Judges 21
1 And the men of Israel have sworn in Mizpeh, saying, 'None of us doth give his daughter to Benjamin for a wife.'
A sinovi Izrailjevi bijahu se zakleli u Mispi rekavši: nijedan izmeðu nas da ne da kæeri svoje za ženu sinu Venijaminovu.
2 And the people come in to Beth-El, and sit there till the evening before God, and lift up their voice, and weep — a great weeping,
Zato otide narod k domu Božijemu, i ostaše ondje do veèera pred Bogom, i podigavši glas svoj plakaše vrlo,
3 and say, 'Why, O Jehovah, God of Israel, hath this been in Israel — to be lacking to-day, from Israel, one tribe?'
I rekoše: zašto se, Gospode Bože Izrailjev, dogodi ovo u Izrailju, danas da nestane jednoga plemena iz Izrailja?
4 And it cometh to pass on the morrow, that the people rise early, and build there an altar, and cause to ascend burnt-offerings and peace-offerings.
I sjutradan urani narod, i naèini ondje oltar, i prinesoše žrtve paljenice i žrtve zahvalne.
5 And the sons of Israel say, 'Who [is] he that hath not come up in the assembly out of all the tribes of Israel unto Jehovah?' for the great oath hath been concerning him who hath not come up unto Jehovah to Mizpeh, saying, 'He is surely put to death.'
Tada rekoše sinovi Izrailjevi: ima li ko da nije došao na zbor iz svijeh plemena Izrailjevijeh ka Gospodu? Jer se bijahu teško zakleli za onoga ko ne doðe u Mispu ka Gospodu rekavši: da se pogubi.
6 And the sons of Israel repent concerning Benjamin their brother, and say, 'There hath been to-day cut off one tribe from Israel,
Jer se sinovima Izrailjevijem sažali za Venijaminom bratom njihovijem, i rekoše: danas se istrijebi jedno pleme iz Izrailja.
7 what do we do for them — for those who are left — for wives, and we — we have sworn by Jehovah not to give to them of our daughters for wives?'
Šta æemo èiniti s onima što su ostali da bi imali žene, kad se zaklesmo Gospodom da im ne damo kæeri svojih za žene?
8 And they say, 'Who is [that] one out of the tribes of Israel who hath not come up unto Jehovah to Mizpeh?' and lo, none hath come in unto the camp from Jabesh-Gilead — unto the assembly.
Pa rekoše: ima li ko iz plemena Izrailjevijeh da nije došao u Mispu ka Gospodu? I gle, ne bješe došao na vojsku, na zbor, niko iz Javisa Galadova.
9 And the people numbered themselves, and lo, there is not there a man of the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead.
Jer kad se narod prebroji, gle, ne bješe ondje nijednoga od onijeh koji žive u Javisu Galadovu.
10 And the company send there twelve thousand men of the sons of valour, and command them, saying, 'Go — and ye have smitten the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead by the mouth of the sword, even the women and the infants.
Zato posla zbor onamo dvanaest tisuæa hrabrijeh ljudi, i zapovjedi im govoreæi: idite i pobijte stanovnike u Javisu Galadovu oštrijem maèem i žene i djecu.
11 And this [is] the thing which ye do; every male, and every woman knowing the lying of a male, ye devote.'
Ovo æete dakle uèiniti: sve muškinje i sve ženskinje što je poznalo èovjeka pobijte.
12 And they find out of the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead four hundred young women, virgins, who have not known man by the lying of a male, and they bring them in unto the camp at Shiloh, which [is] in the land of Canaan.
I naðoše meðu stanovnicima Javisa Galadova èetiri stotine djevojaka, koje ne bjehu poznale èovjeka, i dovedoše ih u oko u Silom, koji je u zemlji Hananskoj.
13 And all the company send, and speak, unto the sons of Benjamin who [are] in the rock Rimmon, and proclaim to them peace;
Tada posla sav zbor, te govoriše sinovima Venijaminovijem koji bjehu u stijeni Rimonu, i objaviše im mir.
14 and Benjamin turneth back at that time, and they give to them the women whom they have kept alive of the women of Jabesh-Gilead, and they have not found for [all of] them so.
Tako se vratiše sinovi Venijaminovi u to vrijeme, i dadoše im žene koje ostaviše u životu izmeðu žena iz Javisa Galadova; ali ih ne bješe dosta za njih.
15 And the people repented concerning Benjamin, for Jehovah had made a breach among the tribes of Israel.
A narodu bješe žao Venijamina što Gospod okrnji plemena Izrailjeva.
16 And the elders of the company say, 'What do we do to the remnant for wives — for the women have been destroyed out of Benjamin?'
Pa rekoše starješine od zbora: šta æemo èiniti s ovima što su ostali da bi imali žene? jer su izginule žene u plemenu Venijaminovu.
17 And they say, 'A possession of an escaped party [is] to Benjamin, and a tribe is not blotted out from Israel;
Potom rekoše: našljedstvo Venijaminovo pripada onima što su ostali, da se ne bi zatrlo pleme iz Izrailja.
18 and we — we are not able to give to them wives out of our daughters, for the sons of Israel have sworn, saying, Cursed [is] he who is giving a wife to Benjamin.'
A mi im ne možemo dati žena izmeðu kæeri svojih; jer su se zakleli sinovi Izrailjevi rekavši: da je proklet ko da ženu sinovima Venijaminovijem.
19 And they say, 'Lo, a festival of Jehovah [is] in Shiloh, from time to time, which [is] on the north of Beth-El, at the rising of the sun, by the highway which is going up from Beth-El to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah.'
Potom rekoše: evo, godišnji je praznik Gospodnji u Silomu, koji je sa sjevera Vetilju, k istoku, na putu koji ide od Vetilja u Sihem, i s juga Levoni.
20 And they command the sons of Benjamin, saying, 'Go — and ye have laid wait in the vineyards,
I zapovjediše sinovima Venijaminovijem govoreæi: idite, i zasjedite po vinogradima.
21 and have seen, and lo, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in dances — then ye have gone out from the vineyards, and caught for you each his wife out of the daughters of Shiloh, and gone to the land of Benjamin;
I pazite: pa kad izidu kæeri Silomske da igraju, izidite iz vinograda i otmite svaki sebi ženu izmeðu kæeri Silomskih; i idite u zemlju Venijaminovu.
22 and it hath been, when their fathers or their brethren come in to plead unto us, that we have said unto them, Favour us [by] them, for we have not taken [to] each his wife in battle, for ye — ye have not given to them at this time [that] ye are guilty.'
A kad doðu oci njihovi ili braæa njihova k nama da se sude, mi æemo im kazati: smilujte im se nas radi, jer u ovom ratu nijesmo zarobili žene za svakoga njih; a vi im nijeste dali, i tako neæete biti krivi.
23 And the sons of Benjamin do so, and take women according to their number, out of the dancers whom they have taken violently away; and they go, and turn back unto their inheritance, and build the cities, and dwell in them.
Tada sinovi Venijaminovi uèiniše tako, i dovedoše žene prema broju svom izmeðu igraèica koje oteše, i otišavši vratiše se na našljedstvo svoje, i sazidaše opet gradove i naseliše se u njima.
24 And the sons of Israel go up and down thence at that time, each to his tribe, and to his family; and they go out thence each to his inheritance.
I tako razidoše se sinovi Izrailjevi odande u ono vrijeme svaki u svoje pleme i u porodicu svoju, i otidoše odande svaki na svoje našljedstvo.
25 In those days there is no king in Israel; each doth that which is right in his own eyes.
U ono vrijeme ne bješe cara u Izrailju; svaki èinjaše što mu bješe drago.
