Judges 3
1 At that time there were still many people-groups in Canaan. Yahweh left them there to test the Israeli people. But many of the Israelis in Canaan were ones who had not fought in any of the wars in Canaan. So Yahweh also left those people-groups in Canaan so that the descendants of those who had not fought in any of the wars might learn how to fight.
A ovo su narodi koje ostavi Gospod da njima kuša Izrailja, sve one koji ne znahu za ratove Hananske,
Da bi barem natražje sinova Izrailjevijeh znalo i razumjelo što je rat, barem oni koji od prije nijesu znali:
3 [This is a list of] the people-groups that Yahweh left there: The Philistines and their five leaders, the people living in the area near Sidon [city], the descendants of Canaan, and the descendants of Hiv who were living in the mountains of Lebanon between Baal-Hermon Mountain and Lebo-Hamath.
Pet kneževina Filistejskih, i svi Hananeji i Sidonci i Jeveji, koji življahu na gori Livanu od gore Val-Ermona do Emata.
4 Yahweh left these people-groups there to test the Israelis, to see if they would obey his commands which he had told Moses to give them.
Ti narodi ostaše da se Izrailj njima kuša, da se vidi hoæe li slušati zapovijesti Gospodnje, koje je zapovjedio ocima njihovijem preko Mojsija.
5 The Israelis lived among the Canaan people-group, the Hiv people-group, the Amor people-group, the Periz people-group, the Hiv people-group, and the Jebus people-group.
I življahu sinovi Izrailjevi usred Hananeja i Heteja i Amoreja i Ferezeja i Jeveja i Jevuseja.
6 [Moses had told the people not to associate with any of those people]. But the Israelis took daughters of people from those people-groups [to be their own wives], and gave their own daughters to men of those groups, to marry them. And [as a result] they started to worship the gods of those people-groups.
I ženjahu se kæerima njihovijem i udavahu kæeri svoje za sinove njihove, i služahu bogovima njihovijem.
7 The Israelis did things that Yahweh said were very evil. They forgot about Yahweh, their God, and they started to worship [the idols that represented] the god Baal and the goddess Asherah.
I èinjahu sinovi Izrailjevi što je zlo pred Gospodom, i zaboraviše Gospoda Boga svojega i služahu Valima i lugovima.
8 Yahweh became very angry with the Israelis. So he allowed king Cushan from Mesopotamia to conquer them and rule them for 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 But when they pleaded to Yahweh [to help them], he gave them a leader to rescue them. He was Othniel, the son of Caleb’s younger brother Kenaz.
Potom vapiše sinovi Izrailjevi ka Gospodu, i podiže Gospod izbavitelja sinovima Izrailjevijem da ih izbavi, Gotonila sina Kenezova, mlaðega brata Halevova,
10 Yahweh’s Spirit came upon him, and he became their leader. He [led an army that] fought against [the army of] Cushan, and defeated them.
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 After that, there was peace in the land for 40 years, until Othniel died.
I zemlja bi mirna èetrdeset godina. Potom umrije Gotonilo sin Kenezov.
12 After that, the Israelis again did things that Yahweh said were very evil. As a result, he allowed the army of King Eglon, who ruled [the] Moab [area], to defeat the Israelis.
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 Eglon persuaded the leaders of the Ammon and Amalek people-groups to join their armies with his army to attack Israel. They captured [Jericho, which was called] ‘The City of Palm Trees’.
Jer skupi k sebi sinove Amonove i Amalike, i izašavši pobi Izrailja, i osvojiše grad palmov.
14 Then King Eglon ruled the Israelis for eighteen years.
I sinovi Izrailjevi služiše Eglonu caru Moavskom osamnaest godina.
15 But then the Israelis again pleaded to Yahweh [to help them]. So he gave them another leader to rescue them. He was Ehud, a left-handed man, the son of Gera, from the descendants of Benjamin. The Israelis sent him to King Eglon to give him their yearly protection money.
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 Ehud had with him a double-edged dagger, about a foot and a half long. He strapped it to his right thigh, under his clothes.
A Aod naèini sebi maè s obje strane oštar, od lakta u dužinu; i pripasa ga pod haljine svoje uz desnu bedricu.
17 He gave the money to King Eglon, who was a very fat man.
I odnese dar Eglonu caru Moavskom; a Eglon bješe èovjek vrlo debeo.
18 Then Ehud started to go back home with the men who had carried the money.
I kad predade dar, otpusti ljude koji su nosili dar.
19 When they arrived at the stone carvings near Gilgal, [he told the other men to go on, but] he himself turned around and went back [to the king of Moab. When he arrived at the palace], he said to the king, “Your majesty, I have a secret message for you.” So the king told all his servants to be quiet, and sent them out of the room.
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 Then, as Eglon was sitting alone in the upstairs room of his summer palace, Ehud came close to him and said, “I have a message for you from God.” As the king got up from his chair,
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 Ehud reached with his left hand and pulled the dagger from his right thigh, and plunged it into the king’s belly.
A Aod poteže lijevom rukom svojom i uze maè od desne bedrice, i satjera mu ga u trbuh,
22 He thrust it in so far that the handle went into the king’s belly, and the blade came out the king’s back. Ehud did not pull the dagger out. [He left it there, with] the handle buried in the king’s fat.
I držak uðe za maèem, i salo se sklopi za maèem, te ne može izvuæi maèa iz trbuha; i izide neèist.
23 Then Ehud left the room. He went out to the porch. He shut the doors to the room and locked them.
Potom izide Aod iz sobe, i zatvori vrata za sobom i zakljuèa.
24 After he had gone, King Eglon’s servants came back, but they saw that the doors of the room were locked. They said, “The king must be defecating in the inner room.”
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 So they waited, but when the king did not open the doors of the room, after a while they were worried. They got a key and unlocked the doors. And they saw that their king was lying on the floor, dead.
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 Meanwhile, Ehud escaped. He passed by the stone carvings and arrived at Seirah, in the hilly area where the descendants of Ephraim lived.
A Aod dokle se oni zabaviše pobježe i proðe likove kamene, i uteèe u Seirot.
27 There he blew a trumpet [to signal that the people should join him to fight the people of Moab]. So the Israelis went with him from the hills. They went down [toward the Jordan river], with Ehud leading them.
I kad doðe, zatrubi u trubu u gori Jefremovoj; i sidoše s njim sinovi Izrailjevi s gore, a on naprijed.
28 He said to the men, “Yahweh is going to allow us to defeat your enemies, the people of Moab. So follow me!” So they followed him down to the river, and they stationed some of their men at the place where people can walk across the river, in order that they could [kill any people from Moab who tried to] cross the river [to escape].
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 At that time, the Israelis killed about 10,000 people from Moab. They were all strong and capable men, but not one of them escaped.
I tada pobiše Moavce, oko deset tisuæa ljudi, sve bogate i hrabre, i nijedan ne uteèe.
30 On that day, the Israelis conquered the people of Moab. Then there was peace in their land for 80 years.
Tako u taj dan potpadoše Moavci pod ruku Izrailjevu; i zemlja bi mirna osamdeset godina.
31 After Ehud [died], Shamgar became their leader. He rescued the Israelis [from the Philistines. In one battle] he killed 600 Philistines with an (ox goad/sharp wooden pole).
A poslije njega nasta Samegar sin Anatov, i pobi šest stotina Filisteja ostanom volujskim, i izbavi i on Izrailja.
