Judges 6
1 And the sons of Israel do evil in the eyes of YHWH, and YHWH gives them into the hand of Midian [for] 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 Midian is strong against Israel, [so] the sons of Israel have made for themselves the nooks which [are] in the mountains, and the caves, and the strongholds [to hide] from the presence of Midian.
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 has been, if Israel has sowed, that Midian has come up, and Amalek, and the sons of the east, indeed, they have come up against him,
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 encamp against them, and destroy the increase of the land until your entering Gaza; and they leave no sustenance in Israel, either sheep, or ox, or donkey;
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 livestock come up, with their tents; they come in as the fullness of the locust for multitude, and of them and of their livestock there is no number, and they come into the land to destroy it.
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 is very weak from the presence of Midian, and the sons of Israel cry to YHWH.
Zaradi Midjáncev je bil Izrael silno obubožan in Izraelovi otroci so klicali h Gospodu.
7 And it comes to pass, when the sons of Israel have cried to YHWH concerning Midian,
Pripetilo se je, ko so zaradi Midjáncev Izraelovi otroci klicali h Gospodu,
8 that YHWH sends a man, a prophet, to the sons of Israel, and he says to them, “Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: I have brought you up out of Egypt, and I bring you out from a house of servants,
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 deliver you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all your oppressors, and I cast them out from your presence, and I give their land to you,
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 say to you, I [am] your God YHWH, you do not fear the gods of the Amorite in whose land you are dwelling—and you have not listened 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 the Messenger of YHWH comes and sits under the oak which [is] in Ophrah, which [is] to Joash the Abi-Ezrite, and his son Gideon is beating out wheat in the winepress, to remove [it] from the presence of the Midianites;
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 Messenger of YHWH appears to him and says to him, “YHWH [is] with you, O mighty man of valor.”
Prikazal se mu je Gospodov angel ter mu rekel: » Gospod je s teboj, mogočen, hraber mož.«
13 And Gideon says to Him, “O my Lord, [if] YHWH is indeed with us, then why has all this found us? And where [are] all His wonders which our fathers recounted to us, saying, Has YHWH not brought us up out of Egypt? And now YHWH has left us, and gives us into the hand of Midian.”
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 YHWH turns to him and says, “Go in this—your power; and you have saved Israel out of the hand of Midian—have I not 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 he says to Him, “O my Lord, with what do I save Israel? Behold, my chief [is] weak in Manasseh, and I [am] the least in the house of my father.”
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 YHWH says to him, “Because I am with you—you have struck the Midianites as one man.”
Gospod mu je rekel: »Zagotovo bom jaz s teboj in Midjánce boš udaril kakor en mož.«
17 And he says to Him, “Now if I have found grace in Your eyes, then You have done a sign for me that You are speaking with me.
Ta mu je rekel: »Če sem torej našel milost v tvojem pogledu, potem mi pokaži znamenje, da ti govoriš z menoj.
18 Please do not move from here until my coming to You, and I have brought out my present, and put it before You”; and He says, “I abide until your 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 Gideon has gone in, and prepares a kid of the goats, and an ephah of flour [worth] of unleavened things; he has put the flesh in a basket, and he has put the broth in a pot, and he brings [them] out to Him, to the place of the oak, and brings [them] 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 Messenger of God says to him, “Take the flesh and the unleavened things, and place [them] on this rock—and pour out the broth”; and he does 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 Messenger of YHWH puts forth the end of the staff which [is] in His hand, and comes against the flesh, and against the unleavened things, and the fire goes up out of the rock and consumes the flesh and the unleavened things—and the Messenger of YHWH has gone from his eyes.
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 Gideon sees that He [is] the Messenger of YHWH, and Gideon says, “Aah, Lord YHWH! For so I have looked on the Messenger of YHWH 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 YHWH says to him, “Peace to you; do not fear; you do not die.”
Gospod mu je rekel: »Mir ti bodi, ne boj se. Ne boš umrl.«
24 And Gideon builds an altar to YHWH there, and calls it YHWH-Shalom, it [is] yet in Ophrah of the Abi-Ezrites to this day.
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 comes to pass, on that night, that YHWH says to him, “Take the young ox which your father has, and the second bullock of seven years, and you have thrown down the altar of Ba‘al which your father has, and cut down the Asherah which [is] by it,
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 have built an altar to your God YHWH on the top of this stronghold, by the arrangement, and have taken the second bullock, and caused a burnt-offering to ascend with the wood of the Asherah which you cut down.”
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 Gideon takes ten men of his servants, and does as YHWH has spoken to him, and it comes to pass, because he has been afraid of the house of his father, and the men of the city, to do [it] by day, that he does [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 rise early in the morning, and behold, the altar of Ba‘al has been broken down, and the Asherah which is by it has been cut down, and the second bullock has been offered on the altar which is 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 they say to one another, “Who has done this thing?” And they inquire and seek, and they say, “Gideon son of Joash has 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 say to Joash, “Bring out your son, and he dies, because he has broken down the altar of Ba‘al, and because he has cut down the Asherah which [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 Joash says to all who have stood against him, “You, do you plead for Ba‘al? You—do you save him? He who pleads for him is put to death during the morning; if he [is] a god he pleads against him himself, because he has broken 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 calls him, on that day, Jerubba‘al, saying, “The Ba‘al pleads against him, because he has broken down his altar.”
Zato ga je na ta dan imenoval Jerubáal, rekoč: »Naj Báal navaja dokaze zoper njega, ker je zrušil njegov oltar.«
33 And all Midian and Amalek and the sons of the east have been gathered together, and pass over, and encamp in the Valley of Jezreel,
Potem so se skupaj zbrali vsi Midjánci, Amálečani in otroci vzhoda, odšli preko in se utaborili v dolini Jezreél.
34 and the Spirit of YHWH has clothed Gideon, and he blows with a horn, and Abi-Ezer is called after him;
Toda Gospodov Duh je prišel nad Gideóna in ta je zatrobil na šofar in Abiézer je bil zbran za njim.
35 and he has sent messengers into all Manasseh, and it is also called after him; and he has sent messengers into Asher, and into Zebulun, and into Naphtali, and they come 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 Gideon says to God, “If You are Savior of Israel by my hand, as You have spoken,
Gideón je rekel Bogu: »Če hočeš po moji roki rešiti Izraela, kakor si rekel,
37 behold, I am placing the fleece of wool in the threshing-floor: if dew is only on the fleece, and dryness on all the earth—then I have known that You save Israel by my hand, as You have spoken”;
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 is so, and he rises early on the next day, and presses the fleece, and wrings dew out of the fleece—the fullness of the bowl of waters.
In bilo je tako, kajti naslednji dan je zgodaj vstal in iz runa iztisnil roso, polno skledico vode.
39 And Gideon says to God, “Do not let Your anger burn against me, and I only speak this time; please let me try only this time with the fleece—please let there be only dryness on the fleece, and let there be dew on all the earth.”
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 does so on that night, and there is only dryness on the fleece, and there has been dew on all the earth.
Bog je to noč storil tako, kajti bilo je suho samo na runu, rosa pa je bila po vsej zemlji.
