Judges 20
1 Then all the children of Israel took up arms, and the people came together like one man, from Dan to Beer-sheba, and the land of Gilead, before the Lord at Mizpah.
Tada izidoše svi sinovi Izrailjevi, i sabra se sav narod jednodušno, od Dana do Virsaveje i do zemlje Galadove, ka Gospodu u Mispu.
2 And the chiefs of the people, out of all the tribes of Israel, took their places in the meeting of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen armed with swords.
I glavari svega naroda, svijeh plemena Izrailjevijeh, doðoše na zbor naroda Božijega, èetiri stotine tisuæa ljudi pješaka koji mahahu maèem.
3 (Now the children of Benjamin had word that the children of Israel had gone up to Mizpah.) And the children of Israel said, Make clear how this evil thing took place.
A sinovi Venijaminovi èuše da su sinovi Izrailjevi otišli u Mispu. Sinovi Izrailjevi rekoše: kažite kako se dogodilo to zlo.
4 Then the Levite, the husband of the dead woman, said in answer, I came to Gibeah in the land of Benjamin, I and my servant-wife, for the purpose of stopping there for the night.
A Levit, muž ubijene žene, odgovori i reèe: doðoh s inoèom svojom u Gavaju Venijaminovu da prenoæim.
5 And the townsmen of Gibeah came together against me, going round the house on all sides by night; it was their purpose to put me to death, and my servant-wife was violently used by them and is dead.
A Gavajani ustaše na me, opkoliše me u kuæi noæu, i htješe me ubiti; i inoèu moju zlostaviše tako da umrije.
6 So I took her, cutting her into parts which I sent through all the country of the heritage of Israel: for they have done an act of shame in Israel.
Zato uzev inoèu svoju isjekoh je na komade i razaslah je u sve krajeve našljedstva Izrailjeva; jer uèiniše grdilo i sramotu u Izrailju.
7 Here you all are, you children of Israel; give now your suggestions about what is to be done.
Eto, vi ste svi sinovi Izrailjevi; promislite i vijeæajte.
8 Then all the people got up as one man and said, Not one of us will go to his tent or go back to his house:
A sav narod usta jednodušno i reèe: da ne idemo nijedan k šatoru svojemu, i nijedan da se ne vraæa kuæi svojoj.
9 But this is what we will do to Gibeah: we will go up against it by the decision of the Lord;
Nego ovo da uèinimo Gavaji: da bacimo ždrijeb za nju.
10 And we will take ten men out of every hundred, through all the tribes of Israel, a hundred out of every thousand, a thousand out of every ten thousand, to get food for the people, so that they may give to Gibeah of Benjamin the right punishment for the act of shame they have done in Israel.
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.
11 So all the men of Israel were banded together against the town, united like one man.
I skupi se sav narod Izrailjev na onaj grad složivši se jednodušno.
12 And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin saying, What is this evil which has been done among you?
Tada poslaše plemena Izrailjeva ljude u sve porodice Venijaminove, i poruèiše im: kakvo se to zlo uèini meðu vama?
13 Now give up those good-for-nothing persons in Gibeah so that we may put them to death, clearing away the evil from Israel. But the children of Benjamin would not give ear to the voice of their brothers, the children of Israel.
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.
14 And the children of Benjamin came together from all their towns to Gibeah, to go to war with the children of Israel.
Nego se skupiše sinovi Venijaminovi iz svojih mjesta u Gavaju da izidu da se biju sa sinovima Izrailjevijem.
15 And the children of Benjamin who came that day from the towns were twenty-six thousand men armed with swords, in addition to the people of Gibeah, numbering seven hundred of the best fighting-men,
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.
16 Who were left-handed, able to send a stone at a hair without error.
U svem tom narodu bješe sedam stotina ljudi odabranijeh, koji bjehu ljevaci, i svaki gaðaše kamenom iz praæke u dlaku ne promašujuæi.
17 And the men of Israel, other than Benjamin, were four hundred thousand in number, all armed with swords; they were all men of war.
A ljudi Izrailjaca nabroji se osim sinova Venijaminovijeh èetiri stotine tisuæa ljudi koji mahahu maèem, samijeh vojnika.
18 And they got up and went up to Beth-el to get directions from God, and the children of Israel said, Who is to be the first to go up to the fight against the children of Benjamin? And the Lord said, Judah is to go up first.
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.
19 So the children of Israel got up in the morning and put themselves in position against Gibeah.
Potom ustavši rano sinovi Izrailjevi stadoše u oko prema Gavaji.
20 And the men of Israel went out to war against Benjamin (and the men of Israel put their forces in fighting order against them at Gibeah).
I izidoše sinovi Izrailjevi u boj na sinove Venijaminove, i uvrstaše se sinovi Izrailjevi da udare na Gavaju.
21 Then the children of Benjamin came out from Gibeah, cutting down twenty-two thousand of the Israelites that day.
A sinovi Venijaminovi izidoše iz Gavaje, i povaljaše po zemlji izmeðu Izrailjaca u onaj dan dvadeset i dvije tisuæe ljudi.
22 But the people, the men of Israel, taking heart again, put their forces in order and took up the same position as on the first day.
Ali se narod sinova Izrailjevijeh oslobodi, te se opet uvrstaše na istom mjestu gdje se bijahu uvrstali prvoga dana.
23 Now the children of Israel went up, weeping before the Lord till evening, requesting the Lord and saying, Am I to go forward again to the fight against the children of Benjamin my brother? And the Lord said, Go up against him.
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.
24 So the children of Israel went forward against the children of Benjamin the second day.
I izidoše sinovi Izrailjevi na sinove Venijaminove drugi dan.
25 And the second day Benjamin went out against them from Gibeah, cutting down eighteen thousand men of the children of Israel, all swordsmen.
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.
26 Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up to Beth-el, weeping and waiting there before the Lord, going without food all day till evening, and offering burned offerings and peace-offerings before the Lord.
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.
27 And the children of Israel made request to the Lord, (for the ark of the agreement of the Lord was there in those days,
Pa upitaše sinovi Izrailjevi Gospoda; jer ondje bijaše kovèeg zavjeta Božijega u ono vrijeme;
28 And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, was in his place before it, ) and said, Am I still to go on with the fight against the children of Benjamin my brother, or am I to give it up? And the Lord said, Go on; for tomorrow I will give him into your hands.
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.
29 So Israel put men secretly all round Gibeah to make a surprise attack on it.
Tada namjesti Izrailj zasjede oko Gavaje.
30 And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and put themselves in fighting order against Gibeah as before.
I sinovi Izrailjevi izidoše treæi dan na sinove Venijaminove, i uvrstaše se prema Gavaji kao prvom i drugom.
31 And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, moving away from the town; and as before, at their first attack, they put to death about thirty men of Israel on the highways, of which one goes up to Beth-el and the other to Gibeah, and in the open country.
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.
32 And the children of Benjamin said, They are giving way before us as at first. But the children of Israel said, Let us go in flight and get them away from the town, into the highways.
I rekoše sinovi Venijaminovi: padaju pred nama kao prije. A sinovi Izrailjevi rekoše: da bježimo da ih otrgnemo od grada na putove.
33 So all the men of Israel got up and put themselves in fighting order at Baal-tamar: and those who had been waiting secretly to make a surprise attack came rushing out of their place on the west of Geba.
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.
34 And they came in front of Gibeah, ten thousand of the best men in all Israel, and the fighting became more violent; but the children of Benjamin were not conscious that evil was coming on them.
I doðe na Gavaju deset tisuæa ljudi izabranijeh iz svega Izrailja, i boj posta žešæi, a oni ne opaziše da æe ih zlo zadesiti.
35 Then the Lord sent sudden fear on Benjamin before Israel; and that day the children of Israel put to death twenty-five thousand, one hundred men of Benjamin, all of them swordsmen.
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.
36 So the children of Benjamin saw that they were overcome: and the men of Israel had given way before Benjamin, putting their faith in the watchers who were to make the surprise attack on Gibeah.
I sinovi Venijaminovi vidješe da su nadbijeni: jer sinovi Izrailjevi uzmakoše ispred sinova Venijaminovijeh uzdajuæi se u zasjede koje bijahu namjestili kod Gavaje;
37 And the watchers, rushing on Gibeah and overrunning it, put all the town to the sword without mercy.
A oni što bijahu u zasjedi navališe brže u Gavaju, i ušavši isjekoše sve po gradu oštrijem maèem.
38 Now the sign fixed between the men of Israel and those making the surprise attack was that when they made a pillar of smoke go up from the town,
A bijahu sinovi Izrailjevi ugovorili s onima u zasjedi da za znak zapale vatru da se digne velik dim iz grada.
39 The men of Israel were to make a turn about in the fight. And Benjamin had overcome and put to death about thirty of the men of Israel, and were saying, Certainly they are falling back before us as in the first fight.
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.
40 Then the sign went up out of the town in the pillar of smoke, and the Benjamites, turning back, saw all the town going up in smoke to heaven.
Ali kad se plamen i dim kao stup diže iz grada, obazreše se sinovi Venijaminovi, i gle, oganj se iz grada dizaše do neba.
41 And the men of Israel had made a turn about, and the men of Benjamin were overcome with fear, for they saw that evil had overtaken them.
Tada se vratiše sinovi Izrailjevi, a sinovi Venijaminovi smetoše se videæi da ih je zlo zadesilo;
42 So turning their backs on the men of Israel, they went in the direction of the waste land; but the fight overtook them; and those who came out of the town were heading them off and putting them to the sword.
I pobjegoše ispred sinova Izrailjevijeh k pustinji; ali ih vojska gonjaše, i koji iz gradova izlažahu, biše ih meðu sobom.
43 And crushing Benjamin down, they went after them, driving them from Nohah as far as the east side of Gibeah.
Tako opkoliše sinove Venijaminove, goniše ih, tlaèiše ih od Menuje do Gavaje k istoku.
44 Eighteen thousand men of Benjamin came to their death, all strong men of war.
I pogibe sinova Venijaminovijeh osamnaest tisuæa ljudi, samijeh junaka.
45 And turning, they went in flight to the rock of Rimmon in the waste land: and on the highways five thousand of them were cut off by the men of Israel, who, pushing on hard after them to Geba, put to death two thousand more.
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.
46 So twenty-five thousand of the swordsmen of Benjamin came to their end that day, all strong men of war.
I tako svega pogibe onaj dan sinova Venijaminovijeh dvadeset i pet tisuæa ljudi koji mahahu maèem, sve samijeh junaka.
47 But six hundred men, turning back, went in flight to the rock of Rimmon in the waste land, and were living on the rock of Rimmon for four months.
I bješe šest stotina ljudi koji se okretoše i utekoše u pustinju k stijeni Rimonu, i ostaše na stijeni Rimonu èetiri mjeseca.
48 And the men of Israel, turning again against the children of Benjamin, put to the sword without mercy all the towns and the cattle and everything there was, burning every town which came into their hands.
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.
