Judges 3
1 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;
Torej to so narodi, ki jih je pustil Gospod, da z njimi preizkusi Izraela, torej tiste iz Izraela, ki niso poznali vseh kánaanskih vojn,
2 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; )
samo da bi rodovi Izraelovih otrok lahko vedeli, da jih naučijo vojne, vsaj tiste, ki prej niso ničesar vedeli o tem,
3 [Namely], five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt on mount Lebanon, from mount Baal-hermon to the entrance of Hamath.
namreč pet filistejskih knezov in vse Kánaance, Sidónce in Hivéjce, ki so prebivali na gori Libanon, od gore Báal Hermon, do vhoda v Hamát.
4 And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken to the commandments of the LORD, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
Bili so, da z njimi preizkusi Izraela, da spozna, ali bodo prisluhnili Gospodovim zapovedim, ki jih je po Mojzesovi roki zapovedal njihovim očetom.
5 And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites:
Izraelovi otroci so prebivali med Kánaanci, Hetejci, Amoréjci, Perizéjci, Hivéjci in Jebusejci
6 And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.
in jemali so njihove hčere, da so postale njihove žene in svoje hčere so dajali njihovim sinovom in služili njihovim bogovom.
7 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgot the LORD their God, and served Baalim, and the groves.
Izraelovi otroci so počeli zlo v Gospodovih očeh in pozabili Gospoda, svojega Boga in služili Báalom in ašeram.
8 Therefore the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Chushan-rishathaim eight years.
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.
9 And when the children of Israel cried to the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, [even] Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.
Ko so Izraelovi otroci vpili h Gospodu, je Gospod Izraelovim otrokom dvignil osvoboditelja, ki jih je osvobodil, Kenázovega sina Otniéla, Kalébovega mlajšega brata.
10 And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: and the LORD delivered Chushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushan-rishathaim.
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.
11 And the land had rest forty years: and Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
Dežela je imela štirideset let počitek in Kenázov sin Otniél je umrl.
12 And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD.
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.
13 And he gathered to him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm-trees.
K sebi je zbral otroke Amóna in Amáleka ter odšel in udaril Izrael in v last vzel mesto palmovih dreves.
14 So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
Tako so Izraelovi otroci osemnajst let služili moábskemu kralju Eglónu.
15 But when the children of Israel cried to the LORD, the LORD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjaminite, a man left-handed: and by him the children of Israel sent a present to Eglon king of Moab.
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.
16 But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he girded it under his raiment upon his right thigh.
Toda Ehúd si je naredil bodalo, ki je imelo dve ostrini, komolec dolgo in opasal si ga je pod oblačilo, na svoje desno stegno.
17 And he brought the present to Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon [was] a very fat man.
In prinesel je darilo moábskemu kralju Eglónu. Eglón pa je bil zelo debel mož.
18 And when he had made an end to offer the present, he sent away the people that bore the present.
Ko je končal s ponujanjem darila, je ljudstvo, ki je nosilo darilo, odposlal proč.
19 But he himself turned again from the quarries that [were] by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand to thee, O king: who said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.
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.
20 And Ehud came to him; and he was sitting in a summer-parlor, which he had for himself alone: and Ehud said, I have a message from God to thee. And he arose from [his] seat.
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.
21 And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:
Ehúd je svojo levo roko iztegnil naprej, vzel bodalo s svojega desnega stegna in ga zabodel v njegov trebuh.
22 And the haft also entered after the blade: and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out.
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.
23 Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlor upon him, and locked them.
Potem je Ehúd šel naprej skozi preddverje ter za seboj zaprl vrata dvorane in jih zaklenil.
24 When he had gone out, his servants came; and when they saw that, behold, the doors of the parlor [were] locked, they said, Surely he covereth his feet in his summer-chamber.
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.«
25 And they tarried till they were ashamed: and behold, he opened not the doors of the parlor, therefore they took a key and opened [them]: and behold, their lord lay dead on the earth.
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.
26 And Ehud escaped while they tarried; and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped to Seirath.
Ehúd pa je pobegnil, medtem ko so se zadrževali in šel onkraj klesancev in pobegnil v Seíro.
27 And it came to pass when he had come, that he blew a trumpet in the mountain of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the mount, and he before them.
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.
28 And he said to them, Follow me: for the LORD hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of Jordan towards Moab, and suffered not a man to pass over.
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.
29 And they slew of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all lusty, and all men of valor: and there escaped not a man.
Ob tistem času so iz Moába usmrtili okoli deset tisoč mož, vse krepke in vse junaške može; in tam ni utekel niti [en] človek.
30 So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel: and the land had rest eighty years.
Tako je bil tisti dan Moáb podjarmljen pod Izraelovo roko. In dežela je imela osemdeset let počitek.
31 And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who slew of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox-goad; and he also delivered Israel.
Za njim je bil Anátov sin Šamgár, ki je z volovsko palico z bodico izmed Filistejcev usmrtil šeststo mož. Tudi on je osvobodil Izraela.
