¹Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people that were with him, rose up early, and pitched beside the well of Harod: so that the host of the Midianites were on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley.

¹Ja Jerubbaal, see on Gideon, tõusis vara üles, samuti kogu rahvas, kes oli koos temaga, ja nad lõid leeri üles Harodi allika juurde: midjanlaste leer jäi temast põhja poole, alates Moore mäekünkast tasandikul.

²And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me.

²Ja Issand ütles Gideonile: 'Sinuga on kaasas liiga palju rahvast, et võiksin anda midjanlased nende kätte, et Iisrael ei hakkaks kiitlema minu ees, öeldes: Mu oma käsi päästis minu.

³Now therefore go to, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand.

³Ja nüüd hüüa siis rahva kuuldes ja ütle: Kes kardab ja on arg, see mingu tagasi ja lahkugu Gileadi mäelt!' Ja rahvast läks tagasi kakskümmend kaks tuhat, aga kümme tuhat jäi.

⁴And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go.

⁴Ja Issand ütles Gideonile: 'Rahvast on veelgi palju. Vii nad alla vee juurde, siis ma katsun nad seal läbi sinu jaoks. See, kelle kohta ma sulle ütlen: Tema mingu koos sinuga!, mingu koos sinuga; aga igaüks, kelle kohta ma sulle ütlen: Tema ärgu mingu koos sinuga!, ärgu mingu!'

⁵So he brought down the people unto the water: and the LORD said unto Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink.

⁵Ja Gideon viis rahva alla vee äärde. Ja Issand ütles Gideonile: 'Igaüks, kes lakub keelega vett nagu koer, pane eraldi, samuti igaüks, kes laskub põlvili jooma!'

⁶And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, were three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water.

⁶Ja nende arv, kes lakkusid käest suhu, oli kolmsada meest, aga kõik ülejäänud rahvas oli laskunud põlvili vett jooma.

⁷And the LORD said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the other people go every man unto his place.

⁷Ja Issand ütles Gideonile: 'Nende kolmesaja mehega, kes lakkusid, ma päästan teid ja annan midjanlased su kätte; aga kõik muu rahvas mingu igaüks koju!'

⁸So the people took victuals in their hand, and their trumpets: and he sent all the rest of Israel every man unto his tent, and retained those three hundred men: and the host of Midian was beneath him in the valley.

⁸Ja nad võtsid rahva teemoona ja nende sarvpasunad enestega kaasa, aga kõik muud Iisraeli mehed ta saatis ära, igaühe tema telki; need kolmsada meest ta aga jättis; ja midjanlaste leer oli temast allpool orus.

⁹And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto him, Arise, get thee down unto the host; for I have delivered it into thine hand.

⁹Ja sel ööl sündis, et Issand ütles temale: 'Tõuse, mine alla leeri, sest ma annan selle su kätte!

¹⁰But if thou fear to go down, go thou with Phurah thy servant down to the host:

¹⁰Aga kui sa kardad minna, siis mine alla leeri koos oma teenri Puuraga

¹¹And thou shalt hear what they say; and afterward shall thine hands be strengthened to go down unto the host. Then went he down with Phurah his servant unto the outside of the armed men that were in the host.

¹¹ja kuula, mida nad räägivad; siis kinnitatakse pärast seda su käsi ja sa oled võimeline minema alla leeri!' Ja ta läks koos oma teenri Puuraga alla leeri valvesalkade juurde.

¹²And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like grasshoppers for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand by the sea side for multitude.

¹²Ja midjanlased, amalekid ja kõik hommikumaalased lebasid orus, nõnda palju nagu rohutirtse, ja nende kaameleid oli arvamatu palju, nõnda palju nagu liiva mere ääres.

¹³And when Gideon was come, behold, there was a man that told a dream unto his fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and, lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the host of Midian, and came unto a tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned it, that the tent lay along.

¹³Ja kui Gideon tuli, vaata, siis jutustas üks mees teisele unenägu ja ütles: 'Vaata, ma nägin und ja ennäe, üks odraleivakook veeres midjanlaste leeri, jõudis telgini ja tõukas seda, nõnda et see langes maha ja pööras alumise poole peale; ja telk jäigi lamama.'

¹⁴And his fellow answered and said, This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: for into his hand hath God delivered Midian, and all the host.

¹⁴Ja teine vastas ning ütles: 'See pole midagi muud kui Iisraeli mehe, Joase poja Gideoni mõõk. Jumal on andnud tema kätte midjanlased ja kogu leeri.'

¹⁵And it was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he worshipped, and returned into the host of Israel, and said, Arise; for the LORD hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian.

¹⁵Kui Gideon oli kuulnud unenäo jutustust ja selle seletust, siis ta kummardas ja läks tagasi Iisraeli leeri ning ütles: 'Tõuske, sest Issand on andnud Midjani leeri teie kätte!'

¹⁶And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put a trumpet in every man's hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers.

¹⁶Ja ta jaotas need kolmsada meest kolmeks salgaks, andis neile kõigile kätte sarvpasunad ja tühjad kruusid ning tõrvikud kruuside jaoks.

¹⁷And he said unto them, Look on me, and do likewise: and, behold, when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall ye do.

¹⁷Ja ta ütles neile: 'Vaadake mind ja tehke nõndasamuti! Vaata, kui ma olen jõudnud leeri servani, siis tehke nõnda, nagu mina teen!

¹⁸When I blow with a trumpet, I and all that are with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon.

¹⁸Kui ma puhun sarve, mina ja kõik, kes on koos minuga, siis puhuge ka teie sarvi ümber kogu leeri ja hüüdke: Issanda ja Gideoni eest!'

¹⁹So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers that were in their hands.

¹⁹Ja Gideon ning sada meest, kes olid koos temaga, jõudsid leeri serva keskmise öövahikorra alguses, just siis kui valvurid olid seatud kohtadele. Siis nad puhusid sarvi ja purustasid kruusid, mis neil käes olid.

²⁰And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow withal: and they cried, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon.

²⁰Ja need kolm salka puhusid sarvi, lõid kruusid katki, haarasid vasakusse kätte tõrviku, paremasse kätte sarve puhumiseks ja hüüdsid: 'Issanda ja Gideoni mõõk!'

²¹And they stood every man in his place round about the camp; and all the host ran, and cried, and fled.

²¹Ja igaüks jäi seisma oma kohale ümber leeri. Aga kogu leer jooksis, karjus ja põgenes.

²²And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and the LORD set every man's sword against his fellow, even throughout all the host: and the host fled to Bethshittah in Zererath, and to the border of Abelmeholah, unto Tabbath.

²²Ja nad puhusid kolmesaja sarvega ning Issand pööras ühe mõõga teise vastu, ja seda kogu leeris; ja leer põgenes kuni Beet-Sittani Serera suunas, kuni Aabel-Mehola rannani Tabbati juures.

²³And the men of Israel gathered themselves together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after the Midianites.

²³Ja Iisraeli mehed kutsuti kokku Naftalist, Aaserist ja kogu Manassest, ja nad ajasid midjanlasi taga.

²⁴And Gideon sent messengers throughout all mount Ephraim, saying, come down against the Midianites, and take before them the waters unto Bethbarah and Jordan. Then all the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and took the waters unto Bethbarah and Jordan.

²⁴Ja Gideon läkitas käskjalad kogu Efraimi mäestikku, öeldes: 'Tulge alla midjanlaste vastu ja lõigake neil ära veed kuni Beet-Baarani, samuti Jordan!' Nõnda kutsuti kõik Efraimi mehed kokku ja nad lõikasid ära veed kuni Beet-Baarani, ja Jordani.

²⁵And they took two princes of the Midianites, Oreb and Zeeb; and they slew Oreb upon the rock Oreb, and Zeeb they slew at the winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the other side Jordan.

²⁵Ja nad võtsid vangi kaks Midjani vürsti, Oorebi ja Seebi; nad tapsid Oorebi Oorebi kaljul ja Seebi Seebi surutõrres, ja nad ajasid midjanlasi taga; ja nad tõid Oorebi ja Seebi pead Gideonile teisele poole Jordanit.
