Judges 9
1 And he went Abimelech [the] son of Jerub-Baal Shechem towards to [the] brothers of mother his and he spoke to them and to all [the] clan of [the] house of [the] father of mother his saying.
Abimelek, sin Jerubaalov, otiđe u Šekem k braći svoje matere i reče njima i svemu rodu kuće svoje majke:
2 Speak please in [the] ears of all [the] citizens of Shechem what? [is] good for you ¿ to rule over you seventy man all [the] sons of Jerub-Baal or? to rule over you a man one and you will remember that [am] bone your and flesh your I.
“Upitajte sve šekemske građane: što vam je bolje - da nad vama vlada sedamdeset ljudi, svi sinovi Jerubaalovi, ili jedan čovjek? Sjetite se da sam ja od vašeg mesa i vaših kostiju!”
3 And they spoke [the] brothers of mother his on him in [the] ears of all [the] citizens of Shechem all the words these and it turned aside heart their after Abimelech for they said [is] brother our he.
To braća njegove matere prenesoše ostalim šekemskim građanima i njihovo se srce prikloni Abimeleku jer govorahu: “Naš je brat!”
4 And they gave to him seventy silver (from [the] house of Baal-*L(abh)*) Berith and he hired for them Abimelech men unprincipled and undisciplined and they went after him.
I dadoše mu sedamdeset šekela srebra iz hrama Baal-Beritova; time Abimelek unajmi klatež i pustolove koji pođoše za njim.
5 And he went [the] house of father his Ophrah towards and he killed brothers his [the] sons of Jerub-Baal (seventy *L(abh)*) man on stone one and he was left Jotham [the] son of Jerub-Baal young for he hid himself.
Onda dođe u kuću svoga oca u Ofri i pobi svoju braću, sinove Jerubaalove, sedamdeset ljudi, na jednom kamenu. Izmakao mu je samo Jotam, najmlađi sin Jerubaalov jer se bijaše sakrio.
6 And they gathered all [the] citizens of Shechem and all Beth Millo and they went and they made king Abimelech to king near [the] great tree set up which [was] in Shechem.
Tada se skupiše svi šekemski građani i sav Bet-Milo te postaviše Abimeleka za kralja kod hrasta koji stoji u Šekemu.
7 And people told to Jotham and he went and he stood on [the] top of [the] mountain of Gerizim and he lifted up voice his and he called out and he said to them listen to me O citizens of Shechem so he may listen to you God.
Kada su to dojavili Jotamu, ode on, stade na vrh gore Gerizima i povika im na sav glas: “Čujte me, uglednici šekemski, tako vas čuo Bog!
8 Certainly they went the trees to anoint over them a king and they said to the olive tree (reign! *Q(k)*) over us.
Jednom se zaputila stabla da pomažu kralja koji će vladati nad njima. Pa rekoše maslini: 'Budi nam kraljem!'
9 And it said to them the olive tree ¿ will I cease fatness my which by me people honor gods and men and will I go to sway over the trees.
Odgovori im maslina: 'Zar da se svog ulja odreknem što je na čast bozima i ljudima da bih vladala nad drugim drvećem?'
10 And they said the trees to the fig tree come you reign over us.
Tad rekoše stabla smokvi: 'Dođi, budi nam kraljem!'
11 And it said to them the fig tree ¿ will I cease sweetness my and fruit my good and will I go to sway over the trees.
Odgovori im smokva: 'Zar da se odreknem slatkoće i krasnoga ploda svog da bih vladala nad drugim drvećem?'
12 And they said the trees to the vine come you (reign *Q(k)*) over us.
Tad rekoše stabla lozi: 'Dođi, budi nam kraljem!'
13 And it said to them the vine ¿ will I cease new wine my which makes glad gods and men and will I go to sway over the trees.
Odgovori im loza: 'Zar da se odreknem vina što veseli bogove i ljude da bih vladala nad drugim drvećem?'
14 And they said all the trees to the thorn bush come you reign over us.
Sva stabla rekoše tad glogu: 'Dođi, budi nam kraljem!'
15 And it said the thorn bush to the trees if in truth you [are] anointing me to king over you come take refuge in shade my and if not let it go out a fire from the thorn bush and let it consume [the] cedars of Lebanon.
A glog odgovori stablima: 'Ako me doista hoćete pomazat' za kralja, u sjenu se moju sklonite. Ako nećete, iz gloga će oganj planuti i sažeći cedrove libanonske!'
16 And now if in faithfulness and in integrity you have acted and you have made king Abimelech and if good you have done with Jerub-Baal and with house his and if according to [the] dealing of hands his you have done to him.
Sada, jeste li vjerno i čestito učinili kad ste izabrali Abimeleka za kralja? Jeste li se dobro ponijeli prema Jerubaalu i njegovoj kući? Jeste li mu uzvratili za djela što ih za vas učini?
17 That he fought father my on you and he threw life his from in front and he delivered you from [the] hand of Midian.
Moj se otac za vas borio izloživši svoj život te vas izbavio iz ruku Midjanaca,
18 And you you have risen up on [the] house of father my this day and you have killed sons his seventy man on stone one and you have made king Abimelech [the] son of female slave his over [the] citizens of Shechem for [is] brother your he.
a vi danas ustaste protiv kuće moga oca, pobiste njegove sinove, sedamdeset ljudi na istom kamenu, i nad građanima Šekema učiniste kraljem Abimeleka, sina njegove robinje, zato što je vaš brat!
19 And if in faithfulness and in integrity you have acted with Jerub-Baal and with house his the day this rejoice in Abimelech so he may rejoice also he in you.
Ako ste vjerno i pošteno danas radili prema Jerubaalu i prema njegovoj kući, radujte se s Abimelekom, a on neka se raduje s vama!
20 And if not let it go out a fire from Abimelech and let it consume [the] citizens of Shechem and Beth Millo and let it go out a fire from [the] citizens of Shechem and from Beth Millo and let it consume Abimelech.
Ako niste, neka oganj iziđe iz Abimeleka i sažeže građane Šekema i Bet-Mila i neka iziđe oganj iz građana Šekema i Bet-Mila i sažeže Abimeleka!”
21 And he fled Jotham and he ran away and he went Beer towards and he dwelt there [away] from before Abimelech brother his.
Onda Jotam pobježe, skloni se i dođe u Beer, i ondje ostade, jer se bojao svoga brata Abimeleka.
22 And he ruled Abimelech over Israel three years.
Abimelek je vladao nad Izraelom tri godine.
23 And he sent God a spirit evil between Abimelech and between [the] citizens of Shechem and they dealt treacherously [the] citizens of Shechem with Abimelech.
Tada Bog posla duh razdora među Abimeleka i šekemske građane i šekemski se građani pobuniše protiv Abimeleka.
24 To come [the] violence of seventy [the] sons of Jerub-Baal and blood their to put on Abimelech brother their who he killed them and on [the] citizens of Shechem who they strengthened hands his to kill brothers his.
Bijaše to zato da bi se osvetio zločin počinjen nad sedamdeset Jerubaalovih sinova i da bi njihova krv pala na njihova brata Abimeleka, koji ih ubi, i na građane Šekema, koji mu pomogoše da ubije braću.
25 And they set to him [the] citizens of Shechem ambushers on [the] tops of the mountains and they robbed every [one] who he passed by on them on the road and it was told to Abimelech.
Hoteći mu napakostiti, šekemski su građani postavili zasjede po vrhovima planina i pljačkali svakoga tko bi prošao mimo njih onim putem. Javiše to Abimeleku.
26 And he came Gaal [the] son of Ebed and brothers his and they passed on in Shechem and they trusted in him [the] citizens of Shechem.
Gaal, sin Ebedov, dođe sa svojom braćom i nastani se u Šekemu; a šekemski se građani pouzdaše u njega.
27 And they went out the field and they gathered grapes vineyards their and they trod [them] and they made rejoicings and they went [the] house of god their and they ate and they drank and they cursed Abimelech.
Otišavši u polje, trgali su u svojim vinogradima grožđe i gazili ga, a onda udarili u veselje; ušli su u hram svoga boga, jeli su, pili i proklinjali Abimeleka.
28 And he said - Gaal [the] son of Ebed who? [is] Abimelech and who? [is] Shechem that we will serve him ¿ not [is he] [the] son of Jerub-Baal and [is] Zebul? deputy his serve [the] men of Hamor [the] father of Shechem and why? will we serve him we.
A Gaal, Ebedov sin, povika: “Tko je Abimelek da mu služimo? Zar ne bi trebalo da Jerubaalov sin i Zebul, njegov namjesnik, služe ljude Hamora, Šekemova oca? Zašto da mi njemu služimo?
29 And who? will he give the people this in hand my and I will remove Abimelech and he said of Abimelech make numerous army your and come out!
O, kad bih imao ovaj narod u svojoj ruci, protjerao bih Abimeleka i rekao mu: 'Pojačaj svoju vojsku i iziđi u boj!'”
30 And he heard Zebul [the] official of the city [the] words of Gaal [the] son of Ebed and it burned anger his.
A kad Zebul, gradski načelnik, doznade što je govorio Gaal, sin Ebedov, razgnjevi se.
31 And he sent messengers to Abimelech in treachery saying here! Gaal [the] son of Ebed and brothers his [are] coming Shechem towards and here they [are] shutting up the city on you.
Posla glasnike Abimeleku u Arumu i poruči mu: “Evo, Gaal, sin Ebedov, došao u Šekem sa svojom braćom i bune građane protiv tebe.
32 And therefore arise night you and the people which [is] with you and lie in wait in the field.
Zato ustani noću, ti i narod što je s tobom, i stani u zasjedu u polju.
33 And it will be in the morning when rises the sun you will rise early and you will make a raid on the city and there! he and the people which [is] with him [are] going out against you and you will do to him just as it will find hand your.
A ujutro, kad ograne sunce, digni se i udari na grad. Kada Gaal i njegovi ljudi iziđu preda te, ti učini s njima što ti prilike posavjetuju.”
34 And he arose Abimelech and all the people which [was] with him night and they lay in wait on Shechem four companies.
Abimelek usta noću sa svim svojim ljudima i stade u zasjedu oko Šekema u četiri čete.
35 And he went out Gaal [the] son of Ebed and he stood [the] entrance of [the] gate of the city and he arose Abimelech and the people which [was] with him from the ambush.
Kada je Gaal, sin Ebedov, izišao pred gradska vrata i zaustavio se, Abimelek i njegovi ljudi ustaše iz zasjede.
36 And he saw Gaal the people and he said to Zebul there! a people [is] coming down from [the] tops of the mountains and he said to him Zebul [the] shadow of the mountains you [are] seeing like men.
Gaal ugleda ljude i reče Zebulu: “Eno silaze ljudi s gorskih vrhova.” “Od sjena gorskih vrhova”, odgovori mu Zebul, “čine ti se ljudi.”
37 And he repeated again Gaal to speak and he said there! a people [are] coming down from with [the] center of the land and a company one [is] coming from [the] direction of [the] great tree of [the] soothsayer.
Opet progovori Gaal: “Eno silaze ljudi s visa zvana Zemljin pupak, a četa jedna dolazi putem od Čarobnjačkog hrasta.”
38 And he said to him Zebul where? then [is] mouth your O [you] who you said who? [is] Abimelech that we will serve him ¿ not [is] this the people which you rejected it go out please now and fight against him.
Tad mu reče Zebul: “Gdje ti je sada jezik? Pa ti si govorio: 'Tko je Abimelek da mu služimo?' Nisu li ondje ljudi koje si prezirao? Iziđi sada i pobij se s Abimelekom.”
39 And he went out Gaal before [the] citizens of Shechem and he fought against Abimelech.
I Gaal iziđe na čelu šekemskih građana i pobi se s Abimelekom.
40 And he pursued him Abimelech and he fled from before him and they fell [those] fatally wounded many to [the] entrance of the gate.
Abimelek potjera Gaala i on pobježe pred njim; i mnogi njegovi ljudi padoše mrtvi prije nego što su i došli do vrata.
41 And he dwelt Abimelech at Arumah and he drove out Zebul Gaal and brothers his from dwelling at Shechem.
Abimelek se tada vrati u Arumu, a Zebul potjera Gaala i njegovu braću i nije im više dao da ostanu u Šekemu.
42 And it was from [the] next day and it went out the people the field and people told to Abimelech.
Sutradan je narod izišao u polje i javiše to Abimeleku.
43 And he took the people and he divided them into three companies and he lay in wait in the field and he saw and there! the people [was] going out from the city and he rose up on them and he struck down them.
On uze svoju vojsku, podijeli je u tri čete i stade u zasjedu u polju. Kad bi vidio gdje ljudi izlaze iz grada, nasrnuo bi na njih i pobio ih.
44 And Abimelech and the companies which [were] with him they made a raid and they stood [the] entrance of [the] gate of the city and [the] two the companies they made a raid on all [those] who [were] in the field and they struck down them.
Dok je Abimelek sa svojom četom udarao kod gradskih vrata, druge se dvije čete baciše na one koji bijahu u polju i tako ih pobiše.
45 And Abimelech [was] fighting against the city all the day that and he captured the city and the people which [was] in it he killed and he pulled down the city and he sowed it salt.
Čitav je dan Abimelek opsjedao grad. Zauzevši ga, poubija sve stanovništvo, razori grad i posu sol po njemu.
46 And they heard all [the] citizens of [the] tower of Shechem and they went into [the] underground chamber of [the] house of El-Berith.
Kad su to čuli gospodari Migdal Šekema, uđoše svi u tvrdi prostor hrama El-Berita.
47 And it was told to Abimelech that they had gathered together all [the] citizens of [the] tower of Shechem.
Kada je Abimelek doznao da su se svi građani Migdal Šekema ondje sakupili,
48 And he went up Abimelech [the] mountain of Zalmon he and all the people which [was] with him and he took Abimelech the axes in hand his and he cut off a branch of wood and he lifted up it and he put [it] on shoulder his and he said to the people which [was] with him whatever you have seen I have done hurry do like me.
popne se na Salmonsku goru sa svom vojskom svojom. Uzevši u ruke sjekiru, odsječe granu od drveta, podiže je i metnu sebi na rame. A ljudima zapovjedi: “Što vidjeste da sam ja učinio, učinite brzo i vi.”
49 And they cut off also all the people everyone own branch his and they went after Abimelech and they put [them] over the underground chamber and they set on fire over them the underground chamber with fire and they died also all [the] men of [the] tower of Shechem about a thousand man and woman.
I svi ljudi odsjekoše sebi po granu, a onda krenuše za Abimelekom, nabacaše granje na utvrdu i zapališe ga nad onima koji su se ondje nalazili. Tako izgiboše svi žitelji Migdal Šekema, oko tisuću ljudi i žena.
50 And he went Abimelech to Thebez and he encamped at Thebez and he captured it.
Potom Abimelek krenu na Tebes, opsjede ga i osvoji.
51 And a tower of strength it was in [the] middle of the city and they fled there towards all the men and the women and all [the] citizens of the city and they shut [the] door behind them and they went up on [the] roof of the tower.
Bijaše ondje usred grada kula kamo su se sklonili svi ljudi i žene i svi uglednici gradski. Zatvorivši za sobom vrata, popeše se kuli na krov.
52 And he came Abimelech to the tower and he fought against it and he drew near to [the] entrance of the tower to burn it with fire.
Abimelek dođe do kule i napade je. Dok je prilazio vratima kule da je zapali,
53 And she threw a woman one a mill-stone of an upper mill-stone on [the] head of Abimelech and it crushed skull his.
neka žena baci mu žrvanj na glavu i razbi mu lubanju.
54 And he called quickly to the young man - [who] carried armor his and he said to him draw sword your and kill me lest people should say of me a woman she killed him and he pierced through him young man his and he died.
On brzo pozva svoga momka koji mu je nosio oružje i reče mu: “Trgni mač i ubij me da se ne govori o meni: 'Žena ga je ubila.'” Njegov ga momak probode te on umrije.
55 And they saw [the] man of Israel that he was dead Abimelech and they went everyone to own place his.
Kad su Izraelci vidjeli da je Abimelek mrtav, svi se vratiše svojim kućama.
56 And he repaid God [the] evil of Abimelech which he had done to father his by killing seventy brothers his.
Tako je Bog svalio na Abimeleka zlo koje je on učinio svome ocu pobivši sedamdesetero svoje braće.
57 And all [the] evil of [the] men of Shechem he repaid God on head their and it came to them [the] curse of Jotham [the] son of Jerub-Baal.
I sve zlo Šekemaca Bog svali na njihove glave i tako ih stiže kletva Jotama, sina Jerubaalova.
