< Judges 3 >

1 And these are the nations that Jehovah left, to prove Israel by them, all that had not known all the wars of Canaan;
A ovo su narodi koje ostavi Gospod da njima kuša Izrailja, sve one koji ne znahu za ratove Hananske,
2 only that the generations of the children of Israel might know war by learning it, at the least those who before had known nothing thereof:
Da bi barem natražje sinova Izrailjevijeh znalo i razumjelo što je rat, barem oni koji od prije nijesu znali:
3 five lord ships of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwell on mount Lebanon; from mount Baal-Hermon unto the entering into Hamath.
Pet kneževina Filistejskih, i svi Hananeji i Sidonci i Jeveji, koji življahu na gori Livanu od gore Val-Ermona do Emata.
4 And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would obey the commandments of Jehovah, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
Ti narodi ostaše da se Izrailj njima kuša, da se vidi hoæe li slušati zapovijesti Gospodnje, koje je zapovjedio ocima njihovijem preko Mojsija.
5 And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites: Hittites and Amorites and Perizzites and Hivites and Jebusites;
I življahu sinovi Izrailjevi usred Hananeja i Heteja i Amoreja i Ferezeja i Jeveja i Jevuseja.
6 and they took their daughters as wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.
I ženjahu se kæerima njihovijem i udavahu kæeri svoje za sinove njihove, i služahu bogovima njihovijem.
7 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and forgot Jehovah their God, and served the Baals and the Asherahs.
I èinjahu sinovi Izrailjevi što je zlo pred Gospodom, i zaboraviše Gospoda Boga svojega i služahu Valima i lugovima.
8 And the anger of Jehovah was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia; and the children of Israel served Chushan-rishathaim eight years.
Zato se razgnjevi Gospod na Izrailja, i dade ih u ruke Husan-Risatajimu caru Mesopotamskom; i služiše sinovi Izrailjevi Husan-Risatajimu osam godina.
9 And the children of Israel cried to Jehovah; and Jehovah raised up a saviour to the children of Israel, who saved them, Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.
Potom vapiše sinovi Izrailjevi ka Gospodu, i podiže Gospod izbavitelja sinovima Izrailjevijem da ih izbavi, Gotonila sina Kenezova, mlaðega brata Halevova,
10 And the Spirit of Jehovah was upon him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war, and Jehovah gave Chushan-rishathaim king of Syria into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushan-rishathaim.
I bijaše na njemu duh Gospodnji, i suðaše Izrailju; i izide na vojsku, i predade mu Gospod u ruke Husan-Risatajima cara Mesopotamskoga; i ruka njegova nadjaèa Husan-Risatajima.
11 And the land had rest forty years; and Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
I zemlja bi mirna èetrdeset godina. Potom umrije Gotonilo sin Kenezov.
12 And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of Jehovah; and Jehovah strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they did evil in the sight of Jehovah.
A sinovi Izrailjevi stadoše opet èiniti što je zlo pred Gospodom; a Gospod ukrijepi Eglona cara Moavskoga na Izrailja, jer èinjahu što je zlo pred Gospodom.
13 And he gathered to him the children of Ammon and Amalek and went and smote Israel, and they took possession of the city of palm-trees.
Jer skupi k sebi sinove Amonove i Amalike, i izašavši pobi Izrailja, i osvojiše grad palmov.
14 And the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
I sinovi Izrailjevi služiše Eglonu caru Moavskom osamnaest godina.
15 And the children of Israel cried to Jehovah, and Jehovah raised them up a saviour, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjaminite, a man left-handed. And by him the children of Israel sent a gift to Eglon king of Moab.
Potom vapiše sinovi Izrailjevi ka Gospodu; i Gospod im podiže izbavitelja Aoda sina Gire sina Venijaminova, èovjeka koji bijaše ljevak. I poslaše sinovi Izrailjevi po njemu dar Eglonu caru Moavskom.
16 And Ehud made him a sword having two edges, it was of a cubit length; and he girded it under his raiment upon his right hip.
A Aod naèini sebi maè s obje strane oštar, od lakta u dužinu; i pripasa ga pod haljine svoje uz desnu bedricu.
17 And he brought the gift to Eglon king of Moab; now Eglon was a very fat man.
I odnese dar Eglonu caru Moavskom; a Eglon bješe èovjek vrlo debeo.
18 And it came to pass when he had ended offering the gift, he sent away the people that had borne the gift.
I kad predade dar, otpusti ljude koji su nosili dar.
19 But he turned from the graven images that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret word unto thee, O king. And he said, Be silent! And all that stood by him went out from him.
Pa sam vrativ se od likova kamenijeh, koji bijahu kod Galgala, reèe: imam, care, neku tajnu da ti kažem. A on reèe: muèi! I otidoše od njega svi koji stajahu pred njim.
20 And Ehud came to him; now he was sitting in the cool upper-chamber, which was for him alone. And Ehud said, I have a word from God unto thee. And he arose from the seat.
A Aod pristupi k njemu; a on sjeðaše sam u ljetnoj sobi; pa reèe Aod: rijeè Božiju imam da ti kažem. Tada on usta s prijestola.
21 Then Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the sword from his right hip, and thrust it into his belly;
A Aod poteže lijevom rukom svojom i uze maè od desne bedrice, i satjera mu ga u trbuh,
22 and the haft also went in after the blade, and the fat closed upon the blade; for he did not draw the sword out of his belly, and it came out between the legs.
I držak uðe za maèem, i salo se sklopi za maèem, te ne može izvuæi maèa iz trbuha; i izide neèist.
23 And Ehud went out into the portico, and shut the doors of the upper-chamber upon him, and bolted them.
Potom izide Aod iz sobe, i zatvori vrata za sobom i zakljuèa.
24 And when he was gone out, the servants of the [king] came and saw, and behold, the doors of the upper-chamber were bolted. And they said, Surely he is covering his feet in the summer chamber.
A kad on otide, doðoše sluge, i pogledaše, a to vrata od sobe zakljuèana, pa rekoše: valjada ide napolje u klijeti do ljetne sobe.
25 And they waited till they were ashamed; and behold, he opened not the doors of the upper-chamber, and they took the key, and opened [them], and behold, their lord lay dead on the earth.
I veæ im se dosadi èekati a vrata se od sobe ne otvoraju, te uzeše kljuè i otvoriše, a gle, gospodar im leži na zemlji mrtav.
26 And Ehud had escaped while they lingered, and passed beyond the graven images, and escaped to Seirah.
A Aod dokle se oni zabaviše pobježe i proðe likove kamene, i uteèe u Seirot.
27 And it came to pass when he was come, that he blew a trumpet in the hill-country of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the hill-country, and he before them.
I kad doðe, zatrubi u trubu u gori Jefremovoj; i sidoše s njim sinovi Izrailjevi s gore, a on naprijed.
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 toward Moab, and suffered no one to pass over.
Pa im reèe: hajdete za mnom, jer Gospod predade vam u ruke neprijatelje vaše Moavce. I sidoše za njim, i uzeše Moavcima brodove Jordanske, i ne dadijahu nikome prijeæi.
29 And they slew the Moabites at that time, about ten thousand men, all fat, and all men of valour, and not a man escaped.
I tada pobiše Moavce, oko deset tisuæa ljudi, sve bogate i hrabre, i nijedan ne uteèe.
30 And Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest eighty years.
Tako u taj dan potpadoše Moavci pod ruku Izrailjevu; i zemlja bi mirna osamdeset godina.
31 And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath; and he smote the Philistines, six hundred men, with an ox-goad. And he also delivered Israel.
A poslije njega nasta Samegar sin Anatov, i pobi šest stotina Filisteja ostanom volujskim, i izbavi i on Izrailja.
