И$ ѓ^бђтрњ` ровоа'ль. с^е е^сть гедеѓ'нъ. и^ вс^и люди и^же с ниM, въполчи'шася ё^ и^сто'чника а^реD. полкъ же мадїа'мль и^ а^мали'ков# бња'ше е^мђ с сњ'вера на хо'лмњ мо'се гава'џовњ, а^м#мор#реѓ^вы в# доли'не”

¹

And Jerobaal rose early, the same is Gedeon, and all the people with him, and encamped at the fountain of Arad; and the camp of Madiam was to the north of him, reaching from Gabaathamorai, in the valley.

²

И$ рече г~ь къ гедеѓ%нђ. мно'ѕи людїе и^же с тобо'ю. сего ра'ди не предаM мадїа'ма в рђкђ иX. да не когда` похва'лится і^и^л~ь на' мя гл~я, рђка моа сп~се мя”

²

And the Lord said to Gedeon, The people with thee are many, so that I may not deliver Madiam into their hand, lest at any time Israel boast against me, saying, My hand has saved me.

³

И$ нн~њ гл~и ё^бо въ ё^ши люде'мъ рекыи. кт^о боја^зливъ, и^ ё^жастиv да ѓ^братиTся. и^ заё%тра и^ди` эT горы` галаа'довы. и^ ѓ^брати'шася эT людїи. Wк~в, а^ і~ тисяu ѓ^ста`”

³

And now speak in the ears of the people, saying, Who is afraid and fearful? let him turn and depart from mount Galaad: and there returned of the people twenty-two thousand, and ten thousand were left.

⁴

И$ реq г~ь къ гедеѓ^нђ, е^ще` людїе мно'ѕи сђть съведи я& на' водђ да тїя& и^скђшђ` т^ђ. и^ да бђ'деT е^гоже а^ще нарекђ` тебњ`. се'й да и^деT с тобо'ю. а^ е^гоже а^ще не нарекђ` да не и%детъ с тобо'ю”

⁴

And the Lord said to Gedeon, The people is yet numerous; bring them down to the water, and I will purge them there for thee: and it shall come to pass that of whomsoever I shall say to thee, This one shall go with thee, even he shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I shall say to thee, This one shall not go with thee, even he shall not go with thee.

⁵

И$ сведе` люди` на' воводђ” И$ рече г~ь къ гедеѓ'нђ вс^я и^же ло'четъ ја^зы'комъ свои^мъ эT воды`, ја^коже ло'четъ пе'съ. да поста'виши и& ѓ^ е^ді'нђ. и^ весь и^же на колњ'нђ падеT и^ пїе^т# во'дђ эTлђчи и& ѓ^ е^ді'нђ

⁵

And he brought the people down to the water; and the Lord said to Gedeon, Whosoever shall lap of the water with his tongue as if a dog should lap, thou shalt set him apart, and also whosoever shall bow down upon his knees to drink.

⁶

И$ быs число` в го'рстехъ лока'вшиX ја^зы'коM. т~ мђж'ь, и^ вс^и же ѓ^ста'вшїи лю'дїе преклони'шася на колњ'нђ и^хъ пи'ти во'дђ”

⁶

And the number of those that lapped with their hand to their mouth was three hundred men; and all the rest of the people bowed upon their knees to drink water.

⁷

И$ рече г~ь къ гедеѓ%нђ, тре'ми ст^ы мђж'ь лока'вшими во'дђ сп~сђ в^ы, и^ предаM мадїа'ма в рђ'кђ твою. и^ вс^и лю'дїе да и^дTђ на мњ'ста своя`”

⁷

And the Lord said to Gedeon, I will save you by the three hundred men that lapped, and I will give Madiam into thy hand; and all the rest of the people shall go every one to his place.

⁸

И$ взя'ша себњ бра'шно эT людїи в рђкђ свое^ю. ро'гы своя` в#сего же і^и^л~я эTпђсти` въ хра'мы своя`. а^ т~, мQђ ё^дръжа. по'лкъ же мадїа'мль бњше ни'же е^го` в доли'не.

⁸

And they took the provision of the people in their hand, and their horns; and he sent away every man of Israel each to his tent, and he strengthened the three hundred; and the army of Madiam were beneath him in the valley.

⁹

бы'сть в т^ђ ноu. рече к немђ` г~ь. въста'въ и^ сниди` эTсђ'дњ ско'ро, в# пол#къ ја%ко предаX и^хъ в рђ'кђ твою”

⁹

And it came to pass in that night that the Lord said to him, Arise, go down into the camp, for I have delivered it into thy hand.

¹⁰

А/ще ли ся т^ы бои'ши сни'ти. т^о сниди` т^ы и^ џа'ра ра'бъ твои въ по'лкъ”

¹⁰

And if thou art afraid to go down, go down thou and thy servant Phara into the camp.

¹¹

И$ послђ'шаи да чт^о възгл~ютъ, и посе'мъ ё^крњпњюT рђцњ твои` и^ сни'деши в# полкъ, и^ сни'де са'мъ, и^ џа'ра ра'бъ е^го в ча'сть. н~, тниковъ в# по'лкъ”

¹¹

And thou shalt hear what they shall say, and afterwards thy hands shall be strong, and thou shalt go down into the camp: and he went down and Phara his servant to the extremity of the companies of fifty, which were in the camp.

¹²

Мадїа'м же и^ а^мали'къ и^ вс^и сн~ове, въсто'къ стоа'хђ в поли'нњ. ја%ко прђѕи мно'жествомъ. и^ вельблю'домъ иX не бња'ше чи'сла. н^о бња'хђ ја%ко пњсоk на кра'и мо'рстњмъ мно'жествомъ”

¹²

And Madiam and Amalec and all the children of the east were scattered in the valley, as the locust for multitude; and there was no number to their camels, but they were as the sand on the seashore for multitude.

¹³

И$ вни'де та'мо гедеѓ'нъ. и^ с^е е^ді'нъ повњ'даше соn по'дрђгђ свое^мђ. и^ рече се'й со'нъ е^гоже ви'дњхъ. и^ с^е тњ'сто хлњ'ба ја%чна, валяја%ся въ полкъ мадїа'мль. и^ привали'ся въ кђщи мадїа^мъ. и^ побї ю&, и^ превратї ю&. и^ паде'ся кђща”

¹³

And Gedeon came, and behold a man was relating to his neighbour a dream, and he said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream, and behold, a cake of barley bread rolling into the camp of Madiam, and it came as far as a tent, and smote it, and it fell, and it turned it up, and the tent fell.

¹⁴

И$ эTвњща по'дрђгъ е^го и^ рече. нњ'сть т^отњ'сто н^о ко'пїе гедеѓ'ново, сн~а и^ѓ'сова мђж'а і^и^л~ева. преда'стъ г~ь в рђкђ е^го мадїа'ма, и^ ве'сь по'лкъ”

¹⁴

And his neighbour answered and said, This is none other than the sword of Gedeon, son of Joas, a man of Israel: God has delivered Madiam and all the host into his hand.

¹⁵

И$ бы'сть ја%ко ё^слы'ша гедеѓ%нъ повњ'данїе сна` и^ разсђже'нїе е^го. поклони'ся гв~и и^ ѓ^брати'ся въ по'лкъ і^и^л~евъ. и^ рече въста'нњте ја%ко предаs г~ь в рђцњ на'ши пол#къ мадїа'мль.

¹⁵

And it came to pass when Gedeon heard the account of the dream and the interpretation of it, that he worshipped the Lord, and returned to the camp of Israel, and said, Rise, for the Lord has delivered the camp of Madiam into our hand.

¹⁶

И$ раздњли`, т~, мђж'ь на тр^и нача'ткы. и^ вда'сть ро'гы в рђцњ всњмъ. и^ водоно'сы скђде'лны т#щи`, и^ свњща средњ водоно'совъ”

¹⁶

And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and put horns in the hands of all, and empty pitchers, and torches in the pitchers:

¹⁷

И рече и^мъ мене смотри'те ја^ко аZ творю`, та'коже и^ вы' сътвори'те, е^гда а%зъ внїидђ въ ча'сть по'лка. и^ да бђ'детъ ја%коже а%ще сътворю`, та'коже да сътвори'те”

¹⁷

and he said to them, Ye shall look at me, and so shall ye do; and behold, I will go into the beginning of the host, and it shall come to pass that as I do, so shall ye do.

¹⁸

И$ е^гда` а%зъ въстрђблю ро'гом#, и^ вс^и и^же со мно'ю да въстрђбите и^ в^ы в ро'гы ѓ%крsтъ по'лка. и^ да речете` ко'пїе б~ђ и^ гедеѓ%нђ”

¹⁸

And I will sound with the horn, and all ye with me shall sound with the horn round about the whole camp, and ye shall say, For the Lord and Gedeon.

¹⁹

И$ вни'де гедеѓ%нъ, и^ р~, мђжъ и^же с ниM. в# ча'сть по'лка въ нача'стїе стра'жи сре'днее, и^ ё^бђже'нїемъ въста'виша стрежа'щихъ, и^ въстрђ'биша ро'гы, и^ съкрђшиша водоно'сы и^же в рђкахъ и^хъ.

¹⁹

And Gedeon and the hundred men that were with him came to the extremity of the army in the beginning of the middle watch; and they completely roused the guards, and sounded with the horns, and they broke the pitchers that were in their hands,

²⁰

и^ вострђби'ша въ три начаTки в ро'ги сокрђша'юще водоно'сы, и^ възя'ша в лњ'вђю рђкђ свњщи, и^ въ десне'и рђцњ и^хъ ро'гы в няже трђби'ша. и^ възопи'ша ко'пїе гв~и и^ гедеѓ%нђ”

²⁰

and the three companies sounded with the horns, and broke the pitchers, and held the torches in their left hands, and in their right hands their horns to sound with; and they cried out, A sword for the Lord and for Gedeon.

²¹

И$ ста'ша кои^ждо ѓ^ себњ ѓ%крестъ по'лка. и^ смяте'ся ве'сь полкъ и^ ё^жасо'шася и^ побњго'ша”

²¹

And every man stood in his place round about the host; and all the host ran, and sounded an alarm, and fled.

²²

Сїи же трђби'ша, въ, т~, роh. и^ положи` г~ь на' ня ме'чь ко'ждо по'дрђгъ свое^го въ все'мъ по'лъцњ, и^ пробњж'е полкъ до виџасе'пы. и^ даже до а^вельмаё^ла и^ к тави'џђ”

²²

And they sounded with the three hundred horns; and the Lord set every man's sword in all the host against his neighbour.

²³

И$ созва'шася мђжи і^и^л~ьстїи эT неџали'ма, и^ эT а^си'ра, и^ эT всего` мана'сїя. и^ погна'ша въ слDњ мадїа'ма”

²³

And the host fled as far as Bethseed Tagaragatha Abel-meula to Tabath; and the men of Israel from Nephthali, and from Aser, and from all Manasse, came to help, and followed after Madiam.

²⁴

И$ посла` послы` гедеѓn въ ве'сь предњлъ е^фрњмль гл~я, сни'дњте въ срњте'нїе мадїа'мђ. и^ варите иM во'дђ до веџи'ра і^е^рда'на” И$ созва'шася вс^и мђ'жїе е^фрњмовы, и^ преDэTня'ли во'дђ, до веџи'ри, і^е^рда'на.

²⁴

And Gedeon sent messengers into all mount Ephraim, saying, Come down to meet Madiam, and take to yourselves the water as far as Bæthera and Jordan: and every man of Ephraim cried out, and they took the water before hand unto Bæthera and Jordan.

²⁵

и я^ша, в~, кня'ѕя мадїа'мля. ѓ^ривђ, и^ зи'вђ, и^ ё^би'ша ѓ^рива в# сђрњ, а^ зивђ ё^би'ша въ е^кевњ. и^ погна'ша мадїа'ма. и^ главђ` ѓ^ри'вовђ, и^ зи'вовђ. принесо'ша къ гедеѓ%нђ эT ѓ^но'я страны` і^е^рда'на”

²⁵

And they took the princes of Madiam, even Oreb and Zeb; and they slew Oreb in Sur Oreb, and they slew Zeb in Jakephzeph; and they pursued Madiam, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeb to Gedeon from beyond Jordan.
