Judges 21
1 Moreouer, the men of Israel sware in Mizpeh, saying, None of vs shall giue his daughter vnto the Beniamites to wyfe.
Torej možje iz Izraela so v Micpi prisegli, rekoč: »Nihče izmed nas svoje hčere ne bo dal Benjaminu za ženo.«
2 And the people came vnto ye house of God and abode there till euen before God, and lift vp their voyces, and wept with great lamentation,
Ljudstvo je prišlo k Božji hiši in tam so ostali do večera pred Bogom in povzdignili svoje glasove in bridko jokali
3 And sayde, O Lord God of Israel, why is this come to passe in Israel, that this day one tribe of Israel should want?
in rekli: »Oh Gospod, Izraelov Bog, zakaj se je to zgodilo v Izraelu, da danes manjka en rod v Izraelu.«
4 And on the morow the people rose vp and made there an altar, and offred burnt offrings and peace offrings.
Pripetilo se je naslednji dan, da je ljudstvo zgodaj vstalo, tam zgradilo oltar in darovalo žgalne daritve in mirovne daritve.
5 Then the children of Israel said, Who is he among all the tribes of Israel, that came not vp with the Congregation vnto the Lord? for they had made a great othe concerning him that came not vp to the Lord to Mizpeh, saying, Let him die the death.
Izraelovi otroci so rekli: »Kdo je tam med vsemi Izraelovimi rodovi, ki s skupnostjo ni prišel gor h Gospodu?« Kajti sklenili so veliko prisego glede tistega, ki ne pride gor h Gospodu v Micpo, rekoč: »Ta bo zagotovo usmrčen.«
6 And the children of Israel were sory for Beniamin their brother, and said, There is one tribe cut off from Israel this day.
Izraelovim otrokom je bilo žal zaradi Benjamina, njihovega brata in rekli so: »Ta dan je iz Izraela iztrebljen en rod.
7 How shall we do for wiues to them that remaine, seeing we haue sworne by the Lord, that we will not giue them of our daughters to wiues?
Kako bomo storili zaradi žena za tiste, ki so ostali, glede na to, da smo pri Gospodu prisegli, da jim ne bomo dali izmed svojih hčera za žene?«
8 Also they saide, Is there any of the tribes of Israel that came not vp to Mizpeh to the Lord? and beholde, there came none of Iabesh Gilead vnto the hoste and to the Congregation.
Rekli so: »Kateri izmed Izraelovih rodov je, ki ni prišel v Micpo h Gospodu?« Glej, iz Jabéš Gileáda ni nihče prišel v tabor k zboru.
9 For when the people were vewed; beholde, none of the inhabitants of Iabesh Gilead were there.
Kajti ljudstvo je bilo prešteto in glej, tam ni bilo nobenega prebivalca iz Jabéš Gileáda.
10 Therefore the Congregation sent thither twelue thousande men of the most valiant, and commanded them, saying, Goe, and smite the inhabitants of Iabesh Gilead with the edge of the sword, both women, and children.
Skupnost je tja poslala dvanajst tisoč mož izmed najhrabrejših in jim zapovedala, rekoč: »Pojdite in udarite prebivalce Jabéš Gileáda z ostrino meča, z ženskami in otroki.
11 And this is it that ye shall do: ye shall vtterly destroye all the males and all the women that haue lien by men.
To je stvar, ki jo boste storili: ›Popolnoma boste uničili vsakega moškega in vsako žensko, ki je ležala z moškim.‹«
12 And they found among the inhabitants of Iabesh Gilead foure hundreth maides, virgins that had knowne no man by lying with any male: and they brought them vnto the hoste to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.
Med prebivalci Jabéš Gileáda so našli štiristo mladih devic, ki nobenega moškega niso spoznale z ležanjem s katerimkoli moškim. Privedli so jih v tabor do Šila, ki je v kánaanski deželi.
13 Then the whole Congregation sent and spake with the children of Beniamin that were in the rocke of Rimmon, and called peaceably vnto them:
Celotna skupnost je poslala nekatere, da govorijo Benjaminovim otrokom, ki so bili v Rimónovi skali in da miroljubno kličejo k njim.
14 And Beniamin came againe at that time, and they gaue them wiues which they had saued aliue of the women of Iabesh Gilead: but they had not so ynough for them.
Ob tistem času je ponovno prišel Benjamin in izročili so jim žene, ki so jih žive rešili izmed žensk Jabéš Gileáda in vendar jim to ni zadoščalo.
15 And the people were sorie for Beniamin, because the Lord had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.
Ljudstvo se je pokesalo zaradi Benjamina, zato ker je Gospod naredil vrzel v Izraelovih rodovih.
16 Therefore the Elders of the Congregation said, How shall we doe for wiues to the remnant? for the women of Beniamin are destroyed.
Potem so starešine skupnosti rekli: »Kako bomo storili glede žena za tiste, ki ostanejo, glede na to, da so ženske uničene iz Benjamina?«
17 And they saide, there must be an inheritance for them that be escaped of Beniamin, that a tribe be not destroyed out of Israel.
Rekli so: » Mora biti dediščina za tiste, ki pobegnejo iz Benjamina, da iz Izraela ne bo uničen rod.«
18 Howbeit we may not giue them wiues of our daughters: for the childre of Israel had sworne, saying, Cursed be he that giueth a wise to Beniamin.
Vendar jim ne moremo dati žene izmed svojih hčera, kajti Izraelovi otroci so prisegli, rekoč: »Preklet bodi, kdor daje ženo Benjaminu.«
19 Therefore they said, Beholde, there is a feast of the Lord euery yere in Shiloh in a place, which is on the Northside of Beth-el, and on the Eastside of the way that goeth vp from Beth-el to Shechem, and on the South of Lebonah.
Potem so rekli: »Glej, tam je letno Gospodovo praznovanje v Šilu, na kraju, ki je na severni strani Betela, na vzhodni strani glavne ceste, ki gre gor od Betela do Sihema in na vzhodni strani Lebóne.«
20 Therefore they commanded the children of Beniamin, saying, Goe, and lye in waite in the vineyardes.
Zato so Benjaminovim otrokom zapovedali, rekoč: »Pojdite in prežite v zasedi v vinogradih.
21 And when ye see that the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in dances, then come ye out of the vineyards, and catche you euery man a wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and goe into the land of Beniamin.
Glejte in opazujte, če hčere iz Šila pridejo ven, da plešejo v plesih, potem pridite iz vinogradov in zgrabite vsak mož svojo ženo izmed hčera v Šilu in pojdite v Benjaminovo deželo.«
22 And when their fathers or their brethren come vnto vs to complaine, we wil say vnto them, Haue pitie on them for our sakes, because we reserued not to eche man his wife in the warre, and because ye haue not giuen vnto them hitherto, ye haue sinned.
Zgodilo se bo, da ko pridejo k nam njihovi očetje ali njihovi bratje, da se pritožujejo, jim bomo rekli: »Bodite jim naklonjeni zaradi nas, ker v vojni nismo prihranili vsakemu možu svoje žene, kajti ob tistem času jim jih vi niste dali, tako ste sedaj krivi.«
23 And the children of Beniamin did so, and tooke wiues of them that danced according to their nomber: which they tooke, and went away, and returned to their inheritance, and repaired the cities and dwelt in them.
Benjaminovi otroci so tako storili in si vzeli žene, glede na njihovo število izmed tistih, ki so plesale, ki so jih ujeli in odšli ter se vrnili v svojo dediščino in popravili mesta in prebivali v njih.
24 So the children of Israel departed thence at that time, euery man to his tribe, and to his familie, and went out from thence euery man to his inheritance.
Ob tem času so Izraelovi otroci odšli od tam, vsak mož k svojemu rodu in k svoji družini in odšli so od tam, vsak mož k svoji dediščini.
25 In those dayes there was no King in Israel, but euery man did that which was good in his eyes.
V tistih dneh ni bilo kralja v Izraelu. Vsak mož je počel to, kar je bilo pravilno v njegovih lastnih očeh.
