1 Maccabees, 9
1. Meanwhile, when Demetrius heard that Nicanor and his army had fallen in battle, he again positioned Bacchides and Alcimus in Judea, and the right horn of his army with them.
1. Kad je Demetrije doèuo da je u borbi poginuo Nikanor i njegova vojska, ponovo je poslao Bakida i Alkima u Judeju, na èelu desnoga krila.
2. And they traveled by the way that leads to Gilgal, and they set up camp in Mesaloth, which is in Arbela. And they occupied it, and they destroyed the lives of many men.
2. Oni se uputiše prema Galileji i opsjednuše Mesalot na podruèju Arbele. Pošto su ga zauzeli, pogubili su mnogo stanovnika.
3. In the first month of the one hundred and fifty-second year, they positioned the army near Jerusalem.
3. Prvoga mjeseca godine sto pedeset i druge utaborili su se pred Jeruzalemom,
4. And they rose up and went to Berea, with twenty thousand men and two thousand horsemen.
4. a potom su sa dvadeset tisuæa pješaka i dvije tisuæe konjanika otišli u Beerzet.
5. Now Judas had stationed his camp in Elasa, and three thousand chosen men were with him.
5. Juda se sa tri tisuæe odabranih ratnika utaborio u Eleasi.
6. And they saw the multitude of the army, that they were many, and they became very afraid. And many withdrew themselves from the camp, and there remained of them no more than eight hundred men.
6. Videæi velik broj neprijatelja, uplašiše se. Mnogi pobjegoše iz tabora. U njem nije ostalo više od osam stotina ljudi.
7. And Judas saw that his army had slipped away and that the battle pressed upon him, and his heart was shattered, because he did not have time to gather them together, and he was very discouraged.
7. Juda je vidio da mu se vojska raspala prije bitke. Klonulo mu srce jer više nije imao vremena da je sakupi.
8. And so, he said to those who were remaining, “Let us rise up and go against our enemies, perhaps we may be able to fight against them.”
8. Onako zabrinut reèe onima koji su preostali: "Ustanimo! Hajdemo na protivnike! Možda æemo ih ipak suzbiti."
9. But they dissuaded him, saying: “We will not be able, but let us try to save our lives and return to our brothers, and then we will fight against them. For we are but few.”
9. Oni su ga odvraæali rijeèima: "Zasad možemo samo spasiti život, tako da se sa svojom braæom vratimo i nastavimo borbu. Sad nas je zaista premalo."
10. And Judas said: “Far be it from us, to do this thing, so as to flee away from them. But if our time has drawn near, let us die with virtue, on behalf of our brothers, and let us not inflict guilt upon our glory.”
10. Juda odvrati: "Ne, toga neæu nikad uèiniti da od njih bježim! Ako nam je došlo vrijeme, poginimo junaèki za svoju braæu i ne ostavljajmo ljage na svojoj slavi!"
11. And the army moved from the camp, and they stood to meet them. And the horsemen were divided into two parts, and the stone-slingers and archers went before the army, and the first ones were all powerful men, experienced in combat.
11. Vojska je krenula iz tabora i stala prema njima. Konjanici se razdijelili na dva odreda, praæari i strijelci stupiše na èelo vojske, a tako i udarne èete, sve sami junaci. Bakid je držao desno krilo,
12. Moreover, Bacchides was with the right horn, and the legion drew near on both sides, and they sounded the trumpets.
12. bojni se red približavo uza zvuk trube sa dva boka.
13. But those also who were from the side of Judas, these also now cried out, and the earth shook at the noise of the armies. And the battle was joined from morning, even until evening.
13. Oni na Judinoj strani i sami zatrubiše, potresla se zemlja od bojnog tutnja. Bitka se zapodjela ujutro i trajala do veèera.
14. And Judas saw that the stronger part of the army of Bacchides was on the right side, and all the steadfast in heart came together with him.
14. Juda je opazio da je Bakid s jezgrom svoje vojske nadesno: oko njega se okupili svi srèani ljudi
15. And the right part was crushed by them, and he pursued them even to Mount Azotus.
15. i razbili su desno krilo i gonili ga do gore Azara.
16. And those who were with the left horn saw that the right horn was crushed, and so they followed after Judas, and those who were with him, at their back.
16. Ali kad su Sirci s lijevoga krila opazili da im je desno krilo provaljeno, nagnuše za Judom i njegovim ljudima i napadoše ih s leða.
17. And the battle was hard fought, and there fell many wounded from one side and the other.
17. Zametnula se ogorèena borba i ranjeni su mnogi s jedne i druge strane.
18. And Judas fell, and the others fled away.
18. I Juda je pao, a ostali se razbjegli.
19. And Jonathan and Simon carried Judas, their brother, and they buried him in the sepulcher of their fathers, in the city of Modin.
19. Jonatan i Šimun podigli su svog brata Judu i pokopali ga u grobu svojih otaca u Modinu.
20. And all the people of Israel wept for him with a great wailing, and they mourned him for many days.
20. Oplakivao ga je sav Izrael i ljuto tužio za njim, narièuæi više dana ovako:
21. And they said, “Such a powerful man has fallen, who accomplished the salvation of the people of Israel!”
21. "O, kako pade junak, Izraelov spas!"
22. But the rest of the words, about the wars of Judas, and the virtuous acts that he did, and his magnitude, have not been written. For they were very many.
22. Ostala Judina djela, njegovi ratovi, junaštva koja je izvršio i dokazi njegove slave nisu zapisani jer ih bijaše u obilju. Ê(160.-143. prije Krista)
23. And it happened that, after the death of Judas, the iniquitous began to emerge in all the parts of Israel, and they began to encourage all those who worked iniquity.
23. Kad je poginuo Juda, podigli su glave svi bezakonici na svem izraelskom podruèju i ponovo se pojavili svi zlotvori.
24. In those days, there occurred a very great famine, and the entire region handed itself over to Bacchides.
24. Kako je u to vrijeme pritisnula veoma velika glad, zemlja je prešla na njihovu stranu.
25. And Bacchides chose impious men, and he appointed them as rulers of the region.
25. Bakid je namjerno izabirao bezbožne ljude da upravljaju zemljom.
26. And they sought out and persecuted the friends of Judas, and they led them to Bacchides, and he took vengeance on them and abused them.
26. Ti su kod Judinih prijatelja vršili premetaèine i istrage i dovodili ih Bakidu, koji ih je kažnjavao i izvrgavao ruglu.
27. And there occurred a great tribulation in Israel, such as had never been, since the day that there was no prophet seen in Israel.
27. Tada se u Izraelu razbjesnilo takvo ugnjetavanje kakva nije bilo u sve vrijeme otkad se više nije pojavljivao prorok.
28. And all the friends of Judas gathered together, and they said to Jonathan:
28. Onda se okupiše svi Judini prijatelji i rekoše Jonatanu:
29. “Since your brother Judas has fallen away, there is not a man like him to go forth against our enemies, against Bacchides and those who are the enemies of our nation.
29. "Otkako je umro tvoj brat Juda, nema više èovjeka slièna njemu da se opre našim neprijateljima, Bakidu i mrziteljima našega naroda.
30. And so now, we have chosen you in his place, on this day, to be our leader and commander in order to wage our wars.”
30. Zato te, dakle, danas biramo na njegovo mjesto da nam budeš poglavar i voða u borbi koju smo poduzeli."
31. And so, at that time, Jonathan took upon himself the leadership, and he rose up in the place of Judas, his brother.
31. Tako je Jonatan prihvatio vodstvo i naslijedio svoga brata Judu.
32. And Bacchides knew of it, and he sought to kill him.
32. Kad je Bakid za to doznao, samo je gledao da ubije Jonatana.
33. And Jonathan and his brother Simon knew of this, and so did all who were with them. And they fled into the desert of Tekoa, and they settled by the water of lake Asphar.
33. Èim je za to doèuo, Jonatan je sa svojim bratom Šimunom i sa svima onima koji su ih pratili pobjegao u pustinju Tekou i utaborio se kraj vode Asfara.
34. And Bacchides knew of it, and on the day of the Sabbath, he himself arrived, with all his army, across the Jordan.
34. Bakid je to saznao u subotnji dan, pa je i on sa svim svojim vojnicima prešao preko Jordana.
35. And Jonathan sent his brother, a commander of the people, to ask the Nabateans, his friends, to lend them their equipment, which was abundant.
35. Jonatan je poslao svoga brata, kao voðu pratnje, da zamoli prijatelje Nabatejce kako bi kod njih ostavili obilnu opremu.
36. And the sons of Jambri went forth from Medeba, and they captured John, and all that he had, and they went away in possession of these.
36. Ali Amrajevi sinovi, oni iz Medabe, iziðoše i uhvatiše Ivana sa svim što je imao i otiðoše s tim plijenom.
37. After these events, it was reported to Jonathan and his brother Simon that the sons of Jambri were having a great marriage celebration, and that they would be leading the bride, a daughter of one of the great leaders of Canaan, out of Medeba with great fanfare.
37. Poslije tih dogaðaja javili su Jonatanu i njegovu bratu Šimunu da Amrajevi sinovi slave veliku svadbu i da vrlo sveèano iz Nadabata vode nevjestu, kæer jednoga od uglednih ljudi u Kanaanu.
38. And they remembered the blood of John, their brother. And they went up and hid themselves under the cover of the mountain.
38. Tada se oni sjetiše krvavog svršetka svoga brata Ivana. Popeše se i sakriše u gori.
39. And they lifted up their eyes and saw. And behold, a tumult and a well-prepared multitude. And the bridegroom proceeded, with his friends and his brothers, to meet them with timbrels, and musical instruments, and many weapons.
39. Podigoše oèi i vidješe gdje se usred nejasna žagora pomalja velika povorka, kako za njom slijedi ženik sa svojim prijateljima i braæom, a prate ih bubnjevima, glazbalima i bogatom opremom.
40. And they rose up against them out of ambush, and they killed them, and there fell many wounded, and the remainder fled into the mountains, and they took all their spoils.
40. Židovi su nasrnuli na njih iz zasjede i stali ih ubijati. Mnogi su stradali, a ostali utekoše u goru. Odneseno im je sve što su imali.
41. And the marriage celebration was turned into mourning, and the voice of their musical instruments into lamentation.
41. Tako im se svadba okrenula u žalost, a zvuk glazbe u plaè.
42. And they took revenge for the blood of their brother, and they returned to the bank of the Jordan.
42. Pošto su ljuto osvetili krv svoga brata, vratiše se na muljevite obale Jordana.
43. And Bacchides heard about this, and he came on the day of the Sabbath all the way to the coast of the Jordan, with a great force.
43. Kad je to èuo Bakid, došao je u subotnji dan s mnogom vojskom na obalu Jordana.
44. And Jonathan said to his own: “Let us rise up and fight against our enemies. For it is not today, as it was yesterday, or the day before.
44. Tada Jonatan reèe svojim ljudima: "Na noge! Borimo se za svoje živote, jer danas nije kao što je bilo juèer i prekjuèer.
45. For behold, the war is before us, and truly, with the water of the Jordan here and there, and the banks, and the marshes, and the woods: there is no place for us to turn aside.
45. Eto, rat je pred nama i za nama. Posvuda je voda Jordana, mulj i šikarje: nema uzmaka.
46. Therefore, cry out now to heaven so that you may be freed from the hand of your enemies.” And they joined together in warfare.
46. Zato sad zavapite k Nebu da izbjegnete sili svojih neprijatelja!"
47. And Jonathan extended his hand to strike Bacchides, but he turned away from him in retreat.
47. Boj se zametnuo. Jonatan je pružio ruku da udari Bakida, ali mu je ovaj izmakao: skoèio je unazad.
48. And Jonathan, and those who were with him, leaped forward into the Jordan, and they swam across the Jordan to them.
48. Onda se Jonatan sa svojim ljudima baci u Jordan i prepliva na drugu stranu, ali protivnici nisu za njima prelazili preko Jordana.
49. And there fell from the side of Bacchides on that day one thousand men. And they returned to Jerusalem.
49. Taj je dan na Bakidovoj strani palo oko tisuæu ljudi.
50. And they built fortified cities in Judea: the fortification that was in Jericho, and in Emmaus, and in Bethhoron, and in Bethel, and Timnath, and Pharathon, and Tephon, with high walls, and gates, and bars.
50. Vrativši se u Jeruzalem, Bakid poèe u Judeji graditi tvrde gradove, tvrðavu u Jerihonu, Emausu, Bet Horonu, Betelu, Tamnati, Faratonu, Tefonu, s visokim zidovima, vratima i prijevornicama.
51. And he stationed garrisons in them, so that those in Israel became trained in warfare.
51. U svakoj je ostavio posadu da divlja protiv Izraela.
52. And he fortified the city of Bethzur, and of Gazara, and the stronghold, and he stationed auxiliaries in them, with supplies of rations.
52. Utvrdio je Betsur, Gezer i Tvrðu. Po njima je razmjestio vojnike i zalihe hrane.
53. And he took the sons of the leaders of the region for hostages, and put them in the stronghold in Jerusalem under guard.
53. Pokupio je za taoce sinove zemaljskih starješina i stavio ih pod stražu u jeruzalemskoj Tvrði.
54. Now in the second month of the one hundred and fifty-third year, Alcimus instructed that the walls of the inner court of the sanctuary be destroyed, and that the works of the prophets be destroyed. And he began to destroy them.
54. Godine stotinu pedeset i treæe, drugoga mjeseca, zapovjedio je Alkim da sruše zid unutarnjeg dvorišta Svetišta. Tako je uništio djela proroka i poèeo razaranje.
55. At that time, Alcimus was struck, and his works were hindered, and his mouth was closed shut, and he was weakened with paralysis, so that he was no longer able speak a word, nor to give orders concerning his house.
55. U to je vrijeme Alkima udarila kap i sprijeèila njegove pothvate. Usta mu zamuknuše: onako uzet, nije više mogao istisnuti ni rijeèi niti je mogao svojoj kuæi davati naloge.
56. And Alcimus died at that time, in great torment.
56. I Alkim tako umrije u živim mukama.
57. And Bacchides saw that Alcimus was dead. And he returned to the king. And the land was quiet for two years.
57. Kad je Bakid vidio da je Alkim umro, vratio se kralju i judejska je zemlja poèinula dvije godine.
58. And all the iniquitous considered together, saying, “Behold, Jonathan, and those who are with him, live in quietude and confidence. Now, therefore, let us bring forth Bacchides, and he will capture them all, in one night.”
58. Svi su se bezakonici savjetovali ovim rijeèima: "Gle, Jonatan i njegovi žive mirno i bezbrižno. Hajde da sad dovedemo Bakida neka ih u jednoj noæi pohvata sve."
59. So they went and gave counsel to him.
59. Potom su otišli i posavjetovali se s njim.
60. And he rose up, so as to advance with a great army. And he secretly sent letters to his associates who were in Judea, to seize Jonathan and those who were with him. But they were not able, for their plan became known to them.
60. Bakid se podigao s velikom vojskom i tajno pisao svim svojim pristalicama u Judeji da pohvataju Jonatana i njegove ljude. Ali ne mogoše tako, jer su oni doznali za njihovu namjeru.
61. And he apprehended, from the men of the region, those who were the leaders of this malice, fifty men. And he killed them.
61. Štoviše, uhvatili su pedesetak ljudi u zemlji, poèinitelje te opaèine, pa su ih pogubili.
62. And Jonathan, and Simon, and those who were with him, withdrew into Bethbasi, which is in the desert. And he repaired its breaches, and they fortified it.
62. Potom se Jonatan i Šimun sa svojim ljudima skloniše u Betbasi u pustinji. Tu su popravili ono što je ondje bilo opustošeno i mjesto utvrdiše.
63. And Bacchides knew about it, and he gathered together all his multitude. And he reported it to those who were from Judea.
63. Kad je za to doznao Bakid, skupio je sve svoje ljude i pozvao svoje pristaše u Judeji.
64. And he came and made camp above Bethbasi, and he fought against it for many days, and he made machines of war.
64. Otišao se utaboriti kod Betbasija, opsjedao ga više dana i izradio bojne naprave.
65. But Jonathan left behind his brother Simon in the city, and he went out into the country, and he approached with a number of men,
65. Jonatan je u gradu ostavio svoga brata Šimuna, a sam je sa šakom ljudi izišao na obilazak po okolini.
66. and he struck Odomera and his brothers, and the sons of Phasiron, in their tents. And he began to slaughter and to increase in forces.
66. Tukao je Odomeru i njegovu braæu i Fasironove sinove u njihovu taborištu. Poèeli su vojevati i uzlažahu s vojskom.
67. In truth, Simon, and those who were with him, went forth from the city and burned the machines of war,
67. Šimun je sa svojim ljudima provalio iz grada i spalio bojne naprave.
68. and they fought against Bacchides, and he was crushed by them. And they afflicted him greatly, because his counsel and his meetings were in vain.
68. Udarivši na Bakida, razbiše ga i teško ga ojadiše, pomrsiše mu namjeru i vojni pohod.
69. And he was angry with the men of iniquity who had given him counsel to come into their region, and he killed many of them. But he decided to depart with the remainder into their country.
69. Razgnjevi se on protiv odmetnika koji su mu savjetovali da doðe u tu zemlju, pobi mnoge te sa svojim ljudima odluèi da se vrati kuæi.
70. And Jonathan knew of it, and he sent ambassadors to him to arrange a peace with him, and to restore the captives to him.
70. Na tu vijest posla Jonatan k njemu poslanike da s njim uglave mir i povratak zarobljenika.
71. And he accepted it willingly, and he acted according to his words, and he swore that he would do him no evil all the days of his life.
71. On na to pristade i ostade vjeran svojim obvezama. Zakle mu se da više nikad, dok god živi, neæe protiv njega ništa poduzimati.
72. And he restored to him the captives which he previously had been given from the land of Judah. And he turned back and went away into his own land, and he no longer drew near, in order to enter into their borders.
72. Pošto mu je predao roblje što ga je prije u judejskoj zemlji zarobio, Bakid se vratio u svoju zemlju i više nije dolazio na židovsko podruèje.
73. And so the sword ceased from Israel. And Jonathan lived in Michmash, and, in that place, Jonathan began to judge the people, and he destroyed the impious out of Israel.
73. Maè je otpoèinuo u Izraelu. Jonatan se nastani u Mikmasu, gdje je poèeo suditi narodu. Iz Izraela je istrijebio bezbožnike.
