< Sudcov 20 >

1 I vyšli všickni synové Izraelští, a shromáždilo se všecko množství jednomyslně od Dan až do Bersabé, i země Galád, k Hospodinu do Masfa.
And so all the sons of Israel went out like one man, from Dan to Beersheba, with the land of Gilead, and they gathered together, before the Lord, at Mizpah.
2 Kdežto postavili se přední všeho lidu, všecka pokolení Izraelská v shromáždění lidu Božího, čtyřikrát sto tisíc lidu pěšího válečného.
And all the chiefs of the people, and every tribe of Israel, convened as an assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand foot soldiers for battle.
3 (Uslyšeli pak synové Beniamin, že by sešli se synové Izraelští v Masfa.) I řekli synové Izraelští: Povězte, kterak se stala nešlechetnost ta?
(But it was not hidden from the sons of Benjamin that the sons of Israel had ascended to Mizpah.) And the Levite, the husband of the woman who was killed, being questioned as to how so great a crime had been perpetrated,
4 I odpověděv muž Levíta, manžel ženy zamordované, řekl: Do Gabaa kteréž jest Beniaminovo, přišel jsem s ženinou svou, abych tam přenocoval.
responded: “I went to Gibeah of Benjamin, with my wife, and I diverted to that place.
5 Tedy povstavše proti mně muži Gabaa, obklíčili mne v domě v noci, myslíce mne zamordovati, ženinu pak mou trápili, tak že umřela.
And behold, the men of that city, at night, surrounded the house in which I was staying, intending to kill me. And they abused my wife with such an incredible fury of lust that in the end she died.
6 Pročež vzav ženinu svou, rozsekal jsem ji na kusy, a rozeslal jsem ji do všech krajin dědictví Izraelského; nebo nešlechetnosti a mrzkosti se dopustili v Izraeli.
And taking her up, I cut her into pieces, and I sent the parts into all the borders of your possession. For never before was such a nefarious crime, and so great a sin, committed in Israel.
7 Aj, všickni vy synové Izraelští jste; považte toho mezi sebou, a raďte se o to.
You are all present here, O sons of Israel. Discern what you ought to do.”
8 A povstav všecken lid jednomyslně, řekli: Nenavrátí se žádný z nás do příbytku svého, aniž odejde kdo do domu svého.
And all the people, standing, responded as if with the word of one man: “We shall not return to our own tents, nor shall anyone enter into his own house.
9 Ale nyní toto učiníme Gabaa, losujíce proti němu.
But this we shall do in common against Gibeah:
10 Vezmeme deset mužů ze sta po všech pokoleních Izraelských, a sto z tisíce, a tisíc z desíti tisíců, aby dodávali potravy lidu, kterýž by přitáhna do Gabaa Beniaminova, pomstil všech nešlechetností jeho, kterýchž se dopustilo v Izraeli.
We shall select ten men out of one hundred from all the tribes of Israel, and one hundred out of one thousand, and one thousand out of ten thousand, so that they may transport supplies for the army, and so that we will be able to fight against Gibeah of Benjamin, and to repay it for its crime as it deserves.”
11 I sebrali se všickni muži Izraelští na to město, snesše se za jednoho člověka.
And all of Israel convened against the city, like one man, with one mind and one counsel.
12 Poslala pak pokolení Izraelská muže do všech čeledí synů Beniamin, řkouce: Jaký to zlý skutek stal se mezi vámi?
And they sent messengers to the entire tribe of Benjamin, who said: “Why has so great a wickedness been found among you?
13 Nyní tedy vydejte ty muže bezbožné, kteříž jsou v Gabaa, ať je zbijeme a odejmeme zlé z Izraele. Ale nechtěli Beniaminští slyšeti hlasu bratří svých, synů Izraelských.
Deliver the men of Gibeah, who have perpetrated this deplorable act, so that they may die, and so that the evil may be taken away from Israel.” And they were not willing to listen to the command of their brothers, the sons of Israel.
14 Nýbrž shromáždili se synové Beniamin z měst svých do Gabaa, aby vytáhli k boji proti synům Izraelským.
Instead, out of all the cities that were their lot, they convened at Gibeah, so that they might bring them assistance, and so that they might contend against the entire people of Israel.
15 Toho dne načteno jest synů Beniamin z měst jejich dvadceti šest tisíc mužů bojovných, kromě obyvatelů Gabaa, jichž načteno bylo šest set mužů vybraných.
And there were found from Benjamin twenty-five thousand who drew the sword, aside from the inhabitants of Gibeah,
16 Mezi kterýmžto vším lidem bylo sedm set mužů vybraných, neužívajících pravé ruky své, z nichž každý z praku kamením házeli k vlasu, a nechybovali se.
who were seven hundred very strong men, fighting with the left hand as well as with the right hand, and casting stones from a sling so accurately that they were able to strike even a hair, and the path of the stone would by no means miss to either side.
17 Mužů pak Izraelských načteno jest kromě Beniaminských čtyřikrát sto tisíc mužů bojovných; všickni tito byli muži udatní.
Then too, among the men of Israel apart from the sons of Benjamin, there were found four hundred thousand who drew the sword and who were prepared for battle.
18 Vstavše pak, brali se do domu Boha silného, a tázali se Boha, a řekli synové Izraelští: Kdo z nás půjde napřed k boji proti synům Beniamin? I řekl Hospodin: Juda půjde napřed.
And they rose up and went to the house of God, that is, to Shiloh. And they consulted God, and they said, “Who shall be, in our army, the first to contend against the sons of Benjamin?” And the Lord responded to them, “Let Judah be your leader.”
19 A tak ráno vstavše synové Izraelští, položili se proti Gabaa.
And immediately the sons of Israel, rising up in the morning, made camp near Gibeah.
20 I táhli muži Izraelští k boji proti synům Beniamin, a sšikovali se muži Izraelští k bitvě proti Gabaa.
And setting out from there to fight against Benjamin, they began to assault the city.
21 Vyšedše pak synové Beniamin z Gabaa, porazili z Izraele toho dne dvamecítma tisíc mužů na zem.
And the sons of Benjamin, departing from Gibeah, slew twenty-two thousand men from the sons of Israel, on that day.
22 A posilnivše se muži lidu Izraelského, spořádali se zase k boji na místě, na kterémž se prvního dne zřídili.
Again the sons of Israel, trusting in both strength and number, set their troops in order, in the same place where they had contended before.
23 Prvé pak šli synové Izraelští, a plakali před Hospodinem až do večera. I tázali se Hospodina těmi slovy: Půjdeme-li ještě k boji proti synům Beniamina bratra našeho? Odpověděl Hospodin: Jděte proti nim.
But first they also went up and wept before the Lord, even until night. And they consulted him and said, “Should I continue to go forth, so as to contend against the sons of Benjamin, my brothers, or not?” And he responded to them, “Ascend against them, and undertake the struggle.”
24 Tedy potýkali se synové Izraelští s syny Beniamin druhého dne.
And when the sons of Israel had continued to do battle against the sons of Benjamin on the next day,
25 A vyšedše synové Beniamin z Gabaa na ně druhého dne, porazili z synů Izraelských opět osmnácte tisíc mužů na zem, vše mužů bojovných.
the sons of Benjamin burst forth from the gates of Gibeah. And meeting them, they made such a frenzied slaughter against them that they struck down eighteen thousand men who drew the sword.
26 Protož vstoupili všickni synové Izraelští a všecken lid, a přišli do domu Boha silného. I plakali, usadivše se tam před Hospodinem, a postili se toho dne až do večera; obětovali též oběti zápalné a pokojné před Hospodinem.
As a result, all the sons of Israel went to the house of God, and sitting down, they wept before the Lord. And they fasted that day until evening, and they offered to him holocausts and victims of peace offerings.
27 I tázali se synové Izraelští Hospodina, (nebo tu byla truhla smlouvy Boží v těch dnech,
And they inquired about their state. At that time, the ark of the covenant of the Lord was in that place.
28 A Fínes syn Eleazara, syna Aronova, stál před ní v ten čas, ) řkouce: Půjdeme-li ještě k boji proti synům Beniamina bratra našeho, čili tak necháme? Odpověděl Hospodin: Jděte, nebo zítra dám je v ruku vaši.
And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, was the first ruler of the house. And so, they consulted the Lord, and they said, “Should we continue to go forth in battle against the sons of Benjamin, our brothers, or should we cease?” And the Lord said to them: “Ascend. For tomorrow, I will deliver them into your hands.”
29 Tedy Izraelští zdělali zálohy proti Gabaa všudy vůkol.
And the sons of Israel stationed ambushes around the city of Gibeah.
30 I šli synové Izraelští proti synům Beniamin dne třetího, a sšikovali se proti Gabaa, jako prvé jednou i podruhé.
And they brought out their army against Benjamin a third time, just as they had done on the first and second times.
31 Vyšedše pak synové Beniamin proti lidu, odtrhli se od města, a počali bíti a mordovati lidu, jako prvé jednou i druhé po stezkách, (z nichž jedna šla k Bethel a druhá do Gabaa), i po poli, a zbili okolo třidcíti mužů z Izraele.
But the sons of Benjamin again burst forth boldly from the city. And since their enemies were fleeing, they pursued them a long way, so that they might wound or kill some of them, just as they had done on the first and second days. And they turned their backs along two paths, one bringing them toward Bethel, and the other toward Gibeah. And they struck down about thirty men.
32 A řekli synové Beniamin: Padají před námi jako i prvé. Synové pak Izraelští řekli byli: Utíkejme, abychom je odtrhli od města až k stezkám.
For they thought that they were falling back as they had done before. But instead, skillfully feigning flight, they undertook a plan to draw them away from the city, and by seeming to flee, to lead them along the above stated paths.
33 A v tom všickni synové Izraelští vstavše z místa svého, sšikovali se v Baltamar; zálohy také Izraelovy vyskočily z místa svého z trávníků Gabaa.
And so all the sons of Israel, rising up from their positions, set their troops in order, in the place which is called Baaltamar. Likewise, the ambushes that encircled the city began, little by little, to reveal themselves,
34 Tedy vyšlo proti Gabaa deset tisíc mužů vybraných ze všeho Izraele, a bitva se rozmáhala; oni pak nevěděli o tom, že je potkati mělo zlé.
and to advance upon the western part of the city. Moreover, another ten thousand men from all of Israel were provoking a conflict with the inhabitants of the city. And the war grew heavy against the sons of Benjamin. And they did not realize that, on all sides of them, death was imminent.
35 I porazil Hospodin Beniamina před Izraelem, a zbili synové Izraelští z Beniaminských dne toho pětmecítma tisíc a sto mužů, vše bojovných.
And the Lord struck them down in the sight of the sons of Israel, and they put to death, on that day, twenty-five thousand of them, along with one hundred men, all warriors and those who drew the sword.
36 A vidouce synové Beniamin, že by poraženi byli, (nebo muži Izraelští ustupovali z místa Beniaminským, ubezpečivše se na zálohy, kteréž zdělali proti Gabaa.
But the sons of Benjamin, when they had seen themselves to be the weaker, began to flee. And the sons of Israel discerning this, gave them room to flee, so that they might arrive at the ambushes that were prepared, which they had positioned near the city.
37 Zálohy pak pospíšily a obořily se na Gabaa, a rozvláčně troubivše zálohy, zbily všecko město ostrostí meče.
And after they had risen up suddenly from hiding, and those of Benjamin had turned their backs to those who cut them down, they entered the city, and they struck it with the edge of the sword.
38 Měli pak muži Izraelští s zálohami jistý čas uložený, aby když by oni zapálili město,
Now the sons of Israel had given a sign to those whom they had stationed in ambushes, so that, after they had seized the city, they would light a fire, and by the smoke ascending on high, they would show that the city was captured.
39 Obrátili se synové Izraelští k boji. Beniaminští pak počali bíti a mordovati, a zbili z synů Izraelských okolo třidcíti mužů; nebo řekli: Jistě že padají před námi jako v první bitvě.
And then, the sons of Israel discerned this sign during the battle (for the sons of Benjamin had thought that they fled, and they pursued them forcefully, cutting down thirty men from their army).
40 Oheň pak počal vzhůru jíti z města, a sloup dymový. A ohlédše se Beniaminští zpět, uzřeli, an vstupuje oheň města k nebi.)
And they saw something like a pillar of smoke ascending from the city. Likewise, Benjamin, looking back, discerned that the city was captured, for the flames were being carried on high.
41 A že muži Izraelští obrátili se, i zděšeni jsou muži Beniamin, nebo viděli, že zahynutí jim nastává.
And those who before had pretended to flee, turning their faces, withstood them more strongly. And when the sons of Benjamin had seen this, they turned their backs in flight,
42 I utíkali před muži Izraelskými cestou ku poušti, a bojovníci postihali je, a kteří z měst vyšli, mordovali je mezi sebou.
and they began to go toward the way of the desert, with the adversary pursuing them to that place also. Moreover, those who had set fire to the city also met them.
43 A tak obklíčili Beniaminské, a honili i porazili je, od Manuha až naproti Gabaa k východu slunce.
And so it happened that they were cut down on both sides by the enemies, nor was there any respite for the dying. They were killed and struck down on the eastern side of the city of Gibeah.
44 Tedy padlo Beniaminských osmnácte tisíc mužů; všickni ti byli muži silní.
Now those who were put to death in the same place were eighteen thousand men, all very robust fighters.
45 Těch pak, kteříž obrátivše se, utíkali na poušť k skále Remmon, zpaběrovali po cestách pět tisíc mužů; potom honili je až k Gidom, a zbili z nich dva tisíce mužů.
And when those who remained of Benjamin had seen this, they fled into the wilderness. And they were traveling toward the rock which is called Rimmon. In that flight also, among those who were scattering in different directions, they slew five thousand men. And though they scattered all the more, they continued to pursue them, and then they put to death another two thousand.
46 A tak bylo všech, kteříž padli v ten den z Beniaminských, pětmecítma tisíc mužů bojovných, vše mužů silných.
And so it happened that all of those who were slain from Benjamin, in various places, were twenty-five thousand fighters, very willing to go to war.
47 I obrátilo se na poušť a uteklo k skále Remmon šest set mužů, kteříž zůstali v skále Remmon za čtyři měsíce.
And so there remained from the entire number of Benjamin six hundred men who were able to escape and to flee into the wilderness. And they settled at the rock of Rimmon, for four months.
48 Potom muži Izraelští navrátili se k synům Beniamin, a zbili je ostrostí meče, tak lidi v městech jako hovada, i všecko, což nalezeno bylo; také i všecka města, kteráž ještě pozůstávala, ohněm vypálili.
But the sons of Israel, returning, had struck with the sword all that remained in the city, from men even to cattle. And all the cities and villages of Benjamin were consumed with devouring flames.
