Sudije 2
1 I doðe anðeo Gospodnji od Galgala u Vokim i reèe: izveo sam vas iz Misira i doveo vas u zemlju za koju sam se zakleo ocima vašim; i rekoh: neæu pokvariti zavjeta svojega s vama dovijeka.
And an Angel of the Lord went up from Gilgal to the Place of Weeping, and he said: “I led you away from Egypt, and I led you into the land, about which I swore to your fathers. And I promised that I would not nullify my covenant with you, even forever:
2 A vi ne hvatajte vjere sa stanovnicima te zemlje, oltare njihove raskopajte. Ali ne poslušaste glasa mojega. Šta ste to uèinili?
but only if you would not form a pact with the inhabitants of this land. Instead, you should overturn their altars. Yet you were not willing to listen to my voice. Why have you done this?
3 Zato i ja rekoh: neæu ih odagnati ispred vas, nego æe vam biti kao trnje, i bogovi njihovi biæe vam zamka.
For this reason, I am not willing to destroy them before your face, so that you may have enemies, and so that their gods may be your ruin.”
4 A kad izgovori anðeo Gospodnji ove rijeèi svijem sinovima Izrailjevijem, narod podiže glas svoj i plaka.
And when the Angel of the Lord spoke these words to all the sons of Israel, they lifted up their voice, and they wept.
5 Zato prozvaše ono mjesto Vokim; i ondje prinesoše žrtve Gospodu.
And the name of that place was called, the Place of Weeping, or the Place of Tears. And they immolated victims to the Lord in that place.
6 A Isus raspusti narod, i razidoše se sinovi Izrailjevi svaki na svoje našljedstvo, da naslijede zemlju.
Then Joshua dismissed the people, and the sons of Israel went away, each one to his own possession, so that they might obtain it.
7 I služi narod Gospodu svega vijeka Isusova i svega vijeka starješina koje živješe dugo iza Isusa i koje bijahu vidjele sva velika djela Gospodnja što uèini Izrailju.
And they served the Lord, during all his days, and during all the days of the elders, who lived for a long time after him, and who knew all the works of the Lord, which he had done for Israel.
8 Ali umrije Isus sin Navin sluga Gospodnji, kad mu bješe sto i deset godina.
Then Joshua, the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died, being one hundred and ten years old.
9 I pogreboše ga u meðama našljedstva njegova u Tamnat-Aresu u gori Jefremovoj sa sjevera gori Gasu.
And they buried him in the parts of his possession at Timnath-Serah, on Mount Ephraim, before the northern side of Mount Gaash.
10 I sav onaj naraštaj pribra se k ocima svojim, i nasta drugi naraštaj iza njih, koji ne poznavaše Gospoda ni djela koja je uèinio Izrailju.
And that entire generation was gathered to their fathers. And there rose up others, who had not known the Lord and the works that he had done for Israel.
11 I sinovi Izrailjevi èiniše što je zlo pred Gospodom, i služiše Valima.
And the sons of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and they served the Baals.
12 I ostaviše Gospoda Boga otaca svojih, koji ih je izveo iz zemlje Misirske, i poðoše za drugim bogovima izmeðu bogova onijeh naroda koji bijahu oko njih, i klanjaše im se, i razgnjeviše Gospoda.
And they abandoned the Lord, the God of their fathers, who had led them away from the land of Egypt. And they followed foreign gods and the gods of the peoples who were living around them, and they adored them. And they provoked the Lord to wrath,
13 I ostaviše Gospoda, i služiše Valu i Astarotama.
forsaking him, and serving Baal and Ashtaroth.
14 I razgnjevi se Gospod na Izrailja, i dade ih u ruke ljudima koji ih plijenjahu, i prodade ih u ruke neprijateljima njihovijem unaokolo, i ne mogaše se više držati pred neprijateljima svojim.
And the Lord, having become angry against Israel, delivered them into the hands of plunderers, who seized them and sold them to the enemies that were living on all sides. Neither were they able to withstand their adversaries.
15 Kuda god polažahu, ruka Gospodnja bješe protiv njih na zlo, kao što bješe rekao Gospod i kao što im se bješe zakleo Gospod; i bijahu u velikoj nevolji.
Instead, wherever they wanted to go, the hand of the Lord was upon them, just as he said and just as he swore to them. And they were greatly afflicted.
16 Tada im Gospod podizaše sudije, koji ih izbavljahu iz ruku onijeh što ih plijenjahu.
And the Lord raised up judges, who would free them from the hands of their oppressors. But they were not willing to listen to them.
17 Ali ni sudija svojih ne slušaše, nego èiniše preljubu za drugim bogovima, i klanjaše im se; brzo zaðoše s puta kojim idoše oci njihovi slušajuæi zapovijesti Gospodnje; oni ne èiniše tako.
Fornicating with foreign gods and adoring them, they quickly deserted the way along which their fathers had advanced. And having heard the commandments of the Lord, they did all things to the contrary.
18 I kad im Gospod podizaše sudije, bijaše Gospod sa svakim sudijom, i izbavljaše ih iz ruku neprijatelja njihovijeh svega vijeka sudijina; jer se sažali Gospodu radi njihova uzdisanja na one koji im krivo èinjahu i koji ih cvijeljahu.
And while the Lord was raising up the judges, in their days, he was moved to mercy, and he listened to the groaning of the afflicted, and he freed them from the slaughter of their oppressors.
19 A kad sudija umrije, oni se vraæahu opet i bivahu gori od otaca svojih iduæi za bogovima drugim i služeæi im i klanjajuæi im se; ne ostavljahu se djela svojih niti putova svojih opakih.
But after a judge had died, they turned back, and they were doing much worse things than their fathers had done, following strange gods, serving them, and adoring them. They did not abandon their pursuits and their very stubborn way, by which they were accustomed to walk.
20 Zato se raspali gnjev Gospodnji na Izrailja, i reèe: kad je taj narod prestupio moj zavjet koji sam zapovjedio ocima njihovijem, i ne poslušaše glasa mojega,
And the fury of the Lord was enraged against Israel, and he said: “For this people has made void my covenant, which I had formed with their fathers, and they have despised listening to my voice.
21 Ni ja neæu više nijednoga goniti ispred njih izmeðu naroda koje ostavi Isus kad umrije,
And so, I will not destroy the nations that Joshua left behind when he died,
22 Da njima kušam Izrailja hoæe li se držati puta Gospodnjega hodeæi po njemu, kao što su se držali oci njihovi, ili neæe.
so that, by them, I may test Israel, as to whether or not they will keep the way of the Lord, and walk in it, just as their fathers kept it.”
23 I Gospod ostavi te narode i ne izagna ih odmah ne predavši ih u ruke Isusu.
Therefore, the Lord left all these nations, and he was not willing to quickly overthrow them, nor did he deliver them into the hands of Joshua.
