Judges 3
1 Now these are the nations which YHWH left, to prove Israel by them, even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan;
А ово су народи које остави Господ да њима куша Израиљ, све оне који не знаху за ратове хананске,
2 only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing of it:
Да би барем наслеђе синова Израиљевих знало и разумело шта је рат, барем они који од пре нису знали:
3 namely, the five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites who lived on Mount 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, to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would listen to the commandments of YHWH, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of 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 The children of Israel lived among the Canaanites, the Hethites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites:
И живљаху синови Израиљеви усред Хананеја и Хетеја и Амореја и Ферезеја и Јевеја и Јевусеја.
6 and they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their own daughters to their sons and served their gods.
И жењаху се кћерима њиховим и удаваху кћери своје за синове њихове, и служаху боговима њиховим.
7 The children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of YHWH, and forgot YHWH their God, and served the Baals and the Asheroth.
И чињаху синови Израиљеви што је зло пред Господом, и заборавише Господа Бога свог и служаху Валима и луговима.
8 Therefore the anger of YHWH was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Cushan Rishathaim king of Aram Naharaim; and the children of Israel served Cushan Rishathaim 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 When the children of Israel cried to YHWH, YHWH raised up a savior to the children of Israel, who saved them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother; and he obeyed him.
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 YHWH came on him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war, and YHWH delivered Cushan Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand: and his hand prevailed against Cushan Rishathaim.
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 The land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
И земља би мирна четрдесет година. Потом умре Готонило син Кенезов.
12 The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of YHWH: and YHWH strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done that which was evil in the sight of YHWH.
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 He gathered to him the people of Ammon and Amalek; and he went and struck Israel, and they possessed the city of palm trees.
Јер скупи к себи синове Амонове и Амалике, и изашавши поби Израиља, и освојише град палмов.
14 The children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
И синови Израиљеви служише Еглону цару моавском осамнаест година.
15 But when the children of Israel cried to YHWH, YHWH raised them up a savior, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a man left-handed. The children of Israel sent tribute by him to Eglon the 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 made him a sword which had two edges, eighteen inches in length; and he girded it under his clothing on his right thigh.
А Аод начини себи мач са обе стране оштар, од лакта у дужину; и припаса га под хаљине своје уз десну бедрицу.
17 He offered the tribute to Eglon king of Moab: now Eglon was a very fat man.
И однесе дар Еглону цару моавском; а Еглон беше човек врло дебео.
18 When he had made an end of offering the tribute, he sent away the people who bore the tribute.
И кад предаде дар, отпусти људе који су носили дар.
19 But he himself turned back from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, "I have a secret message for you, O king." The king said, "Keep silence." All who stood by him went out from him.
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 came to him; and he was sitting by himself alone in the cool upper room. Ehud said, "I have a message from God to you, O king." He arose out of 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 And it happened as he rose up that Ehud put forth his left hand and took the sword from his right thigh and thrust it into his belly.
А Аод потеже левом руком својом и узе мач од десне бедрице и сатера му га у трбух,
22 And the handle also went in after the blade; and the fat closed on the blade, for he didn't draw the sword out of his belly; and it came out behind.
И држак уђе за мачем, и сало се склопи за мачем, те не може извући мача из трбуха; и изиђе нечист.
23 Then Ehud went forth into the porch, and shut the doors of the upper room on him, and locked them.
Потом изиђе Аод из собе, и затвори врата за собом и закључа.
24 Now when he was gone out, his servants came; and they saw, and look, the doors of the upper room were locked; and they said, "Surely he is covering his feet in the upper room."
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 They waited until they were ashamed; and look, he did not open the doors of the upper room: therefore they took the key, and opened them, and look, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth.
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 Ehud escaped while they waited, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped to Seirah.
А Аод докле се они забавише побеже и прође ликове камене, и утече у Сериот.
27 It happened, when he had 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.
А кад дође, затруби у трубу у гори Јефремовој; и сиђоше с њим синови Израиљеви с горе, а он напред.
28 He said to them, "Follow after me; for YHWH has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand." They went down after him, and took the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites, and did not allow a man to pass over.
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 They struck of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, every lusty man, and every man of valor; and there escaped not a man.
И тада побише Моавце, око десет хиљада људи, све богате и храбре, и ни један не утече.
30 So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. Then the land had rest eighty years. And Ehud judged them until he died.
Тако у тај дан потпадоше Моавци под руку Израиљеву; и земља би мирна осамдесет година.
31 And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who alone struck down six hundred men of the Philistines with an oxgoad. And he also saved Israel.
А после њега наста Самегар син Анатов, и поби шест стотина Филистеја останом волујским, и избави и он Израиља.
