Capítulo 8
1
A ljudi od plemena Jefremovog rekoše mu: Šta nam to učini te nas ne pozva kad pođe u boj na Madijane? I vikahu na nj žestoko.
2
A on im reče: Pa šta sam učinio tako kao vi? Nije li pabirčenje Jefremovo bolje nego berba Avijezerova?
3
Vama je u ruke dao Gospod knezove madijanske, Oriva i Ziva; pa šta ja mogoh učiniti tako kao vi? Tada se utiša duh njihov prema njemu kad tako govori.
4
A kad Gedeon dođe na Jordan, pređe preko njega s trista ljudi koji behu s njim, a behu umorni goneći.
5
Pa reče ljudima Sokoćanima: Dajte nekoliko hlebova narodu koji ide za mnom, jer su umorni, a ja gonim Zeveja i Salmana careve madijanske.
6
A glavari sokotski rekoše mu: Je li pesnica Zevejeva i Salmanova već u tvojoj ruci da damo hleba tvojoj vojsci?
7
A Gedeon im reče: Kad mi Bog preda Zeveja i Salmana u ruke, tada ću pomlatiti telesa vaša trnjem iz ove pustinje i dračom.
8
I otide odande u Fanuil, i reče Fanuiljanima isto onako, a oni mu odgovoriše kao što odgovoriše ljudi u Sokotu.
9
Zato i ljudima Fanuiljanima reče: Kad se vratim zdravo, razvaliću tu kulu.
10
A Zevej i Salman behu u Karkoru, i vojska njihova s njima, oko petnaest hiljada, što ih god osta od sve vojske istočne; a pobijenih beše sto i dvadeset hiljada ljudi koji mahahu mačem.
11
I otide Gedeon preko onih što žive pod šatorima, s istoka Novi i Jogveji, i udari na vojsku kad vojska stajaše bezbrižna.
12
A Zevej i Salman pobegoše, a on ih potera, i uhvati dva cara madijanska, Zeveja i Salmana, i raspudi svu vojsku.
13
I vrati se Gedeon sin Joasov iz boja pre sunčanog rođaja.
14
I uhvati momka iz Sokota, i ispitiva ga; a on mu popisa knezove sokotske i starešine, sedamdeset i sedam ljudi.
15
Pa kad dođe k Sokoćanima, reče: Evo Zeveja i Salmana, za koje mi se rugaste govoreći: Je li pesnica Zevejeva i Salmanova već u tvojoj ruci, da damo hleba umornim ljudima tvojim?
16
I uzevši starešine onog mesta i trnja iz pustinje i drače dade na njima ugled Sokoćanima.
17
I kulu fanuilsku razvali i pobi ljude tamošnje.
18
Potom reče Zeveju i Salmanu: Kakvi behu ljudi koje pobiste na Tavoru? A oni rekoše: Takvi kao ti; svaki beše na očima kao carski sin.
19
A on reče: To behu moja braća, sinovi moje matere. Tako Gospod bio živ! Da ste ih ostavili u životu, ne bih vas pogubio.
20
Tada reče Jeteru prvencu svom: Ustani, pogubi ih. Ali dete ne izvuče mač svoj, jer se bojaše, jer beše još dete.
21
Tada reče Zevej i Salman: Ustani ti, uloži na nas; jer kakav je čovek onakva mu je i snaga. I ustavši Gedeon pogubi Zaveja i Salmana, i uze mesečiće koji behu o vratovima kamila njihovih.
22
Potom rekoše Izrailjci Gedeonu: Budi nam gospodar ti i sin tvoj i sin sina tvog, jer si nas izbavio iz ruke madijanske.
23
A Gedeon im reče: Neću vam ja biti gospodar, niti će vam sin moj biti gospodar; Gospod će vam biti Gospodar.
24
Još im reče Gedeon: Jedno ću iskati od vas: da mi date svaki grivnu od plena svog. A grivne imahu zlatne, jer behu Ismailjci.
25
I odgovoriše: Daćemo drage volje. I razastrvši haljinu baciše na nju grivne, svaki od plena svog.
26
I beše na meru zlatnih grivana što iziska hiljadu i sedam stotina sikala zlata, osim mesečića i lančića i haljina skerletnih, što nošahu carevi madijanski, i osim litarova, što behu oko vrata kamila njihovih.
27
I Gedeon načini od toga oplećak, i ostavi ga u svom gradu Ofri; i onde sav Izrailj stade činiti preljubu za njim, i bi Gedeonu i domu njegovom zamka.
28
Tako biše pokoreni Madijani pred sinovima Izrailjevim, i više ne digoše glave. I zemlja bi mirna četrdeset godina za veka Gedeonovog.
29
I otišavši Jeroval sin Joasov osta u svojoj kući.
30
I imaše Gedeon sedamdeset sinova, koji iziđoše od bedara njegovih, jer imaše mnogo žena.
31
I inoča njegova, koja beše u Sihemu, i ona mu rodi sina, i nade mu ime Avimeleh.
32
Potom umre Gedeon sin Joasov u dobroj starosti, i bi pogreben u grobu Joasa oca svog Avijezerita u Ofri.
33
I kad umre Gedeon, opet sinovi Izrailjevi činiše preljubu za Valima, i postaviše sebi Val-Verita za boga.
34
I ne sećaše se sinovi Izrailjevi Gospoda Boga svog, koji ih je izbavio iz ruku svih neprijatelja njihovih unaokolo.
35
I ne učiniše milosti domu Jerovala Gedeona prema svemu dobru što je on učinio Izrailju.
Judges
Capítulo 8
1
And the men of Ephraim said unto him, Why hast thou served us thus, that thou calledst us not, when thou wentest to fight with the Midianites? And they did chide with him sharply.
2
And he said unto them, What have I done now in comparison of you? Is not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abi-ezer?
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 their anger was abated toward him, when he had said that.
4
¶ And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them.
5
And he said unto the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves of bread unto the people that follow me; for they be faint, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian.
6
¶ And the princes of Succoth said, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we should give bread unto thine army?
7
And Gideon said, Therefore when the LORD hath delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into mine hand, then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.
8
¶ And he went up thence to Penuel, and spake unto them likewise: and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered him.
9
And he spake also unto the men of Penuel, saying, When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower.
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 an hundred and twenty thousand men that drew sword.
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.
12
And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled, he pursued after them, and took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and discomfited all the host.
13
¶ And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle before the sun was up,
14
And caught a young man of the men of Succoth, and enquired of him: and he described unto him the princes of Succoth, and the elders thereof, even threescore and seventeen men.
15
And he came unto the men of Succoth, and said, Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, with whom ye did upbraid me, saying, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we should give bread unto thy men that are weary?
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.
17
And he beat down the tower of Penuel, and slew the men of the city.
18
¶ Then said he unto 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.
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.
20
And he said unto Jether his firstborn, Up, and slay them. But the youth drew not his sword: for he feared, because he was yet a youth.
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.
22
¶ Then the men of Israel said unto 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.
23
And Gideon said unto them, I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you: the LORD shall rule over you.
24
¶ And Gideon said unto them, I would desire a request of you, that ye would give me every man the earrings of his prey. (For they had golden earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.)
25
And they answered, We will willingly give them. And they spread a garment, and did cast therein every man the earrings of his prey.
26
And the weight of the golden earrings that he requested was a thousand and seven hundred shekels of gold; beside ornaments, and collars, and purple raiment that was on the kings of Midian, and beside the chains that were about their camels’ necks.
27
And Gideon made an ephod thereof, and put it in his city, even in Ophrah: and all Israel went thither a whoring after it: which thing became a snare unto Gideon, and to his house.
28
¶ Thus was Midian subdued before the children of Israel, so that they lifted up their heads no more. And the country was in quietness forty years in the days of Gideon.
29
¶ And Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and dwelt in his own house.
30
And Gideon had threescore and ten sons of his body begotten: for he had many wives.
31
And his concubine that was in Shechem, she also bare him a son, whose name he called Abimelech.
32
¶ And Gideon the son of Joash died in a good old age, and was buried in the sepulchre of Joash his father, in Ophrah of the Abi-ezrites.
33
And it came to pass, as soon as Gideon was dead, that the children of Israel turned again, and went a whoring after Baalim, and made Baal-berith their god.
34
And the children of Israel remembered not the LORD their God, who had delivered them out of the hands of all their enemies on every side:
35
Neither shewed they kindness to the house of Jerubbaal, namely, Gideon, according to all the goodness which he had shewed unto Israel.
