Sudije 20

1 Tada izidoše svi sinovi Izrailjevi, i sabra se sav narod jednodušno, od Dana do Virsaveje i do zemlje Galadove, ka Gospodu u Mispu.

Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation was gathered together as one man, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, with the land of Gilead, unto the LORD in Mizpeh.

2 I glavari svega naroda, svijeh plemena Izrailjevijeh, doðoše na zbor naroda Božijega, èetiri stotine tisuæa ljudi pješaka koji mahahu maèem.

And the chief of all the people, [even] of all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen that drew sword.

3 A sinovi Venijaminovi èuše da su sinovi Izrailjevi otišli u Mispu. Sinovi Izrailjevi rekoše: kažite kako se dogodilo to zlo.

(Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel were gone up to Mizpeh.) Then said the children of Israel, Tell [us], how was this wickedness?

4 A Levit, muž ubijene žene, odgovori i reèe: doðoh s inoèom svojom u Gavaju Venijaminovu da prenoæim.

And the Levite, the husband of the woman that was slain, answered and said, I came into Gibeah that [belongeth] to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge.

5 A Gavajani ustaše na me, opkoliše me u kuæi noæu, i htješe me ubiti; i inoèu moju zlostaviše tako da umrije.

And the men of Gibeah rose against me, and beset the house round about upon me by night, [and] thought to have slain me: and my concubine have they forced, that she is dead.

6 Zato uzev inoèu svoju isjekoh je na komade i razaslah je u sve krajeve našljedstva Izrailjeva; jer uèiniše grdilo i sramotu u Izrailju.

And I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel: for they have committed lewdness and folly in Israel.

7 Eto, vi ste svi sinovi Izrailjevi; promislite i vijeæajte.

Behold, ye [are] all children of Israel; give here your advice and counsel.

8 A sav narod usta jednodušno i reèe: da ne idemo nijedan k šatoru svojemu, i nijedan da se ne vraæa kuæi svojoj.

And all the people arose as one man, saying, We will not any [of us] go to his tent, neither will we any [of us] turn into his house.

9 Nego ovo da uèinimo Gavaji: da bacimo ždrijeb za nju.

But now this [shall be] the thing which we will do to Gibeah; [we will go up] by lot against it;

10 Da uzmemo po deset ljudi od stotine po svijem plemenima Izrailjevijem, i po stotinu od tisuæe, i po tisuæu od deset tisuæa, da donese hranu narodu, a on da ide da uèini Gavaji Venijaminovoj kako je zaslužila grdilom koje je uèinila Izrailju.

And we will take ten men of an hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and an hundred of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to fetch victual for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly that they have wrought in Israel.

11 I skupi se sav narod Izrailjev na onaj grad složivši se jednodušno.

So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, knit together as one man.

12 Tada poslaše plemena Izrailjeva ljude u sve porodice Venijaminove, i poruèiše im: kakvo se to zlo uèini meðu vama?

And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, What wickedness [is] this that is done among you?

13 Sada dajte te bezakonike što su u Gavaji, da ih pogubimo i izvadimo zlo iz Izrailja. Ali ne htješe sinovi Venijaminovi poslušati braæe svoje, sinova Izrailjevijeh.

Now therefore deliver [us] the men, the children of Belial, which [are] in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel. But the children of Benjamin would not hearken to the voice of their brethren the children of Israel:

14 Nego se skupiše sinovi Venijaminovi iz svojih mjesta u Gavaju da izidu da se biju sa sinovima Izrailjevijem.

But the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities unto Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel.

15 I nabroji se u to vrijeme sinova Venijaminovijeh iz njihovijeh gradova dvadeset i šest tisuæa ljudi koji mahahu maèem osim stanovnika Gavajskih, kojih bješe na broj sedam stotina ljudi odabranijeh.

And the children of Benjamin were numbered at that time out of the cities twenty and six thousand men that drew sword, beside the inhabitants of Gibeah, which were numbered seven hundred chosen men.

16 U svem tom narodu bješe sedam stotina ljudi odabranijeh, koji bjehu ljevaci, i svaki gaðaše kamenom iz praæke u dlaku ne promašujuæi.

Among all this people [there were] seven hundred chosen men lefthanded; every one could sling stones at an hair [breadth], and not miss.

17 A ljudi Izrailjaca nabroji se osim sinova Venijaminovijeh èetiri stotine tisuæa ljudi koji mahahu maèem, samijeh vojnika.

And the men of Israel, beside Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men that drew sword: all these [were] men of war.

18 I ustavši otidoše k domu Boga silnoga, i upitaše Boga i rekoše sinovi Izrailjevi: ko æe izmeðu nas iæi prvi u boj na sinove Venijaminove? A Gospod reèe: Juda nek ide prvi.

And the children of Israel arose, and went up to the house of God, and asked counsel of God, and said, Which of us shall go up first to the battle against the children of Benjamin? And the LORD said, Judah [shall go up] first.

19 Potom ustavši rano sinovi Izrailjevi stadoše u oko prema Gavaji.

And the children of Israel rose up in the morning, and encamped against Gibeah.

20 I izidoše sinovi Izrailjevi u boj na sinove Venijaminove, i uvrstaše se sinovi Izrailjevi da udare na Gavaju.

And the men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin; and the men of Israel put themselves in array to fight against them at Gibeah.

21 A sinovi Venijaminovi izidoše iz Gavaje, i povaljaše po zemlji izmeðu Izrailjaca u onaj dan dvadeset i dvije tisuæe ljudi.

And the children of Benjamin came forth out of Gibeah, and destroyed down to the ground of the Israelites that day twenty and two thousand men.

22 Ali se narod sinova Izrailjevijeh oslobodi, te se opet uvrstaše na istom mjestu gdje se bijahu uvrstali prvoga dana.

And the people the men of Israel encouraged themselves, and set their battle again in array in the place where they put themselves in array the first day.

23 Jer sinovi Izrailjevi otidoše te plakaše pred Gospodom do veèera, i upitaše Gospoda govoreæi: hoæemo li opet izaæi u boj na sinove Venijamina brata svojega? A Gospod im reèe: izidite na njih.

(And the children of Israel went up and wept before the LORD until even, and asked counsel of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up again to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother? And the LORD said, Go up against him.)

24 I izidoše sinovi Izrailjevi na sinove Venijaminove drugi dan.

And the children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin the second day.

25 I sinovi Venijaminovi izidoše pred njih iz Gavaje drugi dan; i povaljaše po zemlji izmeðu sinova Izrailjevijeh opet osamnaest tisuæa ljudi, koji svi mahahu maèem.

And Benjamin went forth against them out of Gibeah the second day, and destroyed down to the ground of the children of Israel again eighteen thousand men; all these drew the sword.

26 Tada svi sinovi Izrailjevi i sav narod izidoše i doðoše k domu Boga silnoga, i plakaše i stajaše ondje pred Gospodom, i postiše se onaj dan do veèera, i prinesoše žrtve paljenice i žrtve zahvalne pred Gospodom.

Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came unto the house of God, and wept, and sat there before the LORD, and fasted that day until even, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.

27 Pa upitaše sinovi Izrailjevi Gospoda; jer ondje bijaše kovèeg zavjeta Božijega u ono vrijeme;

And the children of Israel enquired of the LORD, (for the ark of the covenant of God [was] there in those days,

28 I Fines sin Eleazara sina Aronova stajaše pred njim u ono vrijeme. I rekoše: hoæemo li opet izaæi u boj na sinove Venijamina brata svojega ili æemo se okaniti? A Gospod im reèe: izidite, jer æu ih sjutra predati vama u ruke.

And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days, ) saying, Shall I yet again go out to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease? And the LORD said, Go up; for to morrow I will deliver them into thine hand.

29 Tada namjesti Izrailj zasjede oko Gavaje.

And Israel set liers in wait round about Gibeah.

30 I sinovi Izrailjevi izidoše treæi dan na sinove Venijaminove, i uvrstaše se prema Gavaji kao prvom i drugom.

And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and put themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times.

31 A sinovi Venijaminovi izašavši pred narod odvojiše se od grada, i stadoše biti i sjeæi narod kao prvom i drugom po putovima, od kojih jedan ide k domu Boga silnoga a drugi u Gavaju, i po polju, i ubiše do trideset ljudi iz Izrailja.

And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, [and] were drawn away from the city; and they began to smite of the people, [and] kill, as at other times, in the highways, of which one goeth up to the house of God, and the other to Gibeah in the field, about thirty men of Israel.

32 I rekoše sinovi Venijaminovi: padaju pred nama kao prije. A sinovi Izrailjevi rekoše: da bježimo da ih otrgnemo od grada na putove.

And the children of Benjamin said, They [are] smitten down before us, as at the first. But the children of Israel said, Let us flee, and draw them from the city unto the highways.

33 Tada svi sinovi Izrailjevi kretoše se sa svojega mjesta i uvrstaše se u Val-Tamaru; i zasjede Izrailjeve iskoèiše iz mjesta svojega, iz luka Gavajskih.

And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and put themselves in array at Baal-tamar: and the liers in wait of Israel came forth out of their places, [even] out of the meadows of Gibeah.

34 I doðe na Gavaju deset tisuæa ljudi izabranijeh iz svega Izrailja, i boj posta žešæi, a oni ne opaziše da æe ih zlo zadesiti.

And there came against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was sore: but they knew not that evil [was] near them.

35 I Gospod pobi Venijamina pred Izrailjem, i sinovi Izrailjevi pogubiše onaj dan od sinova Venijaminovijeh dvadeset i pet tisuæa i sto ljudi, koji svi maèem mahahu.

And the LORD smote Benjamin before Israel: and the children of Israel destroyed of the Benjamites that day twenty and five thousand and an hundred men: all these drew the sword.

36 I sinovi Venijaminovi vidješe da su nadbijeni: jer sinovi Izrailjevi uzmakoše ispred sinova Venijaminovijeh uzdajuæi se u zasjede koje bijahu namjestili kod Gavaje;

So the children of Benjamin saw that they were smitten: for the men of Israel gave place to the Benjamites, because they trusted unto the liers in wait which they had set beside Gibeah.

37 A oni što bijahu u zasjedi navališe brže u Gavaju, i ušavši isjekoše sve po gradu oštrijem maèem.

And the liers in wait hasted, and rushed upon Gibeah; and the liers in wait drew [themselves] along, and smote all the city with the edge of the sword.

38 A bijahu sinovi Izrailjevi ugovorili s onima u zasjedi da za znak zapale vatru da se digne velik dim iz grada.

Now there was an appointed sign between the men of Israel and the liers in wait, that they should make a great flame with smoke rise up out of the city.

39 Tako sinovi Izrailjevi stadoše bježati iz boja, a sinovi Venijaminovi poèeše ubijati, i isjekoše do trideset ljudi izmeðu sinova Izrailjevijeh govoreæi: doista padaju pred nama kao u preðašnjem boju.

And when the men of Israel retired in the battle, Benjamin began to smite [and] kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons: for they said, Surely they are smitten down before us, as [in] the first battle.

40 Ali kad se plamen i dim kao stup diže iz grada, obazreše se sinovi Venijaminovi, i gle, oganj se iz grada dizaše do neba.

But when the flame began to arise up out of the city with a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them, and, behold, the flame of the city ascended up to heaven.

41 Tada se vratiše sinovi Izrailjevi, a sinovi Venijaminovi smetoše se videæi da ih je zlo zadesilo;

And when the men of Israel turned again, the men of Benjamin were amazed: for they saw that evil was come upon them.

42 I pobjegoše ispred sinova Izrailjevijeh k pustinji; ali ih vojska gonjaše, i koji iz gradova izlažahu, biše ih meðu sobom.

Therefore they turned [their backs] before the men of Israel unto the way of the wilderness; but the battle overtook them; and them which [came] out of the cities they destroyed in the midst of them.

43 Tako opkoliše sinove Venijaminove, goniše ih, tlaèiše ih od Menuje do Gavaje k istoku.

[Thus] they inclosed the Benjamites round about, [and] chased them, [and] trode them down with ease over against Gibeah toward the sunrising.

44 I pogibe sinova Venijaminovijeh osamnaest tisuæa ljudi, samijeh junaka.

And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men; all these [were] men of valour.

45 A onijeh što se okretoše i pobjegoše u pustinju k stijeni Rimonu, napabirèiše ih po putovima pet tisuæa ljudi, i tjeraše ih do Gidoma i pobiše ih dvije tisuæe ljudi.

And they turned and fled toward the wilderness unto the rock of Rimmon: and they gleaned of them in the highways five thousand men; and pursued hard after them unto Gidom, and slew two thousand men of them.

46 I tako svega pogibe onaj dan sinova Venijaminovijeh dvadeset i pet tisuæa ljudi koji mahahu maèem, sve samijeh junaka.

So that all which fell that day of Benjamin were twenty and five thousand men that drew the sword; all these [were] men of valour.

47 I bješe šest stotina ljudi koji se okretoše i utekoše u pustinju k stijeni Rimonu, i ostaše na stijeni Rimonu èetiri mjeseca.

But six hundred men turned and fled to the wilderness unto the rock Rimmon, and abode in the rock Rimmon four months.

48 Potom sinovi Izrailjevi vrativši se k sinovima Venijaminovijem isjekoše oštrijem maèem i ljude po gradovima i stoku i što se god naðe; i sve gradove koji ostaše popališe ognjem.

And the men of Israel turned again upon the children of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, as well the men of [every] city, as the beast, and all that came to hand: also they set on fire all the cities that they came to.
