< 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 the messenger of Yahweh came up from Gilgal, unto Bochim. And he said—I led you up out of Egypt, and brought you into the land, which I had sworn unto your fathers, And I said, I will not break my covenant with you, to times age-abiding;
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?‹
But, ye, must not solemnise a covenant with the inhabitants of this land, Their altars, must ye tear down, —But ye have not hearkened unto my voice, what is this ye have done?
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.‹«
Wherefore also I said, I will not drive them out from before you, —but they shall be your adversaries, and, their gods, shall become unto you a snare.
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 messenger of Yahweh had spoken these words unto all the sons of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
5 Ime tega kraja so imenovali Bohím in tam so darovali Gospodu.
So they called the name of that place, Bochim, and offered sacrifice there, unto Yahweh.
6 Ko je Józue pustil ljudstvu oditi, so Izraelovi otroci odšli, vsak mož v svojo dediščino, da deželo vzamejo v last.
Now, when Joshua had let the people go, the sons of Israel went their way, every man to his inheritance, to take possession of 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 Yahweh all the days of Joshua, —and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great work of Yahweh which he had wrought for Israel.
8 Nunov sin Józue, Gospodov služabnik, je umrl, star sto deset let.
So then Joshua, the son of Nun, the servant of Yahweh, died, —being a 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 within the bounds of his inheritance, in Timnath-heres, in the hill country of Ephraim, —on the north of Mount 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.
All that generation also, were gathered unto their fathers, —and there arose another generation, after them, who had not known Yahweh, nor even the work which he had wrought for Israel.
11 Izraelovi otroci so počeli zlo v Gospodovih očeh in služili Báalom.
So the sons of Israel did the thing that was wicked in the sight of Yahweh, —and served the Baals;
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 forsook Yahweh, the God of their fathers, who brought them up out of the land of Egypt, and went after other gods, from among the gods of the peoples who were round about them, and bowed themselves down unto them, —and angered Yahweh.
13 Zapustili so Gospoda in služili Báalu in Astarti.
Yea, they forsook Yahweh, —and did service unto the Baal and unto 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.
Then kindled the anger of Yahweh upon Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of spoilers, who plundered them, —and he sold them into the hand of their enemies round about, so that they could no 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.
Whithersoever they went out, the hand of Yahweh was found to be against them for misfortune, as spake Yahweh, and as sware Yahweh unto them, —and they were distressed exceedingly.
16 Kljub temu je Gospod dvignil sodnike, ki so jih osvobajali iz roke tistih, ki so jih plenili.
And, though Yahweh raised up judges, —who saved them out of the hand of them that plundered 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.
yet, even unto their judges, did thy not hearken, for they went unchastely astray after other gods, and bowed themselves down to them, —they turned aside speedily out of the way wherein their fathers who hearkened unto the commandments of Yahweh, walked, 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 Yahweh raised them up judges, then was Yahweh with the judges, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies, all the days of the judge, —for Yahweh was grieved at their outcry, because of them who oppressed them, and ill-treated 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.
But, when the judge was dead, they again broke faith more than their fathers, by going their way after other gods, by serving them, and bowing themselves down to them, —they ceased not from their 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,
So then the anger of Yahweh kindled upon Israel, and he said—Forasmuch as this nation have transgressed my covenant, which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto 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 no further dispossess a man from before them, —from among the nations which Joshua left remaining, 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 I may, by them, put Israel to the proof, —whether they are going to be observant of the way of Yahweh, to walk therein as their fathers observed it, or not.
23 Zato je Gospod pustil tiste narode, ne da bi jih naglo pognal ven niti jih ni izročil v Józuetovo roko.
Thus then Yahweh left these nations, not dispossessing them speedily, —neither had he delivered them into the hand of Joshua
