Judges 9
1 Forsothe Abymelech, the sone of Gerobaal, yede in to Sichem to the britheren of his modir; and he spak to hem, and to al the kynrede of `the hows of his modir, and seide,
Abimelek, sin Jerubaalov, otiđe u Šekem k braći svoje matere i reče njima i svemu rodu kuće svoje majke:
2 Speke ye to alle the men of Sichem, What is betere to you, that seuenti men, alle the sones of Gerobaal, be lordis of you, whether that o man be lord to you? and also biholde, for Y am youre boon, and youre fleisch.
“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 the britheren of his modir spaken of hym alle these wordis to alle the men of Sichem; and bowiden her hertis aftir Abymelech, and seiden, He is oure brother.
To braća njegove matere prenesoše ostalim šekemskim građanima i njihovo se srce prikloni Abimeleku jer govorahu: “Naš je brat!”
4 And thei yauen to hym seuenti weiytis of siluer of the temple of Baal Berith; and he hiride to hym therof men pore and hauynge no certeyn dwellynge, and thei sueden hym.
I dadoše mu sedamdeset šekela srebra iz hrama Baal-Beritova; time Abimelek unajmi klatež i pustolove koji pođoše za njim.
5 And he cam in to `the hows of his fadir in Ephra, and killide hise britheren the sones of Gerobaal, `seuenti men, on o stoon. And Joathan, the leste sone of Gerobaal, lefte, and was hid.
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 Forsothe alle the men of Sichem, and alle the meynees of the citee of Mello, weren gadirid to gydere, and thei yeden, and maden Abymelech kyng, bysidis the ook that stood in Sichem.
Tada se skupiše svi šekemski građani i sav Bet-Milo te postaviše Abimeleka za kralja kod hrasta koji stoji u Šekemu.
7 And whanne this thing was teld to Joathan, he yede, and stood in the cop of the hil Garisym, and cried with `vois reisid, and seide, Ye men of Sichem, here me, so that God here you.
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 Trees yeden to anoynte a kyng on hem; and tho seiden to the olyue tre, Comaunde thou to vs.
Jednom se zaputila stabla da pomažu kralja koji će vladati nad njima. Pa rekoše maslini: 'Budi nam kraljem!'
9 Whiche answeride, Whether Y may forsake my fatnesse, which bothe Goddis and men vsen, and come, that Y be auaunsid among 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 the trees seiden to the fige tree, Come thou, and take the rewme on vs.
Tad rekoše stabla smokvi: 'Dođi, budi nam kraljem!'
11 Which answeride to hem, Whether Y may forsake my swetnesse and swetteste fruytis, and go that Y be auaunsid among othere trees?
Odgovori im smokva: 'Zar da se odreknem slatkoće i krasnoga ploda svog da bih vladala nad drugim drvećem?'
12 Also `the trees spaken to the vyne, Come thou, and comaunde to vs.
Tad rekoše stabla lozi: 'Dođi, budi nam kraljem!'
13 Which answeride, Whether Y may forsake my wyn, that gladith God and men, and be auaunsid among othere trees?
Odgovori im loza: 'Zar da se odreknem vina što veseli bogove i ljude da bih vladala nad drugim drvećem?'
14 And alle trees seiden to the ramne, ether theue thorn, Come thou, and be lord on vs.
Sva stabla rekoše tad glogu: 'Dođi, budi nam kraljem!'
15 Whiche answeride to hem, If ye maken me verili kyng to you, come ye, and reste vndur my schadewe; sotheli, if ye nylen, fier go out of the ramne, and deuoure the cedris of the Liban.
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 Now therfor if riytfuli and without synne `ye han maad Abymelech kyng on you, and ye han do wel with Jerobaal, and with his hows, and ye han yolde while to the benefices of hym,
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 fauyt for you, and yaf his lijf to perelis, that he schulde delyuere you fro the hond of Madian;
Moj se otac za vas borio izloživši svoj život te vas izbavio iz ruku Midjanaca,
18 and ye han rise now ayens the hows of my fadir, and han slayn hyse sones, seuenti men, on o stoon, and `han maad Abymelech, sone of his handmayde, kyng on the dwelleris of Sichem, for he is youre brother;
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 therfor if ye han do riytfuli, and with out synne with Gerobaal and his hows, to dai be ye glad in Abymelech, and be he glad in you; but if ye han do weiwardli,
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 fier go out `of hym, and waste the dwelleris of Sichem, and the citee of Mello; and fier go out of the men of Sichem, and of the citee of Mello, and deuoure Abymelech.
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 whanne he hadde seide these thingis, he fledde, and yede in to Berara, and dwellide there, for drede of Abymelech, his brother.
Onda Jotam pobježe, skloni se i dođe u Beer, i ondje ostade, jer se bojao svoga brata Abimeleka.
22 And Abymelech regnede on Israel thre yeer.
Abimelek je vladao nad Izraelom tri godine.
23 And the Lord sente the worste spirit bitwixe Abymelech and the dwelleris of Sichem, whiche bigynnen to holde hym abomynable,
Tada Bog posla duh razdora među Abimeleka i šekemske građane i šekemski se građani pobuniše protiv Abimeleka.
24 and to arette the felony of sleyng of seuenti sones of Gerobaal, and the schedyng out of her blood, in to Abymelech her brother, and to othere princes of Sichem, that hadden helpid hym.
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 thei settiden buyschementis ayens hym in the hiynesse of hillis; and the while thei abideden `the comyng of hym, thei hauntiden theftis, and token preies of men passynge forth; and it was teld to Abymelech.
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 Forsothe Gaal, `the sone of Obed, cam with his britheren, and passide in to Siccima; at whos entryng the dwelleris of Sichem weren reisid, and yeden out `in to feeldis,
Gaal, sin Ebedov, dođe sa svojom braćom i nastani se u Šekemu; a šekemski se građani pouzdaše u njega.
27 and wastiden vyneris, and `to-traden grapis; and with cumpeneys of syngeris maad thei entriden in to `the temple of her God, and among metis and drynkis thei cursiden Abymalech, while Gaal,
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 the sone of Obed, criede, Who is this Abymelech? And what is Sichem, that we serue hym? Whether he is not the sone of Jerobaal, and made Zebul his seruaunt prince on the men of Emor, fadir of Sichem? Whi therfor schulen we serue hym?
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 `Y wolde, that sum man yaf this puple vndur myn hond, that Y schulde take awei Abimelech fro the myddis. And it was seid to Abymelech, Gadere thou the multitude of oost, and come thou.
O, kad bih imao ovaj narod u svojoj ruci, protjerao bih Abimeleka i rekao mu: 'Pojačaj svoju vojsku i iziđi u boj!'”
30 For whanne the wordis of Gaal, sone of Obed, weren herd, Zebul, the prynce of the citee, was ful wrooth;
A kad Zebul, gradski načelnik, doznade što je govorio Gaal, sin Ebedov, razgnjevi se.
31 and he sente priueli messangeris to Abymelech, and seide, Lo! Gaal, sone of Obed, cam in to Siccymam, with hise britheren, and he excitith the citee to fiyte ayens thee;
Posla glasnike Abimeleku u Arumu i poruči mu: “Evo, Gaal, sin Ebedov, došao u Šekem sa svojom braćom i bune građane protiv tebe.
32 therfor rise thou bi niyt with the puple, which is with thee, and be thou hid in the feeld;
Zato ustani noću, ti i narod što je s tobom, i stani u zasjedu u polju.
33 and first in the morewtid, whanne the sunne rysith, falle on the citee; forsothe whanne he goth out with his puple ayens thee, do thou to hym that that thou maist.
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 Therfor Abymelech roos with al his oost bi nyyt, and settide buyschementis bisidis Siccimam, in foure placis.
Abimelek usta noću sa svim svojim ljudima i stade u zasjedu oko Šekema u četiri čete.
35 And Gaal, the sone of Obed, yede out, and stood in the entryng of `the yate of the citee. Forsothe Abymelech and al the oost with hym roos fro the place of buyschementis.
Kada je Gaal, sin Ebedov, izišao pred gradska vrata i zaustavio se, Abimelek i njegovi ljudi ustaše iz zasjede.
36 And whanne Gaal hadde seyn the puple, he seide to Zebul, Lo! a multitude cometh doun fro the hillis. To whom he answeride, Thou seest the schadewis of hillis as the `heedis of men, and thou art disseyued bi this errour.
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 eft Gaal seide, Lo! a puple cometh doun fro the myddis of erthe, `that is, fro the hiynesse of hillis, and o cumpeny cometh bi the weie that biholdith the ook.
Opet progovori Gaal: “Eno silaze ljudi s visa zvana Zemljin pupak, a četa jedna dolazi putem od Čarobnjačkog hrasta.”
38 To whom Zebul seide, Where is now thi mouth, bi which thou spekist, Who is Abymelech, that we serue hym? Whether this is not the puple, whom thou dispisidist? Go thou out, and fiyte ayens hym.
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 Therfor Gaal yede, while the puple of Sichen abood; and he fauyt ayens Abymelech.
I Gaal iziđe na čelu šekemskih građana i pobi se s Abimelekom.
40 Which pursuede Gaal fleynge, and constreynede to go in to the citee; and ful many of his part felde doun `til to the yate of the citee.
Abimelek potjera Gaala i on pobježe pred njim; i mnogi njegovi ljudi padoše mrtvi prije nego što su i došli do vrata.
41 And Abymelech sat in Ranna; sotheli Zebul puttide Gaal and hise felowis out of the citee, and suffride not to dwelle ther ynne.
Abimelek se tada vrati u Arumu, a Zebul potjera Gaala i njegovu braću i nije im više dao da ostanu u Šekemu.
42 Therfor in the dai suynge the puple yede out in to the feeld; and whanne this thing was teld to Abymelech,
Sutradan je narod izišao u polje i javiše to Abimeleku.
43 he took his oost, and departide `in to thre cumpenyes, and settide buyschementis in the feeldis; and he siy that the puple yede out of the citee, and he roos,
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 felde on hem with his cumpeny, and enpugnyde and bisegide the citee. Sothely twei cumpenyes yeden aboute opynli bi the feeld, and pursueden aduersaries.
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 Certis Abymelech fauyt ayens the citee in al that dai, which he took, whanne the dwelleris weren slayn, and that citee was destried, so that he spreynte abrood salt ther ynne.
Čitav je dan Abimelek opsjedao grad. Zauzevši ga, poubija sve stanovništvo, razori grad i posu sol po njemu.
46 And whanne thei, that dwelliden in the tour of Sichem, hadde herd this, thei entriden in to the temple of her god Berith, where thei hadden maad boond of pees with hym; and of that the place took name, which place was ful strong.
Kad su to čuli gospodari Migdal Šekema, uđoše svi u tvrdi prostor hrama El-Berita.
47 And Abymelech herde the men of the tour of Sichem gaderid to gidere,
Kada je Abimelek doznao da su se svi građani Migdal Šekema ondje sakupili,
48 and he stiede in to the hil Selmon with al his puple; and with an axe takun he kittide doun a boow of a tre, and he bar it, put on the schuldur, and seide to felowis, Do ye this thing, which ye seen me do.
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 Therfor with strijf thei kittiden doun bowis of the trees, and sueden the duyk; whiche cumpassiden and brenten `the tour; and so it was doon, that with smooke and fier a thousynde of men weren slayn, men togidere and wymmen, of the dwelleris of the tour of Sichem.
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 Forsothe Abymelech wente forth fro thennus, and cam to the citee of Thebes, which he cumpasside, and bisegide with an oost.
Potom Abimelek krenu na Tebes, opsjede ga i osvoji.
51 Forsothe the tour was hiy in the myddis of the citee, to which men togidere and wymmen fledden, and alle the princes of the citee, while the yate was closid stronglieste; and thei stoden on the roof of the tour bi toretis.
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 Abymelech cam bisidis the tour, and fauyt strongli, and he neiyede to the dore, and enforside to putte fier vndur; and lo!
Abimelek dođe do kule i napade je. Dok je prilazio vratima kule da je zapali,
53 o womman castide fro aboue a gobet of a mylnestoon, and hurtlide to `the heed of Abymelech, and brak his brayn.
neka žena baci mu žrvanj na glavu i razbi mu lubanju.
54 And he clepide soone his squyer, and seide to hym, Drawe out thi swerd, and sle me, lest perauenture it be seid, that Y am slan of a womman. Which performede `the comaundementis, and `killide Abymelech;
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 whanne he was deed, alle men of Israel that weren with hym turneden ayen to her seetis.
Kad su Izraelci vidjeli da je Abimelek mrtav, svi se vratiše svojim kućama.
56 And God yeldide to Abymelech the yuel that he dide ayens his fadir, for he killide hise seuenti britheren.
Tako je Bog svalio na Abimeleka zlo koje je on učinio svome ocu pobivši sedamdesetero svoje braće.
57 Also that thing was yoldun to men of Sichem, which thei wrouyten, and the curs of Joathan, sone of Jerobaal, cam on hem.
I sve zlo Šekemaca Bog svali na njihove glave i tako ih stiže kletva Jotama, sina Jerubaalova.
