¹Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people who were with him, rose up early, and encamped beside the spring of Harod: and the camp of Midian was 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.

²Yahweh said to Gideon, “The people who are with you are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, ‘My own hand has 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 proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, ‘Whoever is fearful and trembling, let him return and depart from Mount Gilead.’” Twenty-two thousand of the people returned, and ten thousand remained.

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.

⁴Yahweh said to Gideon, “The people are still too many. Bring them down to the water, and I will test them for you there. It shall be, that of whom I tell you, ‘This shall go with you,’ the same shall go with you; and of whoever I tell you, ‘This shall not go with you,’ 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 to the water; and Yahweh said to Gideon, “Everyone who laps of the water with his tongue, like a dog laps, you shall set him by himself; likewise everyone who bows down on 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!'

⁶The number of those who lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was three hundred men; but all the rest of the people bowed down on their knees to drink water.

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

⁷Yahweh said to Gideon, “By the three hundred men who lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into your hand. Let all the other people go, each to his own 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 food in their hand, and their trumpets; and he sent all the men of Israel every man to his tent, but retained the three hundred men: and the camp 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.

⁹It happened the same night, that Yahweh said to him, “Arise, go down into the camp; for I have delivered it into your hand.

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

¹⁰But if you are afraid to go down, go with Purah your servant down to the camp:

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

¹¹and you shall hear what they say; and afterward your hands will be strengthened to go down into the camp.” Then went he down with Purah his servant to the outermost part of the armed men who were in 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.

¹²The Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like locusts for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand which is on the seashore 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.

¹³When Gideon had come, behold, there was a man telling a dream to his fellow; and he said, “Behold, I dreamed a dream; and behold, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian, and came to the tent, and struck it so that it fell, and turned it upside down, so that the tent lay flat.”

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.'

¹⁴His fellow answered, “This is nothing other than the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel. God has delivered Midian into his hand, with all the army.”

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.'

¹⁵It was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and its interpretation, that he worshiped; and he returned into the camp of Israel, and said, “Arise; for Yahweh has delivered the army of Midian into your hand!”

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!'

¹⁶He divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put into the hands of all of them trumpets, and empty pitchers, with torches within the pitchers.

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

¹⁷He said to them, “Watch me, and do likewise. Behold, when I come to the outermost part of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so you shall 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 the trumpet, I and all who are with me, then blow the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and shout, ‘For Yahweh and for 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 who were with him, came to the outermost part of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch, when they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and broke in pieces 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.

²⁰The three companies blew the trumpets, and broke the pitchers, and held the torches in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands with which to blow; and they shouted, “The sword of Yahweh 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!'

²¹They each stood in his place around the camp; and all the army ran; and they shouted, and put them to flight.

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

²²They blew the three hundred trumpets, and Yahweh set every man’s sword against his fellow, and against all the army; and the army fled as far as Beth Shittah toward Zererah, as far as the border of Abel Meholah, by 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.

²³The men of Israel were gathered together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after Midian.

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

²⁴Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill country of Ephraim, saying, “Come down against Midian, and take before them the waters, as far as Beth Barah, even the Jordan!” So all the men of Ephraim were gathered together, and took the waters as far as Beth Barah, even the 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.

²⁵They took the two princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb; and they killed Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and Zeeb they killed at the winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian: and they brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon beyond 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.
