Sudcov 2
1 Vstoupil pak anděl Hospodinův z Galgala do Bochim a řekl: Vyvedl jsem vás z Egypta a uvedl jsem vás do země, kterouž jsem s přísahou zaslíbil otcům vašim, a řekl jsem: Nezruším smlouvy své s vámi na věky.
And an Angel of the Lord went up from Gilgal to the Place of Weeping, and he said: “I led you away from Egypt, and I led you into the land, about which I swore to your fathers. And I promised that I would not nullify my covenant with you, even forever:
2 Vy také nečiňte smlouvy s obyvateli země této, oltáře jejich rozkopejte; ale neposlechli jste hlasu mého. Co jste to učinili?
but only if you would not form a pact with the inhabitants of this land. Instead, you should overturn their altars. Yet you were not willing to listen to my voice. Why have you done this?
3 Pročež také jsem řekl: Nevyhladím jich před tváří vaší, ale budou vám jako trní, a bohové jejich budou vám osídlem.
For this reason, I am not willing to destroy them before your face, so that you may have enemies, and so that their gods may be your ruin.”
4 I stalo se, když mluvil anděl Hospodinův slova tato všechněm synům Izraelským, že pozdvihl hlasu svého lid a plakal.
And when the Angel of the Lord spoke these words to all the sons of Israel, they lifted up their voice, and they wept.
5 I nazvali jméno místa toho Bochim, a obětovali tu Hospodinu.
And the name of that place was called, the Place of Weeping, or the Place of Tears. And they immolated victims to the Lord in that place.
6 Rozpustil pak byl Jozue lid, a rozešli se synové Izraelští, jeden každý do dědictví svého, aby vládli zemí.
Then Joshua dismissed the people, and the sons of Israel went away, each one to his own possession, so that they might obtain it.
7 I sloužil lid Hospodinu po všecky dny Jozue, a po všecky dny starších, kteříž dlouho živi byli po Jozue, jenž viděli všecky skutky veliké Hospodinovy, kteréž učinil Izraelovi.
And they served the Lord, during all his days, and during all the days of the elders, who lived for a long time after him, and who knew all the works of the Lord, which he had done for Israel.
8 Ale když umřel Jozue syn Nun, služebník Hospodinův, jsa ve stu a desíti letech,
Then Joshua, the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died, being one hundred and ten years old.
9 A pochovali ho v krajině dědictví jeho, v Tamnatheres, na hoře Efraim, k straně půlnoční hory Gás;
And they buried him in the parts of his possession at Timnath-Serah, on Mount Ephraim, before the northern side of Mount Gaash.
10 Také když všecken věk ten připojen jest k otcům svým, a povstal jiný věk po nich, kteříž neznali Hospodina, ani skutků, kteréž učinil Izraelovi:
And that entire generation was gathered to their fathers. And there rose up others, who had not known the Lord and the works that he had done for Israel.
11 Tedy činili synové Izraelští to, což jest zlého před očima Hospodinovýma, a sloužili modlám,
And the sons of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and they served the Baals.
12 Opustivše Hospodina Boha otců svých, kterýž je vyvedl z země Egyptské, a odešli za bohy cizími, bohy těch národů, kteříž byli vůkol nich, a klaněli se jim; pročež popudili Hospodina.
And they abandoned the Lord, the God of their fathers, who had led them away from the land of Egypt. And they followed foreign gods and the gods of the peoples who were living around them, and they adored them. And they provoked the Lord to wrath,
13 Nebo opustivše Hospodina, sloužili Bálovi i Astarotům.
forsaking him, and serving Baal and Ashtaroth.
14 I rozpálila se prchlivost Hospodinova na Izraele, a vydal je v ruku loupežníků, kteříž je zloupili; vydal je, pravím, v ruku nepřátel jejich vůkol, tak že nemohli více ostáti před nepřátely svými.
And the Lord, having become angry against Israel, delivered them into the hands of plunderers, who seized them and sold them to the enemies that were living on all sides. Neither were they able to withstand their adversaries.
15 Kamžkoli vycházeli, ruka Hospodinova byla proti nim ke zlému, jakož byl mluvil Hospodin, a jakož byl zapřisáhl jim Hospodin; i ssouženi byli náramně.
Instead, wherever they wanted to go, the hand of the Lord was upon them, just as he said and just as he swore to them. And they were greatly afflicted.
16 Vzbuzoval pak Hospodin soudce, kteříž vysvobozovali je z rukou zhoubců jejich.
And the Lord raised up judges, who would free them from the hands of their oppressors. But they were not willing to listen to them.
17 Ale ani soudců svých neposlouchali, nebo smilnili, odcházejíce za bohy cizími, a klaněli se jim. Odcházeli rychle s cesty, po kteréž chodili otcové jejich, tak že poslouchati majíce přikázaní Hospodinových, nečinili toho.
Fornicating with foreign gods and adoring them, they quickly deserted the way along which their fathers had advanced. And having heard the commandments of the Lord, they did all things to the contrary.
18 A když vzbuzoval jim Hospodin soudce, býval Hospodin s každým soudcím, a vysvobozoval je z ruky nepřátel jejich po všecky dny soudce; (nebo želel Hospodin naříkání jejich, k němuž je přivodili ti, kteříž je ssužovali a utiskali).
And while the Lord was raising up the judges, in their days, he was moved to mercy, and he listened to the groaning of the afflicted, and he freed them from the slaughter of their oppressors.
19 Po smrti pak soudce navracejíce se zase, pohoršovali cest svých více nežli otcové jejich, odcházejíce za bohy cizími, a sloužíce i klanějíce se jim; nic neulevili z skutků jejich zlých a cesty jejich převrácené.
But after a judge had died, they turned back, and they were doing much worse things than their fathers had done, following strange gods, serving them, and adoring them. They did not abandon their pursuits and their very stubborn way, by which they were accustomed to walk.
20 Protož rozpálila se prchlivost Hospodinova proti Izraelovi, a řekl: Proto že přestoupil národ tento smlouvu mou, kterouž jsem učinil s otci jejich, a neposlouchali hlasu mého:
And the fury of the Lord was enraged against Israel, and he said: “For this people has made void my covenant, which I had formed with their fathers, and they have despised listening to my voice.
21 Já také více nevyhladím žádného od tváři jejich z národů, kterýchž zanechal Jozue, když umřel,
And so, I will not destroy the nations that Joshua left behind when he died,
22 Abych skrze ně zkušoval Izraele, budou-li ostříhati cesty přikázaní Hospodinových, chodíce v nich, jakož ostříhali otcové jejich, čili nic.
so that, by them, I may test Israel, as to whether or not they will keep the way of the Lord, and walk in it, just as their fathers kept it.”
23 I zanechal Hospodin národů těch, a nevyhnal jich rychle, aniž dal jich v ruku Jozue.
Therefore, the Lord left all these nations, and he was not willing to quickly overthrow them, nor did he deliver them into the hands of Joshua.
