Judges 9
1 Now Abimelech, the son of Jerubbaal, went to Shechem to his mother's family, and said to them and to all the family of his mother's father,
Nebo odšed Abimelech syn Jerobálův do Sichem k bratřím matky své, mluvil k nim i ke vší čeledi domu otce matky své, řka:
2 Say now in the ears of all the townsmen of Shechem, Is it better for you to be ruled by all the seventy sons of Jerubbaal or by one man only? And keep in mind that I am your bone and your flesh.
Mluvte, prosím, ke všechněm mužům Sichemským: Co jest lépe vám, to-li, aby panovalo nad vámi sedmdesáte mužů, totiž všickni synové Jerobálovi, čili aby panoval nad vámi muž jeden? Pamatujte pak, že jsem já kost vaše a tělo vaše.
3 So his mother's family said all this about him in the ears of all the townsmen of Shechem: and their hearts were turned to Abimelech, for they said, He is our brother.
Tedy mluvili bratří matky jeho o něm ke všechněm mužům Sichemským všecka slova tato, a naklonilo se srdce jejich k Abimelechovi, nebo řekli: Bratr náš jest.
4 And they gave him seventy shekels of silver from the house of Baal-berith, with which Abimelech got the support of a number of uncontrolled and good-for-nothing persons.
I dali jemu sedmdesáte lotů stříbra z domu Bále Berit, na něž sobě najal Abimelech služebníky, povaleče a tuláky, aby chodili za ním.
5 Then he went to his father's house at Ophrah, and put his brothers, the seventy sons of Jerubbaal, to death on the same stone; however, Jotham, the youngest, kept himself safe by going away to a secret place.
A přišed do domu otce svého do Ofra, zmordoval bratří své, syny Jerobálovy, sedmdesáte mužů, na jednom kameni; toliko zůstal Jotam syn Jerobálův nejmladší, nebo se byl skryl.
6 And all the townsmen of Shechem and all Beth-millo came together and went and made Abimelech their king, by the oak of the pillar in Shechem.
Tedy shromáždili se všickni muži Sichemští i všecken dům Mello, i šli, a ustanovili sobě Abimelecha za krále na rovinách u sloupu, kterýž jest u Sichem.
7 Now Jotham, on hearing of it, went to the top of Mount Gerizim, and crying out with a loud voice said to them, Give ear to me, you townsmen of Shechem, so that God may give ear to you.
To když pověděli Jotamovi, odejda, postavil se na vrchu hory Garizim, a pozdvihna hlasu svého, volal, a řekl jim: Poslyšte mne muži Sichemští, a uslyš vás Bůh.
8 One day the trees went out to make a king for themselves; and they said to the olive-tree, Be king over us.
Sešlo se některého času dříví, aby pomazalo nad sebou krále. I řekli olivě: Kraluj nad námi.
9 But the olive-tree said to them, Am I to give up my wealth of oil, by which men give honour to God, and go waving over the trees?
Jimžto odpověděla oliva: Zdali já, opustě svou tučnost, kterouž ctěn bývá Bůh i lidé, půjdu, abych byla postavena nad stromy?
10 Then the trees said to the fig-tree, You come and be king over us.
I řeklo dříví fíku: Poď ty a kraluj nad námi.
11 But the fig-tree said to them, Am I to give up my sweet taste and my good fruit and go waving over the trees?
Jimž odpověděl fík: Zdali já, opustě sladkost svou a ovoce své výborné, půjdu, abych postaven byl nad stromy?
12 Then the trees said to the vine, You come and be king over us.
Řeklo opět dříví vinnému kořenu: Poď ty a kraluj nad námi.
13 But the vine said to them, Am I to give up my wine, which makes glad God and men, to go waving over the trees?
Jimž odpověděl vinný kořen: Zdali já, opustě své víno, kteréž obveseluje Boha i lidi, půjdu, abych postaven byl nad stromy?
14 Then all the trees said to the thorn, You come and be king over us.
Naposledy řeklo všecko dříví bodláku: Poď ale ty a kraluj nad námi.
15 And the thorn said to the trees, If it is truly your desire to make me your king, then come and put your faith in my shade; and if not, may fire come out of the thorn, burning up the cedars of Lebanon.
I odpověděl bodlák dříví: Jestliže v pravdě béřete vy mne sobě za krále, poďte, odpočívejte pod stínem mým; pakli nic, vyjdi oheň z bodláku a spal cedry Libánské.
16 So now, if you have done truly and uprightly in making Abimelech king, and if you have done well to Jerubbaal and his house in reward for the work of his hands;
Tak i nyní, jestliže jste právě a upřímě učinili, ustavivše Abimelecha za krále, a jestliže jste dobře učinili Jerobálovi a domu jeho, a jestliže podlé dobrodiní rukou jeho odplatili jste se jemu;
17 (For my father made war for you, and put his life in danger, and made you free from the hands of Midian;
(Nebo otec můj bojoval za vás a opovážil se života svého, aby vás vysvobodil z ruky Madianských,
18 And you have gone against my father's family this day, and have put to death his sons, even seventy men on one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his servant-wife, king over the townsmen of Shechem because he is your brother; )
Vy pak teď povstali jste proti domu otce mého, a zmordovali jste syny jeho, sedmdesáte mužů na jednom kameni, a ustanovili jste krále Abimelecha, syna děvky jeho, nad muži Sichemskými, proto že bratr váš jest);
19 If then you have done what is true and upright to Jerubbaal and his family this day, may you have joy in Abimelech, and may he have joy in you;
Jestliže, řku, právě a upřímě udělali jste Jerobálovi i domu jeho dne tohoto, veselte se z Abimelecha, a on také nechť se veselí z vás;
20 But if not, may fire come out from Abimelech, burning up the townsmen of Shechem and Beth-millo; and may fire come out from the townsmen of Shechem and Beth-millo, for the destruction of Abimelech.
Pakli nic, nechť vyjde oheň z Abimelecha a sžíře muže Sichemské i dům Mello, nechť vyjde také oheň od mužů Sichemských a z domu Mello a sžíře Abimelecha.
21 Then Jotham straight away went in flight to Beer, and was living there for fear of his brother Abimelech.
Tedy utekl Jotam, a utíkaje, odšel do Beera, a zůstal tam, boje se Abimelecha bratra svého.
22 So Abimelech was chief over Israel for three years.
I panoval Abimelech nad Izraelem tři léta.
23 And God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the townsmen of Shechem; and the townsmen of Shechem were false to Abimelech;
Poslal pak Bůh ducha zlého mezi Abimelecha a mezi muže Sichemské, a zpronevěřili se muži Sichemští Abimelechovi,
24 So that punishment for the violent attack made on the seventy sons of Jerubbaal, and for their blood, might come on Abimelech, their brother, who put them to death, and on the townsmen of Shechem who gave him their help in putting his brothers to death.
Aby pomštěna byla křivda sedmdesáti synů Jerobálových, a aby krev jejich přišla na Abimelecha bratra jejich, kterýž zmordoval je, a na muže Sichemské, kteříž posilnili rukou jeho, aby zmordoval bratří své.
25 And the townsmen of Shechem put secret watchers on the tops of the mountains, and they made attacks on all who went by on the road and took their goods; and word of this came to Abimelech.
Nebo učinili muži Sichemští jemu zálohy na vrších hor, a loupili všecky chodíci mimo ně tou cestou; kterážto věc povědína jest Abimelechovi.
26 Then Gaal, the son of Ebed, came with his brothers, and went over to Shechem; and the men of Shechem put their faith in him.
Syn pak Ebedův Gál, jda s bratřími svými, přišel do Sichem, i těšili se z něho muži Sichemští.
27 And they went out into their fields and got in the fruit of their vines, and when the grapes had been crushed, they made a holy feast and went into the house of their god, and over their food and drink they were cursing Abimelech.
A vyšedše na pole, sbírali víno své a tlačili i veselili se; a všedše do chrámu bohů svých, jedli a pili, a zlořečili Abimelechovi.
28 And Gaal, the son of Ebed, said, Who is Abimelech and who is Shechem, that we are to be his servants? Is it not right for the son of Jerubbaal and Zebul his captain to be servants to the men of Hamor, the father of Shechem? But why are we to be his servants?
Řekl pak Gál syn Ebedův: Kdo jest Abimelech? A jaké jest Sichem, abychom sloužili jemu? Zdaliž není syn Jerobálův, a Zebul úředník jeho? Služte raději mužům Emora, otce Sichemova; nebo proč my máme sloužiti tomuto?
29 If only I had authority over this people! I would put Abimelech out of the way, and I would say to Abimelech, Make your army strong, and come out.
Ale ó kdyby tento lid byl v ruce mé, abych shladil Abimelecha! I řekl Abimelechovi: Sbeř sobě vojsko, a vyjdi.
30 Now Zebul, the ruler of the town, hearing what Gaal, the son of Ebed, had said, was moved to wrath.
Uslyšav pak Zebul, úředník města toho, slova Gále syna Ebedova, rozhněval se náramně.
31 And he sent to Abimelech at Arumah, saying, See, Gaal, the son of Ebed, and his brothers have come to Shechem, and they are working up the town against you.
I poslal posly k Abimelechovi tajně, řka: Hle, Gál syn Ebedův i bratří jeho přišli do Sichem, a hle, bojovati budou s městem proti tobě.
32 So now, get up by night, you and your people, and keep watch in the field secretly;
Protož nyní vstana nočně, ty i lid, kterýž jest s tebou, zdělej zálohy v poli.
33 And in the morning, when the sun is up, get up early and make a rush on the town; and when he and his people come out against you, do to them whatever you have a chance to do.
A ráno, když bude slunce vycházeti, vstana, udeříš na město, a když on i lid, kterýž jest s ním, vyjde proti tobě, učiníš jemu to, což se naskytne ruce tvé.
34 So Abimelech and the people with him got up by night, in four bands, to make a surprise attack on Shechem.
A protož vstal Abimelech i všecken lid, kterýž s ním byl v noci, a učinili zálohy u Sichem na čtyřech místech.
35 And Gaal, the son of Ebed, went out, and took his place at the doorway into the town; then Abimelech and his people got up from the place where they had been waiting.
I vyšel Gál syn Ebedův, a postavil se v bráně města; vyvstal pak Abimelech i lid, kterýž s ním byl, z záloh.
36 And when Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul, See! people are coming down from the tops of the mountains. And Zebul said to him, You see the shade of the mountains like men.
A uzřev Gál ten lid, řekl Zebulovi: Hle, lid sstupuje s vrchu hor. Jemuž odpověděl Zebul: Stín hor vidíš, jako nějaké lidi.
37 And Gaal said again, See! people are coming down from the middle of the land, and one band is coming by way of the oak-tree of the Seers.
Tedy opět promluvil Gál, řka: Hle, lid sstupuje s vrchu, nebo houf jeden táhne cestou rovin Monenim.
38 Then Zebul said to him, Now where is your loud talk when you said, Who is Abimelech that we are to be his servants? Is this not the people whom you were rating so low? Go out now, and make war on them.
Řekl pak jemu Zebul: Kde jsou nyní ústa tvá, jimižs mluvil: Kdo jest Abimelech, abychom sloužili jemu? Zdaliž toto není lid ten, kterýmž jsi pohrdal? Vytáhniž nyní, a bojuj proti němu.
39 So Gaal went out at the head of the townsmen of Shechem and made war on Abimelech.
I vytáhl Gál před lidmi Sichemskými, a bojoval proti Abimelechovi.
40 And Abimelech went after him and he went in flight before him; and a great number were falling by the sword all the way up to the town.
Ale Abimelech honil ho utíkajícího před tváří svou, a padlo raněných mnoho až k bráně.
41 Then Abimelech went back to Arumah; and Zebul sent Gaal and his brothers away and would not let them go on living in Shechem.
Zůstal pak Abimelech v Aruma, a Zebul vyhnal Gále i bratří jeho, aby nezůstávali v Sichem.
42 Now the day after, the people went out into the fields; and news of it came to Abimelech.
Nazejtří pak vytáhl lid do pole, i oznámeno jest to Abimelechovi.
43 And he took his people, separating them into three bands, and was waiting secretly in the field; and when he saw the people coming out of the town, he went up and made an attack on them.
Tedy on pojal lid svůj, a rozdělil jej na tři houfy, zdělav zálohy v polích, a vida, an lid vychází z města, vyskočil na ně a zbil je.
44 And Abimelech with his band made a rush, and took up their position at the doorway into the town; and the other two bands made a rush on all those who were in the fields, and overcame them.
Nebo Abimelech a houf, kterýž byl s ním, udeřili na ně a postavili se u brány města, druzí pak dva houfové obořili se na všecky ty, kteříž byli v poli, a zbili je.
45 And all that day Abimelech was fighting against the town; and he took it, and put to death the people who were in it, and had the town pulled down and covered with salt.
Abimelech pak dobýval města celý ten den, až ho i dobyl, a lid, kterýž v něm byl, pobil, a zbořiv město, posál je solí.
46 Then all the townsmen of the tower of Shechem, hearing of it, went into the inner room of the house of El-berith.
Uslyševše pak všickni muži věže Sichemské, vešli do hradu svého, chrámu boha Berit.
47 And word was given to Abimelech that all the men of the tower of Shechem were there together.
A oznámeno jest Abimelechovi, že se tam shromáždili všickni muži věže Sichemské.
48 Then Abimelech went up to Mount Zalmon, with all his people; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand and, cutting down branches of trees, took them and put them on his back. And he said to the people who were with him, Be quick and do as you have seen me do.
Tedy vstoupil Abimelech na horu Salmon, on i všecken lid, kterýž byl s ním, a nabrav seker s sebou, nasekal ratolestí s stromů, kterýchž nabral a vložil na rameno své. I řekl lidu, kterýž byl s ním: Což jste viděli, že jsem učinil, spěšně učiňte tak jako já.
49 So all the people got branches, every man cutting down a branch, and they went with Abimelech at their head and, massing the branches against the inner room, put fire to the room over them; so all those who were in the tower of Shechem, about a thousand men and women, were burned to death with it.
I uťal sobě jeden každý ze všeho lidu ratolest, a jdouce za Abimelechem, skladli je u hradu, a zapálili jimi hrad. I zemřeli tam všickni muži věže Sichemské téměř tisíc mužů a žen.
50 Then Abimelech went to Thebez, and put his army in position against Thebez and took it.
Odšel pak Abimelech do Tébes, a položil se u Tébes, i dobyl ho.
51 But in the middle of the town there was a strong tower, to which all the men and women of the town went in flight and, shutting themselves in, went up to the roof of the tower.
Byla pak věže pevná u prostřed města, a utekli tam všickni muži i ženy, i všickni přední města toho, a zavřeli po sobě, vstoupivše na vrch věže.
52 And Abimelech came to the tower and made an attack on it, and got near to the door of the tower for the purpose of firing it.
Tehdy přišed Abimelech až k věži, dobýval jí, a přistoupil až ke dveřím věže, aby je zapálil ohněm.
53 But a certain woman sent a great stone, such as is used for crushing grain, on to the head of Abimelech, cracking the bone.
V tom žena nějaká svrhla kus žernovu na hlavu Abimelechovu, a prorazila hlavu jeho.
54 Then quickly crying out to his body-servant, he said to him, Take out your sword and put an end to me straight away, so that men may not say of me, His death was the work of a woman. So the young man put his sword through him, causing his death.
A on rychle zavolav mládence, kterýž nosil zbroj jeho, řekl jemu: Vytrhni meč svůj a zabí mne, aby potom nepravili o mně: Žena zabila ho. I probodl jej služebník jeho, a umřel.
55 And when the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, they went away, every man to his place.
Uzřevše pak synové Izraelští, že by umřel Abimelech, odešli jeden každý k místu svému.
56 In this way Abimelech was rewarded by God for the evil he had done to his father in putting his seventy brothers to death;
A tak odměnil Bůh zlým Abimelechovi za nešlechetnost, kterouž páchal proti otci svému, zmordovav sedmdesáte bratří svých.
57 And God sent back on to the heads of the men of Shechem all the evil they had done, and the curse of Jotham, the son of Jerubbaal, came on them.
Tolikéž i všecku nešlechetnost mužů Sichemských vrátil Bůh na hlavu jejich, a přišlo na ně zlořečení Jotama syna Jerobálova.
