Sodniki 6

1 Izraelovi otroci so v Gospodovih očeh počeli zlo in Gospod jih je [za] sedem let izročil v roko Midjáncev.

And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years.

2 Roka Midjáncev je prevladala zoper Izraela in zaradi Midjáncev so si Izraelovi otroci naredili jame, ki so v gorah, votline in oporišča.

And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel: and because of the Midianites the children of Israel made them the dens which are in the mountains, and caves, and strong holds.

3 Bilo je tako, ko je Izrael sejal, da so prišli gor Midjánci, Amalečani in otroci vzhoda, celó ti so prišli gor zoper njih

And so it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east, even they came up against them;

4 in se utaborili zoper njih in uničili donos zemlje, dokler ne prideš do Gaze in za Izrael niso pustili nobene oskrbe, niti ovce, niti vola, niti osla.

And they encamped against them, and destroyed the increase of the earth, till you come unto Gaza, and left no sustenance for Israel, neither sheep, nor ox, nor ass.

5 Kajti gor so prišli s svojo živino in svojimi šotori in prišli so kakor kobilice zaradi množice, kajti tako njih kakor njihovih kamel je bilo brez števila in vstopili so v deželo, da jo uničijo.

For they came up with their cattle and their tents, and they came as grasshoppers for multitude; for both they and their camels were without number: and they entered into the land to destroy it.

6 Zaradi Midjáncev je bil Izrael silno obubožan in Izraelovi otroci so klicali h Gospodu.

And Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites; and the children of Israel cried unto the LORD.

7 Pripetilo se je, ko so zaradi Midjáncev Izraelovi otroci klicali h Gospodu,

And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD because of the Midianites,

8 da je Gospod k Izraelovim otrokom poslal preroka, ki jim je rekel: »Tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog: ›Privedel sem vas gor iz Egipta, vas izpeljal iz hiše sužnosti,

That the LORD sent a prophet unto the children of Israel, which said unto them, Thus says the LORD God of Israel, I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you forth out of the house of bondage;

9 vas osvobodil iz roke Egipčanov in iz roke vseh, ki so vas zatirali in jih pregnal izpred vas in vam dal njihovo deželo

And I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all that oppressed you, and drove them out from before you, and gave you their land;

10 ter vam rekel: ›Jaz sem Gospod, vaš Bog. Ne bojte se bogov Amoréjcev, v katerih deželi prebivate.‹ Toda niste ubogali mojega glasu.‹«

And I said unto you, I am the LORD your God; fear not the gods of the Amorites, in whose land all of you dwell: but all of you have not obeyed my voice.

11 Prišel je Gospodov angel in sedel pod hrast, ki je bil v Ofri, ki je pripadal Abiézerjevcu Joášu. Njegov sin Gideón je pri vinski stiskalnici mlatil pšenico, da jo skrije pred Midjánci.

And there came an angel of the LORD, and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites.

12 Prikazal se mu je Gospodov angel ter mu rekel: » Gospod je s teboj, mogočen, hraber mož.«

And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto him, The LORD is with you, you mighty man of valour.

13 Gideón mu je rekel: »Oh moj Gospod, če je z nami Gospod, zakaj nas je potem vse to doletelo? In kje so vsi njegovi čudeži, o katerih so nam povedali naši očetje, rekoč. ›Ali nas ni Gospod privedel gor iz Egipta? Toda sedaj nas je Gospod zapustil in nas izročil v roke Midjáncev.‹«

And Gideon said unto him, Oh my Lord, if the LORD be with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt? but now the LORD has forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.

14 Gospod je pogledal nanj in rekel: »Pojdi v tej svoji moči in ti boš Izraela rešil iz roke Midjáncev. Ali te nisem jaz poslal?«

And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this your might, and you shall save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent you?

15 Rekel mu je: »Oh moj Gospod, s čim bom rešil Izraela? Glej, moja družina je revna v Manáseju in jaz sem najmanjši v očetovi hiši.«

And he said unto him, Oh my Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house.

16 Gospod mu je rekel: »Zagotovo bom jaz s teboj in Midjánce boš udaril kakor en mož.«

And the LORD said unto him, Surely I will be with you, and you shall strike the Midianites as one man.

17 Ta mu je rekel: »Če sem torej našel milost v tvojem pogledu, potem mi pokaži znamenje, da ti govoriš z menoj.

And he said unto him, If now I have found grace in your sight, then show me a sign that you talk with me.

18 Ne odidi od tod, prosim te, dokler ne pridem k tebi in prinesem svoje darilo in ga postavim predte.« Rekel je: »Ostal bom, dokler ponovno ne prideš.«

Depart not behind, I pray you, until I come unto you, and bring forth my present, and set it before you. And he said, I will tarry until you come again.

19 Gideón je vstopil in pripravil kozlička in nekvašene kolače iz škafa moke. Meso je položil v košaro, juho v lonec in to prinesel ven k njemu pod hrast in to ponudil.

And Gideon went in, and made ready a kid, and unleavened cakes of an ephah of flour: the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought it out unto him under the oak, and presented it.

20 Angel od Boga mu je rekel: »Vzemi meso in nekvašene kolače ter jih položi na to skalo in izlij juho.« In tako je storil.

And the angel of God said unto him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them upon this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so.

21 Potem je Gospodov angel iztegnil konec palice, ki je bila v njegovi roki in se dotaknil mesa in nekvašenih kolačev. In iz skale se je dvignil ogenj in použil meso ter nekvašene kolače. Potem je Gospodov angel odšel iz njegovega pogleda.

Then the angel of the LORD put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and there rose up fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes. Then the angel of the LORD departed out of his sight.

22 Ko je Gideón zaznal, da je bil to Gospodov angel, je Gideón rekel: »Ojoj, oh Gospod Bog! Ker sem videl Gospodovega angela iz obličja v obličje.«

And when Gideon perceived that he was an angel of the LORD, Gideon said, Alas, O LORD God! for because I have seen an angel of the LORD face to face.

23 Gospod mu je rekel: »Mir ti bodi, ne boj se. Ne boš umrl.«

And the LORD said unto him, Peace be unto you; fear not: you shall not die.

24 Potem je Gideón tam zgradil oltar Gospodu in ga imenoval Jahve–šalom. Do današnjega dne je ta še vedno v Ofri Abiézerjevcev.

Then Gideon built an altar there unto the LORD, and called it Jehovahshalom: unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.

25 Pripetilo se je isto noč, da mu je Gospod rekel: »Vzemi mladega bikca od svojega očeta, celo drugega bikca starosti sedmih let in zruši Báalov oltar, ki ga ima tvoj oče in posekaj ašero, ki je poleg njega

And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto him, Take your father's young bullock, even the second bullock of seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that your father has, and cut down the grove that is by it:

26 in zgradi oltar Gospodu, svojemu Bogu, na vrhu te skale, na določenem kraju in vzemi drugega bikca in daruj žgalno daritev z lesom ašere, ki jo boš posekal.«

And build an altar unto the LORD your God upon the top of this rock, in the ordered place, and take the second bullock, and offer a burnt sacrifice with the wood of the grove which you shall cut down.

27 Potem je Gideón vzel deset mož izmed svojih služabnikov in storil, kakor mu je Gospod rekel. Bilo je tako, ker se je bal očetove družine in mož mesta, da tega ni mogel storiti podnevi, da je to storil ponoči.

Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as the LORD had said unto him: and so it was, because he feared his father's household, and the men of the city, that he could not do it by day, that he did it by night.

28 Ko so možje mesta zgodaj zjutraj vstali, glej, Báalov oltar je bil podrt in ašera, ki je bila poleg njega, je bila posekana in drugi bikec je bil darovan na oltarju, ki je bil zgrajen.

And when the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was cast down, and the grove was cut down that was by it, and the second bullock was offered upon the altar that was built.

29 Drug drugemu so rekli: »Kdo je storil to stvar?« Ko so poizvedovali in spraševali, so rekli: »To stvar je storil Joášev sin Gideón.«

And they said one to another, Who has done this thing? And when they enquired and asked, they said, Gideon the son of Joash has done this thing.

30 Potem so možje iz mesta Joášu rekli: »Privedi svojega sina ven, da bo lahko umrl, ker je podrl Báalov oltar in ker je posekal ašero, ki je bila poleg njega.«

Then the men of the city said unto Joash, Bring out your son, that he may die: because he has cast down the altar of Baal, and because he has cut down the grove that was by it.

31 Joáš je rekel vsem, ki so stali zoper njega: »Mar se boste potegovali za Báala? Ali ga boste vi rešili? Kdor se bo potegoval zanj, naj bo usmrčen, medtem ko je še jutro. Če je on bog, naj se poteguje sam zase, ker je nekdo podrl njegov oltar.«

And Joash said unto all that stood against him, Will all of you plead for Baal? will all of you save him? he that will plead for him, let him be put to death whilst it is yet morning: if he be a god, let him plead for himself, because one has cast down his altar.

32 Zato ga je na ta dan imenoval Jerubáal, rekoč: »Naj Báal navaja dokaze zoper njega, ker je zrušil njegov oltar.«

Therefore on that day he called him Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal plead against him, because he has thrown down his altar.

33 Potem so se skupaj zbrali vsi Midjánci, Amálečani in otroci vzhoda, odšli preko in se utaborili v dolini Jezreél.

Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the children of the east were gathered together, and went over, and pitched in the valley of Jezreel.

34 Toda Gospodov Duh je prišel nad Gideóna in ta je zatrobil na šofar in Abiézer je bil zbran za njim.

But the Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet; and Abiezer was gathered after him.

35 Poslal je poslance po vsem Manáseju, ki je bil tudi zbran za njim. Poslal je poslance k Aserju, k Zábulonu in k Neftáliju in prišli so gor, da jih srečajo.

And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh; who also was gathered after him: and he sent messengers unto Asher, and unto Zebulun, and unto Naphtali; and they came up to meet them.

36 Gideón je rekel Bogu: »Če hočeš po moji roki rešiti Izraela, kakor si rekel,

And Gideon said unto God, If you will save Israel by mine hand, as you have said,

37 glej, bom na tla položil ovčje runo in če bo rosa samo na runu in bo vsa zemlja poleg suha, potem bom vedel, da hočeš po moji roki rešiti Izraela, kakor si rekel.«

Behold, I will put a fleece of wool in the floor; and if the dew be on the fleece only, and it be dry upon all the earth beside, then shall I know that you will save Israel by mine hand, as you have said.

38 In bilo je tako, kajti naslednji dan je zgodaj vstal in iz runa iztisnil roso, polno skledico vode.

And it was so: for he rose up early on the next day, and thrust the fleece together, and wrung the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water.

39 Gideón je rekel Bogu: »Tvoja jeza naj se ne vname zoper mene in govoril bom samo še tokrat. Naj dokažem, prosim te, samo še tokrat z runom. Naj bo sedaj suho samo na runu, po vsej zemlji pa naj bo rosa.«

And Gideon said unto God, Let not your anger be hot against me, and I will speak but this once: let me prove, I pray you, but this once with the fleece; let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all the ground let there be dew.

40 Bog je to noč storil tako, kajti bilo je suho samo na runu, rosa pa je bila po vsej zemlji.

And God did so that night: for it was dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.
