Judges 3
1 Now these are the nations which Yahweh left, to test Israel by them, even as many as had not known all the wars of Canaan;
A ovo su narodi koje ostavi Gospod da njima kuša Izrailja, sve one koji ne znahu za ratove Hananske,
2 only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at least those who knew nothing of it before:
Da bi barem natražje sinova Izrailjevijeh znalo i razumjelo što je rat, barem oni koji od prije nijesu znali:
3 the five lords of the Philistines, all the Canaanites, the Sidonians, and the Hivites who lived on Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal Hermon to the entrance of Hamath.
Pet kneževina Filistejskih, i svi Hananeji i Sidonci i Jeveji, koji življahu na gori Livanu od gore Val-Ermona do Emata.
4 They were left to test Israel by them, to know whether they would listen to Yahweh’s commandments, which he commanded their fathers by Moses.
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 children of Israel lived among the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
I življahu sinovi Izrailjevi usred Hananeja i Heteja i Amoreja i Ferezeja i Jeveja i Jevuseja.
6 They took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their own daughters to their sons and served their gods.
I ženjahu se kæerima njihovijem i udavahu kæeri svoje za sinove njihove, i služahu bogovima njihovijem.
7 The children of Israel did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and forgot Yahweh their God, and served the Baals and the Asheroth.
I èinjahu sinovi Izrailjevi što je zlo pred Gospodom, i zaboraviše Gospoda Boga svojega i služahu Valima i lugovima.
8 Therefore Yahweh’s anger burned against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Cushan Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia; and the children of Israel served Cushan Rishathaim 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 When the children of Israel cried to Yahweh, Yahweh raised up a savior to the children of Israel, who saved them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother.
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 on him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war, and Yahweh delivered Cushan Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand. His hand prevailed against Cushan Rishathaim.
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 The land had rest forty years, then Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
I zemlja bi mirna èetrdeset godina. Potom umrije Gotonilo sin Kenezov.
12 The children of Israel again did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and Yahweh strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight.
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 He gathered the children of Ammon and Amalek to himself; and he went and struck Israel, and they possessed the city of palm trees.
Jer skupi k sebi sinove Amonove i Amalike, i izašavši pobi Izrailja, i osvojiše grad palmov.
14 The children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
I sinovi Izrailjevi služiše Eglonu caru Moavskom osamnaest godina.
15 But when the children of Israel cried to Yahweh, Yahweh raised up a savior for them: Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a left-handed man. The children of Israel sent tribute by him to Eglon the king of Moab.
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 made himself a sword which had two edges, a cubit in length; and he wore it under his clothing on his right thigh.
A Aod naèini sebi maè s obje strane oštar, od lakta u dužinu; i pripasa ga pod haljine svoje uz desnu bedricu.
17 He offered the tribute to Eglon king of Moab. Now Eglon was a very fat man.
I odnese dar Eglonu caru Moavskom; a Eglon bješe èovjek vrlo debeo.
18 When Ehud had finished offering the tribute, he sent away the people who carried the tribute.
I kad predade dar, otpusti ljude koji su nosili dar.
19 But he himself turned back from the stone idols 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 left him.
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 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.” He arose out of his seat.
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 put out his left hand, and took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his body.
A Aod poteže lijevom rukom svojom i uze maè od desne bedrice, i satjera mu ga u trbuh,
22 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 body; and it came out behind.
I držak uðe za maèem, i salo se sklopi za maèem, te ne može izvuæi maèa iz trbuha; i izide neèist.
23 Then Ehud went out onto the porch, and shut the doors of the upper room on him, and locked them.
Potom izide Aod iz sobe, i zatvori vrata za sobom i zakljuèa.
24 After he had gone, his servants came and saw that the doors of the upper room were locked. They said, “Surely he is covering his feet in the upper 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 They waited until they were ashamed; and behold, he didn’t open the doors of the upper room. Therefore they took the key and opened them, and behold, their lord had fallen down dead on the floor.
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 Ehud escaped while they waited, passed beyond the stone idols, and escaped to Seirah.
A Aod dokle se oni zabaviše pobježe i proðe likove kamene, i uteèe u Seirot.
27 When he had come, 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 led 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 them, “Follow me; for Yahweh has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand.” They followed him, and took the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites, and didn’t allow any man to pass over.
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 They struck at that time about ten thousand men of Moab, every strong man and every man of valor. No man escaped.
I tada pobiše Moavce, oko deset tisuæa ljudi, sve bogate i hrabre, i nijedan ne uteèe.
30 So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. Then the land had rest eighty years.
Tako u taj dan potpadoše Moavci pod ruku Izrailjevu; i zemlja bi mirna osamdeset godina.
31 After him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who struck six hundred men of the Philistines with an ox goad. He also saved Israel.
A poslije njega nasta Samegar sin Anatov, i pobi šest stotina Filisteja ostanom volujskim, i izbavi i on Izrailja.
