1 Samuel 11

1 And Nahash the Ammonite cometh up, and encampeth against Jabesh-Gilead, and all the men of Jabesh say unto Nahash, 'Make with us a covenant, and we serve thee.'

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 And Nahash the Ammonite saith unto them, 'For this I covenant with you, by picking out to you every right eye — and I have put it a reproach 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 And the elders of Jabesh say to him, 'Let us alone seven days, and we send messengers into all the border of Israel: and if there is none saving us — then we have come out unto thee.'

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 And the messengers come to Gibeah of Saul, and speak the words in the ears of the people, and all the people lift up their voice and weep;

I doðoše poslanici u Gavaju Saulovu, i kazaše ove rijeèi narodu; tada sav narod podiže glas svoj, i plakahu.

5 and lo, Saul hath come after the herd out of the field, and Saul saith, 'What — to the people, that they weep?' and they recount to him the words of the men of Jabesh.

A gle, Saul iðaše za govedima svojim iz polja, i reèe: šta je narodu te plaèe? I kazaše mu šta su poruèili Javišani.

6 And the Spirit of God doth prosper over Saul, in his hearing these words, and his anger burneth greatly,

Tada siðe duh Božji na Saula kad èu te rijeèi, i on se razgnjevi vrlo.

7 and he taketh a couple of oxen, and cutteth them in pieces, and sendeth through all the border of Israel, by the hand of the messengers, saying, 'He who is not coming out after Saul and after Samuel — thus it is done to his oxen;' and the fear of Jehovah falleth on the people, and they come out 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 And he inspecteth them in Bezek, and the sons of Israel are 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 And they say to the messengers who are coming, 'Thus do ye say to the men of Jabesh-Gilead: To-morrow ye have safety — by the heat of the sun;' and the messengers come and declare to the men of Jabesh, and they rejoice;

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 and the men of Jabesh say [to the Ammonites], 'To-morrow we come out unto you, and ye have done to us according to all that [is] good in your eyes.'

I rekoše Javišani Amoncima: sjutra æemo izaæi k vama, da uèinite od nas što vam bude drago.

11 And it cometh to pass, on the morrow, that Saul putteth the people in three detachments, and they come into the midst of the camp in the morning-watch, and smite Ammon till the heat of the day; and it cometh to pass that those left are scattered, and there have not been left of them two 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 And the people say unto Samuel, 'Who is he that saith, Saul doth reign over us! give ye up the men, and we 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 And Saul saith, 'There is no man put to death on this day, for to-day hath Jehovah wrought salvation in Israel.'

Ali Saul reèe: da se ne pogubi danas niko, jer je danas Gospod uèinio spasenje u Izrailju.

14 And Samuel saith unto the people, 'Come and we go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there;'

Tad Samuilo reèe narodu: hajdete da idemo u Galgal, da ondje ponovimo carstvo.

15 and all the people go to Gilgal, and cause Saul to reign there before Jehovah in Gilgal, and sacrifice there sacrifices of peace-offerings before Jehovah, and there Saul rejoiceth — and all the men of Israel — very 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.
