< Judges 6 >

1 Afterwarde the children of Israel committed wickednesse in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord gaue them into the handes of Midian seuen yeres.
Izraelovi otroci so v Gospodovih očeh počeli zlo in Gospod jih je [za] sedem let izročil v roko Midjáncev.
2 And the hand of Midian preuayled against Israel, and because of the Midianites the children of Israel made them dennes in the mountaines, and caues, and strong holdes.
Roka Midjáncev je prevladala zoper Izraela in zaradi Midjáncev so si Izraelovi otroci naredili jame, ki so v gorah, votline in oporišča.
3 When Israel had sowen, then came vp the Midianites, the Amalekites, and they of the East, and came vpon them,
Bilo je tako, ko je Izrael sejal, da so prišli gor Midjánci, Amalečani in otroci vzhoda, celó ti so prišli gor zoper njih
4 And camped by them, and destroyed the fruite of the earth, euen til thou come vnto Azzah, and left no foode for Israel, neither sheepe, nor oxe, nor asse.
in se utaborili zoper njih in uničili donos zemlje, dokler ne prideš do Gaze in za Izrael niso pustili nobene oskrbe, niti ovce, niti vola, niti osla.
5 For they went vp, and their cattel, and came with their tentes as grashoppers in multitude: so that they and their camels were without number: and they came into the land to destroy it.
Kajti gor so prišli s svojo živino in svojimi šotori in prišli so kakor kobilice zaradi množice, kajti tako njih kakor njihovih kamel je bilo brez števila in vstopili so v deželo, da jo uničijo.
6 So was Israel exceedingly impouerished by the Midianites: therefore the children of Israel cryed vnto the Lord.
Zaradi Midjáncev je bil Izrael silno obubožan in Izraelovi otroci so klicali h Gospodu.
7 And when the children of Israel cryed vnto the Lord because of the Midianites,
Pripetilo se je, ko so zaradi Midjáncev Izraelovi otroci klicali h Gospodu,
8 The Lord sent vnto the children of Israel a Prophet, who sayd vuto them, Thus sayth the Lord God of Israel, I haue brought you vp from Egypt, and haue brought you out of the house of bondage,
da je Gospod k Izraelovim otrokom poslal preroka, ki jim je rekel: »Tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog: ›Privedel sem vas gor iz Egipta, vas izpeljal iz hiše sužnosti,
9 And I haue deliuered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all that oppressed you, and haue cast them out before you, and giuen you their land.
vas osvobodil iz roke Egipčanov in iz roke vseh, ki so vas zatirali in jih pregnal izpred vas in vam dal njihovo deželo
10 And I sayde vnto you, I am the Lord your God: feare not the gods of the Amorites in whose lande you dwell: but ye haue not obeyed my voyce.
ter vam rekel: ›Jaz sem Gospod, vaš Bog. Ne bojte se bogov Amoréjcev, v katerih deželi prebivate.‹ Toda niste ubogali mojega glasu.‹«
11 And the Angell of the Lord came, and sate vnder the oke which was in Ophrah, that perteined vnto Ioash the father of the Ezrites, and his sonne Gideon threshed wheate by the winepresse, to hide it from the Midianites.
Prišel je Gospodov angel in sedel pod hrast, ki je bil v Ofri, ki je pripadal Abiézerjevcu Joášu. Njegov sin Gideón je pri vinski stiskalnici mlatil pšenico, da jo skrije pred Midjánci.
12 Then the Angel of the Lord appeared vnto him, and said vnto him, The Lord is with thee, thou valiant man.
Prikazal se mu je Gospodov angel ter mu rekel: » Gospod je s teboj, mogočen, hraber mož.«
13 To whome Gideon answered, Ah my Lord, if the Lord be with vs, why then is all this come vpon vs? and where be all his miracles which our fathers tolde vs of, and sayd, Did not the Lord bring vs out of Egypt? but now the Lord hath forsaken vs, and deliuered vs into the hand of the Midianites.
Gideón mu je rekel: »Oh moj Gospod, če je z nami Gospod, zakaj nas je potem vse to doletelo? In kje so vsi njegovi čudeži, o katerih so nam povedali naši očetje, rekoč. ›Ali nas ni Gospod privedel gor iz Egipta? Toda sedaj nas je Gospod zapustil in nas izročil v roke Midjáncev.‹«
14 And the Lord looked vpon him, and sayd, Goe in this thy might, and thou shalt saue Israel out of the handes of the Midianites: haue not I sent thee?
Gospod je pogledal nanj in rekel: »Pojdi v tej svoji moči in ti boš Izraela rešil iz roke Midjáncev. Ali te nisem jaz poslal?«
15 And he answered him, Ah my Lord, whereby shall I saue Israel? beholde, my father is poore in Manasseh, and I am the least in my fathers house.
Rekel mu je: »Oh moj Gospod, s čim bom rešil Izraela? Glej, moja družina je revna v Manáseju in jaz sem najmanjši v očetovi hiši.«
16 Then the Lord sayd vnto him, I wil therefore be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites, as one man.
Gospod mu je rekel: »Zagotovo bom jaz s teboj in Midjánce boš udaril kakor en mož.«
17 And he answered him, I pray thee, if I haue founde fauour in thy sight, then shewe me a signe, that thou talkest with me.
Ta mu je rekel: »Če sem torej našel milost v tvojem pogledu, potem mi pokaži znamenje, da ti govoriš z menoj.
18 Depart not hence, I pray thee, vntil I come vnto thee, and bring mine offring, and lay it before thee. And he sayde, I will tary vntill thou come againe.
Ne odidi od tod, prosim te, dokler ne pridem k tebi in prinesem svoje darilo in ga postavim predte.« Rekel je: »Ostal bom, dokler ponovno ne prideš.«
19 Then Gideon went in, and made ready a kidde, and vnleauened bread of an Ephah of floure, and put the flesh in a basket, and put the broth in a pot, and brought it out vnto him vnder the oke, and presented it.
Gideón je vstopil in pripravil kozlička in nekvašene kolače iz škafa moke. Meso je položil v košaro, juho v lonec in to prinesel ven k njemu pod hrast in to ponudil.
20 And the Angell of God saide vnto him, Take the flesh and the vnleauened bread, and lay them vpon this stone, and powre out the broth: and he did so.
Angel od Boga mu je rekel: »Vzemi meso in nekvašene kolače ter jih položi na to skalo in izlij juho.« In tako je storil.
21 Then the Angell of the Lord put forth the ende of the staffe that he had in his hand, and touched the flesh and the vnleauened bread: and there arose vp fire out of the stone, and consumed the flesh and the vnleauened bread: so the Angel of the Lord departed out of his sight.
Potem je Gospodov angel iztegnil konec palice, ki je bila v njegovi roki in se dotaknil mesa in nekvašenih kolačev. In iz skale se je dvignil ogenj in použil meso ter nekvašene kolače. Potem je Gospodov angel odšel iz njegovega pogleda.
22 And when Gideon perceiued that it was an Angel of the Lord, Gideon then sayde, Alas, my Lord God: for because I haue seene an Angell of the Lord face to face, I shall die.
Ko je Gideón zaznal, da je bil to Gospodov angel, je Gideón rekel: »Ojoj, oh Gospod Bog! Ker sem videl Gospodovega angela iz obličja v obličje.«
23 And the Lord said vnto him, Peace be vnto thee: feare not, thou shalt not die.
Gospod mu je rekel: »Mir ti bodi, ne boj se. Ne boš umrl.«
24 Then Gideon made an altar there vnto the Lord, and called it, Iehouah shalom: vnto this day it is in Ophrah, of the father of the Ezrites.
Potem je Gideón tam zgradil oltar Gospodu in ga imenoval Jahve–šalom. Do današnjega dne je ta še vedno v Ofri Abiézerjevcev.
25 And the same night the Lord sayd vnto him, Take thy fathers yong bullocke, and an other bullocke of seuen yeeres olde, and destroy the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut downe the groue that is by it,
Pripetilo se je isto noč, da mu je Gospod rekel: »Vzemi mladega bikca od svojega očeta, celo drugega bikca starosti sedmih let in zruši Báalov oltar, ki ga ima tvoj oče in posekaj ašero, ki je poleg njega
26 And build an altar vnto the Lord thy God vpon the top of this rocke, in a plaine place: and take the seconde bullocke, and offer a burnt offringe with the woode of the groue, which thou shalt cut downe.
in zgradi oltar Gospodu, svojemu Bogu, na vrhu te skale, na določenem kraju in vzemi drugega bikca in daruj žgalno daritev z lesom ašere, ki jo boš posekal.«
27 Then Gideon tooke tenne men of his seruants, and did as ye Lord bade him: but because he feared to doe it by day for his fathers housholde, and the men of the citie, he did it by night.
Potem je Gideón vzel deset mož izmed svojih služabnikov in storil, kakor mu je Gospod rekel. Bilo je tako, ker se je bal očetove družine in mož mesta, da tega ni mogel storiti podnevi, da je to storil ponoči.
28 And when the men of the citie arose early in the morning, beholde, the altar of Baal was broken, and the groue cut downe that was by it, and the seconde bullocke offred vpon the altar that was made.
Ko so možje mesta zgodaj zjutraj vstali, glej, Báalov oltar je bil podrt in ašera, ki je bila poleg njega, je bila posekana in drugi bikec je bil darovan na oltarju, ki je bil zgrajen.
29 Therefore they saide one to another, Who hath done this thing? and when they inquired and asked, they saide, Gideon the sonne of Ioash hath done this thing.
Drug drugemu so rekli: »Kdo je storil to stvar?« Ko so poizvedovali in spraševali, so rekli: »To stvar je storil Joášev sin Gideón.«
30 Then the men of the citie said vnto Ioash, Bring out thy sonne, that hee may dye: for he hath destroyed the altar of Baal, and hath also cut downe the groue that was by it.
Potem so možje iz mesta Joášu rekli: »Privedi svojega sina ven, da bo lahko umrl, ker je podrl Báalov oltar in ker je posekal ašero, ki je bila poleg njega.«
31 And Ioash said vnto all that stood by him, Will ye pleade Baals cause? or will ye saue him? he that will contend for him, let him dye or the morning. If he be God, let him pleade for himselfe against him that hath cast downe his altar.
Joáš je rekel vsem, ki so stali zoper njega: »Mar se boste potegovali za Báala? Ali ga boste vi rešili? Kdor se bo potegoval zanj, naj bo usmrčen, medtem ko je še jutro. Če je on bog, naj se poteguje sam zase, ker je nekdo podrl njegov oltar.«
32 And in that day was Gideon called Ierubbaal, that is, Let Baal pleade for himselfe because he hath broken downe his altar.
Zato ga je na ta dan imenoval Jerubáal, rekoč: »Naj Báal navaja dokaze zoper njega, ker je zrušil njegov oltar.«
33 Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and they of ye East, were gathered together, aud went and pitched in the valley of Izreel.
Potem so se skupaj zbrali vsi Midjánci, Amálečani in otroci vzhoda, odšli preko in se utaborili v dolini Jezreél.
34 But the Spirit of the Lord came vpon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet, and Abiezer was ioyned with him.
Toda Gospodov Duh je prišel nad Gideóna in ta je zatrobil na šofar in Abiézer je bil zbran za njim.
35 And he sent messengers thorowout al Manasseh, which also was ioyned with him, and he sent messengers vnto Asher, and to Zebulun and to Naphtali, and they came vp to meete them.
Poslal je poslance po vsem Manáseju, ki je bil tudi zbran za njim. Poslal je poslance k Aserju, k Zábulonu in k Neftáliju in prišli so gor, da jih srečajo.
36 Then Gideon said vnto God, If thou wilt saue Israel by mine hand, as thou hast sayd,
Gideón je rekel Bogu: »Če hočeš po moji roki rešiti Izraela, kakor si rekel,
37 Beholde, I wil put a fleece of wooll in the threshing place: if the dewe come on the fleece onely, and it be drie vpon all the earth, then shall I be sure, that thou wilt saue Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said.
glej, bom na tla položil ovčje runo in če bo rosa samo na runu in bo vsa zemlja poleg suha, potem bom vedel, da hočeš po moji roki rešiti Izraela, kakor si rekel.«
38 And so it was: for he rose vp earely on the morow, and thrust the fleece together, and wringed the dew out of the fleece, and filled a bowle of water.
In bilo je tako, kajti naslednji dan je zgodaj vstal in iz runa iztisnil roso, polno skledico vode.
39 Againe, Gideon sayde vnto God, Be not angry with me, that I may speake once more: let me prooue once againe, I pray thee, with the fleece: let it now be drie onely vpon the fleece, and let dewe be vpon all the ground.
Gideón je rekel Bogu: »Tvoja jeza naj se ne vname zoper mene in govoril bom samo še tokrat. Naj dokažem, prosim te, samo še tokrat z runom. Naj bo sedaj suho samo na runu, po vsej zemlji pa naj bo rosa.«
40 And God did so that same night: for it was drie vpon the fleece onely, and there was dewe on all the ground.
Bog je to noč storil tako, kajti bilo je suho samo na runu, rosa pa je bila po vsej zemlji.
