the trumpets. And the Lord sent the sword into all the camp, and they killed one another,
Dok su one tri stotine trubile u rogove, učini Jahve te oni u taboru okrenuše mač jedan na drugoga. I sva se vojska razbježa do Bet-Hašita, prema Sartanu, do Abel-Meholske obale kod Tabata.
23 Fleeing as far as Bethsetta, and the border of Abelmahula in Tebbath. But the men of Israel shouting from Nephtali and Aser, and from all Manasses pursued after Madian.
A Izraelci iz plemena Naftalijeva, Ašerova i iz svega plemena Manašeova sabraše se i pognaše Midjance.
24 And Gedeon sent messengers into all mount Ephraim, saying: Come down to meet Madian, and take the waters before them to Bethbera and the Jordan. And all Ephraim shouted, and took the waters before them and the Jordan as far as Bethbera.
Gideon posla glasnike po svoj Efrajimovoj gori da govore: “Siđite pred Midjance i zauzmite prije njih sve gazove do Bet-Bara i Jordana.” Svi se ljudi od plemena Efrajimova odazvaše i zauzeše gazove voda do Bet-Bara i Jordana.
25 And having taken two men of Madian, Oreb and Zeb: Oreb they slew in the rock of Oreb, and Zeb in the winepress of Zeb. And they pursued Madian, carrying the heads of Oreb and Zeb to Gedeon beyond the waters of the Jordan.
I uhvatiše dva midjanska kneza, Oreba i Zeeba; Oreba ubiše na Orebovoj stijeni, a Zeeba kod Zeebova tijeska. Progonili su Midjance i donijeli Gideonu preko Jordana glavu Orebovu i Zeebovu.
