¹A mužovia Efraimovi mu riekli: Jaká je to vec, ktorú si nám to vykonal, že si nás nepovolal, keď si išiel bojovať proti Madianovi? A prudko sa s ním dohadovali.

¹And the men of Ephraim said unto him, Why hast thou served us thus, that thou calledst us not, when thou wentest to fight with Midian? And they did chide with him sharply.

²A on im povedal: A čože som ja teraz vykonal také jako vy? Či nie sú lepšie paberky Efraimove ako oberačka Abiezerova?

²And he said unto them, What have I now done in comparison with you? Is not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?

³Veď do vašej ruky dal Bôh kniežatá Madianove, Oréba a Zeéba, nuž čože také som ja mohol vykonať ako vy? Vtedy upustil ich duch od neho, keď im to hovoril.

³God hath delivered into your hand the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb: and what was I able to do in comparison with you? Then their anger was abated toward him, when he had said that.

⁴A Gedeon prišiel k Jordánu a prešiel cezeň on i tých tristo mužov, ktorí boli s ním, ustatí prenasledujúc nepriateľa.

⁴And Gideon came to the Jordan, [and] passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing.

⁵Preto povedal mužom mesta Sukkóta: Dajte, prosím, ľudu, ktorý ide za mnou, niekoľko pecňov chleba, lebo sú ustatí, a ja honím Zebacha a Calmunnu, madianských kráľov.

⁵And he said unto the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves of bread unto the people that follow me; for they are faint, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian.

⁶A kniežatá Sukkóta povedali: Či je azda päsť Zebachova a Calmunnova už v tvojej ruke, aby sme dali tvojmu vojsku chleba?

⁶And the princes of Succoth said, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thy hand, that we should give bread unto thine army?

⁷Na to riekol Gedeon: Preto, keď dá Hospodin Zebacha a Calmunnu do mojej ruky, zmlátim vaše telo tŕňami púšte a bodliakmi.

⁷And Gideon said, Therefore when Jehovah hath delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.

⁸A odíduc odtiaľ hore do Penuela hovoril im podobne. Ale mužovia Penuela mu odpovedali tak, ako odpovedali mužovia Sukkóta.

⁸And he went up thence to Penuel, and spake unto them in like manner; and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered.

⁹A povedal aj mužom Penuela: Keď sa navrátim v pokoji, rozborím túto vežu.

⁹And he spake also unto the men of Penuel, saying, When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower.

¹⁰A Zebach a Calmunna boli v Karkore a ich tábor vojska s nimi, okolo pätnásť tisíc mužov, všetci, ktorí boli pozostali z celého tábora synov východu. A tých, ktorí padli, bolo sto dvadsať tisíc mužov, všetko takí, ktorí narábali mečom.

¹⁰Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and their hosts with them, about fifteen thousand men, all that were left of all the host of the children of the east; for there fell a hundred and twenty thousand men that drew sword.

¹¹A Gedeon odišiel hore cestou tých, ktorí bývajú v stánoch, od východu Nobacha a Jogbehy, a uderil na tábor, kým sa tábor cítil bezpečný.

¹¹And 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.

¹²A keď utekali Zebach a Calmunna, honil ich a zajal oboch kráľov Madianových, Zebacha a Calmunnu, predesiac všetko vojsko.

¹²And Zebah and Zalmunna fled; and he pursued after them; and he took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and discomfited all the host.

¹³A keď sa navracoval Gedeon, syn Joasov, z boja, od svahu vrchu Cháresa,

¹³And Gideon the son of Joash returned from the battle from the ascent of Heres.

¹⁴zajal mládenca z mužov mesta Sukkóta a povypytoval sa ho, ktorý mu popísal kniežatá Sukkóta a jeho starších, sedemdesiatsedem mužov.

¹⁴And he caught a young man of the men of Succoth, and inquired of him: and he described for him the princes of Succoth, and the elders thereof, seventy and seven men.

¹⁵A prijdúc k mužom Sukkóta povedal: Tu hľa, Zebach a Calmunna, pre ktorých ste ma pohanili povediac: Či je azda päsť Zebachova a Calmunnova už vo tvojej ruke, aby sme dali tvojim ustatým mužom chleba?

¹⁵And he came unto the men of Succoth, and said, Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, concerning whom ye did taunt me, saying, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thy hand, that we should give bread unto thy men that are weary?

¹⁶Preto vezmúc starších mesta i tŕne púšte i bodliaky dal nimi cítiť mužom Sukkóta svoju moc.

¹⁶And he took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness and briers, and with them he taught the men of Succoth.

¹⁷Aj vežu Penuela rozboril a pobil mužov mesta.

¹⁷And he brake down the tower of Penuel, and slew the men of the city.

¹⁸Potom riekol Zebachovi a Calmunnovi: Jakí to boli mužovia, ktorých ste zabili na Tábore? A oni povedali: Takí jako ty, každý na pohľad ako kráľovský syn.

¹⁸Then 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.

¹⁹A riekol: Moji bratia, synovia mojej matky, to boli. Jako že žije Hospodin, keby ste ich boli nechali žiť, nebol by som vás zabil.

¹⁹And he said, They were my brethren, the sons of my mother: as Jehovah liveth, if ye had saved them alive, I would not slay you.

²⁰A povedal Jeterovi, svojmu prvorodenému: Vstaň, zabi ich! Ale mládenec nevytiahol svojho meča, lebo sa bál, pretože bol ešte len chlapec.

²⁰And he said unto Jether his first-born, Up, and slay them. But the youth drew not his sword; for he feared, because he was yet a youth.

²¹A Zebach a Calmunna povedali: Vstaň ty a obor sa na nás, lebo jaký muž, taká jeho sila. Vtedy vstal Gedeon a zabil Zebacha i Calmunnu a vzal ozdobné mesiačiky, ktoré boly na hrdlách ich veľblúdov.

²¹Then 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 the crescents that were on their camels' necks.

²²Potom povedali izraelskí mužovia Gedeonovi: Panuj nad nami i ty i tvoj syn i syn tvojho syna; lebo si nás zachránil z ruky Madiana.

²²Then 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 saved us out of the hand of Midian.

²³Ale Gedeon im riekol: Nebudem ja panovať nad vami ani nebude panovať nad vami môj syn. Hospodin bude panovať nad vami.

²³And Gideon said unto them, I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you: Jehovah shall rule over you.

²⁴A ešte im povedal Gedeon: Toto by som žiadal od vás: Dajte mi každý náušnicu zo svojej koristi. Lebo nepriatelia mali zlaté náušnice, pretože boli Izmaeliti.

²⁴And Gideon said unto them, I would make a request of you, that ye would give me every man the ear-rings of his spoil. (For they had golden ear-rings, because they were Ishmaelites.)

²⁵Na to mu povedali: Dáme vďačne. A prestreli rúcho a hodili ta každý náušnicu zo svojej koristi.

²⁵And they answered, We will willingly give them. And they spread a garment, and did cast therein every man the ear-rings of his spoil.

²⁶A bolo váhy zlatých náušníc, ktoré vyžiadal, tisíc sedemsto šeklov zlata krome ozdobných mesiačikov a záveskov perlovej podoby a purpurového rúcha, ktoré mali na sebe madianskí kráľovia, a krome nákrčníkov, ktoré boly na hrdlách ich veľblúdov.

²⁶And the weight of the golden ear-rings that he requested was a thousand and seven hundred [shekels] of gold, besides the crescents, and the pendants, and the purple raiment that was on the kings of Midian, and besides the chains that were about their camels' necks.

²⁷A Gedeon z toho urobil efod a složil ho vo svojom meste, v Ofre. A smilnil tam celý Izrael chodiac ta za ním, a stal sa osídlom Gedeonovi i jeho domu.

²⁷And Gideon made an ephod thereof, and put it in his city, even in Ophrah: and all Israel played the harlot after it there; and it became a snare unto Gideon, and to his house.

²⁸A tak bol Madian zohnutý pred synmi Izraelovými, ani viacej nepozdvihli svojej hlavy. A zem mala pokoj štyridsať rokov, vo dňoch Gedeonových.

²⁸So Midian was subdued before the children of Israel, and they lifted up their heads no more. And the land had rest forty years in the days of Gideon.

²⁹A Jerubbál, syn Joasov, odišiel a býval vo svojom dome.

²⁹And Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and dwelt in his own house.

³⁰A Gedeon mal sedemdesiat synov, ktorí pošli z jeho bedra, lebo mal mnoho žien.

³⁰And Gideon had threescore and ten sons of his body begotten; for he had many wives.

³¹I jeho ženina, ktorú mal v Sicheme, porodila mu syna, a pridal mu meno Abimelech.

³¹And his concubine that was in Shechem, she also bare him a son, and he called his name Abimelech.

³²A keď zomrel Gedeon, syn Joasov, v dobrej starobe, pochovaný bol v hrobe Joasa, svojho otca, v Ofre Abiezerovej.

³²And 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 Abiezrites.

³³A stalo sa hneď, ako zomrel Gedeon, že znova smilnili synovia Izraelovi idúc za Bálmi a postavili si Bál-beríta za boha.

³³And it came to pass, as soon as Gideon was dead, that the children of Israel turned again, and played the harlot after the Baalim, and made Baal-berith their god.

³⁴A nepamätali synovia Izraelovi na Hospodina, svojho Boha, ktorý ich vytrhol z ruky všetkých ich nepriateľov dookola.

³⁴And the children of Israel remembered not Jehovah their God, who had delivered them out of the hand of all their enemies on every side;

³⁵Ani neučinili milosrdenstva s domom Jerubbálovým, Gedeonovým, podľa všetkého toho dobrého, ktoré učinil Izraelovi.

³⁵neither showed they kindness to the house of Jerubbaal, [who is] Gideon, according to all the goodness which he had showed unto Israel.
