< Judges 6 >
1 Forsothe the sones of Israel diden yuel in the `siyt of the Lord, and he bitook hem in the hond of Madian seuene yeer.
Opet su Izraelci činili što je zlo u Jahvinim očima; i Jahve ih predade u ruke Midjancima za sedam godina.
2 And thei weren oppressid of hem greetly; and `thei maden dichis, and dennes to hem silf in hillis, and strongeste places to fiyte ayen.
Teška bijaše ruka Midjanaca nad Izraelom. Da bi izmakli Midjancima, Izraelci se sklanjahu u gorske pukotine, spilje i skrovišta.
3 And whanne Israel hadde sowe, Madian stiede, and Amalech, and othere of the `naciouns of the eest;
I kada bi Izraelci posijali, dolazili bi na njih Midjanci i Amalečani i sinovi Istoka.
4 and thei settiden tentis at the sones of Israel, and wastiden alle thingis `as tho weren in eerbis, ethir grene corn, `til to the entryng of Gaza, and outirli thei leften not in Israel ony thing perteynynge to lijf, not scheep, not oxun, not assis.
Utaborivši se na njihovoj zemlji, uništavali bi rod zemlje sve do Gaze. Ne ostavljahu Izraelu ništa da se prehrani, ni ovce ni koze, ni vola ni magarca,
5 For thei and alle her flockis camen with her tabernaclis, and at the licnesse of locustus thei filliden alle thingis, and a multitude of men and of camels was with out noumbre, and wastiden what euer thing thei touchiden.
jer dolažahu sa svojim stadima i svojim šatorima u takvu mnoštvu kao skakavci; ne bijaše broja njima ni njihovim devama; preplavili bi zemlju, opustošili je.
6 And Israel was `maad low greetli in the siyt of Madian.
Tako su Midjanci bacili Izraela u veliku bijedu te Izraelci zavapiše Jahvi.
7 And Israel criede to the Lord, `and axyde help ayens Madianytis; and he sente to hem a man,
Kad su Izraelci zavapili Jahvi zbog Midjanaca,
8 a profete, and he spak, The Lord God of Israel seith these thingis, Y made you to stie fro Egipt, and Y ledde you out of the hows of seruage,
Jahve posla Izraelcima proroka koji im reče: “Ovako kaže Jahve, Bog Izraelov: 'Ja sam vas izveo iz Egipta, izbavio vas iz kuće ropstva.
9 and Y delyueride you fro the hond of Egipcians, and of alle enemyes that turmentiden you; and Y castide hem out at youre entryng, and Y yaf to you `the lond of hem;
Ja sam vas oslobodio od ruke Egipćana i od ruke svih vaših tlačitelja. Protjerao sam ih pred vama, dao vam njihovu zemlju
10 and Y seide, Y am `youre Lord God; drede ye not the goddis of Ammorreis, in whose lond ye dwellen; and ye nolden here my vois.
i rekao vam: Ja sam Jahve, Bog vaš. Ne štujte bogova Amorejaca u kojih zemlji živite. Ali vi ne poslušaste moga glasa.'”
11 Forsothe an aungel of the Lord cam, and sat undur an ook, that was in Effra, and perteynede to Joas, fadir of the meinee of Ezri. And whanne Gedeon, `his sone, threischide out, and purgide wheetis in a pressour,
Anđeo Jahvin dođe i sjede pod hrast kod Ofre koji pripadaše Joašu Abiezerovu. Njegov sin Gideon vrhao je pšenicu na tijesku da bi je sačuvao od Midjanaca.
12 that he schulde fle Madian, an aungel of the Lord apperide to hym, and seide, The Lord be with thee, thou strongeste of men.
I ukaza mu se Anđeo Jahvin i reče mu: “Jahve s tobom, hrabri junače!”
13 And Gedeon seide to hym, My lord, Y biseche, if the Lord is with vs, whi therfor han alle these yuels take vs? Where ben the merueils of hym, whiche oure fadris telden, and seiden, The Lord ledde vs out of Egipt? `Now forsothe he hath forsake vs, and hath bitake vs in the hond of Madian.
Gideon mu odgovori: “Oh, gospodaru, ako je Jahve s nama, zašto nas sve ovo snađe? Gdje su sva ona čudesa njegova o kojima nam pripovijedahu oci naši govoreći: 'Nije li nas Jahve iz Egipta izveo?' A sada nas je Jahve ostavio, predao nas u ruke Midjancima.”
14 And the Lord bihelde to hym, and seide, Go thou in this strengthe of thee, and thou schalt delyuere Israel fro the hond of Madian; wite thou, that Y sente thee.
Jahve se tad okrenu prema njemu i reče mu: “Idi s tom snagom u sebi i izbavit ćeš Izraela iz ruke Midjanaca. Ne šaljem li te ja?”
15 Which Gedeon answeride, and seide, My lord, Y biseche, in what thing schal Y delyuere Israel? Lo! my meynee is the loweste in Manasses, and Y am the leeste in the hows of my fadir.
“Ali, gospodaru”, odgovori mu Gideon, “kako ću izbaviti Izraela? Moj je rod najmanji u Manašeovu plemenu, a ja sam posljednji u kući svoga oca.”
16 And the Lord seide to hym, Y schal be with thee, and thou schalt smyte Madian as o man.
Jahve mu reče: “Ja ću biti s tobom te ćeš pobijediti Midjance kao jednoga.”
17 And Gedeon seide, If Y haue foundun grace bifor thee, yyue to me a signe, that thou, that spekist to me, art sente of Goddis part;
Gideon mu reče: “Ako sam našao milost u tvojim očima, daj mi znak da ti govoriš sa mnom.
18 go thou not `awei fro hennus, til Y turne ayen to thee, and brynge sacrifice, and offre to thee. Whiche answeride, Y schal abide thi comyng.
Nemoj otići odavde dok se ne vratim s darom i stavim ga preda te.” A on odgovori: “Ostat ću dok se ne vratiš.”
19 And so Gedeon entride, and sethide a kide, and took therf looues of a buyschel of mell, and fleischis in a panyere; and he sente the broth of fleischis in a pot, and bar alle thingis vndur an ook, and offride to hym.
Gideon ode, zgotovi jare i od efe brašna načini beskvasne hljebove, stavi meso u košaricu i juhu u lonac pa donese sve to pod hrast.
20 To whom the aungel of the Lord seide, Take thou the fleischis, and therf looues, and putte on that stoon, and schede the broth aboue. And whanne he hadde do so,
Anđeo Jahvin reče mu: “Uzmi meso i beskvasne hljebove, stavi ih na tu stijenu, a juhu prolij.” On učini tako.
21 the aungel of the Lord helde forth the `ende of the yerde which he helde in the hond, and he touchide the fleischis, and the therf looues; and fier stiede fro the stoon, and wastide the fleischis, and therf looues. Forsothe the aungel of the Lord vanyschide fro hise iyen.
Anđeo Jahvin tad uze štap što ga je držao i vrhom dotaknu meso i beskvasne hljebove. Oganj planu iz stijene, spali meso i beskvasne hljebove. Anđeo Jahvin nato iščeze pred njegovim očima.
22 And Gedeon siy that he was `an aungel of the Lord, and seide, Lord God, alas to me, for Y siy the aungel of the Lord face to face.
Tad Gideon vidje da je to bio Anđeo Jahvin i reče: “Jao, Jahve, Gospode! Anđela Jahvina vidjeh licem u lice!”
23 And the Lord seide to hym, Pees be with thee; drede thou not, thou schalt not die.
Jahve mu odgovori: “Mir s tobom! Ne boj se, nećeš umrijeti!”
24 Therfor Gedeon bildide there an auter to the Lord, and he clepide it the Pees of the Lord, `til in to present dai. And whanne he was yit in Effra, which is of the meynee of Ezri, the Lord seide to hym in that nyyt,
Gideon podiže na tome mjestu žrtvenik Jahvi i nazva ga “Jahve-Mir”. Žrtvenik još i danas stoji u Ofri Abiezerovoj.
25 Take thou `the bole of thy fadir, and anothir bole of seuene yeer, and thou schalt distrie the auter of Baal, which is thi fadris, and kitte thou doun the wode, which is aboute the auter;
Iste noći Jahve reče Gideonu: “U svojega oca uzmi utovljena junca, junca od sedam godina, i razori Baalov žrtvenik i posijeci gaj pokraj njega.
26 and thou schalt bilde an auter to thi Lord God in the hiynesse of this stoon, on which thou puttidist sacrifice bifore; and thou schalt take the secounde bole, and thou schalt offre brent sacrifice on the heep of trees, whiche thou kittidist doun of the wode.
Potom podigni žrtvenik Jahvi, Bogu svome, na vrhu te gorske stijene i dobro ga uredi. Uzmi junca i prinesi paljenicu na drvima Ašere što ih u gaju nasiječeš.”
27 Therfore Gedeon took ten men of hise seruauntis, and dide as the Lord comaundide to hym. Sotheli Gedeon dredde the hows of his fadir, and the men of that citee, and nolde do bi dai, but fillide alle thingis bi nyyt.
Tada Gideon uze deset ljudi između svojih slugu i učini kako mu je zapovjedio Jahve. Ali kako se bojao svoje obitelji i građana, učini to noću.
28 And whanne men of that citee hadde rise eerly, thei sien the auter of Baal distried, and the wode kit doun, and the tothir bole put on the auter, that was bildid thanne.
Kad su građani sutradan poranili, a to razoren Baalov žrtvenik i gaj posječen pored njega, a junac žrtvovan kao paljenica na novom oltaru.
29 And thei seiden togidere, Who hath do this? And whanne thei enqueriden the doer of the deed, it was seid, Gedeon, the sone of Joas, dide alle these thingis.
I pitahu jedni druge: “Tko je to učinio?” Ispitaše, istražiše pa rekoše: “Gideon, Joašev sin, učini to.”
30 And thei seiden to Joas, Brynge forth thi sone hidur, that he die, for he distriede the auter of Baal, and kittide doun the wode.
Tada građani rekoše Joašu: “Izvedi sina da umre jer je razorio Baalov žrtvenik i posjekao gaj pored njega.”
31 To whiche he answeride, Whether ye ben the venieris of Baal, that ye fiyte for hym? he that is aduersarie of hym, die, bifor that the `liyt of the morew dai come; if he is God, venge he hym silf of hym that castide doun his auter.
Joaš odgovori svima koji stajahu oko njega: “Zar ćete vi braniti Baala? Zar ćete ga vi spasavati? Tko brani Baala, bit će pogubljen prije sutrašnjeg dana. Ako je on bog, neka se sam brani od Gideona što mu je razorio žrtvenik.”
32 Fro that dai Gedeon was clepid Gerobaal, for Joas hadde seid, Baal take veniaunce of hym that castide doun his auter.
Toga dana prozvali su Gideona Jerubaal jer se govorilo: “Neka sam Baal s njim obračuna što mu je srušio žrtvenik.”
33 Therfor al Madian, and Amalech, and the puplis of the eest weren gadirid to gidere, and passiden Jordan, and settiden tentis in the valey of Jezrael.
Svi Midjanci, Amalečani i sinovi Istoka bijahu se sakupili i, prešavši Jordan, utaborili se u Jizreelskoj ravnici.
34 Forsothe the spirit of the Lord clothide Gedeon; `and he sownede with a clarioun, and clepide to gidere the hows of Abiezer, that it schulde sue hym.
Duh Jahvin obuze Gideona i on zasvira u rog, a Abiezerov rod stade iza njega.
35 And he sente messangeris in to al Manasses, and he suede Gedeon; and he sente othere messangeris in to Aser, and Zabulon, and Neptalym, whiche camen to hym.
Posla on glasnike po svem plemenu Manašeovu te i oni stadoše iza njega. Posla glasnike i u pleme Ašerovo, Zebulunovo i Naftalijevo te im i oni krenuše u susret.
36 And Gedeon seide to the Lord, If thou makist saaf Israel bi myn hond, as thou hast spoke,
Gideon reče Bogu: “Ako zaista hoćeš osloboditi Izraela mojom rukom, kao što si obećao,
37 Y schal putte this flees of wolle in the corn floor; if dew is in the flees aloone, and drynesse is in al the erthe, Y schal wite, that thou schalt delyuere Israel bi myn hond, as thou hast spoke.
evo ću metnuti ovčje runo na gumno: ako bude rose samo na runu, a zemlja ostane suha, tada ću znati da ćeš mojom rukom izbaviti Izraela, kao što si obećao.”
38 And it was don so. And he roos bi nyyt, and whanne the flees was wrongun out, he fillide a pot with deew;
I bi tako. Gideon urani sutradan te iscijedi rosu iz runa - punu zdjelu vode.
39 and he seide eft to the Lord, Thi strong veniaunce be not wrooth ayens me, if Y asaie, `that is, axe a signe, yit onys, and seke a signe in the flees; Y preye, that the flees aloone be drie, and al the erthe be moist with deew.
Opet Gideon reče Bogu: “Ne razgnjevi se na me što ti progovaram još jednom. Dopusti mi da još ovaj put pokušam s runom: neka samo runo bude suho, a neka po svoj zemlji bude rosa!”
40 And the Lord dide in that nyyt, as Gedeon axide; and drynesse was in the flees aloone, and deew was in al the erthe.
I Bog one noći učini tako: samo je runo ostalo suho, a po svoj zemlji pala rosa.
