Judges 9
1 And Abimelech son of Jerobaal went to Sychem to his mother's brethren; and he spoke to them and to all the kindred of the house of his mother's father, saying,
Jerubáalov sin Abiméleh je šel do Sihema, do bratov svoje matere in se z njimi posvetoval in z vso družino hiše očeta svoje matere, rekoč:
2 Speak, I pray you, in the ears of all the men of Sychem, saying, Which [is] better for you, that seventy men, even all the sons of Jerobaal, should reign over you, or that one man should reign over you? and remember that I am your bone and your flesh.
»Govorite, prosim vas, na ušesa vsem sihemskim gospodarjem: ›Ali je za vas bolje, da vsi Jerubáalovi sinovi, katerih je sedemdeset oseb, kraljujejo nad vami ali da nad vami kraljuje eden? Spomnite se tudi, da sem jaz vaša kost in vaše meso.‹«
3 And his mother's brethren spoke concerning him in the ears of all the men of Sychem all these words; and their heart turned after Abimelech, for they said, He is our brother.
Bratje njegove matere so vse te besede o njem govorili v ušesa vseh sihemskih gospodarjev in njihova srca nagnili, da sledijo Abimélehu, kajti rekli so: »On je naš brat.«
4 And they gave him seventy [pieces] of silver out of the house of Baalberith; and Abimelech hired for himself vain and cowardly men, and they went after him.
Iz hiše Baal-berita so mu dali sedemdeset koščkov srebra, s katerimi je Abiméleh najel prazno-glave in nepomembne osebe, ki so mu sledili.
5 And he went to the house of his father to Ephratha, and slew his brethren the sons of Jerobaal, seventy men upon one stone; but Joatham the youngest son of Jerobaal was left, for he hid himself.
Odšel je v hišo svojega očeta pri Ofri in na enem kamnu usmrtil svoje brate, Jerubáalove sinove, ki jih je bilo sedemdeset oseb. Kljub temu pa je ostal najmlajši Jerubáalov sin Jotám, kajti ta se je skril.
6 And all the men of Sicima, and all the house of Bethmaalo, were gathered together, and they went and made Abimelech king by the oak of Sedition, which was at Sicima.
Vsi sihemski gospodarji so se zbrali skupaj in vsa Milójeva hiša in odšli ter Abiméleha postavili za kralja pri ravninskem stebru, ki je bil v Sihemu.
7 And it was reported to Joatham, and he went and stood on the top of mount Garizin, and lifted up his voice, and wept, and said to them, Hear me, ye men of Sicima, and God shall hear you.
Ko so to povedali Jotámu, je ta odšel in se postavil na vrhu gore Garizím, povzdignil svoj glas, zavpil in jim rekel: »Prisluhnite mi, vi sihemski gospodarji, da bo Bog lahko prisluhnil vam.
8 The trees went forth on a time to anoint a king over them; and they said to the olive, Reign over us.
Drevesa so šla naprej ob času, da mazilijo kralja nad seboj in rekla so oljki: ›Kraljuj nad nami.‹
9 But the olives said to them, Shall I leave my fatness, with which men shall glorify God, and go to be promoted over the trees?
Toda oljka jim je rekla: ›Mar naj zapustim svojo mastnost, s katero po meni častijo Boga in človeka in grem, da bi bila povišana nad drevesa?‹
10 And the trees said to the fig-tree, Come, reign over us.
Drevesa so rekla figovemu drevesu: ›Ti pridi in kraljuj nad nami.‹
11 But the fig-tree said to them, Shall I leave my sweetness an my good fruits, and go to be promoted over the trees?
Toda figovo drevo jim je reklo: ›Mar naj zapustim svojo sladkost in svoj dober sad in grem, da bi bilo povišano nad drevesa?‹
12 And the trees said to the vine, Come, reign over us.
Potem so drevesa rekla trti: ›Ti pridi in kraljuj nad nami.‹
13 And the vine said to them, Shall I leave my wine that cheers God and men, and go to be promoted over the trees?
Trta pa jim je rekla: ›Mar naj zapustim svoje vino, ki razveseljuje Boga in človeka in grem, da naj bi bila povišana nad drevesa?‹
14 Then all the trees said to the bramble, Come thou and [reign] over us.
Potem so vsa drevesa rekla trnovemu grmu: ›Ti pridi in kraljuj nad nami.‹
15 And the bramble said to the trees, If ye in truth anoint me to reign over you, come, stand under my shadow; and if not, let fire come out from me and devour the cedars of Libanus.
Trnov grm je rekel drevesom: ›Če me resnično mazilite za kralja nad seboj, potem pridite in svoje zaupanje položite v mojo senco, in če ne, naj ogenj pride iz trnovega grma in použije libanonske cedre.‹
16 And now, if ye have done it in truth and integrity, and have made Abimelech king, and if ye have wrought well with Jerobaal, and with his house, and if ye have done to him according to the reward of his hand,
Zdaj torej, če ste storili resnično in iskreno v tem, da ste si postavili Abiméleha za kralja in če ste dobro postopali z Jerubáalom in njegovo hišo in mu storili glede na ravnanje njegovih rok
17 as my father fought for you, and put his life in jeopardy, and delivered you out of the hand of Madiam;
(kajti moj oče se je bojeval za vas in v ospredju tvegal svoje življenje in vas osvobodil iz roke Midjáncev
18 and ye are risen up this day against the house of my father, and have slain his sons, being seventy men, upon one stone, and have made Abimelech the son of his bondwoman king over the men of Sicima, because he is your brother:
in ste ta dan vstali zoper hišo mojega očeta in umorili njegove sinove, sedemdeset oseb na enem kamnu in postavili Abiméleha, sina njegove dekle, za kralja nad sihemskimi gospodarji, ker je vaš brat).
19 if then ye have done truly and faithfully with Jerobaal, and with his house this day, rejoice ye in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice over you:
Če ste torej ta dan resnično in iskreno postopali z Jerubáalom in njegovo hišo, potem se veselite z Abimélehom in naj se tudi on veseli z vami.
20 but if not, let fire come out from Abimelech, and devour the men of Sicima, and the house of Bethmaalo; and let fire come out from the men of Sicima and from the house of Bethmaalo, and devour Abimelech.
Toda če ne, naj ogenj pride od Abiméleha in pogoltne sihemske gospodarje in Milójevo hišo. In ogenj naj pride od sihemskih gospodarjev in od Milójeve hiše in požre Abiméleha.
21 And Joatham fled, and ran away, and went as far as Baeer, and dwelt there out of the way of his brother Abimelech.
Jotám je stekel proč, pobegnil in odšel v Beêr in tam prebival zaradi strahu pred svojim bratom Abimélehom.
22 And Abimelech reigned over Israel three years.
Ko je Abiméleh tri leta kraljeval nad Izraelom,
23 And God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Sicima; and the men of Sicima dealt treacherously with the house of Abimelech:
je potem Bog med Abiméleha in sihemske gospodarje poslal zlega duha in sihemski gospodarji so zahrbtno postopali z Abimélehom,
24 to bring the injury done to the seventy sons of Jerobaal, and to lay their blood upon their brother Abimelech, who slew them, and upon the men of Sicima, because they strengthened his hands to slay his brethren.
da bi ta krutost, storjena sedemdesetim Jerubáalovim sinovom lahko prišla in bi bila njihova kri položena na njihovega brata Abiméleha, ki jih je umoril in na sihemske gospodarje, ki so mu pomagali pri morjenju njegovih bratov.
25 And the men of Sicima set liers in wait against him on the top of the mountains, and robbed every one who passed by them on the way; and it was reported to the king Abimelech.
Sihemski gospodarji so zanj postavili prežavce v zasedi na vrhu gora in ti so oropali vse, ki so mimo njih prišli po tej poti, in to je bilo povedano Abimélehu.
26 And Gaal son of Jobel came, and his brethren, and passed by Sicima, and the men of Sicima trusted in him.
Ebedov sin Gáal je prišel s svojimi brati in odšel preko v Sihem in sihemski gospodarji so svoje zaupanje položili vanj.
27 And they went out into the field, and gathered their grapes, and trod them, and made merry; and they brought [the grapes] into the house of their god, and ate and drank, and cursed Abimelech.
Odšli so ven na polja in obrali svoje vinograde in tlačili grozdje in se veselili in odšli v hišo svojega boga, jedli, pili in preklinjali Abiméleha.
28 And Gaal the son of Jobel said, Who is Abimelech, and who is the son of Sychem, that we should serve him? [Is he] not the son of Jerobaal, and [is] not Zebul his steward, his servant with the son of Emmor the father of Sychem? and why should we serve him?
Ebedov sin Gáal je rekel: »Kdo je Abiméleh in kdo je Sihem, da bi mu služili? Mar ni on Jerubáalov sin? In Zebúl njegov častnik? Služite možem Sihemovega očeta Hamórja, kajti zakaj bi mi služili njemu?
29 And would that this people were under my hand! then would I remove Abimelech, and I would say to him, Multiply thy host, and come out.
Bog daj, da bi bilo to ljudstvo pod mojo roko! Potem bi odstranil Abiméleha.« In Abimélehu je rekel: »Okrepi svojo vojsko in pridi ven.«
30 And Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal the son of Jobel, and he was very angry.
Ko je Zebúl, vladar mesta, slišal besede Ebedovega sina Gáala, je bila njegova jeza vžgana.
31 And he sent messengers to Abimelech secretly, saying, Behold, Gaal the son of Jobel and his brethren are come to Sychem; and behold, they have besieged the city against thee.
Na skrivnem je poslal poslance k Abimélehu, rekoč: »Glej, Ebedov sin Gáal in njegovi bratje so prišli v Sihem in glej, zoper tebe utrjujejo mesto.
32 And now rise up by night, thou and the people with thee, and lay wait in the field.
Zdaj se torej dvigni ponoči ti in ljudstvo, ki je s teboj in na polju prežite v zasedi
33 And it shall come to pass in the morning at sunrising, thou shalt rise up early and draw toward the city; and behold, he and the people with him will come forth against thee, and thou shalt do to him according to thy power.
in zgodilo se bo, da zjutraj, takoj ko bo sonce vzšlo, da boš zgodaj vstal in se nameril na mesto. In glej, ko bodo on in ljudstvo, ki je z njim, prišli ven zoper tebe, potem jim boš lahko storil kakor boš našel priložnost.«
34 And Abimelech and all the people with him rose up by night, and formed an ambuscade against Sychem in four companies.
Abiméleh je ponoči vstal in vse ljudstvo, ki je bilo z njim in so v štirih skupinah prežali zoper Sihem.
35 And Gaal the son of Jobel went forth, and stood by the door of the gate of the city: and Abimelech and the people with him rose up from the ambuscade.
Ebedov sin Gáal je odšel ven in stal v vhodu velikih vrat mesta. Abiméleh in ljudstvo, ki je bilo z njim, pa je vstalo od prežanja.
36 And Gaal the son of Jobel saw the people, and said to Zebul, Behold, a people comes down from the top of the mountains: and Zebul said to him, Thou seest the shadow of the mountains as men.
Ko je Gáal zagledal ljudstvo, je rekel Zebúlu: »Glej, tam prihaja ljudstvo dol iz vrha gorovja.« Zebúl mu je rekel: »Senco gorovja vidiš, kakor bi bili možje.«
37 And Gaal continued to speak and said, Behold, a people comes down westward from the part bordering on the middle of the land, and another company comes by the way of Helon Maonenim.
Gáal je ponovno spregovoril in rekel: »Vidiš, tam prihaja dol ljudstvo po sredi dežele in druga skupina prihaja vzdolž ravnine Maonim.«
38 And Zebul said to him, And where is thy mouth as thou spokest, Who is Abimelech that we should serve him? [Is] not this the people whom thou despisedst? go forth now, and set the battle in array against him.
Potem mu je Zebúl rekel: »Kje so sedaj tvoja usta, s katerimi praviš: ›Kdo je Abiméleh, da bi mu služili?‹ Mar ni to ljudstvo, ki si ga preziral? Pojdi sedaj ven, prosim te in se bori z njimi.«
39 And Gaal went forth before the men of Sychem, and set the battle in array against Abimelech.
Gáal je odšel ven pred sihemskimi gospodarji in se boril z Abimélehom.
40 And Abimelech pursued him, and he fled from before him; and many fell down slain as far as the door of the gate.
Abiméleh ga je pregnal in ta je pobegnil pred njim in mnogi so bili zrušeni in ranjeni, celó do vhoda velikih vrat.
41 And Abimelech entered into Arema, and Zebul cast out Gaal and his brethren, so that they should not dwell in Sychem.
Abiméleh je prebival pri Arúmi, Zebúl pa je vrgel ven Gáala in njegove brate, da ne bi prebivali v Sihemu.
42 And it came to pass on the second day that the people went out into the field, and [one] brought word to Abimelech.
Naslednji dan se je pripetilo, da je ljudstvo odšlo ven na polje in povedali so Abimélehu.
43 And he took the people, and divided them into three companies, and formed an ambush in the field; and he looked, and, behold, the people went forth out of the city, and he rose up against them, and smote them.
Ta je vzel ljudstvo in jih razdelil v tri skupine. Na polju so prežali v zasedi in glej, ljudstvo je prišlo ven iz mesta. Vstal je zoper njih in jih udaril.
44 And Abimelech and the chiefs of companies that were with him rushed forward, and stood by the door of the gate of the city; and the two [other] companies rushed forward upon all that were in the field, and smote them.
Abiméleh in skupina, ki je bila z njim, je pohitela naprej in stala na vhodu velikih vrat mesta in dve drugi skupini sta stekli nad vse ljudstvo, ki je bilo na poljih in jih usmrtili.
45 And Abimelech fought against the city all that day, and took the city, and slew the people that were in it, and destroyed the city, and sowed it with salt.
Abiméleh se je ves tisti dan boril zoper mesto, zavzel mesto, usmrtil ljudstvo, ki je bilo v njem, premagal mesto in ga potresel s soljo.
46 And all the men of the tower of Sychem heard, and came to the gathering of Baethel-berith.
Ko so vsi gospodarji sihemskega stolpa to slišali, so vstopili v trdnjavo hiše boga Berita.
47 And it was reported to Abimelech, that all the men of the tower of Sychem were gathered together.
To je bilo povedano Abimélehu, da so bili vsi gospodarji sihemskega stolpa zbrani skupaj.
48 And Abimelech went up to the mount of Selmon, and all the people that were with him; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a branch of a tree, and took it, and laid it on his shoulders; and said to the people that were with him, What ye see me doing, do quickly as I.
Abiméleh se je povzpel na goro Calmón, on in vse ljudstvo, ki je bilo z njim in Abiméleh je v svojo roko vzel sekiro, odsekal vejo iz dreves, jo vzel in jo položil na svojo ramo in rekel ljudstvu, ki je bilo z njim: »Kar ste videli storiti mene, pohitite in storite, kakor sem storil jaz.«
49 And they cut down likewise even every man a branch, and went after Abimelech, and laid them against the place of gathering, and burnt the place of gathering over them with fire; and they died, even all the men of the tower of Sicima, about a thousand men and women.
Podobno je vse ljudstvo odsekalo vsak svojo vejo, sledilo Abimélehu, jih položili k trdnjavi in zažgali trdnjavo nad njimi. Tako da so umrli tudi vsi ljudje iz sihemskega stolpa, okoli tisoč mož in žena.
50 And Abimelech went out of Baethel-berith, and encamped against Thebes, and took it.
Potem je Abiméleh odšel v Tebéc, se utaboril zoper Tebéc in ga zavzel.
51 And there was a strong tower in the midst of the city; and thither all the men and the women of the city fled, and shut [the door] without them, and went up on the roof of the tower.
Toda tam, znotraj mesta, je bil močan stolp in tja so pobegnili vsi možje in žene in vsi iz mesta in ga za seboj zaprli in se spravili na vrh stolpa.
52 And Abimelech drew near to the tower, and they besieged it; and Abimelech drew near to the door of the tower to burn it with fire.
Abiméleh je prišel k stolpu, se boril zoper njega in se približal vratom stolpa, da bi ga zažgal z ognjem.
53 And a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon the head of Abimelech, and broke his skull.
Neka ženska je kos mlinskega kamna vrgla na Abimélehovo glavo in razbila njegovo lobanjo.
54 And he cried out quickly to the young man his armour-bearer, and said to him, Draw thy sword, and slay me, lest at any time they should say, A woman slew him: and his young man thrust him through and he died.
Potem je naglo zaklical k mladeniču, svojemu nosilcu bojne opreme in mu rekel: »Izvleci svoj meč in me usmrti, da ne bodo ljudje o meni rekli: ›Ubila ga je ženska.‹« In njegov mladenič ga je prebodel in ta je umrl.
55 And the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead; and they went each to his place.
Ko so možje iz Izraela videli, da je bil Abiméleh mrtev, so odšli vsak mož na svoj kraj.
56 So God requited the wickedness of Abimelech, which he wrought against his father, in slaying his seventy brethren.
Tako je Bog povrnil Abimélehovo zlobnost, ki jo je storil svojemu očetu z umorom svojih sedemdesetih bratov
57 And all the wickedness of the men of Sychem God requited upon their head; and the curse of Joatham the son of Jerobaal came upon them.
in vse zlo sihemskih ljudi je Bog povrnil na njihove glave in nadnje je prišlo prekletstvo Jerubáalovega sina Jotáma.
