Sudije 6
1 A sinovi Izrailjevi èiniše što je zlo pred Gospodom, i Gospod ih dade u ruke Madijanima za sedam godina.
And the children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah: and Jehovah delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years.
2 I osili ruka Madijanska nad Izrailjem, te od straha Madijanskoga naèiniše sebi sinovi Izrailjevi jame koje su po gorama, i peæine i ograde.
And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel; and because of Midian the children of Israel made them the dens which are in the mountains, and the caves, and the strongholds.
3 I kad bi Izrailjci posijali, dolažahu Madijani i Amalici i istoèni narod, dolažahu na njih.
And so it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east; they came up against them;
4 I stavši u oko protiv njih, potirahu rod zemaljski dori do Gaze, i ne ostavljahu hrane u Izrailju, ni ovce ni vola ni magarca.
and they encamped against them, and destroyed the increase of the earth, till thou come unto Gaza, and left no sustenance in Israel, neither sheep, nor ox, nor ass.
5 Jer se podizahu sa stadima svojim i sa šatorima svojim, i dolažahu kao skakavci, tako mnogo, i ne bješe broja njima ni kamilama njihovijem, i dolazeæi u zemlju pustošahu je.
For they came up with their cattle and their tents; they came in as locusts for multitude; both they and their camels were without number: and they came into the land to destroy it.
6 Tada osiromaši Izrailj veoma od Madijana, i povikaše ka Gospodu sinovi Izrailjevi.
And Israel was brought very low because of Midian; and the children of Israel cried unto Jehovah.
7 A kad povikaše sinovi Izrailjevi ka Gospodu od Madijana,
And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried unto Jehovah because of Midian,
8 Gospod posla proroka k sinovima Izrailjevijem, a on im reèe: ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev: ja sam vas izveo iz Misira, i izveo sam vas iz doma ropskoga,
that Jehovah sent a prophet unto the children of Israel: and he said unto them, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you forth out of the house of bondage;
9 I izbavio sam vas iz ruke Misirske i iz ruke svijeh onijeh koji vas muèahu; i odagnao sam ih ispred vas, i dao sam vama zemlju njihovu.
and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all that oppressed you, and drove them out from before you, and gave you their land;
10 Pak vam rekoh: ja sam Gospod Bog vaš, na bojte se bogova Amoreja u kojih zemlji živite. Ali ne poslušaste glasa mojega.
and I said unto you, I am Jehovah your God; ye shall not fear the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell. But ye have not hearkened unto my voice.
11 Potom doðe anðeo Gospodnji i sjede pod hrastom u Ofri koji bijaše Joasa Avijezerita; a sin njegov Gedeon vrsijaše pšenicu na gumnu, da bi pobjegao s njom od Madijana.
And the angel of Jehovah came, and sat under the oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon was beating out wheat in the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites.
12 I javi mu se anðeo Gospodnji, i reèe mu: Gospod je s tobom, hrabri junaèe!
And the angel of Jehovah appeared unto him, and said unto him, Jehovah is with thee, thou mighty man of valor.
13 A Gedeon mu reèe: o gospodaru moj! kad je Gospod s nama, zašto nas snaðe sve ovo? i gdje su sva èudesa njegova, koja nam pripovijedaše oci naši govoreæi: nije li nas Gospod izveo iz Misira? a sada nas je ostavio Gospod i predao u ruke Madijanima.
And Gideon said unto him, Oh, my lord, if Jehovah is with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where are all his wondrous works which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not Jehovah bring us up from Egypt? but now Jehovah hath cast us off, and delivered us into the hand of Midian.
14 A Gospod ga pogleda i reèe mu: idi u toj sili svojoj, i izbaviæeš Izrailja iz ruku Madijanskih. Ne poslah li te?
And Jehovah looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and save Israel from the hand of Midian: have not I sent thee?
15 A on mu reèe: o Gospode, èim æu izbaviti Izrailja? eto, rod je moj najsiromašniji u plemenu Manasijinu, a ja sam najmanji u domu oca svojega.
And he said unto him, Oh, Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? behold, my family is the poorest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house.
16 Tada mu reèe Gospod: ja æu biti s tobom, te æeš pobiti Madijance kao jednoga.
And Jehovah said unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man.
17 A Gedeon mu reèe: ako sam našao milost pred tobom, daj mi znak da ti govoriš sa mnom.
And he said unto him, If now I have found favor in thy sight, then show me a sign that it is thou that talkest with me.
18 Nemoj otiæi odavde dokle se ja ne vratim k tebi i donesem dar svoj i stavim preda te. A on reèe: èekaæu dokle se vratiš.
Depart not hence, I pray thee, until I come unto thee, and bring forth my present, and lay it before thee. And he said, I will tarry until thou come again.
19 Tada otide Gedeon, i zgotovi jare i od efe brašna hljebove prijesne, i metnu meso u kotaricu a juhu u lonac, i donese mu pod hrast, i postavi.
And Gideon went in, and made ready a kid, and unleavened cakes of an ephah of meal: the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought it out unto him under the oak, and presented it.
20 A anðeo Božji reèe mu: uzmi to meso i te hljebove prijesne, i metni na onu stijenu, a juhu prolij. I on uèini tako.
And the angel of God said unto him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them upon this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so.
21 Tada anðeo Gospodnji pruži kraj od štapa koji mu bješe u ruci i dotaèe se mesa i hljebova prijesnijeh; i podiže se oganj sa stijene i spali meso i hljebove prijesne. I anðeo Gospodnji otide ispred oèiju njegovih.
Then the angel of Jehovah put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and there went up fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and the angel of Jehovah departed out of his sight.
22 A Gedeon vidjeæi da bješe anðeo Gospodnji, reèe: ah Gospode Bože! zato li vidjeh anðela Gospodnjega licem k licu?
And Gideon saw that he was the angel of Jehovah; and Gideon said, Alas, O Lord Jehovah! forasmuch as I have seen the angel of Jehovah face to face.
23 A Gospod mu reèe: budi miran, ne boj se, neæeš umrijeti.
And Jehovah said unto him, Peace be unto thee; fear not: thou shalt not die.
24 I Gedeon naèini ondje oltar Gospodu, i nazva ga mir Gospodnji. Stoji i danas u Ofri Avijezeritskoj.
Then Gideon built an altar there unto Jehovah, and called it Jehovah-shalom: unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
25 I istu noæ reèe mu Gospod: uzmi junca, koji je oca tvojega, junca drugoga od sedam godina; i raskopaj oltar Valov koji ima otac tvoj, i isijeci lug koji je kod njega.
And it came to pass the same night, that Jehovah said unto him, Take thy father’s bullock, even the second bullock seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the Asherah that is by it;
26 I naèini oltar Gospodu Bogu svojemu navrh ove stijene, na zgodnu mjestu; pa onda uzmi drugoga junca, i prinesi žrtvu paljenicu na drvima onoga luga koji isijeèeš.
and build an altar unto Jehovah thy God upon the top of this stronghold, in the orderly manner, and take the second bullock, and offer a burnt-offering with the wood of the Asherah which thou shalt cut down.
27 Tada uze Gedeon deset ljudi izmeðu sluga svojih, i uèini kako mu zapovjedi Gospod; ali se bojaše doma oca svojega i mještana, te ne uèini danju nego uèini noæu.
Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as Jehovah had spoken unto him: and it came to pass, because he feared his father’s household and the men of the city, so that he could not do it by day, that he did it by night.
28 A kad ujutru ustaše mještani, a to raskopan oltar Valov i lug kod njega isjeèen; a junac drugi prinesen na žrtvu paljenicu na oltaru naèinjenom.
And when the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was broken down, and the Asherah was cut down that was by it, and the second bullock was offered upon the altar that was built.
29 I rekoše jedan drugomu: ko to uèini? I traživši i raspitavši rekoše: Gedeon sin Joasov uèini to.
And they said one to another, Who hath done this thing? And when they inquired and asked, they said, Gideon the son of Joash hath done this thing.
30 Pa rekoše mještani Joasu: izvedi sina svojega da se pogubi, što raskopa oltar Valov i što isijeèe lug kod njega.
Then the men of the city said unto Joash, Bring out thy son, that he may die, because he hath broken down the altar of Baal, and because he hath cut down the Asherah that was by it.
31 A Joas reèe svjema koji stajahu oko njega: vi li hoæete da branite Vala? vi li hoæete da ga izbavite? ko ga brani, poginuæe jutros. Ako je bog, neka sam raspravi s njim što mu je raskopao oltar.
And Joash said unto all that stood against him, Will ye contend for Baal? or will ye save him? he that will contend for him, let him be put to death whilst [it is yet] morning: if he be a god, let him contend for himself, because one hath broken down his altar.
32 I prozva ga onoga dana Jeroval govoreæi: neka raspravi s njim Val što mu raskopa oltar.
Therefore on that day he called him Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal contend against him, because he hath broken down his altar.
33 A svi Madijani i Amalici i istoèni narod bijahu se skupili i prešavši preko Jordana bijahu stali u oko u dolini Jezraelu,
Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the children of the east assembled themselves together; and they passed over, and encamped in the valley of Jezreel.
34 A duh Gospodnji naoruža Gedeona, i on zatrubi u trubu, i skupi oko sebe porodicu Avijezerovu.
But the Spirit of Jehovah came upon Gideon; and he blew a trumpet; and Abiezer was gathered together after him.
35 I posla glasnike po svemu plemenu Manasijinu, i skupiše se oko njega; posla glasnike i u pleme Asirovo i Zavulonovo i Neftalimovo, te i oni izidoše pred njih.
And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh; and they also were gathered together after him: and he sent messengers unto Asher, and unto Zebulun, and unto Naphtali; and they came up to meet them.
36 Tada reèe Gedeon Bogu: ako æeš ti izbaviti mojom rukom Izrailja, kao što si rekao,
And Gideon said unto God, If thou wilt save Israel by my hand, as thou hast spoken,
37 Evo, ja æu metnuti runo na gumnu: ako rosa bude samo na runu a po svoj zemlji suho, onda æu znati da æeš mojom rukom izbaviti Izrailja, kao što si rekao.
behold, I will put a fleece of wool on the threshing-floor; if there be dew on the fleece only, and it be dry upon all the ground, then shall I know that thou wilt save Israel by my hand, as thou hast spoken.
38 I bi tako; jer kad usta sjutradan, iscijedi runo, i isteèe rose iz runa puna zdjela.
And it was so; for he rose up early on the morrow, and pressed the fleece together, and wrung the dew out of the fleece, a bowlful of water.
39 Opet reèe Gedeon Bogu: nemoj se gnjeviti na me, da progovorim još jednom; da obidem runom još jednom, neka bude samo runo suho, a po svoj zemlji neka bude rosa.
And Gideon said unto God, Let not thine anger be kindled against me, and I will speak but this once: let me make trial, I pray thee, but this once with the fleece; let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all the ground let there be dew.
40 I Bog uèini tako onu noæ; i bi samo runo suho a po svoj zemlji bi rosa.
And God did so that night: for it was dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.
