Judges 6
1 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord gave them into the hand of Madiam seven years.
Izraelovi otroci so v Gospodovih očeh počeli zlo in Gospod jih je [za] sedem let izročil v roko Midjáncev.
2 And the hand of Madiam prevailed against Israel: and the children of Israel made for themselves because of Madiam the caves in the mountains, and the dens, and the holes in the rocks.
Roka Midjáncev je prevladala zoper Izraela in zaradi Midjáncev so si Izraelovi otroci naredili jame, ki so v gorah, votline in oporišča.
3 And it came to pass when the children of Israel sowed, that Madiam and Amalec went up, and the children of the east went up together with them.
Bilo je tako, ko je Izrael sejal, da so prišli gor Midjánci, Amalečani in otroci vzhoda, celó ti so prišli gor zoper njih
4 And they encamped against them, and destroyed their fruits until they came to Gaza; and they left not the support of life in the land of Israel, not even ox or ass amongst the herds.
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.
5 For they and their stock came up, and their tents were with them, as the locust in multitude, and there was no number to them and their camels; and they came to the land of Israel, and laid it waste.
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.
6 And Israel was greatly impoverished because of Madiam.
Zaradi Midjáncev je bil Izrael silno obubožan in Izraelovi otroci so klicali h Gospodu.
7 And the children of Israel cried to the Lord because of Madiam.
Pripetilo se je, ko so zaradi Midjáncev Izraelovi otroci klicali h Gospodu,
8 And the Lord sent a prophet to the children of Israel; and he said to them, Thus says the Lord God of Israel, I am he that brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and I brought you up out of the house of your bondage.
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,
9 And I delivered you out of the hand of Egypt, and out of the hand of all that afflicted you, and I cast them out before you; and I gave you their land.
vas osvobodil iz roke Egipčanov in iz roke vseh, ki so vas zatirali in jih pregnal izpred vas in vam dal njihovo deželo
10 And I said to you, I [am] the Lord your God: you shall not fear the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell; but you listened not to my voice.
ter vam rekel: ›Jaz sem Gospod, vaš Bog. Ne bojte se bogov Amoréjcev, v katerih deželi prebivate.‹ Toda niste ubogali mojega glasu.‹«
11 And an angel of the Lord came, and sat down under the fir tree, which was in Ephratha in the land of Joas father of Esdri; and Gedeon his son [was] threshing wheat in a wine-press in order to escape from the face of Madiam.
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.
12 And the angel of the Lord appeared to him and said to him, The Lord [is] with you, you mighty in strength.
Prikazal se mu je Gospodov angel ter mu rekel: » Gospod je s teboj, mogočen, hraber mož.«
13 And Gedeon said to him, [Be gracious] with me, my Lord: but if the Lord is with us, why have these evils found us? and where are all his miracles, which our fathers have related to us, saying, Did not the Lord bring us up out of Egypt? and now he has cast us out, and given us into the hand of Madiam.
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.‹«
14 And the angel of the Lord turned to him, and said, Go in this your strength, and you shall save Israel out of the hand of Madiam: behold, I have sent you.
Gospod je pogledal nanj in rekel: »Pojdi v tej svoji moči in ti boš Izraela rešil iz roke Midjáncev. Ali te nisem jaz poslal?«
15 And Gedeon said to him, [Be gracious] with me, my Lord: whereby shall I save Israel? behold, my thousand is weakened in Manasse, and I am the least in my father's house.
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.«
16 And the angel of the Lord said to him, The Lord shall be with you, and you shall strike Madiam as one man.
Gospod mu je rekel: »Zagotovo bom jaz s teboj in Midjánce boš udaril kakor en mož.«
17 And Gedeon said to him, If now I have found mercy in your eyes, and you will do this day for me all that you have spoken of with me,
Ta mu je rekel: »Če sem torej našel milost v tvojem pogledu, potem mi pokaži znamenje, da ti govoriš z menoj.
18 depart not hence until I come to you, and I will bring forth an offering and offer it before you: and he said, I will remain until you return.
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.«
19 And Gedeon went in, and prepared a kid of the goats, and an ephah of fine flour unleavened; and he put the flesh in the basket, and poured the broth into the pot, and brought them forth to him under the turpentine tree, and drew near.
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.
20 And the angel of God said to him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and put them on that rock, and pour out the broth close by: and he did so.
Angel od Boga mu je rekel: »Vzemi meso in nekvašene kolače ter jih položi na to skalo in izlij juho.« In tako je storil.
21 And the angel of the Lord stretched out the end of the rod that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened bread; and fire came up out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened bread, and the angel of the Lord vanished from his sight.
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.
22 And Gedeon saw that he was an angel of the Lord; and Gedeon said, Ah, ah, Lord my God! for I have seen the angel of the Lord face to face.
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.«
23 And the Lord said to him, Peace be to you, fear not, you shall not die.
Gospod mu je rekel: »Mir ti bodi, ne boj se. Ne boš umrl.«
24 And Gedeon built there an altar to the Lord, and called it The peace of the Lord, until this day, as it is still inEphratha of the father of Esdri.
Potem je Gideón tam zgradil oltar Gospodu in ga imenoval Jahve–šalom. Do današnjega dne je ta še vedno v Ofri Abiézerjevcev.
25 And it came to pass in that night, that the Lord said to him, Take the young bullock which your father has, even the second bullock of seven years old, and you shall destroy the altar of Baal which your father has, and the grove which is by itthou shall destroy.
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
26 And you shall build an altar to the Lord your God on the top of this Maozi in the ordering[it], and you shall take the second bullock, and shall offer up whole burnt offerings with the wood of the grove, which you shall destroy.
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.«
27 And Gedeon took ten men of his servants, and did as the Lord spoke to him: and it came to pass, as he feared the house of his father and the men of the city if he should do it by day, that he did it by night.
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.
28 And the men of the city rose up early in the morning; and behold, the altar of Baal had been demolished, and the grove by it had been destroyed; and they saw the second bullock, which Gedeon offered on the altar that had been built.
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.
29 And a man said to his neighbour, Who has done this thing? and they enquired and searched, and learnt that Gedeon the son of Joas had done this thing.
Drug drugemu so rekli: »Kdo je storil to stvar?« Ko so poizvedovali in spraševali, so rekli: »To stvar je storil Joášev sin Gideón.«
30 And the men of the city said to Joas, Bring out your son, and let him die, because he has destroyed the altar of Baal, and because he has destroyed the grove that is by it.
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.«
31 And Gedeon the son of Joas said to all the men who rose up against him, Do you now plead for Baal, or will you save him? whoever will plead for him, let him be slain this morning: if he be a god let him plead for himself, [because] one has thrown down his altar.
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.«
32 And he called it in that day Jerobaal, saying, Let Baal plead thereby, because his altar has been thrown down.
Zato ga je na ta dan imenoval Jerubáal, rekoč: »Naj Báal navaja dokaze zoper njega, ker je zrušil njegov oltar.«
33 And all Madiam, and Amalek, and the sons of the east gathered themselves together, and encamped in the valley of Jezrael.
Potem so se skupaj zbrali vsi Midjánci, Amálečani in otroci vzhoda, odšli preko in se utaborili v dolini Jezreél.
34 And the Spirit of the Lord came upon Gedeon, and he blew with the horn, and Abiezer came to help after him.
Toda Gospodov Duh je prišel nad Gideóna in ta je zatrobil na šofar in Abiézer je bil zbran za njim.
35 And [Gedeon] sent messengers into all Manasse, and into Aser, and into Zabulon, and into Nephthali; and he went up to meet them.
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.
36 And Gedeon said to God, If you will save Israel by my hand, as you have said,
Gideón je rekel Bogu: »Če hočeš po moji roki rešiti Izraela, kakor si rekel,
37 behold, I put the fleece of wool in the threshing floor: if there be dew on the fleece only, and drought on all the ground, I shall know that you will save Israel by my hand, as you have said.
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.«
38 And it was so: and he rose up early in the morning, and wrung the fleece, and dew dropped from the fleece, a bowl full of water.
In bilo je tako, kajti naslednji dan je zgodaj vstal in iz runa iztisnil roso, polno skledico vode.
39 And Gedeon said to God, Let not, I pray you, your anger be kindled with me, and I will speak yet once; I will even yet make one trial more with the fleece: let now the drought be upon the fleece only, and let there be dew on all the ground.
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.«
40 And God did so in that night; and there was drought on the fleece only, and on all the ground there was dew.
Bog je to noč storil tako, kajti bilo je suho samo na runu, rosa pa je bila po vsej zemlji.
