Judges 3
1 Now these are the nations which the LORD left, to test 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 least those who knew nothing of it before:
samo da bi rodovi Izraelovih otrok lahko vedeli, da jih naučijo vojne, vsaj tiste, ki prej niso ničesar vedeli o tem,
3 the five lords of the Philistines, all the Canaanites, the Sidonians, and the Hivites who lived on Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal Hermon to the entrance 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 They were left to test Israel by them, to know whether they would listen to the LORD’s commandments, which he commanded their fathers by 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 The children of Israel lived amongst the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
Izraelovi otroci so prebivali med Kánaanci, Hetejci, Amoréjci, Perizéjci, Hivéjci in Jebusejci
6 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 The children of Israel did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and forgot the LORD their God, and served the Baals and the Asheroth.
Izraelovi otroci so počeli zlo v Gospodovih očeh in pozabili Gospoda, svojega Boga in služili Báalom in ašeram.
8 Therefore the LORD’s anger burnt 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 When the children of Israel cried to 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 The LORD’s Spirit came on him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war, and the LORD delivered Cushan Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand. 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 The land had rest forty years, then Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
Dežela je imela štirideset let počitek in Kenázov sin Otniél je umrl.
12 The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done that which was evil in the LORD’s sight.
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 He gathered the children of Ammon and Amalek to himself; and he went and struck 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 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 to the LORD, the LORD raised up a saviour for them: Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a left-handed man. The children of Israel sent tribute by him to 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 Ehud made himself a sword which had two edges, a cubit in length; and he wore it under his clothing on 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 He offered the tribute to 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 When Ehud had finished offering the tribute, he sent away the people who carried the tribute.
Ko je končal s ponujanjem darila, je ljudstvo, ki je nosilo darilo, odposlal proč.
19 But he himself turned back from the stone idols that were by Gilgal, and said, “I have a secret message for you, O king.” The king said, “Keep silence!” All who stood by him left 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 Ehud came to him; and he was sitting by himself alone in the cool upper room. Ehud said, “I have a message from God to you.” 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 Ehud put out his left hand, and took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his body.
Ehúd je svojo levo roko iztegnil naprej, vzel bodalo s svojega desnega stegna in ga zabodel v njegov trebuh.
22 The handle also went in after the blade; and the fat closed on the blade, for he didn’t draw the sword out of his body; 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 out onto the porch, and shut the doors of the upper room on him, and locked them.
Potem je Ehúd šel naprej skozi preddverje ter za seboj zaprl vrata dvorane in jih zaklenil.
24 After he had gone, his servants came and saw that the doors of the upper room were locked. They said, “Surely he is covering his feet in the upper room.”
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 They waited until they were ashamed; and behold, he didn’t open the doors of the upper room. Therefore they took the key and opened them, and behold, their lord had fallen down dead on the floor.
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 Ehud escaped while they waited, passed beyond the stone idols, and escaped to Seirah.
Ehúd pa je pobegnil, medtem ko so se zadrževali in šel onkraj klesancev in pobegnil v Seíro.
27 When he had come, 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 led 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 He said to them, “Follow me; for the LORD has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand.” They followed him, and took the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites, and didn’t allow any 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 They struck at that time about ten thousand men of Moab, every strong man and every man of valour. No man escaped.
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. Then the land had rest eighty years.
Tako je bil tisti dan Moáb podjarmljen pod Izraelovo roko. In dežela je imela osemdeset let počitek.
31 After him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who struck six hundred men of the Philistines with an ox goad. 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.
