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.
Yahweh’s angel came up from Gilgal to Bochim. He said, “I brought you out of Egypt, and have brought you to the land which I swore to give your fathers. 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?‹
You shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land. You shall break down their altars.’ But you have not listened to 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.‹«
Therefore I also said, ‘I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be in your sides, and their gods will 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.
When Yahweh’s angel spoke these words to all the children of Israel, the people lifted up their voice and wept.
5 Ime tega kraja so imenovali Bohím in tam so darovali Gospodu.
They called the name of that place Bochim, and they sacrificed there to 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 sent the people away, the children of Israel each went 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.
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 that he had worked for Israel.
8 Nunov sin Józue, Gospodov služabnik, je umrl, star sto deset let.
Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Yahweh, died, being one hundred ten years old.
9 Pokopali so ga na meji njegove dediščine, v Timnát Heresu, na gori Efrájim, na severni strani Gáaševega hriba.
They buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath Heres, in the hill country of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of 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.
After all that generation were gathered to their fathers, another generation arose after them who didn’t know Yahweh, nor the work which he had done for Israel.
11 Izraelovi otroci so počeli zlo v Gospodovih očeh in služili Báalom.
The children of Israel did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, 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.
They abandoned Yahweh, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the peoples who were around them, and bowed themselves down to them; and they provoked Yahweh to anger.
13 Zapustili so Gospoda in služili Báalu in Astarti.
They abandoned Yahweh, and served Baal and the 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.
Yahweh’s anger burned against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of raiders who plundered them. He sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, 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.
Wherever they went out, Yahweh’s hand was against them for evil, as Yahweh had spoken, and as Yahweh had sworn to them; and they were very distressed.
16 Kljub temu je Gospod dvignil sodnike, ki so jih osvobajali iz roke tistih, ki so jih plenili.
Yahweh raised up judges, who saved them out of the hand of those who 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 they didn’t listen to their judges; for they prostituted themselves to other gods, and bowed themselves down to them. They quickly turned away from the way in which their fathers walked, obeying Yahweh’s commandments. They didn’t do 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.
When Yahweh raised up judges for them, then Yahweh was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for it grieved Yahweh because of their groaning by reason of those who oppressed them and troubled 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 turned back, and dealt more corruptly than their fathers in following other gods to serve them and to bow down to them. They didn’t cease what they were doing, or give up their stubborn ways.
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,
Yahweh’s anger burned against Israel; and he said, “Because this nation transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and has 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 no longer drive out any of the nations that Joshua left when he died from before them;
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 by them I may test Israel, to see if they will keep Yahweh’s way to walk therein, as their fathers kept it, or not.”
23 Zato je Gospod pustil tiste narode, ne da bi jih naglo pognal ven niti jih ni izročil v Józuetovo roko.
So Yahweh left those nations, without driving them out hastily. He didn’t deliver them into Joshua’s hand.
