Judges 11
1 And Jephthae the Galaadite [was] a mighty man; and he [was] the son of a harlot, who bore Jephthae to Galaad.
Torej Gileádec Jefte je bil mogočen hraber človek in bil je sin pocestnice; in Gileád je zaplodil Jefteja.
2 And the wife of Galaad bore him sons; and the sons of his wife grew up, and they cast out Jephthae, and said to him, You shall not inherit in the house of our father, for you are the son of a concubine.
Gileádova žena mu je rodila sinove in sinovi njegove žene so zrasli in pregnali Jefteja ter mu rekli: »Ne boš dedoval v hiši našega očeta, kajti ti si sin tuje ženske.«
3 And Jephthae fled from the face of his brethren, and lived in the land of Tob; and vain men gathered to Jephthae, and went out with him.
Potem je Jefte pobegnil pred svojimi brati in prebival v deželi Tob. Tam pa so bili k Jefteju zbrani praznoglavi možje in z njim odšli ven.
4 And it came to pass when the children of Ammon prepared to fight with Israel,
In pripetilo se je tekom časa, da so Amónovi otroci začeli vojno zoper Izrael.
5 that the elders of Galaad went to fetch Jephthae from the land of Tob.
Bilo je tako, da ko so Amónovi otroci začeli vojno zoper Izrael, so starešine iz Gileáda odšli, da Jefteja pripeljejo iz dežele Tob.
6 And they said to Jephthae, Come, and be our head, and we will fight with the sons of Ammon.
Jefteju so rekli: »Pridi in bodi naš poveljnik, da se bomo lahko borili z Amónovimi otroki.«
7 And Jephthae said to the elders of Galaad, Did you not hate me, and cast me out of my father's house, and banish me from you? and therefore are you come to me now when you lack me?
Jefte je rekel starešinam iz Gileáda: »Ali me niste sovražili in pregnali iz hiše mojega očeta? Zakaj ste prišli k meni sedaj, ko ste v stiski?«
8 And the elders of Galaad said to Jephthae, Therefore have we now turned to you, that you should go with us, and fight against the sons of Ammon, and be our head over all the inhabitants of Galaad.
Starešine iz Gileáda so Jefteju rekli: »Zato se sedaj ponovno obračamo k tebi, da boš lahko šel z nami in se boril zoper Amónove otroke in boš naš poglavar nad vsemi prebivalci Gileáda.«
9 And Jephthae said to the elders of Galaad, If you turn me back to fight with the children of Ammon, and the Lord should deliver them before me, then will I be your head.
Jefte je rekel starešinam iz Gileáda: »Če me ponovno privedete domov, da se borim zoper Amónove otroke in jih Gospod izroči pred menoj, ali bom vaš poglavar?«
10 And the elders of Galaad said to Jephthae, The Lord be witness between us, if we shall not do according to your word.
Starešine iz Gileáda so rekli Jefteju: » Gospod bodi priča med nami, če ne storimo tako glede na tvoje besede.«
11 And Jephthae went with the elders of Galaad, and the people made him head and ruler over them: and Jephthae spoke all his words before the Lord in Massepha.
Potem je Jefte odšel s starešinami iz Gileáda in ljudstvo ga je postavilo za poglavarja in poveljnika nad njimi in Jefte je vse svoje besede izrekel pred Gospodom v Micpi.
12 And Jephthae sent messengers to the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What have I to do with you, that you have come against me to fight in my land?
Jefte je poslal poslance h kralju Amónovih otrok, rekoč: »Kaj imaš z menoj, da si prišel zoper mene, da se boriš v moji deželi?«
13 And the king of the children of Ammon said to the messengers of Jephthae, Because Israel took my land when he went up out of Egypt, from Arnon to Jaboc, and to Jordan: now then return them peaceably and I will depart.
Kralj Amónovih otrok je Jeftejevim poslancem odgovoril: »Ker je Izrael odvzel mojo deželo, ko so prišli gor iz Egipta, od Arnóna, celo do Jabóka in do Jordana. Sedaj torej ponovno miroljubno povrni te dežele.«
14 And Jephthae again sent messengers to the king of the children of Ammon,
Jefte je ponovno poslal poslance h kralju Amónovih otrok
15 and said to him, Thus says Jephthae, Israel took not the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon;
in mu rekel: »Tako govori Jefte: ›Izrael ni odvzel moábske dežele niti dežele Amónovih otrok,
16 for in their going up out of Egypt Israel went in the wilderness as far as the sea of Siph, and came to Cades.
temveč ko je Izrael prišel gor iz Egipta in skozi divjino hodil do Rdečega morja in prišel do Kadeša,
17 And Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, I will pass, if it please you, by your land: and the king of Edom complied not: and [Israel] also sent to the king of Moab, and he did not consent; and Israel sojourned in Cades.
potem je Izrael poslal poslance k edómskemu kralju, rekoč: ›Pusti mi, prosim te, iti skozi tvojo deželo.‹ Toda edómski kralj temu ni hotel prisluhniti. In na podoben način so poslali k moábskemu kralju. Toda ta ni hotel privoliti in Izrael je ostal v Kadešu.
18 And [they] journeyed in the wilderness, and compassed the land of Edom and the land of Moab: and they came by the east of the land of Moab, an encamped in the country beyond Arnon, and came not within the borders of Moab, for Arnon [is] the border of Moab.
Potem so šli vzdolž skozi divjino in obkrožili edómsko deželo in moábsko deželo in prišli pri vzhodni strani moábske dežele in se utaborili na drugi strani Arnóna, toda niso prišli znotraj moábske meje, kajti Arnón je bil moábska meja.
19 And Israel sent messengers to Seon king of the Amorite, king of Esbon, and Israel said to him, Let us pass, we pray you, by your land to our place.
Izrael je poslal poslance k Sihónu, kralju Amoréjcev, hešbónskemu kralju. Izrael mu je rekel: ›Naj gremo, prosim te, skozi tvojo deželo na svoj kraj.‹
20 And Seon did not trust Israel to pass by his coast; and Seon gathered all his people, and they encamped at Jasa; and he set the battle in array against Israel.
Toda Sihón ni zaupal Izraelu, da gre skozi njegovo pokrajino, temveč je Sihón zbral skupaj vse svoje ljudstvo, se utaboril v Jahacu in se boril zoper Izrael.
21 And the Lord God of Israel delivered Seon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they struck him; and Israel inherited all the land of the Amorite who lived in that land,
Gospod, Izraelov Bog, je Sihóna in vse njegovo ljudstvo izročil v roko Izraelcev in ti so jih udarili. Tako je Izrael vzel v last vso deželo Amoréjcev, prebivalcev tiste dežele.
22 from Arnon and to Jaboc, and from the wilderness to Jordan.
V last so vzeli vse pokrajine Amoréjcev, od Arnóna, celo do Jabóka in od divjine, celo do Jordana.
23 And now the Lord God of Israel has removed the Amorite from before his people Israel, and shall you inherit his [land]?
Tako je torej Gospod, Izraelov Bog, Amoréjce razlastil izpred svojega ljudstva Izraela in ti naj bi to vzel v last?
24 Will you not inherit those possessions which Chamos your god shall cause you to inherit; and shall not we inherit the [land of] all those whom the Lord our God has removed from before you?
Ali ne boš vzel v last tega, kar ti tvoj bog Kemoš daje v last? Tako kogarkoli bo Gospod, naš Bog, napodil izpred nas, te bomo vzeli v last.
25 And now are you any better than Balac son of Sepphor, king of Moab? did he indeed fight with Israel, or indeed make war with him,
In sedaj ali si ti kakorkoli boljši kakor Balák, Cipórjev sin, moábski kralj? Ali se je on kdaj prepiral zoper Izrael, ali se je kdaj boril zoper njih,
26 when [Israel] lived in Esebon and in its coasts, and in the land of Aroer and in its coasts, and in all the cities by Jordan, three hundred years? and therefore did you not recover them in that time?
medtem ko je Izrael tristo let prebival v Hešbónu in njegovih mestih, v Aroêrju in njegovih mestih in v vseh mestih, ki so vzdolž ob pokrajinah Arnóna? Zakaj jih torej niste povrnili znotraj tega časa?
27 And now I have not sinned against you, but you wrong me in preparing war against me: may the Lord the Judge judge this day between the children of Israel and the children of Ammon.
Zato nisem grešil zoper tebe, temveč mi ti delaš krivico, da se vojskuješ zoper mene. Gospod, Sodnik, naj bo danes sodnik med Izraelovi otroci in Amónovimi otroci.‹«
28 But the king of the children of Ammon listened not to the words of Jephthae, which he sent to him.
Vendar kralj Amónovih otrok ni prisluhnil Jeftejevim besedam, ki mu jih je poslal.
29 And the spirit of the Lord came upon Jephthae, and he passed over Galaad, and Manasse, and passed by the watch-tower of Galaad to the other side of the children of Ammon.
Potem je Gospodov Duh prišel nad Jefteja in ta je prečkal Gileád in Manáse in šel čez Micpo v Gileádu in iz Micpe v Gileádu prečkal k Amónovim otrokom.
30 And Jephthae vowed a vow to the Lord, and said, If you will indeed deliver the children of Ammon into my hand,
Jefte je prisegel zaobljubo Gospodu in rekel: »Če mi boš čisto gotovo izročil Amónove sinove v moje roke,
31 then it shall come to pass that whoever shall first come out of the door of my house to meet me when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, he shall be the Lord's: I will offer him up for a whole burnt offering.
potem se bo zgodilo, da kdorkoli pride naprej od vrat moje hiše, da bi me srečal, ko se v miru vrnem od Amónovih otrok, bo zagotovo Gospodov in daroval ga bom za žgalno daritev.«
32 And Jephthae advanced to meet the sons of Ammon to fight against them; and the Lord delivered them into his hand.
Tako je Jefte prešel preko k Amónovim otrokom, da se bori zoper njih in Gospod jih je izročil v njegove roke.
33 And he struck them from Aroer till [one] comes to Arnon, in number twenty cities, and as far as Ebelcharmim, with a very great destruction: and the children of Ammon were straitened before the children of Israel.
Udaril jih je od Aroêrja, celo dokler ne prideš v Minít, celó dvajset mest in do ravnine vinogradov, z zelo velikim pokolom. Tako so bili Amónovi otroci podjarmljeni pred Izraelovimi otroci.
34 And Jephthae came to Massepha to his house; and behold, his daughter came forth to meet him with timbrels and dances; and she was his only child, he had not another son or daughter.
Jefte je prišel v Micpo, k svoji hiši in glej, njegova hči je prišla ven, da ga sreča s tamburini in s plesi. Ona pa je bila njegov edini otrok. Poleg nje ni imel niti sina niti hčere.
35 And it came to pass when he saw her, that he tore his garments, and said, Ah, ah, my daughter, you have indeed troubled me, and you were the cause of my trouble; and I have opened my mouth against you to the Lord, and I shall not be able to return from it.
Pripetilo se je, ko jo je zagledal, da je pretrgal svoja oblačila in rekel: »Ojoj, moja hči! Zelo si me potrla in ti si ena izmed tistih, ki me vznemirjajo, kajti svoja usta sem odprl h Gospodu in se ne morem obrniti nazaj.«
36 And she said to him, Father, have you opened your mouth to the Lord? Do to me accordingly as [the word] went out of your mouth, in that the Lord has wrought vengeance for you on your enemies of the children of Ammon.
Rekla mu je: »Moj oče, če si svoja usta odprl h Gospodu, mi stori glede na to, kar je prišlo iz tvojih ust, kakor se je Gospod zate maščeval na tvojih sovražnikih, na Amónovih otrocih.«
37 And she said to her father, Let my father now do this thing: let me alone for two months, and I will go up and down on the mountains, and I will bewail my virginity, I and my companions.
Svojemu očetu je rekla: »Naj mi bo storjena ta stvar. Dva meseca me pusti samo, da lahko grem gor in dol po gorah in objokujem svoje devištvo, jaz in moje prijateljice.«
38 And he said, Go: and he sent her away for two months; and she went, and her companions, and she bewailed her virginity on the mountains.
Rekel je: »Pojdi.« In za dva meseca jo je poslal proč in odšla je s svojimi družabnicami ter po gorah objokovala svoje devištvo.
39 And it came to pass at the end of the two months that she returned to her father; and he performed upon her his vow which he vowed; and she knew no man:
Pripetilo se je ob koncu dveh mesecev, da se je vrnila k svojemu očetu, ki je z njo storil glede na svojo zaobljubo, ki jo je prisegel. Nobenega moškega ni spoznala. In to je bil zakon v Izraelu,
40 and it was an ordinance in Israel, [That] the daughters of Israel went from year to year to bewail the daughter of Jephthae the Galaadite for four days in a year.
da so Izraelove hčere vsako leto odšle, da štiri dni v letu objokujejo hčer Gileádca Jefteja.
