Judges 11
1 Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty warrior, but he was the son of a prostitute. Gilead was his father.
A Jeftaj od Galada bijaše hrabar junak, ali sin jedne kurve, s kojom Galad rodi Jeftaja.
2 Gilead's wife also gave birth to his other sons. When his wife's sons grew up, they forced Jephthah to leave the house and said to him, “You are not going to inherit anything from our family. 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 So Jephthah fled from his brothers and lived in the land of Tob. Lawless men joined Jephthah and they came and went 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 Some days later, the people of Ammon made war against Israel.
A poslije nekoga vremena zavojštiše sinovi Amonovi na Izrailja;
5 When the people of Ammon made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to bring Jephthah back from the land of Tob.
I kad zavojštiše sinovi Amonovi na Izrailja, otidoše starješine Galadske da dovedu Jeftaja iz zemlje Tova.
6 They said to Jephthah, “Come and be our leader that we may fight with the people of Ammon.”
I rekoše Jeftaju: hodi i budi nam vojvoda, da vojujemo sa sinovima Amonovijem.
7 Jephthah said to the leaders of Gilead, “You hated me and forced me to leave my father's house. Why do you come to me now when you are in trouble?”
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, “That is why we are turning to you now; come with us and fight with the people of Ammon, and you will become the leader over all who live in 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 against the people of Ammon, and if Yahweh gives us victory over them, I will be your leader.”
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, “May Yahweh be witness between us if we do not do as we say!”
A starješine Galadske rekoše Jeftaju: Gospod neka bude svjedok meðu nama, ako ne uèinimo kako si kazao.
11 So Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him leader and commander over them. When he was before Yahweh in Mizpah, Jephthah repeated all the promises he made.
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 Then Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the people of Ammon, saying, “What is this conflict between us? Why have you come with force to take our 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 The king of the people of Ammon answered to the messengers of Jephthah, “Because when Israel came up out of Egypt, they seized my land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, over to the Jordan. Now give back those lands in peace.”
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 Again Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the people of Ammon,
Ali Jeftaj posla opet poslanike k caru sinova Amonovijeh,
15 and he said, “This is what Jephthah says: Israel did not take the land of Moab and the land of the people of Ammon,
I poruèi mu: ovako veli Jeftaj: nije uzeo Izrailj zemlje Moavske ni zemlje sinova Amonovijeh.
16 but they came up from Egypt, and Israel went through the wilderness to the Sea of Reeds and on to Kadesh.
Nego izašavši iz Misira prijeðe Izrailj preko pustinje do Crvenoga Mora i doðe do Kadisa.
17 When Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, 'Please let us pass through your land,' the king of Edom would not listen. They also sent messengers to the king of Moab, but he refused. So Israel stayed at 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 turned away from the land of Edom and the land of Moab, and they went along the east side of the land of Moab and they camped on the other side of the Arnon. But they did not go into the territory of Moab, for the Arnon was Moab's border.
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, who ruled in Heshbon; Israel said to him, 'Please, let us pass through your land to the place that is ours.'
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. So Sihon gathered all his army together and moved it to Jahaz, and there he 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 Then Yahweh, the God of Israel, gave Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel and they defeated them. So Israel took all the land of the Amorites who lived in 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 took over everything within the territory of the Amorites, from the Arnon to the Jabbok, and from the wilderness to the Jordan.
Zadobiše svu zemlju Amorejsku od Arnona do Javoka, i od pustinje do Jordana.
23 So then Yahweh, the God of Israel, has driven out the Amorites before his people Israel, and should you now take possession of their land?
Tako je dakle Gospod Bog Izrailjev otjerao Amoreje ispred naroda svojega Izrailja, pa ti li hoæeš da je zemlja njihova tvoja?
24 Will you not take over the land that Chemosh, your god, gives you? So whatever land Yahweh our God has given us, we will take over.
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 Now are you really better than Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he dare to have an argument with Israel? Did he ever wage war 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 for three hundred years in Heshbon and its villages, and in Aroer and its villages, and in all the cities that are along the banks of the Arnon—why then did you not take them back during 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 have not done you wrong, but you are doing me wrong by attacking me. Yahweh, the judge, will decide today between the people 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 But the king of the people of Ammon rejected the warning Jephthah sent him.
Ali car sinova Amonovijeh ne posluša rijeèi koje mu poruèi Jeftaj.
29 Then the Spirit of Yahweh came on Jephthah, and he passed through Gilead and Manasseh, and passed through Mizpah of Gilead, and from Mizpah of Gilead he passed through 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 Yahweh and said, “If you give me victory over the people of Ammon,
I zavjetova Jeftaj zavjet Gospodu i reèe: ako mi daš sinove Amonove u ruke,
31 then whatever comes out of the doors of my house to meet me when I return in peace from the people of Ammon will belong to Yahweh, and I will offer it up as 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 through to the people of Ammon to fight against them, and Yahweh gave him victory.
I tako doðe Jeftaj do sinova Amonovijeh da se bije s njima; i Gospod mu ih dade u ruke.
33 He attacked them and caused a great slaughter from Aroer as far as Minnith—twenty cities—and to Abel Keramim. So the people of Ammon were put under the control of the people 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 his home at Mizpah, and there his daughter came out to meet him with tambourines and with dancing. She was his only child, and 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 As soon as he saw her, he tore his clothes and said, “Oh! My daughter! You have crushed me with sorrow, and you have become one who causes me pain! For I have made an oath to Yahweh, and I cannot turn back on my promise.”
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, you have made a vow to Yahweh, do to me everything you promised, because Yahweh has taken vengeance for you against your enemies, the Ammonites.”
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 promise be kept for me. Leave me alone for two months, that I may leave and go down to the hills and grieve over 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. She left him, she and her companions, and they grieved her virginity in the hills.
A on joj reèe: idi. I pusti je na dva mjeseca, i ona otide s drugama svojim i oplakiva djevojaštvo svoje po gorama.
39 At the end of two months she returned to her father, who did with her according to the promise of the vow he had made. Now she had never slept with a man, and 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 every year, for four days, would retell the story of 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.
