1 Samuel 11
1 Then Nahash the Ammonite went and laid seige to Jabesh Gilead. All the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, “Make a covenant with us, and we will serve you.”
Tada doðe Nas Amonac, i stade u oko prema Javisu Galadovu. I svi ljudi iz Javisa rekoše Nasu: uèini vjeru s nama, pa æemo ti služiti.
2 Nahash the Ammonite replied, “On this condition will I make a treaty with you, that I gouge out all of your right eyes, and in this way bring disgrace on all Israel.”
A Nas Amonac odgovori im: ovako æu uèiniti vjeru s vama: da vam svakome iskopam desno oko, i tu sramotu uèinim svemu Izrailju.
3 Then the elders of Jabesh replied to him, “Leave us alone for seven days, so that we may send messengers to all the territory of Israel. Then, if there is no one to save us, we will surrender to you.”
A starješine Javiske rekoše mu: ostavi nam sedam dana, da pošljemo poslanike u sve krajeve Izrailjeve; pa ako ne bude nikoga da nas izbavi, tada æemo izaæi k tebi.
4 The messengers came to Gibeah, where Saul lived, and told the people what had happened. All the people wept loudly.
I doðoše poslanici u Gavaju Saulovu, i kazaše ove rijeèi narodu; tada sav narod podiže glas svoj, i plakahu.
5 Now Saul was following the oxen out of the field. Saul said, “What is wrong with the people that they are weeping?” They told Saul what the men of Jabesh had said.
A gle, Saul iðaše za govedima svojim iz polja, i reèe: šta je narodu te plaèe? I kazaše mu šta su poruèili Javišani.
6 When Saul heard what they said, the Spirit of God rushed upon him, and he was very angry.
Tada siðe duh Božji na Saula kad èu te rijeèi, i on se razgnjevi vrlo.
7 He took a yoke of oxen, cut them into pieces, and sent them throughout all the territory of Israel with the messengers. He said, “Whoever does not come out after Saul and after Samuel, this is what will be done to his oxen.” Then the terror of Yahweh fell on the people, and they came out together as one man.
Pa uze dva vola, i isijeèe ih na komade, i razasla ih u sve krajeve Izrailjeve po istijem poslanicima poruèivši: ko ne poðe za Saulom i za Samuilom, ovako æe biti s govedima njegovijem. I strah Gospodnji popade narod, te izidoše jednodušno.
8 When he mustered them at Bezek, the people of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.
I izbroji ih u Vezeku, i bješe sinova Izrailjevijeh trista tisuæa, a sinova Judinijeh trideset tisuæa.
9 They said to the messengers that came, “You will tell the men of Jabesh Gilead, 'Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, you will be rescued.'” So the messengers went and told the men of Jabesh, and they were glad.
Potom rekoše poslanicima koji bijahu došli: ovako recite ljudima u Javisu Galadovu: sjutra æete se izbaviti, kad ogrije sunce. I poslanici se vratiše, i javiše ovo Javišanima, i oni se obradovaše.
10 Then the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, “Tomorrow we will surrender to you, and you can do to us whatever seems good to you.”
I rekoše Javišani Amoncima: sjutra æemo izaæi k vama, da uèinite od nas što vam bude drago.
11 The next day Saul put the people in three groups. They came into the middle of the camp during the morning watch, and they attacked and defeated the Ammonites until the heat of the day. Those who survived were scattered, so that no two of them were left together.
I sjutradan razdijeli Saul narod u tri èete, i uðoše usred okola o jutrenjoj straži, i biše Amonce dokle sunce ne ogrija, i koji ostaše, raspršaše se da ne ostaše ni dvojica zajedno.
12 Then the people said to Samuel, “Who was it who said, 'Will Saul reign over us?' Bring the men, so we can put them to death.”
Tada reèe narod Samuilu: koji je ono što reèe: eda li æe Saul carovati nad nama? dajte ih da ih pogubimo.
13 But Saul said, “No one must be put to death this day, because today Yahweh has rescued Israel.”
Ali Saul reèe: da se ne pogubi danas niko, jer je danas Gospod uèinio spasenje u Izrailju.
14 Then Samuel said to the people, “Come, let us go to Gilgal and renew the monarchy there.”
Tad Samuilo reèe narodu: hajdete da idemo u Galgal, da ondje ponovimo carstvo.
15 So all the people went to Gilgal and made Saul king before Yahweh in Gilgal. There they sacrificed peace offerings before Yahweh, and Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
I sav narod otide u Galgal, i postaviše ondje Saula carem pred Gospodom u Galgalu, i ondje prinesoše žrtve zahvalne pred Gospodom. I proveseli se ondje Saul i sav Izrailj veoma.
