Judges 2
1 And a messenger of Jehovah goeth up from Gilgal unto Bochim,
Anđeo Jahvin dođe iz Gilgala u Bokim i reče: “Izveo sam vas iz Egipta i doveo vas u zemlju koju sam vam obećao zaklevši se ocima vašim. Rekao sam: 'Neću raskinuti Saveza svog s vama dovijeka.
2 and saith, 'I cause you to come up out of Egypt, and bring you in unto the land which I have sworn to your fathers, and say, I do not break My covenant with you to the age; and ye — ye make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land — their altars ye break down; and ye have not hearkened to My voice — what [is] this ye have done?
A vi ne sklapajte saveza sa stanovnicima ove zemlje; nego rušite njihove žrtvenike!' Ali vi niste poslušali moga glasa. Što ste učinili?
3 And I also have said, I do not cast them out from your presence, and they have been to you for adversaries, and their gods are to you for a snare.'
Zato vam kažem: neću ih odagnati pred vama. Nego, oni će vas tlačiti i bogovi njihovi bit će vam zamkom.”
4 And it cometh to pass, when the messenger of Jehovah speaketh these words unto all the sons of Israel, that the people lift up their voice and weep,
Kad Anđeo Jahvin izreče te riječi svim Izraelcima, narod zakuka i zaplaka.
5 and they call the name of that place Bochim, and sacrifice there to Jehovah.
I tako prozvaše ono mjesto Bokim i ondje prinesoše žrtve Jahvi.
6 And Joshua sendeth the people away, and the sons of Israel go, each to his inheritance, to possess the land;
Tada Jošua otpusti narod i raziđoše se Izraelci svaki na svoju baštinu da zaposjednu zemlju.
7 and the people serve Jehovah all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who prolonged days after Joshua, who saw all the great work of Jehovah which He did to Israel.
Narod je služio Jahvi svega vijeka Jošuina i svega vijeka starješina koje su nadživjele Jošuu i vidjele sva velika djela što ih je Jahve učinio Izraelu.
8 And Joshua son of Nun, servant of Jehovah, dieth, a son of a hundred and ten years,
Jošua, sin Nunov, sluga Jahvin, umrije u dobi od sto deset godina.
9 and they bury him in the border of his inheritance, in Timnath-Heres, in the hill-country of Ephraim, on the north of mount Gaash;
Sahraniše ga u kraju što ga je baštinio u Timnat Heresu, u Efrajimovoj gori, sjeverno od planine Gaaša.
10 and also all that generation have been gathered unto their fathers, and another generation riseth after them who have not known Jehovah, and even the work which He hath done to Israel.
A kada se sav onaj naraštaj pridružio svojim ocima, naslijedi ga drugi naraštaj koji nije mario za Jahvu ni za djela što ih je učinio Izraelu.
11 And the sons of Israel do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and serve the Baalim,
Tada su sinovi Izraelovi počeli činiti ono što Jahvi nije po volji i služili su baalima.
12 and forsake Jehovah, God of their fathers, who bringeth them out from the land of Egypt, and go after other gods (of the gods of the peoples who [are] round about them), and bow themselves to them, and provoke Jehovah,
Ostaviše Jahvu, Boga otaca svojih, koji ih je izveo iz zemlje egipatske, i pođoše za drugim bogovima između bogova okolnih naroda. Klanjahu im se, razgnjeviše Jahvu.
13 yea, they forsake Jehovah, and do service to Baal and to Ashtaroth.
Otpali su od Jahve da bi služili Baalu i Aštarti.
14 And the anger of Jehovah burneth against Israel, and He giveth them into the hand of spoilers, and they spoil them, and He selleth them into the hand of their enemies round about, and they have not been able any more to stand before their enemies;
Zato Jahve izli gnjev svoj na Izraela: prepusti ih pljačkašima da ih plijene, izruči ih neprijateljima uokolo, tako te se ne mogoše oduprijeti.
15 in every [place] where they have gone out, the hand of Jehovah hath been against them for evil, as Jehovah hath spoken, and as Jehovah hath sworn to them, and they are distressed — greatly.
Što bi god počeli, ruka se Jahvina okretala protiv njih na njihovu nesreću, kao što im je Jahve rekao i kao što im se zakleo. I tako zapadoše u veliku nevolju.
16 And Jehovah raiseth up judges, and they save them from the hand of their spoilers;
Tada im Jahve stade podizati suce da ih izbavljaju iz ruku onih koji su ih pljačkali.
17 and also unto their judges they have not hearkened, but have gone a-whoring after other gods, and bow themselves to them; they have turned aside [with] haste out of the way [in] which their fathers walked to obey the commands of Jehovah — they have not done so.
Ali oni ni svojih sudaca nisu slušali, nego se iznevjeriše s drugim bogovima te im se klanjahu. Brzo su zašli s puta kojim su išli oci njihovi slušajući Jahvine zapovijedi; oni nisu činili tako.
18 And when Jehovah raised up to them judges — then was Jehovah with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for it repenteth Jehovah, because of their groaning from the presence of their oppressors, and of those thrusting them away.
Kada im je podizao suce, Jahve bijaše sa svakim sucem te ih izbavljaše iz ruku njihovih neprijatelja za svega vijeka sučeva, jer se sažalilo Jahvi koliko su uzdisali pod jarmom onih koji su ih ugnjetavali.
19 And it hath come to pass, at the death of the judge — they turn back and have done corruptly above their fathers, to go after other gods, to serve them, and to bow themselves to them; they have not fallen from their doings, and from their stiff way.
A kada bi sudac umro, oni bi opet zapadali u veću pokvarenost nego njihovi oci. Išli su za drugim bogovima, služili im i klanjali im se, ne odustajući od svojih opakih djela i postupaka.
20 And the anger of Jehovah doth burn against Israel, and He saith, 'Because that this nation have transgressed My covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened to My voice —
Tada Jahve planu gnjevom na Izraela i reče: “Kad je taj narod pogazio Savez kojim sam obvezao njihove očeve i nije poslušao glasa moga,
21 I also continue not to dispossess any from before them of the nations which Joshua hath left when he dieth,
ni ja odsad neću pred njim potjerati ni jednoga između naroda što ih je Jošua po svojoj smrti ostavio”,
22 in order to try Israel by them, whether they are keeping the way of Jehovah, to go in it, as their fathers kept [it] or not.'
da bi njima stavio na kušnju Izraela: hoće li se ili neće držati Jahvinih putova kao što ih se držahu oci njihovi.
23 And Jehovah leaveth these nations, so as not to dispossess them hastily, and did not give them into the hand of Joshua.
Zato Jahve bijaše ostavio te narode i nije ih odmah izagnao ni predao Jošui u ruke.
