Judges 9
1 Then went Abimelech son of Jerubbaal, to Shechem, unto the brethren of his mother, —and spake unto them, and unto all the family of the house of his mother’s father, saying;
Jerubáalov sin Abiméleh je šel do Sihema, do bratov svoje matere in se z njimi posvetoval in z vso družino hiše očeta svoje matere, rekoč:
2 Speak, I pray you, in the ears of all the owners of Shechem—Which is better for you, that there should rule over you, seventy men, all sons of Jerubbaal, or that there should rule over you, one man? And remember that, your bone and your flesh, am I.
»Govorite, prosim vas, na ušesa vsem sihemskim gospodarjem: ›Ali je za vas bolje, da vsi Jerubáalovi sinovi, katerih je sedemdeset oseb, kraljujejo nad vami ali da nad vami kraljuje eden? Spomnite se tudi, da sem jaz vaša kost in vaše meso.‹«
3 So the brethren of his mother spake for him, in the ears of all the owners of Shechem, all these words, —and their heart inclined after Abimelech, for they said—Our own brother, is he.
Bratje njegove matere so vse te besede o njem govorili v ušesa vseh sihemskih gospodarjev in njihova srca nagnili, da sledijo Abimélehu, kajti rekli so: »On je naš brat.«
4 So they gave him seventy pieces of silver, out of the house of Baal-berith, —and Abimelech hired therewith, loose and unstable men, and they followed him.
Iz hiše Baal-berita so mu dali sedemdeset koščkov srebra, s katerimi je Abiméleh najel prazno-glave in nepomembne osebe, ki so mu sledili.
5 And he entered the house of his father, at Ophrah, and slew his brethren, sons of Jerubbaal, seventy men, upon one stone, —but there remained Jotham, the youngest son of Jerubbaal, for he had hidden himself.
Odšel je v hišo svojega očeta pri Ofri in na enem kamnu usmrtil svoje brate, Jerubáalove sinove, ki jih je bilo sedemdeset oseb. Kljub temu pa je ostal najmlajši Jerubáalov sin Jotám, kajti ta se je skril.
6 Then were gathered together all the owners of Shechem, and all the house of Millo, and they went and made Abimelech king, —by the oak of the pillar, that was in Shechem.
Vsi sihemski gospodarji so se zbrali skupaj in vsa Milójeva hiša in odšli ter Abiméleha postavili za kralja pri ravninskem stebru, ki je bil v Sihemu.
7 And, when it was told Jotham, he went and stood on the top of Mount Gerizim, and lifted up his voice, and cried aloud, —and said unto them—Hearken unto me, ye owners of Shechem, and may God, hearken unto you.
Ko so to povedali Jotámu, je ta odšel in se postavil na vrhu gore Garizím, povzdignil svoj glas, zavpil in jim rekel: »Prisluhnite mi, vi sihemski gospodarji, da bo Bog lahko prisluhnil vam.
8 The trees, went their way, to anoint over them, a king, —and they said unto the olive tree—Reign thou over us.
Drevesa so šla naprej ob času, da mazilijo kralja nad seboj in rekla so oljki: ›Kraljuj nad nami.‹
9 But the olive tree said unto them, Should I leave my fatness, which, in me, gods and men do honour, —and go to wave to and fro, over the trees?
Toda oljka jim je rekla: ›Mar naj zapustim svojo mastnost, s katero po meni častijo Boga in človeka in grem, da bi bila povišana nad drevesa?‹
10 Then said the trees unto the fig-tree, —Come! thou reign over us.
Drevesa so rekla figovemu drevesu: ›Ti pridi in kraljuj nad nami.‹
11 But the fig-tree said unto them, Should I leave my sweetness, and mine excellent increase, —and go to wave to and fro, over the trees?
Toda figovo drevo jim je reklo: ›Mar naj zapustim svojo sladkost in svoj dober sad in grem, da bi bilo povišano nad drevesa?‹
12 Then said the trees unto the vine, —Come! thou, reign over us.
Potem so drevesa rekla trti: ›Ti pridi in kraljuj nad nami.‹
13 But the vine said unto them, Should I leave my new wine, that rejoiceth gods and men, —and go to wave to and fro, over the trees?
Trta pa jim je rekla: ›Mar naj zapustim svoje vino, ki razveseljuje Boga in človeka in grem, da naj bi bila povišana nad drevesa?‹
14 Then said all the trees, unto the bramble, —Come, thou, to reign over us.
Potem so vsa drevesa rekla trnovemu grmu: ›Ti pridi in kraljuj nad nami.‹
15 And the bramble said unto the trees, If, in truth, ye are about to anoint me to be king over you, come, take refuge in my shade, —but, if not, there shall come forth fire out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon.
Trnov grm je rekel drevesom: ›Če me resnično mazilite za kralja nad seboj, potem pridite in svoje zaupanje položite v mojo senco, in če ne, naj ogenj pride iz trnovega grma in použije libanonske cedre.‹
16 Now, therefore, if, in truth and sincerity, ye have acted, in making Abimelech king, —and if ye have dealt, well, with Jerubbaal and with his house, and if, according to the deserving of his hands, ye have done unto him;
Zdaj torej, če ste storili resnično in iskreno v tem, da ste si postavili Abiméleha za kralja in če ste dobro postopali z Jerubáalom in njegovo hišo in mu storili glede na ravnanje njegovih rok
17 in that my father fought for you, and cast his soul away from before him, and rescued you out of the hand of Midian; —
(kajti moj oče se je bojeval za vas in v ospredju tvegal svoje življenje in vas osvobodil iz roke Midjáncev
18 yet have, ye, risen up against the house of my father, to-day, and slain his sons—seventy men, upon one stone, —and made Abimelech, son of his maidservant, king over the owners of Shechem, because he is, your brother;
in ste ta dan vstali zoper hišo mojega očeta in umorili njegove sinove, sedemdeset oseb na enem kamnu in postavili Abiméleha, sina njegove dekle, za kralja nad sihemskimi gospodarji, ker je vaš brat).
19 if then, in truth and in sincerity, ye have dealt with Jerubbaal and with his house, this day, rejoice ye in Abimelech, and let, him also, rejoice in you;
Če ste torej ta dan resnično in iskreno postopali z Jerubáalom in njegovo hišo, potem se veselite z Abimélehom in naj se tudi on veseli z vami.
20 but, if not, let fire come out from Abimelech, and devour the owners of Shechem, and the house of Millo, —and let fire come out from the owners of Shechem, and from the house of Millo, and devour Abimelech!
Toda če ne, naj ogenj pride od Abiméleha in pogoltne sihemske gospodarje in Milójevo hišo. In ogenj naj pride od sihemskih gospodarjev in od Milójeve hiše in požre Abiméleha.
21 And Jotham hasted away, and fled, and went to Beer, —and dwelt there, away from the face of Abimelech his brother.
Jotám je stekel proč, pobegnil in odšel v Beêr in tam prebival zaradi strahu pred svojim bratom Abimélehom.
22 And Abimelech ruled over Israel three years.
Ko je Abiméleh tri leta kraljeval nad Izraelom,
23 Then God let go a spirit of mischief between Abimelech and the owners of Shechem, —and the owners of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech:
je potem Bog med Abiméleha in sihemske gospodarje poslal zlega duha in sihemski gospodarji so zahrbtno postopali z Abimélehom,
24 that the cruel wrong to the seventy sons of Jerubbaal might [come upon them], —and that their blood might be laid upon Abimelech their brother, who slew them, and upon the owners of Shechem who strengthened his hands, to slay his brethren.
da bi ta krutost, storjena sedemdesetim Jerubáalovim sinovom lahko prišla in bi bila njihova kri položena na njihovega brata Abiméleha, ki jih je umoril in na sihemske gospodarje, ki so mu pomagali pri morjenju njegovih bratov.
25 So the owners of Shechem set for him liers in wait, upon the tops of the mountains, and they robbed all who crossed over them by the road, —and it was told Abimelech.
Sihemski gospodarji so zanj postavili prežavce v zasedi na vrhu gora in ti so oropali vse, ki so mimo njih prišli po tej poti, in to je bilo povedano Abimélehu.
26 And Gaal son of Ebed came, with his brethren, and they passed through to Shechem, —and the owners of Shechem put their trust in him.
Ebedov sin Gáal je prišel s svojimi brati in odšel preko v Sihem in sihemski gospodarji so svoje zaupanje položili vanj.
27 Then went they out into the fields, and gathered the fruit of their vineyards and trode [the grapes], and held a vintage festival, —and entered the house of their god, and did eat and drink, and poured contempt on Abimelech.
Odšli so ven na polja in obrali svoje vinograde in tlačili grozdje in se veselili in odšli v hišo svojega boga, jedli, pili in preklinjali Abiméleha.
28 And Gaal son of Ebed said: Who is Abimelech—and who is the son of Shechem, that we should serve him? Is he not the son of Jerubbaal? and Zebul his officer? Serve ye the men of Hamor, Shechem’s father, but why should, we, serve him?
Ebedov sin Gáal je rekel: »Kdo je Abiméleh in kdo je Sihem, da bi mu služili? Mar ni on Jerubáalov sin? In Zebúl njegov častnik? Služite možem Sihemovega očeta Hamórja, kajti zakaj bi mi služili njemu?
29 Would, then, this people were in my hand! that I might set aside Abimelech, —and say to Abimelech, Increase thine army, and come out!
Bog daj, da bi bilo to ljudstvo pod mojo roko! Potem bi odstranil Abiméleha.« In Abimélehu je rekel: »Okrepi svojo vojsko in pridi ven.«
30 And, when Zubul, governor of the city, heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, then was kindled his anger.
Ko je Zebúl, vladar mesta, slišal besede Ebedovega sina Gáala, je bila njegova jeza vžgana.
31 And he sent messengers unto Abimelech, by deceit, saying, —Lo! Gaal son of Ebed, and his brethren, are coming into Shechem; and lo! are fortifying the city against thee.
Na skrivnem je poslal poslance k Abimélehu, rekoč: »Glej, Ebedov sin Gáal in njegovi bratje so prišli v Sihem in glej, zoper tebe utrjujejo mesto.
32 Now, therefore, up by night, thou and the people that are with thee, and lie in wait in the field;
Zdaj se torej dvigni ponoči ti in ljudstvo, ki je s teboj in na polju prežite v zasedi
33 and it shall be, in the morning, about sunrise, thou shalt get up early, and spread thyself out against the city, —when lo! he and the people that are with him coming out against thee, so shalt thou do unto him as thy hand shall find opportunity.
in zgodilo se bo, da zjutraj, takoj ko bo sonce vzšlo, da boš zgodaj vstal in se nameril na mesto. In glej, ko bodo on in ljudstvo, ki je z njim, prišli ven zoper tebe, potem jim boš lahko storil kakor boš našel priložnost.«
34 So Abimelech rose up, and all the people that were with him, by night, —and they lay in wait above Shechem, in four companies.
Abiméleh je ponoči vstal in vse ljudstvo, ki je bilo z njim in so v štirih skupinah prežali zoper Sihem.
35 Then came forth Gaal son of Ebed, and took his stand at the opening of the gate of the city, —so Abimelech rose up, and the people that were with him, from the place of ambush.
Ebedov sin Gáal je odšel ven in stal v vhodu velikih vrat mesta. Abiméleh in ljudstvo, ki je bilo z njim, pa je vstalo od prežanja.
36 And, when Gaal saw the people, he said unto Zebul, Lo! people coming down from the tops of the mountains. And Zebul said unto him, The shadow of the mountains, thou seest, like men.
Ko je Gáal zagledal ljudstvo, je rekel Zebúlu: »Glej, tam prihaja ljudstvo dol iz vrha gorovja.« Zebúl mu je rekel: »Senco gorovja vidiš, kakor bi bili možje.«
37 Then did Gaal yet further speak, and say—Lo! people coming down from the highest part of the land, —and one company, coming in by way of the Conjurers’ Terebinth.
Gáal je ponovno spregovoril in rekel: »Vidiš, tam prihaja dol ljudstvo po sredi dežele in druga skupina prihaja vzdolž ravnine Maonim.«
38 So then Zebul said unto him—Where, then, is thy mouth that kept on saying, Who is Abimelech, that we should serve him? Is not, this, the people which thou didst despise? Go forth, I pray thee, now, and fight with them!
Potem mu je Zebúl rekel: »Kje so sedaj tvoja usta, s katerimi praviš: ›Kdo je Abiméleh, da bi mu služili?‹ Mar ni to ljudstvo, ki si ga preziral? Pojdi sedaj ven, prosim te in se bori z njimi.«
39 And Gaal went forth before the owners of Shechem, —and fought against Abimelech.
Gáal je odšel ven pred sihemskimi gospodarji in se boril z Abimélehom.
40 And Abimelech chased him, and he fled before him, —and there fell a multitude of slain as far as the entering of the gate.
Abiméleh ga je pregnal in ta je pobegnil pred njim in mnogi so bili zrušeni in ranjeni, celó do vhoda velikih vrat.
41 Then dwelt Abimelech in Arumah, —and Zebul thrust out Gaal and his brethren, that they should not dwell in Shechem.
Abiméleh je prebival pri Arúmi, Zebúl pa je vrgel ven Gáala in njegove brate, da ne bi prebivali v Sihemu.
42 And it came to pass, on the morrow, that the people went forth into the field, —and they told Abimelech.
Naslednji dan se je pripetilo, da je ljudstvo odšlo ven na polje in povedali so Abimélehu.
43 So he took the people and divided them into three companies, and lay in wait in the field, —and he looked, and lo! the people coming forth out of the city, so he rose up against them, and smote them.
Ta je vzel ljudstvo in jih razdelil v tri skupine. Na polju so prežali v zasedi in glej, ljudstvo je prišlo ven iz mesta. Vstal je zoper njih in jih udaril.
44 And, Abimelech, and the companies that were with him, spread themselves out, and [one of the companies] took their stand at the opening of the gate of the city, —while, the two companies, spread themselves out against all that were in the field, and smote them.
Abiméleh in skupina, ki je bila z njim, je pohitela naprej in stala na vhodu velikih vrat mesta in dve drugi skupini sta stekli nad vse ljudstvo, ki je bilo na poljih in jih usmrtili.
45 And, Abimelech, fought against the city, all that day, and captured the city, the people also that were therein, he slew, —and brake down the city, and sowed it with salt.
Abiméleh se je ves tisti dan boril zoper mesto, zavzel mesto, usmrtil ljudstvo, ki je bilo v njem, premagal mesto in ga potresel s soljo.
46 And, when all the owners of the tower of Shechem heard, they entered into the basement of the house of El-berith.
Ko so vsi gospodarji sihemskega stolpa to slišali, so vstopili v trdnjavo hiše boga Berita.
47 And it was told Abimelech, that all the owners of the tower of Shechem had gathered themselves together.
To je bilo povedano Abimélehu, da so bili vsi gospodarji sihemskega stolpa zbrani skupaj.
48 So Abimelech went up Mount Zalmon, he and all the people that were with him, and Abimelech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bough from the trees, and lifted it, and laid it on his shoulder, —and said unto the people that were with him—What ye have seen me do, haste! do likewise.
Abiméleh se je povzpel na goro Calmón, on in vse ljudstvo, ki je bilo z njim in Abiméleh je v svojo roko vzel sekiro, odsekal vejo iz dreves, jo vzel in jo položil na svojo ramo in rekel ljudstvu, ki je bilo z njim: »Kar ste videli storiti mene, pohitite in storite, kakor sem storil jaz.«
49 So, even all the people cut down every man his bough, and followed Abimelech, and laid them over the basement, and set it on fire over them who were therein, —even all the men of the tower of Shechem died about a thousand men and women.
Podobno je vse ljudstvo odsekalo vsak svojo vejo, sledilo Abimélehu, jih položili k trdnjavi in zažgali trdnjavo nad njimi. Tako da so umrli tudi vsi ljudje iz sihemskega stolpa, okoli tisoč mož in žena.
50 Then went Abimelech unto Thebez, —and encamped against Thebez, and captured it.
Potem je Abiméleh odšel v Tebéc, se utaboril zoper Tebéc in ga zavzel.
51 Now, a strong tower, was in the midst of the city, and there fled thither all the men and the women, and all the owners of the city, and shut themselves in, —and went up on the roof of the tower.
Toda tam, znotraj mesta, je bil močan stolp in tja so pobegnili vsi možje in žene in vsi iz mesta in ga za seboj zaprli in se spravili na vrh stolpa.
52 And Abimelech came in as far as the tower, and fought against it, —and so came near, as far as the entrance of the tower, to burn it with fire.
Abiméleh je prišel k stolpu, se boril zoper njega in se približal vratom stolpa, da bi ga zažgal z ognjem.
53 And a certain woman cast an upper millstone upon the head of Abimelech, —and brake in pieces his skull.
Neka ženska je kos mlinskega kamna vrgla na Abimélehovo glavo in razbila njegovo lobanjo.
54 Then called he hastily unto the young man bearing his armour, and said unto him—Draw thy sword, and put me to death, lest they say of me, A woman, slew him! So his young man thrust him through, and he died.
Potem je naglo zaklical k mladeniču, svojemu nosilcu bojne opreme in mu rekel: »Izvleci svoj meč in me usmrti, da ne bodo ljudje o meni rekli: ›Ubila ga je ženska.‹« In njegov mladenič ga je prebodel in ta je umrl.
55 And, when the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was, dead, they went their way every man to his own place.
Ko so možje iz Izraela videli, da je bil Abiméleh mrtev, so odšli vsak mož na svoj kraj.
56 Thus did God requite the wickedness of Abimelech, which he had done to his father, in slaying his seventy brethren;
Tako je Bog povrnil Abimélehovo zlobnost, ki jo je storil svojemu očetu z umorom svojih sedemdesetih bratov
57 all the wickedness also, of the men of Shechem, did God requite upon their own head, —and so brought in upon, them the curse of Jotham, son of Jerubbaal.
in vse zlo sihemskih ljudi je Bog povrnil na njihove glave in nadnje je prišlo prekletstvo Jerubáalovega sina Jotáma.
