Judges 3
1 And these [are] the nations which Jehovah left, to try Israel by them, all who have 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 for the sake of the generations of the sons of Israel's knowing, to teach them war, only those who formerly have not known them) —
Da bi barem natražje sinova Izrailjevijeh znalo i razumjelo što je rat, barem oni koji od prije nijesu znali:
3 five princes of the Philistines, and all the Canaanite, and the Zidonian, and the Hivite inhabiting mount Lebanon, from mount Baal-Hermon unto the entering in of Hamath;
Pet kneževina Filistejskih, i svi Hananeji i Sidonci i Jeveji, koji življahu na gori Livanu od gore Val-Ermona do Emata.
4 and they are to prove Israel by them, to know whether they obey the commands of Jehovah that He commanded their fathers by the hand of 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 And the sons of Israel have dwelt in the midst of the Canaanite, the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite,
I življahu sinovi Izrailjevi usred Hananeja i Heteja i Amoreja i Ferezeja i Jeveja i Jevuseja.
6 and take their daughters to them for wives, and their daughters have given to their sons, and they serve their gods;
I ženjahu se kæerima njihovijem i udavahu kæeri svoje za sinove njihove, i služahu bogovima njihovijem.
7 and the sons of Israel do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and forget Jehovah their God, and serve the Baalim and the shrines.
I èinjahu sinovi Izrailjevi što je zlo pred Gospodom, i zaboraviše Gospoda Boga svojega i služahu Valima i lugovima.
8 And the anger of Jehovah burneth against Israel, and He selleth them into the hand of Chushan-Rishathaim king of Aram-Naharaim, and the sons of Israel serve Chushan-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 and the sons of Israel cry unto Jehovah, and Jehovah raiseth a saviour to the sons of Israel, and he saveth them — Othniel 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 and the Spirit of Jehovah is upon him, and he judgeth Israel, and goeth out to battle, and Jehovah giveth unto his hand Chushan-Rishathaim king of Aram, and strong is his hand against Chushan-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 and the land resteth forty years. And Othniel son of Kenaz dieth,
I zemlja bi mirna èetrdeset godina. Potom umrije Gotonilo sin Kenezov.
12 and the sons of Israel add to do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah; and Jehovah strengtheneth Eglon king of Moab against Israel, because that they have done the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah;
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 and he gathereth unto him the Bene-Ammon and Amalek, and goeth and smiteth Israel, and they possess the city of palms;
Jer skupi k sebi sinove Amonove i Amalike, i izašavši pobi Izrailja, i osvojiše grad palmov.
14 and the sons of Israel serve Eglon king of Moab eighteen years.
I sinovi Izrailjevi služiše Eglonu caru Moavskom osamnaest godina.
15 And the sons of Israel cry unto Jehovah, and Jehovah raiseth to them a saviour, Ehud son of Gera, a Benjamite (a man — shut of his right hand), and the sons of Israel send by his hand a present to Eglon 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 and Ehud maketh for himself a sword, and it hath two mouths (a cubit [is] its length), and he girdeth it under his long robe 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 and he bringeth near the present to Eglon king of Moab, and Eglon [is] a very fat man.
I odnese dar Eglonu caru Moavskom; a Eglon bješe èovjek vrlo debeo.
18 And it cometh to pass, when he hath finished to bring near the present, that he sendeth away the people bearing the present,
I kad predade dar, otpusti ljude koji su nosili dar.
19 and he himself hath turned back from the graven images which [are] at Gilgal, and saith, 'A secret word I have unto thee, O king;' and he saith, 'Hush!' and go out from him do all those standing by 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 And Ehud hath come unto him, and he is sitting in the upper chamber of the wall which he hath for himself, and Ehud saith, 'A word of God I have unto thee;' and he riseth from off the throne;
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 and Ehud putteth forth his left hand, and taketh the sword from off his right thigh, and striketh it into his belly;
A Aod poteže lijevom rukom svojom i uze maè od desne bedrice, i satjera mu ga u trbuh,
22 and the haft also goeth in after the blade, and the fat shutteth on the blade, that he hath not drawn the sword out of his belly, and it goeth out at the fundament.
I držak uðe za maèem, i salo se sklopi za maèem, te ne može izvuæi maèa iz trbuha; i izide neèist.
23 And Ehud goeth out at the porch, and shutteth the doors of the upper chamber upon him, and hath bolted [it];
Potom izide Aod iz sobe, i zatvori vrata za sobom i zakljuèa.
24 and he hath gone out, and his servants have come in, and look, and lo, the doors of the upper chamber are bolted, and they say, 'He is only covering his feet in the inner chamber of the wall.'
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 And they stay till confounded, and lo, he is not opening the doors of the upper chamber, and they take the key, and open, and lo, their lord is fallen to the earth — dead.
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 And Ehud escaped during their tarrying, and hath passed by the images, and is escaped to Seirath.
A Aod dokle se oni zabaviše pobježe i proðe likove kamene, i uteèe u Seirot.
27 And it cometh to pass, in his coming in, that he bloweth with a trumpet in the hill-country of Ephraim, and go down with him do the sons of Israel from the hill-country, and he before them;
I kad doðe, zatrubi u trubu u gori Jefremovoj; i sidoše s njim sinovi Izrailjevi s gore, a on naprijed.
28 and he saith unto them, 'Pursue after me, for Jehovah hath given your enemies, the Moabites, into your hand;' and they go down after him, and capture the passages of the Jordan towards Moab, and have not permitted a 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 And they smite Moab at that time, about ten thousand men, all robust, and every one a man of valour, and not a man hath escaped,
I tada pobiše Moavce, oko deset tisuæa ljudi, sve bogate i hrabre, i nijedan ne uteèe.
30 and Moab is humbled in that day under the hand of Israel; and the land resteth eighty years.
Tako u taj dan potpadoše Moavci pod ruku Izrailjevu; i zemlja bi mirna osamdeset godina.
31 And after him hath been Shamgar son of Anath, and he smiteth the Philistines — six hundred men — with an ox-goad, and he saveth — he also — Israel.
A poslije njega nasta Samegar sin Anatov, i pobi šest stotina Filisteja ostanom volujskim, i izbavi i on Izrailja.
