< Sodniki 2 >

1 Gospodov angel je prišel gor od Gilgála k Bohímu in rekel: »Primoral sem vas iti gor, ven iz Egipta in vas privedel v deželo, ki sem jo prisegel vašim očetom. Rekel sem: ›Nikoli ne bom prelomil svoje zaveze z vami.
And an angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you to the land which I swore to your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you.
2 In vi ne boste sklenili nobene zaveze s prebivalci te dežele; zrušili boste njihove oltarje.‹ Toda niste ubogali mojega glasu. Zakaj ste to storili?‹
And you shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; you shall throw down their altars: but you have not obeyed my voice: why have you done this?
3 Zato sem tudi rekel: ›Ne bom jih pognal izpred vas, temveč vam bodo kakor trni na vaših straneh in njihovi bogovi vam bodo zanka.‹«
Why I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare to you.
4 Pripetilo se je, ko je Gospodov angel te besede povedal vsem Izraelovim otrokom, da je ljudstvo povzdignilo svoj glas in zajokalo.
And it came to pass, when the angel of the LORD spoke these words to all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
5 Ime tega kraja so imenovali Bohím in tam so darovali Gospodu.
And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there to the LORD.
6 Ko je Józue pustil ljudstvu oditi, so Izraelovi otroci odšli, vsak mož v svojo dediščino, da deželo vzamejo v last.
And when Joshua had let the people go, the children of Israel went every man to his inheritance to possess the land.
7 Ljudstvo je služilo Gospodu vse Józuetove dni in vse dni starešin, ki so preživeli Józueta, ki so videli vsa velika Gospodova dela, ki jih je storil za Izrael.
And the people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the LORD, that he did for Israel.
8 Nunov sin Józue, Gospodov služabnik, je umrl, star sto deset let.
And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being an hundred and ten years old.
9 Pokopali so ga na meji njegove dediščine, v Timnát Heresu, na gori Efrájim, na severni strani Gáaševega hriba.
And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathheres, in the mount of Ephraim, on the north side of the hill Gaash.
10 Tudi ves ta rod je bil zbran k svojim očetom in tam je za njimi vstal drug rod, ki ni poznal Gospoda niti še ne del, ki jih je ta storil za Izrael.
And also all that generation were gathered to their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.
11 Izraelovi otroci so počeli zlo v Gospodovih očeh in služili Báalom.
And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim:
12 Zapustili so Gospoda, Boga svojih očetov, ki jih je privedel iz egiptovske dežele in sledili drugim bogovom, bogovom ljudstev, ki so bili okoli njih, se jim priklanjali in Gospoda izzivali k jezi.
And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves to them, and provoked the LORD to anger.
13 Zapustili so Gospoda in služili Báalu in Astarti.
And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and Ashtaroth.
14 Gospodova jeza je bila vroča zoper Izrael in izročil jih je v roke plenilcev, ki so jih oplenili in jih prodal v roke njihovih sovražnikov naokoli, tako da ne bi mogli več obstati pred svojimi sovražniki.
And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies.
15 Kamorkoli so odšli, je bila zoper njih Gospodova roka za zlo, kakor je Gospod rekel in kakor jim je Gospod prisegel. Bili so silno stiskani.
Wherever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for evil, as the LORD had said, and as the LORD had sworn to them: and they were greatly distressed.
16 Kljub temu je Gospod dvignil sodnike, ki so jih osvobajali iz roke tistih, ki so jih plenili.
Nevertheless the LORD raised up judges, which delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them.
17 Vendar niso hoteli prisluhniti svojim sodnikom, temveč so se odšli vlačugat za drugimi bogovi in se jim priklanjali. Hitro so se obrnili iz poti, po kateri so hodili njihovi očetje z uboganjem Gospodovih zapovedi, toda oni niso tako storili.
And yet they would not listen to their judges, but they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves to them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments of the LORD; but they did not so.
18 Ko jim je Gospod dvignil sodnike, potem je bil Gospod s sodnikom in jih vse sodnikove dni osvobajal iz roke njihovih sovražnikov, kajti to je pokesalo Gospoda zaradi njihovega stokanja, zaradi razloga tistih, ki so jih zatirali in jih slabili.
And when the LORD raised them up judges, then the LORD was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it repented the LORD because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them.
19 Pripetilo pa se je, ko je bil sodnik mrtev, da so se vrnili in se izpridili bolj kakor njihovi očetje v sledenju drugim bogovom, da jim služijo in se jim priklanjajo. Niso odnehali od svojih lastnih početij niti od svoje trmoglave poti.
And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they returned, and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down to them; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way.
20 Gospodova jeza je bila vroča zoper Izrael in rekel je: »Zato, ker je to ljudstvo prekršilo mojo zavezo, ki sem jo zapovedal njihovim očetom in niso prisluhnili mojemu glasu,
And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and he said, Because that this people has transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not listened to my voice;
21 odslej tudi jaz pred njimi ne bom podil kateregakoli izmed narodov, ki jih je pustil Józue, ko je umrl,
I also will not from now on drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died:
22 da bom lahko po njih preizkusil Izraela, če se bodo držali Gospodove poti, da hodijo po njej, kakor so se je držali njihovi očetje ali ne.«
That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.
23 Zato je Gospod pustil tiste narode, ne da bi jih naglo pognal ven niti jih ni izročil v Józuetovo roko.
Therefore the LORD left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.
