耶和华之使者向基甸显现

11 耶和华的使者到了俄弗拉,坐在亚比以谢族人约阿施的橡树下。约阿施的儿子基甸正在酒榨那里打麦子,为要防备米甸人。 12 耶和华的使者向基甸显现,对他说:“大能的勇士啊,耶和华与你同在!” 13 基甸说:“主啊!耶和华若与我们同在,我们何至遭遇这一切事呢?我们的列祖不是向我们说,耶和华领我们从埃及上来吗?他那样奇妙的作为在哪里呢?现在他却丢弃我们,将我们交在米甸人手里。” 14 耶和华观看基甸,说:“你靠着你这能力,去从米甸人手里拯救以色列人。不是我差遣你去的吗?” 15 基甸说:“主啊,我有何能拯救以色列人呢?我家在玛拿西支派中是至贫穷的,我在我父家是至微小的。” 16 耶和华对他说:“我与你同在,你就必击打米甸人,如击打一人一样。”

11 The angel of the Lord(A) came and sat down under the oak in Ophrah(B) that belonged to Joash(C) the Abiezrite,(D) where his son Gideon(E) was threshing(F) wheat in a winepress(G) to keep it from the Midianites. 12 When the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon, he said, “The Lord is with you,(H) mighty warrior.(I)

13 “Pardon me, my lord,” Gideon replied, “but if the Lord is with us, why has all this happened to us? Where are all his wonders(J) that our ancestors told(K) us about when they said, ‘Did not the Lord bring us up out of Egypt?’ But now the Lord has abandoned(L) us and given us into the hand of Midian.”

14 The Lord turned to him and said, “Go in the strength you have(M) and save(N) Israel out of Midian’s hand. Am I not sending you?”

15 “Pardon me, my lord,” Gideon replied, “but how can I save Israel? My clan(O) is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family.(P)

16 The Lord answered, “I will be with you(Q), and you will strike down all the Midianites, leaving none alive.”

11 And there came an angel of the Lord, and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites.

12 And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him, and said unto him, The Lord is with thee, thou mighty man of valour.

13 And Gideon said unto him, Oh my Lord, if the Lord be with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt? but now the Lord hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.

14 And the Lord looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee?

15 And he said unto him, Oh my Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house.

16 And the Lord said unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man.
