Judges 2
1 And the angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim. And he said: '...I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I swore unto your fathers; and I said: I will never break My covenant with you;
Gospodov angel je prišel gor od Gilgála k Bohímu in rekel: »Primoral sem vas iti gor, ven iz Egipta in vas privedel v deželo, ki sem jo prisegel vašim očetom. Rekel sem: ›Nikoli ne bom prelomil svoje zaveze z vami.
2 and ye shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall break down their altars; but ye have not hearkened unto My voice; what is this ye have done?
In vi ne boste sklenili nobene zaveze s prebivalci te dežele; zrušili boste njihove oltarje.‹ Toda niste ubogali mojega glasu. Zakaj ste to storili?‹
3 Wherefore I also said: I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be unto you as snares, and their gods shall be a trap unto you.'
Zato sem tudi rekel: ›Ne bom jih pognal izpred vas, temveč vam bodo kakor trni na vaših straneh in njihovi bogovi vam bodo zanka.‹«
4 And it came to pass, when the angel of the LORD spoke these words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
Pripetilo se je, ko je Gospodov angel te besede povedal vsem Izraelovim otrokom, da je ljudstvo povzdignilo svoj glas in zajokalo.
5 And they called the name of that place Bochim; and they sacrificed there unto the LORD.
Ime tega kraja so imenovali Bohím in tam so darovali Gospodu.
6 Now when Joshua had sent the people away, the children of Israel went every man unto his inheritance to possess the land.
Ko je Józue pustil ljudstvu oditi, so Izraelovi otroci odšli, vsak mož v svojo dediščino, da deželo vzamejo v last.
7 And the people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great work of the LORD, that He had wrought for Israel.
Ljudstvo je služilo Gospodu vse Józuetove dni in vse dni starešin, ki so preživeli Józueta, ki so videli vsa velika Gospodova dela, ki jih je storil za Izrael.
8 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being a hundred and ten years old.
Nunov sin Józue, Gospodov služabnik, je umrl, star sto deset let.
9 And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath-heres, in the hill-country of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaash.
Pokopali so ga na meji njegove dediščine, v Timnát Heresu, na gori Efrájim, na severni strani Gáaševega hriba.
10 And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers; and there arose another generation after them, that knew not the LORD, nor yet the work which He had wrought for Israel.
Tudi ves ta rod je bil zbran k svojim očetom in tam je za njimi vstal drug rod, ki ni poznal Gospoda niti še ne del, ki jih je ta storil za Izrael.
11 And the children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and served the Baalim.
Izraelovi otroci so počeli zlo v Gospodovih očeh in služili Báalom.
12 And they forsook the LORD, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the peoples that were round about them, and worshipped them; and they provoked the LORD.
Zapustili so Gospoda, Boga svojih očetov, ki jih je privedel iz egiptovske dežele in sledili drugim bogovom, bogovom ljudstev, ki so bili okoli njih, se jim priklanjali in Gospoda izzivali k jezi.
13 And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and the Ashtaroth.
Zapustili so Gospoda in služili Báalu in Astarti.
14 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and He delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and He gave them over into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies.
Gospodova jeza je bila vroča zoper Izrael in izročil jih je v roke plenilcev, ki so jih oplenili in jih prodal v roke njihovih sovražnikov naokoli, tako da ne bi mogli več obstati pred svojimi sovražniki.
15 Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for evil, as the LORD had spoken, and as the LORD had sworn unto them; and they were sore distressed.
Kamorkoli so odšli, je bila zoper njih Gospodova roka za zlo, kakor je Gospod rekel in kakor jim je Gospod prisegel. Bili so silno stiskani.
16 And the LORD raised up judges, who saved them out of the hand of those that spoiled them.
Kljub temu je Gospod dvignil sodnike, ki so jih osvobajali iz roke tistih, ki so jih plenili.
17 And yet they hearkened not unto their judges, for they went astray after other gods, and worshipped them; they turned aside quickly out of the way wherein their fathers walked, obeying the commandments of the LORD; they did not so.
Vendar niso hoteli prisluhniti svojim sodnikom, temveč so se odšli vlačugat za drugimi bogovi in se jim priklanjali. Hitro so se obrnili iz poti, po kateri so hodili njihovi očetje z uboganjem Gospodovih zapovedi, toda oni niso tako storili.
18 And when the LORD raised them up judges, then the LORD was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for it repented the LORD because of their groaning by reason of them that oppressed them and crushed them.
Ko jim je Gospod dvignil sodnike, potem je bil Gospod s sodnikom in jih vse sodnikove dni osvobajal iz roke njihovih sovražnikov, kajti to je pokesalo Gospoda zaradi njihovega stokanja, zaradi razloga tistih, ki so jih zatirali in jih slabili.
19 But it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they turned back, and dealt more corruptly than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to worship them; they left nothing undone of their practices, nor of their stubborn way.
Pripetilo pa se je, ko je bil sodnik mrtev, da so se vrnili in se izpridili bolj kakor njihovi očetje v sledenju drugim bogovom, da jim služijo in se jim priklanjajo. Niso odnehali od svojih lastnih početij niti od svoje trmoglave poti.
20 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel; and He said: 'Because this nation have transgressed My covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto My voice;
Gospodova jeza je bila vroča zoper Izrael in rekel je: »Zato, ker je to ljudstvo prekršilo mojo zavezo, ki sem jo zapovedal njihovim očetom in niso prisluhnili mojemu glasu,
21 I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations that Joshua left when he died;
odslej tudi jaz pred njimi ne bom podil kateregakoli izmed narodov, ki jih je pustil Józue, ko je umrl,
22 that by them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.'
da bom lahko po njih preizkusil Izraela, če se bodo držali Gospodove poti, da hodijo po njej, kakor so se je držali njihovi očetje ali ne.«
23 So the LORD left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered He them into the hand of Joshua.
Zato je Gospod pustil tiste narode, ne da bi jih naglo pognal ven niti jih ni izročil v Józuetovo roko.
