Judges 11
1 Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valor, and he was the son of a prostitute. And Gilead became the father of Jephthah.
A Jeftaj od Galada bijaše hrabar junak, ali sin jedne kurve, s kojom Galad rodi Jeftaja.
2 Gilead's wife bore him sons; and when his wife's sons grew up, they drove out Jephthah, and said to him, "You shall not inherit in 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 Then Jephthah fled from his brothers, and lived in the land of Tob: and there were gathered vain fellows to Jephthah, and they went out with him.
Zato pobježe Jeftaj od braæe svoje, i nastani se u zemlji Tovu; i stekoše se k njemu ljudi praznovi, i iðahu s njim.
4 It happened after a while, that the people of Ammon made war against Israel.
A poslije nekoga vremena zavojštiše sinovi Amonovi na Izrailja;
5 It was so, that when the people of Ammon made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to get Jephthah out of 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, that we may fight with the people of Ammon."
I rekoše Jeftaju: hodi i budi nam vojvoda, da vojujemo sa sinovima Amonovijem.
7 And Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, "Did you not hate me, and drive me out of my father's house, and sent me away from you? And why have you come to me now when you are in distress?"
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 The elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, "Not so. We have turned to you now, that you may go with us, and fight with the people of Ammon; and you shall be our head over all the inhabitants 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 Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, "If you bring me home again to fight with the people of Ammon, and the LORD delivers them before me, shall I be 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 The elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, "The LORD shall be witness between us; surely according to your word so will we do."
A starješine Galadske rekoše Jeftaju: Gospod neka bude svjedok meðu nama, ako ne uèinimo kako si kazao.
11 Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and chief over them. And Jephthah spoke all his words 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 Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the people of Ammon, saying, "What have you to do with me, that you have come to me to fight 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 people of Ammon answered the messengers of Jephthah, "Because Israel took away my land, when he came up out of Egypt, from the Arnon even to the Jabbok, and to the Jordan. Now therefore restore it peaceably, and I will depart."
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 the messengers returned to Jephthah, and Jephthah sent messengers again to the king of the people of Ammon;
Ali Jeftaj posla opet poslanike k caru sinova Amonovijeh,
15 and he said to him, "Thus says Jephthah: 'Israel did not take away the land of Moab, nor the land of the people 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, and Israel went through the wilderness 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 messengers to the king of Edom, saying, 'Please let me pass through your land.' But the king of Edom did not listen. In the same way, he sent to the king of Moab; but he would not. So Israel stayed 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 they went through the wilderness, and went around the land of Edom, and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab, and they camped on the other side of the Arnon; but they did not come within the territory of Moab, for the Arnon was the boundary 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 Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said to him, "Please let me pass through your land to our land.'
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 did not trust Israel to pass through his territory; but Sihon gathered all his people together, and camped in Jahaz, and fought against 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 The LORD, the God of Israel, delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they struck them. So Israel possessed all the land of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that country.
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 They possessed all the territory of the Amorites, from the Arnon even to the Jabbok, and from the wilderness even to the Jordan.
Zadobiše svu zemlju Amorejsku od Arnona do Javoka, i od pustinje do Jordana.
23 So now the LORD, the God of Israel, has driven out the Amorites from before his people Israel, and should you possess them?
Tako je dakle Gospod Bog Izrailjev otjerao Amoreje ispred naroda svojega Izrailja, pa ti li hoæeš da je zemlja njihova tvoja?
24 Won't you possess that which Chemosh your god gives you to possess? So whoever the LORD our God has driven out from before us, we will possess.
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 And now are you anything better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he ever contend against Israel, or did he ever fight 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 lived in Heshbon and its towns, and in Aroer and its towns, and in all the cities that are along by the side of the Arnon, three hundred years; why did you not liberate them within 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 I therefore have not sinned against you, but you do me wrong by making war against me. The LORD, the Judge, be judge this day between the children of Israel and the people 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 However the king of the people of Ammon did not listen to the words of Jephthah which he sent him.
Ali car sinova Amonovijeh ne posluša rijeèi koje mu poruèi Jeftaj.
29 Then the Ruach of the LORD came on Jephthah, and he passed over Gilead and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over to the people 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 Jephthah made a vow to the LORD, and said, "If you will indeed deliver the people of Ammon into my hand,
I zavjetova Jeftaj zavjet Gospodu i reèe: ako mi daš sinove Amonove u ruke,
31 then it shall be that whatever comes forth from the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the people of Ammon, it shall be the LORD's, and I will offer it up for a burnt 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 passed over to the people of Ammon to fight against them; and the LORD delivered them into his hand.
I tako doðe Jeftaj do sinova Amonovijeh da se bije s njima; i Gospod mu ih dade u ruke.
33 He struck them from Aroer until you come to Minnith, even twenty cities, and to Abel Keramim, with a very great slaughter. So the people of Ammon were subdued 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 Jephthah came to Mizpah to his house; and look, his daughter came out to meet him with tambourines and with dances: and she was his only child; besides her he had neither son nor daughter.
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 it happened, when he saw her, that he tore his clothes, and said, "Alas, my daughter. You have brought me very low. You have become a stumbling block in my sight. And you are among those who trouble me. For I have given my word to the LORD, and I can't break it."
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 She said to him, "My father, since you have given your word to the LORD; do to me as you promised, because the LORD has taken vengeance for you on your enemies, even on the people 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 She said to her father, "Let this thing be done for me: leave me alone two months, that I may depart and go down on the mountains, and weep because of my virginity, I and my companions."
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 He said, "Go." He sent her away for two months: and she departed, she and her companions, and wept because of her virginity on the mountains.
A on joj reèe: idi. I pusti je na dva mjeseca, i ona otide s drugama svojim i oplakiva djevojaštvo svoje po gorama.
39 It happened at the end of two months, that she returned to her father, who did with her according to what he had vowed. And she was a virgin. It became a custom 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 that the daughters of Israel went yearly four days in a year to commemorate the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite.
Da od godine do godine idu kæeri Izrailjeve da plaèu za kæerju Jeftaja od Galada, èetiri dana u godini.
