Judges 21
1 And the men of Israel have sworn in Mizpeh, saying, “None of us gives his daughter to Benjamin for a wife.”
Torej možje iz Izraela so v Micpi prisegli, rekoč: »Nihče izmed nas svoje hčere ne bo dal Benjaminu za ženo.«
2 And the people come to Beth-El, and sit there until the evening before God, and lift up their voice, and weep [with] a great weeping,
Ljudstvo je prišlo k Božji hiši in tam so ostali do večera pred Bogom in povzdignili svoje glasove in bridko jokali
3 and say, “Why, O YHWH, God of Israel, has this been in Israel—to be lacking one tribe from Israel today?”
in rekli: »Oh Gospod, Izraelov Bog, zakaj se je to zgodilo v Izraelu, da danes manjka en rod v Izraelu.«
4 And it comes to pass on the next day, that the people rise early, and build an altar there, and cause burnt-offerings and peace-offerings to ascend.
Pripetilo se je naslednji dan, da je ljudstvo zgodaj vstalo, tam zgradilo oltar in darovalo žgalne daritve in mirovne daritve.
5 And the sons of Israel say, “Who [is] he that has not come up in the assembly to YHWH out of all the tribes of Israel?” For the great oath has been concerning him who has not come up to YHWH to Mizpeh, saying, “He is surely put to 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 sons of Israel sigh concerning their brother Benjamin, and say, “Today there has been one tribe cut off from Israel,
Izraelovim otrokom je bilo žal zaradi Benjamina, njihovega brata in rekli so: »Ta dan je iz Izraela iztrebljen en rod.
7 what do we do for them—for those who are left—for wives, since we have sworn by YHWH not to give to them from our daughters for wives?”
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 And they say, “Who is [that] one out of the tribes of Israel who has not come up to YHWH to Mizpeh?” And behold, none has come to the camp from Jabesh-Gilead—to the assembly.
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 And the people numbered themselves, and behold, there is no man from the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead.
Kajti ljudstvo je bilo prešteto in glej, tam ni bilo nobenega prebivalca iz Jabéš Gileáda.
10 And the congregation sends twelve thousand men of the sons of valor there, and commands them, saying, “Go—and you have struck the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead by the mouth of the sword, even the women and the infants.
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] the thing which you do; every male, and every woman knowing the lying of a male, you devote.”
To je stvar, ki jo boste storili: ›Popolnoma boste uničili vsakega moškega in vsako žensko, ki je ležala z moškim.‹«
12 And they find four hundred young women, virgins, out of the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead, who have not known man by the lying of a male, and they bring them to the camp at 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 And all the congregation sends [word] and speaks to the sons of Benjamin who [are] in the rock of Rimmon, and proclaims peace to them;
Celotna skupnost je poslala nekatere, da govorijo Benjaminovim otrokom, ki so bili v Rimónovi skali in da miroljubno kličejo k njim.
14 and Benjamin turns back at that time, and they give to them the women whom they have kept alive of the women of Jabesh-Gilead, and they have not found for [all of] them so.
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 sighed concerning Benjamin, for YHWH had made a breach among the tribes of Israel.
Ljudstvo se je pokesalo zaradi Benjamina, zato ker je Gospod naredil vrzel v Izraelovih rodovih.
16 And [the] elderly of the congregation say, “What do we do to the remnant for wives—for the women have been destroyed out of Benjamin?”
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 say, “A possession of an escaped party [is] to Benjamin, and a tribe is not blotted out from Israel;
Rekli so: » Mora biti dediščina za tiste, ki pobegnejo iz Benjamina, da iz Izraela ne bo uničen rod.«
18 and we are not able to give wives to them out of our daughters, for the sons of Israel have sworn, saying, Cursed [is] he who is giving a wife to Benjamin.”
Vendar jim ne moremo dati žene izmed svojih hčera, kajti Izraelovi otroci so prisegli, rekoč: »Preklet bodi, kdor daje ženo Benjaminu.«
19 And they say, “Behold, a festival of YHWH [is] in Shiloh, from time to time, which [is] on the north of Beth-El, at the rising of the sun, by the highway which is going up 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 And they command the sons of Benjamin, saying, “Go—and you have laid wait in the vineyards,
Zato so Benjaminovim otrokom zapovedali, rekoč: »Pojdite in prežite v zasedi v vinogradih.
21 and have seen, and behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in dances—then you have gone out from the vineyards, and each caught his wife out of the daughters of Shiloh for yourselves, and have gone to the land of Benjamin;
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 it has been, when their fathers or their brothers come in to plead to us, that we have said to them, Favor us [by] them, for we have not each taken his wife in battle, for you have not given [wives] to them at this time, [so] you are [not] guilty.”
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 sons of Benjamin do so, and take women according to their number, out of the dancers whom they have seized; and they go, and return to their inheritance, and build the cities, and dwell 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 And the sons of Israel go up and down there at that time, each to his tribe, and to his family; and they each go out there 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 days there is no king in Israel; each does that which is right in his own eyes.
V tistih dneh ni bilo kralja v Izraelu. Vsak mož je počel to, kar je bilo pravilno v njegovih lastnih očeh.
