Judges 3
1 The following are the nations the Lord left and used to test all those Israelites who had not known what it was like to be part of any of the wars in Canaan.
А ово су народи које остави Господ да њима куша Израиљ, све оне који не знаху за ратове хананске,
2 (He did so to teach warfare to the later generations of Israel, particularly to those who had not previously experienced it.)
Да би барем наслеђе синова Израиљевих знало и разумело шта је рат, барем они који од пре нису знали:
3 They are: the five rulers of the Philistines, all the Canaanites, the Sidonians, and the Hivites living in the mountains of Lebanon from Mount Baal-hermon to Lebo-hamath.
Пет кнежевина филистејских, и сви Хананеји и Сидонци и Јевеји, који живљаху на гори Ливану од горе Вал-Ермона до Емата.
4 They were left there be to a test for the Israelites, to find out whether the Israelites would keep the Lord's commandments which he had given their forefathers through Moses.
Ти народи осташе да се Израиљ њима куша, да се види хоће ли слушати заповести Господње, које је заповедио оцима њиховим преко Мојсија.
5 They lived among the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.
И живљаху синови Израиљеви усред Хананеја и Хетеја и Амореја и Ферезеја и Јевеја и Јевусеја.
6 The Israelites intermarried with them, marrying their daughters, giving their own daughters to their sons, and worshiped their gods.
И жењаху се кћерима њиховим и удаваху кћери своје за синове њихове, и служаху боговима њиховим.
7 The Israelites did what was evil in the Lord's sight. They ignored the Lord their God and worshiped the images of Baals and Asherahs.
И чињаху синови Израиљеви што је зло пред Господом, и заборавише Господа Бога свог и служаху Валима и луговима.
8 The Lord became angry with Israel, so he sold them to Cushan-Rishathaim, king of Aram Naharaim. The Israelites were subject to Cushan-Rishathaim for eight years.
Зато се разгневи Господ на Израиља, и даде их у руке Хусан-Рисатајиму цару месопотамском; и служаше синови Израиљеви Хусан-Рисатајиму осам година.
9 But when the Israelites cried out to the Lord to help them, he provided someone to rescue them, Othniel, son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, and he saved them.
Потом вапише синови Израиљеви ка Господу, и подиже Господ избавитеља синовима Израиљевим да их избави, Готонила сина Кенезовог, млађег брата Халевовог,
10 The Spirit of the Lord came on him, and he became Israel's judge. He went to war with Cushan-Rishathaim, king of Aram, and the Lord handed the king over to Othniel, who was victorious.
И беше на њему дух Господњи, и суђаше Израиљу; и изиђе на војску, и предаде му Господ у руке Хусан-Рисатајима цара месопотамског; и рука његова надјача Хусан-Рисатајима.
11 As a result, the country was a peace for forty years until Othniel, son of Kenaz, died.
И земља би мирна четрдесет година. Потом умре Готонило син Кенезов.
12 But once again the Israelites did what was evil in the Lord's sight, and because they did this the Lord gave power to Eglon, king of Moab, to conquer Israel.
А синови Израиљеви стадоше опет чинити што је зло пред Господом; а Господ укрепи Еглона цара моавског на Израиља, јер чињаху што је зло пред Господом.
13 Eglon had the Ammonites and the Amalekite join him, and then attacked and defeated Israel, taking possession of the City of Palms.
Јер скупи к себи синове Амонове и Амалике, и изашавши поби Израиља, и освојише град палмов.
14 The Israelites were subject to Eglon, king of Moab, for eighteen years.
И синови Израиљеви служише Еглону цару моавском осамнаест година.
15 Again the Israelites cried out to the Lord to help them, and he provided someone to rescue them, Ehud, son of Gera the Benjamite, a left-handed man. The Israelites sent him to pay the tribute to Eglon, king of Moab.
Потом вапише синови Израиљеви ка Господу; и Господ им подиже избавитеља Аода сина Гире сина Венијаминовог, човека који беше левак. И послаше синови Израиљеви по њему дар Еглону цару моавском.
16 Ehud had made for himself a cubit long double-edged sword, and he strapped it to his right thigh under his clothes.
А Аод начини себи мач са обе стране оштар, од лакта у дужину; и припаса га под хаљине своје уз десну бедрицу.
17 He came and presented the tribute to Eglon, king of Moab, who was a very fat man.
И однесе дар Еглону цару моавском; а Еглон беше човек врло дебео.
18 Then after delivering the tribute he sent home those who had helped carry it.
И кад предаде дар, отпусти људе који су носили дар.
19 But when he reached the stone idols near Gilgal, he turned back. He went to see Eglon, and told him, “Your Majesty, I have a secret message for you.” The king told his attendants, “Silence!” and they all left.
Па сам врати се од ликова камених, који беху код Галгала, рече: Имам, царе, неку тајну да ти кажем. А он рече: Ћути! И отидоше од њега сви који стајаху пред њим.
20 Ehud then went over to where Eglon was sitting alone in his cool upstairs room, and told him, “I have a message from God for you.” As the king got up from his seat,
А Аод приступи к њему; а он сеђаше сам у летњој соби; па рече Аод: Реч Божју имам да ти кажем. Тада он уста с престола.
21 Ehud grabbed his sword with his left hand from his right thigh and drove it into Eglon's belly.
А Аод потеже левом руком својом и узе мач од десне бедрице и сатера му га у трбух,
22 The handle went in with the blade and the fat closed over it. So Ehud didn't pull the sword out, and the king defecated.
И држак уђе за мачем, и сало се склопи за мачем, те не може извући мача из трбуха; и изиђе нечист.
23 Then Ehud closed and locked the doors, and escaped through the toilet.
Потом изиђе Аод из собе, и затвори врата за собом и закључа.
24 After he had left, the servants came and saw that the doors of the room were locked. “He must be using the toilet,” they concluded.
А кад он отиде, дођоше слуге, и погледаше, а то врата од собе закључана, па рекоше: Ваљда иде напоље у клети до летње собе.
25 So they waited until they couldn't stand it any more, and since he still hadn't opened the doors of the room, they went and found the key and opened the doors. There was their lord, lying dead on the floor.
И већ им се досади чекати а врата се од собе не отварају, те узеше кључ и отворише, а гле, господар им лежи на земљи мртав.
26 While the servants delayed acting, Ehud escaped, passing the stone idols and on to Seirah.
А Аод докле се они забавише побеже и прође ликове камене, и утече у Сериот.
27 When he got there, he blew a trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim, and the Israelites joined him. They went down from the hills, with Ehud leading them.
А кад дође, затруби у трубу у гори Јефремовој; и сиђоше с њим синови Израиљеви с горе, а он напред.
28 He told them, “Follow me, for the Lord has handed Moab, your enemy, over to you.” So they followed him down and took control of the fords of the Jordan leading to Moab. They didn't let anyone cross.
Па им рече: Хајдете за мном, јер Господ предаде вам у руке непријатеље ваше Моавце. И сиђоше за њим, и узеше Моавцима бродове јорданске, и не даваху никоме прећи.
29 Then they attacked the Moabites and killed around 10,000 of their best and strongest fighting men. Not a single one escaped.
И тада побише Моавце, око десет хиљада људи, све богате и храбре, и ни један не утече.
30 Moab was conquered that day and made subject to Israel, and the country was at peace for eighty years.
Тако у тај дан потпадоше Моавци под руку Израиљеву; и земља би мирна осамдесет година.
31 After Ehud was Shamgar, son of Anath, who killed six hundred Philistines with an oxgoad. He also rescued Israel.
А после њега наста Самегар син Анатов, и поби шест стотина Филистеја останом волујским, и избави и он Израиља.
