Judges 3
1 Now these are the nations which Jehovah left to prove Israel by them, (even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan,
А ово су народи које остави Господ да њима куша Израиљ, све оне који не знаху за ратове хананске,
2 only that the generations of the sons of Israel might know, to teach them war, at least to such as formerly knew nothing of that):
Да би барем наслеђе синова Израиљевих знало и разумело шта је рат, барем они који од пре нису знали:
3 namely, the five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baal-hermon to the entrance of Hamath.
Пет кнежевина филистејских, и сви Хананеји и Сидонци и Јевеји, који живљаху на гори Ливану од горе Вал-Ермона до Емата.
4 And they were left, to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken to the commandments of Jehovah, which he commanded their fathers by Moses.
Ти народи осташе да се Израиљ њима куша, да се види хоће ли слушати заповести Господње, које је заповедио оцима њиховим преко Мојсија.
5 And the sons of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
И живљаху синови Израиљеви усред Хананеја и Хетеја и Амореја и Ферезеја и Јевеја и Јевусеја.
6 And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their own daughters to their sons and served their gods.
И жењаху се кћерима њиховим и удаваху кћери своје за синове њихове, и служаху боговима њиховим.
7 And the sons of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and forgot Jehovah their God, and served the Baalim and the Asheroth.
И чињаху синови Израиљеви што је зло пред Господом, и заборавише Господа Бога свог и служаху Валима и луговима.
8 Therefore the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Cushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia, And the sons of Israel served Cushan-rishathaim eight years.
Зато се разгневи Господ на Израиља, и даде их у руке Хусан-Рисатајиму цару месопотамском; и служаше синови Израиљеви Хусан-Рисатајиму осам година.
9 And when the sons of Israel cried to Jehovah, Jehovah raised up a savior to the sons of Israel, who saved them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.
Потом вапише синови Израиљеви ка Господу, и подиже Господ избавитеља синовима Израиљевим да их избави, Готонила сина Кенезовог, млађег брата Халевовог,
10 And the Spirit of Jehovah came upon him, and he judged Israel. And he went out to war, and Jehovah delivered Cushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand, and his hand prevailed against Cushan-rishathaim.
И беше на њему дух Господњи, и суђаше Израиљу; и изиђе на војску, и предаде му Господ у руке Хусан-Рисатајима цара месопотамског; и рука његова надјача Хусан-Рисатајима.
11 And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
И земља би мирна четрдесет година. Потом умре Готонило син Кенезов.
12 And the sons of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah. And Jehovah strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel because they had done that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah.
А синови Израиљеви стадоше опет чинити што је зло пред Господом; а Господ укрепи Еглона цара моавског на Израиља, јер чињаху што је зло пред Господом.
13 And he gathered to him the sons of Ammon and Amalek, and he went and smote Israel, and they possessed the city of palm trees.
Јер скупи к себи синове Амонове и Амалике, и изашавши поби Израиља, и освојише град палмов.
14 And the sons of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
И синови Израиљеви служише Еглону цару моавском осамнаест година.
15 But when the sons of Israel cried to Jehovah, Jehovah raised up for them a savior, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a left-handed man. And the sons of Israel sent tribute by him to Eglon the king of Moab.
Потом вапише синови Израиљеви ка Господу; и Господ им подиже избавитеља Аода сина Гире сина Венијаминовог, човека који беше левак. И послаше синови Израиљеви по њему дар Еглону цару моавском.
16 And Ehud made for himself a sword which had two edges, a cubit in length. And he girded it under his raiment upon his right thigh.
А Аод начини себи мач са обе стране оштар, од лакта у дужину; и припаса га под хаљине своје уз десну бедрицу.
17 And he offered the tribute to Eglon king of Moab. Now Eglon was a very fat man.
И однесе дар Еглону цару моавском; а Еглон беше човек врло дебео.
18 And when he had made an end of offering the tribute, he sent away the men who bore the tribute.
И кад предаде дар, отпусти људе који су носили дар.
19 But he himself turned back from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand to thee, O king. And he said, Keep silence. And all who stood by him went out from him.
Па сам врати се од ликова камених, који беху код Галгала, рече: Имам, царе, неку тајну да ти кажем. А он рече: Ћути! И отидоше од њега сви који стајаху пред њим.
20 And Ehud came to him. And he was sitting by himself alone in the cool upper room. And Ehud said, I have a message from God to thee. And he arose out of his seat.
А Аод приступи к њему; а он сеђаше сам у летњој соби; па рече Аод: Реч Божју имам да ти кажем. Тада он уста с престола.
21 And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his body.
А Аод потеже левом руком својом и узе мач од десне бедрице и сатера му га у трбух,
22 And the handle also went in after the blade, and the fat closed upon the blade, for he did not draw the sword out of his body, and it came out behind.
И држак уђе за мачем, и сало се склопи за мачем, те не може извући мача из трбуха; и изиђе нечист.
23 Then Ehud went forth into the porch, and shut the doors of the upper room upon him, and locked them.
Потом изиђе Аод из собе, и затвори врата за собом и закључа.
24 Now when he was gone out, his servants came, and they saw, and, behold, the doors of the upper room were locked. And they said, Surely he is covering his feet in the upper chamber.
А кад он отиде, дођоше слуге, и погледаше, а то врата од собе закључана, па рекоше: Ваљда иде напоље у клети до летње собе.
25 And they delayed till they were ashamed, and, behold, he did not open the doors of the upper room. Therefore they took the key, and opened, and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth.
И већ им се досади чекати а врата се од собе не отварају, те узеше кључ и отворише, а гле, господар им лежи на земљи мртав.
26 And Ehud escaped while they delayed, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped to Seirah.
А Аод докле се они забавише побеже и прође ликове камене, и утече у Сериот.
27 And it came to pass, when he came, that he blew a trumpet in the hill-country of Ephraim. And the sons of Israel went down with him from the hill-country, and he before them.
А кад дође, затруби у трубу у гори Јефремовој; и сиђоше с њим синови Израиљеви с горе, а он напред.
28 And he said to them, Follow after me, for Jehovah has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites, and did not allow a man to pass over.
Па им рече: Хајдете за мном, јер Господ предаде вам у руке непријатеље ваше Моавце. И сиђоше за њим, и узеше Моавцима бродове јорданске, и не даваху никоме прећи.
29 And they smote about ten thousand men of Moab at that time, every robust man, and every man of valor, and there escaped not a man.
И тада побише Моавце, око десет хиљада људи, све богате и храбре, и ни један не утече.
30 So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest eighty years.
Тако у тај дан потпадоше Моавци под руку Израиљеву; и земља би мирна осамдесет година.
31 And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who smote six hundred men of the Philistines with an ox-goad, and he also saved Israel.
А после њега наста Самегар син Анатов, и поби шест стотина Филистеја останом волујским, и избави и он Израиља.
