Judges 21
1 Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpah, saying, There shall not any of us give his daughter to the Benjaminites as wife.
A sinovi Izrailjevi bijahu se zakleli u Mispi rekavši: nijedan izmeðu nas da ne da kæeri svoje za ženu sinu Venijaminovu.
2 And the people came to Bethel, and abode there till even before God, and lifted up their voices and wept bitterly,
Zato otide narod k domu Božijemu, i ostaše ondje do veèera pred Bogom, i podigavši glas svoj plakaše vrlo,
3 and said, Jehovah, God of Israel, why is it come to pass in Israel, that there should be this day one tribe lacking in Israel?
I rekoše: zašto se, Gospode Bože Izrailjev, dogodi ovo u Izrailju, danas da nestane jednoga plemena iz Izrailja?
4 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people rose early, and built there an altar, and offered up burnt-offerings and peace-offerings.
I sjutradan urani narod, i naèini ondje oltar, i prinesoše žrtve paljenice i žrtve zahvalne.
5 And the children of Israel said, Who is there among all the tribes of Israel that came not up with the congregation to Jehovah? For they had [made] a great oath concerning him that came not up to Jehovah to Mizpah, saying, He shall certainly be put to death.
Tada rekoše sinovi Izrailjevi: ima li ko da nije došao na zbor iz svijeh plemena Izrailjevijeh ka Gospodu? Jer se bijahu teško zakleli za onoga ko ne doðe u Mispu ka Gospodu rekavši: da se pogubi.
6 And the children of Israel repented them for Benjamin their brother, and said, To-day is one tribe extirpated from Israel.
Jer se sinovima Izrailjevijem sažali za Venijaminom bratom njihovijem, i rekoše: danas se istrijebi jedno pleme iz Izrailja.
7 What shall we do for wives for them that remain? since we have sworn by Jehovah that we will not give them of our daughters for wives.
Šta æemo èiniti s onima što su ostali da bi imali žene, kad se zaklesmo Gospodom da im ne damo kæeri svojih za žene?
8 And they said, What one is there of the tribes of Israel that came not up to Mizpah to Jehovah? And behold, there came none to the camp from Jabesh-Gilead, to the congregation;
Pa rekoše: ima li ko iz plemena Izrailjevijeh da nije došao u Mispu ka Gospodu? I gle, ne bješe došao na vojsku, na zbor, niko iz Javisa Galadova.
9 for the people were numbered, and behold, there were none of the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead there.
Jer kad se narod prebroji, gle, ne bješe ondje nijednoga od onijeh koji žive u Javisu Galadovu.
10 And the assembly sent thither twelve thousand men of the most valiant and commanded them, saying, Go and smite the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead with the edge of the sword, and the women and the children.
Zato posla zbor onamo dvanaest tisuæa hrabrijeh ljudi, i zapovjedi im govoreæi: idite i pobijte stanovnike u Javisu Galadovu oštrijem maèem i žene i djecu.
11 And this is the thing which ye shall do: ye shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that hath lain with man.
Ovo æete dakle uèiniti: sve muškinje i sve ženskinje što je poznalo èovjeka pobijte.
12 And they found among the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead four hundred young women that were virgins, who had known no man by lying with any male, and they brought them to the camp, to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.
I naðoše meðu stanovnicima Javisa Galadova èetiri stotine djevojaka, koje ne bjehu poznale èovjeka, i dovedoše ih u oko u Silom, koji je u zemlji Hananskoj.
13 And the whole assembly sent to speak to the children of Benjamin that were at the cliff of Rimmon, and to proclaim peace to them.
Tada posla sav zbor, te govoriše sinovima Venijaminovijem koji bjehu u stijeni Rimonu, i objaviše im mir.
14 And Benjamin came again at that time; and they gave them the wives whom they had saved alive of the women of Jabesh-Gilead; but even so they found not enough for them.
Tako se vratiše sinovi Venijaminovi u to vrijeme, i dadoše im žene koje ostaviše u životu izmeðu žena iz Javisa Galadova; ali ih ne bješe dosta za njih.
15 And the people repented them for Benjamin, because Jehovah had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.
A narodu bješe žao Venijamina što Gospod okrnji plemena Izrailjeva.
16 And the elders of the assembly said, What shall we do for wives for them that remain? for the women have been destroyed out of Benjamin.
Pa rekoše starješine od zbora: šta æemo èiniti s ovima što su ostali da bi imali žene? jer su izginule žene u plemenu Venijaminovu.
17 And they said, There must be a possession for those of Benjamin that have escaped, that a tribe be not blotted out of Israel.
Potom rekoše: našljedstvo Venijaminovo pripada onima što su ostali, da se ne bi zatrlo pleme iz Izrailja.
18 But we cannot give them wives of our daughters, for the children of Israel have sworn, saying, Cursed be he that giveth a wife to the Benjaminites!
A mi im ne možemo dati žena izmeðu kæeri svojih; jer su se zakleli sinovi Izrailjevi rekavši: da je proklet ko da ženu sinovima Venijaminovijem.
19 And they said, Behold, there is a feast of Jehovah from year to year in Shiloh, which is on the north side of Bethel, toward the sun-rising of the highway that goes up from Bethel to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah.
Potom rekoše: evo, godišnji je praznik Gospodnji u Silomu, koji je sa sjevera Vetilju, k istoku, na putu koji ide od Vetilja u Sihem, i s juga Levoni.
20 And they commanded the sons of Benjamin, saying, Go and lie in wait in the vineyards;
I zapovjediše sinovima Venijaminovijem govoreæi: idite, i zasjedite po vinogradima.
21 and see, and behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in the dances, then come out of the vineyards, and catch you every man his wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin.
I pazite: pa kad izidu kæeri Silomske da igraju, izidite iz vinograda i otmite svaki sebi ženu izmeðu kæeri Silomskih; i idite u zemlju Venijaminovu.
22 And it shall be, when their fathers or their brethren come to complain to us, that we will say to them, Gratify us with them, because we did not take each man his wife in the war; for ye did not give them to them, that ye should now be guilty.
A kad doðu oci njihovi ili braæa njihova k nama da se sude, mi æemo im kazati: smilujte im se nas radi, jer u ovom ratu nijesmo zarobili žene za svakoga njih; a vi im nijeste dali, i tako neæete biti krivi.
23 And the children of Benjamin did so, and took wives, according to their number, of them that danced, whom they caught; and they went and returned to their inheritance, and built the cities, and dwelt in them.
Tada sinovi Venijaminovi uèiniše tako, i dovedoše žene prema broju svom izmeðu igraèica koje oteše, i otišavši vratiše se na našljedstvo svoje, i sazidaše opet gradove i naseliše se u njima.
24 And the children of Israel departed thence at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family, and they went out from thence every man to his inheritance.
I tako razidoše se sinovi Izrailjevi odande u ono vrijeme svaki u svoje pleme i u porodicu svoju, i otidoše odande svaki na svoje našljedstvo.
25 In those days there was no king in Israel; every man did what was right in his own eyes.
U ono vrijeme ne bješe cara u Izrailju; svaki èinjaše što mu bješe drago.
