Judges 11
1 Then Gilead begate Iphtah, and Iphtah the Gileadite was a valiant man, but the sonne of an harlot.
Gileađanin Jiftah bijaše hrabar ratnik. Rodila ga bludnica, a otac mu bijaše Gilead.
2 And Gileads wife bare him sonnes, and when the womans children were come to age, they thrust out Iphtah, and sayd vnto him, Thou shalt not inherite in our fathers house: for thou art the sonne of a strange woman.
Ali je Gileadu i njegova žena rodila sinove, pa kada su sinovi te žene odrasli, otjeraše Jiftaha govoreći mu: “Nećeš dobiti baštine od našeg oca jer si sin strane žene.”
3 Then Iphtah fledde from his brethren, and dwelt in the land of Tob: and there gathered idle fellowes to Iphtah, and went out with him.
Jiftah zato pobježe od svoje braće i naseli se u zemlji Tobu. Ondje se oko njega okupila hrpa beskućnika koji su s njim pljačkali.
4 And in processe of time the children of Ammon made warre with Israel.
Poslije nekog vremena Amonci zavojštiše na Izraela.
5 And when the children of Ammon fought with Israel, the Elders of Gilead went to fet Iphtah out of the land of Tob.
Kada su Amonci napali Izraela, krenuše gileadske starješine da trže Jiftaha u zemlji Tobu.
6 And they saide vnto Iphtah, Come and be our captaine, that we may fight with the children of Ammon.
“Hodi”, rekoše mu, “budi nam vojvoda da ratujemo protiv Amonaca.”
7 Iphtah then answered the Elders of Gilead, Did not ye hate me, and expell me out of my fathers house? how then come you vnto me now in time of your tribulation?
Ali Jiftah odgovori gileadskim starješinama: “Niste li me vi mrzili i otjerali iz kuće moga oca? Zašto sada dolazite k meni kada ste u nevolji?”
8 Then the Elders of Gilead saide vnto Iphtah, Therefore we turne againe to thee now, that thou mayest goe with vs, and fight against the children of Ammon, and bee our head ouer all the inhabitants of Gilead.
Gileadske starješine rekoše Jiftahu: “Zato smo sada došli tebi: pođi s nama, povedi rat protiv Amonaca i bit ćeš poglavar nama i svima u Gileadu.”
9 And Iphtah said vnto the Elders of Gilead, If ye bring me home againe to fight against the children of Ammon, if the Lord giue them before me, shall I be your head?
Jiftah upita gileadske starješine: “Ako me odvedete natrag da ratujem protiv Amonaca te ako ih Jahve meni preda, hoću li biti vaš poglavar?”
10 And the Elders of Gilead saide to Iphtah, The Lord be witnesse betweene vs, if we doe not according to thy wordes.
“Jahve neka bude svjedokom među nama”, odgovore Jiftahu gradske starješine. “Jao nama ako ne učinimo kako si rekao!”
11 Then Iphtah went with the Elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and captaine ouer them: and Iphtah rehearsed all his wordes before the Lord in Mizpeh.
I Jiftah ode sa starješinama Gileada. Narod ga postavi sebi za poglavara i vojvodu; a Jiftah je ponovio sve svoje uvjete pred Jahvom u Mispi.
12 Then Iphtah sent messengers vnto the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What hast thou to doe with me, that thou art come against me, to fight in my lande?
Jiftah posla onda poslanike kralju Amonaca s porukom: “Što ima između tebe i mene da si došao ratovati protiv moje zemlje?”
13 And the King of the children of Ammon answered vnto the messengers of Iphtah, Because Israel tooke my lande, when they came vp from Egypt, from Arnon vnto Iabbok, and vnto Iorden: now therefore restore those lands quietly.
Kralj Amonaca odgovori Jiftahovim poslanicima: “U vrijeme kada je izlazio iz Egipta, Izrael ja zaposjeo moju zemlju od Arnona do Jaboka i Jordana. Zato mi je sada dragovoljno vrati!”
14 Yet Iphtah sent messengers againe vnto the King of the children of Ammon,
Jiftah nanovo pošalje glasnike kralju Amonaca
15 And said vnto him, Thus saith Iphtah, Israel tooke not the lande of Moab, nor the lande of the children of Ammon.
i poruči mu: “Ovako govori Jiftah: Nije Izrael zaposjeo ni moapsku ni amonsku zemlju,
16 But when Israel came vp from Egypt, and walked through the wildernesse vnto the redde Sea, then they came to Kadesh.
nego je, izišavši iz Egipta, Izrael prešao pustinjom do Crvenog mora i došao u Kadeš.
17 And Israel sent messengers vnto the king of Edom, saying, Let me, I pray thee, goe thorowe thy lande: but the King of Edom woulde not consent: and also they sent vnto the King of Moab, but he would not: therefore Israel abode in Kadesh.
Tada je poslao Izrael poslanike edomskom kralju s molbom: 'Htio bih proći kroz tvoju zemlju!' Ali ga edomski kralj ne posluša. Poslao ih je i moapskom kralju, ali ni on ne htjede, te Izrael ostade u Kadešu.
18 Then they went through the wildernesse, and compassed the lande of Edom, and the lande of Moab, and came by the Eastside of the lande of Moab, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, and came not within the coast of Moab: for Arnon was the border of Moab.
Onda je preko pustinje zaobišao edomsku i moapsku zemlju i došao na istok od moapske zemlje. Narod se utaborio s one strane Arnona ne prelazeći granice Moaba, jer Arnon bijaše moapska međa.
19 Also Israel sent messengers vnto Sihon, King of the Amorites, the King of Heshbon, and Israel said vnto him, Let vs passe, we pray thee, by thy lande vnto our place.
Izrael posla zatim poslanike Sihonu, amorejskom kralju, koji je vladao u Hešbonu, i poruči mu: 'Pusti nas da prođemo kroz tvoju zemlju do mjesta koje nam je određeno.'
20 But Sihon consented not to Israel, that he shoulde goe through his coast: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and pitched in Iahaz, and fought with Israel.
Ali Sihon ne dopusti Izraelu da prođe preko njegova područja, nego skupi svu svoju vojsku koja bijaše utaborena u Jahasu i zametnu boj s Izraelom.
21 And the Lord God of Israel gaue Sihon and all his folke into the handes of Israel, and they smote them: so Israel possessed all the lande of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that countrey:
Jahve, Bog Izraelov, predade Sihona i svu njegovu vojsku u ruke Izraelu, koji ih porazi, te Izrael zaposjede svu zemlju Amorejaca koji nastavahu to područje.
22 And they possessed all the coast of the Amorites, from Arnon vnto Iabbok, and from the wildernesse euen vnto Iorden.
Zaposjeo je tako svu zemlju Amorejaca od Arnona do Jaboka i od pustinje do Jordana.
23 Nowe therefore the Lord God of Israel hath cast out the Amorites before his people Israel, and shouldest thou possesse it?
I sada kad je Jahve, Bog Izraelov, protjerao Amorejce pred svojim narodom Izraelom, ti bi nas htio odagnati?
24 Wouldest not thou possesse that which Chemosh thy god giueth thee to possesse? So whomesoeuer the Lord our God driueth out before vs, them will we possesse.
Zar ne posjeduješ sve što je tvoj bog Kemoš bio oteo starim posjednicima? Tako i sve ono što je Jahve, naš Bog, oteo starim posjednicima, mi sada posjedujemo!
25 And art thou nowe farre better then Balak the sonne of Zippor King of Moab? did he not striue with Israel and fight against them,
Po čemu si ti bolji od moapskog kralja Balaka, sina Siporova? Je li se i on sporio s Izraelom? Je li on ratovao protiv njega?
26 When Israel dwelt in Heshbon and in her townes, and in Aroer and in her townes, and in all the cities that are by the coastes of Arnon, three hundreth yeeres? why did ye not then recouer them in that space?
Kada se Izrael nastanio u Hešbonu i u njegovim selima, u Aroeru i u njegovim selima, a tako i po svim gradovima na obali Jordana - evo, već tri stotine godina - zašto ih tada niste oteli?
27 Wherefore, I haue not offended thee: but thou doest me wrong to warre against me. The Lord the Iudge be iudge this day betweene the children of Israel, and the children of Ammon.
Nisam ja tebi skrivio nego ti meni činiš krivo ratujući protiv mene. Neka Jahve, Sudac, danas presudi između sinova Izraelovih i sinova Amonovih.”
28 Howbeit the King of the children of Ammon hearkened not vnto the wordes of Iphtah, which he had sent him.
Ali kralj Amonaca ne posluša riječi što mu ih je poručio Jiftah.
29 Then the Spirite of the Lord came vpon Iphtah, and he passed ouer to Gilead and to Manasseh, and came to Mizpeh in Gilead, and from Mizpeh in Gilead he went vnto the children of Ammon.
Duh Jahvin siđe na Jiftaha te on pođe kroz Gileadovo i Manašeovo pleme, prođe kroz gileadsku Mispu, a od gileadske Mispe dođe iza Amonaca.
30 And Iphtah vowed a vowe vnto the Lord, and said, If thou shalt deliuer the children of Ammon into mine handes,
I Jiftah se zavjetova Jahvi: “Ako mi predaš u ruke Amonce,
31 Then that thing that commeth out of the doores of mine house to meete me, when I come home in peace from the children of Ammon, shall be the Lordes, and I will offer it for a burnt offering.
tko prvi iziđe na vrata moje kuće u susret meni kada se budem vraćao kao pobjednik iz boja s Amoncima bit će Jahvin i njega ću prinijeti kao paljenicu.”
32 And so Iphtah went vnto the children of Ammon to fight against them, and the Lord deliuered them into his handes.
Jiftah krenu protiv Amonaca da ih napadne i Jahve ih izruči u njegove ruke.
33 And he smote them from Aroer euen till thou come to Minnith, twentie cities, and so foorth to Abel of the vineyardes, with an exceeding great slaughter. Thus the children of Ammon were humbled before the children of Israel.
I porazi ih Jiftah od Aroera do blizu Minita - u dvadeset gradova - i sve do Abel Keramima. Bijaše to njihov veliki poraz; i Amonci bijahu poniženi pred Izraelom.
34 Nowe when Iphtah came to Mizpeh vnto his house, beholde, his daughter came out to meete him with timbrels and daunces, which was his onely childe: he had none other sonne, nor daughter.
Kada se Jiftah vratio kući u Mispu, gle, iziđe mu u susret kći plešući uza zvuke bubnjeva. Bijaše mu ona jedinica, osim nje nije imao ni sina ni kćeri.
35 And when hee sawe her, hee rent his clothes, and saide, Alas my daughter, thou hast brought me lowe, and art of them that trouble me: for I haue opened my mouth vnto the Lord, and can not goe backe.
Ugledavši je, razdrije svoje haljine i zakuka: “Jao, kćeri moja, u veliku me tugu bacaš! Zar mi baš ti moraš donijeti nesreću! Zavjetovah se Jahvi i ne mogu zavjeta poreći.”
36 And she said vnto him, My father, if thou hast opened thy mouth vnto the Lord, doe with me as thou hast promised, seeing that the Lord hath auenged thee of thine enemies the children of Ammon.
Ona mu odgovori: “Oče moj, ako si učinio zavjet Jahvi, učini sa mnom kako si se zavjetovao, jer ti je Jahve dao da se osvetiš Amoncima, svojim neprijateljima.”
37 Also she saide vnto her father, Doe thus much for me: suffer me two moneths, that I may goe to the mountaines, and bewaile my virginitie, I and my fellowes.
Onda zamoli svog oca: “Ispuni mi ovu molbu: pusti me da budem slobodna dva mjeseca; lutat ću po gorama sa svojim drugama i oplakivati svoje djevičanstvo.”
38 And he sayde, Goe: and he sent her away two moneths: so she went with her companions, and lamented her virginitie vpon the moutaines.
“Idi”, reče joj on i pusti je na dva mjeseca. Ona ode sa svojim drugama i oplakivaše na gorama svoje djevičanstvo.
39 And after the ende of two moneths, she turned againe vnto her father, who did with her according to his vowe which he had vowed, and she had knowen no man. and it was a custome in Israel:
Kada su prošla dva mjeseca, ona se vrati ocu i on izvrši na njoj zavjet što ga bijaše učinio. I nikada nije upoznala čovjeka. Otada je potekao običaj u Izraelu
40 The daughters of Israel went yere by yere to lament the daughter of Iphtah the Gileadite, foure dayes in a yeere.
da svake godine odlaze Izraelove kćeri i oplakuju kćer Jiftaha Gileađanina četiri dana na godinu.
