Judges 3
1 Now these are the nations which the LORD left, to prove Israel by them, even as many as had not known all the wars of Canaan;
Torej to so narodi, ki jih je pustil Gospod, da z njimi preizkusi Izraela, torej tiste iz Izraela, ki niso poznali vseh kánaanskih vojn,
2 only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as beforetime knew nothing thereof;
samo da bi rodovi Izraelovih otrok lahko vedeli, da jih naučijo vojne, vsaj tiste, ki prej niso ničesar vedeli o tem,
3 [namely], the five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Zidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baal-hermon unto the entering in of Hamath.
namreč pet filistejskih knezov in vse Kánaance, Sidónce in Hivéjce, ki so prebivali na gori Libanon, od gore Báal Hermon, do vhoda v Hamát.
4 And they were for to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of the LORD, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
Bili so, da z njimi preizkusi Izraela, da spozna, ali bodo prisluhnili Gospodovim zapovedim, ki jih je po Mojzesovi roki zapovedal njihovim očetom.
5 And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites; the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite:
Izraelovi otroci so prebivali med Kánaanci, Hetejci, Amoréjci, Perizéjci, Hivéjci in Jebusejci
6 and they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their own daughters to their sons, and served their gods.
in jemali so njihove hčere, da so postale njihove žene in svoje hčere so dajali njihovim sinovom in služili njihovim bogovom.
7 And the children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgat the LORD their God, and served the Baalim and the Asheroth.
Izraelovi otroci so počeli zlo v Gospodovih očeh in pozabili Gospoda, svojega Boga in služili Báalom in ašeram.
8 Therefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Cushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Cushan-rishathaim eight years.
Zato je bila Gospodova jeza vroča zoper Izrael in jih je prodal v roko Kušán Rišatájima, kralja Mezopotamije in Izraelovi otroci so osem let služili Kušán Rišatájimu.
9 And when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised up a saviour to the children of Israel, who saved them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother.
Ko so Izraelovi otroci vpili h Gospodu, je Gospod Izraelovim otrokom dvignil osvoboditelja, ki jih je osvobodil, Kenázovega sina Otniéla, Kalébovega mlajšega brata.
10 And the spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war, and the LORD delivered Cushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand: and his hand prevailed against Cushan-rishathaim.
Gospodov Duh je prišel nadenj in sodil je Izraelu in odšel ven na vojsko in Gospod je izročil Kušán Rišatájima, kralja Mezopotamije, v njegovo roko in njegova roka je prevladala zoper Kušán Rišatájima.
11 And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
Dežela je imela štirideset let počitek in Kenázov sin Otniél je umrl.
12 And the children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done that which was evil in the sight of the LORD.
Izraelovi otroci pa so ponovno počeli zlo v Gospodovih očeh in Gospod je zoper Izraela okrepil moábskega kralja Eglóna, ker so počeli zlo v Gospodovih očeh.
13 And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek; and went and smote Israel, and they possessed the city of palm trees.
K sebi je zbral otroke Amóna in Amáleka ter odšel in udaril Izrael in v last vzel mesto palmovih dreves.
14 And the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
Tako so Izraelovi otroci osemnajst let služili moábskemu kralju Eglónu.
15 But when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised them up a saviour, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a man lefthanded: and the children of Israel sent a present by him unto Eglon the king of Moab.
Toda ko so Izraelovi otroci klicali h Gospodu, jim je Gospod dvignil osvoboditelja, Gerájevega sina Ehúda, Benjaminovca, moža, ki je bil levičen in po njem so Izraelovi otroci poslali darilo moábskemu kralju Eglónu.
16 And Ehud made him a sword which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he girded it under his raiment upon his right thigh.
Toda Ehúd si je naredil bodalo, ki je imelo dve ostrini, komolec dolgo in opasal si ga je pod oblačilo, na svoje desno stegno.
17 And he offered the present unto Eglon king of Moab: now Eglon was a very fat man.
In prinesel je darilo moábskemu kralju Eglónu. Eglón pa je bil zelo debel mož.
18 And when he had made an end of offering the present, he sent away the people that bare the present.
Ko je končal s ponujanjem darila, je ljudstvo, ki je nosilo darilo, odposlal proč.
19 But he himself turned back from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king. And he said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.
Toda on sam se je ponovno obrnil od klesancev, ki so bili pri Gilgálu in rekel: »Zate imam skrivno naročilo, oh kralj.« Ta je rekel: »Molči.« In vsi, ki so stali pri njem, so odšli od njega.
20 And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting by himself alone in his summer parlour. And Ehud said, I have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of his seat.
Ehúd je prišel k njemu in ta je sedel v poletni dvorani, ki jo je imel samo zase. Ehúd je rekel: »Zate imam sporočilo od Boga.« In ta je vstal iz svojega sedeža.
21 And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:
Ehúd je svojo levo roko iztegnil naprej, vzel bodalo s svojega desnega stegna in ga zabodel v njegov trebuh.
22 and the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, for he drew not the sword out of his belly; and it came out behind.
Tudi ročaj je šel noter za rezilom in maščoba se je zaprla na rezilu, tako da bodala ni mogel izvleči iz njegovega trebuha in ven je prišla umazanija.
23 Then Ehud went forth into the porch, and shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and locked them.
Potem je Ehúd šel naprej skozi preddverje ter za seboj zaprl vrata dvorane in jih zaklenil.
24 Now when he was gone out, his servants came; and they saw, and, behold, the doors of the parlour were locked; and they said, Surely he covereth his feet in his summer chamber.
Ko je odšel ven, so prišli njegovi služabniki in glej, ko so videli, da so bila vrata dvorane zaklenjena, so rekli: »Zagotovo v svoji poletni sobi pokriva svoja stopala.«
25 And they tarried till they were ashamed: and, behold, he opened not the doors of the parlour; therefore they took the key, and opened [them]: and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth.
Obotavljali so se, dokler jih ni postalo sram in glej, vrat dvorane ni odprl. Zato so vzeli ključ in jih odprli in glej, njihov gospod je mrtev ležal na zemlji.
26 And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Seirah.
Ehúd pa je pobegnil, medtem ko so se zadrževali in šel onkraj klesancev in pobegnil v Seíro.
27 And it came to pass, when he was come, that he blew a trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the hill country, and he before them.
Pripetilo se je, ko je prišel, da je na gori Efrájim zatrobil na šofar in Izraelovi otroci so se z njim spustili z gore in on [sam] je bil pred njimi.
28 And he said unto them, Follow after me: for the LORD hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of Jordan against the Moabites, and suffered not a man to pass over.
Rekel jim je: »Sledite za menoj, kajti Gospod je vaše sovražnike Moábce izročil v vašo roko.« Odšli so dol za njim in zavzeli jordanske prehode proti Moábu in nobenemu človeku niso pustili iti čez.
29 And they smote of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, every lusty man, and every man of valour; and there escaped not a man.
Ob tistem času so iz Moába usmrtili okoli deset tisoč mož, vse krepke in vse junaške može; in tam ni utekel niti [en] človek.
30 So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest fourscore years.
Tako je bil tisti dan Moáb podjarmljen pod Izraelovo roko. In dežela je imela osemdeset let počitek.
31 And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, which smote of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox goad: and he also saved Israel.
Za njim je bil Anátov sin Šamgár, ki je z volovsko palico z bodico izmed Filistejcev usmrtil šeststo mož. Tudi on je osvobodil Izraela.
