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 evil in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord gave them into the hand of Madiam 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 Madiam prevailed against Israel: and the children of Israel made for themselves because of Madiam the caves in the mountains, and the dens, and the holes in the rocks.
3 I kad bi Izrailjci posijali, dolažahu Madijani i Amalici i istoèni narod, dolažahu na njih.
And it came to pass when the children of Israel sowed, that Madiam and Amalec went up, and the children of the east went up together with 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 their fruits until they came to Gaza; and they left not the support of life in the land of Israel, not even ox or ass amongst the herds.
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 and their stock came up, and their tents were with them, as the locust in multitude, and there was no number to them and their camels; and they came to the land of Israel, and laid it waste.
6 Tada osiromaši Izrailj veoma od Madijana, i povikaše ka Gospodu sinovi Izrailjevi.
And Israel was greatly impoverished because of Madiam.
7 A kad povikaše sinovi Izrailjevi ka Gospodu od Madijana,
And the children of Israel cried to the Lord because of Madiam.
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,
And the Lord sent a prophet to the children of Israel; and he said to them, Thus says the Lord God of Israel, I am he that brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and I brought you up out of the house of your 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 Egypt, and out of the hand of all that afflicted you, and I cast them out before you; and I 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 to you, I [am] the Lord your God: you shall not fear the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell; but you listened not to 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 an angel of the Lord came, and sat down under the fir tree, which was in Ephratha in the land of Joas father of Esdri; and Gedeon his son [was] threshing wheat in a wine-press in order to escape from the face of Madiam.
12 I javi mu se anðeo Gospodnji, i reèe mu: Gospod je s tobom, hrabri junaèe!
And the angel of the Lord appeared to him and said to him, The Lord [is] with you, you mighty in strength.
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 Gedeon said to him, [Be gracious] with me, my Lord: but if the Lord is with us, why have these evils found us? and where are all his miracles, which our fathers have related to us, saying, Did not the Lord bring us up out of Egypt? and now he has cast us out, and given us into the hand of Madiam.
14 A Gospod ga pogleda i reèe mu: idi u toj sili svojoj, i izbaviæeš Izrailja iz ruku Madijanskih. Ne poslah li te?
And the angel of the Lord turned to him, and said, Go in this your strength, and you shall save Israel out of the hand of Madiam: behold, I have sent you.
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 Gedeon said to him, [Be gracious] with me, my Lord: whereby shall I save Israel? behold, my thousand is weakened in Manasse, 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 the angel of the Lord said to him, The Lord shall be with you, and you shall strike Madiam as one man.
17 A Gedeon mu reèe: ako sam našao milost pred tobom, daj mi znak da ti govoriš sa mnom.
And Gedeon said to him, If now I have found mercy in your eyes, and you will do this day for me all that you have spoken of 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 until I come to you, and I will bring forth an offering and offer it before you: and he said, I will remain until you return.
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 Gedeon went in, and prepared a kid of the goats, and an ephah of fine flour unleavened; and he put the flesh in the basket, and poured the broth into the pot, and brought them forth to him under the turpentine tree, and drew near.
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 to him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and put them on that rock, and pour out the broth close by: 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.
And the angel of the Lord stretched out the end of the rod that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened bread; and fire came up out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened bread, and the angel of the Lord vanished from his sight.
22 A Gedeon vidjeæi da bješe anðeo Gospodnji, reèe: ah Gospode Bože! zato li vidjeh anðela Gospodnjega licem k licu?
And Gedeon saw that he was an angel of the Lord; and Gedeon said, Ah, ah, Lord my God! for I have seen the angel of the Lord face to face.
23 A Gospod mu reèe: budi miran, ne boj se, neæeš umrijeti.
And the Lord said to him, Peace be to you, fear not, you shall not die.
24 I Gedeon naèini ondje oltar Gospodu, i nazva ga mir Gospodnji. Stoji i danas u Ofri Avijezeritskoj.
And Gedeon built there an altar to the Lord, and called it The peace of the Lord, until this day, as it is still inEphratha of the father of Esdri.
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 in that night, that the Lord said to him, Take the young bullock which your father has, even the second bullock of seven years old, and you shall destroy the altar of Baal which your father has, and the grove which is by itthou shall destroy.
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 you shall build an altar to the Lord your God on the top of this Maozi in the ordering[it], and you shall take the second bullock, and shall offer up whole burnt offerings with the wood of the grove, which you shall destroy.
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.
And Gedeon took ten men of his servants, and did as the Lord spoke to him: and it came to pass, as he feared the house of his father and the men of the city if he should 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 the men of the city rose up early in the morning; and behold, the altar of Baal had been demolished, and the grove by it had been destroyed; and they saw the second bullock, which Gedeon offered on the altar that had been built.
29 I rekoše jedan drugomu: ko to uèini? I traživši i raspitavši rekoše: Gedeon sin Joasov uèini to.
And a man said to his neighbour, Who has done this thing? and they enquired and searched, and learnt that Gedeon the son of Joas had done this thing.
30 Pa rekoše mještani Joasu: izvedi sina svojega da se pogubi, što raskopa oltar Valov i što isijeèe lug kod njega.
And the men of the city said to Joas, Bring out your son, and let him die, because he has destroyed the altar of Baal, and because he has destroyed the grove that is 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 Gedeon the son of Joas said to all the men who rose up against him, Do you now plead for Baal, or will you save him? whoever will plead for him, let him be slain this morning: if he be a god let him plead for himself, [because] one has thrown down his altar.
32 I prozva ga onoga dana Jeroval govoreæi: neka raspravi s njim Val što mu raskopa oltar.
And he called it in that day Jerobaal, saying, Let Baal plead thereby, because his altar has been thrown down.
33 A svi Madijani i Amalici i istoèni narod bijahu se skupili i prešavši preko Jordana bijahu stali u oko u dolini Jezraelu,
And all Madiam, and Amalek, and the sons of the east gathered themselves together, and encamped in the valley of Jezrael.
34 A duh Gospodnji naoruža Gedeona, i on zatrubi u trubu, i skupi oko sebe porodicu Avijezerovu.
And the Spirit of the Lord came upon Gedeon, and he blew with the horn, and Abiezer came to help 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 [Gedeon] sent messengers into all Manasse, and into Aser, and into Zabulon, and into Nephthali; and he went up to meet them.
36 Tada reèe Gedeon Bogu: ako æeš ti izbaviti mojom rukom Izrailja, kao što si rekao,
And Gedeon said to God, If you will save Israel by my hand, as you have said,
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 put the fleece of wool in the threshing floor: if there be dew on the fleece only, and drought on all the ground, I shall know that you will save Israel by my hand, as you have said.
38 I bi tako; jer kad usta sjutradan, iscijedi runo, i isteèe rose iz runa puna zdjela.
And it was so: and he rose up early in the morning, and wrung the fleece, and dew dropped from the fleece, a bowl full 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 Gedeon said to God, Let not, I pray you, your anger be kindled with me, and I will speak yet once; I will even yet make one trial more with the fleece: let now the drought be upon the fleece only, and let there be dew on all the ground.
40 I Bog uèini tako onu noæ; i bi samo runo suho a po svoj zemlji bi rosa.
And God did so in that night; and there was drought on the fleece only, and on all the ground there was dew.
