Judges 7
Swete's Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
Ἰαρβάλ, αὐτός ἐστιν Γεδεών, καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς μετ’ αὐτοῦ, καὶ παρενέβαλον ἐπὶ πηγὴν Ἀράδ· καὶ παρεμβολὴ Μαδιὰμ ἦν αὐτῶ ἀπὸ βορρᾶ ἀπὸ Γαβααθαμωρὰ ἐν κοιλάδι.
Early in the morning Jerubbaal (note: Jerubbaal is another name for Gideon and probably means let Baal contend; see Judges 6:32.) (that is, Gideon) and all the men with him camped beside the spring of Harod. And the camp of Midian was north of them in the valley near the hill of Moreh.
καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς Γεδεών Πολὺς ὁ λαὸς ὁ μετὰ σοῦ ὥστε μὴ παραδοῦναί με τὴν χειρὶ αὐτῶν, μή ποτε καυχήσηται Ἰσραὴλ ἐπ’ ἐμὲ λέγων Ἡ ἔσωσεν με.
Then the LORD said to Gideon, “You have too many men for Me to deliver Midian into their hands, lest Israel glorify themselves over Me, saying, ‘My own hand has saved me.’
καὶ νῦν λάλησον δὴ ἐν ὠσὶν τοῦ λαοῦ λέγων τίς ὁ φοβούμενος καὶ δειλός; ἐπιστρεφέτω καὶ ἐκχωρείτω ἀπὸ ὄρους Γαλαάδα. καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν ἀπὸ τοῦ λαοῦ εἴκοσι κα δύο χιλιάδες, κα χιλιάδες ὑπελείφθησαν.
Now, therefore, proclaim in the hearing of the men: ‘Whoever is fearful and trembling may turn back and leave Mount Gilead.’” So twenty-two thousand of them turned back, but ten thousand remained.
καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς Γεδεών Ἔτι ὁ λαὸς πολύς. κατένεγκον αὐτοὺς πρὸς τὸ ὕδωρ, καὶ ἐκκαθαρῶ σοι αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ· καὶ ἱστᾶι ὃν ἐὰν ὀπῶ πρὸς σέ οὗτος πορεύσεται σὺν σοι, αὐτὸς πορεύσεται σὺν σοί· καὶ πᾶς ὃν ἐὰν εἴπω πρὸς σέ οὗτος οὐ πορεύεσται μετὰ σοῦ, αὐτὸς οὐ πορεύσεται μετὰ σοῦ.
Then the LORD said to Gideon, “There are still too many men. Take them down to the water, and I will sift them for you there. If I say to you, ‘This one shall go with you,’ he shall go. But if I say, ‘This one shall not go with you,’ he shall not go.”
καὶ κατήνεγκεν τὸν λαὸν πρὸς τὸ ὕδωρ. καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς Γεδεών Πᾶς ὃς ἄη λάψῃ τῇ γλώσσῃ αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τοῦ ὕδατος ὡς ἐὰν λάψῃ ὁ κύων, στήσεις αὐτὸν κατὰ μόνας, καὶ πᾶς ὃς ἐὰν κλίνῃ ἐπὶ τὰ γόνατα αὐτοῦ πιεῖν·
So Gideon brought the men down to the water, and the LORD said to him, “Separate those who lap the water with their tongues like a dog from those who kneel to drink.”
καὶ ἐγένετο ὁ ἀριθμὸς τῶν λαψάντων ἐν χειρὶ αὐτῶν πρὸς τὸ στόμα αὐτῶν τριακόσιοι ἄνδρες, καὶ πᾶν τὸ κατάλοιπον τοῦ λαοῦ ἔκλιναν ἐπὶ τὰ γόνατα αὐτῶν πιεῖν ὕδωρ.
And the number of those who lapped the water with their hands to their mouths was three hundred men; all the others knelt to drink.
καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς Γεδεών Ἐν τοῖς τριακοσίοις ἀνδράσιν τοῖς λάψασιν σώσω ὑμᾶς καὶ δώσω τὴν Μαδιὰμ ἐν χειρί σου, καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς πορεύσονται ἀνὴρ εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτοῦ.
Then the LORD said to Gideon, “With the three hundred men who lapped the water I will save you and deliver the Midianites into your hand. But all the others are to go home.”
καὶ ἔλαβον τὸν ἐπισιτισμὸν τοῦ λαοῦ ἐν χειρὶ αὐτῶν καὶ τὰς κερατίνας αὐτῶν· καὶ τὸν πάντα ἄνδρα Ἰσραὴλ ἐξαπέστειλεν ἄνδρα εἰς σκηνὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ τοὺς τριακοσίους ἄνδρας κατίσχυσεν. καὶ ἡ ἡ Μαδιὰμ ἦσαν αὐτοῦ ὑποκάτω ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι.
So Gideon sent the rest of the Israelites to their tents but kept the three hundred men, who took charge of the provisions and rams’ horns of the others. And the camp of Midian lay below him in the valley.
Καὶ νυκτὶ ἐκείνῃ καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτὸν κύριος Ἀνάστας κατάβηθι ἐν τῇ παρεμβολῇ, ὅτι παρέδωκα αὐτὴν ἐν τῇ χειρί σου.
That night the LORD said to Gideon, “Get up and go down against the camp, for I have delivered it into your hand.
καὶ εἰ φοβῇ σὺ καταβῆναι, κατάβηθι σὺ κα Φάρα τὸ παιδάριόν σου εἰς τὴν παρεμβολήν,
But if you are afraid to do so, then go down to the camp with your servant Purah
καὶ ἀκούση τί λαλήσουσιν· καὶ μετὰ τοῦτο κατέβη αὐτὸς καὶ Φάρα τὸ παιδάριον αὐτοῦ πρὸς ἀρχὴν τῶν πεντήκοντα οἳ ἦσαν ἐν τῇ παρεμβολῇ.
and listen to what they are saying. Then your hands will be strengthened to attack the camp.” So he went with Purah his servant to the outposts where armed men were guarding the camp.
καὶ Μαδιὰμ καὶ Ἀμαλὴκ καὶ πάντες υἱοὶ ἀνατολῶν βεβλημένοι ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι ὡσεὶ ἀκρὶς εἰς πλῆθος, καὶ ταῖς καμήλοις αὐτῶν οὐκ ἦν ἀριθμός, ἀλλὰ ἦσαν ὡς ἡ ἄμμος ἡ ἐπὶ χείλους τῆς θαλάσσης εἰς πλῆθος.
Now the Midianites, Amalekites, and all the other people of the east had settled in the valley like a swarm of locusts, and their camels were as countless as the sand on the seashore.
καὶ ἦλθεν Γεδεών, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀνὴρ ἐξηγούμενος τῷ πλησίον αὐτοῦ ἐνύπνιον, καὶ εἶπεν Ἐνύπνιον ἰδοὺ ἐνυπνιασάμην, καὶ ἰδοὺ μαγὶς ἄρτου κριθίνου στρεφομένη ἐν τῆ παρεμβολῇ Μαδιάμ, καὶ ἦλθεν ἕως τῆς σκηνῆς καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτήν, καὶ ἔπεσεν, καὶ ἀνέστρεψεν αὐτὴν ἄνω, καὶ ἔπεσεν ἡ σκηνή.
And as Gideon arrived, a man was telling his friend about a dream. “Behold, I had a dream,” he said, “and I saw a loaf of barley bread come tumbling into the Midianite camp. It struck the tent so hard that the tent overturned and collapsed.”
καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ὁ πλησίον αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν Οὐκ ἔστιν αὕτη εἰ μὴ ῥομφαία Γεδεὼν υἱοῦ Ἰωὰς ἀνδρὸς Ἰσραήλ· παρέδωκεν ὁ θεὸς ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ τὴν Μαδιὰμ καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν παρεμβολήν.
His friend replied: “This is nothing less than the sword of Gideon son of Joash, the Israelite. God has delivered Midian and the whole camp into his hand.”
καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἤκουσεν Γεδεὼν τὴν ἐξήγησιν τοῦ ἐνυπνίου καὶ τὴν σύνκρισιν αὐτοῦ, καὶ προσεκύνησεν κυρίῳ, καὶ ὑπέστρεψεν εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν Ἰσραὴλ καὶ εἶπεν Ἀνάστητε, ὅτι παρέδωκεν κύριος ἐν χειρὶ ἡμῶν τὴν παρεμβολὴν Μαδιάμ.
When Gideon heard the dream and its interpretation, he bowed in worship. He returned to the camp of Israel and said, “Get up, for the LORD has delivered the camp of Midian into your hand.”
καὶ διεῖλεν τοὺς τριακοσίους ἄνδρας εἰς τρεῖς ἀρχάς, καὶ ἔδωκεν κερατίνας ἐν χειρὶ πάντων καὶ ὑδρείας κενὰς καὶ λαμπάδας ἐν ταῖς ὑδρείαις,
And he divided the three hundred men into three companies and gave each man a ram’s horn in one hand and a large jar in the other, containing a torch.
καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς Ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ καὶ οὕτως ποιήσετε· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ εἰσπορεύομαι ἐν ἀρχῇ τῆς βολῆς, καὶ ἱστᾶι καθὼς ἂν ποιήσω οὕτως ποιήσετε·
“Watch me and do as I do,” Gideon said. “When I come to the outskirts of the camp, do exactly as I do.
καὶ σαλπιῶ ἐν τῇ κερατίνη ἐγώ, καὶ πάντες μετ’ ἐμοῦ σαλπιεῖτε ἐν ταῖς κερατίναις κύκλῳ ὅλης τῆς παρεμβολῆς, καὶ ἐρεῖτε τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ τῶ Γεδεών.
When I and all who are with me blow our horns, then you are also to blow your horns from all around the camp and shout, ‘For the LORD and for Gideon!’”
Καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Γεδεὼν καὶ οἱ ἑκατὸν ἄνδρες οἱ μετ’ αὐτοῦ ἐν ἀρχῇ τῆς παρεμβολῆς ἐν ἀρχῇ τῆς φυλακῆς μέσης· καὶ ἐγείροντες ἤγειραν τοὺς φυλάσσοντας, καὶ ἐσάλπισαν ἐν ταῖς κερατίνοις, καὶ ἐξετίναξαν τὰς ὑδρείας τὰς ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτῶν.
Gideon and the hundred men with him reached the outskirts of the camp at the beginning of the middle watch, just after the changing of the guard. They blew their horns and broke the jars that were in their hands.
καὶ ἐσάλπισαν αἱ τρεῖς ἀρχαὶ ἐν ταῖς κερατίναις, καὶ σ τὰς ὑδρείας, καὶ ἐκράτησαν ἐν χερσὶν ἀριστεραῖς αὐτῶν τὰς καὶ ἐν χερσὶν δεξιαῖς αὐτῶν τὰς κερατίνας τοῦ ἀνέκραξαν Ῥομφαία τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ τῷ Γεδεών.
The three companies blew their horns and shattered their jars. Holding the torches in their left hands and the horns in their right hands, they shouted, “A sword for the LORD and for Gideon!”
καὶ ἔστησαν ἀνὴρ ἐφ’ ἑαυτῷ τῆς παρεμβολῆς, καὶ ἔδραμεν πᾶσα ἡ παρεμβολή, καὶ ἐσήμαναν καὶ ἔφυγαν.
Each Israelite took his position around the camp, and the entire Midianite army fled, crying out as they ran.
καὶ. ἐσάλπισαν ἐν ταῖς ταῖς ὅσας κερατίναις, καὶ ἔθηκεν κύριος τὴν ῥομφαίαν ἀνδρὸς ἐν τῷ πλησίον αὐτοῦ ἐν πάσῃ τῆ παρεμβολῇ· καὶ ἔφυγεν ἡ παρεμβολὴ ἕως Βηθσεεδτὰ Γαραγάθα, ἕως χείλους Ἀβωμεουλὰ ἐπὶ Ταβάθ.
And when the three hundred rams’ horns sounded, the LORD set all the men in the camp against one another with their swords. The army fled to Beth-shittah toward Zererah (note: Some Hebrew manuscripts Zeredah) as far as the border of Abel-meholah near Tabbath.
καὶ ἐβόησαν ἀνὴρ Ἰσραὴλ ἀπό Νεφθαλεὶ καὶ ἀπὸ Ἀσήρ καὶ ἀπὸ παντὸς Μανασση, καὶ ἐδίωξαν ὀπίσω Μαδιάμ.
Then the men of Israel were called out from Naphtali, Asher, and all Manasseh, and they pursued the Midianites.
Καὶ ἀγγέλους ἀπέστειλεν Γεδεὼν ἐν παντὶ ὄρει Ἐφράιμ λέγων Κατάβητε εἰς συνάντησιν Μαδιάμ, καὶ καταλάβετε ἑαυτοῖς τὸ ὕδωρ ἕως Βαιθηρὰ καὶ τὸν Ἰορδάνην· καὶ ἐβόησεν πᾶς ἀνὴρ Ἐφράιμ, καὶ προκατελάβοντο τὸ ὕδωρ ἕως Βαιθηρὰ καὶ τὸν Ἰορδάνην.
Gideon sent messengers throughout the hill country of Ephraim to say, “Come down against the Midianites and seize the waters of the Jordan ahead of them as far as Beth-barah.” So all the men of Ephraim were called out, and they captured the waters of the Jordan as far as Beth-barah.
καὶ συνέλαβον τοὺς ἄρχοντας Μαδιάμ, κα τὸν καὶ τὸν Ζήβ, καὶ ἀπέκτειναν τὸν Ὀρὴβ ἐν Σούρ, κα τὸν Σὴβ καὶ Ζὴβ ἤνεγκαν πρὸς Γεδεὼν ἀπὸ πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου. καὶ
They also captured Oreb and Zeeb, the two princes of Midian; and they killed Oreb at the rock of Oreb and Zeeb at the winepress of Zeeb. So they pursued the Midianites and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the other side of the Jordan.
