¹Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation was gathered together as one man, from Dan even to Beersheba, with the land of Gilead, unto the LORD in Mizpeh.

¹Vtedy vyšli všetci synovia Izraelovi, a shromaždila sa celá obec ako jeden muž od Dána až po Béršebu i zem Gileáda k Hospodinovi do Micpy.

²And the chief 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 that drew sword.

²A postavili sa predáci všetkého ľudu, všetkých pokolení Izraelových, v shromaždení ľudu Božieho, ktorého bolo štyristo tisíc peších mužov, súcich tasiť mečom.

³(Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel were gone up to Mizpeh.) Then said the children of Israel, Tell us, how was this wickedness?

³A synovia Benjaminovi počuli, že vyšli synovia Izraelovi hore do Micpy. A synovia Izraelovi riekli: Hovorte, jako sa stalo to hanebné zlo?

⁴And the Levite, the husband of the woman that was slain, answered and said, I came into Gibeah that belongeth to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge.

⁴Na to odpovedal človek, Levita, muž tej zavraždenej ženy, a riekol: Do Gibee, ktorá patrí Benjaminovi, som prišiel ja i moja ženina prenocovať.

⁵And the men of Gibeah rose against me, and beset the house round about upon me by night, and thought to have slain me: and my concubine have they forced, that she is dead.

⁵A povstanúc na mňa mužovia Gibee obkľúčili ma v dome vnoci; mňa zamýšľali zabiť a moju ženinu ponížili a ztýrali tak, že zomrela.

⁶And I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel: for they have committed lewdness and folly in Israel.

⁶Preto som vzal svoju ženinu, porezal som ju na kusy a rozposlal som ju po všetkých poliach dedičstva Izraelovho, pretože vykonali hanebnosť a bláznovstvo v Izraelovi.

⁷Behold, ye are all children of Israel; give here your advice and counsel.

⁷Hľa, vy všetci ste synovia Izraelovi, vyslovte sa o tom a dajte tu radu.

⁸And all the people arose as one man, saying, We will not any of us go to his tent, neither will we any of us turn into his house.

⁸Tu povstal všetok ľud ako jeden muž a riekli: Nikto z nás nepojde do svojho stánu ani sa nikto z nás neuchýli do svojho domu.

⁹But now this shall be the thing which we will do to Gibeah; we will go up by lot against it;

⁹Ale teraz toto je to, čo urobíme Gibei: losom proti nej.

¹⁰And we will take ten men of an hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and an hundred of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to fetch victual for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly that they have wrought in Israel.

¹⁰Vezmeme desiatich mužov zo sta zo všetkých pokolení Izraelových a sto z tisíca a tisíc z desať tisícov, aby vzali potravy pre ľudí, ktorí majú vykonať, keď prijdú do Gibee Benjaminovej, podľa všetkého toho bláznovstva, ktoré spáchali v Izraelovi.

¹¹So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, knit together as one man.

¹¹A tak sa shromaždilo všetko mužstvo Izraelovo proti tomu mestu svorne jako jeden muž.

¹²And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, What wickedness is this that is done among you?

¹²A pokolenia Izraelove vyslaly mužov do všetkých pokolení Benjaminových s odkazom: Aký je to zlý skutok, ktorý sa stal medzi vami?

¹³Now therefore deliver us the men, the children of Belial, which are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel. But the children of Benjamin would not hearken to the voice of their brethren the children of Israel.

¹³Preto teraz vydajte mužov, synov beliála, ktorí sú v Gibei, aby sme ich zabili a odpraceme zlé z Izraela. Ale synovia Benjaminovi nechceli počuť hlas svojich bratov, synov Izraelových,

¹⁴But the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities unto Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel.

¹⁴lež synovia Benjaminovi sa shromaždili z miest do Gibee, aby vyšli do boja proti synom Izraelovým.

¹⁵And the children of Benjamin were numbered at that time out of the cities twenty and six thousand men that drew sword, beside the inhabitants of Gibeah, which were numbered seven hundred chosen men.

¹⁵A toho dňa bolo načítaných synov Benjaminových, ktorí boli z ich miest, dvadsaťšesť tisíc mužov, spôsobných tasiť mečom, krome obyvateľov mesta Gibee, ktorých bolo načítaných sedemsto vybraných mužov.

¹⁶Among all this people there were seven hundred chosen men lefthanded; every one could sling stones at an hair breadth, and not miss.

¹⁶Zo všetkého toho ľudu bolo sedemsto vybraných mužov, neschopných používať svoju pravú ruku. Ale tí všetci hádzali kamene z praku navlas a nechybili.

¹⁷And the men of Israel, beside Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men that drew sword: all these were men of war.

¹⁷A mužov Izraelových bolo načítaných krome z Benjamina: štyristo tisíc mužov, súcich tasiť mečom; to všetko boli bojovní mužovia.

¹⁸And the children of Israel arose, and went up to the house of God, and asked counsel of God, and said, Which of us shall go up first to the battle against the children of Benjamin? And the LORD said, Judah shall go up first.

¹⁸A vstanúc odišli hore do Bét-ela a pýtali sa Boha a povedali synovia Izraelovi: Kto nám pojde najprv hore do boja so synmi Benjaminovými? A Hospodin riekol: Júda pojde najprv.

¹⁹And the children of Israel rose up in the morning, and encamped against Gibeah.

¹⁹Vtedy vstali synovia Izraelovi ráno a položili sa táborom proti Gibei.

²⁰And the men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin; and the men of Israel put themselves in array to fight against them at Gibeah.

²⁰A tak vyšli mužovia Izraelovi do boja proti Benjaminovi. A mužovia Izraelovi zriadili sa do boja s nimi pri Gibei.

²¹And the children of Benjamin came forth out of Gibeah, and destroyed down to the ground of the Israelites that day twenty and two thousand men.

²¹Ale synovia Benjaminovi vyjdúc z Gibee porazili toho dňa z Izraela dvadsaťdva tisíc mužov na zem.

²²And the people the men of Israel encouraged themselves, and set their battle again in array in the place where they put themselves in array the first day.

²²No, ľud sa vzmužil, mužovia Izraelovi, a znova sa zriadili do boja na mieste, na ktorom sa boli zriadili prvého dňa.

²³(And the children of Israel went up and wept before the LORD until even, and asked counsel of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up again to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother? And the LORD said, Go up against him.)

²³Ale prv odišli synovia Izraelovi hore a plakali pred Hospodinom až do večera a pýtali sa Hospodina a povedali: Či sa máme ešte priblížiť do boja proti synom Benjaminovým, proti svojmu bratovi? A Hospodin riekol: Iďte hore proti nemu.

²⁴And the children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin the second day.

²⁴A tedy sa priblížili synovia Izraelovi proti synom Benjaminovým aj druhého dňa.

²⁵And 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.

²⁵Ale synovia Benjaminovi vyjdúc oproti nim z Gibee druhého dňa zase porazili zo synov Izraelových osemnásť tisíc mužov na zem. To všetko boli mužovia spôsobní tasiť mečom.

²⁶Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came unto the house of God, and wept, and sat there before the LORD, and fasted that day until even, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.

²⁶Vtedy odišli všetci synovia Izraelovi i všetok ľud a prišli do Bét-ela a plačúc sedeli tam pred Hospodinom a postili sa toho dňa až do večera a obetovali zápalné obeti a pokojné obeti pred Hospodinom.

²⁷And the children of Israel inquired of the LORD, (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,

²⁷A synovia Izraelovi sa pýtali Hospodina (a bola tam truhla smluvy Božej v tie dni,

²⁸And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days,) saying, Shall I yet again go out to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease? And the LORD said, Go up; for to morrow I will deliver them into thine hand.

²⁸a Pinchas, syn Eleazára, syna Áronovho, stál pred ňou v tie dni) a povedali: Či máme ešte vyjsť do boja proti synom Benjaminovým, proti svojmu bratovi, a či máme nechať? A Hospodin riekol: Iďte hore, lebo zajtra ho dám do vašej ruky.

²⁹And Israel set liers in wait round about Gibeah.

²⁹Vtedy rozostavil Izrael úkladníkov proti Gibei dookola.

³⁰And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and put themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times.

³⁰A tedy vyšli synovia Izraelovi hore proti synom Benjaminovým tretieho dňa a zriadili sa proti Gibei jako oba razy predtým.

³¹And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to smite of the people, and kill, as at other times, in the highways, of which one goeth up to the house of God, and the other to Gibeah in the field, about thirty men of Israel.

³¹Keď potom vyšli synovia Benjaminovi oproti ľudu, boli odtrhnutí od mesta a začali biť z ľudu a zabíjať ako oba razy, na hradských, z ktorých jedna ide hore do Bét-ela a druhá do Gibee, na poli, a zabili okolo tridsiatich mužov z Izraela.

³²And the children of Benjamin said, They are smitten down before us, as at the first. But the children of Israel said, Let us flee, and draw them from the city unto the highways.

³²A synovia Benjaminovi povedali: Porazení sú pred nami jako prv. Ale synovia Izraelovi boli povedali: Utekajme a odtrhnime ich od mesta ku hradským.

³³And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and put themselves in array at Baaltamar: and the liers in wait of Israel came forth out of their places, even out of the meadows of Gibeah.

³³Tu vstali všetci mužovia Izraelovi zo svojho miesta a zriadili sa v Bál-támare. A úklad Izraelov sa vyrútil zo svojho stanoviska, s poľany Gibee.

³⁴And there came against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was sore: but they knew not that evil was near them.

³⁴A prišlo pred Gibeu desať tisíc vybraných mužov z celého Izraela. A boj bol zúrivý a ťažký. Ale oni nevedeli, že ide na nich zlé.

³⁵And the LORD smote Benjamin before Israel: and the children of Israel destroyed of the Benjamites that day twenty and five thousand and an hundred men: all these drew the sword.

³⁵A Hospodin porazil Benjamina pred Izraelom, a synovia Izraelovi zbili toho dňa z Benjamina dvadsaťpäť tisíc a sto mužov. To všetko boli mužovia súci tasiť mečom.

³⁶So the children of Benjamin saw that they were smitten: for the men of Israel gave place to the Benjamites, because they trusted unto the liers in wait which they had set beside Gibeah.

³⁶Vtedy videli synovia Benjaminovi, že sú porazení. A mužovia Izraelovi dali Benjaminovi miesto, lebo sa nadejali na úklad, ktorý boli položili proti Gibei.

³⁷And the liers in wait hasted, and rushed upon Gibeah; and the liers in wait drew themselves along, and smote all the city with the edge of the sword.

³⁷A tí, ktorí úkladili, poponáhľali sa a vrhli sa na Gibeu, a úklad tiahol mestom a pobil celé mesto ostrím meča.

³⁸Now there was an appointed sign between the men of Israel and the liers in wait, that they should make a great flame with smoke rise up out of the city.

³⁸A mužovia Izraelovi mali dohovorené znamenie s úkladom, totiž aby spôsobili to, že by vystupovalo veľké množstvo dymu z mesta.

³⁹And when the men of Israel retired in the battle, Benjamin began to smite and kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons: for they said, Surely they are smitten down before us, as in the first battle.

³⁹A tedy mužovia Izraelovi sa obrátili v boji, a Benjamin bol začal biť a zabil okolo tridsiatich mužov z mužov Izraelových, lebo vraveli: Je isté že je porazený pred nami jako v prvej bitke.

⁴⁰But when the flame began to arise up out of the city with a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them, and, behold, the flame of the city ascended up to heaven.

⁴⁰Ale z mesta začala vystupovať ťažká kúrňava, stĺp dymu. A keď sa obzrel Benjamin, videl, že hľa, celé mesto vystupovalo v dyme hore do neba.

⁴¹And when the men of Israel turned again, the men of Benjamin were amazed: for they saw that evil was come upon them.

⁴¹Vtedy sa obrátili mužovia Izraelovi, a mužovia Benjaminovi sa predesili, lebo videli, že prišlo na nich zlé.

⁴²Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel unto the way of the wilderness; but the battle overtook them; and them which came out of the cities they destroyed in the midst of them.

⁴²A obrátiac sa utekali pred mužmi Izraelovými na cestu k púšti, ale boj ich stále doháňal, a tí, ktorí boli prišli z miest, porážali ich medzi sebou.

⁴³Thus they inclosed the Benjamites round about, and chased them, and trode them down with ease over against Gibeah toward the sunrising.

⁴³Obkľúčili Benjamina, honili ho, šliapali po ňom až do Menúchy, až pred Gibeu od východu slnca.

⁴⁴And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men; all these were men of valor.

⁴⁴A padlo z Benjamina osemnásť tisíc mužov, a boli to všetko silní mužovia.

⁴⁵And they turned and fled toward the wilderness unto the rock of Rimmon: and they gleaned of them in the highways five thousand men; and pursued hard after them unto Gidom, and slew two thousand men of them.

⁴⁵A obrátiac sa utekali na púšť ku skale Rimmon. A po hradských pobili z nich, ako paberky, päť tisíc mužov a stíhali ich ženúc sa tesne za nimi až po Gidom a pobili z nich ešte dva tisíce mužov.

⁴⁶So that all which fell that day of Benjamin were twenty and five thousand men that drew the sword; all these were men of valor.

⁴⁶A tak bolo všetkých, ktorí padli z Benjamina toho dňa, dvadsaťpäť tisíc mužov, spôsobných tasiť mečom, a to všetko boli silní mužovia.

⁴⁷But six hundred men turned and fled to the wilderness unto the rock Rimmon, and abode in the rock Rimmon four months.

⁴⁷Ale šesťsto mužov sa obrátilo a utieklo na púšť ku skale Rimmon, a bývali v skale Rimmon štyri mesiace.

⁴⁸And the men of Israel turned again upon the children of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, as well the men of every city, as the beast, and all that came to hand: also they set on fire all the cities that they came to.

⁴⁸A mužovia Izraelovi sa vrátili k synom Benjaminovým a pobili ich ostrím meča, pobili z mesta všetko od ľudí až po hovädá, i všetko, čo sa našlo, i všetky mestá, ktoré sa našly, podpálili.
