Judges 20
1 Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation was assembled as one man, from Dan even to Beersheba, with the land of Gilead, to the LORD at Mizpah.
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.
2 The leaders of all the people, even of all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen who drew sword.
Vodje izmed vsega ljudstva, torej izmed vseh Izraelovih rodov, so se predstavili v zboru Božjega ljudstva, štiristo tisoč pešcev, ki so izdirali meč.
3 (Now the people of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel had gone up to Mizpah.) The children of Israel said, "Tell us, how did this wickedness happen?"
(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?«
4 The Levite, the husband of the woman who was murdered, answered and said, "I came into Gibeah that belongs to Benjamin, I and my secondary wife, to spend the night.
Lévijevec, soprog ženske, ki je bila umorjena, je odgovoril in rekel: »Prišel sem v Gíbeo, ki pripada Benjaminu, jaz in moja priležnica, da prenočiva.
5 And the leaders of Gibeah rose against me, and surrounded the house at night. They intended to kill me, and they raped my secondary wife, and she is dead.
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.
6 I took my secondary wife, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the territory of the inheritance of Israel; for they have committed wickedness and disgrace in Israel.
Vzel sem svojo priležnico, jo razsekal na kose in jo razposlal po vsej deželi Izraelove dediščine, kajti v Izraelu so zagrešili nespodobnost in neumnost.
7 Look, you children of Israel, all of you, give your advice and counsel here."
Glejte, vi vsi ste Izraelovi otroci, dajte tukaj svojo besedo in nasvet.«
8 All the people arose as one man, saying, "None of us will go to his tent, neither will any of us return to his house.
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.
9 But now this is the thing which we will do to Gibeah: we will go up against it by lot;
Toda sedaj bo to stvar, ki jo bomo storili Gíbei. Šli bomo gor po žrebu zoper njo
10 and we will take ten men of one hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and one hundred of one thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to get food for the people, those setting forth, that when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin they may repay all the disgrace that they have committed in Israel."
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.«
11 So all the men of Israel gathered against the city, united as one man.
Tako so bili vsi Izraelovi možje, zbrani zoper mesto, povezani skupaj kakor en mož.
12 The tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, "What wickedness is this that has happened among you?
Izraelovi rodovi so poslali može skozi ves Benjaminov rod, rekoč: »Kakšna zlobnost je ta, ki je bila storjena med vami?
13 Now therefore deliver up the men, the wicked men who are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel." But the sons of Benjamin would not listen to the voice of their brothers, the children of Israel.
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,
14 The people of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities to Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel.
temveč so se Benjaminovi otroci zbrali skupaj iz vseh mest v Gíbeo, da gredo ven, da se bojujejo zoper Izraelove otroke.
15 The people of Benjamin were numbered on that day out of the cities twenty-six thousand men who drew the sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah, who were numbered seven hundred chosen men.
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.
16 Among all this people there were seven hundred chosen men left-handed; everyone could sling stones at a hair and not miss.
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.
17 The men of Israel, besides Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men who drew sword: all these were men of war.
Mož iz Izraela, poleg Benjamina, je bilo preštetih štiristo tisoč mož, ki so izdirali meč. Vsi ti so bili bojevniki.
18 The children of Israel arose, and went up to Bethel, and asked counsel of God; and they said, "Who shall go up for us first to battle against the people of Benjamin?" The LORD said, "Judah will go up first."
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.«
19 The children of Israel rose up in the morning, and camped against Gibeah.
Izraelovi otroci so zjutraj vstali in se utaborili zoper Gíbeo.
20 The men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin; and the men of Israel set the battle in array against them at Gibeah.
Izraelovi možje so odšli ven, da se bojujejo zoper Benjamina. Izraelovi možje so se razvrstili, da se bojujejo zoper te v Gíbei.
21 The people of Benjamin came forth out of Gibeah, and destroyed down to the ground of the Israelites on that day twenty-two thousand men.
Benjaminovi otroci so prišli ven iz Gíbee in izmed Izraelcev ta dan do tal uničili dvaindvajset tisoč mož.
22 The people, the men of Israel, encouraged themselves, and set the battle again in array in the place where they set themselves in array the first day.
Ljudstvo Izraelovih mož se je ohrabrilo in svojo bitko ponovno razvrstilo na kraju, kjer so se razvrstili prvi dan.
23 The children of Israel went up and wept before the LORD until evening; and they asked of the LORD, saying, "Shall I again draw near to battle against the people of Benjamin my brother?" The LORD said, "Go up against him."
(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.«)
24 The children of Israel came near against the people of Benjamin the second day.
Izraelovi otroci so se drugi dan približali zoper Benjaminove otroke.
25 Benjamin went forth against them out of Gibeah the second day, and destroyed down to the ground of the children of Israel again eighteen thousand men; all these drew the sword.
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.
26 Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came to Bethel, and wept, and sat there before the LORD, and fasted that day until evening; and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.
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.
27 The children of Israel asked of the LORD (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,
Izraelovi otroci so poizvedeli od Gospoda (kajti skrinja Božje zaveze je bila v tistih dneh tam
28 and Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days), "Shall I yet again go out to battle against the people of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease?" The LORD said, "Go up; for tomorrow I will deliver him into your hand."
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.«
29 Israel set ambushes all around Gibeah.
Izrael je okoli Gíbee postavil prežavce v zasedi.
30 The children of Israel went up against the people of Benjamin on the third day, and set themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times.
Izraelovi otroci so na tretji dan odšli gor zoper Benjaminove otroke in se kakor poprej razvrstili zoper Gíbeo.
31 The people of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to strike and kill some of the people, as at other times, on the highways, of which one goes up to Bethel, and the other to Gibeah, in the field, about thirty men of Israel.
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.
32 The people of Benjamin said, "They are defeated before us, as previously." But the children of Israel said, "Let us flee, and draw them away from the city to the highways."
Benjaminovi otroci so rekli: »Udarjeni so pred nami kakor poprej.« Toda Izraelovi otroci so rekli: »Bežimo in jih od mesta potegnimo h glavnim cestam.«
33 All the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and set themselves in array at Baal Tamar. And the men of Israel in ambush rushed out of their place west of Geba.
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.
34 There came over against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was severe; but they didn't know that disaster was close upon them.
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.
35 The LORD struck Benjamin before Israel; and the children of Israel destroyed of Benjamin that day twenty-five thousand one hundred men: all armed with swords.
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.
36 So the people of Benjamin saw that they were defeated; for the men of Israel gave ground to Benjamin, because they trusted the ambushers whom they had set against Gibeah.
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.
37 The ambushers hurried, and rushed on Gibeah; and the ambushers drew themselves along, and struck all the city with the edge of the sword.
Prežalci v zasedi so pohiteli in navalili na Gíbeo in prežavci v zasedi so šli vzdolž in vse mesto udarili z ostrino meča.
38 Now the appointed sign between the men of Israel and the ambushers was that they should make a great cloud of smoke rise up out of the city.
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.
39 The men of Israel turned in the battle, and Benjamin began to strike and kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons; for they said, "Surely they are defeated before us, as in the first battle."
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.«
40 But when the cloud began to arise up out of the city in a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them; and look, the whole city went up in smoke into the sky.
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.
41 The men of Israel turned, and the men of Benjamin were terrified; for they saw that disaster had come on them.
Ko so se Izraelovi možje ponovno obrnili, so bili možje Benjamina osupli, kajti videli so, da je nadnje prišlo zlo.
42 Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel to the way of the wilderness; but the battle overtook them; and those who came out of the cities destroyed them in its midst.
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.
43 They surrounded Benjamin, and they pursued them from Nohah and overtook them near Gibeah toward the east.
Tako so naokoli obkolili Benjaminovce in jih preganjali in jih z lahkoto pomendrali nasproti Gíbei, proti sončnemu vzhodu.
44 There fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men; all these were men of valor.
Tam je iz Benjamina padlo osemnajst tisoč mož. Vsi ti so bili junaški možje.
45 They turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon: and they killed on the highways five thousand men, and followed hard after them to Gidom, and struck down two thousand men.
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.
46 So that all who fell that day of Benjamin were twenty-five thousand swordsmen; all these were valiant fighters.
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.
47 But six hundred men turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, and stayed in the rock of Rimmon four months.
Toda šeststo mož se je obrnilo in pobegnilo v divjino, k Rimónovi skali in v Rimónovi skali so ostali štiri mesece.
48 The men of Israel turned again on the people of Benjamin, and struck them with the edge of the sword, both the entire city, and the livestock, and all that they found: moreover all the cities which they found they set on fire.
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.
