Judges 20
1 Then all the Israelites from Dan to Beersheba and from the land of Gilead came out, and the congregation assembled as one man before the LORD at Mizpah.
Tada izidoše svi sinovi Izrailjevi, i sabra se sav narod jednodušno, od Dana do Virsaveje i do zemlje Galadove, ka Gospodu u Mispu.
2 The leaders of all the people and all the tribes of Israel presented themselves in the assembly of God’s people: 400,000 men on foot, armed with swords.
I glavari svega naroda, svijeh plemena Izrailjevijeh, doðoše na zbor naroda Božijega, èetiri stotine tisuæa ljudi pješaka koji mahahu maèem.
3 (Meanwhile the Benjamites heard that the Israelites had gone up to Mizpah.) And the Israelites asked, “Tell us, how did this wicked thing happen?”
A sinovi Venijaminovi èuše da su sinovi Izrailjevi otišli u Mispu. Sinovi Izrailjevi rekoše: kažite kako se dogodilo to zlo.
4 So the Levite, the husband of the murdered woman, answered: “I and my concubine came to Gibeah in Benjamin to spend the night.
A Levit, muž ubijene žene, odgovori i reèe: doðoh s inoèom svojom u Gavaju Venijaminovu da prenoæim.
5 And during the night, the men of Gibeah rose up against me and surrounded the house. They intended to kill me, but they abused my concubine, and she died.
A Gavajani ustaše na me, opkoliše me u kuæi noæu, i htješe me ubiti; i inoèu moju zlostaviše tako da umrije.
6 Then I took my concubine, cut her into pieces, and sent her throughout the land of Israel’s inheritance, because they had committed a lewd and disgraceful act in Israel.
Zato uzev inoèu svoju isjekoh je na komade i razaslah je u sve krajeve našljedstva Izrailjeva; jer uèiniše grdilo i sramotu u Izrailju.
7 Behold, all you Israelites, give your advice and verdict here and now.”
Eto, vi ste svi sinovi Izrailjevi; promislite i vijeæajte.
8 Then all the people stood as one man and said, “Not one of us will return to his tent or to his house.
A sav narod usta jednodušno i reèe: da ne idemo nijedan k šatoru svojemu, i nijedan da se ne vraæa kuæi svojoj.
9 Now this is what we will do to Gibeah: We will go against it as the lot dictates.
Nego ovo da uèinimo Gavaji: da bacimo ždrijeb za nju.
10 We will take ten men out of every hundred from all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred out of every thousand, and a thousand out of every ten thousand, to supply provisions for the army when they go to Gibeah in Benjamin to punish them for the atrocity they have committed in Israel.”
Da uzmemo po deset ljudi od stotine po svijem plemenima Izrailjevijem, i po stotinu od tisuæe, i po tisuæu od deset tisuæa, da donese hranu narodu, a on da ide da uèini Gavaji Venijaminovoj kako je zaslužila grdilom koje je uèinila Izrailju.
11 So all the men of Israel gathered as one man, united against the city.
I skupi se sav narod Izrailjev na onaj grad složivši se jednodušno.
12 And the tribes of Israel sent men throughout the tribe of Benjamin, saying, “What is this wickedness that has occurred among you?
Tada poslaše plemena Izrailjeva ljude u sve porodice Venijaminove, i poruèiše im: kakvo se to zlo uèini meðu vama?
13 Hand over the wicked men of Gibeah so we can put them to death and purge Israel of this evil.” But the Benjamites refused to heed the voice of their fellow Israelites.
Sada dajte te bezakonike što su u Gavaji, da ih pogubimo i izvadimo zlo iz Izrailja. Ali ne htješe sinovi Venijaminovi poslušati braæe svoje, sinova Izrailjevijeh.
14 And from their cities they came together at Gibeah to go out and fight against the Israelites.
Nego se skupiše sinovi Venijaminovi iz svojih mjesta u Gavaju da izidu da se biju sa sinovima Izrailjevijem.
15 On that day the Benjamites mobilized 26,000 swordsmen from their cities, in addition to the 700 select men of Gibeah.
I nabroji se u to vrijeme sinova Venijaminovijeh iz njihovijeh gradova dvadeset i šest tisuæa ljudi koji mahahu maèem osim stanovnika Gavajskih, kojih bješe na broj sedam stotina ljudi odabranijeh.
16 Among all these soldiers there were 700 select left-handers, each of whom could sling a stone at a hair without missing.
U svem tom narodu bješe sedam stotina ljudi odabranijeh, koji bjehu ljevaci, i svaki gaðaše kamenom iz praæke u dlaku ne promašujuæi.
17 The Israelites, apart from Benjamin, mobilized 400,000 swordsmen, each one an experienced warrior.
A ljudi Izrailjaca nabroji se osim sinova Venijaminovijeh èetiri stotine tisuæa ljudi koji mahahu maèem, samijeh vojnika.
18 The Israelites set out, went up to Bethel, and inquired of God, “Who of us shall go up first to fight against the Benjamites?” “Judah will be first,” the LORD replied.
I ustavši otidoše k domu Boga silnoga, i upitaše Boga i rekoše sinovi Izrailjevi: ko æe izmeðu nas iæi prvi u boj na sinove Venijaminove? A Gospod reèe: Juda nek ide prvi.
19 The next morning the Israelites set out and camped near Gibeah.
Potom ustavši rano sinovi Izrailjevi stadoše u oko prema Gavaji.
20 And the men of Israel went out to fight against Benjamin and took up their battle positions at Gibeah.
I izidoše sinovi Izrailjevi u boj na sinove Venijaminove, i uvrstaše se sinovi Izrailjevi da udare na Gavaju.
21 And the Benjamites came out of Gibeah and cut down 22,000 Israelites on the battlefield that day.
A sinovi Venijaminovi izidoše iz Gavaje, i povaljaše po zemlji izmeðu Izrailjaca u onaj dan dvadeset i dvije tisuæe ljudi.
22 But the Israelite army took courage and again took their battle positions in the same place where they had arrayed themselves on the first day.
Ali se narod sinova Izrailjevijeh oslobodi, te se opet uvrstaše na istom mjestu gdje se bijahu uvrstali prvoga dana.
23 They went up and wept before the LORD until evening, inquiring of Him, “Should we again draw near for battle against our brothers the Benjamites?” And the LORD answered, “Go up against them.”
Jer sinovi Izrailjevi otidoše te plakaše pred Gospodom do veèera, i upitaše Gospoda govoreæi: hoæemo li opet izaæi u boj na sinove Venijamina brata svojega? A Gospod im reèe: izidite na njih.
24 On the second day the Israelites advanced against the Benjamites.
I izidoše sinovi Izrailjevi na sinove Venijaminove drugi dan.
25 That same day the Benjamites came out against them from Gibeah and cut down another 18,000 Israelites, all of them armed with swords.
I sinovi Venijaminovi izidoše pred njih iz Gavaje drugi dan; i povaljaše po zemlji izmeðu sinova Izrailjevijeh opet osamnaest tisuæa ljudi, koji svi mahahu maèem.
26 Then the Israelites, all the people, went up to Bethel, where they sat weeping before the LORD. That day they fasted until evening and presented burnt offerings and peace offerings to the LORD.
Tada svi sinovi Izrailjevi i sav narod izidoše i doðoše k domu Boga silnoga, i plakaše i stajaše ondje pred Gospodom, i postiše se onaj dan do veèera, i prinesoše žrtve paljenice i žrtve zahvalne pred Gospodom.
27 And the Israelites inquired of the LORD. (In those days the ark of the covenant of God was there,
Pa upitaše sinovi Izrailjevi Gospoda; jer ondje bijaše kovèeg zavjeta Božijega u ono vrijeme;
28 and Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, served before it.) The Israelites asked, “Should we again go out to battle against our brothers the Benjamites, or should we stop?” The LORD answered, “Fight, for tomorrow I will deliver them into your hand.”
I Fines sin Eleazara sina Aronova stajaše pred njim u ono vrijeme. I rekoše: hoæemo li opet izaæi u boj na sinove Venijamina brata svojega ili æemo se okaniti? A Gospod im reèe: izidite, jer æu ih sjutra predati vama u ruke.
29 So Israel set up an ambush around Gibeah.
Tada namjesti Izrailj zasjede oko Gavaje.
30 On the third day the Israelites went up against the Benjamites and arrayed themselves against Gibeah as they had done before.
I sinovi Izrailjevi izidoše treæi dan na sinove Venijaminove, i uvrstaše se prema Gavaji kao prvom i drugom.
31 The Benjamites came out against them and were drawn away from the city. They began to attack the people as before, killing about thirty men of Israel in the fields and on the roads, one of which led up to Bethel and the other to Gibeah.
A sinovi Venijaminovi izašavši pred narod odvojiše se od grada, i stadoše biti i sjeæi narod kao prvom i drugom po putovima, od kojih jedan ide k domu Boga silnoga a drugi u Gavaju, i po polju, i ubiše do trideset ljudi iz Izrailja.
32 “We are defeating them as before,” said the Benjamites. But the Israelites said, “Let us retreat and draw them away from the city onto the roads.”
I rekoše sinovi Venijaminovi: padaju pred nama kao prije. A sinovi Izrailjevi rekoše: da bježimo da ih otrgnemo od grada na putove.
33 So all the men of Israel got up from their places and arrayed themselves at Baal-tamar, and the Israelites in ambush charged from their positions west of Gibeah.
Tada svi sinovi Izrailjevi kretoše se sa svojega mjesta i uvrstaše se u Val-Tamaru; i zasjede Izrailjeve iskoèiše iz mjesta svojega, iz luka Gavajskih.
34 Then 10,000 select men from all Israel made a frontal assault against Gibeah, and the battle was fierce. But the Benjamites did not realize that disaster was upon them.
I doðe na Gavaju deset tisuæa ljudi izabranijeh iz svega Izrailja, i boj posta žešæi, a oni ne opaziše da æe ih zlo zadesiti.
35 The LORD defeated Benjamin in the presence of Israel, and on that day the Israelites slaughtered 25,100 Benjamites, all armed with swords.
I Gospod pobi Venijamina pred Izrailjem, i sinovi Izrailjevi pogubiše onaj dan od sinova Venijaminovijeh dvadeset i pet tisuæa i sto ljudi, koji svi maèem mahahu.
36 Then the Benjamites realized they had been defeated. Now the men of Israel had retreated before Benjamin because they were relying on the ambush they had set against Gibeah.
I sinovi Venijaminovi vidješe da su nadbijeni: jer sinovi Izrailjevi uzmakoše ispred sinova Venijaminovijeh uzdajuæi se u zasjede koje bijahu namjestili kod Gavaje;
37 The men in ambush rushed suddenly against Gibeah; they advanced and put the whole city to the sword.
A oni što bijahu u zasjedi navališe brže u Gavaju, i ušavši isjekoše sve po gradu oštrijem maèem.
38 The men of Israel had arranged a signal with the men in ambush: When they sent up a great cloud of smoke from the city,
A bijahu sinovi Izrailjevi ugovorili s onima u zasjedi da za znak zapale vatru da se digne velik dim iz grada.
39 the men of Israel would turn in the battle. When the Benjamites had begun to strike them down, killing about thirty men of Israel, they said, “They are defeated before us as in the first battle.”
Tako sinovi Izrailjevi stadoše bježati iz boja, a sinovi Venijaminovi poèeše ubijati, i isjekoše do trideset ljudi izmeðu sinova Izrailjevijeh govoreæi: doista padaju pred nama kao u preðašnjem boju.
40 But when the column of smoke began to go up from the city, the Benjamites looked behind them and saw the whole city going up in smoke.
Ali kad se plamen i dim kao stup diže iz grada, obazreše se sinovi Venijaminovi, i gle, oganj se iz grada dizaše do neba.
41 Then the men of Israel turned back on them, and the men of Benjamin were terrified when they realized that disaster had come upon them.
Tada se vratiše sinovi Izrailjevi, a sinovi Venijaminovi smetoše se videæi da ih je zlo zadesilo;
42 So they fled before the men of Israel toward the wilderness, but the battle overtook them, and the men coming out of the cities struck them down there.
I pobjegoše ispred sinova Izrailjevijeh k pustinji; ali ih vojska gonjaše, i koji iz gradova izlažahu, biše ih meðu sobom.
43 They surrounded the Benjamites, pursued them, and easily overtook them in the vicinity of Gibeah on the east.
Tako opkoliše sinove Venijaminove, goniše ih, tlaèiše ih od Menuje do Gavaje k istoku.
44 And 18,000 Benjamites fell, all men of valor.
I pogibe sinova Venijaminovijeh osamnaest tisuæa ljudi, samijeh junaka.
45 Then the Benjamites turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, and Israel cut down 5,000 men on the roads. And they overtook them at Gidom and struck down 2,000 more.
A onijeh što se okretoše i pobjegoše u pustinju k stijeni Rimonu, napabirèiše ih po putovima pet tisuæa ljudi, i tjeraše ih do Gidoma i pobiše ih dvije tisuæe ljudi.
46 That day 25,000 Benjamite swordsmen fell, all men of valor.
I tako svega pogibe onaj dan sinova Venijaminovijeh dvadeset i pet tisuæa ljudi koji mahahu maèem, sve samijeh junaka.
47 But 600 men turned and fled into the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, where they stayed four months.
I bješe šest stotina ljudi koji se okretoše i utekoše u pustinju k stijeni Rimonu, i ostaše na stijeni Rimonu èetiri mjeseca.
48 And the men of Israel turned back against the other Benjamites and put to the sword all the cities, including the animals and everything else they found. And they burned down all the cities in their path.
Potom sinovi Izrailjevi vrativši se k sinovima Venijaminovijem isjekoše oštrijem maèem i ljude po gradovima i stoku i što se god naðe; i sve gradove koji ostaše popališe ognjem.
