< 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 Galgal to the place of weepers, and said: I made you go out of Egypt, and have brought you into the land for which I swore to your fathers: and I promised that I would not make void my covenant with you for ever:
2 A vi ne hvatajte vjere sa stanovnicima te zemlje, oltare njihove raskopajte. Ali ne poslušaste glasa mojega. Šta ste to uèinili?
On condition that you should not make a league with the inhabitants of this land, but should throw down their altars: and you would not hear 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.
Wherefore I would not destroy them from before your face: that you may have enemies, and 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 children of Israel, they lifted up their voice, and wept.
5 Zato prozvaše ono mjesto Vokim; i ondje prinesoše žrtve Gospodu.
And the name of that place was called, The place of weepers, or of tears: and there they offered sacrifices to the Lord.
6 A Isus raspusti narod, i razidoše se sinovi Izrailjevi svaki na svoje našljedstvo, da naslijede zemlju.
And Josue sent away the people, and the children of Israel went every one to his own possession to hold 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 all his days, and the days of the ancients, that lived 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.
And Josue the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died, being a 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 borders of his possession in Thamnathsare in mount Ephraim, on the north side of mount Gaas.
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 all that generation was gathered to their fathers: and there arose others that knew not the Lord, and the works which he had done for Israel.
11 I sinovi Izrailjevi èiniše što je zlo pred Gospodom, i služiše Valima.
And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and they served Baalim.
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 left the Lord the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt: and they followed strange gods, and the gods of the people that dwelt round about them, and they adored them: and they provoked the Lord to anger.
13 I ostaviše Gospoda, i služiše Valu i Astarotama.
Forsaking him, and serving Baal and Astaroth.
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 being angry against Israel, delivered them into the hands of plunderers: who took them and sold them to their enemies, that dwelt round about: neither could they stand against their enemies:
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.
But whithersoever they meant to go, the hand of the Lord was upon them, as he had said, and as he had sworn to them: and they were greatly distressed.
16 Tada im Gospod podizaše sudije, koji ih izbavljahu iz ruku onijeh što ih plijenjahu.
And the Lord raised up judges, to deliver them from the hands of those that oppressed them: but they would not hearken 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.
Committing fornication with strange gods, and adoring them. They quickly forsook the way, in which their fathers had walked: and hearing the commandments of the Lord, they did all things 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 when the Lord raised them up judges, in their days he was moved to mercy, and heard the groanings of the afflicted, and delivered them from the slaughter of the 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 the judge was dead, they returned, and did much worse things than their fathers had done, following strange gods, serving them and adoring them. They left not their own inventions, and the 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 wrath of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he said: Behold this nation hath made void my covenant, which I had made with their fathers, and hath despised to hearken to my voice:
21 Ni ja neæu više nijednoga goniti ispred njih izmeðu naroda koje ostavi Isus kad umrije,
I also will not destroy the nations which Josue left, 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.
That through them I may try Israel, whether they will keep the way of the Lord, and walk in it, as their fathers kept it, or not.
23 I Gospod ostavi te narode i ne izagna ih odmah ne predavši ih u ruke Isusu.
The Lord therefore left all these nations, and would not quickly destroy them, neither did he deliver them into the hands of Josue.
