Judges 11
1 Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a great man of war; he was the son of a loose woman, and Gilead was his father.
A Jeftaj od Galada bijaše hrabar junak, ali sin jedne kurve, s kojom Galad rodi Jeftaja.
2 And Gilead's wife gave birth to sons, and when her sons became men, they sent Jephthah away, saying, You have no part in the heritage of our father's house, for you are the son of another woman.
Ali Galadu i žena njegova rodi sinova, pa kad dorastoše sinovi te žene, otjeraše Jeftaja rekavši mu: neæeš imati našljedstva u domu oca našega, jer si sin druge žene.
3 So Jephthah went in flight from his brothers and was living in the land of Tob, where a number of good-for-nothing men, joining Jephthah, went out with him on his undertakings.
Zato pobježe Jeftaj od braæe svoje, i nastani se u zemlji Tovu; i stekoše se k njemu ljudi praznovi, i iðahu s njim.
4 Now after a time the children of Ammon made war against Israel.
A poslije nekoga vremena zavojštiše sinovi Amonovi na Izrailja;
5 And when the children of Ammon made war against Israel, the responsible men of Gilead went to get Jephthah back from the land of Tob;
I kad zavojštiše sinovi Amonovi na Izrailja, otidoše starješine Galadske da dovedu Jeftaja iz zemlje Tova.
6 And they said to Jephthah, Come and be our chief so that we may make war against the children of Ammon.
I rekoše Jeftaju: hodi i budi nam vojvoda, da vojujemo sa sinovima Amonovijem.
7 But Jephthah said to the responsible men of Gilead, Did you not, in your hate for me, send me away from my father's house? Why do you come to me now when you are in trouble?
A Jeftaj reèe starješinama Galadskim: ne mrzite li vi na me, i ne istjeraste li me iz doma oca mojega? Što ste dakle došli k meni sada kad ste u nevolji?
8 And the responsible men of Gilead said to Jephthah, That is the reason we have come back to you; so go with us and make war against the children of Ammon, and we will make you our head over all the people of Gilead.
A starješine Galadske rekoše Jeftaju: zato smo sada došli opet k tebi da poðeš s nama i da vojuješ sa sinovima Amonovijem i da nam budeš poglavar svjema koji živimo u Galadu.
9 Then Jephthah said to the responsible men of Gilead, If you take me back to make war against the children of Ammon, and if with the help of the Lord I overcome them, will you make me your head?
A Jeftaj reèe starješinama Galadskim: kad hoæete da me odvedete natrag da vojujem sa sinovima Amonovijem, ako mi ih da Gospod, hoæu li vam biti poglavar?
10 And the responsible men of Gilead said to Jephthah, May the Lord be our witness: we will certainly do as you say.
A starješine Galadske rekoše Jeftaju: Gospod neka bude svjedok meðu nama, ako ne uèinimo kako si kazao.
11 So Jephthah went with the responsible men of Gilead, and the people made him head and chief over them; and Jephthah said all these things before the Lord in Mizpah.
Tada otide Jeftaj sa starješinama Galadskim, i narod ga postavi poglavarem i vojvodom nad sobom; i Jeftaj izgovori pred Gospodom u Mispi sve rijeèi koje bješe rekao.
12 Then Jephthah sent men to the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What have you against me that you have come to make war against my land?
Potom posla Jeftaj poslanike k caru sinova Amonovijeh, i poruèi: šta imaš ti sa mnom, te si došao k meni da ratuješ po mojoj zemlji?
13 And the king of the children of Ammon said to the men sent by Jephthah, Because Israel, when he came up out of Egypt, took away my land, from the Arnon as far as the Jabbok and as far as Jordan: so now, give me back those lands quietly.
A car sinova Amonovijeh reèe poslanicima Jeftajevim: što je uzeo Izrailj moju zemlju kad doðe iz Misira, od Arnona do Javoka i do Jordana; sada dakle vrati mi je s mirom.
14 And Jephthah sent again to the king of the children of Ammon,
Ali Jeftaj posla opet poslanike k caru sinova Amonovijeh,
15 And said to him, This is the word of Jephthah: Israel did not take away the land of Moab or the land of the children of Ammon;
I poruèi mu: ovako veli Jeftaj: nije uzeo Izrailj zemlje Moavske ni zemlje sinova Amonovijeh.
16 But when they came up from Egypt, Israel went through the waste land to the Red Sea and came to Kadesh;
Nego izašavši iz Misira prijeðe Izrailj preko pustinje do Crvenoga Mora i doðe do Kadisa.
17 Then Israel sent men to the king of Edom saying, Let me now go through your land; but the king of Edom did not give ear to them. And in the same way he sent to the king of Moab, but he would not; so Israel went on living in Kadesh.
I posla Izrailj poslanike k caru Edomskomu i reèe: pusti da proðem kroz tvoju zemlju. Ali ne posluša car Edomski. Posla takoðe k caru Moavskomu; ali ni on ne htje. I tako staja Izrailj u Kadisu.
18 Then he went on through the waste land and round the land of Edom and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab, and put up their tents on the other side of the Arnon; they did not come inside the limit of Moab, for the Arnon was the limit of Moab.
Potom iduæi preko pustinje obide zemlju Edomsku i zemlju Moavsku, i došavši s istoka zemlji Moavskoj stade u oko s onu stranu Arnona; ali ne prijeðoše preko meðe Moavske, jer Arnon bješe meða Moavska.
19 And Israel sent men to Sihon, king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said to him, Let me now go through your land to my place.
Nego posla Izrailj poslanike k Sionu caru Amorejskomu, caru Esevonskomu, i reèe mu Izrailj: dopusti nam da proðemo kroz tvoju zemlju do svojega mjesta.
20 But Sihon would not give way and let Israel go through his land; and Sihon got together all his people, and put his army in position in Jahaz, and made war on Israel.
Ali Sion ne vjerova Izrailju da ga pusti da prijeðe preko meðe njegove, nego Sion skupi sav svoj narod i stadoše u oko u Jasi, i pobi se s Izrailjem.
21 And the Lord, the God of Israel, gave Sihon and all his people into the hands of Israel, and they overcame them; so all the land of the Amorites, the people of that land, became Israel's.
A Gospod Bog Izrailjev predade Siona i sav narod njegov u ruke sinovima Izrailjevijem, te ih pobiše; i zadobi Izrailj svu zemlju Amoreja, koji življahu u onoj zemlji.
22 All the limit of the Amorites was theirs, from the Arnon as far as the Jabbok and from the waste land even to Jordan.
Zadobiše svu zemlju Amorejsku od Arnona do Javoka, i od pustinje do Jordana.
23 So now the Lord, the God of Israel, has taken away their land from the Amorites and given it to his people Israel; are you then to have it?
Tako je dakle Gospod Bog Izrailjev otjerao Amoreje ispred naroda svojega Izrailja, pa ti li hoæeš da je zemlja njihova tvoja?
24 Do you not keep the lands of those whom Chemosh your god sends out from before you? So we will keep all the lands of those whom the Lord our God sends out from before us.
Nije li tvoje ono što ti da da je tvoje Hemos bog tvoj? tako koga god Gospod Bog naš otjera ispred nas, onoga je zemlja naša.
25 What! are you any better than Balak, the son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he ever take up a cause against Israel or make war against them?
Ili si ti po èem bolji od Valaka sina Seforova cara Moavskoga? Je li se on kad svaðao s Izrailjem? Je li kad vojevao s nama?
26 While Israel was living in Heshbon and its daughter-towns and in Aroer and its daughter-towns and in all the towns which are by the side of the Arnon, for three hundred years, why did you not get them back at that time?
Izrailj živi u Esevonu i u selima njegovijem i u Aroiru i selima njegovijem i po svijem gradovima duž Arnona tri stotine godina; zašto ne oteste za toliko vremena?
27 So I have done no wrong against you, but you are doing wrong to me in fighting against me: may the Lord, who is Judge this day, be judge between the children of Israel and the children of Ammon.
I tako nijesam ja tebi skrivio, nego ti meni èiniš zlo ratujuæi na me. Gospod sudija nek sudi danas izmeðu sinova Izrailjevijeh i sinova Amonovijeh.
28 The king of the children of Ammon, however, did not give ear to the words which Jephthah sent to him.
Ali car sinova Amonovijeh ne posluša rijeèi koje mu poruèi Jeftaj.
29 Then the spirit of the Lord came on Jephthah, and he went through Gilead and Manasseh, and came to Mizpeh of Gilead; and from Mizpeh of Gilead he went over to the children of Ammon.
I siðe na Jeftaja duh Gospodnji, te proðe kroz Galad i kroz Manasiju, proðe i Mispu Galadsku, i od Mispe Galadske doðe do sinova Amonovijeh.
30 And Jephthah took an oath to the Lord, and said, If you will give the children of Ammon into my hands,
I zavjetova Jeftaj zavjet Gospodu i reèe: ako mi daš sinove Amonove u ruke,
31 Then whoever comes out from the door of my house, meeting me when I come back in peace from the children of Ammon, will be the Lord's and I will give him as a burned offering.
Što god izide na vrata iz kuæe moje na susret meni, kad se vratim zdrav od sinova Amonovijeh, biæe Gospodnje, i prinijeæu na žrtvu paljenicu.
32 So Jephthah went over to the children of Ammon to make war on them; and the Lord gave them into his hands.
I tako doðe Jeftaj do sinova Amonovijeh da se bije s njima; i Gospod mu ih dade u ruke.
33 And he made an attack on them from Aroer all the way to Minnith, overrunning twenty towns, as far as Abel-cheramim, and put great numbers to the sword. So the children of Ammon were crushed before the children of Israel.
I pobi ih od Aroira pa do Minita u dvadeset gradova i do ravnice vinogradske u boju vrlo velikom; i sinovi Amonovi biše pokoreni pred sinovima Izrailjevijem.
34 Then Jephthah came back to his house in Mizpah, and his daughter came out, meeting him on his way with music and with dances; she was his only child; he had no other sons or daughters.
A kad se vraæaše Jeftaj kuæi svojoj u Mispu, gle, kæi njegova izide mu na susret s bubnjima i sviralama; ona mu bijaše jedinica, i osim nje ne imaše ni sina ni kæeri.
35 And when he saw her he was overcome with grief, and said, Ah! my daughter! I am crushed with sorrow, and it is you who are the chief cause of my trouble; for I have made an oath to the Lord and I may not take it back.
Pa kad je ugleda, razdrije haljine svoje i reèe: ah kæeri moja! vele li me obori! ti si od onijeh što me cvijele; jer sam otvorio usta svoja ka Gospodu, i ne mogu poreæi.
36 And she said to him, My father, you have made an oath to the Lord; do then to me whatever you have said; for the Lord has sent a full reward on your haters, on the children of Ammon.
A ona mu reèe: oèe moj, kad si otvorio usta svoja ka Gospodu, uèini mi, kako je izašlo iz usta tvojih, kad te je Gospod osvetio od neprijatelja tvojih, sinova Amonovijeh.
37 Then she said to her father, Only do this for me: let me have two months to go away into the mountains with my friends, weeping for my sad fate.
Još reèe ocu svojemu: uèini mi ovo: ostavi me do dva mjeseca da otidem da se popnem na gore da oplaèem svoje djevojaštvo s drugama svojim.
38 And he said, Go then. So he sent her away for two months; and she went with her friends to the mountains, weeping for her sad fate.
A on joj reèe: idi. I pusti je na dva mjeseca, i ona otide s drugama svojim i oplakiva djevojaštvo svoje po gorama.
39 And at the end of two months she went back to her father, who did with her as he had said in his oath: and she had never been touched by a man. So it became a rule in Israel,
A kad proðoše dva mjeseca, vrati se k ocu svojemu, i on svrši na njoj zavjet svoj koji bješe zavjetovao. A ona ne pozna èovjeka. I posta obièaj u Izrailju
40 For the women to go year by year sorrowing for the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite, four days in every year.
Da od godine do godine idu kæeri Izrailjeve da plaèu za kæerju Jeftaja od Galada, èetiri dana u godini.
