Sudcov 3
1 Tito pak jsou národové, kterýchž zanechal Hospodin, aby skrze ně zkušoval Izraele, totiž všech, kteříž nevěděli o žádných válkách Kananejských,
At that time there were still many people-groups in Canaan. Yahweh left them there to test the Israeli people. But many of the Israelis in Canaan were ones who had not fought in any of the wars in Canaan. So Yahweh also left those people-groups in Canaan so that the descendants of those who had not fought in any of the wars might learn how to fight.
2 Aby aspoň zvěděli věkové synů Izraelských, a poznali, co jest to válka, čehož první nevěděli:
3 Patero knížat Filistinských, a všickni Kananejští a Sidonští a Hevejští bydlící na hoře Libánské od hory Balhermon až tam, kudy se vchází do Emat.
[This is a list of] the people-groups that Yahweh left there: The Philistines and their five leaders, the people living in the area near Sidon [city], the descendants of Canaan, and the descendants of Hiv who were living in the mountains of Lebanon between Baal-Hermon Mountain and Lebo-Hamath.
4 Ti pozůstali, aby zkušován byl skrze ně Izrael, a aby známé bylo, budou-li poslouchati přikázaní Hospodinových, kteráž přikázal otcům jejich skrze Mojžíše.
Yahweh left these people-groups there to test the Israelis, to see if they would obey his commands which he had told Moses to give them.
5 Bydlili tedy synové Izraelští u prostřed Kananejských, Hetejských a Amorejských, a Ferezejských a Hevejských a Jebuzejských,
The Israelis lived among the Canaan people-group, the Hiv people-group, the Amor people-group, the Periz people-group, the Hiv people-group, and the Jebus people-group.
6 A brali sobě dcery jejich za manželky, a dcery své dávali synům jejich, a sloužili bohům jejich.
[Moses had told the people not to associate with any of those people]. But the Israelis took daughters of people from those people-groups [to be their own wives], and gave their own daughters to men of those groups, to marry them. And [as a result] they started to worship the gods of those people-groups.
7 Činili tedy synové Izraelští to, což jest zlého před očima Hospodinovýma, a zapomenuvše se na Hospodina Boha svého, sloužili Bálům a Asserotům.
The Israelis did things that Yahweh said were very evil. They forgot about Yahweh, their God, and they started to worship [the idols that represented] the god Baal and the goddess Asherah.
8 Protož rozpálila se prchlivost Hospodinova na Izraele, a vydal jej v ruku Chusana Risataimského, krále Syrského v Mezopotamii; i sloužili synové Izraelští Chusanovi Risataimskému osm let.
Yahweh became very angry with the Israelis. So he allowed king Cushan from Mesopotamia to conquer them and rule them for eight years.
9 Volali pak synové Izraelští k Hospodinu, i vzbudil Hospodin vysvoboditele synům Izraelským, aby je vysvobodil, Otoniele syna Cenezova bratra Kálefova mladšího,
But when they pleaded to Yahweh [to help them], he gave them a leader to rescue them. He was Othniel, the son of Caleb’s younger brother Kenaz.
10 Na němž byl duch Hospodinův, a soudil lid Izraelský. Když pak vytáhl k boji, dal Hospodin v ruce jeho Chusana Risataimského, krále Syrského, a zmocnila se ruka jeho nad Chusanem Risataimským.
Yahweh’s Spirit came upon him, and he became their leader. He [led an army that] fought against [the army of] Cushan, and defeated them.
11 A tak v pokoji byla země za čtyřidceti let; i umřel Otoniel, syn Cenezův.
After that, there was peace in the land for 40 years, until Othniel died.
12 Takž opět činili synové Izraelští to, což jest zlého před očima Hospodinovýma. I zsilil Hospodin Eglona, krále Moábského, proti Izraelovi, proto že činili zlé věci před očima Hospodinovýma.
After that, the Israelis again did things that Yahweh said were very evil. As a result, he allowed the army of King Eglon, who ruled [the] Moab [area], to defeat the Israelis.
13 Nebo shromáždil k sobě syny Ammonovy a Amalechovy, a vytáh, porazil Izraele, a opanovali město palmové.
Eglon persuaded the leaders of the Ammon and Amalek people-groups to join their armies with his army to attack Israel. They captured [Jericho, which was called] ‘The City of Palm Trees’.
14 I sloužili synové Izraelští Eglonovi králi Moábskému osmnácte let.
Then King Eglon ruled the Israelis for eighteen years.
15 Potom volali synové Izraelští k Hospodinu. I vzbudil jim Hospodin vysvoboditele Ahoda, syna Gery Beniaminského, muže rukou pravou nevládnoucího. I poslali synové Izraelští po něm dar Eglonovi králi Moábskému.
But then the Israelis again pleaded to Yahweh [to help them]. So he gave them another leader to rescue them. He was Ehud, a left-handed man, the son of Gera, from the descendants of Benjamin. The Israelis sent him to King Eglon to give him their yearly protection money.
16 (Připravil pak sobě Ahod meč na obě straně ostrý, lokte zdélí, a připásal jej sobě pod šaty svými po pravé straně.)
Ehud had with him a double-edged dagger, about a foot and a half long. He strapped it to his right thigh, under his clothes.
17 I přinesl dar Eglonovi králi Moábskému. Eglon pak byl člověk velmi tlustý.
He gave the money to King Eglon, who was a very fat man.
18 A když dodal daru, propustil lid, kterýž byl přinesl dar.
Then Ehud started to go back home with the men who had carried the money.
19 Sám pak vrátiv se od lomů blízko Galgala, řekl: Tajnou věc mám k tobě, ó králi. I řekl král: Mlč. A vyšli od něho všickni, kteříž stáli při něm.
When they arrived at the stone carvings near Gilgal, [he told the other men to go on, but] he himself turned around and went back [to the king of Moab. When he arrived at the palace], he said to the king, “Your majesty, I have a secret message for you.” So the king told all his servants to be quiet, and sent them out of the room.
20 Tehdy Ahod přistoupil k němu, (on pak seděl na paláci letním sám). I řekl mu Ahod: Řeč Boží mám k tobě. I vstal z stolice své.
Then, as Eglon was sitting alone in the upstairs room of his summer palace, Ehud came close to him and said, “I have a message for you from God.” As the king got up from his chair,
21 Tedy sáhna Ahod rukou svou levou, vzal meč u pravého boku svého a vrazil jej do břicha jeho,
Ehud reached with his left hand and pulled the dagger from his right thigh, and plunged it into the king’s belly.
22 Tak že i jilce za ostřím vešly tam, a zavřel se tukem meč, (nebo nevytáhl meče z břicha jeho; ) i vyšla lejna.
He thrust it in so far that the handle went into the king’s belly, and the blade came out the king’s back. Ehud did not pull the dagger out. [He left it there, with] the handle buried in the king’s fat.
23 Potom vyšel Ahod přes síň, a zavřel dvéře paláce po sobě, a zamkl.
Then Ehud left the room. He went out to the porch. He shut the doors to the room and locked them.
24 Když pak on odšel, služebníci jeho přišedše, uzřeli, a hle, dvéře palácu zamčíny. Tedy řekli: Jest na potřebě v pokoji letním.
After he had gone, King Eglon’s servants came back, but they saw that the doors of the room were locked. They said, “The king must be defecating in the inner room.”
25 A když očekávali dlouho, až se styděli, a aj, neotvíral dveří paláce, tedy vzali klíč a otevřeli, a hle, pán jejich leží na zemi mrtvý.
So they waited, but when the king did not open the doors of the room, after a while they were worried. They got a key and unlocked the doors. And they saw that their king was lying on the floor, dead.
26 Ahod pak mezi tím, když oni prodlévali, ušel, a přešed lomy, přišel do Seirat.
Meanwhile, Ehud escaped. He passed by the stone carvings and arrived at Seirah, in the hilly area where the descendants of Ephraim lived.
27 A přišed k svým, troubil v troubu na hoře Efraim; i sstoupili s ním synové Izraelští s hory, a on napřed šel.
There he blew a trumpet [to signal that the people should join him to fight the people of Moab]. So the Israelis went with him from the hills. They went down [toward the Jordan river], with Ehud leading them.
28 Nebo řekl jim: Poďte za mnou, dalť jest zajisté Hospodin Moábské, nepřátely vaše, v ruku vaši. Tedy táhli za ním, a vzavše Moábským brody Jordánské, nedali žádnému přejíti.
He said to the men, “Yahweh is going to allow us to defeat your enemies, the people of Moab. So follow me!” So they followed him down to the river, and they stationed some of their men at the place where people can walk across the river, in order that they could [kill any people from Moab who tried to] cross the river [to escape].
29 I pobili tehdáž Moábských okolo desíti tisíc mužů, každého bohatého a všelikého silného muže, aniž kdo ušel.
At that time, the Israelis killed about 10,000 people from Moab. They were all strong and capable men, but not one of them escaped.
30 I snížen jest Moáb v ten den pod mocí Izraele, a pokoj měla země za osmdesáte let.
On that day, the Israelis conquered the people of Moab. Then there was peace in their land for 80 years.
31 Po něm pak byl Samgar, syn Anatův, a pobil Filistinských šest set mužů ostnem volů, a vysvobodil i on Izraele.
After Ehud [died], Shamgar became their leader. He rescued the Israelis [from the Philistines. In one battle] he killed 600 Philistines with an (ox goad/sharp wooden pole).
