¹And the men of Ephraim say unto him, `What [is] this thing thou hast done to us — not to call for us when thou didst go to fight with Midian?` and they strive with him severely;

¹Aga Efraimi mehed küsisid temalt: 'Miks sa tegid meile seda, et ei kutsunud meid, kui läksid sõdima Midjani vastu?' Ja nad riidlesid temaga kangesti.

²and he saith unto them, `What have I done now like you? are not the gleanings of Ephraim better than the harvest of Abi-Ezer?

²Ja tema vastas neile: 'Mida ma siis nüüd teiega võrreldes olen teinud? Eks ole Efraimi järelnoppimine parem kui Abieseri viinamarjalõikus?

³Into your hand hath God given the heads of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb; and what have I been able to do like you?` Then their temper desisted from off him in his speaking this thing.

³Teie kätte andis Jumal Midjani vürstid Oorebi ja Seebi. Aga mida olen mina teiega võrreldes suutnud teha?' Kui ta nõnda rääkis, siis nende pahameel tema vastu andis järele.

⁴And Gideon cometh in unto the Jordan, passing over, he and the three hundred men who [are] with him — wearied, and pursuing,

⁴Ja Gideon tuli Jordani äärde ning läks sellest üle, tema ja need kolmsada tagaajamisest väsinud meest, kes olid koos temaga.

⁵and he saith to the men of Succoth, `Give, I pray you, cakes of bread to the people who [are] at my feet, for they [are] wearied, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna kings of Midian.`

⁵Siis ta ütles Sukkoti meestele: 'Andke ometi leivakakukesi rahvale, kes mu kannul käib, sest nad on väsinud; mina ajan taga Midjani kuningaid Sebahit ja Salmunat.'

⁶And the heads of Succoth say, `Is the hand of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thy hand, that we give to thy host bread?`

⁶Aga Sukkoti vürstid küsisid: 'Kas on Sebahi ja Salmuna rusikas sul juba pihus, et peame su väele leiba andma?'

⁷And Gideon saith, `Therefore — in Jehovah`s giving Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand — I have threshed your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness, and with the threshing instruments.`

⁷Ja Gideon vastas: 'Tõesti, kui Issand annab mu kätte Sebahi ja Salmuna, siis ma peksan teie ihu kõrbekibuvitste ja ohakatega!'

⁸And he goeth up thence [to] Penuel, and speaketh unto them thus; and the men of Penuel answer him as the men of Succoth answered.

⁸Siis ta läks sealt üles Penueli ja rääkis neile sedasama; ja Penueli mehed vastasid temale nõnda, nagu Sukkoti mehed olid vastanud.

⁹And he speaketh also to the men of Penuel, saying, `In my turning back in peace, I break down this tower.`

⁹Ta tõotas siis ka Penueli meestele, öeldes: 'Kui ma rahuga tagasi tulen, siis ma kisun selle torni maha!'

¹⁰And Zebah and Zalmunna [are] in Karkor, and their camps with them, about fifteen thousand, all who are left of all the camp of the sons of the east; and those falling [are] a hundred and twenty thousand men, drawing sword.

¹⁰Aga Sebah ja Salmuna olid Karkoris ja koos nendega nende väed, ligi viisteist tuhat, kõik, kes olid üle jäänud kogu hommikumaalaste väest; aga langenuid oli sada kakskümmend tuhat mõõgameest.

¹¹And Gideon goeth up the way of those who tabernacle in tents, on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and smiteth the camp, and the camp was confident;

¹¹Ja Gideon läks üles mööda telgielanike teed ida pool Nobahit ja Jogbehat ja lõi väge, sest vägi oli muretu.

¹²and Zebab and Zalmunna flee, and he pursueth after them, and captureth the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and all the camp he hath caused to tremble.

¹²Sebah ja Salmuna põgenesid, aga Gideon ajas neid taga ja võttis vangi mõlemad Midjani kuningad, Sebahi ja Salmuna, ja peletas minema kogu leeri.

¹³And Gideon son of Joash turneth back from the battle, at the going up of the sun,

¹³Kui Gideon, Joase poeg, tuli tagasi taplusest Heresi tõusutee juures,

¹⁴and captureth a young man of the men of Succoth, and asketh him, and he describeth unto him the heads of Succoth, and its elders — seventy and seven men.

¹⁴siis ta sai kätte ühe noore mehe Sukkoti meestest ja küsitles teda; ja see kirjutas temale üles Sukkoti vürstid ja vanemad, seitsekümmend seitse meest.

¹⁵And he cometh in unto the men of Succoth, and saith, `Lo Zebah and Zalmunna, with whom ye reproached me, saying, Is the hand of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thy hand that we give to thy men who [are] wearied bread?`

¹⁵Siis ta tuli Sukkoti meeste juurde ja ütles: 'Vaata, siin on Sebah ja Salmuna, kelle pärast te pilkasite mind, öeldes: Kas on Sebah ja Salmuna sul juba käes, et peame su väsinud meestele leiba andma?'

¹⁶And he taketh the elders of the city, and the thorns of the wilderness, and the threshing instruments, and teacheth by them the men of Succoth,

¹⁶Ja ta võttis linna vanemad, ja kõrbekibuvitsu ja ohakaid ja andis neid tunda Sukkoti meestele.

¹⁷and the tower of Penuel he hath broken down, and slayeth the men of the city.

¹⁷Ja ta kiskus maha Penueli torni ning tappis linna mehed.

¹⁸And he saith unto Zebah and unto Zalmunna, `How — the men whom ye slew in Tabor?` and they say, `As thou — so they, one — as the form of the king`s sons.`

¹⁸Ja ta küsis Sebahilt ja Salmunalt: 'Missugused olid need mehed, kelle te Taaboril tapsite?' Ja nad vastasid: 'Need olid niisugused nagu sina. Igaüks välimuselt nagu kuningapoeg.'

¹⁹And he saith, `My brethren — sons of my mother — they; Jehovah liveth, if ye had kept them alive — I had not slain you.`

¹⁹Ja tema ütles: 'Need olid mu vennad, mu ema pojad. Nii tõesti kui Issand elab: kui oleksite jätnud nad elama, ma ei tapaks teid!'

²⁰And he saith to Jether his first-born, `Rise, slay them;` and the young man hath not drawn his sword, for he hath been afraid, for he [is] yet a youth.

²⁰Ja ta ütles Jeterile, oma esmasündinule: 'Võta kätte, tapa nad!' Aga poiss ei tõmmanud oma mõõka, sellepärast et ta kartis, kuna ta oli alles noor.

²¹And Zebah saith — also Zalmunna — `Rise thou, and fall upon us; for as the man — his might;` and Gideon riseth, and slayeth Zebah and Zalmunna, and taketh their round ornaments which [are] on the necks of their camels.

²¹Siis ütlesid Sebah ja Salmuna: 'Võta ise kätte ja tule meile kallale, sest nagu mees, nõnda on ta ramm!' Ja Gideon tõusis ning tappis Sebahi ja Salmuna; ja ta võttis ehted nende kaamelite kaelast.

²²And the men of Israel say unto Gideon, `Rule over us, both thou, and thy son, and thy son`s son, for thou hast saved us from the hand of Midian.`

²²Ja Iisraeli mehed ütlesid Gideonile: 'Valitse meie üle, niihästi sina kui su poeg ja su pojapoeg, sest sa oled meid päästnud Midjani käest!'

²³And Gideon saith unto them, `I do not rule over you, nor doth my son rule over you; Jehovah doth rule over you.`

²³Aga Gideon vastas neile: 'Ei valitse mina teie üle ega valitse mu poeg teie üle - Issand valitseb teie üle!'

²⁴And Gideon saith unto them, `Let me ask of you a petition, and give ye to me each the ring of his prey, for they have rings of gold, for they [are] Ishmaelites.`

²⁴Ja Gideon ütles neile: 'Ühte ma palun teilt: igamees andku mulle oma saagiks saadud ninarõngas!' Neil olid ju olnud kuldninarõngad, sest nad olid ismaeliidid.

²⁵And they say, `We certainly give;` and they spread out the garment, and cast thither each the ring of his prey;

²⁵Nad vastasid: 'Me anname hea meelega!' Ja nad laotasid laiali ühe mantli ning igaüks viskas sinna ninarõnga oma saagist.

²⁶and the weight of the rings of gold which he asked is a thousand and seven hundred [shekels] of gold, apart from the round ornaments, and the drops, and the purple garments, which [are] on the kings of Midian, and apart from the chains which [are] on the necks of their camels,

²⁶Kuldninarõngad, mis Gideon oli palunud, vaagisid tuhat seitsesada kuldseeklit, peale nende kaelaehete ja kõrvarõngaste ja purpurriiete, mida Midjani kuningad olid kandnud, ja peale kettide, mis olid olnud nende kaamelitel kaelas.

²⁷and Gideon maketh it into an ephod, and setteth it up in his city, in Ophrah, and all Israel go a-whoring after it there, and it is to Gideon and to his house for a snare.

²⁷Ja Gideon valmistas neist õlarüü ning asetas selle oma linna Ofrasse, ja kogu Iisrael käis seal hoora viisil selle järel; aga see sai Gideonile ja tema soole püüdepaelaks.

²⁸And Midian is humbled before the sons of Israel, and have not added to lift up their head; and the land resteth forty years in the days of Gideon.

²⁸Nõnda alandati Midjan Iisraeli laste ees ja ta ei tõstnud enam oma pead; ja maal oli Gideoni päevil rahu nelikümmend aastat.

²⁹And Jerubbaal son of Joash goeth and dwelleth in his own house,

²⁹Ja Jerubbaal, Joase poeg, läks ning elas oma kojas.

³⁰and to Gideon there have been seventy sons, coming out of his loin, for he had many wives;

³⁰Gideonil oli seitsekümmend poega, tema niudeist lähtunuid, sest tal oli palju naisi.

³¹and his concubine, who [is] in Shechem, hath born to him — even she — a son, and he appointeth his name Abimelech.

³¹Ja tema Sekemis olev liignaine tõi temale ka poja ilmale, kellele ta pani nimeks Abimelek.

³²And Gideon son of Joash dieth, in a good old age, and is buried in the burying-place of Joash his father, in Ophrah of the Abi-Ezrite.

³²Ja Gideon, Joase poeg, suri küpses vanuses ja ta maeti oma isa Joase hauda abieserlaste Ofrasse.

³³And it cometh to pass, when Gideon [is] dead, that the sons of Israel turn back and go a-whoring after the Baalim, and set over them Baal-Berith for a god;

³³Aga kui Gideon oli surnud, pöördusid Iisraeli lapsed taas ja käisid hoora viisil baalide järel ning seadsid endile jumalaks Baal-Beriti.

³⁴and the sons of Israel have not remembered Jehovah their God, who is delivering them out of the hand of all their enemies round about,

³⁴Ja Iisraeli lapsed ei mõelnud enam Issandale, oma Jumalale, kes oli nad päästnud kõigi nende ümberkaudsete vaenlaste käest.

³⁵neither have they done kindness with the house of Jerubbaal — Gideon — according to all the good which he did with Israel.

³⁵Ja nad ei teinud head Jerubbaali, Gideoni perele, tasuks kõige hea eest, mida tema oli teinud Iisraelile.
