ବିଚାରକର୍ତାମାନଙ୍କ ବିବରଣ 7

1 ତା ପରଦିନ ପ୍ରତକ୍ସ୍ଟ୍ଯଷ ରେ ୟିରକ୍ସ୍ଟଦ୍ଦାଲ୍ ଏବଂ ତାଙ୍କର ସମସ୍ତ ଲୋକମାନେ ଉଠି ହାରୋଦ ଝରଣା ନିକଟରେ ଛାଉଣୀ ସ୍ଥାପନ କଲେ। ମିଦିଯନ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କର ଛାଉଣୀ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ଉତ୍ତର ରେ ମାରେି ପର୍ବତ ନିକଟ ତଳଭୂମିରେ ଥିଲା।

2 ଏହାପରେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଗିଦ୍ଦିୟୋନକକ୍ସ୍ଟ କହିଲେ, ମିଦିଯନମାନଙ୍କୁ ପରାସ୍ତ କରିବା ପାଇଁ ମୁ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ସହାୟ ହବେି। କିନ୍ତୁ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଏତେ ସୈନ୍ଯ ଅଛନ୍ତି ଯେ ମୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ପରାସ୍ତ କରାଇଲେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ସୈନ୍ଯମାନେ ଭାବିବେ ଯେ, ସମାନେେ ନିଜ ଶକ୍ତି ବଳ ରେ ଶତୃମାନଙ୍କୁ ପରାସ୍ତ କରିଛନ୍ତି। ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ଲୋକମାନେ ମାେତେ ଭୂଲିୟାଆନ୍ତକ୍ସ୍ଟ ବୋଲି ଓ ସମାନେେ ନିଜକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ନିଜେ ରକ୍ଷା କରିଛନ୍ତି ବୋଲି ଆତ୍ମାଶ୍ଲାଘା କରନ୍ତକ୍ସ୍ଟ ବୋଲି ମୁ ଗ୍ଭ ହେଁ ନାହିଁ।

3 ତେଣୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ପାଇଁ ଏକ ଘାଷେଣା କର, ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ କକ୍ସ୍ଟହ, ' ଯେଉଁ ଲୋକମାନେ ୟକ୍ସ୍ଟଦ୍ଧକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଭୟ କରୁଛନ୍ତି, ସମାନେେ ଗିଲିଯଦ ପାହାଡ ଛାଡି ସ୍ବଗୃହକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଫରେିୟିବା ଉଚିତ୍।'

4 ଏହାପରେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଗିଦ୍ଦିୟୋନଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ କହିଲେ, ତଥାପି ବହକ୍ସ୍ଟତ ସୈନ୍ଯଗଣ ଅଛନ୍ତି। ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଜଳ ଭିତରକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ନିଅ, ମୁ ତକ୍ସ୍ଟମ୍ଭ ପାଇଁ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ପରୀକ୍ଷା କରିବି। ଯଦି ମୁ କକ୍ସ୍ଟ ହେ, 'ଏହି ଲୋକ ଜଣଙ୍କ ତକ୍ସ୍ଟମ୍ଭ ସହିତ ୟିବ,' ' ସେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଅନକ୍ସ୍ଟସରଣ କରିବା ଉଚିତ୍,' କକ୍ସ୍ଟନ୍ତକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଯଦି ମୁ କ ହେ, 'ଏହି ଲୋକ ଜଣଙ୍କ ତକ୍ସ୍ଟମ୍ଭ ସହିତ ୟିବ ନାହିଁ,' ସେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଅନକ୍ସ୍ଟସରଣ କରିବା ଉଚିତ୍ ନକ୍ସ୍ଟହଁ।

5 ତେଣୁ ଗିଦ୍ଦିୟୋନ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ପାଣି ଭିତରକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ନଇଗେଲେ। ସଠାେରେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଗିଦ୍ଦିୟୋନଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ କହିଲେ, ଏହି ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଦକ୍ସ୍ଟଇଟି ଦଳ ରେ ବିଭକ୍ତ କର। ଯେଉଁମାନେ କକ୍ସ୍ଟକକ୍ସ୍ଟର ପରି ନିଜ ଜିଭ ରେ ଗ୍ଭକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଗ୍ଭକକ୍ସ୍ଟ କରି ପାଣି ପିଇବେ, ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଗୋଟିଏ ଗୋଷ୍ଠୀ ରେ ଓ ଯେଉଁମାନେ ନଇଁପଡି ପାଣି ପିଅନ୍ତି, ସହେି ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଆଉ ଏକ ଗୋଷ୍ଠୀ କର।

6 ଏଥି ରେ 300 ଲୋକ ନିଜ ନିଜ ହାତ ରେ ମକ୍ସ୍ଟହଁ ରେ ହାତ ଦଇେ କକ୍ସ୍ଟକକ୍ସ୍ଟରପରି ଗ୍ଭକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଗ୍ଭକକ୍ସ୍ଟ କରି ଜଳପାନ କଲେ। ଏବଂ ଅନ୍ୟ ସମସ୍ତ ଲୋକ ଜଳ ପାନକରିବା ପାଇଁ ଆସ୍ଖକ୍ସ୍ଟମାଡି ନଇଁ ପଡିଲେ।

7 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଗିଦ୍ଦିୟୋନଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ କହିଲେ, ମୁ ଏହି 300 ଲୋକଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ ବ୍ଯବହାର କରିବି ଯେଉଁମାନେ କକ୍ସ୍ଟକକ୍ସ୍ଟର ପରି ଗ୍ଭକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଗ୍ଭକକ୍ସ୍ଟ କରି ଜଳପାନ କଲେ, ମୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ଦ୍ବାରା ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ସାହାୟ୍ଯ କରିବି ଓ ମିଦିଯନୀଯମାନଙ୍କୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ହସ୍ତ ରେ ପରାସ୍ତ କରାଇବି। ଅବଶିଷ୍ଟ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ସ୍ବଗୃହକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଫରୋଇ ଦିଅ।

8 ତେଣୁ ଗିଦ୍ଦିୟୋନ ସେ ସମସ୍ତ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଗୃହକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ପଠାଇ ଦେଲେ। ତାଙ୍କ ସହିତ ମାତ୍ର 300 ଲୋକ ରଖିଲେ। ସହେି 300 ଲୋକ ଅନ୍ୟମାନଙ୍କର ସାମଗ୍ରୀ ଓ ତୂରୀସବୁ ରଖିଲେ, ଯେଉଁମାନେ ଗୃହକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଗ୍ଭଲିଗଲେ।

9 ରାତ୍ରି ସମୟରେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଗିଦ୍ଦିୟୋନଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ କହିଲେ, ଉଠ, ସହେି ଛାଉଣୀକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଓହ୍ଲାଇ ୟାଅ। ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ପରାସ୍ତ କରିବା ରେ ମୁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଅନକ୍ସ୍ଟମତି ଦବେି।

10 ଯଦି ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଏକା ୟିବାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଭୟ କରୁଛ ତବେେ ତକ୍ସ୍ଟମ୍ଭ ସହିତ ତୁମ୍ଭର ସବେକ ଫକ୍ସ୍ଟରାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ନଇୟୋଅ।

11 ମିଦିଯନୀଯମାନଙ୍କର ଛାଉଣୀକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ୟାଅ। ସମାନଙ୍କେର କଥାସବୁ ଶକ୍ସ୍ଟଣ। ତବେେ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଆକ୍ରମଣ କରିବାକୁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଭୟ କରିବ ନାହିଁ।

12 ମିଦିଯକୀଯ, ଅମାଲକେୀଯ ଓ ପୂର୍ବ ଦେଶୀଯ ଲୋକମାନେ ଯେଉଁମାନେ ସଠାେରେ ଛାଇଣୀ କରିଥିଲେ ବହକ୍ସ୍ଟ ସଂଖ୍ଯକ ହତେକ୍ସ୍ଟ ପଙ୍ଗପାଳର ଦଳପରି ଦଖାଗେଲେ। ସମାନଙ୍କେର ଏତଗେକ୍ସ୍ଟଡିକ ଓଟ ଥିଲେ ଯେ, ସଗେକ୍ସ୍ଟଡିକ ସମକ୍ସ୍ଟଦ୍ର କୂଳର ବାଲିକଣା ତକ୍ସ୍ଟଲ୍ଯ ଦଖାଗେଲେ।

13 ଗିଦ୍ଦିୟୋନ ସଠାେରେ ଉପସ୍ଥିତ ହାଇେ ଶୁଣିଲେ ଯେ, ଜଣେ ତାଙ୍କର ସାଙ୍ଗକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଏକ ସ୍ବପ୍ନ ବିଷଯ ରେ କହକ୍ସ୍ଟଥିଲା, ସେ କହିଲା, ମୁ ସ୍ବପ୍ନ ଦେଖିଲି, ଏକ ୟବରୋଟୀ ମିଦିଯନୀଯ ଛାଉଣୀ ଆଡକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଗଡି ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଆସି ଆଘାତ କଲା, ତାହା ପଡିଗଲା, ତାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଓଲଟାଇଲା ପରେ ତମ୍ବୁମାନ ପଡିଗଲା।

14 ସହେି ଲୋକଟିର ବନ୍ଧକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଏହି ସ୍ବପ୍ନର ଅର୍ଥ ବକ୍ସ୍ଟଝି ପାରିଲା, ସେ କହିଲା, ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲୀରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଆସିଥିବା ଯୋୟାସର ପକ୍ସ୍ଟତ୍ର ଗିଦ୍ଦିୟୋନଙ୍କର ଖଡ୍ଗ ଏହା ଛଡା ଆଉ କିଛି ନକ୍ସ୍ଟ ହେଁ। ପରମେଶ୍ବର ମିଦିଯନୀଯମାନଙ୍କୁ ଓ ସମସ୍ତ ଶିବିରକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ତାଙ୍କ ହସ୍ତ ରେ ଦଇେଛନ୍ତି।

15 ସହେି ସ୍ବପ୍ନ ଓ ଏହାର ଅର୍ଥ ଶକ୍ସ୍ଟଣିସାରିବା ପରେ ଗିଦ୍ଦିୟୋନ ନତମସ୍ତ କରି ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କର ଉପାସନା କଲେ ଏବଂ ତାଙ୍କର ଛାଉଣୀକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଫରେିଗଲେ। ସଠାେରେ ସେ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ସୈନ୍ଯମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ଉଠ! ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ହସ୍ତ ରେ ମିଦିଯନୀଯ ସୈନ୍ଯଦଳକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ସମର୍ପଣ କରିଅଛନ୍ତି।

16 ଏହାପରେ ଗିଦ୍ଦିୟୋନ ସହେି 300 ସୈନ୍ଯଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ ତିନି ଦଳ ରେ ବିଭକ୍ତ କଲେ। ତା'ପରେ ସେ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଗୋଟିଏ ଗୋଟିଏ ଶିଙ୍ଗା ଓ ଗୋଟିଏ ଗୋଟିଏ ଶକ୍ସ୍ଟନ୍ଯ ପାତ୍ର ପ୍ରେତ୍ୟକକଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଦେଲେ। ପ୍ରେତ୍ୟକକ ପାତ୍ର ମଧିଅରେ ଗୋଟିଏ ଗୋଟିଏ ଜଳନ୍ତା ମଶାଲ ଥିଲା।

17 ଏହାପରେ ଗିଦ୍ଦିୟୋନ ତାଙ୍କର ସୈନ୍ଯମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ମାେତେ ଅନକ୍ସ୍ଟସରଣ କର ଏବଂ ଦେଖ ମୁ ଯାହା କରୁଛି ତକ୍ସ୍ଟମେ ସହେିପରି କର। ମାେ ପଛ ରେ ସନୋ ଛାଉଣୀର ସୀମା ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ଆସ। ମୁ ଯେତବେେଳେ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ଛାଉଣୀର ସୀମା ପାଖ ରେ ପହଁଞ୍ଚିବି। ମୁ ଯେପରି କରିବି ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଠିକ୍ ସହେିପରି କରିବ।

18 ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ସମସ୍ତେ ଶତୃ ଛାଉଣୀକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଘରୋଉ କରିବ ଏବଂ ମୁ ଏବଂ ମାେ ସଙ୍ଗ ରେ ଥିବା ସୈନ୍ଯମାନେ ଆମ୍ଭର ଶିଙ୍ଗା ବଜାଇବକ୍ସ୍ଟ। ତା'ପରେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଶିଙ୍ଗା ବଜାଇବ ଏବଂ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ସମସ୍ତେ ଏକା ସ୍ବର ରେ କହିବ, 'ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ଓ ଗିଦ୍ଦିୟୋନର ପାଇଁ।'

19 ତେଣୁ ଗିଦ୍ଦିୟୋନ ଏବଂ ତାଙ୍କ ସହିତ ଥିବା 100 ସୈନିକ ଛାଉଣୀ ପାଖ ରେ ପହନ୍ଚିଲେ। ସେତବେେଳେ ମିଦିଯନୀଯମାନେ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ନୂତନ ପ୍ରହରୀମାନଙ୍କୁ ପରିବର୍ତ୍ତନ କରୁଥିଲେ। ଏହା ମଧ୍ଯ ରାତ୍ରି ସମୟ ଥିଲା। ଏହି ସମୟରେ ଗିଦ୍ଦିୟୋନ ଓ ତା'ର ଲୋକମାନେ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ଶିଙ୍ଗାଗକ୍ସ୍ଟଡିକ ବଜାଇବାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଲାଗିଲେ ଓ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ଜାରଗୁଡିକୁ ଭାଙ୍ଗି ଚକ୍ସ୍ଟରମାର କରି ପକାଇଲେ।

20 ଏହାପରେ ତିନିଟି ଦଳର ସମସ୍ତ ସୈନିକମାନେ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ତୂରୀ ବଜାଇଲେ ଓ ସମସ୍ତ ଜାର ଭାଙ୍ଗି ପକାଇଲେ। ଏବଂ ସହେି ଲୋକମାନେ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ବାମ ହସ୍ତ ରେ ମଶାଲ ଓ ଦକ୍ଷିଣ ହସ୍ତ ରେ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ଶିଙ୍ଗାଗକ୍ସ୍ଟଡିକ ଧରିଲେ। ସମାନେେ ଉଚ୍ଚ ସ୍ବର ରେ କହିଲେ, ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ଖଡ୍ଗଟିଏ ଏବଂ ଗିଦ୍ଦିୟୋନ ପାଇଁ ଖଡ୍ଗଟିଏ।

21 ଗିଦ୍ଦିୟୋନର ସୈନ୍ଯମାନେ ଛାଉଣୀର ଚତକ୍ସ୍ଟଃପାଶର୍‌ବ ରେ ନିଜ ନିଜ ସ୍ଥାନ ରେ ଛିଡା ହେଲେ। ମିଦିଯନୀଯମାନେ ଆକସ୍ମିକ ବିପଦ ରେ ପଡିଲେ ଏବଂ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ଜୀବନ ବଞ୍ଚାଇବା ପାଇଁ ଦୌଡିଲେ।

22 ଯେତବେେଳେ ଗିଦ୍ଦିୟୋନର 300 ସୈନିକମାନେ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ଶିଙ୍ଗାଗକ୍ସ୍ଟଡିକ ବଜାଇଲେ। ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ମିଦିଯନୀଯମାନଙ୍କୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ନିଜ ନିଜ ମଧିଅରେ ଖଡ୍ଗ ଦ୍ବାରା ୟକ୍ସ୍ଟଦ୍ଧ କରାଇଲେ। ସେଥି ରେ ସୈନ୍ଯଦଳ ସରୋଦାଆଡେ, ବୌଥ୍ ଶିଟା ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ଟଦ୍ଦତ ନିକଟସ୍ଥ ଆବେଲ୍ ମହୋଲାର ସୀମା ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ପଳାଯନ କଲେ।

23 ଏହାପରେ ସୈନ୍ଯମାନେ, ଯେଉଁମାନେ କି ନଲ୍ଗାଲି ପରିବାରବର୍ଗ ଆଶରେ ଏବଂ ମନଃହସ ଥିଲେ, ସମାନେେ ଏକତ୍ରୀତ ହାଇେ ମିଦିଯନୀଯମାନଙ୍କ ପଛ ରେ ଗୋଡ଼ାଇଲେ।

24 ଏହାପରେ ଗିଦ୍ଦିୟୋନ ପର୍ବତମଯ ଦେଶ ଇଫ୍ରଯିମକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଦୂତମାନଙ୍କୁ ପଠାଇଲେ। ଦୂତଗଣ କହିଲେ, ଓହ୍ଲାଇ ଆସ ଏବଂ ମିଦିଯନୀମାନଙ୍କ ସୈନ୍ଯଗଣକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଆକ୍ରମଣ କର। ୟର୍ଦ୍ଦନ ନଦୀ ଓ ବୈଥ୍-ବାରା ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ନିଜ ନିଯନ୍ତ୍ରଣକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଆଣ। ମିଦିଯନୀଯମାନେ ସଠାେରେ ପହଞ୍ଚିବା ପୂର୍ବରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଏପରି କର।

25 ଇଫ୍ରଯିମର ଲୋକମାନେ ମିଦିଯନର ଦକ୍ସ୍ଟଇ ନତେୃବର୍ଗଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଅକ୍ତିଆର କଲେ। ସମାନେେ ସେବ୍ ଓ ଓ ରବେ ଥିଲେ। ଇଫ୍ରଯିମ ଲୋକମାନେ ଓ ରେବ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ, ଓ ରବେ-ଶୈଳ ନିକଟରେ ହତ୍ଯା କଲେ। ସମାନେେ ସେବ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ ସବରେ ଦ୍ରାକ୍ଷାକକ୍ସ୍ଟଣ୍ତ ନିକଟରେ ହତ୍ଯା କଲେ। ସମାନେେ ମିଦିଯନୀଯକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ନିରନ୍ତର ଘଉଡାଇବାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଲାଗିଲେ ଏବଂ ସେ ଓ ରବେ ଓ ସବରେ ମସ୍ତକକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଗିଦ୍ଦିୟୋନକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଆଣିଲେ। ସହେି ସମୟରେ ଗିଦ୍ଦିୟୋନ ୟର୍ଦ୍ଦନ ନଦୀର ଆରପାରି ରେ ଥିଲେ।

1 Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people that were with him, rose up early, and pitched beside the well of Harod: so that the host of the Midianites were on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley.

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

3 Now therefore go to, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand.

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

5 So he brought down the people unto the water: and the Lord said unto 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 upon his knees to drink.

6 And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, were three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water.

7 And the Lord said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the other people go every man unto his place.

8 So the people took victuals in their hand, and their trumpets: and he sent all the rest of Israel every man unto his tent, and retained those three hundred men: and the host of Midian was beneath him in the valley.

9 And it came to pass the same night, that the Lord said unto him, Arise, get thee down unto the host; for I have delivered it into thine hand.

10 But if thou fear to go down, go thou with Phurah thy servant down to the host:

11 And thou shalt hear what they say; and afterward shall thine hands be strengthened to go down unto the host. Then went he down with Phurah his servant unto the outside of the armed men that were in the host.

12 And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like grasshoppers for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand by the sea side for multitude.

13 And when Gideon was come, behold, there was a man that told a dream unto his fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and, lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the host of Midian, and came unto a tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned it, that the tent lay along.

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

15 And it was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he worshipped, and returned into the host of Israel, and said, Arise; for the Lord hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian.

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

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

18 When I blow with a trumpet, I and all that are with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, The sword of the Lord, and of Gideon.

19 So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto 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 brake the pitchers that were in their hands.

20 And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow withal: and they cried, The sword of the Lord, and of Gideon.

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

22 And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and the Lord set every man’s sword against his fellow, even throughout all the host: and the host fled to Beth-shittah in Zererath, and to the border of Abel-meholah, unto Tabbath.

23 And the men of Israel gathered themselves together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after the Midianites.

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

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

Mark 3 in Tamil and English

1 ಆತನು ತಿರಿಗಿ ಸಭಾಮಂದಿರದಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರವೇಶಿಸಿದಾಗ ಅಲ್ಲಿ ಕೈ ಬತ್ತಿದವನಾದ ಒಬ್ಬ ಮನುಷ್ಯನಿದ್ದನು.
And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand.

2 ಅವರು ಆತನ ಮೇಲೆ ತಪ್ಪು ಹೊರಿಸಬೇಕೆಂದು ಸಬ್ಬತ್‌ ದಿನದಲ್ಲಿ ಆತನು ಅವನನ್ನು ಸ್ವಸ್ಥ ಮಾಡುವನೇನೋ ಎಂದು ಕಾಯು ತ್ತಿದ್ದರು.
And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him.

3 ಆತನು ಕೈಬತ್ತಿದ ಮನುಷ್ಯನಿಗೆ--ಎದ್ದು ನಿಂತುಕೋ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿದನು.
And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth.

4 ಆತನು ಅವರಿಗೆ --ಸಬ್ಬತ್‌ ದಿವಸಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಒಳ್ಳೇದನ್ನು ಮಾಡುವದು ನ್ಯಾಯವೋ ಇಲ್ಲವೆ ಕೆಟ್ಟದ್ದನ್ನು ಮಾಡುವದು ನ್ಯಾಯವೋ? ಪ್ರಾಣವನ್ನು ಉಳಿಸುವದೋ ಇಲ್ಲವೆ ಕೊಲ್ಲುವದೋ ಎಂದು ಕೇಳಿದನು; ಆದರೆ ಅವರು ಸುಮ್ಮನಿದ್ದರು.
And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace.

5 ಆಗ ಆತನು ಅವರ ಹೃದಯಗಳ ಕಾಠಿಣ್ಯತೆಗಾಗಿ ದುಃಖಪಟ್ಟು ಸುತ್ತಲೂ ಕೋಪದಿಂದ ಅವರನ್ನು ನೋಡಿ ಆ ಮನುಷ್ಯನಿಗೆ--ನಿನ್ನ ಕೈಚಾಚು ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿದನು. ಅವನು ಚಾಚಿದಾಗ ಅವನ ಕೈಗುಣವಾಗಿ ಮತ್ತೊಂದರ ಹಾಗಾಯಿತು.
And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other.

6 ಫರಿಸಾ ಯರು ಹೊರಟುಹೋಗಿ ಕೂಡಲೆ ತಾವು ಆತನನ್ನು ಹೇಗೆ ಕೊಲ್ಲಬೇಕೆಂದು ಆತನಿಗೆ ವಿರೋಧ ವಾಗಿ ಹೆರೋದ್ಯರೊಂದಿಗೆ ಆಲೋಚನೆ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಂಡರು.
And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.

7 ಆದರೆ ಯೇಸು ತನ್ನ ಶಿಷ್ಯರೊಂದಿಗೆ ಸಮುದ್ರದ ಕಡೆಗೆ ಹಿಂದಿರುಗಿದನು; ಆಗ ಗಲಿಲಾಯದಿಂದಲೂ ಯೂದಾಯದಿಂದಲೂ
But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea,

8 ಯೆರೂಸಲೇಮಿನಿಂದಲೂ ಇದೂಮಾಯದಿಂದಲೂ ಯೊರ್ದನಿನ ಆಚೆಯಿಂ ದಲೂ ಜನರು ದೊಡ್ಡ ಸಮೂಹವಾಗಿ ಆತನನ್ನು ಹಿಂಬಾಲಿಸಿದರು. ಆತನು ಮಾಡಿದ ಮಹತ್ಕಾರ್ಯ ಗಳನ್ನು ಕೇಳಿ ತೂರ್‌ ಸೀದೋನ್‌ ಸುತ್ತಲಿನ ಜನರು ದೊಡ್ಡ ಸಮೂಹವಾಗಿ ಆತನ ಬಳಿಗೆ ಬಂದರು.
And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came unto him.

9 ಸಮೂಹವು ತನ್ನನ್ನು ನೂಕದಂತೆ ತನಗೋಸ್ಕರ ಒಂದು ಚಿಕ್ಕ ದೋಣಿಯು ಸಿದ್ಧವಿರ ಬೇಕೆಂದು ಆತನು ತನ್ನ ಶಿಷ್ಯರಿಗೆ ಹೇಳಿದನು.
And he spake to his disciples, that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him.

10 ಯಾಕಂದರೆ ಆತನು ಅನೇಕರನ್ನು ಸ್ವಸ್ಥಮಾಡಿದ್ದರಿಂದ ರೋಗಪೀಡಿತರಾಗಿದ್ದವರೆಲ್ಲರು ಆತನನ್ನು ಮುಟ್ಟಬೇ ಕೆಂದು ಆತನ ಮೇಲೆ ಬೀಳುತ್ತಿದ್ದರು.
For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had plagues.

11 ಅಶುದ್ಧಾತ್ಮಗಳು ಆತನನ್ನು ಕಂಡಾಗ ಆತನ ಮುಂದೆ ಬಿದ್ದು--ನೀನು ದೇವಕುಮಾರನು ಎಂದು ಕೂಗಿ ಹೇಳಿದವು.
And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.

12 ಆದರೆ ಆತನು ತನ್ನನ್ನು ಯಾರಿಗೂ ತಿಳಿಯಪಡಿಸಬಾರದೆಂದು ಅವರಿಗೆ ನೇರವಾಗಿ ಆಜ್ಞಾಪಿಸಿದನು.
And he straitly charged them that they should not make him known.

13 ತರುವಾಯ ಆತನು ಬೆಟ್ಟದ ಮೇಲೆ ಹೋಗಿ ತನಗೆ ಬೇಕಾದವರನ್ನು ಕರೆಯಲು ಅವರು ಆತನ ಬಳಿಗೆ ಬಂದರು.
And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would: and they came unto him.

14 ಆತನು ಹನ್ನೆರಡು ಮಂದಿಯನ್ನು ತನ್ನೊಂದಿಗೆ ಇರುವದಕ್ಕೂ (ಸುವಾರ್ತೆ) ಸಾರುವದ ಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ತಾನು ಅವರನ್ನು ಕಳುಹಿಸುವದಕ್ಕೂ
And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,

15 ವ್ಯಾಧಿ ಗಳನ್ನು ಸ್ವಸ್ಥಮಾಡುವದಕ್ಕೂ ದೆವ್ವಗಳನ್ನು ಬಿಡಿಸು ವದಕ್ಕೂ ನೇಮಿಸಿ ಅವರಿಗೆ ಅಧಿಕಾರ ಕೊಟ್ಟನು.
And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:

16 ಆತನು ಸೀಮೋನನಿಗೆ ಪೇತ್ರನೆಂದು ಹೆಸರಿಟ್ಟನು.
And Simon he surnamed Peter;

17 ಮತ್ತು ಜೆಬೆದಾಯನ ಮಗನಾದ ಯಾಕೋಬ ನಿಗೂ ಯಾಕೋಬನ ಸಹೋದರನಾದ ಯೋಹಾನ ನಿಗೂ ಬೊವನೆರ್ಗೆಸ್‌ ಎಂದು ಹೆಸರಿಟ್ಟನು ಅಂದರೆ ಗುಡುಗಿನ ಪುತ್ರರು ಎಂದರ್ಥ.
And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder:

18 ಮತ್ತು ಅಂದ್ರೆಯ, ಫಿಲಿಪ್ಪ, ಬಾರ್ತೂಲೊಮಾಯ, ಮತ್ತಾಯ, ತೋಮ, ಅಲ್ಫಾಯನ ಮಗನಾದ ಯಾಕೋಬ, ತದ್ದಾಯ, ಕಾನಾನ್ಯನಾದ ಸೀಮೋನ,
And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Canaanite,

19 ಆತನನ್ನು ಹಿಡು ಕೊಡಲಿಕ್ಕಿದ್ದ ಯೂದ ಇಸ್ಕರಿ ಯೋತ್‌ ಎಂಬವರೇ. ಮತ್ತು ಅವರು ಒಂದು ಮನೆಯೊಳಕ್ಕೆ ಹೋದರು.
And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him: and they went into an house.

20 ಜನಸಮೂಹವು ಅಲ್ಲಿ ತಿರಿಗಿ ಕೂಡಿಬಂದದ್ದ ರಿಂದ ಅವರು ರೊಟ್ಟಿ ತಿನ್ನುವದಕ್ಕೂ ಆಗದೆ ಹೋಯಿತು.
And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.

21 ಆತನ ಸ್ನೇಹಿತರು ಇದನ್ನು ಕೇಳಿ ದಾಗ ಆತನನ್ನು ಹಿಡಿಯುವದಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಹೊರಟರು. ಯಾಕಂದರೆ ಅವರು--ಈತನಿಗೆ ಹುಚ್ಚು ಹಿಡಿದದೆ ಎಂದು ಅಂದರು.
And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself.

22 ಇದಲ್ಲದೆ ಯೆರೂಸಲೇಮಿ ನಿಂದ ಬಂದ ಶಾಸ್ತ್ರಿಗಳು--ಇವನನ್ನು ಬೆಲ್ಜೆಬೂಲನು ಹಿಡಿದಿದ್ದಾನೆ ಮತ್ತು ಇವನು ದೆವ್ವಗಳ ಅಧಿಪತಿಯಿಂದ ದೆವ್ವಗಳನ್ನು ಬಿಡಿಸುತ್ತಾನೆ ಅಂದರು.
And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils.

23 ಆತನು ಅವರನ್ನು ತನ್ನ ಹತ್ತಿರಕ್ಕೆ ಕರೆದು ಸಾಮ್ಯಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಅವರಿಗೆ--ಸೈತಾನನು ಸೈತಾನನನ್ನು ಹೊರಗೆ ಹಾಕು ವದು ಹೇಗೆ?
And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?

24 ಒಂದು ರಾಜ್ಯವು ತನ್ನಲ್ಲಿಯೇ ವಿಭಾಗಿಸಲ್ಪಟ್ಟರೆ ಆ ರಾಜ್ಯವು ನಿಲ್ಲಲಾರದು.
And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

25 ಇದ ಲ್ಲದೆ ಒಂದು ಮನೆಯು ತನ್ನಲ್ಲಿಯೇ ವಿಭಾಗಿಸಲ್ಪಟ್ಟರೆ ಆ ಮನೆಯು ನಿಲ್ಲಲಾರದು.
And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

26 ಸೈತಾನನು ತನಗೆ ತಾನೇ ವಿರೋಧವಾಗಿ ಎದ್ದು ವಿಭಾಗಿಸಲ್ಪಟ್ಟರೆ ಅವನು ನಿಲ್ಲಲಾರದೆ ಅಂತ್ಯಗೊಳ್ಳುವನು.
And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end.

27 ಇದಲ್ಲದೆ ಒಬ್ಬ ಮನುಷ್ಯನು ಮೊದಲು ಬಲಿಷ್ಠನನ್ನು ಕಟ್ಟದ ಹೊರತು ಅವನ ಮನೆಯೊಳಕ್ಕೆ ಪ್ರವೇಶಿಸಿ ಅವನ ಸೊತ್ತನ್ನು ಸುಲುಕೊಳ್ಳಲಾರನು; ಕಟ್ಟಿದ ಮೇಲೆ ಅವನ ಮನೆಯನ್ನು ಸುಲುಕೊಳ್ಳುವನು ಅಂದನು.
No man can enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.

28 ನಾನು ನಿಮಗೆ ನಿಜವಾಗಿ ಹೇಳುತ್ತೇನೆ--ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಪಾಪಗಳೂ ದೇವದೂಷಣೆಗಳೂ ಮನುಷ್ಯ ಪುತ್ರರಿಗೆ ಕ್ಷಮಿಸಲ್ಪ ಡುವವು;
Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:

29 ಆದರೆ ಯಾವನು ಪವಿತ್ರಾತ್ಮನಿಗೆ ವಿರೋಧವಾಗಿ ದೂಷಣೆ ಮಾಡುವನೋ ಅವನಿಗೆ ಎಂದಿಗೂ ಕ್ಷಮಾಪಣೆ ಇಲ್ಲ; ಆದರೆ ಅವನು ನಿತ್ಯವಾದ ದಂಡನೆಯ ಅಪಾಯಕ್ಕೆ ಒಳಗಾಗುವನು ಅಂದನು.
But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:

30 ಯಾಕಂದರೆ ಅವರು--ಇವನಿಗೆ ಅಶುದ್ಧಾತ್ಮವಿದೆ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿದರು.
Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.

31 ತರುವಾಯ ಆತನ ಸಹೋದರರೂ ತಾಯಿಯೂ ಅಲ್ಲಿಗೆ ಬಂದು ಹೊರಗೆ ನಿಂತುಕೊಂಡು ಆತನನ್ನು ಕರೇಕಳುಹಿಸಿದರು.
There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him.

32 ಜನಸಮೂಹವು ಆತನ ಸುತ್ತಲೂ ಕೂತುಕೊಂಡು ಆತನಿಗೆ--ಇಗೋ, ಹೊರಗೆ ನಿನ್ನ ತಾಯಿಯೂ ನಿನ್ನ ಸಹೋದರರೂ ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ಹುಡುಕುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾರೆ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿದರು.
And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.

33 ಆತನು ಪ್ರತ್ಯುತ್ತರವಾಗಿ ಅವರಿಗೆ--ನನ್ನ ತಾಯಿ ಇಲ್ಲವೆ ನನ್ನ ಸಹೋದರರು ಯಾರು ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿ
And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren?

34 ತನ್ನ ಸುತ್ತಲೂ ಕೂತಿದ್ದವರನ್ನು ನೋಡಿ--ಇಗೋ, ನನ್ನ ತಾಯಿ ಮತ್ತು ನನ್ನ ಸಹೋದರರು!
And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!

35 ಯಾಕಂದರೆ ಯಾವನು ದೇವರ ಚಿತ್ತದಂತೆ ಮಾಡುವನೋ ಅವನೇ ನನ್ನ ಸಹೋದರನೂ ನನ್ನ ಸಹೋದರಿಯೂ ನನ್ನ ತಾಯಿಯೂ ಆಗಿದ್ದಾರೆ ಅಂದನು.
For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.
