Sodniki 3
1 Torej to so narodi, ki jih je pustil Gospod, da z njimi preizkusi Izraela, torej tiste iz Izraela, ki niso poznali vseh kánaanskih vojn,
Now these are the nations which the LORD left, to prove Israel by them, even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan;
2 samo da bi rodovi Izraelovih otrok lahko vedeli, da jih naučijo vojne, vsaj tiste, ki prej niso ničesar vedeli o tem,
only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing of it:
3 namreč pet filistejskih knezov in vse Kánaance, Sidónce in Hivéjce, ki so prebivali na gori Libanon, od gore Báal Hermon, do vhoda v Hamát.
namely, the five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites who lived on Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal Hermon to Lebo Hamath.
4 Bili so, da z njimi preizkusi Izraela, da spozna, ali bodo prisluhnili Gospodovim zapovedim, ki jih je po Mojzesovi roki zapovedal njihovim očetom.
They were left, to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would listen to the commandments of the LORD, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
5 Izraelovi otroci so prebivali med Kánaanci, Hetejci, Amoréjci, Perizéjci, Hivéjci in Jebusejci
The children of Israel lived among the Canaanites, the Hethites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites:
6 in jemali so njihove hčere, da so postale njihove žene in svoje hčere so dajali njihovim sinovom in služili njihovim bogovom.
and they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their own daughters to their sons and served their gods.
7 Izraelovi otroci so počeli zlo v Gospodovih očeh in pozabili Gospoda, svojega Boga in služili Báalom in ašeram.
The children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgot the LORD their God, and served the Baals and the Asheroth.
8 Zato je bila Gospodova jeza vroča zoper Izrael in jih je prodal v roko Kušán Rišatájima, kralja Mezopotamije in Izraelovi otroci so osem let služili Kušán Rišatájimu.
Therefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Cushan Rishathaim king of Aram Naharaim; and the children of Israel served Cushan Rishathaim eight years.
9 Ko so Izraelovi otroci vpili h Gospodu, je Gospod Izraelovim otrokom dvignil osvoboditelja, ki jih je osvobodil, Kenázovega sina Otniéla, Kalébovega mlajšega brata.
When the children of Israel cried to the LORD, the LORD raised up a savior to the children of Israel, who saved them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother; and he obeyed him.
10 Gospodov Duh je prišel nadenj in sodil je Izraelu in odšel ven na vojsko in Gospod je izročil Kušán Rišatájima, kralja Mezopotamije, v njegovo roko in njegova roka je prevladala zoper Kušán Rišatájima.
The Spirit of the LORD came on him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war, and the LORD delivered Cushan Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand: and his hand prevailed against Cushan Rishathaim.
11 Dežela je imela štirideset let počitek in Kenázov sin Otniél je umrl.
The land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
12 Izraelovi otroci pa so ponovno počeli zlo v Gospodovih očeh in Gospod je zoper Izraela okrepil moábskega kralja Eglóna, ker so počeli zlo v Gospodovih očeh.
The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done that which was evil in the sight of the LORD.
13 K sebi je zbral otroke Amóna in Amáleka ter odšel in udaril Izrael in v last vzel mesto palmovih dreves.
He gathered to him the people of Ammon and Amalek; and he went and struck Israel, and they possessed the city of palm trees.
14 Tako so Izraelovi otroci osemnajst let služili moábskemu kralju Eglónu.
The children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
15 Toda ko so Izraelovi otroci klicali h Gospodu, jim je Gospod dvignil osvoboditelja, Gerájevega sina Ehúda, Benjaminovca, moža, ki je bil levičen in po njem so Izraelovi otroci poslali darilo moábskemu kralju Eglónu.
But when the children of Israel cried to the LORD, the LORD raised them up a savior, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a man left-handed. The children of Israel sent tribute by him to Eglon the king of Moab.
16 Toda Ehúd si je naredil bodalo, ki je imelo dve ostrini, komolec dolgo in opasal si ga je pod oblačilo, na svoje desno stegno.
Ehud made him a sword which had two edges, eighteen inches in length; and he girded it under his clothing on his right thigh.
17 In prinesel je darilo moábskemu kralju Eglónu. Eglón pa je bil zelo debel mož.
He offered the tribute to Eglon king of Moab: now Eglon was a very fat man.
18 Ko je končal s ponujanjem darila, je ljudstvo, ki je nosilo darilo, odposlal proč.
When he had made an end of offering the tribute, he sent away the people who bore the tribute.
19 Toda on sam se je ponovno obrnil od klesancev, ki so bili pri Gilgálu in rekel: »Zate imam skrivno naročilo, oh kralj.« Ta je rekel: »Molči.« In vsi, ki so stali pri njem, so odšli od njega.
But he himself turned back from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, "I have a secret message for you, O king." The king said, "Keep silence." All who stood by him went out from him.
20 Ehúd je prišel k njemu in ta je sedel v poletni dvorani, ki jo je imel samo zase. Ehúd je rekel: »Zate imam sporočilo od Boga.« In ta je vstal iz svojega sedeža.
Ehud came to him; and he was sitting by himself alone in the cool upper room. Ehud said, "I have a message from God to you, O king." He arose out of his seat.
21 Ehúd je svojo levo roko iztegnil naprej, vzel bodalo s svojega desnega stegna in ga zabodel v njegov trebuh.
And it happened as he rose up that Ehud put forth his left hand and took the sword from his right thigh and thrust it into his belly.
22 Tudi ročaj je šel noter za rezilom in maščoba se je zaprla na rezilu, tako da bodala ni mogel izvleči iz njegovega trebuha in ven je prišla umazanija.
And the handle also went in after the blade; and the fat closed on the blade, for he didn't draw the sword out of his belly; and it came out behind.
23 Potem je Ehúd šel naprej skozi preddverje ter za seboj zaprl vrata dvorane in jih zaklenil.
Then Ehud went forth into the porch, and shut the doors of the upper room on him, and locked them.
24 Ko je odšel ven, so prišli njegovi služabniki in glej, ko so videli, da so bila vrata dvorane zaklenjena, so rekli: »Zagotovo v svoji poletni sobi pokriva svoja stopala.«
Now when he was gone out, his servants came; and they saw, and look, the doors of the upper room were locked; and they said, "Surely he is covering his feet in the upper room."
25 Obotavljali so se, dokler jih ni postalo sram in glej, vrat dvorane ni odprl. Zato so vzeli ključ in jih odprli in glej, njihov gospod je mrtev ležal na zemlji.
They waited until they were ashamed; and look, he did not open the doors of the upper room: therefore they took the key, and opened them, and look, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth.
26 Ehúd pa je pobegnil, medtem ko so se zadrževali in šel onkraj klesancev in pobegnil v Seíro.
Ehud escaped while they waited, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped to Seirah.
27 Pripetilo se je, ko je prišel, da je na gori Efrájim zatrobil na šofar in Izraelovi otroci so se z njim spustili z gore in on [sam] je bil pred njimi.
It happened, when he had come, that he blew a trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim; and the children of Israel went down with him from the hill country, and he before them.
28 Rekel jim je: »Sledite za menoj, kajti Gospod je vaše sovražnike Moábce izročil v vašo roko.« Odšli so dol za njim in zavzeli jordanske prehode proti Moábu in nobenemu človeku niso pustili iti čez.
He said to them, "Follow after me; for the LORD has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand." They went down after him, and took the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites, and did not allow a man to pass over.
29 Ob tistem času so iz Moába usmrtili okoli deset tisoč mož, vse krepke in vse junaške može; in tam ni utekel niti [en] človek.
They struck of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, every lusty man, and every man of valor; and there escaped not a man.
30 Tako je bil tisti dan Moáb podjarmljen pod Izraelovo roko. In dežela je imela osemdeset let počitek.
So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. Then the land had rest eighty years. And Ehud judged them until he died.
31 Za njim je bil Anátov sin Šamgár, ki je z volovsko palico z bodico izmed Filistejcev usmrtil šeststo mož. Tudi on je osvobodil Izraela.
And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who alone struck down six hundred men of the Philistines with an oxgoad. And he also saved Israel.
