Sodniki 10

1 Za Abimélehom je vstal Tolá, sin Puvája, sinú Dodója, mož iz Isahárja, da brani Izrael. Prebival je v Šamíru, na gori Efrájim.

After the time of Abimelech, a man of Issachar, Tola son of Puah, the son of Dodo, rose up to save Israel. He lived in Shamir, in the hill country of Ephraim.

2 Izraelu je sodil triindvajset let in umrl ter bil pokopan v Šamíru.

Tola judged Israel twenty-three years, and when he died, he was buried in Shamir.

3 Za njim je vstal Gileádec Jaír in Izraelu sodil dvaindvajset let.

Tola was followed by Jair the Gileadite, who judged Israel twenty-two years.

4 Imel je trideset sinov, ki so jahali na tridesetih osličjih žrebetih in imeli so trideset mest, ki se imenujejo Havot Jaír do tega dne, ki so v deželi Gileád.

He had thirty sons who rode on thirty donkeys. And they had thirty towns in the land of Gilead, which to this day are called Havvoth-jair.

5 Jaír je umrl in bil pokopan v Kamónu.

When Jair died, he was buried in Kamon.

6 Izraelovi otroci pa so v Gospodovih očeh ponovno počeli zlo in služili Báalom, Astarti, bogovom Sirije, bogovom Sidóna, bogovom Moába, bogovom Amónovih otrok in bogovom Filistejcev in zapustili so Gospoda in mu niso služili.

And again the Israelites did evil in the sight of the LORD. They served the Baals, the Ashtoreths, the gods of Aram, Sidon, and Moab, and the gods of the Ammonites and Philistines. Thus they forsook the LORD and did not serve Him.

7 Gospodova jeza je bila vroča zoper Izrael in prodal jih je v roke Filistejcev in v roke Amónovih otrok.

So the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He sold them into the hands of the Philistines and Ammonites,

8 Tisto leto so tlačili in zatirali Izraelove otroke; osemnajst let, vse Izraelove otroke, ki so bili na drugi strani Jordana, v deželi Amoréjcev, ki je v Gileádu.

who that very year harassed and oppressed the Israelites, and did so for eighteen years to all the Israelites on the other side of the Jordan in Gilead, the land of the Amorites.

9 Poleg tega so Amónovi otroci prečkali Jordan, da se borijo tudi zoper Juda, zoper Benjamina in zoper Efrájimovo hišo, tako, da je bil Izrael silno stiskan.

The Ammonites also crossed the Jordan to fight against Judah, Benjamin, and the house of Ephraim, and Israel was in deep distress.

10 Izraelovi otroci so vpili h Gospodu, rekoč: »Grešili smo zoper tebe, zato ker smo zapustili svojega Boga in služili tudi Báalom.«

Then the Israelites cried out to the LORD, saying, “We have sinned against You, for we have indeed forsaken our God and served the Baals.”

11 Gospod je Izraelovim otrokom rekel: » Mar vas nisem osvobodil pred Egipčani in pred Amoréjci, pred Amónovimi otroki in pred Filistejci?

The LORD replied, “When the Egyptians, Amorites, Ammonites, Philistines,

12 Tudi Sidónci, Amalečani in Maonci so vas zatirali in klicali ste k meni in osvobodil sem vas iz njihove roke.

Sidonians, Amalekites, and Maonites oppressed you and you cried out to Me, did I not save you from their hands?

13 Vendar ste me zapustili in služili drugim bogovom, zato vas ne bom več osvobajal.

But you have forsaken Me and served other gods, so I will no longer save you.

14 Pojdite in jokajte k bogovom, ki ste jih izbrali. Naj vas oni osvobodijo v času vaše stiske.«

Go and cry out to the gods you have chosen. Let them save you in your time of trouble.”

15 Izraelovi otroci so rekli Gospodu: »Grešili smo. Stôri nam, karkoli se ti zdi dobro. Prosimo te, samo osvobodi nas ta dan.«

“We have sinned,” the Israelites said to the LORD. “Deal with us as You see fit; but please deliver us today!”

16 Izmed sebe so odstranili tuje bogove in služili Gospodu. Njegova duša je bila užaloščena zaradi Izraelove bede.

So they put away the foreign gods from among them and served the LORD, and He could no longer bear the misery of Israel.

17 Potem so bili Amónovi otroci zbrani skupaj in se utaborili v Gileádu. Izraelovi otroci pa so se zbrali skupaj in se utaborili v Micpi.

Then the Ammonites were called to arms and camped in Gilead, and the Israelites assembled and camped at Mizpah.

18 Ljudstvo in gileádski princi so drug drugemu rekli: »Kateri mož je ta, ki se bo začel boriti zoper Amónove otroke? Ta bo poglavar nad vsemi prebivalci Gileáda.«

And the rulers of Gilead said to one another, “Whoever will launch the attack against the Ammonites will be the head of all who live in Gilead.”
