¹ About this time Antiochus made his second invasion of Egypt.	¹ U to je vrijeme Antioh pripremao drugu vojnu na Egipat.
² And it happened that over all the city, for almost forty days, there appeared golden-clad horsemen charging through the air, in companies fully armed with lances and drawn swords--	² Gotovo četrdeset dana po svem gradu pojavljivali se konjanici koji su u zlatnim odorama projahivali zrakom; zatim naoružane čete raspoređene u kohorte;
³ troops of horsemen drawn up, attacks and counterattacks made on this side and on that, brandishing of shields, massing of spears, hurling of missiles, the flash of golden trappings, and armor of all sorts.	³ pa konjički odredi svrstani u borbene redove, koji su srljali i napadali jedni na druge; na sve strane zamahivanje štitovima, šuma sulica, mačevi izvučeni iz korica, blještav sjaj zlatnih oklopa i svakojake bojne opreme.
⁴ Therefore all men prayed that the apparition might prove to have been a good omen.	⁴ Svi su molili da ta pojava bude dobar znak.
⁵ When a false rumor arose that Antiochus was dead, Jason took no less than a thousand men and suddenly made an assault upon the city. When the troops upon the wall had been forced back and at last the city was being taken, Menelaus took refuge in the citadel.	⁵ Uto se pronese lažan glas da je Antioh preminuo. Jason tada uze ništa manje nego tisuću ljudi te iznenada napade grad. Pošto su bili istjerani oni koji su branili zidine i grad već bio zauzet, Menelaj uteče u tvrđavu.
⁶ But Jason kept relentlessly slaughtering his fellow citizens, not realizing that success at the cost of one's kindred is the greatest misfortune, but imagining that he was setting up trophies of victory over enemies and not over fellow countrymen.	⁶ Jason je stao nemilice klati svoje sugrađane, ne uviđajući da je uspjeh protiv sunarodnjaka najveći neuspjeh, misleći da stječe pobjedničku slavu nad neprijateljima, a ne nad braćom.
⁷ He did not gain control of the government, however; and in the end got only disgrace from his conspiracy, and fled again into the country of the Ammonites.	⁷ Nije se domogao vlasti, nego je sramotno završio svoju izdaju i morao opet tražiti utočište u Amanitidi.
⁸ Finally he met a miserable end. Accused before Aretas the ruler of the Arabs, fleeing from city to city, pursued by all men, hated as a rebel against the laws, and abhorred as the executioner of his country and his fellow citizens, he was cast ashore in Egypt;	⁸ Tako se završilo njegovo opako djelo. Optužili su ga kod arapskog vladara Arete te je morao bježati od grada do grada; svi su ga gonili, svi mrzili kao otpadnika od Zakona i proklinjali kao krvnika svoje domovine i svojih sugrađana, dok konačno ne zastade u Egiptu.
⁹ and he who had driven many from their own country into exile died in exile, having embarked to go to the Lacedaemonians in hope of finding protection because of their kinship.	⁹ Tako je on koji je mnoge izagnao iz domovine poginuo u tuđini, otišavši Lakedemoncima ne bi li u ime srodstva našao zaštitu.
¹⁰ He who had cast out many to lie unburied had no one to mourn for him; he had no funeral of any sort and no place in the tomb of his fathers.	¹⁰ On koji je toliko ljudi bez sahrane bacio na zemlju ostade neoplakan, bez ukopa i bez mjesta u grobu svojih otaca.
¹¹ When news of what had happened reached the king, he took it to mean that Judea was in revolt. So, raging inwardly, he left Egypt and took the city by storm.	¹¹ Kad je kralj doznao što se dogodilo, pomisli da se Judeja odmetnula. Zato se podiže iz Egipta, zvjerski razjaren u duši, i zauze grad oružanom rukom.
¹² And he commanded his soldiers to cut down relentlessly every one they met and to slay those who went into the houses.	¹² Vojnicima zapovjedi da nesmiljeno pobiju sve one koje sretnu i da pokolju one koji uteknu u kuće.
¹³ Then there was killing of young and old, destruction of boys, women, and children, and slaughter of virgins and infants.	¹³ Ubijali su mlado i staro, zatirali žene i djecu, klali djevojke i nejačad.
¹⁴ Within the total of three days eighty thousand were destroyed, forty thousand in hand-to-hand fighting; and as many were sold into slavery as were slain.	¹⁴ U cigla tri dana bilo je osamdeset tisuća žrtava, od čega je četrdeset tisuća palo od udaraca, a isto ih je toliko prodano u roblje.
¹⁵ Not content with this, Antiochus dared to enter the most holy temple in all the world, guided by Menelaus, who had become a traitor both to the laws and to his country.	¹⁵ Ni time se nije izdovoljio, nego se drznuo ući u Hram najsvetiji na svem svijetu, a vodio ga Menelaj, izdajica zakonâ i domovine.
¹⁶ He took the holy vessels with his polluted hands, and swept away with profane hands the votive offerings which other kings had made to enhance the glory and honor of the place.	¹⁶ Tu je svojim nečistim rukama uzimao sveto posuđe, poganim rukama grabio darove što su ih drugi kraljevi davali za napredak, slavu i dostojanstvo tog mjesta.
¹⁷ Antiochus was elated in spirit, and did not perceive that the Lord was angered for a little while because of the sins of those who dwelt in the city, and that therefore he was disregarding the holy place.	¹⁷ Antioh se uznio u srcu, ne misleći da se Gospod samo na kratko vrijeme ljuti na građane zbog njihovih grijeha i zato ne haje za Sveto mjesto.
¹⁸ But if it had not happened that they were involved in many sins, this man would have been scourged and turned back from his rash act as soon as he came forward, just as Heliodorus was, whom Seleucus the king sent to inspect the treasury.	¹⁸ I da nije bilo tolikog mnoštva grijeha, i njega bi, čim bi ušao, udarci biča odvratili od drskosti, kao što su odvratili i Heliodora, koga bijaše poslao kralj Seleuk da pregleda riznicu.
¹⁹ But the Lord did not choose the nation for the sake of the holy place, but the place for the sake of the nation.	¹⁹ Ali Gospodin nije izabrao narod radi Svetog mjesta, nego mjesto radi naroda.
²⁰ Therefore the place itself shared in the misfortunes that befell the nation and afterward participated in its benefits; and what was forsaken in the wrath of the Almighty was restored again in all its glory when the great Lord became reconciled.	²⁰ Zato je i samo mjesto, imajući udjela u narodnim nevoljama, kasnije sudjelovalo i u blagostanju; zapušteno zbog srdžbe Svemogućega, bit će opet u svoj svojoj slavi obnovljeno nakon izmirenja s velikim Gospodinom.
²¹ So Antiochus carried off eighteen hundred talents from the temple, and hurried away to Antioch, thinking in his arrogance that he could sail on the land and walk on the sea, because his mind was elated.	²¹ Antioh, dakle, iz Hrama odnije tisuću i osam stotina talenata pa se požuri u Antiohiju, misleći u svojoj oholosti da zemlju može učiniti plovnom a more prohodnim – toliko mu se uznijelo srce!
²² And he left governors to afflict the people: at Jerusalem, Philip, by birth a Phrygian and in character more barbarous than the man who appointed him;	²² Za nadstojnike, pak, koji će zlostavljati narod ostavi u Jeruzalemu Filipa, po narodnosti Frigijca, po ćudi surovijega od onoga koji ga je postavio;
²³ and at Gerizim, Andronicus; and besides these Menelaus, who lorded it over his fellow citizens worse than the others did. In his malice toward the Jewish citizens,	²³ a na gori Gerizimu Andronika; osim njih još i Menelaja, koji je opakije od drugih gospodovao svojim sugrađanima, a bio je osobito neprijateljski raspoložen prema Židovima.
²⁴ Antiochus sent Apollonius, the captain of the Mysians, with an army of twenty-two thousand, and commanded him to slay all the grown men and to sell the women and boys as slaves.	²⁴ Posla i namjesnika Apolonija na čelu vojske od dvadeset i dvije tisuće ljudi, zapovjedivši mu da sve odrasle pokolje, a žene i mladež proda.
²⁵ When this man arrived in Jerusalem, he pretended to be peaceably disposed and waited until the holy sabbath day; then, finding the Jews not at work, he ordered his men to parade under arms.	²⁵ Kad je taj došao u Jeruzalem, pretvarajući se kao miroljubiv čovjek, pričeka do svetoga subotnjeg dana; tada, iskoristivši židovski počinak, zapovjedi svojim podređenima da izađu pod oružjem.
²⁶ He put to the sword all those who came out to see them, then rushed into the city with his armed men and killed great numbers of people.	²⁶ Sve one koji su došli da vide smotru dade poubijati, a potom je, krstareći s naoružanim vojnicima po gradu, pogubio mnoštvo ljudi.
²⁷ But Judas Maccabeus, with about nine others, got away to the wilderness, and kept himself and his companions alive in the mountains as wild animals do; they continued to live on what grew wild, so that they might not share in the defilement.	²⁷ Tada se Juda Makabej povuče s desetak ljudi u pustinju te su u gorama provodili život kao divlje zvijeri, hraneći se samo zelenjem da se čime ne bi onečistili.
