< Sodniki 7 >

1 Potem je Jerubáal, ki je Gideón in vse ljudstvo, ki je bilo z njim, vstalo zgodaj in se utaborilo poleg vodnjaka Haród, tako da je bila vojska Midjáncev na njihovi severni strani, v dolini pri Moréjevem hribu.
And Jerubba‘al (he [is] Gideon) rises early, and all the people who [are] with him, and they encamp by the well of Harod, and the camp of Midian has been on the south of him, on the height of Moreh, in the valley.
2 Gospod je rekel Gideónu: »Ljudstva, ki je s teboj, je zame preveč, da bi Midjánce izročil v njihove roke, da se ne bi Izrael poveličeval zoper mene, rekoč: ›Moja lastna roka me je rešila.‹«
And YHWH says to Gideon, “The people who [are] with you [are] too many for My giving Midian into their hand, lest Israel beautify itself against Me, saying, My hand has given salvation to me;
3 Zdaj torej pojdi, razglasi v ušesa ljudstva, rekoč: ›Kdorkoli je boječ in se boji, naj se vrne in zgodaj odide z gore Gileád.‹« In tam se jih je izmed ljudstva vrnilo dvaindvajset tisoč, ostalo pa jih je deset tisoč.
and now, please call in the ears of the people, saying, Whoever [is] afraid and trembling, let him turn back and go early from Mount Gilead”; and there return twenty-two thousand of the people, and ten thousand have been left.
4 Gospod je rekel Gideónu: »Ljudstva je še preveč. Privedi jih dol k vodi in tam ti jih bom preizkusil.« Zgodilo se bo, da o komer ti rečem: ›Ta bo šel s teboj, ‹ bo ta isti šel s teboj; in o komer ti rečem: ›Ta ne bo šel s teboj, ‹ ta isti ne bo šel.«
And YHWH says to Gideon, “The people [are] yet too many; bring them down to the water, and I refine him for you there; and it has been, he of whom I say to you, This goes with you—he goes with you; and any of whom I say to you, This does not go with you—he does not go.”
5 Tako je ljudstvo privedel dol k vodi in Gospod je rekel Gideónu: »Kdorkoli s svojim jezikom sreba vodo, kakor sreba pes, tega boš postavil poleg sebe, podobno vsakega, ki poklekne dol na svoja kolena, da bi pil.«
And he brings the people down to the water, and YHWH says to Gideon, “Everyone who laps of the water with his tongue as the dog laps—you set him apart; also everyone who bows on his knees to drink.”
6 Število tistih, ki so srebali s pristavljanjem svoje roke k svojim ustom, je bilo tristo mož, toda vsi drugi izmed ljudstva so se upognili na svoja kolena, da pijejo vodo.
And the number of those lapping with their hand to their mouth is three hundred men, and all the rest of the people have bowed down on their knees to drink water.
7 Gospod je rekel Gideónu: »S tristo možmi, ki so srebali, vas bom rešil in Midjánce izročil v tvojo roko. Vse preostalo ljudstvo pa naj gre vsak mož k svojemu kraju.«
And YHWH says to Gideon, “I save you by the three hundred men who are lapping, and have given Midian into your hand, and all the people go, each to his place.”
8 Tako je ljudstvo v svojo roko vzelo živež in svoje šofarje, ves preostanek Izraela pa je vsakega moža poslal k svojemu šotoru in obdržal tistih tristo mož. Midjánska vojska pa je bila pod njim v dolini.
And the people take the provision in their hand, and their horns, and he has sent every man of Israel away, each to his tents; and he has kept hold on the three hundred men, and the camp of Midian has been by him at the lower part of the valley.
9 Iste noči se je pripetilo, da mu je Gospod rekel: »Vstani, spusti se k vojski, kajti izročil sem jo v tvojo roko.
And it comes to pass, on that night, that YHWH says to him, “Rise, go down into the camp, for I have given it into your hand;
10 Toda če se bojiš iti dol, pojdi dol k vojski s svojim služabnikom Purájem.
and if you are afraid to go down—go down, you and your young man Phurah, to the camp,
11 Slišal boš kaj govorijo. Potem se bodo tvoje roke okrepile, da greš dol k vojski.« Potem je s svojim služabnikom Purájem odšel dol k zunanjim izmed oboroženih mož, ki so bili v vojski.
and you have heard what they speak, and afterward your hands are strengthened, and you have gone down against the camp.” And he goes down, he and his young man Phurah, to the extremity of the fifties who [are] in the camp;
12 Midjánci in Amalečani in vsi otroci vzhoda pa so ležali povprek po dolini, zaradi množice podobni kobilicam in njihovih kamel je bilo zaradi množice brez števila, kakor peska ob morski obali.
and Midian, and Amalek, and all the sons of the east are lying in the valley, as the locust for multitude, and of their camels there is no number, as sand which [is] on the seashore for multitude.
13 Ko je Gideón prišel, glej, je bil tam mož, ki je svojemu tovarišu povedal sanje ter rekel: »Glej, sanjal sem sanje in glej, kolač ječmenovega kruha se je privalil v midjánsko vojsko, prišel k šotoru in ga udaril, da je ta padel in ga prevrnil, da je ležal postrani.«
And Gideon comes in, and behold, a man is recounting a dream to his companion, and says, “Behold, I have dreamed a dream, and behold, a cake of barley-bread is turning itself over into the camp of Midian, and it comes to the tent, and strikes it, and it falls, and turns it upwards, and the tent has fallen.”
14 Njegov tovariš je odgovoril in rekel: »To ni nič drugega kakor meč Gideóna, Joáševega sina, moža iz Izraela, kajti v njegovo roko je Bog izročil Midjánce in vso vojsko.«
And his companion answers and says, “This is nothing except the sword of Gideon son of Joash, a man of Israel; God has given Midian and all the camp into his hand.”
15 Bilo je tako, ko je Gideón slišal pripovedovanje sanj in njeno razlago, da je oboževal, se vrnil v Izraelovo vojsko in rekel: »Vstanite, kajti Gospod je v vašo roko izročil midjánsko vojsko.«
And it comes to pass, when Gideon hears the narration of the dream and its interpretation, that he bows himself, and turns back to the camp of Israel, and says, “Rise, for YHWH has given the camp of Midian into your hand.”
16 Tristo mož je razdelil na tri skupine in v roko vsakega moža položil šofar s praznimi lončenimi vrči in svetilkami znotraj vrčev.
And he divides the three hundred men [into] three detachments, and puts horns into the hand of all of them, and empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers.
17 Rekel jim je: »Glejte mene in storite podobno. In glejte, ko pridem k robu tabora, se bo zgodilo, da kakor storim jaz, boste tako storili tudi vi.
And he says to them, “Look at me, and thus do; and behold, I am coming into the extremity of the camp—and it has been—as I do so you do;
18 Ko zatrobim s šofarjem, jaz in vsi tisti, ki so z menoj, potem tudi vi zatrobite s šofarji na vsaki strani tabora in recite: › Meč od Gospoda in od Gideóna.‹«
and I have blown with a horn—I and all who [are] with me, and you have blown with horns, even you, around all the camp, and have said, For YHWH and for Gideon!”
19 Tako so Gideón in sto mož, ki so bili z njim, prišli k robu tabora na začetku srednje straže in imeli so ravno sveže postavljeno stražo. Zatrobili so na šofarje in razbili lončene vrče, ki so bili v njihovih rokah.
And Gideon comes—and the hundred men who [are] with him—into the extremity of the camp, [at] the beginning of the middle watch (they had just posted watchmen), and they blow with horns—also dashing in pieces the pitchers which [are] in their hand;
20 Tri skupine so trobile na šofarje in razbile lončene vrče in držale svetilke v svojih levicah in šofarje v svojih desnicah, da z njimi trobijo in kričali: »Meč od Gospoda in od Gideóna.«
and the three detachments blow with horns, and break the pitchers, and keep hold with their left hand on the lamps, and with their right hand on the horns to blow, and they cry, “The sword of YHWH and of Gideon!”
21 Stali so vsak mož na svojem mestu okoli tabora in vsa vojska je stekla, kričala in pobegnila.
And they each stand in his place, around the camp, and all the camp runs, and they shout, and flee;
22 Tristo [jih] je trobilo na šofarje in Gospod je torej po vsej vojski naravnal meč vsakega moža zoper svojega tovariša in vojska je pobegnila do Bet Šite v Cerédi in do meje Abél Mehóle, do Tabáta.
and the three hundred blow the horns, and YHWH sets the sword of each against his companion, even through all the camp; and the camp flees to Beth-Shittah, at Zererath, to the border of Abel-Meholah, by Tabbath.
23 Izraelovi možje so se zbrali skupaj iz Neftálija, iz Aserja, iz vsega Manáseja in zasledovali Midjánce.
And the men of Israel are called from Naphtali, and from Asher, and from all Manasseh, and pursue after Midian.
24 Gideón je poslal poslance po vsej gori Efrájim, rekoč: »Pridite dol zoper Midjánce in pred njimi zasedite vode do Bet Bare in Jordana.« Potem so se vsi Efrájimovi možje zbrali skupaj in zasedli vode do Bet Bare in Jordana.
And Gideon has sent messengers into all the hill-country of Ephraim, saying, “Come down to meet Midian, and capture the waters from them as far as Beth-Barah, and the Jordan”; and every man of Ephraim is called, and they capture the waters as far as Beth-Barah, and the Jordan,
25 Zajeli so dva princa izmed Midjáncev, Oréba in Zeéba. Oréba so usmrtili na Orébovi skali, Zeéba pa so usmrtili na Zeébovi vinski stiskalnici in zasledovali Midjánce ter glavi Oréba in Zeéba prinesli Gideónu, na drugo stran Jordana.
and they capture two of the heads of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb, and slay Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and they have slain Zeeb at the wine-vat of Zeeb, and they pursue into Midian; and they have brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon beyond the Jordan.
