Sudcov 11
1 Jefte pak Galádský byl muž udatný a byl syn ženy nevěstky, z níž zplodil Galád řečeného Jefte.
[There was a man] from [the] Gilead [region] named Jephthah. He was a great warrior. His father was also named Gilead. But his mother was a prostitute.
2 Ale i manželka Galádova naplodila mu synů, a když dorostli synové manželky té, vyhnali Jefte. Nebo řekli jemu: Nebudeš děditi v domě otce našeho, nebo jsi postranní ženy syn.
Gilead’s wife gave birth to several sons. When they grew up, they forced Jephthah to leave home, saying to him, “You are the son of a prostitute, [not the son of our mother]. So [when] our father [dies], you will not receive any of his property.”
3 Protož utekl Jefte od tváři bratří svých, a bydlil v zemi Tob; a sběhli se k Jefte lidé povaleči, a vycházeli s ním.
So Jephthah ran away from his brothers, and he went to the Tob region. While he was there, some worthless men started to spend a lot of time with him.
4 Stalo se pak po těch dnech, že bojovali Ammonitští proti Izraelským.
Some time later, the Ammon people-group started to fight against the Israelis.
5 A když počali bojovati Ammonitští proti nim, odešli starší Galádští, aby zase přivedli Jefte z země Tob.
When that happened [DOU], the leaders of [the] Gilead [region] went to Jephthah to bring him back from the Tob region [to their area].
6 I řekli k Jefte: Poď a buď vůdce náš, abychom bojovali proti Ammonitským.
They said to him, “Come [with us] and lead our army, and [help us to] fight against the men from the Ammon people-group!”
7 Odpověděl Jefte starším Galádským: Zdaliž jste vy mne neměli v nenávisti, a nevyhnali jste mne z domu otce mého? Pročež tedy nyní přišli jste ke mně, když ssouženi jste?
But Jephthah replied, “You hated me [RHQ] previously! You forced me to leave my father’s house! So why are you coming to me now, [asking me to help you] when you are experiencing trouble?”
8 I řekli starší Galádští k Jefte: Proto jsme se nyní navrátili k tobě, abys šel s námi a bojoval proti Ammonitským, a byl nám všechněm obyvatelům Galádským za vůdce.
The leaders from Gilead replied, “[Yes, we are having trouble, and] that is the reason that we have come to you now. If you come with us and [help us to] fight against the Ammon people-group, [after we defeat them, we will appoint] you to be the leader of all us people in [the] Gilead [region].”
9 Tedy odpověděl Jefte starším Galádským: Poněvadž mne zase uvodíte, abych bojoval proti Ammonitským, když by mi je dal Hospodin v moc, budu-li vám za vůdce?
Jephthah replied, “If I go back to Gilead with you to fight against the Ammon people-group, and if Yahweh helps us to defeat them, will you truly appoint me to be your leader?”
10 I řekli starší Galádští k Jefte: Hospodin bude svědkem mezi námi, jestliže neučiníme vedlé slova tvého.
They replied, “Yahweh is listening to everything that we say. [So he will punish us] if we do not do everything that you tell us to do.”
11 A tak šel Jefte s staršími Galádskými, a představil jej sobě lid za vůdci a kníže, a mluvil Jefte všecka slova svá před Hospodinem v Masfa.
So Jephthah went with them back to [the] Gilead [region], and the people appointed him to be their leader and the commander of their army. And Jephthah solemnly promised to Yahweh there at Mizpah [to serve him well].
12 Potom poslal Jefte posly k králi Ammonitskému s tímto poručením: Co máš ke mně, že jsi vytáhl na mne, abys bojoval proti zemi mé?
Jephthah sent some messengers to the king of the Ammon people-group. They asked the king, “What have we [done to make you angry, with the result] that your army is coming to fight [against the people] in our land?”
13 I odpověděl král Ammonitský poslům Jefte: Že vzal Izrael zemi mou, když vyšel z Egypta, od Arnon až k Jaboku a až k Jordánu; protož nyní vrať mi ji pokojně.
The king replied, “[We have come to fight against you Israelis because] you took our land when you came here from Egypt. You took all our land east of the Jordan [River], from the Arnon [River in the south] to the Jabbok [River in the north]. So if you now give it back to us, there (will be peace between us/we will not fight against you).”
14 Opět pak poslal Jefte posly k králi Ammonitskému,
[The messengers returned to Jephthah and told him what the king had said]. So Jephthah sent the messengers to the king again.
15 A řekl jemu: Takto praví Jefte: Nevzalť Izrael země Moábské, ani země synů Ammonových.
They said to him, “This is what Jephthah says: ‘It is not [true] that we Israelis took the land from the Moab people-group and the Ammon people-group.
16 Ale když vyšli z Egypta, šel Izrael přes poušť až k moři Rudému, a přišel do Kádes.
When the Israeli people came out of Egypt, they walked through the desert to the Red Sea, and then [walked across it and traveled to Kadesh town at the border of the Edom region].
17 Odkudž poslal Izrael posly k králi Edomskému, řka: Prosím, nechť projdu skrze zemi tvou. A nechtěl ho slyšeti král Edomský. Poslal také k králi Moábskému, a nechtěl povoliti. A tak zůstal Izrael v Kádes.
They sent messengers to the king of the Edom people-group, to say to him, “Please allow us Israelis to walk across your land.” But the king of the Edom people-group refused. Later we sent the same message to the king of the Moab people-group, but he also refused to allow the Israelis to go through his land. So the Israelis stayed at Kadesh [for a long time].
18 Potom když šel přes poušť, obcházel zemi Edomskou a zemi Moábskou, a přišed od východu slunce zemi Moábské, položil se před Arnon, a nevešli na pomezí Moábské; nebo Arnon jest meze Moábských.
Then the Israelis went into the desert and walked outside the borders of the Edom and Moab regions. They walked east of the Moab region, east of the Arnon [River, which is the eastern border of the Moab region]. They did not cross that river to enter [the] Moab [region].
19 Protož poslal Izrael posly k Seonovi králi Amorejskému, to jest, k králi Ezebon, a řekl jemu Izrael: Prosím, nechť projdu skrze zemi tvou až k místu svému.
‘Then the Israelis sent a message to Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, who lived in Heshbon [city]. They asked him, “Will you please allow us Israeli people to cross through your land to arrive at the land to which we [are going].”
20 Ale Seon nedověřoval Izraelovi, aby přejíti měl pomezí jeho. Protož shromáždil Seon všecken lid svůj, a položili se v Jasa, a bojoval proti Izraelovi.
But Sihon did not trust the Israelis; [he thought that they would steal some of the things in his land]. So he gathered all his troops and they set up their tents at Jahaz [village] and then they attacked the Israelis.
21 I dal Hospodin Bůh Izraelský Seona i všecken lid jeho v ruku Izraelských, a porazili je. I opanoval dědičně Izrael všecku zemi Amorejského, té země obyvatele.
But Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], enabled the Israeli army to defeat [IDM] Sihon and his army. Then they (took possession of/started to live in) all the land where the Amor people-group had lived.
22 A tak opanovali všecko pomezí Amorejského od Arnon až k Jaboku a od pouště až k Jordánu.
The Israelis took all the land that belonged to the Amor people-group, from the Arnon [River in the south] to the Jabbok [River in the north], and from the desert [in the east] to the Jordan [River in the west].
23 Když tedy Hospodin Bůh Izraelský vyhladil Amorejského od tváři lidu svého Izraelského, proč ty chceš panovati nad ním?
‘It was Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], who forced the Amor people-group to leave as the Israelis advanced. So do you now think that you can force the Israelis to leave [RHQ]?
24 Zdaliž tím, což tobě dal Chámos bůh tvůj k vládařství, vládnouti nemáš? Takž, kterékoli vyhladil Hospodin Bůh náš od tváři naší, jejich dědictvím my vládneme.
You take the land that your god Chemosh has given to you. And we will live in the land that Yahweh our God has given to us!
25 K tomu pak, zdali jsi ty čím lepší Baláka syna Seforova, krále Moábského? Zdali se kdy vadil s Izraelem? Zdali kdy bojoval proti nim?
(You are no/Are you) better than Zippor’s son Balak, who was the king of the Moab people-group? He never [RHQ] quarreled with the Israeli people, and he never started to fight against us [RHQ]!
26 Ješto již bydlí Izrael v Ezebon a ve vsech jeho, i v Aroer, a ve vsech jeho, i ve všech městech, kteráž jsou při pomezí Arnon, za tři sta let. Proč jste jí neodjali v tak dlouhém času?
For 300 years the Israeli people have lived in Heshbon and Aroer [cities in your region], and in the surrounding towns, and in all the cities along the Arnon [River]. Why have you people of the Ammon people-group not taken back those cities during all those years [RHQ]?
27 Protož ne já provinil jsem proti tobě, ale ty mně zle činíš, bojuje proti mně. Nechť soudí Hospodin soudce dnes mezi syny Izraelskými a mezi syny Ammonovými.
We have not sinned against you, but you are sinning against me by attacking me [and my army]. I trust that Yahweh, the great judge, will decide whether we Israelis are right, or whether you people of the Ammon people-group are right.’”
28 Král pak Ammonitský neuposlechl slov Jefte, kteráž vzkázal jemu.
But the king of the Ammon people-group did not pay attention to that message from Jephthah.
29 V tom nadšen byl Jefte duchem Hospodinovým, i táhl skrze Galád a Manasse, prošel i Masfa v Galád, a z Masfy v Galád táhl proti Ammonitským.
Then the Spirit of Yahweh took control of Jephthah. Jephthah went through [the] Gilead [region] and through the area where the tribe of Manasseh lived, [to enlist/gather men for his army]. [He finally gathered them together] in Mizpah [city] in [the] Gilead [region] to fight against the Ammon people-group.
30 (Učinil pak Jefte slib Hospodinu, a řekl: Jestliže jistotně dáš mi Ammonitské v ruku mou:
There Jephthah made a solemn promise to Yahweh. He said, “If you will enable my army to defeat [IDM] the Ammon people-group,
31 I stane se, že což by koli vyšlo ze dveří domu mého mně vstříc, když se vrátím v pokoji od Ammonitských, bude Hospodinovo, abych to obětoval v obět zápalnou.)
when I return from the battle, I will sacrifice to you the first person who comes out of my house [to greet me]. It will be a sacrifice that will be completely burned [on the altar].”
32 Přitáhl tedy Jefte na Ammonitské, aby bojoval proti nim, a dal je Hospodin v ruku jeho.
Then Jephthah [and his men] went from Mizpah to attack the Ammon people-group, and Yahweh enabled his army to defeat them.
33 I pobil je od Aroer, až kudy se jde do Mennit, dvadceti měst, a až do Abel vinic porážkou velikou velmi; a sníženi jsou Ammonitští před syny Izraelskými.
Jephthah and his men killed them, from Aroer [city] all the way to the area around the city of Minnith. They destroyed 20 cities, as far as [the city of] Abel Keramim. So the Israelis [completely] defeated the Ammon people-group.
34 Když se pak navracoval Jefte do Masfa k domu svému, aj, dcera jeho vyšla jemu vstříc s bubny a s houfem plésajících; kterouž měl toliko jedinou, aniž měl kterého syna aneb jiné dcery.
When Jephthah returned to his home in Mizpah, his daughter was the first one to come out of the house to meet him. She was [joyfully] playing a tambourine and dancing. She was his only child; he had no sons and no other daughters.
35 Stalo se pak, že když uzřel ji, roztrhl roucha svá a řekl: Ach, dcero má, velices mne ponížila; nebo jsi z těch, jenž mne kormoutí, poněvadž jsem tak řekl Hospodinu, aniž budu moci odvolati toho.
When Jephthah saw his daughter, he tore his clothes [to show that he was very sad about what he was going to do]. He said to her, “My daughter, you have caused me to become very sad [DOU] because I made a solemn promise to Yahweh [to sacrifice the first one who came out of my house], and I must do what I promised.”
36 Jemuž ona odpověděla: Můj otče, jestliže jsi tak řekl Hospodinu, učiň mi podlé toho, jakžs mluvil; kdyžť jen dal Hospodin pomstu nad nepřátely tvými, Ammonitskými.
His daughter said, “My father, you made a solemn promise to Yahweh. So you must do to me what you promised, because [you said that you would do that if] Yahweh helped you to defeat our enemies, the Ammon people-group.”
37 Řekla také otci svému: Nechť toliko toto obdržím: Odpusť mne na dva měsíce, ať jdu a vejdu na hory a opláči panenství svého, já i družičky mé.
Then she also said, “But allow me to do one thing. (First/before you do what you promised), allow me to go up into the hilly area and wander around for two months. Since I will never be married [and have children], allow me and my friends to go and cry together.”
38 Kterýž řekl: Jdi. I propustil ji na dva měsíce. Odešla tedy ona i družičky její, a plakala panenství svého na horách.
Jephthah replied, “All right, you may go.” So she left for two months. She and her friends stayed in the hills and they cried for her because she would never be married.
39 A při dokonání dvou měsíců navrátila se k otci svému, a vykonal při ní slib svůj, kterýž byl učinil. Ona pak nepoznala muže. I byl ten obyčej v Izraeli,
After two months, she returned to her father Jephthah, and he did to her what he had vowed. So his daughter never was married. Because of that, the Israelis now have a custom.
40 Že každého roku scházívaly se dcery Izraelské, aby plakaly nad dcerou Jefte Galádského za čtyři dni v roce.
Every year the young Israeli women go [into the hills] for four days to remember [and cry about what happened to] the daughter of Jephthah.
