1 Samuel 11
1 Then about a month after this, Nahash the Ammonite came up and put his forces in position for attacking Jabesh-gilead: and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, Make an agreement with us and we will be your servants.
Tada doðe Nas Amonac, i stade u oko prema Javisu Galadovu. I svi ljudi iz Javisa rekoše Nasu: uèini vjeru s nama, pa æemo ti služiti.
2 And Nahash the Ammonite said to them, I will make an agreement with you on this condition, that all your right eyes are put out; so that I may make it a cause of shame to all Israel.
A Nas Amonac odgovori im: ovako æu uèiniti vjeru s vama: da vam svakome iskopam desno oko, i tu sramotu uèinim svemu Izrailju.
3 Then the responsible men of Jabesh said to him, Give us seven days, so that we may send men to every part of Israel: and then, if no one comes to our help, we will come out to you.
A starješine Javiske rekoše mu: ostavi nam sedam dana, da pošljemo poslanike u sve krajeve Izrailjeve; pa ako ne bude nikoga da nas izbavi, tada æemo izaæi k tebi.
4 So they sent representatives to Saul's town Gibeah, and these gave the news to the people: and all the people gave themselves to weeping.
I doðoše poslanici u Gavaju Saulovu, i kazaše ove rijeèi narodu; tada sav narod podiže glas svoj, i plakahu.
5 Now Saul came from the field, driving the oxen before him; and he said, Why are the people weeping? And they gave him word of what the men of Jabesh had said.
A gle, Saul iðaše za govedima svojim iz polja, i reèe: šta je narodu te plaèe? I kazaše mu šta su poruèili Javišani.
6 And at their words, the spirit of God came on Saul with power, and he became very angry.
Tada siðe duh Božji na Saula kad èu te rijeèi, i on se razgnjevi vrlo.
7 And he took two oxen and, cutting them up, sent them through all the land of Israel by the hand of runners, saying, If any man does not come out after Saul and Samuel, this will be done to his oxen. And the fear of the Lord came on the people and they came out like one man.
Pa uze dva vola, i isijeèe ih na komade, i razasla ih u sve krajeve Izrailjeve po istijem poslanicima poruèivši: ko ne poðe za Saulom i za Samuilom, ovako æe biti s govedima njegovijem. I strah Gospodnji popade narod, te izidoše jednodušno.
8 And he had them numbered in Bezek: the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.
I izbroji ih u Vezeku, i bješe sinova Izrailjevijeh trista tisuæa, a sinova Judinijeh trideset tisuæa.
9 Then he said to the representatives who had come, Say to the men of Jabesh-gilead, Tomorrow, by the time the sun is high, you will be made safe. And the representatives came and gave the news to the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.
Potom rekoše poslanicima koji bijahu došli: ovako recite ljudima u Javisu Galadovu: sjutra æete se izbaviti, kad ogrije sunce. I poslanici se vratiše, i javiše ovo Javišanima, i oni se obradovaše.
10 So the men of Jabesh said, Tomorrow we will come out to you, and you may do to us whatever seems good to you.
I rekoše Javišani Amoncima: sjutra æemo izaæi k vama, da uèinite od nas što vam bude drago.
11 Now on the day after, Saul put the people into three bands, and in the morning watch they came to the tents of the Ammonites, and they went on attacking them till the heat of the day: and those who were not put to death were put to flight in every direction, so that no two of them were together.
I sjutradan razdijeli Saul narod u tri èete, i uðoše usred okola o jutrenjoj straži, i biše Amonce dokle sunce ne ogrija, i koji ostaše, raspršaše se da ne ostaše ni dvojica zajedno.
12 And the people said to Samuel, Who was it who said, Is Saul to be our king? give the men up, so that we may put them to death.
Tada reèe narod Samuilu: koji je ono što reèe: eda li æe Saul carovati nad nama? dajte ih da ih pogubimo.
13 And Saul said, Not a man is to be put to death today: for today the Lord has made Israel safe.
Ali Saul reèe: da se ne pogubi danas niko, jer je danas Gospod uèinio spasenje u Izrailju.
14 Then Samuel said to the people, Come, let us go to Gilgal and there make the kingdom strong in the hands of Saul.
Tad Samuilo reèe narodu: hajdete da idemo u Galgal, da ondje ponovimo carstvo.
15 So all the people went to Gilgal; and there in Gilgal they made Saul king before the Lord; and peace-offerings were offered before the Lord; and there Saul and all the men of Israel were glad with great joy.
I sav narod otide u Galgal, i postaviše ondje Saula carem pred Gospodom u Galgalu, i ondje prinesoše žrtve zahvalne pred Gospodom. I proveseli se ondje Saul i sav Izrailj veoma.
