1 I Avimeleh sin Jerovalov otide u Sihem k braći matere svoje i reče njima i svemu rodu otačkoga doma matere svoje govoreći:
1 Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal went to Shechem to his mother’s brothers, and spoke with them and with all the family of the house of his mother’s father, saying,
2 Kažite svim Sihemljanima: Šta vam je bolje, da su vam gospodari sedamdeset ljudi, svi sinovi Jerovalovi, ili da vam je gospodar jedan čovek? I opominjite se da sam ja kost vaša i telo vaše.
2 “Please speak in the ears of all the men of Shechem, ‘Is it better for you that all the sons of Jerubbaal, who are seventy persons, rule over you, or that one rule over you?’ Remember also that I am your bone and your flesh.”
3 Tada rekoše braća matere njegove za nj svim Sihemljanima sve te reči, i srce njihovo privi se k Avimelehu, jer rekoše: Naš je brat.
3 His mother’s brothers spoke of him in the ears of all the men of Shechem all these words. Their hearts inclined to follow Abimelech; for they said, “He is our brother.”
4 I dadoše mu sedamdeset sikala srebra iz doma Val-Veritovog, za koje najmi Avimeleh ljudi praznova i skitnica, te iđahu za njim.
4 They gave him seventy pieces of silver out of the house of Baal Berith, with which Abimelech hired vain and reckless fellows who followed him.
5 I dođe u kuću oca svog u Ofru, i pobi braću svoju, sinove Jerovalove, sedamdeset ljudi, na jednom kamenu; ali osta Jotam najmlađi sin Jerovalov, jer se sakri.
5 He went to his father’s house at Ophrah, and killed his brothers the sons of Jerubbaal, being seventy persons, on one stone; but Jotham the youngest son of Jerubbaal was left, for he hid himself.
6 Tada se skupiše svi Sihemljani i sav dom Milov, i otidoše i postaviše Avimeleha carem kod hrasta koji stoji u Sihemu.
6 All the men of Shechem assembled themselves together with all the house of Millo, and went and made Abimelech king by the oak of the pillar that was in Shechem.
7 A kad to javiše Jotamu, otide i stade navrh gore Garizina, i podigavši glas svoj povika i reče im: Čujte me, Sihemljani, tako vas Bog čuo!
7 When they told it to Jotham, he went and stood on the top of Mount Gerizim and lifted up his voice, cried out, and said to them, “Listen to me, you men of Shechem, that God may listen to you.
8 Išla drveta da pomažu sebi cara, pa rekoše maslini: Budi nam car.
8 The trees set out to anoint a king over themselves. They said to the olive tree, ‘Reign over us.’
9 A maslina im reče: Zar ja da ostavim pretilinu svoju, kojom se čast čini Bogu i ljudima, pa da idem da tumaram za druga drveta?
9 “But the olive tree said to them, ‘Should I stop producing my oil, with which they honor God and man by me, and go to wave back and forth over the trees?’
10 Potom rekoše drveta smokvi: Hodi ti, budi nam car.
10 “The trees said to the fig tree, ‘Come and reign over us.’
11 A smokva im reče: Zar ja da ostavim slast svoju i krasni rod svoj, pa da idem da tumaram za druga drveta?
11 “But the fig tree said to them, ‘Should I leave my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to wave back and forth over the trees?’
12 Tada rekoše drveta vinovoj lozi: Hodi ti, budi nam car.
12 “The trees said to the vine, ‘Come and reign over us.’
13 A loza im reče: Zar ja da ostavim vino svoje, koje veseli Boga i ljude, pa da idem da tumaram za druga drveta?
13 “The vine said to them, ‘Should I leave my new wine, which cheers God and man, and go to wave back and forth over the trees?’
14 Tada sva drveta rekoše trnu: Hodi ti, budi nam car.
14 “Then all the trees said to the bramble, ‘Come and reign over us.’
15 A trn odgovori drvetima: Ako doista hoćete mene da pomažete sebi za cara, hodite sklonite se u hlad moj; ako li nećete, neka iziđe oganj iz trna i spali kedre livanske.
15 “The bramble said to the trees, ‘If in truth you anoint me king over you, then come and take refuge in my shade; and if not, let fire come out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon.’
16 Tako sada, jeste li pravo i pošteno radili postavivši Avimeleha carem? I jeste li dobro učinili Jerovalu i domu njegovom? I jeste li mu učinili kako vas je zadužio?
16 “Now therefore, if you have dealt truly and righteously, in that you have made Abimelech king, and if you have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have done to him according to the deserving of his hands
17 Jer je otac moj vojevao za vas i nije mario za život svoj, i izbavio vas je iz ruku madijanskih.
17 (for my father fought for you, risked his life, and delivered you out of the hand of Midian;
18 A vi danas ustaste na dom oca mog, i pobiste sinove njegove, sedamdeset ljudi, na jednom kamenu, i postaviste carem Avimeleha, sina sluškinje njegove, nad Sihemljanima zato što je brat vaš.
18 and you have risen up against my father’s house today and have slain his sons, seventy persons, on one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his female servant, king over the men of Shechem, because he is your brother);
19 Ako ste pravo i pošteno radili danas prema Jerovalu i njegovom domu, veselite se s Avimeleha i on neka se veseli s vas.
19 if you then have dealt truly and righteously with Jerubbaal and with his house today, then rejoice in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice in you;
20 Ako li niste, neka iziđe oganj od Avimeleha i spali Sihemljane i dom Milov, i neka iziđe oganj od Sihemljana i od doma Milovog i spali Avimeleha.
20 but if not, let fire come out from Abimelech and devour the men of Shechem and the house of Millo; and let fire come out from the men of Shechem and from the house of Millo and devour Abimelech.”
21 Tada pobeže Jotam, i pobegav dođe u Vir, i onde osta bojeći se Avimeleha brata svog.
21 Jotham ran away and fled, and went to Beer and lived there, for fear of Abimelech his brother.
22 I vlada Avimeleh Izrailjem tri godine.
22 Abimelech was prince over Israel three years.
23 Ali Bog pusti zlu volju među Avimeleha i među Sihemljane; i Sihemljani izneveriše Avimeleha.
23 Then God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech,
24 Da bi se osvetila nepravda učinjena na sedamdeset sinova Jerovalovih, i krv njihova da bi došla na Avimeleha brata njihovog, koji ih ubi, i na Sihemljane, koji ukrepiše ruku njegovu da ubije braću svoju.
24 that the violence done to the seventy sons of Jerubbaal might come, and that their blood might be laid on Abimelech their brother who killed them, and on the men of Shechem who strengthened his hands to kill his brothers.
25 I Sihemljani pometaše mu zasede po vrhovima gorskim, pa plenjahu sve koji prolažahu mimo njih onim putem. I bi javljeno Avimelehu.
25 The men of Shechem set an ambush for him on the tops of the mountains, and they robbed all who came along that way by them; and Abimelech was told about it.
26 Potom dođe Gal sin Evedov sa svojom braćom, i uđoše u Sihem, i Sihemljani se pouzdaše u nj.
26 Gaal the son of Ebed came with his brothers and went over to Shechem; and the men of Shechem put their trust in him.
27 I izišavši u polje braše vinograde svoje i gaziše grožđe, i veseliše se; i uđoše u kuću boga svog; i jedoše i piše, i psovaše Avimeleha.
27 They went out into the field, harvested their vineyards, trod the grapes, celebrated, and went into the house of their god and ate and drank, and cursed Abimelech.
28 I Gal sin Evedov reče: Ko je Avimeleh i šta je Sihem, da mu služimo? Nije li sin Jerovalov? A Zevul nije li njegov pristav? Služite sinovima Emora oca Sihemovog. A što bismo služili tome?
28 Gaal the son of Ebed said, “Who is Abimelech, and who is Shechem, that we should serve him? Isn’t he the son of Jerubbaal? Isn’t Zebul his officer? Serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem, but why should we serve him?
29 O kad bi taj narod bio pod mojom rukom, da smetnem Avimeleha! I reče Avimelehu: Prikupi vojsku svoju, i iziđi.
29 I wish that this people were under my hand! Then I would remove Abimelech.” He said to Abimelech, “Increase your army and come out!”
30 A kad ču Zevul, upravitelj gradski, reči Gala sina Evedovog, razgnevi se vrlo.
30 When Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his anger burned.
31 I posla tajno poslanike k Avimelehu i poruči mu: Evo Gal sin Evedov i braća mu dođoše u Sihem, i evo pobuniše grad na te.
31 He sent messengers to Abimelech craftily, saying, “Behold, Gaal the son of Ebed and his brothers have come to Shechem; and behold, they incite the city against you.
32 Nego ustani noću ti i narod što je s tobom, i zasedi u polju.
32 Now therefore, go up by night, you and the people who are with you, and lie in wait in the field.
33 A ujutro kad sunce ograne, digni se i udari na grad; i evo on i narod koji je s njim izići će preda te, pa učini s njim šta ti može ruka.
33 It shall be that in the morning, as soon as the sun is up, you shall rise early and rush on the city. Behold, when he and the people who are with him come out against you, then may you do to them as you shall find occasion.”
34 I Avimeleh usta noću i sav narod što beše sa njim; i zasedoše Sihemu u četiri čete.
34 Abimelech rose up, and all the people who were with him, by night, and they laid wait against Shechem in four companies.
35 A Gal sin Evedov iziđe i stade pred vratima gradskim; a Avimeleh i narod što beše sa njim iziđe iz zasede.
35 Gaal the son of Ebed went out, and stood in the entrance of the gate of the city. Abimelech rose up, and the people who were with him, from the ambush.
36 A Gal videvši narod reče Zevulu: Eno narod silazi svrh gore. A Zevul mu odgovori: Od sena gorskog čine ti se ljudi.
36 When Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul, “Behold, people are coming down from the tops of the mountains.” Zebul said to him, “You see the shadows of the mountains as if they were men.”
37 Opet progovori Gal i reče: Eno narod silazi s visa, i četa jedna ide putem k šumi meonenimskoj.
37 Gaal spoke again and said, “Behold, people are coming down by the middle of the land, and one company comes by the way of the oak of Meonenim.”
38 A Zevul mu reče: Gde su ti sada usta, kojima si govorio: Ko je Avimeleh da mu služimo? Nije li to onaj narod koji si prezirao? Iziđi sada, i bij se s njim.
38 Then Zebul said to him, “Now where is your mouth, that you said, ‘Who is Abimelech, that we should serve him?’ Isn’t this the people that you have despised? Please go out now and fight with them.”
39 I iziđe Gal pred Sihemljanima, i pobi se s Avimelehom.
39 Gaal went out before the men of Shechem, and fought with Abimelech.
40 Ali Avimeleh ga potera, i on pobeže od njega; i padoše mnogi pobijeni do samih vrata gradskih.
40 Abimelech chased him, and he fled before him, and many fell wounded, even to the entrance of the gate.
41 I Avimeleh osta u Arumi; a Zevul istera Gala i braću njegovu, te ne mogahu sedeti u Sihemu.
41 Abimelech lived at Arumah; and Zebul drove out Gaal and his brothers, that they should not dwell in Shechem.
42 A sutradan iziđe narod u polje i bi javljeno Avimelehu.
42 On the next day, the people went out into the field; and they told Abimelech.
43 A on uze narod svoj i razdeli ga u tri čete, i namesti ih u zasedu u polju; i kad vide gde narod izlazi iz grada, skoči na nj ih i pobi ih.
43 He took the people and divided them into three companies, and laid wait in the field; and he looked, and behold, the people came out of the city. So, he rose up against them and struck them.
44 Jer Avimeleh i četa koja beše s njim udariše i stadoše kod vrata gradskih; a druge dve čete udariše na sve one koji behu u polju, i pobiše ih.
44 Abimelech and the companies that were with him rushed forward and stood in the entrance of the gate of the city; and the two companies rushed on all who were in the field and struck them.
45 I Avimeleh bijaše grad ceo onaj dan, i uze ga, i pobi narod koji beše u njemu, i raskopa grad, i poseja so po njemu.
45 Abimelech fought against the city all that day; and he took the city and killed the people in it. He beat down the city and sowed it with salt.
46 A kad to čuše koji behu u kuli sihemskoj, uđoše u kulu kuće boga Verita.
46 When all the men of the tower of Shechem heard of it, they entered into the stronghold of the house of Elberith.
47 I bi javljeno Avimelehu da su se onde skupili svi koji behu u kuli sihemskoj.
47 Abimelech was told that all the men of the tower of Shechem were gathered together.
48 Tada Avimeleh iziđe na goru Salmon, on i sav narod što behu sa njim; i uzevši Avimeleh sekiru u ruku odseče granu od drveta i metnu je na rame, i reče narodu koji beše s njim: Šta videste da sam ja učinio, brzo činite kao ja.
48 Abimelech went up to Mount Zalmon, he and all the people who were with him; and Abimelech took an ax in his hand, and cut down a bough from the trees, and took it up, and laid it on his shoulder. Then he said to the people who were with him, “What you have seen me do, make haste, and do as I have done!”
49 I svaki iz naroda odseče sebi granu, i pođoše za Avimelehom i pometaše grane oko kule, i zapališe njima grad; i izgiboše svi koji behu u kuli sihemskoj, oko hiljadu ljudi i žena.
49 All the people likewise each cut down his bough, followed Abimelech, and put them at the base of the stronghold, and set the stronghold on fire over them, so that all the people of the tower of Shechem died also, about a thousand men and women.
50 Potom otide Avimeleh na Teves, i stade u logor kod Tevesa, i uze ga.
50 Then Abimelech went to Thebez and encamped against Thebez, and took it.
51 A beše tvrda kula usred grada, i u nju pobegoše svi ljudi i žene i svi građani, i zatvorivši se popeše se na krov od kule.
51 But there was a strong tower within the city, and all the men and women of the city fled there, and shut themselves in, and went up to the roof of the tower.
52 A Avimeleh dođe do kule i udari na nju, i dođe do vrata od kule da je zapali ognjem.
52 Abimelech came to the tower and fought against it, and came near to the door of the tower to burn it with fire.
53 Ali jedna žena baci komad žrvnja na glavu Avimelehu i razbi mu glavu.
53 A certain woman cast an upper millstone on Abimelech’s head, and broke his skull.
54 A on brže viknu momka koji mu nošaše oružje, i reče mu: Izvadi mač svoj i ubi me, da ne kažu za me: Žena ga je ubila. I probode ga sluga njegov, te umre.
54 Then he called hastily to the young man, his armor bearer, and said to him, “Draw your sword and kill me, that men not say of me, ‘A woman killed him.’ His young man thrust him through, and he died.”
55 A kad videše Izrailjci gde pogibe Avimeleh, otidoše svaki u svoje mesto.
55 When the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, they each departed to his place.
56 Tako plati Bog Avimelehu za zlo koje je učinio ocu svom ubivši sedamdeset braće svoje.
56 Thus God repaid the wickedness of Abimelech, which he did to his father in killing his seventy brothers;
57 I sve zlo ljudi Sihemljana povrati Bog na njihove glave, i steče im se kletva Jotama sina Jerovalovog.
57 and God repaid all the wickedness of the men of Shechem on their heads; and the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal came on them.
