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.

¹And Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, arose early, and all the people that were with him, and they encamped beside the spring Harod; and he had the camp of Midian on the north by the hill of Moreh in the valley.

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.

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

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.

³And now proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whoever is timid and afraid, let him go back and turn from mount Gilead. And there went back of the people twenty-two thousand; and there remained ten thousand.

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!'

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

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!'

⁵And he brought down the people to the water; and Jehovah said to 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 on his knees to drink.

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

⁶And the number of them that lapped, with their hand to their mouth, were three hundred men; and all the rest of the people bowed down on their knees to drink water.

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

⁷And Jehovah said to Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and give Midian into thy hand; and let all the people go every man to his place.

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.

⁸And they took the victuals of the people in their hand, and their trumpets; and all the men of Israel he sent away, every man to his tent, but retained the three hundred men. Now the camp of Midian was beneath him in the valley.

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

⁹And it came to pass in that night, that Jehovah said to him, Arise, go down to the camp; for I have given it into thy hand.

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

¹⁰And if thou fear to go down, go thou with Phurah thy servant down to the camp;

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.

¹¹and thou shalt hear what they say; and afterwards shall thy hand be strengthened, and thou shalt go down unto the camp. And he went down with Phurah his servant to the outside of the armed men that were in the camp.

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

¹²And Midian and Amalek and all the children of the east lay along in the valley as locusts for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand upon the sea-shore for multitude.

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.'

¹³And Gideon came, and behold, a man was telling a dream to his fellow; and he said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and lo, a cake of barley-bread tumbled into the camp of Midian, and came to the tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned it; and the tent lay along.

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.'

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

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!'

¹⁵And it came to pass when Gideon heard the telling of the dream and its interpretation, that he worshipped. And he returned into the camp of Israel, and said, Arise; for Jehovah hath given into your hand the camp of Midian.

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

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

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

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

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!'

¹⁸And when I blow with a trumpet, I and all that are with me, ye also shall blow the trumpets around the whole camp, and shall say, For Jehovah and for Gideon!

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.

¹⁹And Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came to 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 broke the pitchers that were in their hands.

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

²⁰And the three companies blew the trumpets, and broke in pieces the pitchers, and held the torches in their left hand, and the trumpets in their right hand for blowing, and cried, The sword of Jehovah and of Gideon!

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

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

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.

²²And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and Jehovah set every man's sword against his fellow, even throughout the camp. And the host fled to Beth-shittah towards Zererah, to the border of Abel-meholah, by Tabbath.

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

²³And the men of Israel were called together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after Midian.

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.

²⁴And Gideon sent messengers throughout mount Ephraim, saying, Come down against Midian, and take before them the waters unto Beth-barah, and the Jordan. And all the men of Ephraim were called together, and took the waters unto Beth-barah, and the 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.

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