DK latinica Serbian Bible: Daničić–Karadžić (Latin script) WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon) 1 I urani Jeroval, to je Gedeon, i sav narod što beše s njim, i stadoše u logor kod izvora Aroda; a vojska madijanska beše mu sa severa kraj gore Moreha u dolini. 1 Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people who were with him, rose up early and encamped beside the spring of Harod. Midian’s camp was on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley.
2 A Gospod reče Gedeonu: Mnogo je naroda s tobom, zato im neću dati Madijane u ruke, da se ne bi hvalio Izrailj suprot meni govoreći: Moja me ruka izbavi. 2 Yahweh said to Gideon, “The people who are with you are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel brag against me, saying, ‘My own hand has saved me.’
3 Nego sada oglasi da čuje narod i reci: Ko se boji i koga je strah, neka se vrati i nek ide odmah ka gori Galadu. I vrati se iz naroda dvadeset i dve hiljade; a deset hiljada osta. 3 Now therefore proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, ‘Whoever is fearful and trembling, let him return and depart from Mount Gilead.’” So twenty-two thousand of the people returned, and ten thousand remained.
4 Opet reče Gospod Gedeonu: Još je mnogo naroda; svedi ih na vodu, i onde ću ti ih prebrati; za kog ti god kažem: Taj neka ide s tobom, neka ide s tobom; a za koga ti god kažem: Taj neka ne ide s tobom, neka ne ide. 4 Yahweh said to Gideon, “There are still too many people. Bring them down to the water, and I will test them for you there. It shall be, that those whom I tell you, ‘This shall go with you,’ shall go with you; and whoever I tell you, ‘This shall not go with you,’ shall not go.”
5 I svede narod na vodu; a Gospod reče Gedeonu: Koji stane laptati jezikom vodu, kao što lapće pas, metni ga na stranu; tako i svakog koji klekne na kolena da pije. 5 So 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.”
6 I onih koji laptaše, rukom svojom k ustima prinesavši vodu, beše tri stotine ljudi; a sav ostali narod kleče na kolena svoja da piju vode. 6 The 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.
7 Tada reče Gospod Gedeonu: S tih trista ljudi koji laptaše vodu izbaviću vas i predaću ti u ruke Madijane; neka dakle odlazi sav ovaj narod svako na svoje mesto. 7 Yahweh said to Gideon, “I will save you by the three hundred men who lapped, and deliver the Midianites into your hand. Let all the other people go, each to his own place.”
8 I narod uze brašnjenice i trube; i Gedeon otpusti sve ljude Izrailjce da idu svaki u svoj šator, a onih trista ljudi zadrža. A logor madijanski beše niže njega u dolini. 8 So the people took food in their hand, and their trumpets; and he sent all the rest of the men of Israel to their own tents, but retained the three hundred men; and the camp of Midian was beneath him in the valley.
9 I onu noć reče mu Gospod: Ustani, siđi u logor, jer ti ga dadoh u ruke. 9 That same night, Yahweh said to him, “Arise, go down into the camp, for I have delivered it into your hand.
10 Ako li se bojiš sam sići, siđi u logor sa Furom momkom svojim, 10 But if you are afraid to go down, go with Purah your servant down to the camp.
11 i čućeš šta govore, pa će ti osiliti ruke i udarićeš na logor. I siđe on i Fura momak njegov do kraja vojske koja beše u logoru. 11 You will 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.
12 A Madijani i Amalici i sav narod istočni ležahu po dolini kao skakavci, tako ih beše mnogo; i kamilama njihovim ne beše broja; beše ih mnogo kao peska po bregu morskom, 12 The 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.
13 i kad dođe Gedeon, a to jedan pripovedaše drugu svom san i govoraše: Gle usnih, a to pečen hleb ječmen kotrljaše se k logoru madijanskom i dođe do šatora i stade udarati o njih, te padahu, i ispremeta ih, i popadaše šatori. 13 When Gideon had come, behold, there was a man telling a dream to his fellow. He said, “Behold, I dreamed a dream; and behold, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian, came to the tent, and struck it so that it fell, and turned it upside down, so that the tent lay flat.”
14 A drug mu odgovori i reče: To nije drugo nego mač Gedeona sina Joasovog čoveka Izrailjca; predao mu je u ruke Bog Madijane i sav ovaj logor. 14 His 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.”
15 I kad Gedeon ču kako onaj pripovedi san i kako ga ovaj istumači, pokloni se i vrati se u logor izrailjski i reče: Ustajte, jer vam dade Gospod u ruke logor madijanski. 15 It was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream and its interpretation, that he worshiped. Then he returned into the camp of Israel and said, “Arise, for Yahweh has delivered the army of Midian into your hand!”
16 Potom razdeli trista ljudi u tri čete, i dade svakome po trubu u ruku i po prazan žban i po luč u žban. 16 He 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.
17 I reče im: Na mene gledajte, pa tako činite; gle, je ću doći na kraj logora, pa šta ja uščinim, to činite. 17 He 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.
18 Kad ja zatrubim u trubu i svi koji budu sa mnom, tada i vi zatrubite u trube oko svega logora, i vičite: Mač Gospodnji i Gedeonov. 18 When 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!’”
19 I dođe Gedeon i sto ljudi što behu s njim na kraj logora, u početak srednje straže, istom behu promenili stražu; a oni zatrubeše u trube i polupaše žbanove koje imahu u rukama. 19 So 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. Then they blew the trumpets and broke in pieces the pitchers that were in their hands.
20 Tako tri čete zatrubiše u trube i polupaše žbanove, i držahu u levoj ruci lučeve a u desnoj trube trubeći, i povikaše: Mač Gospodnji i Gedeonov. 20 The three companies blew the trumpets, 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!”
21 I stadoše svaki na svom mestu oko vojske; a sva se vojska smete i stadoše vikati i bežati. 21 They each stood in his place around the camp, and all the army ran; and they shouted, and put them to flight.
22 A kad zatrubiše u trube onih tri stotine, Gospod obrati mač svakome na druga njegovog po svemu logoru, te pobeže vojska do Vet-Asete, u Zererat, do obale avel-meolske kod Tavata. 22 They 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.
23 A Izrailjci iz plemena Neftalimovog i Asirova i iz svega plemena Manasijinog stekoše se i goniše Madijane. 23 The men of Israel were gathered together out of Naphtali, out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued Midian.
24 I Gedeon posla glasnike po svoj gori Jefremovoj govoreći: Siđite pred Madijane i uhvatite im vode do Vetvare duž Jordana. I stekoše se svi ljudi iz plemena Jefremovog i uhvatiše vode do Vetvare duž Jordana. 24 Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill country of Ephraim, saying, “Come down against Midian and take the waters before them 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.
25 I uhvatiše dva kneza madijanska, Oriva i Ziva, i ubiše Oriva na steni Orivovoj, a Ziva ubiše kod tesnaca Zivovog; i goniše Madijane, i donesoše glavu Orivovu i Zivovu ka Gedeonu preko Jordana. 25 They took the two princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb. They killed Oreb at Oreb’s rock, and Zeeb they killed at Zeeb’s wine press, as they pursued Midian. Then they brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon beyond the Jordan.
