And the men of [the tribe of] Ephraim said to Gideon, “What is this thing that you have done to us, not calling us when you went to fight with Midian?” And they quarreled with him vehemently.
And the men of Ephraim said unto him, Why hast thou served us thus, that thou calledst us not, when thou wentest to fight with the Midianites? And they did chide with him sharply.
Then the Ephraimites said to Gideon, “Why did you leave us out of this, not calling us when you went to fight Midian?” They were indignant and let him know it. 2-3 But Gideon replied, “What have I done compared to you? Why, even the gleanings of Ephraim are superior to the vintage of Abiezer. God gave you Midian’s commanders, Oreb and Zeeb. What have I done compared with you?”When they heard this, they calmed down and cooled off. 4-5 Gideon and his three hundred arrived at the Jordan and crossed over. They were bone-tired but still pressing the pursuit. He asked the men of Succoth, “Please, give me some loaves of bread for my troops I have with me. They’re worn out, and I’m hot on the trail of Zebah and Zalmunna, the Midianite kings.”
Then the men of Ephraim said to him, “What is this thing you have done to us, not calling us when you went to fight against Midian?” And they contended with him vigorously.
The men of Ephraim asked Gideon, “Why have you treated us like this? Why didn’t you ask us to help you when you went out to fight against Midian?” In anger they challenged Gideon.
Now the Ephraimites asked Gideon, “Why have you treated us like this? Why didn’t you call us when you went to fight Midian?” And they challenged him vigorously.
Now the Ephraimites asked Gideon, ‘Why have you treated us like this? Why didn’t you call us when you went to fight Midian?’ And they challenged him vigorously.
Then the people of Ephraim asked Gideon, “Why have you treated us this way? Why didn’t you send for us when you first went out to fight the Midianites?” And they argued heatedly with Gideon.

De leiders van de stam Efraïm waren echter woedend op Gideon: ‘Wat is dat voor een manier van doen?’ zeiden ze boos. ‘Waarom hebt u ons niet geroepen toen u tegen de Midjanieten ging vechten?’ Zij maakten hem hevige verwijten. 2,3 Maar Gideon antwoordde: ‘God heeft u toch de koningen Oreb en Zeëb van Midjan gevangen laten nemen? Vergeleken daarmee heb ik praktisch niets gedaan. Wat u deed aan het einde van de strijd is veel belangrijker dan wat wij aan het begin hebben gedaan.’ Toen kalmeerden zij.

Os efraimitas perguntaram, então, a Gideão: “Por que você nos tratou dessa forma? Por que não nos chamou quando foi lutar contra Midiã?” E o criticaram duramente.
Os chefes tribais de Efraim ficaram muito contrariados e perguntaram a Gedeão. “Porque não nos mandaste chamar quando foste lutar contra os midianitas?” 2-3 Gedeão respondeu-lhes: “Deus permitiu que fossem vocês a capturar Orebe e Zeebe, os generais do exército midianita. Que fizemos nós em comparação? As vossas ações na parte final do combate foram muito mais importantes do que as nossas no princípio!” E assim eles se acalmaram.
