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.

Verse 13 is found in chapter 6 of Judges. The angel of the Lord finds Gideon threshing wheat in a winepress to hide it from the Midianites. He calls him a "mighty warrior," although Gideon considers his family weak and himself the least important member. The conversation develops the contrast between human perceptions of weakness and the mission God entrusts to him. Gideon asks for a sign before fully accepting the task.

Gideon aber sprach zu ihm: Mein Herr, ist der HERR mit uns, warum ist uns denn solches alles widerfahren? Und wo sind alle die Wunder, die uns unsre Väter erzählten und sprachen: Der HERR hat uns aus Ägypten geführt? Nun aber hat uns der HERR verlassen und unter der Midianiter Hände gegeben.
Y Gedeón le respondió: Ah, Señor mío, si Jehová es con nosotros, ¿por qué nos ha sobrevenido todo esto? ¿Y dónde están todas sus maravillas, que nuestros padres nos han contado, diciendo: ¿No nos sacó Jehová de Egipto? Y ahora Jehová nos ha desamparado, y nos ha entregado en manos de los Madianitas.
Gedeón le respondió: «Por favor, señor mío, si Jehová está con nosotros, ¿por qué nos ha sucedido todo esto? ¿Dónde están todas sus maravillas, que nuestros antepasados nos contaron al decir: “¿No nos hizo subir Jehová de Egipto?”? Ahora Jehová nos ha abandonado y nos ha entregado en manos de Madián».
Gédéon lui dit: Ah! mon seigneur, si l'Eternel est avec nous, pourquoi toutes ces choses nous sont-elles arrivées? Et où sont tous ces prodiges que nos pères nous racontent, quand ils disent: L'Eternel ne nous a-t-il pas fait monter hors d'Egypte? Maintenant l'Eternel nous abandonne, et il nous livre entre les mains de Madian!
E Gedeone gli disse: Ahi! Signor mio; come è possibile che il Signore sia con noi? perchè dunque ci sarebbero avvenute tutte queste cose? E dove son tutte le sue maraviglie, le quali i nostri padri ci hanno raccontate, dicendo: Il Signore non ci ha egli tratti fuor di Egitto? ma ora il Signore ci ha abbandonati, e ci ha dati nelle mani de’ Madianiti.
Mas Gideão lhe respondeu: Ai, Senhor meu, se o SENHOR é conosco, por que tudo isto nos sobreveio? E que é feito de todas as suas maravilhas que nossos pais nos contaram, dizendo: Não nos fez o SENHOR subir do Egito? Porém agora o SENHOR nos desamparou, e nos deu nas mãos dos midianitas.
基甸 對他說:「主啊,請容許我說,耶和華若與我們同在,我們怎麼會遭遇這一切事呢?我們的列祖告訴我們:『耶和華領我們從 埃及 上來』,他那奇妙的作為在哪裏呢?現在耶和華卻丟棄了我們,把我們交在 米甸 人的手掌中。」
