Judges 6
1 And the children of Israel did evil in the eyes of the Lord; and the Lord gave them up into the hand of Midian for seven years.
A sinovi Izrailjevi èiniše što je zlo pred Gospodom, i Gospod ih dade u ruke Madijanima za sedam godina.
2 And Midian was stronger than Israel; and because of the Midianites, the children of Israel made holes for themselves in the mountains, and hollows in the rocks, and strong places.
I osili ruka Madijanska nad Izrailjem, te od straha Madijanskoga naèiniše sebi sinovi Izrailjevi jame koje su po gorama, i peæine i ograde.
3 And whenever Israel's grain was planted, the Midianites and the Amalekites and the people of the east came up against them;
I kad bi Izrailjci posijali, dolažahu Madijani i Amalici i istoèni narod, dolažahu na njih.
4 And put their army in position against them; and they took all the produce of the earth as far as Gaza, till there was no food in Israel, or any sheep or oxen or asses.
I stavši u oko protiv njih, potirahu rod zemaljski dori do Gaze, i ne ostavljahu hrane u Izrailju, ni ovce ni vola ni magarca.
5 For they came up regularly with their oxen and their tents; they came like the locusts in number; they and their camels were without number; and they came into the land for its destruction.
Jer se podizahu sa stadima svojim i sa šatorima svojim, i dolažahu kao skakavci, tako mnogo, i ne bješe broja njima ni kamilama njihovijem, i dolazeæi u zemlju pustošahu je.
6 And Israel was in great need because of Midian; and the cry of the children of Israel went up to the Lord.
Tada osiromaši Izrailj veoma od Madijana, i povikaše ka Gospodu sinovi Izrailjevi.
7 And when the cry of the children of Israel, because of Midian, came before the Lord,
A kad povikaše sinovi Izrailjevi ka Gospodu od Madijana,
8 The Lord sent a prophet to the children of Israel, who said to them, The Lord the God of Israel, has said, I took you up from Egypt, out of the prison-house;
Gospod posla proroka k sinovima Izrailjevijem, a on im reèe: ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev: ja sam vas izveo iz Misira, i izveo sam vas iz doma ropskoga,
9 And I took you out of the hands of the Egyptians and out of the hands of all who were cruel to you, and I sent them out by force from before you and gave you their land;
I izbavio sam vas iz ruke Misirske i iz ruke svijeh onijeh koji vas muèahu; i odagnao sam ih ispred vas, i dao sam vama zemlju njihovu.
10 And I said to you, I am the Lord your God; you are not to give worship to the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living, but you did not give ear to my voice.
Pak vam rekoh: ja sam Gospod Bog vaš, na bojte se bogova Amoreja u kojih zemlji živite. Ali ne poslušaste glasa mojega.
11 Now the angel of the Lord came and took his seat under the oak-tree in Ophrah, in the field of Joash the Abiezrite; and his son Gideon was crushing grain in the place where the grapes were crushed, so that the Midianites might not see it.
Potom doðe anðeo Gospodnji i sjede pod hrastom u Ofri koji bijaše Joasa Avijezerita; a sin njegov Gedeon vrsijaše pšenicu na gumnu, da bi pobjegao s njom od Madijana.
12 And the angel of the Lord came before his eyes, and said to him, The Lord is with you, O man of war.
I javi mu se anðeo Gospodnji, i reèe mu: Gospod je s tobom, hrabri junaèe!
13 Then Gideon said to him, O my lord, if the Lord is with us why has all this come on us? And where are all his works of power, of which our fathers have given us word, saying, Did not the Lord take us out of Egypt? But now he has given us up, handing us over to the power of Midian.
A Gedeon mu reèe: o gospodaru moj! kad je Gospod s nama, zašto nas snaðe sve ovo? i gdje su sva èudesa njegova, koja nam pripovijedaše oci naši govoreæi: nije li nas Gospod izveo iz Misira? a sada nas je ostavio Gospod i predao u ruke Madijanima.
14 And the Lord, turning to him, said, Go in the strength you have and be Israel's saviour from Midian: have I not sent you?
A Gospod ga pogleda i reèe mu: idi u toj sili svojoj, i izbaviæeš Izrailja iz ruku Madijanskih. Ne poslah li te?
15 And he said to him, O Lord, how may I be the saviour of Israel? See, my family is the poorest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house.
A on mu reèe: o Gospode, èim æu izbaviti Izrailja? eto, rod je moj najsiromašniji u plemenu Manasijinu, a ja sam najmanji u domu oca svojega.
16 Then the Lord said to him, Truly, I will be with you, and you will overcome the Midianites as if they were one man.
Tada mu reèe Gospod: ja æu biti s tobom, te æeš pobiti Madijance kao jednoga.
17 So he said to him, If now I have grace in your eyes, then give me a sign that it is you who are talking to me.
A Gedeon mu reèe: ako sam našao milost pred tobom, daj mi znak da ti govoriš sa mnom.
18 Do not go away till I come with my offering and put it before you. And he said, I will not go away before you come back.
Nemoj otiæi odavde dokle se ja ne vratim k tebi i donesem dar svoj i stavim preda te. A on reèe: èekaæu dokle se vratiš.
19 Then Gideon went in and made ready a young goat, and with an ephah of meal he made unleavened cakes: he put the meat in a basket and the soup in which it had been cooked he put in a pot, and he took it out to him under the oak-tree and gave it to him there.
Tada otide Gedeon, i zgotovi jare i od efe brašna hljebove prijesne, i metnu meso u kotaricu a juhu u lonac, i donese mu pod hrast, i postavi.
20 And the angel of God said to him, Take the meat and the unleavened cakes and put them down on the rock over there, draining out the soup over them. And he did so.
A anðeo Božji reèe mu: uzmi to meso i te hljebove prijesne, i metni na onu stijenu, a juhu prolij. I on uèini tako.
21 Then the angel of the Lord put out the stick which was in his hand, touching the meat and the cakes with the end of it; and a flame came up out of the rock, burning up the meat and the cakes: and the angel of the Lord was seen no longer.
Tada anðeo Gospodnji pruži kraj od štapa koji mu bješe u ruci i dotaèe se mesa i hljebova prijesnijeh; i podiže se oganj sa stijene i spali meso i hljebove prijesne. I anðeo Gospodnji otide ispred oèiju njegovih.
22 Then Gideon was certain that he was the angel of the Lord; and Gideon said, I am in fear, O Lord God! for I have seen the angel of the Lord face to face.
A Gedeon vidjeæi da bješe anðeo Gospodnji, reèe: ah Gospode Bože! zato li vidjeh anðela Gospodnjega licem k licu?
23 But the Lord said to him, Peace be with you; have no fear: you are in no danger of death.
A Gospod mu reèe: budi miran, ne boj se, neæeš umrijeti.
24 Then Gideon made an altar there to the Lord, and gave it the name Yahweh-shalom; to this day it is in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
I Gedeon naèini ondje oltar Gospodu, i nazva ga mir Gospodnji. Stoji i danas u Ofri Avijezeritskoj.
25 The same night the Lord said to him, Take ten men of your servants and an ox seven years old, and after pulling down the altar of Baal which is your father's, and cutting down the holy tree by its side,
I istu noæ reèe mu Gospod: uzmi junca, koji je oca tvojega, junca drugoga od sedam godina; i raskopaj oltar Valov koji ima otac tvoj, i isijeci lug koji je kod njega.
26 Make an altar to the Lord your God on the top of this rock, in the ordered way and take the ox and make a burned offering with the wood of the holy tree which has been cut down.
I naèini oltar Gospodu Bogu svojemu navrh ove stijene, na zgodnu mjestu; pa onda uzmi drugoga junca, i prinesi žrtvu paljenicu na drvima onoga luga koji isijeèeš.
27 Then Gideon took ten of his servants and did as the Lord had said to him; but fearing to do it by day, because of his father's people and the men of the town, he did it by night.
Tada uze Gedeon deset ljudi izmeðu sluga svojih, i uèini kako mu zapovjedi Gospod; ali se bojaše doma oca svojega i mještana, te ne uèini danju nego uèini noæu.
28 And the men of the town got up early in the morning, and they saw the altar of Baal broken down, and the holy tree which was by it cut down, and the ox offered on the altar which had been put up there.
A kad ujutru ustaše mještani, a to raskopan oltar Valov i lug kod njega isjeèen; a junac drugi prinesen na žrtvu paljenicu na oltaru naèinjenom.
29 And they said to one another, Who has done this thing? And after searching with care, they said, Gideon, the son of Joash, has done this thing.
I rekoše jedan drugomu: ko to uèini? I traživši i raspitavši rekoše: Gedeon sin Joasov uèini to.
30 Then the men of the town said to Joash, Make your son come out to be put to death, for pulling down the altar of Baal and cutting down the holy tree which was by it.
Pa rekoše mještani Joasu: izvedi sina svojega da se pogubi, što raskopa oltar Valov i što isijeèe lug kod njega.
31 But Joash said to all those who were attacking him, Will you take up the cause of Baal? will you be his saviour? Let anyone who will take up his cause be put to death while it is still morning: if he is a god, let him take up his cause himself because of the pulling down of his altar.
A Joas reèe svjema koji stajahu oko njega: vi li hoæete da branite Vala? vi li hoæete da ga izbavite? ko ga brani, poginuæe jutros. Ako je bog, neka sam raspravi s njim što mu je raskopao oltar.
32 So that day he gave him the name of Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal take up his cause against him because his altar has been broken down.
I prozva ga onoga dana Jeroval govoreæi: neka raspravi s njim Val što mu raskopa oltar.
33 Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the people of the east, banding themselves together, went over and put up their tents in the valley of Jezreel.
A svi Madijani i Amalici i istoèni narod bijahu se skupili i prešavši preko Jordana bijahu stali u oko u dolini Jezraelu,
34 But the spirit of the Lord came on Gideon; and at the sound of his horn all Abiezer came together after him.
A duh Gospodnji naoruža Gedeona, i on zatrubi u trubu, i skupi oko sebe porodicu Avijezerovu.
35 And he sent through all Manasseh, and they came after him; and he sent to Asher and Zebulun and Naphtali, and they came up and were joined to the others.
I posla glasnike po svemu plemenu Manasijinu, i skupiše se oko njega; posla glasnike i u pleme Asirovo i Zavulonovo i Neftalimovo, te i oni izidoše pred njih.
36 Then Gideon said to God, If you are going to give Israel salvation by my hand, as you have said,
Tada reèe Gedeon Bogu: ako æeš ti izbaviti mojom rukom Izrailja, kao što si rekao,
37 See, I will put the wool of a sheep on the grain-floor; if there is dew on the wool only, while all the earth is dry, then I will be certain that it is your purpose to give Israel salvation by my hand as you have said.
Evo, ja æu metnuti runo na gumnu: ako rosa bude samo na runu a po svoj zemlji suho, onda æu znati da æeš mojom rukom izbaviti Izrailja, kao što si rekao.
38 And it was so: for he got up early on the morning after, and twisting the wool in his hands, he got a basin full of water from the dew on the wool.
I bi tako; jer kad usta sjutradan, iscijedi runo, i isteèe rose iz runa puna zdjela.
39 Then Gideon said to God, Do not be moved to wrath against me if I say only this: let me make one more test with the wool; let the wool now be dry, while the earth is covered with dew.
Opet reèe Gedeon Bogu: nemoj se gnjeviti na me, da progovorim još jednom; da obidem runom još jednom, neka bude samo runo suho, a po svoj zemlji neka bude rosa.
40 And that night God did so; for the wool was dry, and there was dew on all the earth round it.
I Bog uèini tako onu noæ; i bi samo runo suho a po svoj zemlji bi rosa.
