1И Авимелех син Јеровалов отиде у Сихем к браћи матере своје и рече њима и свему роду отачкога дома матере своје говорећи:
1And Abimelech the son of Jerobaal went to Sichem to his mother’s brethren and spoke to them, and to all the kindred of his mother’s father, saying:
2Кажите свим Сихемљанима: Шта вам је боље, да су вам господари седамдесет људи, сви синови Јеровалови, или да вам је господар један човек? И опомињите се да сам ја кост ваша и тело ваше.
2Speak to all the men of Sichem: whether is better for you that seventy men all the sons of Jerobaal should rule over you, or that one man should rule over you? And withal consider that I am your bone, and your flesh.
3Тада рекоше браћа матере његове за њ свим Сихемљанима све те речи, и срце њихово приви се к Авимелеху, јер рекоше: Наш је брат.
3And his mother’s brethren spoke of him to all the men of Sichem, all these words, and they inclined their hearts after Abimelech, saying: He is our brother:
4И дадоше му седамдесет сикала сребра из дома Вал-Веритовог, за које најми Авимелех људи празнова и скитница, те иђаху за њим.
4And they gave him seventy weight of silver out of the temple of Baalberith: wherewith he hired to himself men that were needy, and vagabonds, and they followed him.
5И дође у кућу оца свог у Офру, и поби браћу своју, синове Јеровалове, седамдесет људи, на једном камену; али оста Јотам најмлађи син Јеровалов, јер се сакри.
5And he came to his father’s house in Ephra, and slew his brethren the sons of Jerobaal, seventy men, upon one stone: and there remained only Joatham the youngest son of Jerobaal, who was hidden.
6Тада се скупише сви Сихемљани и сав дом Милов, и отидоше и поставише Авимелеха царем код храста који стоји у Сихему.
6And all the men of Sichem were gathered together, and all the families of the city of Mello: and they went and made Abimelech king, by the oak that stood in Sichem.
7А кад то јавише Јотаму, отиде и стаде наврх горе Гаризина, и подигавши глас свој повика и рече им: Чујте ме, Сихемљани, тако вас Бог чуо!
7This being told to Joatham, he went and stood on the top of mount Garizim: and lifting up his voice, he cried, and said: Hear me, ye men of Sichem, so may God hear you.
8Ишла дрвета да помажу себи цара, па рекоше маслини: Буди нам цар.
8The trees went to anoint a king over them: and they said to the olive tree: Reign thou over us.
9А маслина им рече: Зар ја да оставим претилину своју, којом се част чини Богу и људима, па да идем да тумарам за друга дрвета?
9And it answered: Can I leave my fatness, which both gods and men make use of, to come to be promoted among the trees?
10Потом рекоше дрвета смокви: Ходи ти, буди нам цар.
10And the trees said to the fig tree: Come thou and reign over us.
11А смоква им рече: Зар ја да оставим сласт своју и красни род свој, па да идем да тумарам за друга дрвета?
11And it answered them: Can I leave my sweetness, and my delicious fruits, and go to be promoted among the other trees?
12Тада рекоше дрвета виновој лози: Ходи ти, буди нам цар.
12And the trees said to the vine: Come thou and reign over us.
13А лоза им рече: Зар ја да оставим вино своје, које весели Бога и људе, па да идем да тумарам за друга дрвета?
13And it answered them: Can I forsake my wine, that cheereth God and men, and be promoted among the other trees?
14Тада сва дрвета рекоше трну: Ходи ти, буди нам цар.
14And all the trees said to the bramble: Come thou and reign over us.
15А трн одговори дрветима: Ако доиста хоћете мене да помажете себи за цара, ходите склоните се у хлад мој; ако ли нећете, нека изиђе огањ из трна и спали кедре ливанске.
15And it answered them: If indeed you mean to make me king, come ye and rest under my shadow: but if you mean it not, let fire come out from the bramble, and devour the cedars of Libanus.
16Тако сада, јесте ли право и поштено радили поставивши Авимелеха царем? И јесте ли добро учинили Јеровалу и дому његовом? И јесте ли му учинили како вас је задужио?
16Now therefore if you have done well, and without sin in appointing Abimelech king over you, and have dealt well with Jerobaal, and with his house, and have made a suitable return for the benefits of him, who fought for you,
17Јер је отац мој војевао за вас и није марио за живот свој, и избавио вас је из руку мадијанских.
17And exposed his life to dangers, to deliver you from the hands of Madian,
18А ви данас устасте на дом оца мог, и побисте синове његове, седамдесет људи, на једном камену, и постависте царем Авимелеха, сина слушкиње његове, над Сихемљанима зато што је брат ваш.
18And you are now risen up against my father’s house, and have killed his sons seventy men upon one stone, and have made Abimelech the son of his handmaid king over the inhabitants of Sichem, because he is your brother:
19Ако сте право и поштено радили данас према Јеровалу и његовом дому, веселите се с Авимелеха и он нека се весели с вас.
19If therefore you have dealt well, and without fault with Jerobaal, and his house, rejoice ye this day in Abimelech, and may he rejoice in you.
20Ако ли нисте, нека изиђе огањ од Авимелеха и спали Сихемљане и дом Милов, и нека изиђе огањ од Сихемљана и од дома Миловог и спали Авимелеха.
20But if unjustly: let fire come out from him, and consume the inhabitants of Sichem, and the town of Mello: and let fire come out from the men of Sichem, and from the town of Mello, and devour Abimelech.
21Тада побеже Јотам, и побегав дође у Вир, и онде оста бојећи се Авимелеха брата свог.
21And when he had said thus he fled, and went into Bera: and dwelt there for fear of Abimelech his brother.
22И влада Авимелех Израиљем три године.
22So Abimelech reigned over Israel for three years.
23Али Бог пусти злу вољу међу Авимелеха и међу Сихемљане; и Сихемљани изневерише Авимелеха.
23And the Lord sent a very evil spirit between Abimelech and the inhabitants of Sichem: who began to detest him,
24Да би се осветила неправда учињена на седамдесет синова Јеровалових, и крв њихова да би дошла на Авимелеха брата њиховог, који их уби, и на Сихемљане, који укрепише руку његову да убије браћу своју.
24And to leave the crime of the murder of the seventy sons of Jerobaal, and the shedding of their blood upon Abimelech their brother, and upon the rest of the princes of the Sichemites, who aided him.
25И Сихемљани пометаше му заседе по врховима горским, па плењаху све који пролажаху мимо њих оним путем. И би јављено Авимелеху.
25And they set an ambush against him on the top of the mountains: and while they waited for his coming, they committed robberies, taking spoils of all that passed by: and it was told Abimelech.
26Потом дође Гал син Еведов са својом браћом, и уђоше у Сихем, и Сихемљани се поуздаше у њ.
26And Gaal the son of Obed came with his brethren, and went over to Sichem. And the inhabitants of Sichem taking courage at his coming,
27И изишавши у поље браше винограде своје и газише грожђе, и веселише се; и уђоше у кућу бога свог; и једоше и пише, и псоваше Авимелеха.
27Went out into the fields, wasting the vineyards, and treading down the grapes: and singing and dancing they went into the temple of their god, and in their banquets and cups they cursed Abimelech.
28И Гал син Еведов рече: Ко је Авимелех и шта је Сихем, да му служимо? Није ли син Јеровалов? А Зевул није ли његов пристав? Служите синовима Емора оца Сихемовог. А што бисмо служили томе?
28And Gaal the son of Obed cried: Who is Abimelech, and what is Sichem, that we should serve him? Is he not the son of Jerobaal, and hath made Zebul his servant ruler over the men of Emor the father of Sichem? Why then shall we serve him?
29О кад би тај народ био под мојом руком, да сметнем Авимелеха! И рече Авимелеху: Прикупи војску своју, и изиђи.
29Would to God that some man would put this people under my hand, that I might remove Abimelech out of the way. And it was said to Abimelech: Gather together the multitude of an army, and come.
30А кад чу Зевул, управитељ градски, речи Гала сина Еведовог, разгневи се врло.
30For Zebul the ruler of the city, hearing the words of Gaal, the son of Obed, was very angry,
31И посла тајно посланике к Авимелеху и поручи му: Ево Гал син Еведов и браћа му дођоше у Сихем, и ево побунише град на те.
31And sent messengers privately to Abimelech, saying: Behold Gaal the son of Obed is come into Sichem with his brethren, and endeavoureth to set the city against thee.
32Него устани ноћу ти и народ што је с тобом, и заседи у пољу.
32Arise therefore in the night with the people that is with thee and he hid in the field:
33А ујутро кад сунце огране, дигни се и удари на град; и ево он и народ који је с њим изићи ће преда те, па учини с њим шта ти може рука.
33And betimes in the morning at sun rising set upon the city. And when he shall come out against thee with his people, do to him what thou shalt be able.
34И Авимелех уста ноћу и сав народ што беше са њим; и заседоше Сихему у четири чете.
34Abimelech therefore arose with all his army by night, and laid ambushes near Sichem in four places.
35А Гал син Еведов изиђе и стаде пред вратима градским; а Авимелех и народ што беше са њим изиђе из заседе.
35And Gaal the son of Obed went out, and stood in the entrance of the gate of the city. And Abimelech rose up, and all his army with him from the places of the ambushes.
36А Гал видевши народ рече Зевулу: Ено народ силази сврх горе. А Зевул му одговори: Од сена горског чине ти се људи.
36And when Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul: Behold a multitude cometh down from the mountains. And he answered him: Thou seest the shadows of the mountains as if they were the heads of men, and this is thy mistake.
37Опет проговори Гал и рече: Ено народ силази с виса, и чета једна иде путем к шуми меоненимској.
37Again Gaal said: Behold there cometh people down from the middle of the land, and one troop cometh by the way that looketh towards the oak.
38А Зевул му рече: Где су ти сада уста, којима си говорио: Ко је Авимелех да му служимо? Није ли то онај народ који си презирао? Изиђи сада, и биј се с њим.
38And Zebul said to him: Where is now thy mouth wherewith thou saidst? Who is Abimelech that we should serve him? Is not this the people which thou didst despise? Go out, and fight against him.
39И изиђе Гал пред Сихемљанима, и поби се с Авимелехом.
39So Gaal went out in the sight of the people of Sichem, and fought against Abimelech,
40Али Авимелех га потера, и он побеже од њега; и падоше многи побијени до самих врата градских.
40Who chased and put him to flight, and drove him to the city: and many were slain of his people, even to the gate of the city:
41И Авимелех оста у Аруми; а Зевул истера Гала и браћу његову, те не могаху седети у Сихему.
41And Abimelech sat down in Ruma: but Zebul drove Gaal, and his companions out of the city, and would not suffer them to abide in it.
42А сутрадан изиђе народ у поље и би јављено Авимелеху.
42So the day following the people went out into the field. And it was told Abimelech.
43А он узе народ свој и раздели га у три чете, и намести их у заседу у пољу; и кад виде где народ излази из града, скочи на њ их и поби их.
43And he took his army, and divided it into three companies, and laid ambushes in the fields. And seeing that the people came out of the city, he arose and set upon them,
44Јер Авимелех и чета која беше с њим ударише и стадоше код врата градских; а друге две чете ударише на све оне који беху у пољу, и побише их.
44With his own company, assaulting and besieging the city: whilst the two other companies chased the enemies that were scattered about the field.
45И Авимелех бијаше град цео онај дан, и узе га, и поби народ који беше у њему, и раскопа град, и посеја со по њему.
45And Abimelech assaulted the city all that day: and took it, and killed the inhabitants thereof, and demolished it, so that he sowed salt in it.
46А кад то чуше који беху у кули сихемској, уђоше у кулу куће бога Верита.
46And when they who dwelt in the tower of Sichem had heard this, they went into the temple of their god Berith where they had made a covenant with him, and from thence the place had taken its name, and it was exceeding strong.
47И би јављено Авимелеху да су се онде скупили сви који беху у кули сихемској.
47Abimelech also hearing that the men of the tower of Sichem were gathered together,
48Тада Авимелех изиђе на гору Салмон, он и сав народ што беху са њим; и узевши Авимелех секиру у руку одсече грану од дрвета и метну је на раме, и рече народу који беше с њим: Шта видесте да сам ја учинио, брзо чините као ја.
48Went up into mount Selmon he and all his people with him: and taking an axe, he cut down the bough of a tree, and laying it on his shoulder and carrying it, he said to his companions: What you see me do, do you out of hand.
49И сваки из народа одсече себи грану, и пођоше за Авимелехом и пометаше гране око куле, и запалише њима град; и изгибоше сви који беху у кули сихемској, око хиљаду људи и жена.
49So they cut down boughs from the trees, every man as fast as he could, and followed their leader. And surrounding the fort they set it on fire: and so it came to pass that with the smoke and with the fire a thousand persons were killed, men and women together, of the inhabitants of the tower of Sichem.
50Потом отиде Авимелех на Тевес, и стаде у логор код Тевеса, и узе га.
50Then Abimelech departing from thence came to the town of Thebes, which he surrounded and besieged with his army.
51А беше тврда кула усред града, и у њу побегоше сви људи и жене и сви грађани, и затворивши се попеше се на кров од куле.
51And there was in the midst of the city a high tower, to which both the men and the women were fled together, and all the princes of the city, and having shut and strongly barred the gate, they stood upon the battlements of the tower to defend themselves.
52А Авимелех дође до куле и удари на њу, и дође до врата од куле да је запали огњем.
52And Abimelech coming near the tower, fought stoutly: and approaching to the gate, endeavoured to set fire to it:
53Али једна жена баци комад жрвња на главу Авимелеху и разби му главу.
53And behold a certain woman casting a piece of a millstone from above, dashed it against the head of Abimelech, and broke his skull.
54А он брже викну момка који му ношаше оружје, и рече му: Извади мач свој и уби ме, да не кажу за ме: Жена га је убила. И прободе га слуга његов, те умре.
54And he called hastily to his armourbearer, and said to him: Draw thy sword, and kill me: lest it should be said that I was slain by a woman. He did as he was commanded, and slew him.
55А кад видеше Израиљци где погибе Авимелех, отидоше сваки у своје место.
55And when he was dead, all the men of Israel that were with him, returned to their homes.
56Тако плати Бог Авимелеху за зло које је учинио оцу свом убивши седамдесет браће своје.
56And God repaid the evil, that Abimelech had done against his father, killing his seventy brethren.
57И све зло људи Сихемљана поврати Бог на њихове главе, и стече им се клетва Јотама сина Јероваловог.
57The Sichemites also were rewarded for what they had done, and the curse of Joatham the son of Jerobaal came upon them.
