Sudije 11
1 A Jeftaj od Galada bijaše hrabar junak, ali sin jedne kurve, s kojom Galad rodi Jeftaja.
Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valour, and he [was] the son of an harlot: and Gilead begat Jephthah.
2 Ali Galadu i žena njegova rodi sinova, pa kad dorastoše sinovi te žene, otjeraše Jeftaja rekavši mu: neæeš imati našljedstva u domu oca našega, jer si sin druge žene.
And Gilead’s wife bare him sons; and his wife’s sons grew up, and they thrust out Jephthah, and said unto him, Thou shalt not inherit in our father’s house; for thou [art] the son of a strange woman.
3 Zato pobježe Jeftaj od braæe svoje, i nastani se u zemlji Tovu; i stekoše se k njemu ljudi praznovi, i iðahu s njim.
Then Jephthah fled from his brethren, and dwelt in the land of Tob: and there were gathered vain men to Jephthah, and went out with him.
4 A poslije nekoga vremena zavojštiše sinovi Amonovi na Izrailja;
And it came to pass in process of time, that the children of Ammon made war against Israel.
5 I kad zavojštiše sinovi Amonovi na Izrailja, otidoše starješine Galadske da dovedu Jeftaja iz zemlje Tova.
And it was so, that when the children of Ammon made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to fetch Jephthah out of the land of Tob:
6 I rekoše Jeftaju: hodi i budi nam vojvoda, da vojujemo sa sinovima Amonovijem.
And they said unto Jephthah, Come, and be our captain, that we may fight with the children of Ammon.
7 A Jeftaj reèe starješinama Galadskim: ne mrzite li vi na me, i ne istjeraste li me iz doma oca mojega? Što ste dakle došli k meni sada kad ste u nevolji?
And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, Did not ye hate me, and expel me out of my father’s house? and why are ye come unto me now when ye are in distress?
8 A starješine Galadske rekoše Jeftaju: zato smo sada došli opet k tebi da poðeš s nama i da vojuješ sa sinovima Amonovijem i da nam budeš poglavar svjema koji živimo u Galadu.
And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, Therefore we turn again to thee now, that thou mayest go with us, and fight against the children of Ammon, and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.
9 A Jeftaj reèe starješinama Galadskim: kad hoæete da me odvedete natrag da vojujem sa sinovima Amonovijem, ako mi ih da Gospod, hoæu li vam biti poglavar?
And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, If ye bring me home again to fight against the children of Ammon, and the LORD deliver them before me, shall I be your head?
10 A starješine Galadske rekoše Jeftaju: Gospod neka bude svjedok meðu nama, ako ne uèinimo kako si kazao.
And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, The LORD be witness between us, if we do not so according to thy words.
11 Tada otide Jeftaj sa starješinama Galadskim, i narod ga postavi poglavarem i vojvodom nad sobom; i Jeftaj izgovori pred Gospodom u Mispi sve rijeèi koje bješe rekao.
Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and captain over them: and Jephthah uttered all his words before the LORD in Mizpeh.
12 Potom posla Jeftaj poslanike k caru sinova Amonovijeh, i poruèi: šta imaš ti sa mnom, te si došao k meni da ratuješ po mojoj zemlji?
And Jephthah sent messengers unto the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What hast thou to do with me, that thou art come against me to fight in my land?
13 A car sinova Amonovijeh reèe poslanicima Jeftajevim: što je uzeo Izrailj moju zemlju kad doðe iz Misira, od Arnona do Javoka i do Jordana; sada dakle vrati mi je s mirom.
And the king of the children of Ammon answered unto the messengers of Jephthah, Because Israel took away my land, when they came up out of Egypt, from Arnon even unto Jabbok, and unto Jordan: now therefore restore those [lands] again peaceably.
14 Ali Jeftaj posla opet poslanike k caru sinova Amonovijeh,
And Jephthah sent messengers again unto the king of the children of Ammon:
15 I poruèi mu: ovako veli Jeftaj: nije uzeo Izrailj zemlje Moavske ni zemlje sinova Amonovijeh.
And said unto him, Thus saith Jephthah, Israel took not away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon:
16 Nego izašavši iz Misira prijeðe Izrailj preko pustinje do Crvenoga Mora i doðe do Kadisa.
But when Israel came up from Egypt, and walked through the wilderness unto the Red sea, and came to Kadesh;
17 I posla Izrailj poslanike k caru Edomskomu i reèe: pusti da proðem kroz tvoju zemlju. Ali ne posluša car Edomski. Posla takoðe k caru Moavskomu; ali ni on ne htje. I tako staja Izrailj u Kadisu.
Then Israel sent messengers unto the king of Edom, saying, Let me, I pray thee, pass through thy land: but the king of Edom would not hearken [thereto]. And in like manner they sent unto the king of Moab: but he would not [consent: ] and Israel abode in Kadesh.
18 Potom iduæi preko pustinje obide zemlju Edomsku i zemlju Moavsku, i došavši s istoka zemlji Moavskoj stade u oko s onu stranu Arnona; ali ne prijeðoše preko meðe Moavske, jer Arnon bješe meða Moavska.
Then they went along through the wilderness, and compassed the land of Edom, and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, but came not within the border of Moab: for Arnon [was] the border of Moab.
19 Nego posla Izrailj poslanike k Sionu caru Amorejskomu, caru Esevonskomu, i reèe mu Izrailj: dopusti nam da proðemo kroz tvoju zemlju do svojega mjesta.
And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said unto him, Let us pass, we pray thee, through thy land into my place.
20 Ali Sion ne vjerova Izrailju da ga pusti da prijeðe preko meðe njegove, nego Sion skupi sav svoj narod i stadoše u oko u Jasi, i pobi se s Izrailjem.
But Sihon trusted not Israel to pass through his coast: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and pitched in Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
21 A Gospod Bog Izrailjev predade Siona i sav narod njegov u ruke sinovima Izrailjevijem, te ih pobiše; i zadobi Izrailj svu zemlju Amoreja, koji življahu u onoj zemlji.
And the LORD God of Israel delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they smote them: so Israel possessed all the land of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that country.
22 Zadobiše svu zemlju Amorejsku od Arnona do Javoka, i od pustinje do Jordana.
And they possessed all the coasts of the Amorites, from Arnon even unto Jabbok, and from the wilderness even unto Jordan.
23 Tako je dakle Gospod Bog Izrailjev otjerao Amoreje ispred naroda svojega Izrailja, pa ti li hoæeš da je zemlja njihova tvoja?
So now the LORD God of Israel hath dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel, and shouldest thou possess it?
24 Nije li tvoje ono što ti da da je tvoje Hemos bog tvoj? tako koga god Gospod Bog naš otjera ispred nas, onoga je zemlja naša.
Wilt not thou possess that which Chemosh thy god giveth thee to possess? So whomsoever the LORD our God shall drive out from before us, them will we possess.
25 Ili si ti po èem bolji od Valaka sina Seforova cara Moavskoga? Je li se on kad svaðao s Izrailjem? Je li kad vojevao s nama?
And now [art] thou any thing better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? did he ever strive against Israel, or did he ever fight against them,
26 Izrailj živi u Esevonu i u selima njegovijem i u Aroiru i selima njegovijem i po svijem gradovima duž Arnona tri stotine godina; zašto ne oteste za toliko vremena?
While Israel dwelt in Heshbon and her towns, and in Aroer and her towns, and in all the cities that [be] along by the coasts of Arnon, three hundred years? why therefore did ye not recover [them] within that time?
27 I tako nijesam ja tebi skrivio, nego ti meni èiniš zlo ratujuæi na me. Gospod sudija nek sudi danas izmeðu sinova Izrailjevijeh i sinova Amonovijeh.
Wherefore I have not sinned against thee, but thou doest me wrong to war against me: the LORD the Judge be judge this day between the children of Israel and the children of Ammon.
28 Ali car sinova Amonovijeh ne posluša rijeèi koje mu poruèi Jeftaj.
Howbeit the king of the children of Ammon hearkened not unto the words of Jephthah which he sent him.
29 I siðe na Jeftaja duh Gospodnji, te proðe kroz Galad i kroz Manasiju, proðe i Mispu Galadsku, i od Mispe Galadske doðe do sinova Amonovijeh.
Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah, and he passed over Gilead, and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over [unto] the children of Ammon.
30 I zavjetova Jeftaj zavjet Gospodu i reèe: ako mi daš sinove Amonove u ruke,
And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands,
31 Što god izide na vrata iz kuæe moje na susret meni, kad se vratim zdrav od sinova Amonovijeh, biæe Gospodnje, i prinijeæu na žrtvu paljenicu.
Then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD’s, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering.
32 I tako doðe Jeftaj do sinova Amonovijeh da se bije s njima; i Gospod mu ih dade u ruke.
So Jephthah passed over unto the children of Ammon to fight against them; and the LORD delivered them into his hands.
33 I pobi ih od Aroira pa do Minita u dvadeset gradova i do ravnice vinogradske u boju vrlo velikom; i sinovi Amonovi biše pokoreni pred sinovima Izrailjevijem.
And he smote them from Aroer, even till thou come to Minnith, [even] twenty cities, and unto the plain of the vineyards, with a very great slaughter. Thus the children of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel.
34 A kad se vraæaše Jeftaj kuæi svojoj u Mispu, gle, kæi njegova izide mu na susret s bubnjima i sviralama; ona mu bijaše jedinica, i osim nje ne imaše ni sina ni kæeri.
And Jephthah came to Mizpeh unto his house, and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances: and she [was his] only child; beside her he had neither son nor daughter.
35 Pa kad je ugleda, razdrije haljine svoje i reèe: ah kæeri moja! vele li me obori! ti si od onijeh što me cvijele; jer sam otvorio usta svoja ka Gospodu, i ne mogu poreæi.
And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he rent his clothes, and said, Alas, my daughter! thou hast brought me very low, and thou art one of them that trouble me: for I have opened my mouth unto the LORD, and I cannot go back.
36 A ona mu reèe: oèe moj, kad si otvorio usta svoja ka Gospodu, uèini mi, kako je izašlo iz usta tvojih, kad te je Gospod osvetio od neprijatelja tvojih, sinova Amonovijeh.
And she said unto him, My father, [if] thou hast opened thy mouth unto the LORD, do to me according to that which hath proceeded out of thy mouth; forasmuch as the LORD hath taken vengeance for thee of thine enemies, [even] of the children of Ammon.
37 Još reèe ocu svojemu: uèini mi ovo: ostavi me do dva mjeseca da otidem da se popnem na gore da oplaèem svoje djevojaštvo s drugama svojim.
And she said unto her father, Let this thing be done for me: let me alone two months, that I may go up and down upon the mountains, and bewail my virginity, I and my fellows.
38 A on joj reèe: idi. I pusti je na dva mjeseca, i ona otide s drugama svojim i oplakiva djevojaštvo svoje po gorama.
And he said, Go. And he sent her away [for] two months: and she went with her companions, and bewailed her virginity upon the mountains.
39 A kad proðoše dva mjeseca, vrati se k ocu svojemu, i on svrši na njoj zavjet svoj koji bješe zavjetovao. A ona ne pozna èovjeka. I posta obièaj u Izrailju
And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she returned unto her father, who did with her [according] to his vow which he had vowed: and she knew no man. And it was a custom in Israel,
40 Da od godine do godine idu kæeri Izrailjeve da plaèu za kæerju Jeftaja od Galada, èetiri dana u godini.
[That] the daughters of Israel went yearly to lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year.
