Књига о судијама 2
1 И дође анђео Господњи од Галгала у Воким и рече: Извео сам вас из Мисира и довео вас у земљу за коју сам се заклео оцима вашим; и рекох: Нећу покварити завет свој с вама довека.
Now the angel of the Lord came up from Gilgal to Bochim. And he said, I took you out of Egypt, guiding you into the land which I gave by an oath to your fathers; and I said, My agreement with you will never be broken by me:
2 А ви не хватајте веру са становницима те земље, олтаре њихове раскопајте. Али не послушасте глас мој. Шта сте то учинили?
And you are to make no agreement with the people of this land; you are to see that their altars are broken down: but you have not given ear to my voice: what have you done?
3 Зато и ја рекох: Нећу их одагнати испред вас, него ће вам бити као трње, и богови њихови биће вам замка.
And so I have said, I will not send them out from before you; but they will be a danger to you, and their gods will be a cause of falling to you.
4 А кад изговори анђео Господњи ове речи свим синовима Израиљевим, народ подиже глас свој и плака.
Now on hearing these words which the angel of the Lord said to all the children of Israel, the people gave themselves up to loud crying and weeping.
5 Зато прозваше оно место Воким; и онде принесоше жртве Господу.
And they gave that place the name of Bochim, and made offerings there to the Lord.
6 А Исус распусти народ, и разиђоше се синови Израиљеви сваки на своје наследство, да наследе земљу.
And Joshua let the people go away, and the children of Israel went, every man to his heritage, to take the land for themselves.
7 И служи народ Господу свега века Исусовог и свега века старешина који живеше дуго иза Исуса које беху виделе сва велика дела Господња што учини Израиљу.
And the people were true to the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the responsible men who were still living after the death of Joshua, and had seen all the great work of the Lord which he had done for Israel.
8 Али умре Исус син Навин слуга Господњи, кад му беше сто и десет година.
And death came to Joshua, the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, he being a hundred and ten years old.
9 И погребоше га у међама наследства његовог у Тамнат-Аресу у гори Јефремовој са севера гори Гасу.
And they put his body in the earth in the land of his heritage in Timnath-heres, in the hill-country of Ephraim to the north of Mount Gaash.
10 И сав онај нараштај прибра се к оцима својим, и наста други нараштај иза њих, који не познаваше Господа ни дела која је учинио Израиљу.
And in time death overtook all that generation; and another generation came after them, having no knowledge of the Lord or of the things which he had done for Israel.
11 И синови Израиљеви, чинише што је зло пред Господом, и служише Валима.
And the children of Israel did evil in the eyes of the Lord and became servants to the Baals;
12 И оставише Господа Бога отаца својих, који их је извео из земље мисирске, и пођоше за другим боговима између богова оних народа који беху око њих, и клањаше им се, и разгневише Господа.
And they gave up the Lord, the God of their fathers, who had taken them out of the land of Egypt, and went after other gods, the gods of the peoples round about them, worshipping them and moving the Lord to wrath.
13 И оставише Господа, и служише Валу и Астаротама.
And they gave up the Lord, and became the servants of Baal and the Astartes.
14 И разгневи се Господ на Израиља, и даде их у руке људима који их плењаху, и продаде их у руке непријатељима њиховим унаоколо, и не могаше се више држати пред непријатељима својим.
And the wrath of the Lord was burning against Israel, and he gave them up into the hands of those who violently took their property, and into the hands of their haters all round them, so that they were forced to give way before them.
15 Куд год полажаху, рука Господња беше против њих на зло, као што беше рекао Господ и као што им се беше заклео Господ; и беху у великој невољи.
Wherever they went out, the hand of the Lord was against them for evil, as the Lord had taken his oath it would be; and things became very hard for them.
16 Тада им Господ подизаше судије, који их избављаху из руку оних што их плењаху.
Then the Lord gave them judges, as their saviours from the hands of those who were cruel to them.
17 Али ни судија својих не слушаше, него чинише прељубу за другим боговима, и клањаше им се; брзо зађоше с пута којим идоше оци њихови слушајући заповести Господње; они не чинише тако.
But still they would not give ear to their judges, but went after other gods and gave them worship; quickly turning from the way in which their fathers had gone, keeping the orders of the Lord; but they did not do so.
18 И кад им Господ подизаше судије, беше Господ са сваким судијом, и избављаше их из руку непријатеља њихових свега века судијиног; јер се сажали Господ ради њиховог уздисања на оне који им криво чињаху и који их цвељаху.
And whenever the Lord gave them judges, then the Lord was with the judge, and was their saviour from the hands of their haters all the days of the judge; for the Lord was moved by their cries of grief because of those who were cruel to them.
19 А кад судија умре, они се враћаху опет и биваху гори од отаца својих идући за боговима другим и служећи им и клањајући им се; не остављаху се дела својих нити путева својих опаких.
But whenever the judge was dead, they went back and did more evil than their fathers, going after other gods, to be their servants and their worshippers; giving up nothing of their sins and their hard-hearted ways.
20 Зато се распали гнев Господњи на Израиља, и рече: Кад је тај народ преступио мој завет који сам заповеди оцима њиховим, и не послушаше глас мој,
And the wrath of the Lord was burning against Israel, and he said, Because this nation has not been true to my agreement which I made with their fathers, and has not given ear to my voice;
21 Ни ја нећу више ниједнога гонити испред њих између народа које остави Исус кад умре,
From now on I will not go on driving out from before them any of the nations which at the death of Joshua were still living in this land;
22 Да њима кушам Израиља хоће ли се држати пута Господњег ходећи по њему, као што су се држали оци њихови, или неће.
In order to put Israel to the test, and see if they will keep the way of the Lord, walking in it as their fathers did, or not.
23 И Господ остави те народе и не изагна их одмах не предавши их у руке Исусу.
So the Lord let those nations go on living in the land, not driving them out quickly, and did not give them up into the hands of Joshua.
