Judges 2
1 Now the angel of the LORD went up from Gilgal to Bochim and said, “I brought you up out of Egypt and led you into the land that I had promised to your fathers, and I said, ‘I will never break My covenant with you,
Gospodov angel je prišel gor od Gilgála k Bohímu in rekel: »Primoral sem vas iti gor, ven iz Egipta in vas privedel v deželo, ki sem jo prisegel vašim očetom. Rekel sem: ›Nikoli ne bom prelomil svoje zaveze z vami.
2 and you are not to make a covenant with the people of this land, but you shall tear down their altars.’ Yet you have not obeyed My voice. What is this you have done?
In vi ne boste sklenili nobene zaveze s prebivalci te dežele; zrušili boste njihove oltarje.‹ Toda niste ubogali mojega glasu. Zakaj ste to storili?‹
3 So now I tell you that I will not drive out these people before you; they will be thorns in your sides, and their gods will be a snare to you.”
Zato sem tudi rekel: ›Ne bom jih pognal izpred vas, temveč vam bodo kakor trni na vaših straneh in njihovi bogovi vam bodo zanka.‹«
4 When the angel of the LORD had spoken these words to all the Israelites, the people lifted up their voices and wept.
Pripetilo se je, ko je Gospodov angel te besede povedal vsem Izraelovim otrokom, da je ljudstvo povzdignilo svoj glas in zajokalo.
5 So they called that place Bochim and offered sacrifices there to the LORD.
Ime tega kraja so imenovali Bohím in tam so darovali Gospodu.
6 After Joshua had dismissed the people, the Israelites went out to take possession of the land, each to his own inheritance.
Ko je Józue pustil ljudstvu oditi, so Izraelovi otroci odšli, vsak mož v svojo dediščino, da deželo vzamejo v last.
7 And the people served the LORD throughout the days of Joshua and of the elders who outlived him, who had seen all the great works that the LORD had done for Israel.
Ljudstvo je služilo Gospodu vse Józuetove dni in vse dni starešin, ki so preživeli Józueta, ki so videli vsa velika Gospodova dela, ki jih je storil za Izrael.
8 And Joshua son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died at the age of 110.
Nunov sin Józue, Gospodov služabnik, je umrl, star sto deset let.
9 They buried him in the land of his inheritance, at Timnath-heres in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash.
Pokopali so ga na meji njegove dediščine, v Timnát Heresu, na gori Efrájim, na severni strani Gáaševega hriba.
10 After that whole generation had also been gathered to their fathers, another generation rose up who did not know the LORD or the works that He had done for Israel.
Tudi ves ta rod je bil zbran k svojim očetom in tam je za njimi vstal drug rod, ki ni poznal Gospoda niti še ne del, ki jih je ta storil za Izrael.
11 And the Israelites did evil in the sight of the LORD and served the Baals.
Izraelovi otroci so počeli zlo v Gospodovih očeh in služili Báalom.
12 Thus they forsook the LORD, the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt, and they followed after various gods of the peoples around them. They bowed down to them and provoked the LORD to anger,
Zapustili so Gospoda, Boga svojih očetov, ki jih je privedel iz egiptovske dežele in sledili drugim bogovom, bogovom ljudstev, ki so bili okoli njih, se jim priklanjali in Gospoda izzivali k jezi.
13 for they forsook Him and served Baal and the Ashtoreths.
Zapustili so Gospoda in služili Báalu in Astarti.
14 Then the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He delivered them into the hands of those who plundered them. He sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, whom they were no longer able to resist.
Gospodova jeza je bila vroča zoper Izrael in izročil jih je v roke plenilcev, ki so jih oplenili in jih prodal v roke njihovih sovražnikov naokoli, tako da ne bi mogli več obstati pred svojimi sovražniki.
15 Wherever Israel marched out, the hand of the LORD was against them to bring calamity, just as He had sworn to them. So they were greatly distressed.
Kamorkoli so odšli, je bila zoper njih Gospodova roka za zlo, kakor je Gospod rekel in kakor jim je Gospod prisegel. Bili so silno stiskani.
16 Then the LORD raised up judges, who saved them from the hands of those who plundered them.
Kljub temu je Gospod dvignil sodnike, ki so jih osvobajali iz roke tistih, ki so jih plenili.
17 Israel, however, did not listen to their judges. Instead, they prostituted themselves with other gods and bowed down to them. They quickly turned from the way of their fathers, who had walked in obedience to the LORD’s commandments; they did not do as their fathers had done.
Vendar niso hoteli prisluhniti svojim sodnikom, temveč so se odšli vlačugat za drugimi bogovi in se jim priklanjali. Hitro so se obrnili iz poti, po kateri so hodili njihovi očetje z uboganjem Gospodovih zapovedi, toda oni niso tako storili.
18 Whenever the LORD raised up a judge for the Israelites, He was with that judge and saved them from the hands of their enemies while the judge was still alive; for the LORD was moved to pity by their groaning under those who oppressed them and afflicted them.
Ko jim je Gospod dvignil sodnike, potem je bil Gospod s sodnikom in jih vse sodnikove dni osvobajal iz roke njihovih sovražnikov, kajti to je pokesalo Gospoda zaradi njihovega stokanja, zaradi razloga tistih, ki so jih zatirali in jih slabili.
19 But when the judge died, the Israelites became even more corrupt than their fathers, going after other gods to serve them and bow down to them. They would not give up their evil practices and stubborn ways.
Pripetilo pa se je, ko je bil sodnik mrtev, da so se vrnili in se izpridili bolj kakor njihovi očetje v sledenju drugim bogovom, da jim služijo in se jim priklanjajo. Niso odnehali od svojih lastnih početij niti od svoje trmoglave poti.
20 So the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He said, “Because this nation has transgressed the covenant I laid down for their fathers and has not heeded My voice,
Gospodova jeza je bila vroča zoper Izrael in rekel je: »Zato, ker je to ljudstvo prekršilo mojo zavezo, ki sem jo zapovedal njihovim očetom in niso prisluhnili mojemu glasu,
21 I will no longer drive out before them any of the nations Joshua left when he died.
odslej tudi jaz pred njimi ne bom podil kateregakoli izmed narodov, ki jih je pustil Józue, ko je umrl,
22 In this way I will test whether Israel will keep the way of the LORD by walking in it as their fathers did.”
da bom lahko po njih preizkusil Izraela, če se bodo držali Gospodove poti, da hodijo po njej, kakor so se je držali njihovi očetje ali ne.«
23 That is why the LORD had left those nations in place and had not driven them out immediately by delivering them into the hand of Joshua.
Zato je Gospod pustil tiste narode, ne da bi jih naglo pognal ven niti jih ni izročil v Józuetovo roko.
