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 children of Israel went out, and the congregation was assembled as one man, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, with the land of Gilead, unto 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.

And the chiefs of all the people, even of all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen that drew sword.

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?«

(Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel were gone up to Mizpah.) And the children of Israel said, Tell us, how was this wickedness brought to pass?

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.

And the Levite, the husband of the woman that was murdered, answered and said, I came into Gibeah that belongeth to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge.

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 the men of Gibeah rose against me, and beset the house round about upon me by night; me they thought to have slain, and my concubine they forced, and she is dead.

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.

And I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel: for they have committed lewdness and folly in Israel.

7 Glejte, vi vsi ste Izraelovi otroci, dajte tukaj svojo besedo in nasvet.«

Behold, ye children of Israel, all of you, give here your advice and counsel.

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.

And all the people arose as one man, saying, We will not any of us go to his tent, neither will we any of us turn unto his house.

9 Toda sedaj bo to stvar, ki jo bomo storili Gíbei. Šli bomo gor po žrebu zoper njo

But now this is the thing which we will do to Gibeah; [we will go up] against it by lot;

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.«

and we will take ten men of an hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and an hundred of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to fetch victual for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly that they have wrought in Israel.

11 Tako so bili vsi Izraelovi možje, zbrani zoper mesto, povezani skupaj kakor en mož.

So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, knit together as one man.

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 through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, What wickedness is this that is come to pass 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,

Now therefore deliver up the men, the sons of Belial, which are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel. But Benjamin would not hearken to the voice of their brethren the children of Israel.

14 temveč so se Benjaminovi otroci zbrali skupaj iz vseh mest v Gíbeo, da gredo ven, da se bojujejo zoper Izraelove otroke.

And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities unto Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel.

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.

And the children of Benjamin were numbered on that day out of the cities twenty and six thousand men that drew sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah, which were numbered seven hundred chosen men.

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 this people there were seven hundred chosen men lefthanded; every one could sling stones at an hair-breadth, and not miss.

17 Mož iz Izraela, poleg Benjamina, je bilo preštetih štiristo tisoč mož, ki so izdirali meč. Vsi ti so bili bojevniki.

And the men of Israel, beside Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men that drew sword: all these were men of war.

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.«

And the children of Israel arose, and went up to Beth-el, and asked counsel of God; and they said, Who shall go up for us first to battle against the children of Benjamin? And the LORD said, Judah [shall go up] first.

19 Izraelovi otroci so zjutraj vstali in se utaborili zoper Gíbeo.

And the children of Israel rose up in the morning, and encamped against 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 battle against Benjamin; and the men of Israel set the battle in array against them at Gibeah.

21 Benjaminovi otroci so prišli ven iz Gíbee in izmed Izraelcev ta dan do tal uničili dvaindvajset tisoč mož.

And the children of Benjamin came forth out of Gibeah, and destroyed down to the ground of the Israelites on that day twenty and two thousand men.

22 Ljudstvo Izraelovih mož se je ohrabrilo in svojo bitko ponovno razvrstilo na kraju, kjer so se razvrstili prvi dan.

And the people, the men of Israel, encouraged themselves, and set the battle again in array in the place where they set themselves in array 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.«)

(And the children of Israel went up and wept before the LORD until even; and they asked of the LORD, saying, Shall I again draw nigh to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother? And the LORD said, Go up against him.)

24 Izraelovi otroci so se drugi dan približali zoper Benjaminove otroke.

And the children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin the second day.

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.

And Benjamin went forth against them out of Gibeah the second day, and destroyed down to the ground of the children of Israel again eighteen thousand men; all these drew the sword.

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 all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came unto Beth-el, and wept, and sat there before the LORD, and fasted that day until even; and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.

27 Izraelovi otroci so poizvedeli od Gospoda (kajti skrinja Božje zaveze je bila v tistih dneh tam

And the children of Israel asked of the LORD, (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,

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, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days, ) saying, Shall I yet again go out to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease? And the LORD said, Go up; for tomorrow I will deliver him into thine hand.

29 Izrael je okoli Gíbee postavil prežavce v zasedi.

And Israel set liers in wait against Gibeah round about.

30 Izraelovi otroci so na tretji dan odšli gor zoper Benjaminove otroke in se kakor poprej razvrstili zoper Gíbeo.

And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and set themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times.

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.

And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to smite and kill of the people, as at other times, in the highways, of which one goeth up to Beth-el, and the other to Gibeah, in the field, about thirty men of Israel.

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.«

And the children of Benjamin said, They are smitten down before us, as at the first. But the children of Israel said, Let us rise, and draw them away from the city unto the highways.

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.

And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and set themselves in array at Baal-tamar: and the liers in wait of Israel brake forth out of their place, even out of Maareh-geba.

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.

And there came over against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was sore: but they knew not that evil was close 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.

And the LORD smote Benjamin before Israel: and the children of Israel destroyed of Benjamin that day twenty and five thousand and an hundred men: all these drew the sword.

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.

So the children of Benjamin saw that they were smitten: for the men of Israel gave place to Benjamin, because they trusted unto the liers in wait which 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.

And the liers in wait hasted, and rushed upon Gibeah; and the liers in wait drew themselves along, and smote all the city with the edge of 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.

Now the appointed sign between the men of Israel and the liers in wait was, that they should make a great cloud of smoke rise up out of 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.«

And the men of Israel turned in the battle, and Benjamin began to smite and kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons: for they said, Surely they are smitten down 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 cloud began to arise up out of the city in a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them, and, behold, the whole of the city went up [in smoke] to heaven.

41 Ko so se Izraelovi možje ponovno obrnili, so bili možje Benjamina osupli, kajti videli so, da je nadnje prišlo zlo.

And the men of Israel turned, and the men of Benjamin were amazed: for they saw that evil was 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.

Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel unto the way of the wilderness; but the battle followed hard after them; and they which came out of the cities destroyed them in the midst thereof.

43 Tako so naokoli obkolili Benjaminovce in jih preganjali in jih z lahkoto pomendrali nasproti Gíbei, proti sončnemu vzhodu.

They enclosed the Benjamites round about, [and] chased them, [and] trode them down at [their] resting place, as far as over against Gibeah toward the sunrising.

44 Tam je iz Benjamina padlo osemnajst tisoč mož. Vsi ti so bili junaški možje.

And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men; all these [were] men of valour.

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.

And they turned and fled toward the wilderness unto the rock of Rimmon: and they gleaned of them in the highways five thousand men; and followed hard after them unto Gidom, and smote of them two thousand men.

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.

So that all which fell that day of Benjamin were twenty and five thousand men that drew the sword; all these were men of valour.

47 Toda šeststo mož se je obrnilo in pobegnilo v divjino, k Rimónovi skali in v Rimónovi skali so ostali štiri mesece.

But six hundred men turned and fled toward the wilderness unto the rock of Rimmon, and abode in the rock of Rimmon 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 again upon the children of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, both the entire city, and the cattle and all that they found: moreover all the cities which they found they set on fire.
