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 assembled as one man, from Dan even to Beersheba, with the land of Gilead, to the LORD at Mizpah.
2 I glavari svega naroda, svijeh plemena Izrailjevijeh, doðoše na zbor naroda Božijega, èetiri stotine tisuæa ljudi pješaka koji mahahu maèem.
The chiefs 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 who 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 had gone up to Mizpah.) The children of Israel said, “Tell us, how did this wickedness happen?”
4 A Levit, muž ubijene žene, odgovori i reèe: doðoh s inoèom svojom u Gavaju Venijaminovu da prenoæim.
The Levite, the husband of the woman who was murdered, answered, “I came into Gibeah that belongs to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to spend the night.
5 A Gavajani ustaše na me, opkoliše me u kuæi noæu, i htješe me ubiti; i inoèu moju zlostaviše tako da umrije.
The men of Gibeah rose against me, and surrounded the house by night. They intended to kill me and they raped my concubine, and 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.
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, you children of Israel, all of you, 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.
All the people arose as one man, saying, “None of us will go to his tent, neither will any of us turn to his house.
9 Nego ovo da uèinimo Gavaji: da bacimo ždrijeb za nju.
But now this is the thing which we will do to Gibeah: we will go up against it by lot;
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 one hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and one hundred of one thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand to get food for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly that the men of Gibeah have done 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?
The tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, “What wickedness is this that has happened 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 up the men, the wicked fellows who are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death and put away evil from Israel.” But Benjamin would not listen to the voice of their brothers, the children of Israel.
14 Nego se skupiše sinovi Venijaminovi iz svojih mjesta u Gavaju da izidu da se biju sa sinovima Izrailjevijem.
The children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities to 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.
The children of Benjamin were counted on that day out of the cities twenty-six thousand men who drew the sword, in addition to the inhabitants of Gibeah, who were counted 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 these soldiers there were seven hundred chosen men who were left-handed. Every one of them could sling a stone at a hair and not miss.
17 A ljudi Izrailjaca nabroji se osim sinova Venijaminovijeh èetiri stotine tisuæa ljudi koji mahahu maèem, samijeh vojnika.
The men of Israel, besides Benjamin, were counted four hundred thousand men who 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.
The children of Israel arose, went up to Bethel, and asked counsel of God. They asked, “Who shall go up for us first to battle against the children of Benjamin?” The LORD said, “Judah first.”
19 Potom ustavši rano sinovi Izrailjevi stadoše u oko prema Gavaji.
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.
The men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin; and the men of Israel set the battle in array 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.
The children of Benjamin came out of Gibeah, and on that day destroyed twenty-two thousand of the Israelite men down to the ground.
22 Ali se narod sinova Izrailjevijeh oslobodi, te se opet uvrstaše na istom mjestu gdje se bijahu uvrstali prvoga dana.
The people, the men of Israel, encouraged themselves, and set the battle again in array in the place where they set 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.
The children of Israel went up and wept before the LORD until evening; and they asked of the LORD, saying, “Shall I again draw near to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother?” The LORD said, “Go up against him.”
24 I izidoše sinovi Izrailjevi na sinove Venijaminove drugi dan.
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.
Benjamin went out 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 to Bethel, and wept, and sat there before the LORD, and fasted that day until evening; then they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.
27 Pa upitaše sinovi Izrailjevi Gospoda; jer ondje bijaše kovèeg zavjeta Božijega u ono vrijeme;
The children of Israel asked 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?” The LORD said, “Go up; for tomorrow I will deliver him into your hand.”
29 Tada namjesti Izrailj zasjede oko Gavaje.
Israel set ambushes all around Gibeah.
30 I sinovi Izrailjevi izidoše treæi dan na sinove Venijaminove, i uvrstaše se prema Gavaji kao prvom i drugom.
The children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and set 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.
The children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to strike and kill of the people as at other times, in the highways, of which one goes up to Bethel 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.
The children of Benjamin said, “They are struck down before us, as at the first.” But the children of Israel said, “Let’s flee, and draw them away from the city to 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.
All the men of Israel rose up out of their place and set themselves in array at Baal Tamar. Then the ambushers of Israel broke out of their place, even out of Maareh Geba.
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.
Ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel came over against Gibeah, and the battle was severe; but they didn’t know that disaster was close to 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.
The LORD struck Benjamin before Israel; and the children of Israel destroyed of Benjamin that day twenty-five thousand one 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 struck, for the men of Israel yielded to Benjamin because they trusted the ambushers whom they had set against Gibeah.
37 A oni što bijahu u zasjedi navališe brže u Gavaju, i ušavši isjekoše sve po gradu oštrijem maèem.
The ambushers hurried, and rushed on Gibeah; then the ambushers spread out, and struck 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 the appointed sign between the men of Israel and the ambushers was that they should make a great cloud of 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.
The men of Israel turned in the battle, and Benjamin began to strike and kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons; for they said, “Surely they are struck 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 cloud began to arise up out of the city in a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them; and behold, the whole city went up in smoke to the sky.
41 Tada se vratiše sinovi Izrailjevi, a sinovi Venijaminovi smetoše se videæi da ih je zlo zadesilo;
The men of Israel turned, and the men of Benjamin were dismayed; for they saw that disaster had come on 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 to the way of the wilderness, but the battle followed hard after them; and those who came out of the cities destroyed them in the middle of it.
43 Tako opkoliše sinove Venijaminove, goniše ih, tlaèiše ih od Menuje do Gavaje k istoku.
They surrounded the Benjamites, chased them, and trod them down at their resting place, as far as near Gibeah toward the sunrise.
44 I pogibe sinova Venijaminovijeh osamnaest tisuæa ljudi, samijeh junaka.
Eighteen thousand men of Benjamin fell; all these were men of valor.
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.
They turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon. They gleaned five thousand men of them in the highways, and followed hard after them to Gidom, and struck 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 who fell that day of Benjamin were twenty-five thousand men who drew the sword. All these were men of valor.
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 toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, and stayed in the rock of 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.
The men of Israel turned again on the children of Benjamin, and struck them with the edge of the sword—including the entire city, the livestock, and all that they found. Moreover they set all the cities which they found on fire.
