Sudije 6

1 A sinovi Izrailjevi èiniše što je zlo pred Gospodom, i Gospod ih dade u ruke Madijanima za sedam godina.

Afterwarde the children of Israel committed wickednesse in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord gaue them into the handes of Midian seuen yeres.

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 preuayled against Israel, and because of the Midianites the children of Israel made them dennes in the mountaines, and caues, and strong holdes.

3 I kad bi Izrailjci posijali, dolažahu Madijani i Amalici i istoèni narod, dolažahu na njih.

When Israel had sowen, then came vp the Midianites, the Amalekites, and they of the East, and came vpon 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 camped by them, and destroyed the fruite of the earth, euen til thou come vnto Azzah, and left no foode for Israel, neither sheepe, nor oxe, nor asse.

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 went vp, and their cattel, and came with their tentes as grashoppers in multitude: so that 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.

So was Israel exceedingly impouerished by the Midianites: therefore the children of Israel cryed vnto the Lord.

7 A kad povikaše sinovi Izrailjevi ka Gospodu od Madijana,

And when the children of Israel cryed vnto the Lord because of the Midianites,

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,

The Lord sent vnto the children of Israel a Prophet, who sayd vuto them, Thus sayth the Lord God of Israel, I haue brought you vp from Egypt, and haue brought you 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 haue deliuered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all that oppressed you, and haue cast them out before you, and giuen 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 sayde vnto you, I am the Lord your God: feare not the gods of the Amorites in whose lande you dwell: but ye haue not obeyed my voyce.

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 Angell of the Lord came, and sate vnder the oke which was in Ophrah, that perteined vnto Ioash the father of the Ezrites, and his sonne Gideon threshed wheate by the winepresse, to hide it from the Midianites.

12 I javi mu se anðeo Gospodnji, i reèe mu: Gospod je s tobom, hrabri junaèe!

Then the Angel of the Lord appeared vnto him, and said vnto him, The Lord is with thee, thou valiant man.

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.

To whome Gideon answered, Ah my Lord, if the Lord be with vs, why then is all this come vpon vs? and where be all his miracles which our fathers tolde vs of, and sayd, Did not the Lord bring vs out of Egypt? but now the Lord hath forsaken vs, and deliuered vs into the hand of the Midianites.

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 Lord looked vpon him, and sayd, Goe in this thy might, and thou shalt saue Israel out of the handes of the Midianites: haue 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 answered him, Ah my Lord, whereby shall I saue Israel? beholde, my father is poore in Manasseh, and I am the least in my fathers house.

16 Tada mu reèe Gospod: ja æu biti s tobom, te æeš pobiti Madijance kao jednoga.

Then the Lord sayd vnto him, I wil therefore 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 answered him, I pray thee, if I haue founde fauour in thy sight, then shewe me a signe, that thou 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, vntil I come vnto thee, and bring mine offring, and lay it before thee. And he sayde, I will tary vntill thou come againe.

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.

Then Gideon went in, and made ready a kidde, and vnleauened bread of an Ephah of floure, and put the flesh in a basket, and put the broth in a pot, and brought it out vnto him vnder the oke, 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 Angell of God saide vnto him, Take the flesh and the vnleauened bread, and lay them vpon this stone, and powre 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 Angell of the Lord put forth the ende of the staffe that he had in his hand, and touched the flesh and the vnleauened bread: and there arose vp fire out of the stone, and consumed the flesh and the vnleauened bread: so the Angel of the Lord 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 when Gideon perceiued that it was an Angel of the Lord, Gideon then sayde, Alas, my Lord God: for because I haue seene an Angell of the Lord face to face, I shall die.

23 A Gospod mu reèe: budi miran, ne boj se, neæeš umrijeti.

And the Lord said vnto him, Peace be vnto thee: feare 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 made an altar there vnto the Lord, and called it, Iehouah shalom: vnto this day it is in Ophrah, of the father of the Ezrites.

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 the same night the Lord sayd vnto him, Take thy fathers yong bullocke, and an other bullocke of seuen yeeres olde, and destroy the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut downe the groue 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 vnto the Lord thy God vpon the top of this rocke, in a plaine place: and take the seconde bullocke, and offer a burnt offringe with the woode of the groue, which thou shalt cut downe.

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 tooke tenne men of his seruants, and did as ye Lord bade him: but because he feared to doe it by day for his fathers housholde, and the men of the citie, 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 citie arose early in the morning, beholde, the altar of Baal was broken, and the groue cut downe that was by it, and the seconde bullocke offred vpon the altar that was made.

29 I rekoše jedan drugomu: ko to uèini? I traživši i raspitavši rekoše: Gedeon sin Joasov uèini to.

Therefore they saide one to another, Who hath done this thing? and when they inquired and asked, they saide, Gideon the sonne of Ioash 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 citie said vnto Ioash, Bring out thy sonne, that hee may dye: for he hath destroyed the altar of Baal, and hath also cut downe the groue 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 Ioash said vnto all that stood by him, Will ye pleade Baals cause? or will ye saue him? he that will contend for him, let him dye or the morning. If he be God, let him pleade for himselfe against him that hath cast downe his altar.

32 I prozva ga onoga dana Jeroval govoreæi: neka raspravi s njim Val što mu raskopa oltar.

And in that day was Gideon called Ierubbaal, that is, Let Baal pleade for himselfe because he hath broken downe 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 they of ye East, were gathered together, aud went and pitched in the valley of Izreel.

34 A duh Gospodnji naoruža Gedeona, i on zatrubi u trubu, i skupi oko sebe porodicu Avijezerovu.

But the Spirit of the Lord came vpon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet, and Abiezer was ioyned with 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 thorowout al Manasseh, which also was ioyned with him, and he sent messengers vnto Asher, and to Zebulun and to Naphtali, and they came vp to meete them.

36 Tada reèe Gedeon Bogu: ako æeš ti izbaviti mojom rukom Izrailja, kao što si rekao,

Then Gideon said vnto God, If thou wilt saue Israel by mine hand, as thou hast sayd,

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.

Beholde, I wil put a fleece of wooll in the threshing place: if the dewe come on the fleece onely, and it be drie vpon all the earth, then shall I be sure, that thou wilt saue Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said.

38 I bi tako; jer kad usta sjutradan, iscijedi runo, i isteèe rose iz runa puna zdjela.

And so it was: for he rose vp earely on the morow, and thrust the fleece together, and wringed the dew out of the fleece, and filled a bowle 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.

Againe, Gideon sayde vnto God, Be not angry with me, that I may speake once more: let me prooue once againe, I pray thee, with the fleece: let it now be drie onely vpon the fleece, and let dewe be vpon 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 that same night: for it was drie vpon the fleece onely, and there was dewe on all the ground.
