Sudije 3
1 A ovo su narodi koje ostavi Gospod da njima kuša Izrailja, sve one koji ne znahu za ratove Hananske,
Now these are the nations which Jehovah left, to prove Israel by them, even as many [of Israel] as had not known all the wars of Canaan;
2 Da bi barem natražje sinova Izrailjevijeh znalo i razumjelo što je rat, barem oni koji od prije nijesu znali:
only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as beforetime knew nothing thereof:
3 Pet kneževina Filistejskih, i svi Hananeji i Sidonci i Jeveji, koji življahu na gori Livanu od gore Val-Ermona do Emata.
[namely], the five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baal-hermon unto the entrance of Hamath.
4 Ti narodi ostaše da se Izrailj njima kuša, da se vidi hoæe li slušati zapovijesti Gospodnje, koje je zapovjedio ocima njihovijem preko Mojsija.
And they were [left], to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of Jehovah, which he commanded their fathers by Moses.
5 I življahu sinovi Izrailjevi usred Hananeja i Heteja i Amoreja i Ferezeja i Jeveja i Jevuseja.
And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites:
6 I ženjahu se kæerima njihovijem i udavahu kæeri svoje za sinove njihove, i služahu bogovima njihovijem.
and they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their own daughters to their sons and served their gods.
7 I èinjahu sinovi Izrailjevi što je zlo pred Gospodom, i zaboraviše Gospoda Boga svojega i služahu Valima i lugovima.
And the children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and forgat Jehovah their God, and served the Baalim and the Asheroth.
8 Zato se razgnjevi Gospod na Izrailja, i dade ih u ruke Husan-Risatajimu caru Mesopotamskom; i služiše sinovi Izrailjevi Husan-Risatajimu osam godina.
Therefore the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Cushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Cushan-rishathaim eight years.
9 Potom vapiše sinovi Izrailjevi ka Gospodu, i podiže Gospod izbavitelja sinovima Izrailjevijem da ih izbavi, Gotonila sina Kenezova, mlaðega brata Halevova,
And when the children of Israel cried unto Jehovah, Jehovah raised up a saviour to the children of Israel, who saved them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother.
10 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.
And the Spirit of Jehovah came upon him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war, and Jehovah delivered Cushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand: and his hand prevailed against Cushan-rishathaim.
11 I zemlja bi mirna èetrdeset godina. Potom umrije Gotonilo sin Kenezov.
And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
12 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.
And the children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah: and Jehovah strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah.
13 Jer skupi k sebi sinove Amonove i Amalike, i izašavši pobi Izrailja, i osvojiše grad palmov.
And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek; and he went and smote Israel, and they possessed the city of palm-trees.
14 I sinovi Izrailjevi služiše Eglonu caru Moavskom osamnaest godina.
And the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
15 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.
But when the children of Israel cried unto Jehovah, Jehovah raised them up a saviour, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a man left-handed. And the children of Israel sent tribute by him unto Eglon the king of Moab.
16 A Aod naèini sebi maè s obje strane oštar, od lakta u dužinu; i pripasa ga pod haljine svoje uz desnu bedricu.
And Ehud made him a sword which had two edges, a cubit in length; and he girded it under his raiment upon his right thigh.
17 I odnese dar Eglonu caru Moavskom; a Eglon bješe èovjek vrlo debeo.
And he offered the tribute unto Eglon king of Moab: now Eglon was a very fat man.
18 I kad predade dar, otpusti ljude koji su nosili dar.
And when he had made an end of offering the tribute, he sent away the people that bare the tribute.
19 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.
But he himself turned back from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king. And he said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.
20 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.
And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting by himself alone in the cool upper room. And Ehud said, I have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of his seat.
21 A Aod poteže lijevom rukom svojom i uze maè od desne bedrice, i satjera mu ga u trbuh,
And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his body:
22 I držak uðe za maèem, i salo se sklopi za maèem, te ne može izvuæi maèa iz trbuha; i izide neèist.
and the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, for he drew not the sword out of his body; and it came out behind.
23 Potom izide Aod iz sobe, i zatvori vrata za sobom i zakljuèa.
Then Ehud went forth into the porch, and shut the doors of the upper room upon him, and locked them.
24 A kad on otide, doðoše sluge, i pogledaše, a to vrata od sobe zakljuèana, pa rekoše: valjada ide napolje u klijeti do ljetne sobe.
Now when he was gone out, his servants came; and they saw, and, behold, the doors of the upper room were locked; and they said, Surely he is covering his feet in the upper chamber.
25 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.
And they tarried till they were ashamed; and, behold, he opened not the doors of the upper room: therefore they took the key, and opened [them]; and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth.
26 A Aod dokle se oni zabaviše pobježe i proðe likove kamene, i uteèe u Seirot.
And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Seirah.
27 I kad doðe, zatrubi u trubu u gori Jefremovoj; i sidoše s njim sinovi Izrailjevi s gore, a on naprijed.
And it came to pass, when he was come, that he blew a trumpet in the hill-country of Ephraim; and the children of Israel went down with him from the hill-country, and he before them.
28 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.
And he said unto them, Follow after me; for Jehovah hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites, and suffered not a man to pass over.
29 I tada pobiše Moavce, oko deset tisuæa ljudi, sve bogate i hrabre, i nijedan ne uteèe.
And they smote of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, every lusty man, and every man of valor; and there escaped not a man.
30 Tako u taj dan potpadoše Moavci pod ruku Izrailjevu; i zemlja bi mirna osamdeset godina.
So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest fourscore years.
31 A poslije njega nasta Samegar sin Anatov, i pobi šest stotina Filisteja ostanom volujskim, i izbavi i on Izrailja.
And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who smote of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox-goad: and he also saved Israel.
