Judges 20
1 And so all the sons of Israel went out like one man, from Dan to Beersheba, with the land of Gilead, and they gathered together, before the Lord, at Mizpah.
Тада изиђоше сви синови Израиљеви, и сабра се сав народ једнодушно, од Дана до Вирсавеје и до земље Галадове, ка Господу у Миспу.
2 And all the chiefs of the people, and every tribe of Israel, convened as an assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand foot soldiers for battle.
И главари свега народа, свих племена Израиљевих, дођоше на збор народа Божјег, четири стотине хиљада људи пешака који махаху мачем.
3 (But it was not hidden from the sons of Benjamin that the sons of Israel had ascended to Mizpah.) And the Levite, the husband of the woman who was killed, being questioned as to how so great a crime had been perpetrated,
А синови Венијаминови чуше да су синови Израиљеви отишли у Миспу. Синови Израиљеви рекоше: Кажите како се догодило то зло.
4 responded: “I went to Gibeah of Benjamin, with my wife, and I diverted to that place.
А Левит, муж убијене жене одговори и рече: Дођох с иночом својом у Гавају Венијаминову да преноћим.
5 And behold, the men of that city, at night, surrounded the house in which I was staying, intending to kill me. And they abused my wife with such an incredible fury of lust that in the end she died.
А Гавајани усташе на ме, опколише ме у кући ноћу, и хтеше ме убити; и иночу моју злоставише тако да умре.
6 And taking her up, I cut her into pieces, and I sent the parts into all the borders of your possession. For never before was such a nefarious crime, and so great a sin, committed in Israel.
Зато узевши иночу своју исекох је на комаде и разаслах је у све крајеве наследства Израиљевог; јер учинише грдило и срамоту у Израиљу.
7 You are all present here, O sons of Israel. Discern what you ought to do.”
Ето, ви сте сви синови Израиљеви; промислите и већајте.
8 And all the people, standing, responded as if with the word of one man: “We shall not return to our own tents, nor shall anyone enter into his own house.
А сав народ уста једнодушно и рече: Да не идемо ниједан к шатору свом, и ни један да се не враћа кући својој.
9 But this we shall do in common against Gibeah:
Него ово да учинимо Гаваји: Да бацимо жреб за њу.
10 We shall select ten men out of one hundred from all the tribes of Israel, and one hundred out of one thousand, and one thousand out of ten thousand, so that they may transport supplies for the army, and so that we will be able to fight against Gibeah of Benjamin, and to repay it for its crime as it deserves.”
Да узмемо по десет људи од стотине по свим племенима Израиљевим, и по стотину од хиљаде, и по хиљаду од десет хиљада, да донесе храну народу, а он да иде да учини Гаваји Венијаминовој како је заслужила грдилом које је учинила Израиљу.
11 And all of Israel convened against the city, like one man, with one mind and one counsel.
И скупи се сав народ Израиљев на онај град сложивши се једнодушно.
12 And they sent messengers to the entire tribe of Benjamin, who said: “Why has so great a wickedness been found among you?
Тада послаше племена Израиљева људе у све породице Венијаминове, и поручише им: Какво се то зло учини међу вама?
13 Deliver the men of Gibeah, who have perpetrated this deplorable act, so that they may die, and so that the evil may be taken away from Israel.” And they were not willing to listen to the command of their brothers, the sons of Israel.
Сада дајте те безаконике што су у Гаваји, да их погубимо и извадимо зло из Израиља. Али не хтеше синови Венијаминови послушати браћу своју, синове Израиљеве.
14 Instead, out of all the cities that were their lot, they convened at Gibeah, so that they might bring them assistance, and so that they might contend against the entire people of Israel.
Него се скупише синови Венијаминови из својих места у Гавају да изиђу да се бију са синовима Израиљевим.
15 And there were found from Benjamin twenty-five thousand who drew the sword, aside from the inhabitants of Gibeah,
И наброја се у то време синова Венијаминових из њихових градова двадесет и шест хиљада људи који махаху мачем осим становника гавајских, којих беше на број седам стотина људи одабраних.
16 who were seven hundred very strong men, fighting with the left hand as well as with the right hand, and casting stones from a sling so accurately that they were able to strike even a hair, and the path of the stone would by no means miss to either side.
У свем том народу беше седам стотина људи одабраних, који беху леваци, и сваки гађаше каменом из праћке у длаку не промашујући.
17 Then too, among the men of Israel apart from the sons of Benjamin, there were found four hundred thousand who drew the sword and who were prepared for battle.
А људи Израиљаца наброја се осим синова Венијаминових четири стотине хиљада људи који махаху мачем, самих војника.
18 And they rose up and went to the house of God, that is, to Shiloh. And they consulted God, and they said, “Who shall be, in our army, the first to contend against the sons of Benjamin?” And the Lord responded to them, “Let Judah be your leader.”
И уставши отидоше к дому Бога Силнога, и упиташе Бога и рекоше синови Израиљеви: Ко ће између нас ићи први у бој на синове Венијаминове? А Господ рече: Јуда нек иде први.
19 And immediately the sons of Israel, rising up in the morning, made camp near Gibeah.
Потом уставши рано синови Израиљеви стадоше у логор према Гаваји.
20 And setting out from there to fight against Benjamin, they began to assault the city.
И изиђоше синови Израиљеви у бој на синове Венијаминове, и уврсташе се синови Израиљеви да ударе на Гавају.
21 And the sons of Benjamin, departing from Gibeah, slew twenty-two thousand men from the sons of Israel, on that day.
А синови Венијаминови изиђоше из Гаваје, и поваљаше по земљи између Израиљаца у онај дан двадесет и две хиљаде људи.
22 Again the sons of Israel, trusting in both strength and number, set their troops in order, in the same place where they had contended before.
Али се народ синова Израиљевих ослободи, те се опет уврсташе на истом месту где се беху уврстали првог дана.
23 But first they also went up and wept before the Lord, even until night. And they consulted him and said, “Should I continue to go forth, so as to contend against the sons of Benjamin, my brothers, or not?” And he responded to them, “Ascend against them, and undertake the struggle.”
Јер синови Израиљеви отидоше те плакаше пред Господом до вечера, и упиташе Господа говорећи: Хоћемо ли опет изаћи у бој на синове Венијамина брата свог? А Господ им рече: Изиђите на њих.
24 And when the sons of Israel had continued to do battle against the sons of Benjamin on the next day,
И изиђоше синови Израиљеви на синове Венијаминове други дан.
25 the sons of Benjamin burst forth from the gates of Gibeah. And meeting them, they made such a frenzied slaughter against them that they struck down eighteen thousand men who drew the sword.
И синови Венијаминови изиђоше пред њих из Гаваје други дан; и поваљаше по земљи између синова Израиљевих опет осамнаест хиљада људи, који сви махаху мачем.
26 As a result, all the sons of Israel went to the house of God, and sitting down, they wept before the Lord. And they fasted that day until evening, and they offered to him holocausts and victims of peace offerings.
Тада сви синови Израиљеви и сав народ изиђоше и дођоше к дому Бога Силнога, и плакаше и стајаше онде пред Господом, и постише се онај дан до вечера, и принесоше жртве паљенице и жртве захвалне пред Господом.
27 And they inquired about their state. At that time, the ark of the covenant of the Lord was in that place.
Па упиташе синови Израиљеви Господа; јер онде беше ковчег завета Божјег у оно време;
28 And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, was the first ruler of the house. And so, they consulted the Lord, and they said, “Should we continue to go forth in battle against the sons of Benjamin, our brothers, or should we cease?” And the Lord said to them: “Ascend. For tomorrow, I will deliver them into your hands.”
И Финес син Елеазара сина Ароновог стајаше пред њим у оно време. И рекоше: Хоћемо ли опет изаћи у бој на синове Венијамина брата свог или ћемо се оканити? А Господ им рече: Изиђите, јер ћу их сутра предати вама у руке.
29 And the sons of Israel stationed ambushes around the city of Gibeah.
Тада намести Израиљ заседе око Гаваје.
30 And they brought out their army against Benjamin a third time, just as they had done on the first and second times.
И синови Израиљеви изиђоше трећи дан на синове Венијаминове, и уврсташе се према Гаваји као првом и другом.
31 But the sons of Benjamin again burst forth boldly from the city. And since their enemies were fleeing, they pursued them a long way, so that they might wound or kill some of them, just as they had done on the first and second days. And they turned their backs along two paths, one bringing them toward Bethel, and the other toward Gibeah. And they struck down about thirty men.
А синови Венијаминови изашавши пред народ одвојише се од града, и стадоше бити и сећи народ као првом и другом по путевима, од којих један иде к дому Бога Силнога а други у Гавају, и по пољу, и убише до тридесет људи из Израиља.
32 For they thought that they were falling back as they had done before. But instead, skillfully feigning flight, they undertook a plan to draw them away from the city, and by seeming to flee, to lead them along the above stated paths.
И рекоше синови Венијаминови: Падају пред нама као пре. А синови Израиљеви рекоше: Да бежимо да их отргнемо од града на путеве.
33 And so all the sons of Israel, rising up from their positions, set their troops in order, in the place which is called Baaltamar. Likewise, the ambushes that encircled the city began, little by little, to reveal themselves,
Тада сви синови Израиљеви кретоше се са свог места и уврсташе се у Вал-Тамару; и заседе Израиљеве искочише из места свог, из лука гавајских.
34 and to advance upon the western part of the city. Moreover, another ten thousand men from all of Israel were provoking a conflict with the inhabitants of the city. And the war grew heavy against the sons of Benjamin. And they did not realize that, on all sides of them, death was imminent.
И дође на Гавају десет хиљада људи изабраних из свега Израиља, и бој поста жешћи, а они не опазише да ће их зло задесити.
35 And the Lord struck them down in the sight of the sons of Israel, and they put to death, on that day, twenty-five thousand of them, along with one hundred men, all warriors and those who drew the sword.
И Господ поби Венијамина пред Израиљем, и синови Израиљеви погубише онај дан од синова Венијаминових двадесет и пет хиљада и сто људи, који сви мачем махаху.
36 But the sons of Benjamin, when they had seen themselves to be the weaker, began to flee. And the sons of Israel discerning this, gave them room to flee, so that they might arrive at the ambushes that were prepared, which they had positioned near the city.
И синови Венијаминови видеше да су надбијени: јер синови Израиљеви узмакоше испред синова Венијаминових уздајући се у заседе које беху наместили код Гаваје;
37 And after they had risen up suddenly from hiding, and those of Benjamin had turned their backs to those who cut them down, they entered the city, and they struck it with the edge of the sword.
А они што беху у заседи навалише брже у Гавају, и ушавши исекоше све по граду оштрим мачем.
38 Now the sons of Israel had given a sign to those whom they had stationed in ambushes, so that, after they had seized the city, they would light a fire, and by the smoke ascending on high, they would show that the city was captured.
А беху синови Израиљеви уговорили с онима у заседи да за знак запале ватру да се дигне велик дим из града.
39 And then, the sons of Israel discerned this sign during the battle (for the sons of Benjamin had thought that they fled, and they pursued them forcefully, cutting down thirty men from their army).
Тако синови Израиљеви стадоше бежати из боја, а синови Венијаминови почеше убијати, и исекоше до тридесет људи између синова Израиљевих говорећи: Доиста падају пред нама као у пређашњем боју.
40 And they saw something like a pillar of smoke ascending from the city. Likewise, Benjamin, looking back, discerned that the city was captured, for the flames were being carried on high.
Али кад се пламен и дим као стуб диже из града, обазреше се синови Венијаминови, и гле, огањ се из града дизаше до неба.
41 And those who before had pretended to flee, turning their faces, withstood them more strongly. And when the sons of Benjamin had seen this, they turned their backs in flight,
Тада се вратише синови Израиљеви, а синови Венијаминови сметоше се видећи да их је зло задесило;
42 and they began to go toward the way of the desert, with the adversary pursuing them to that place also. Moreover, those who had set fire to the city also met them.
И побегоше испред синова Израиљевих к пустињи; али их војска гоњаше, и који из градова излажаху, бише их међу собом.
43 And so it happened that they were cut down on both sides by the enemies, nor was there any respite for the dying. They were killed and struck down on the eastern side of the city of Gibeah.
Тако опколише синове Венијаминове, гонише их, тлачише их од Менује до Гаваје к истоку.
44 Now those who were put to death in the same place were eighteen thousand men, all very robust fighters.
И погибе синова Венијаминових осамнаест хиљада људи, самих јунака.
45 And when those who remained of Benjamin had seen this, they fled into the wilderness. And they were traveling toward the rock which is called Rimmon. In that flight also, among those who were scattering in different directions, they slew five thousand men. And though they scattered all the more, they continued to pursue them, and then they put to death another two thousand.
А оних што се окретоше и побегоше у пустињу к стени Римону, напабирчише их по путевима пет хиљада људи, и тераше их до Гидома и побише их две хиљаде људи.
46 And so it happened that all of those who were slain from Benjamin, in various places, were twenty-five thousand fighters, very willing to go to war.
И тако свега погибе онај дан синова Венијаминових двадесет и пет хиљада људи који махаху мачем, све самих јунака.
47 And so there remained from the entire number of Benjamin six hundred men who were able to escape and to flee into the wilderness. And they settled at the rock of Rimmon, for four months.
И беше шест стотина људи који се окретоше и утекоше у пустињу к стени Римону, и осташе на стени Римону четири месеца.
48 But the sons of Israel, returning, had struck with the sword all that remained in the city, from men even to cattle. And all the cities and villages of Benjamin were consumed with devouring flames.
Потом синови Израиљеви вративши се к синовима Венијаминовим исекоше оштрим мачем и људе по градовима и стоку и шта се год нађе; и све градове који осташе попалише огњем.
