Sodniki 20
1 Potem so vsi Izraelovi otroci odšli ven in skupnost je bila zbrana skupaj kakor en mož, od Dana, celo do Beeršébe, z gileádsko deželo, h Gospodu v Micpi.
Then all the Israelites from Dan to Beersheba and from the land of Gilead came out, and the congregation assembled as one man before the LORD at Mizpah.
2 Vodje izmed vsega ljudstva, torej izmed vseh Izraelovih rodov, so se predstavili v zboru Božjega ljudstva, štiristo tisoč pešcev, ki so izdirali meč.
The leaders of all the people and all the tribes of Israel presented themselves in the assembly of God’s people: 400,000 men on foot, armed with swords.
3 (Torej Benjaminovi otroci so slišali, da so Izraelovi otroci odšli gor do Micpe.) Potem so Izraelovi otroci rekli: »Povej nam, kako je bila ta zlobnost?«
(Meanwhile the Benjamites heard that the Israelites had gone up to Mizpah.) And the Israelites asked, “Tell us, how did this wicked thing happen?”
4 Lévijevec, soprog ženske, ki je bila umorjena, je odgovoril in rekel: »Prišel sem v Gíbeo, ki pripada Benjaminu, jaz in moja priležnica, da prenočiva.
So the Levite, the husband of the murdered woman, answered: “I and my concubine came to Gibeah in Benjamin to spend the night.
5 Možje iz Gíbee pa so vstali zoper mene in ponoči obdali hišo naokoli mene in me mislili umoriti. Mojo priležnico pa so posilili, da je mrtva.
And during the night, the men of Gibeah rose up against me and surrounded the house. They intended to kill me, but they abused my concubine, and she died.
6 Vzel sem svojo priležnico, jo razsekal na kose in jo razposlal po vsej deželi Izraelove dediščine, kajti v Izraelu so zagrešili nespodobnost in neumnost.
Then I took my concubine, cut her into pieces, and sent her throughout the land of Israel’s inheritance, because they had committed a lewd and disgraceful act in Israel.
7 Glejte, vi vsi ste Izraelovi otroci, dajte tukaj svojo besedo in nasvet.«
Behold, all you Israelites, give your advice and verdict here and now.”
8 Vse ljudstvo je vstalo kakor en mož, rekoč: »Nobeden izmed nas ne bo šel k svojemu šotoru niti se nobeden izmed nas ne bo obrnil v svojo hišo.
Then all the people stood as one man and said, “Not one of us will return to his tent or to his house.
9 Toda sedaj bo to stvar, ki jo bomo storili Gíbei. Šli bomo gor po žrebu zoper njo
Now this is what we will do to Gibeah: We will go against it as the lot dictates.
10 in vzeli bomo po vseh Izraelovih rodovih deset mož izmed sto in sto izmed tisoč in tisoč izmed deset tisoč, da prinesejo živež za ljudstvo, da bodo lahko delali, ko pridejo v Benjaminovo Gíbeo, glede na vso neumnost, ki so jo oni storili v Izraelu.«
We will take ten men out of every hundred from all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred out of every thousand, and a thousand out of every ten thousand, to supply provisions for the army when they go to Gibeah in Benjamin to punish them for the atrocity they have committed in Israel.”
11 Tako so bili vsi Izraelovi možje, zbrani zoper mesto, povezani skupaj kakor en mož.
So all the men of Israel gathered as one man, united against the city.
12 Izraelovi rodovi so poslali može skozi ves Benjaminov rod, rekoč: »Kakšna zlobnost je ta, ki je bila storjena med vami?
And the tribes of Israel sent men throughout the tribe of Benjamin, saying, “What is this wickedness that has occurred among you?
13 Zdaj nam torej izročite može, Beliálove otroke, ki so v Gíbei, da jih lahko usmrtimo in iz Izraela odstranimo zlo.« Toda Benjaminovi otroci niso hoteli prisluhniti glasu njihovih bratov, Izraelovih otrok,
Hand over the wicked men of Gibeah so we can put them to death and purge Israel of this evil.” But the Benjamites refused to heed the voice of their fellow Israelites.
14 temveč so se Benjaminovi otroci zbrali skupaj iz vseh mest v Gíbeo, da gredo ven, da se bojujejo zoper Izraelove otroke.
And from their cities they came together at Gibeah to go out and fight against the Israelites.
15 Benjaminovi otroci so bili ob tistem času prešteti iz mest, šestindvajset tisoč mož, ki so izdirali meč, poleg prebivalcev Gíbee, katerih je bilo preštetih sedemsto izbranih mož.
On that day the Benjamites mobilized 26,000 swordsmen from their cities, in addition to the 700 select men of Gibeah.
16 Med vsem tem ljudstvom je bilo tam sedemsto izbranih mož, ki so bili levični. Vsak je lahko metal kamne za las natančno in ni zgrešil.
Among all these soldiers there were 700 select left-handers, each of whom could sling a stone at a hair without missing.
17 Mož iz Izraela, poleg Benjamina, je bilo preštetih štiristo tisoč mož, ki so izdirali meč. Vsi ti so bili bojevniki.
The Israelites, apart from Benjamin, mobilized 400,000 swordsmen, each one an experienced warrior.
18 Izraelovi otroci so vstali in odšli gor h Gospodovi hiši in vprašali za nasvet od Boga ter rekli: »Kdo izmed nas bo prvi šel gor v bitko zoper Benjaminove otroke?« Gospod je rekel: »Juda bo prvi šel gor.«
The Israelites set out, went up to Bethel, and inquired of God, “Who of us shall go up first to fight against the Benjamites?” “Judah will be first,” the LORD replied.
19 Izraelovi otroci so zjutraj vstali in se utaborili zoper Gíbeo.
The next morning the Israelites set out and camped near Gibeah.
20 Izraelovi možje so odšli ven, da se bojujejo zoper Benjamina. Izraelovi možje so se razvrstili, da se bojujejo zoper te v Gíbei.
And the men of Israel went out to fight against Benjamin and took up their battle positions at Gibeah.
21 Benjaminovi otroci so prišli ven iz Gíbee in izmed Izraelcev ta dan do tal uničili dvaindvajset tisoč mož.
And the Benjamites came out of Gibeah and cut down 22,000 Israelites on the battlefield that day.
22 Ljudstvo Izraelovih mož se je ohrabrilo in svojo bitko ponovno razvrstilo na kraju, kjer so se razvrstili prvi dan.
But the Israelite army took courage and again took their battle positions in the same place where they had arrayed themselves on the first day.
23 (Izraelovi otroci so odšli gor in do večera jokali pred Gospodom in prosili Gospoda za nasvet, rekoč: »Ali naj grem ponovno gor v bitko zoper otroke Benjamina, svojega brata?« Gospod je rekel: »Pojdite gor zoper njih.«)
They went up and wept before the LORD until evening, inquiring of Him, “Should we again draw near for battle against our brothers the Benjamites?” And the LORD answered, “Go up against them.”
24 Izraelovi otroci so se drugi dan približali zoper Benjaminove otroke.
On the second day the Israelites advanced against the Benjamites.
25 Benjamin je drugi dan odšel naprej, ven iz Gíbee, zoper njih in izmed Izraelovih otrok do tal ponovno uničil osemnajst tisoč mož. Vsi ti so izdirali meč.
That same day the Benjamites came out against them from Gibeah and cut down another 18,000 Israelites, all of them armed with swords.
26 Potem so vsi Izraelovi otroci in vse ljudstvo odšli gor in prišli k Božji hiši, jokali in tam sedeli pred Gospodom in se ta dan postili do večera in pred Gospodom darovali žgalne daritve in mirovne daritve.
Then the Israelites, all the people, went up to Bethel, where they sat weeping before the LORD. That day they fasted until evening and presented burnt offerings and peace offerings to the LORD.
27 Izraelovi otroci so poizvedeli od Gospoda (kajti skrinja Božje zaveze je bila v tistih dneh tam
And the Israelites inquired of the LORD. (In those days the ark of the covenant of God was there,
28 in Pinhás, sin Eleazarja, sinú Arona, je v tistih dneh stal pred njo), rekoč: »Ali naj grem ponovno ven v bitko zoper otroke Benjamina, svojega brata ali naj odneham?« Gospod je rekel: »Pojdi gor, kajti jutri ti jih bom izročil v roko.«
and Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, served before it.) The Israelites asked, “Should we again go out to battle against our brothers the Benjamites, or should we stop?” The LORD answered, “Fight, for tomorrow I will deliver them into your hand.”
29 Izrael je okoli Gíbee postavil prežavce v zasedi.
So Israel set up an ambush around Gibeah.
30 Izraelovi otroci so na tretji dan odšli gor zoper Benjaminove otroke in se kakor poprej razvrstili zoper Gíbeo.
On the third day the Israelites went up against the Benjamites and arrayed themselves against Gibeah as they had done before.
31 Benjaminovi otroci so odšli ven zoper ljudstvo in bili so odvlečeni od mesta in začeli udarjati izmed ljudstva in ubili trideset mož iz Izraela, kakor poprej na glavnih cestah, od katerih gre ena gor k Božji hiši, druga pa h Gíbei na polje.
The Benjamites came out against them and were drawn away from the city. They began to attack the people as before, killing about thirty men of Israel in the fields and on the roads, one of which led up to Bethel and the other to Gibeah.
32 Benjaminovi otroci so rekli: »Udarjeni so pred nami kakor poprej.« Toda Izraelovi otroci so rekli: »Bežimo in jih od mesta potegnimo h glavnim cestam.«
“We are defeating them as before,” said the Benjamites. But the Israelites said, “Let us retreat and draw them away from the city onto the roads.”
33 Vsi Izraelovi možje so se dvignili iz svojega kraja in se razvrstili pri Báal Tamari. Izraelovi prežavci v zasedi pa so prišli naprej iz svojih krajev, torej iz travnikov Gíbee.
So all the men of Israel got up from their places and arrayed themselves at Baal-tamar, and the Israelites in ambush charged from their positions west of Gibeah.
34 Tam je prišlo zoper Gíbeo deset tisoč izbranih mož iz vsega Izraela in bitka je bila huda. Toda niso vedeli, da je bilo zlo blizu njih.
Then 10,000 select men from all Israel made a frontal assault against Gibeah, and the battle was fierce. But the Benjamites did not realize that disaster was upon them.
35 Gospod je udaril Benjamina pred Izraelom in Izraelovi otroci so izmed Benjaminovcev ta dan uničili petindvajset tisoč in sto mož. Vsi ti so izdirali meč.
The LORD defeated Benjamin in the presence of Israel, and on that day the Israelites slaughtered 25,100 Benjamites, all armed with swords.
36 Tako so Benjaminovi otroci videli, da so bili udarjeni, kajti možje iz Izraela so dali prostor Benjaminovcem, ker so zaupali v prežavce v zasedi, ki so jih postavili poleg Gíbee.
Then the Benjamites realized they had been defeated. Now the men of Israel had retreated before Benjamin because they were relying on the ambush they had set against Gibeah.
37 Prežalci v zasedi so pohiteli in navalili na Gíbeo in prežavci v zasedi so šli vzdolž in vse mesto udarili z ostrino meča.
The men in ambush rushed suddenly against Gibeah; they advanced and put the whole city to the sword.
38 Torej tam je bilo določeno znamenje med Izraelovimi možmi in prežavci v zasedi, da naj bi naredili velik plamen z dimom, ki se vzdiguje iz mesta.
The men of Israel had arranged a signal with the men in ambush: When they sent up a great cloud of smoke from the city,
39 Ko so se Izraelovi možje obrnili v bitko, je Benjamin začel udarjati in izmed Izraelovih mož ubil okoli trideset oseb, kajti rekli so: »Zagotovo so udarjeni pred nami kakor v prvi bitki.«
the men of Israel would turn in the battle. When the Benjamites had begun to strike them down, killing about thirty men of Israel, they said, “They are defeated before us as in the first battle.”
40 Toda ko se je plamen s stebrom dima začel dvigovati iz mesta, so Benjaminovci pogledali za seboj in glej, plamen mesta se je vzdigoval k nebu.
But when the column of smoke began to go up from the city, the Benjamites looked behind them and saw the whole city going up in smoke.
41 Ko so se Izraelovi možje ponovno obrnili, so bili možje Benjamina osupli, kajti videli so, da je nadnje prišlo zlo.
Then the men of Israel turned back on them, and the men of Benjamin were terrified when they realized that disaster had come upon them.
42 Zato so svoje hrbte obrnili pred Izraelovimi možmi na pot divjine, toda bitka jih je dohitela in tiste, ki so prišli iz mest, so uničili v njihovi sredi.
So they fled before the men of Israel toward the wilderness, but the battle overtook them, and the men coming out of the cities struck them down there.
43 Tako so naokoli obkolili Benjaminovce in jih preganjali in jih z lahkoto pomendrali nasproti Gíbei, proti sončnemu vzhodu.
They surrounded the Benjamites, pursued them, and easily overtook them in the vicinity of Gibeah on the east.
44 Tam je iz Benjamina padlo osemnajst tisoč mož. Vsi ti so bili junaški možje.
And 18,000 Benjamites fell, all men of valor.
45 In obrnili so se in pobegnili proti divjini, k Rimónovi skali. In od njih so zbrali po glavnih cestah pet tisoč mož in trdo so jih zasledovati do Gidóma in jih izmed njih usmrtili dva tisoč.
Then the Benjamites turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, and Israel cut down 5,000 men on the roads. And they overtook them at Gidom and struck down 2,000 more.
46 Tako, da je bilo vseh, ki so ta dan padli iz Benjamina, petindvajset tisoč mož, ki so izdirali meč. Vsi ti so bili junaški možje.
That day 25,000 Benjamite swordsmen fell, all men of valor.
47 Toda šeststo mož se je obrnilo in pobegnilo v divjino, k Rimónovi skali in v Rimónovi skali so ostali štiri mesece.
But 600 men turned and fled into the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, where they stayed four months.
48 Izraelovi možje so se ponovno obrnili nad Benjaminove otroke in jih udarili z ostrino meča, kakor tudi može iz vsakega mesta, tako žival in vse, kar je prišlo k roki. Prav tako so požgali vsa mesta, h katerim so prišli.
And the men of Israel turned back against the other Benjamites and put to the sword all the cities, including the animals and everything else they found. And they burned down all the cities in their path.
