Sodniki 20
1 Potem so vsi Izraelovi otroci odšli ven in skupnost je bila zbrana skupaj kakor en mož, od Dana, celo do Beeršébe, z gileádsko deželo, h Gospodu v Micpi.
Then all the people of Israel came out as one man, from Dan to Beersheba, including the land of Gilead also, and they assembled together before Yahweh at Mizpah.
2 Vodje izmed vsega ljudstva, torej izmed vseh Izraelovih rodov, so se predstavili v zboru Božjega ljudstva, štiristo tisoč pešcev, ki so izdirali meč.
The leaders of all the people, of all the tribes of Israel, took their places in the assembly of the people of God—400,000 men on foot, who were ready to fight with the sword.
3 (Torej Benjaminovi otroci so slišali, da so Izraelovi otroci odšli gor do Micpe.) Potem so Izraelovi otroci rekli: »Povej nam, kako je bila ta zlobnost?«
Now the people of Benjamin heard that the people of Israel had gone up to Mizpah. The people of Israel said, “Tell us how this wicked thing happened.”
4 Lévijevec, soprog ženske, ki je bila umorjena, je odgovoril in rekel: »Prišel sem v Gíbeo, ki pripada Benjaminu, jaz in moja priležnica, da prenočiva.
The Levite, the husband of the woman who had been murdered, answered, “I came to Gibeah in the territory that belongs to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to spend the night.
5 Možje iz Gíbee pa so vstali zoper mene in ponoči obdali hišo naokoli mene in me mislili umoriti. Mojo priležnico pa so posilili, da je mrtva.
During the night, the leaders of Gibeah attacked me, surrounding the house, intending to kill me. They raped my concubine, and she died.
6 Vzel sem svojo priležnico, jo razsekal na kose in jo razposlal po vsej deželi Izraelove dediščine, kajti v Izraelu so zagrešili nespodobnost in neumnost.
I took my concubine and cut her body into pieces, and sent them into each region of Israel's inheritance, because they have committed such wickedness and outrage in Israel.
7 Glejte, vi vsi ste Izraelovi otroci, dajte tukaj svojo besedo in nasvet.«
Now, all you Israelites, give your advice and counsel here.”
8 Vse ljudstvo je vstalo kakor en mož, rekoč: »Nobeden izmed nas ne bo šel k svojemu šotoru niti se nobeden izmed nas ne bo obrnil v svojo hišo.
All the people arose together as one man, and they said, “None of us will go to his tent, and none of us will return to his house!
9 Toda sedaj bo to stvar, ki jo bomo storili Gíbei. Šli bomo gor po žrebu zoper njo
But now this is what we must do to Gibeah: We will attack it as the lot directs us.
10 in vzeli bomo po vseh Izraelovih rodovih deset mož izmed sto in sto izmed tisoč in tisoč izmed deset tisoč, da prinesejo živež za ljudstvo, da bodo lahko delali, ko pridejo v Benjaminovo Gíbeo, glede na vso neumnost, ki so jo oni storili v Izraelu.«
We will take ten men of a hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and one hundred of a thousand, and one thousand of ten thousand, to get provisions for these people, so that when they come to Gibeah in Benjamin, they may punish them for the wickedness they committed in Israel.”
11 Tako so bili vsi Izraelovi možje, zbrani zoper mesto, povezani skupaj kakor en mož.
So all the soldiers of Israel assembled against the city, as one man.
12 Izraelovi rodovi so poslali može skozi ves Benjaminov rod, rekoč: »Kakšna zlobnost je ta, ki je bila storjena med vami?
The tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, “What is this wickedness that was done among you?
13 Zdaj nam torej izročite može, Beliálove otroke, ki so v Gíbei, da jih lahko usmrtimo in iz Izraela odstranimo zlo.« Toda Benjaminovi otroci niso hoteli prisluhniti glasu njihovih bratov, Izraelovih otrok,
Therefore, give us those wicked men of Gibeah, so we may put them to death, and so we will completely remove this evil from Israel.” But the Benjamites would not listen to the voice of their brothers, the people of Israel.
14 temveč so se Benjaminovi otroci zbrali skupaj iz vseh mest v Gíbeo, da gredo ven, da se bojujejo zoper Izraelove otroke.
Then the people of Benjamin came together out of the cities to Gibeah to get ready to fight against the people of Israel.
15 Benjaminovi otroci so bili ob tistem času prešteti iz mest, šestindvajset tisoč mož, ki so izdirali meč, poleg prebivalcev Gíbee, katerih je bilo preštetih sedemsto izbranih mož.
The people of Benjamin brought together from their cities to fight on that day twenty-six thousand soldiers who were trained to fight with the sword. In addition, there were seven hundred of their chosen men from the inhabitants of Gibeah.
16 Med vsem tem ljudstvom je bilo tam sedemsto izbranih mož, ki so bili levični. Vsak je lahko metal kamne za las natančno in ni zgrešil.
Among all these soldiers were seven hundred chosen men who were left-handed. Each of them could sling a stone at a hair and not miss.
17 Mož iz Izraela, poleg Benjamina, je bilo preštetih štiristo tisoč mož, ki so izdirali meč. Vsi ti so bili bojevniki.
The people of Israel, not counting the number from Benjamin, numbered 400,000 men, who were trained to fight with the sword. All of these were men of war.
18 Izraelovi otroci so vstali in odšli gor h Gospodovi hiši in vprašali za nasvet od Boga ter rekli: »Kdo izmed nas bo prvi šel gor v bitko zoper Benjaminove otroke?« Gospod je rekel: »Juda bo prvi šel gor.«
The people of Israel arose, went up to Bethel, and asked for advice from God. They asked, “Who first will attack the people of Benjamin for us?” Yahweh said, “Judah will attack first.”
19 Izraelovi otroci so zjutraj vstali in se utaborili zoper Gíbeo.
The people of Israel got up in the morning and they moved their camp near Gibeah.
20 Izraelovi možje so odšli ven, da se bojujejo zoper Benjamina. Izraelovi možje so se razvrstili, da se bojujejo zoper te v Gíbei.
The people of Israel went out to fight against Benjamin. They set up their battle positions against them at Gibeah.
21 Benjaminovi otroci so prišli ven iz Gíbee in izmed Izraelcev ta dan do tal uničili dvaindvajset tisoč mož.
The people of Benjamin came out of Gibeah, and they killed twenty-two thousand men of the army of Israel on that day.
22 Ljudstvo Izraelovih mož se je ohrabrilo in svojo bitko ponovno razvrstilo na kraju, kjer so se razvrstili prvi dan.
But the people of Israel strengthened themselves and they formed the battle line in the same place where they had taken positions on the first day.
23 (Izraelovi otroci so odšli gor in do večera jokali pred Gospodom in prosili Gospoda za nasvet, rekoč: »Ali naj grem ponovno gor v bitko zoper otroke Benjamina, svojega brata?« Gospod je rekel: »Pojdite gor zoper njih.«)
Then the people of Israel went up and they wept before Yahweh until evening, and they sought direction from Yahweh. They said, “Should we go again to fight against our brothers, the people of Benjamin?” Yahweh said, “Attack them!”
24 Izraelovi otroci so se drugi dan približali zoper Benjaminove otroke.
So the people of Israel went against the soldiers of Benjamin the second day.
25 Benjamin je drugi dan odšel naprej, ven iz Gíbee, zoper njih in izmed Izraelovih otrok do tal ponovno uničil osemnajst tisoč mož. Vsi ti so izdirali meč.
On the second day, Benjamin went out against them from Gibeah and they killed eighteen thousand men from the people of Israel. All were men who trained to fight with the sword.
26 Potem so vsi Izraelovi otroci in vse ljudstvo odšli gor in prišli k Božji hiši, jokali in tam sedeli pred Gospodom in se ta dan postili do večera in pred Gospodom darovali žgalne daritve in mirovne daritve.
Then all the soldiers of Israel and all the people went up to Bethel and wept, and there they sat before Yahweh and they fasted that day until the evening and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before Yahweh.
27 Izraelovi otroci so poizvedeli od Gospoda (kajti skrinja Božje zaveze je bila v tistih dneh tam
The people of Israel asked Yahweh—for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,
28 in Pinhás, sin Eleazarja, sinú Arona, je v tistih dneh stal pred njo), rekoč: »Ali naj grem ponovno ven v bitko zoper otroke Benjamina, svojega brata ali naj odneham?« Gospod je rekel: »Pojdi gor, kajti jutri ti jih bom izročil v roko.«
and Phinehas, son of Eleazar son of Aaron, was serving before the ark in those days—”Should we go out to battle once more against the people of Benjamin, our brothers, or stop?” Yahweh said, “Attack, for tomorrow I will help you defeat them.”
29 Izrael je okoli Gíbee postavil prežavce v zasedi.
So Israel set men in secret places around Gibeah.
30 Izraelovi otroci so na tretji dan odšli gor zoper Benjaminove otroke in se kakor poprej razvrstili zoper Gíbeo.
The people of Israel fought against the people of Benjamin for the third day, and they formed their battle lines against Gibeah as they had done before.
31 Benjaminovi otroci so odšli ven zoper ljudstvo in bili so odvlečeni od mesta in začeli udarjati izmed ljudstva in ubili trideset mož iz Izraela, kakor poprej na glavnih cestah, od katerih gre ena gor k Božji hiši, druga pa h Gíbei na polje.
The people of Benjamin went and fought against the people, and they were drawn away from the city. They began to kill some of the people. There were about thirty men of Israel who died in the fields and on the roads. One of the roads went up to Bethel, and the other went to Gibeah.
32 Benjaminovi otroci so rekli: »Udarjeni so pred nami kakor poprej.« Toda Izraelovi otroci so rekli: »Bežimo in jih od mesta potegnimo h glavnim cestam.«
Then the people of Benjamin said, “They are defeated and they are running away from us, just as at first.” But the soldiers of Israel said, “Let us run back and draw them away from the city to the roads.”
33 Vsi Izraelovi možje so se dvignili iz svojega kraja in se razvrstili pri Báal Tamari. Izraelovi prežavci v zasedi pa so prišli naprej iz svojih krajev, torej iz travnikov Gíbee.
All the people of Israel rose up out of their places and formed themselves into lines for battle at Baal Tamar. Then the soldiers of Israel who had been hiding in secret places ran out from their places from Maareh Gibeah.
34 Tam je prišlo zoper Gíbeo deset tisoč izbranih mož iz vsega Izraela in bitka je bila huda. Toda niso vedeli, da je bilo zlo blizu njih.
There came out against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the fighting was fierce, but the Benjamites did not know that disaster was close to them.
35 Gospod je udaril Benjamina pred Izraelom in Izraelovi otroci so izmed Benjaminovcev ta dan uničili petindvajset tisoč in sto mož. Vsi ti so izdirali meč.
Yahweh defeated Benjamin before Israel. On that day, the soldiers of Israel killed 25,100 men of Benjamin. All these who died were those who had been trained to fight with the sword.
36 Tako so Benjaminovi otroci videli, da so bili udarjeni, kajti možje iz Izraela so dali prostor Benjaminovcem, ker so zaupali v prežavce v zasedi, ki so jih postavili poleg Gíbee.
So the soldiers of Benjamin saw they were defeated. The men of Israel had given ground to Benjamin, because they were counting on the men they had placed in hidden positions outside Gibeah.
37 Prežalci v zasedi so pohiteli in navalili na Gíbeo in prežavci v zasedi so šli vzdolž in vse mesto udarili z ostrino meča.
Then the men who were hiding got up and hurried and they rushed into Gibeah, and they struck all the city with the edge of the sword.
38 Torej tam je bilo določeno znamenje med Izraelovimi možmi in prežavci v zasedi, da naj bi naredili velik plamen z dimom, ki se vzdiguje iz mesta.
The arranged signal between the soldiers of Israel and the men hiding in secret would be that a great cloud of smoke would rise up out of the city.
39 Ko so se Izraelovi možje obrnili v bitko, je Benjamin začel udarjati in izmed Izraelovih mož ubil okoli trideset oseb, kajti rekli so: »Zagotovo so udarjeni pred nami kakor v prvi bitki.«
When the signal was sent the soldiers of Israel would turn from the battle. Now Benjamin began to attack and they killed about thirty men of Israel, and they said, “It is sure that they are defeated before us, as in the first battle.”
40 Toda ko se je plamen s stebrom dima začel dvigovati iz mesta, so Benjaminovci pogledali za seboj in glej, plamen mesta se je vzdigoval k nebu.
But when a pillar of smoke began to rise up out of the city, the Benjamites turned and saw the smoke rising to the sky from the whole city.
41 Ko so se Izraelovi možje ponovno obrnili, so bili možje Benjamina osupli, kajti videli so, da je nadnje prišlo zlo.
Then the people of Israel turned against them. The men of Benjamin were terrified, for they saw that disaster had come on them.
42 Zato so svoje hrbte obrnili pred Izraelovimi možmi na pot divjine, toda bitka jih je dohitela in tiste, ki so prišli iz mest, so uničili v njihovi sredi.
So they ran away from the people of Israel, escaping on the way to the wilderness. But the fighting overtook them. The soldiers of Israel came out of the cities and killed them where they stood.
43 Tako so naokoli obkolili Benjaminovce in jih preganjali in jih z lahkoto pomendrali nasproti Gíbei, proti sončnemu vzhodu.
They surrounded the Benjamites, chased them and trampled them down at Nohah, all the way to the east side of Gibeah.
44 Tam je iz Benjamina padlo osemnajst tisoč mož. Vsi ti so bili junaški možje.
From the tribe of Benjamin, eighteen thousand people died, all of them men who were distinguished in battle.
45 In obrnili so se in pobegnili proti divjini, k Rimónovi skali. In od njih so zbrali po glavnih cestah pet tisoč mož in trdo so jih zasledovati do Gidóma in jih izmed njih usmrtili dva tisoč.
They turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon. The Israelites killed five thousand more of them along the roads. They kept going after them, following them closely all the way to Gidom, and there they killed two thousand more.
46 Tako, da je bilo vseh, ki so ta dan padli iz Benjamina, petindvajset tisoč mož, ki so izdirali meč. Vsi ti so bili junaški možje.
All the soldiers of Benjamin who fell that day were twenty-five thousand—men who were trained to fight with the sword; all of them were distinguished in battle.
47 Toda šeststo mož se je obrnilo in pobegnilo v divjino, k Rimónovi skali in v Rimónovi skali so ostali štiri mesece.
But six hundred men turned and fled to the wilderness, toward the rock of Rimmon. For four months they stayed at the rock of Rimmon.
48 Izraelovi možje so se ponovno obrnili nad Benjaminove otroke in jih udarili z ostrino meča, kakor tudi može iz vsakega mesta, tako žival in vse, kar je prišlo k roki. Prav tako so požgali vsa mesta, h katerim so prišli.
The soldiers of Israel turned back against the people of Benjamin and struck them with the edge of the sword, the city, including the animals and everything that they found. They also burned down every town in their path.
