Judges 11
1 Then Gilead begate Iphtah, and Iphtah the Gileadite was a valiant man, but the sonne of an harlot.
Torej Gileádec Jefte je bil mogočen hraber človek in bil je sin pocestnice; in Gileád je zaplodil Jefteja.
2 And Gileads wife bare him sonnes, and when the womans children were come to age, they thrust out Iphtah, and sayd vnto him, Thou shalt not inherite in our fathers house: for thou art the sonne of a strange woman.
Gileádova žena mu je rodila sinove in sinovi njegove žene so zrasli in pregnali Jefteja ter mu rekli: »Ne boš dedoval v hiši našega očeta, kajti ti si sin tuje ženske.«
3 Then Iphtah fledde from his brethren, and dwelt in the land of Tob: and there gathered idle fellowes to Iphtah, and went out with him.
Potem je Jefte pobegnil pred svojimi brati in prebival v deželi Tob. Tam pa so bili k Jefteju zbrani praznoglavi možje in z njim odšli ven.
4 And in processe of time the children of Ammon made warre with Israel.
In pripetilo se je tekom časa, da so Amónovi otroci začeli vojno zoper Izrael.
5 And when the children of Ammon fought with Israel, the Elders of Gilead went to fet Iphtah out of the land of Tob.
Bilo je tako, da ko so Amónovi otroci začeli vojno zoper Izrael, so starešine iz Gileáda odšli, da Jefteja pripeljejo iz dežele Tob.
6 And they saide vnto Iphtah, Come and be our captaine, that we may fight with the children of Ammon.
Jefteju so rekli: »Pridi in bodi naš poveljnik, da se bomo lahko borili z Amónovimi otroki.«
7 Iphtah then answered the Elders of Gilead, Did not ye hate me, and expell me out of my fathers house? how then come you vnto me now in time of your tribulation?
Jefte je rekel starešinam iz Gileáda: »Ali me niste sovražili in pregnali iz hiše mojega očeta? Zakaj ste prišli k meni sedaj, ko ste v stiski?«
8 Then the Elders of Gilead saide vnto Iphtah, Therefore we turne againe to thee now, that thou mayest goe with vs, and fight against the children of Ammon, and bee our head ouer all the inhabitants of Gilead.
Starešine iz Gileáda so Jefteju rekli: »Zato se sedaj ponovno obračamo k tebi, da boš lahko šel z nami in se boril zoper Amónove otroke in boš naš poglavar nad vsemi prebivalci Gileáda.«
9 And Iphtah said vnto the Elders of Gilead, If ye bring me home againe to fight against the children of Ammon, if the Lord giue them before me, shall I be your head?
Jefte je rekel starešinam iz Gileáda: »Če me ponovno privedete domov, da se borim zoper Amónove otroke in jih Gospod izroči pred menoj, ali bom vaš poglavar?«
10 And the Elders of Gilead saide to Iphtah, The Lord be witnesse betweene vs, if we doe not according to thy wordes.
Starešine iz Gileáda so rekli Jefteju: » Gospod bodi priča med nami, če ne storimo tako glede na tvoje besede.«
11 Then Iphtah went with the Elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and captaine ouer them: and Iphtah rehearsed all his wordes before the Lord in Mizpeh.
Potem je Jefte odšel s starešinami iz Gileáda in ljudstvo ga je postavilo za poglavarja in poveljnika nad njimi in Jefte je vse svoje besede izrekel pred Gospodom v Micpi.
12 Then Iphtah sent messengers vnto the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What hast thou to doe with me, that thou art come against me, to fight in my lande?
Jefte je poslal poslance h kralju Amónovih otrok, rekoč: »Kaj imaš z menoj, da si prišel zoper mene, da se boriš v moji deželi?«
13 And the King of the children of Ammon answered vnto the messengers of Iphtah, Because Israel tooke my lande, when they came vp from Egypt, from Arnon vnto Iabbok, and vnto Iorden: now therefore restore those lands quietly.
Kralj Amónovih otrok je Jeftejevim poslancem odgovoril: »Ker je Izrael odvzel mojo deželo, ko so prišli gor iz Egipta, od Arnóna, celo do Jabóka in do Jordana. Sedaj torej ponovno miroljubno povrni te dežele.«
14 Yet Iphtah sent messengers againe vnto the King of the children of Ammon,
Jefte je ponovno poslal poslance h kralju Amónovih otrok
15 And said vnto him, Thus saith Iphtah, Israel tooke not the lande of Moab, nor the lande of the children of Ammon.
in mu rekel: »Tako govori Jefte: ›Izrael ni odvzel moábske dežele niti dežele Amónovih otrok,
16 But when Israel came vp from Egypt, and walked through the wildernesse vnto the redde Sea, then they came to Kadesh.
temveč ko je Izrael prišel gor iz Egipta in skozi divjino hodil do Rdečega morja in prišel do Kadeša,
17 And Israel sent messengers vnto the king of Edom, saying, Let me, I pray thee, goe thorowe thy lande: but the King of Edom woulde not consent: and also they sent vnto the King of Moab, but he would not: therefore Israel abode in Kadesh.
potem je Izrael poslal poslance k edómskemu kralju, rekoč: ›Pusti mi, prosim te, iti skozi tvojo deželo.‹ Toda edómski kralj temu ni hotel prisluhniti. In na podoben način so poslali k moábskemu kralju. Toda ta ni hotel privoliti in Izrael je ostal v Kadešu.
18 Then they went through the wildernesse, and compassed the lande of Edom, and the lande of Moab, and came by the Eastside of the lande of Moab, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, and came not within the coast of Moab: for Arnon was the border of Moab.
Potem so šli vzdolž skozi divjino in obkrožili edómsko deželo in moábsko deželo in prišli pri vzhodni strani moábske dežele in se utaborili na drugi strani Arnóna, toda niso prišli znotraj moábske meje, kajti Arnón je bil moábska meja.
19 Also Israel sent messengers vnto Sihon, King of the Amorites, the King of Heshbon, and Israel said vnto him, Let vs passe, we pray thee, by thy lande vnto our place.
Izrael je poslal poslance k Sihónu, kralju Amoréjcev, hešbónskemu kralju. Izrael mu je rekel: ›Naj gremo, prosim te, skozi tvojo deželo na svoj kraj.‹
20 But Sihon consented not to Israel, that he shoulde goe through his coast: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and pitched in Iahaz, and fought with Israel.
Toda Sihón ni zaupal Izraelu, da gre skozi njegovo pokrajino, temveč je Sihón zbral skupaj vse svoje ljudstvo, se utaboril v Jahacu in se boril zoper Izrael.
21 And the Lord God of Israel gaue Sihon and all his folke into the handes of Israel, and they smote them: so Israel possessed all the lande of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that countrey:
Gospod, Izraelov Bog, je Sihóna in vse njegovo ljudstvo izročil v roko Izraelcev in ti so jih udarili. Tako je Izrael vzel v last vso deželo Amoréjcev, prebivalcev tiste dežele.
22 And they possessed all the coast of the Amorites, from Arnon vnto Iabbok, and from the wildernesse euen vnto Iorden.
V last so vzeli vse pokrajine Amoréjcev, od Arnóna, celo do Jabóka in od divjine, celo do Jordana.
23 Nowe therefore the Lord God of Israel hath cast out the Amorites before his people Israel, and shouldest thou possesse it?
Tako je torej Gospod, Izraelov Bog, Amoréjce razlastil izpred svojega ljudstva Izraela in ti naj bi to vzel v last?
24 Wouldest not thou possesse that which Chemosh thy god giueth thee to possesse? So whomesoeuer the Lord our God driueth out before vs, them will we possesse.
Ali ne boš vzel v last tega, kar ti tvoj bog Kemoš daje v last? Tako kogarkoli bo Gospod, naš Bog, napodil izpred nas, te bomo vzeli v last.
25 And art thou nowe farre better then Balak the sonne of Zippor King of Moab? did he not striue with Israel and fight against them,
In sedaj ali si ti kakorkoli boljši kakor Balák, Cipórjev sin, moábski kralj? Ali se je on kdaj prepiral zoper Izrael, ali se je kdaj boril zoper njih,
26 When Israel dwelt in Heshbon and in her townes, and in Aroer and in her townes, and in all the cities that are by the coastes of Arnon, three hundreth yeeres? why did ye not then recouer them in that space?
medtem ko je Izrael tristo let prebival v Hešbónu in njegovih mestih, v Aroêrju in njegovih mestih in v vseh mestih, ki so vzdolž ob pokrajinah Arnóna? Zakaj jih torej niste povrnili znotraj tega časa?
27 Wherefore, I haue not offended thee: but thou doest me wrong to warre against me. The Lord the Iudge be iudge this day betweene the children of Israel, and the children of Ammon.
Zato nisem grešil zoper tebe, temveč mi ti delaš krivico, da se vojskuješ zoper mene. Gospod, Sodnik, naj bo danes sodnik med Izraelovi otroci in Amónovimi otroci.‹«
28 Howbeit the King of the children of Ammon hearkened not vnto the wordes of Iphtah, which he had sent him.
Vendar kralj Amónovih otrok ni prisluhnil Jeftejevim besedam, ki mu jih je poslal.
29 Then the Spirite of the Lord came vpon Iphtah, and he passed ouer to Gilead and to Manasseh, and came to Mizpeh in Gilead, and from Mizpeh in Gilead he went vnto the children of Ammon.
Potem je Gospodov Duh prišel nad Jefteja in ta je prečkal Gileád in Manáse in šel čez Micpo v Gileádu in iz Micpe v Gileádu prečkal k Amónovim otrokom.
30 And Iphtah vowed a vowe vnto the Lord, and said, If thou shalt deliuer the children of Ammon into mine handes,
Jefte je prisegel zaobljubo Gospodu in rekel: »Če mi boš čisto gotovo izročil Amónove sinove v moje roke,
31 Then that thing that commeth out of the doores of mine house to meete me, when I come home in peace from the children of Ammon, shall be the Lordes, and I will offer it for a burnt offering.
potem se bo zgodilo, da kdorkoli pride naprej od vrat moje hiše, da bi me srečal, ko se v miru vrnem od Amónovih otrok, bo zagotovo Gospodov in daroval ga bom za žgalno daritev.«
32 And so Iphtah went vnto the children of Ammon to fight against them, and the Lord deliuered them into his handes.
Tako je Jefte prešel preko k Amónovim otrokom, da se bori zoper njih in Gospod jih je izročil v njegove roke.
33 And he smote them from Aroer euen till thou come to Minnith, twentie cities, and so foorth to Abel of the vineyardes, with an exceeding great slaughter. Thus the children of Ammon were humbled before the children of Israel.
Udaril jih je od Aroêrja, celo dokler ne prideš v Minít, celó dvajset mest in do ravnine vinogradov, z zelo velikim pokolom. Tako so bili Amónovi otroci podjarmljeni pred Izraelovimi otroci.
34 Nowe when Iphtah came to Mizpeh vnto his house, beholde, his daughter came out to meete him with timbrels and daunces, which was his onely childe: he had none other sonne, nor daughter.
Jefte je prišel v Micpo, k svoji hiši in glej, njegova hči je prišla ven, da ga sreča s tamburini in s plesi. Ona pa je bila njegov edini otrok. Poleg nje ni imel niti sina niti hčere.
35 And when hee sawe her, hee rent his clothes, and saide, Alas my daughter, thou hast brought me lowe, and art of them that trouble me: for I haue opened my mouth vnto the Lord, and can not goe backe.
Pripetilo se je, ko jo je zagledal, da je pretrgal svoja oblačila in rekel: »Ojoj, moja hči! Zelo si me potrla in ti si ena izmed tistih, ki me vznemirjajo, kajti svoja usta sem odprl h Gospodu in se ne morem obrniti nazaj.«
36 And she said vnto him, My father, if thou hast opened thy mouth vnto the Lord, doe with me as thou hast promised, seeing that the Lord hath auenged thee of thine enemies the children of Ammon.
Rekla mu je: »Moj oče, če si svoja usta odprl h Gospodu, mi stori glede na to, kar je prišlo iz tvojih ust, kakor se je Gospod zate maščeval na tvojih sovražnikih, na Amónovih otrocih.«
37 Also she saide vnto her father, Doe thus much for me: suffer me two moneths, that I may goe to the mountaines, and bewaile my virginitie, I and my fellowes.
Svojemu očetu je rekla: »Naj mi bo storjena ta stvar. Dva meseca me pusti samo, da lahko grem gor in dol po gorah in objokujem svoje devištvo, jaz in moje prijateljice.«
38 And he sayde, Goe: and he sent her away two moneths: so she went with her companions, and lamented her virginitie vpon the moutaines.
Rekel je: »Pojdi.« In za dva meseca jo je poslal proč in odšla je s svojimi družabnicami ter po gorah objokovala svoje devištvo.
39 And after the ende of two moneths, she turned againe vnto her father, who did with her according to his vowe which he had vowed, and she had knowen no man. and it was a custome in Israel:
Pripetilo se je ob koncu dveh mesecev, da se je vrnila k svojemu očetu, ki je z njo storil glede na svojo zaobljubo, ki jo je prisegel. Nobenega moškega ni spoznala. In to je bil zakon v Izraelu,
40 The daughters of Israel went yere by yere to lament the daughter of Iphtah the Gileadite, foure dayes in a yeere.
da so Izraelove hčere vsako leto odšle, da štiri dni v letu objokujejo hčer Gileádca Jefteja.
