Sog̒u 7
1 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.
Jerub-baal (Gideon) and those who were with him got up early and went and camped by the Harod spring. The Midianite camp was to the north in the valley near the Moreh hill.
2 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.
The Lord told Gideon, “There are too many soldiers with you for me to hand over the Midianites to them, otherwise Israel will brag to me, saying, ‘I saved myself by my own strength.’
3 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.
So tell the soldiers, ‘Anyone who is worried or afraid can leave Mount Gilead and go back home.’” Twenty-two thousand of them went back home, but ten thousand stayed.
4 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.
Then the Lord told Gideon, “There are still too many soldiers. Take them down to the water and I will reduce them for you. Whoever I tell you, ‘He shall go with you,’ he shall go. But anyone that I say, ‘He shall not go with you,’ he shall not go.”
5 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.
Gideon took the soldiers down to the water. The Lord told Gideon, “Set to one side those who lap the water with their tongues, like a dog does, and on the other side those who kneel down to drink.”
6 Un to pulks, kas no savas rokas pie mutes bija lakuši, bija trīssimt vīri, bet visi citi ļaudis bija ūdeni dzēruši ceļos nometušies.
Three hundred lapped water from their hands to their mouths. All the rest knelt down to drink the water.
7 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.
The Lord told Gideon, “With these three hundred men that lapped I will save you and hand over the Midianites to you. Let all the rest of the soldiers go home.”
8 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.
The three hundred took over the supplies and trumpets of the others. Gideon sent all the rest home, but held onto the three hundred men. The Midianite camp was below him in the valley.
9 Un notika tanī naktī, ka Tas Kungs uz viņu sacīja: celies, noej uz lēģeri, jo Es to esmu devis tavā rokā.
That night the Lord spoke to Gideon, “Get up, go down and attack the camp, for I have handed it over to you.
10 Bet ja tev ir bail noiet, tad noej uz to lēģeri tu un Purus, tavs puisis,
But if you are afraid to go down, go with your servant Purah to the camp.
11 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.
You'll hear what they're talking about and then you'll have the courage to attack the camp.” So he took his servant Purah with him and went to the edge of the camp where armed men were on guard.
12 Un Midijanieši un Amalekieši un visi tie austruma bērni gulēja ielejā kā siseņu pulks, un viņu kamieļu pulku nevarēja skaitīt, kā smiltis jūrmalā.
The Midianites, Amalekites, and all the peoples of the East filled the valley like a swarm of locusts, and as for their camels, they were as uncountable as the sand on the seashore.
13 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).
Just as Gideon arrived, a man was telling his friend about a dream he'd had. He was saying, “I had this dream. I dreamed I saw a round loaf of barley bread come rolling into the Midianite camp. It hit a tent, knocking it upside-down, flat on the ground!”
14 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.
“This can only represent the victory by the sword of Gideon, son of Joash, a man of Israel,” his friend answered. “God has handed over to him the Midianites and everyone else camped here.”
15 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.
When Gideon heard the dream and what it meant, he bowed in thanks to God. He went back to the Israelite camp and announced, “On your feet! For the Lord has handed over the Midianite camp to you!”
16 Un viņš dalīja tos trīs simtI vīrus trijos pulkos, un deva visiem trumetes un tukšas krūzes rokā un lāpas krūzēs.
He divided the three hundred men into three companies. He handed them all trumpets, and empty jars with torches inside them.
17 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.
“Watch me and follow my example,” he told them. “So when I get to the edge of the camp, do exactly what I do.
18 Kad es trumetēšu, es un visi, kas pie manis, tad jums arīdzan būs trumetēt ap visu lēģeri un saukt: Tā Kunga un Gideona (zobens)!
Immediately I and those with me blow the trumpets, then you blow your trumpets from all around the camp, and shout, ‘For the Lord and for Gideon!’”
19 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.
Gideon and the hundred men who with him arrived at the edge of the camp around midnight, after the guards were changed. They blew their trumpets and smashed the jars they were holding.
20 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.
All three companies blew their trumpets and smashed their jars. They held the torches in their left hands and the trumpets in their right hands, and they shouted, “A sword for the Lord and for Gideon!”
21 Un tie stāvēja ikviens savā vietā ap to lēģeri. Tad viss karaspēks sāka skriet un tie brēca un bēga.
Each man stood in his place encircling the camp, and all the enemy soldiers ran around shouting—then they fled.
22 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.
When they blew the three hundred trumpets, the Lord made all the men in the camp attack one other with their swords. The enemy army fled to Beth-shittah near Zererah, all the way to the border of Abel Meholah near Tabbath.
23 Tad Israēla vīri tapa sasaukti no Naftalus un no Ašera un no visa Manasus, un tie dzinās pakaļ Midijanam.
The Israelite soldiers were summoned from Naphtali, Asher, and all of Manasseh, and they chased after the Midianites.
24 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.
Gideon sent messengers through all the hill country of Ephraim saying, “Come and attack the Midianites, and take control of the Jordan fords ahead of them as far as Beth-barah.” So all the men of Ephraim were summoned, and they took control of the Jordan fords as far as Beth-barah.
25 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.
They also captured Oreb and Zeeb, two of the Midianite commanders. They killed Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and Zeeb at the winepress of Zeeb. They continued chasing down the Midianites and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb back to Gideon who was on the other side of the Jordan.
