Judges 20
1 All the Israelis, from Dan [city in the north] to Beersheba [city in the south], and even from [the] Gilead [region on the east side of the Jordan River, heard what had happened. So they] they gathered together at Mizpah, [at the place where they worshiped] Yahweh.
Тада изиђоше сви синови Израиљеви, и сабра се сав народ једнодушно, од Дана до Вирсавеје и до земље Галадове, ка Господу у Миспу.
2 The leaders of [eleven of] the tribes of Israel stood in front of the people who gathered there. There were 400,000 men with swords who were there.
И главари свега народа, свих племена Израиљевих, дођоше на збор народа Божјег, четири стотине хиљада људи пешака који махаху мачем.
3 The people of the tribe of Benjamin heard that the other Israelis had gone up to Mizpah, [but none of the men from their tribe went to the meeting there]. The Israelis who had come to Mizpah asked about the evil thing that had happened.
А синови Венијаминови чуше да су синови Израиљеви отишли у Миспу. Синови Израиљеви рекоше: Кажите како се догодило то зло.
4 So the husband of the woman who had been killed replied, “My slave wife and I came to Gibeah [city], wanting to stay there that night.
А Левит, муж убијене жене одговори и рече: Дођох с иночом својом у Гавају Венијаминову да преноћим.
5 That evening, the men of Gibeah came to attack me. They surrounded the house [where I was staying] and wanted to [have sex with me and then] kill me. They [raped and] abused my slave wife [all night], and she died.
А Гавајани усташе на ме, опколише ме у кући ноћу, и хтеше ме убити; и иночу моју злоставише тако да умре.
6 I took her body home and cut it into pieces. Then I sent one piece to each area of Israel, [because I wanted you all to know about] this wicked and disgraceful/shameful thing [that] has been done here in Israel.
Зато узевши иночу своју исекох је на комаде и разаслах је у све крајеве наследства Израиљевог; јер учинише грдило и срамоту у Израиљу.
7 So now, all you Israeli people, speak, and tell me what you think should be done!”
Ето, ви сте сви синови Израиљеви; промислите и већајте.
8 All the people stood up, and in unison said, “None of us will go home! Not one of us will return to his house!
А сав народ уста једнодушно и рече: Да не идемо ниједан к шатору свом, и ни један да се не враћа кући својој.
9 This is what we must do to [the people of] Gibeah. First, we will (cast lots/throw marked stones) [to determine which group should attack them].
Него ово да учинимо Гаваји: Да бацимо жреб за њу.
10 We will choose (one tenth/one from every ten) of the men from all the Israeli tribes. Those men will go and find food for the men who will go to attack the people of Gibeah. Then the other men will go to Gibeah to (pay the people back/punish them) for this terrible thing that they have done [here] in Israel.”
Да узмемо по десет људи од стотине по свим племенима Израиљевим, и по стотину од хиљаде, и по хиљаду од десет хиљада, да донесе храну народу, а он да иде да учини Гаваји Венијаминовој како је заслужила грдилом које је учинила Израиљу.
11 And all the Israeli people agreed [that the people of Gibeah should be punished].
И скупи се сав народ Израиљев на онај град сложивши се једнодушно.
12 Then the Israeli men sent messengers throughout the tribe of Benjamin. They demanded, “Do you realize that some of your men have done a very evil thing?
Тада послаше племена Израиљева људе у све породице Венијаминове, и поручише им: Какво се то зло учини међу вама?
13 Bring those wicked men to us, in order that we can execute them. [By doing that], we will be doing what should be done because of this evil thing that has happened in Israel.” But the [people of the] tribe of Benjamin did not pay attention to their fellow Israelis.
Сада дајте те безаконике што су у Гаваји, да их погубимо и извадимо зло из Израиља. Али не хтеше синови Венијаминови послушати браћу своју, синове Израиљеве.
14 The men of the tribe of Benjamin left their cities and gathered at Gibeah to fight the [other] Israelis.
Него се скупише синови Венијаминови из својих места у Гавају да изиђу да се бију са синовима Израиљевим.
15 In that one day the men of the tribe of Benjamin recruited 26,000 soldiers who knew how to fight using swords. They also chose/recruited 700 men from Gibeah.
И наброја се у то време синова Венијаминових из њихових градова двадесет и шест хиљада људи који махаху мачем осим становника гавајских, којих беше на број седам стотина људи одабраних.
16 From all those soldiers there were 700 men who were left-handed, and each of them could sling a stone at [a target that was very small and as narrow as] a hair, and the stone always hit the target!
У свем том народу беше седам стотина људи одабраних, који беху леваци, и сваки гађаше каменом из праћке у длаку не промашујући.
17 There were 400,000 men from the other Israeli tribes who had swords.
А људи Израиљаца наброја се осим синова Венијаминових четири стотине хиљада људи који махаху мачем, самих војника.
18 Those other Israelis went up to Bethel and asked God, “Which tribe should be the first to attack the men from the tribe of Benjamin?” Yahweh answered, “[The men from the tribe of] Judah should go first.”
И уставши отидоше к дому Бога Силнога, и упиташе Бога и рекоше синови Израиљеви: Ко ће између нас ићи први у бој на синове Венијаминове? А Господ рече: Јуда нек иде први.
19 The next morning, the Israeli men went and set up their tents near Gibeah.
Потом уставши рано синови Израиљеви стадоше у логор према Гаваји.
20 Then they went to fight against [the men from the tribe of] Benjamin, and stood in their positions for fighting a battle, [facing Gibeah].
И изиђоше синови Израиљеви у бој на синове Венијаминове, и уврсташе се синови Израиљеви да ударе на Гавају.
21 The men of the tribe of Benjamin came out of Gibeah and fought against them, and they killed 22,000 Israeli men on that day.
А синови Венијаминови изиђоше из Гаваје, и поваљаше по земљи између Израиљаца у онај дан двадесет и две хиљаде људи.
22 [Late that afternoon], the [remaining] Israeli men went to the place of worship and cried until the sun set. Then they asked Yahweh, “Should we attack the men of the tribe of Benjamin again, even though they are our fellow Israelis?” Yahweh replied, “Yes, attack them again.” So the Israeli men encouraged each other.
Али се народ синова Израиљевих ослободи, те се опет уврсташе на истом месту где се беху уврстали првог дана.
Јер синови Израиљеви отидоше те плакаше пред Господом до вечера, и упиташе Господа говорећи: Хоћемо ли опет изаћи у бој на синове Венијамина брата свог? А Господ им рече: Изиђите на њих.
24 The next day they again stood in their positions for fighting, just like they had done on the previous day.
И изиђоше синови Израиљеви на синове Венијаминове други дан.
25 The men of the tribe of Benjamin came out of Gibeah and attacked the Israelis, and killed 18,000 more of their men.
И синови Венијаминови изиђоше пред њих из Гаваје други дан; и поваљаше по земљи између синова Израиљевих опет осамнаест хиљада људи, који сви махаху мачем.
26 [In the afternoon], all the people of Israel [who had not been killed] again went to Bethel. There they sat down and cried to Yahweh, and they (fasted/abstained from eating food) until it was evening. They brought some offerings which they burned completely [on the altar], and they also brought some offerings to maintain fellowship with Yahweh.
Тада сви синови Израиљеви и сав народ изиђоше и дођоше к дому Бога Силнога, и плакаше и стајаше онде пред Господом, и постише се онај дан до вечера, и принесоше жртве паљенице и жртве захвалне пред Господом.
27 At that time, the Sacred Chest that contained the stone tablets on which were written the Ten Commandments was there at Bethel. A priest named Phinehas, the son of Eleazar and grandson of Aaron, often stood in front of that chest [and talked with Yahweh]. While he stood there on that day, he asked Yahweh, “Shall we go again to fight against our fellow Israelis from the tribe of Benjamin, or shall we stop fighting against them?” Yahweh answered, “Go again tomorrow, because tomorrow I will enable you to defeat them.”
Па упиташе синови Израиљеви Господа; јер онде беше ковчег завета Божјег у оно време;
И Финес син Елеазара сина Ароновог стајаше пред њим у оно време. И рекоше: Хоћемо ли опет изаћи у бој на синове Венијамина брата свог или ћемо се оканити? А Господ им рече: Изиђите, јер ћу их сутра предати вама у руке.
29 So [the next day, 10,000 of] the Israeli men (set up ambushes/went to hide) [in the fields] around Gibeah.
Тада намести Израиљ заседе око Гаваје.
30 The [other] Israeli men went and stood in their positions for fighting a battle just like they had done on the previous days.
И синови Израиљеви изиђоше трећи дан на синове Венијаминове, и уврсташе се према Гаваји као првом и другом.
31 When the men of the tribe of Benjamin came out of the city to fight against them, the Israeli men retreated away from the city, and the men of the tribe of Benjamin pursued them. The men of the tribe of Benjamin killed many Israelis, like they had done before. They killed about 30 Israelis. They killed some in the fields, and they killed some on the road that went to Bethel and on the road that went to Gibeah.
А синови Венијаминови изашавши пред народ одвојише се од града, и стадоше бити и сећи народ као првом и другом по путевима, од којих један иде к дому Бога Силнога а други у Гавају, и по пољу, и убише до тридесет људи из Израиља.
32 The men of the tribe of Benjamin said, “We are defeating them like we did before!” But then Israeli men did what they had planned. The main group of Israeli men retreated a short distance from the city, to [trick] the men of Gibeah and cause them to pursue the Israeli men along the roads outside the city.
И рекоше синови Венијаминови: Падају пред нама као пре. А синови Израиљеви рекоше: Да бежимо да их отргнемо од града на путеве.
33 The main group of Israeli men left their positions and retreated, and then they stood in their battle positions again at a place named Baal-Tamar.
Тада сви синови Израиљеви кретоше се са свог места и уврсташе се у Вал-Тамару; и заседе Израиљеве искочише из места свог, из лука гавајских.
34 Then [while the men of Gibeah were running out of the city toward them], the other 10,000 Israelis came out from the places where they had been hiding, west of Gibeah. They were men who had come from all parts of Israel. There was a very big battle. But the men of the tribe of Benjamin did not know that they were about to suffer a disastrous defeat.
И дође на Гавају десет хиљада људи изабраних из свега Израиља, и бој поста жешћи, а они не опазише да ће их зло задесити.
35 Yahweh enabled the Israeli men to defeat the men of the tribe of Benjamin. They killed 25,000 of them, even though they all were using swords. [This is what happened]:
И Господ поби Венијамина пред Израиљем, и синови Израиљеви погубише онај дан од синова Венијаминових двадесет и пет хиљада и сто људи, који сви мачем махаху.
36 The main group of Israeli men arranged with the men who would be hiding that they should send up a smoke signal to enable the main group of soldiers to know when they should attack. Then the main group of Israeli men retreated for a short distance, because they knew that the other Israeli men who had been hiding on the other side of Gibeah would attack the people of the tribe of Benjamin by surprise. So [after the main group of Israeli men retreated a little distance], the men who had been hiding rushed out and ran into Gibeah and used their swords to kill everyone in the city. [Then they started to burn the buildings].
И синови Венијаминови видеше да су надбијени: јер синови Израиљеви узмакоше испред синова Венијаминових уздајући се у заседе које беху наместили код Гаваје;
А они што беху у заседи навалише брже у Гавају, и ушавши исекоше све по граду оштрим мачем.
А беху синови Израиљеви уговорили с онима у заседи да за знак запале ватру да се дигне велик дим из града.
39 By that time, the men of the tribe of Benjamin said, “We are winning the battle, as we did before!”
Тако синови Израиљеви стадоше бежати из боја, а синови Венијаминови почеше убијати, и исекоше до тридесет људи између синова Израиљевих говорећи: Доиста падају пред нама као у пређашњем боју.
40 But then smoke [from the burning buildings] began to rise up from the city. The men of the tribe of Benjamin turned around and saw that the whole city was burning.
Али кад се пламен и дим као стуб диже из града, обазреше се синови Венијаминови, и гле, огањ се из града дизаше до неба.
41 Then the main group of Israeli men [also saw the smoke, and they knew that the smoke signaled that they should] turn around and begin to attack. The men of the tribe of Benjamin were very afraid, because they realized that they were about to suffer a disastrous defeat.
Тада се вратише синови Израиљеви, а синови Венијаминови сметоше се видећи да их је зло задесило;
42 So the men of the tribe of Benjamin tried to run away toward the desert to escape from the Israeli men, but they were not able to escape, because the Israeli men who had burned the two cities came out of those cities and killed many of them.
И побегоше испред синова Израиљевих к пустињи; али их војска гоњаше, и који из градова излажаху, бише их међу собом.
43 They surrounded [some of] the men of the tribe of Benjamin, and pursued the others to the area east of Gibeah.
Тако опколише синове Венијаминове, гонише их, тлачише их од Менује до Гаваје к истоку.
44 They killed 18,000 strong soldiers of the tribe of Benjamin.
И погибе синова Венијаминових осамнаест хиљада људи, самих јунака.
45 Then the rest of the men of the tribe of Benjamin realized that they had been defeated. They ran toward the desert to Rimmon Rock, but the Israeli men killed 5,000 more men of the tribe of Benjamin along the roads. They pursued the rest of them to Gidom, and they killed 2,000 more men of the tribe of Benjamin there.
А оних што се окретоше и побегоше у пустињу к стени Римону, напабирчише их по путевима пет хиљада људи, и тераше их до Гидома и побише их две хиљаде људи.
46 Altogether, there were 25,000 men of the tribe of Benjamin who were killed, all of whom had swords.
И тако свега погибе онај дан синова Венијаминових двадесет и пет хиљада људи који махаху мачем, све самих јунака.
47 But 600 men of the tribe of Benjamin ran to Rimmon Rock in the desert. They stayed there for four months.
И беше шест стотина људи који се окретоше и утекоше у пустињу к стени Римону, и осташе на стени Римону четири месеца.
48 Then the Israeli men went back to the land belonging to the tribe of Benjamin, and killed the people in every city. They also killed all the animals, and destroyed everything else that they found there. And they burned all the cities that they came to.
Потом синови Израиљеви вративши се к синовима Венијаминовим исекоше оштрим мачем и људе по градовима и стоку и шта се год нађе; и све градове који осташе попалише огњем.
