Biblija Hrvatski	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Dori Antioh, sin kralja Demetrija, posla s morskih otoka svećeniku i židovskom vođi Šimunu i svemu narodu	1 And king Antiochus the son of Demetrius sent letters from the isles of the sea to Simon the priest, and prince of the nation of the Jews, and to all the people:
2 pismo ovog sadržaja: »Kralj Antioh pozdravlja velikog svećenika i vođu Šimuna i židovski narod.	2 And the contents were these: King Antiochus to Simon the high priest, and to the nation of the Jews, greeting.
3 Budući da su se pokvarenjaci dočepali kraljevstva naših otaca, odlučio sam da ga opet osvojim i uspostavim kako je bilo i prije, i zato sam podigao silne čete i opremio ratno brodovlje	3 Forasmuch as certain pestilent men have usurped the kingdom of our fathers, and my purpose is to challenge the kingdom, and to restore it to its former estate: and I have chosen a great army, and have built ships of war.
4 da se iskrcam u zemlji i osvetim onima koji su je upropastili i opustošili mnoge gradove moga kraljevstva.	4 And I design to go through the country that I may take revenge of them that have destroyed our country, and that have made many cities desolate in my realm.
5 Potvrđujem ti sva oslobođenja od poreza kojih su te oslobodili kraljevi prije mene i svih ostalih prinosa koje su ti otpustili.	5 Now therefore I confirm unto thee all the oblations which all the kings before me remitted to thee, and what other gifts soever they remitted to thee:
6 Dopuštam ti da u svojoj kovnici kuješ novce koji će zakonito optjecati tvojom zemljom.	6 And I give thee leave to coin thy own money in thy country:
7 Neka Jeruzalem i Svetište budu slobodni. Neka ti ostane sve oružje koje si proizveo i sve tvrđave koje si podigao i koje zapremaš.	7 And let Jerusalem be holy and free, and all the armour that hath been made, and the fortresses which thou hast built, and which thou keepest in thy hands, let them remain to thee.
8 Neka ti se oprosti sve što duguješ kraljevskoj riznici i ono što ćeš ubuduće dugovati kralju odsele pa dovijeka.	8 And all that is due to the king, and what should be the king's hereafter, from this present and for ever, is forgiven thee.
9 Kad ponovno osvojimo svoje kraljevstvo, obasut ćemo tebe, tvoj narod i Hram takvim častima da će vam slava zablistati po svoj zemlji.«	9 And when we shall have recovered our kingdom, we will glorify thee, and thy nation, and the temple with great glory, so that your glory shall be made manifest in all the earth.
10 Godine sto sedamdeset i četvrte krenu kralj Antioh u zemlju svojih otaca. Oko njega su se okupile sve čete, tako da ih je malo ostalo uz Trifona.	10 In the year one hundred and seventy-four Antiochus entered into the land of this fathers, and all the forces assembled to him, so that few were left with Tryphon.
11 Antioh je udario za njim u potjeru. Trifon je pobjegao u Doru na moru,	11 And king Antiochus pursued after him, and he fled along by the sea coast and came to Dora.
12 jer je znao da se na njega svalilo zlo i da su ga čete ostavile.	12 For he perceived that evils were gathered together upon him, and his troops had forsaken him.
13 Antioh se utaborio kod Dore sa sto i dvadeset tisuća pješaka i osam tisuća konjanika.	13 And Antiochus camped above Dora with a hundred and twenty thousand men of war, and eight thousand horsemen:
14 Opkolio je grad, pritisnuo ga s kopna i mora, jer se brodovlje približilo s morske strane, tako da nitko nije mogao niti ulaziti niti izlaziti.	14 And he invested the city, and the ships drew near by sea: and they annoyed the city by land, and by sea, and suffered none to come in, or to go out.
15 Uto je Numenije sa svojom pratnjom došao iz Rima s pismima za kraljeve i zemlje. Evo njihova sadržaja:	15 And Numenius, and they that had been with him, came from the city of Rome, having letters written to the kings, and countries, the contents whereof were these:
16 »Rimski konzul Lucije pozdravlja kralja Ptolemeja.	16 Lucius the consul of the Romans, to king Ptolemee, greeting.
17 Veliki svećenik Šimun i židovski narod uputili su nam židovske poslanike kao prijatelje i saveznike da obnove nekadašnje prijateljstvo i savezništvo.	17 The ambassadors of the Jews our friends came to us, to renew the former friendship and alliance, being sent from Simon the high priest, and the people of the Jews.
18 Donijeli su zlatan štit od tisuću mina.	18 And they brought also a shield of gold of a thousand pounds.
19 Odlučili smo, dakle, pisati kraljevima i zemljama da im ne čine nikakva zla niti da udaraju na njih, na njihove gradove, na njihovu zemlju i da se ne povezuju s onima koji bi ih napadali.	19 It hath seemed good therefore to us to write to the kings, and countries, that they should do them no harm, nor fight against them, their cities, or countries: and that they should give no aid to them that fight against them.
20 Odlučili smo da od njih primimo štit.	20 And it hath seemed good to us to received the shield of them.
21 Ako su, dakle, kakvi opaki ljudi utekli iz njihove zemlje k vama, predajte ih velikom svećeniku Šimunu da ih kazni po njihovim zakonima!«	21 If therefore any pestilent men are fled out of their country to you, deliver them to Simon the high priest, that he may punish them according to their law.
22 Tako je pisao kralju Demetriju, Atalu, Ariaratu i Arsaku	22 These same things were written to king Demetrius, and to Attalus, and to Ariarathes, and to Arsaces,
23 i u sve zemlje: Sampsami, Spartancima, u Delos, u Mindos, u Sikion, u Kariju, u Samos, u Pamfiliju, u Likiju, u Halikarnas, u Rodos, u Faselidu, u Kos, u Sidu, u Arad, Gortinu, Knidos, Cipar i Kirenu.	23 And to all the countries; and to Lampsacus, and to the Spartans, and to Delus, and Myndus, and Sicyon, and Caria, and Samus, and Pamphylia, and Lycia, and Alicarnassus, and Cos, and Side, and Aradus, and Rhodes, and Phaselis, and Gortyna, and Gnidus, and Cyprus, and Cyrene.
24 Prijepis tih pisama poslali su velikom svećeniku Šimunu.	24 And they wrote a copy thereof to Simon the high priest, and to the people of the Jews.
25 Antioh je taborio pred Dorom, u njezinu predgrađu, pa je neprestano upućivao nove odrede protiv grada i izrađivao bojne naprave. Stisnuo je Trifona tako da se nije moglo niti izlaziti niti ulaziti.	25 But king Antiochus moved his camp to Dora the second time, assaulting it continually, and making engines: and shut up Tryphon, that he could not go out.
26 Šimun mu je poslao dvije tisuće odabranih ljudi da mu pomažu u boju, a k tomu srebra i zlata i mnogo opreme.	26 And Simon sent to him two thousand chosen men to aid him, silver also, and gold, and abundance of furniture.
27 On toga ne htjede primiti. Štoviše, poništio je sve što je prije sa Šimunom ugovorio. Posve se izmijenio prema njemu.	27 And he would not receive them, but broke all the covenant that he had made with him before, and alienated himself from him.
28 Poslao je k njemu Atenobija, jednog od svojih prijatelja, da se s njim porazgovori i reče mu: »Vi držite u svojoj vlasti Jopu, Gezer i jeruzalemsku Tvrđu, gradove moga kraljevstva.	28 And he sent to him Athenobius one of his friends, to treat with him, saying: You hold Joppe, and Gazara, and the castle that is in Jerusalem, which are cities of my kingdom:
29 Njihova ste područja opustošili, počinili ste mnogo zla u zemlji i zavladali mnogim krajevima u mom kraljevstvu.	29 Their borders you have wasted, and you have made great havock in the land, and have got the dominion of many places in my kingdom.
30 Zato sad vratite gradove koje ste osvojili, zajedno s porezima onih krajeva kojima ste zavladali izvan židovskih granica.	30 Now therefore deliver up the cities that you have taken, and the tributes of the places whereof you have gotten the dominion without the borders of Judea.
31 Ako pak nećete, dajte mjesto toga pet stotina srebrnih talenata, a za štete što ste ih počinili i za poreze gradova drugih pet stotina talenata; ako ni toga nećete, poći ćemo protiv vas u rat.«	31 But if not, give me for them five hundred talents of silver, and for the havock that you have made, and the tributes of the cities other five hundred talents: or else we will come and fight against you.
32 Kraljev je prijatelj Atenobije došao u Jeruzalem i vidio Šimunov sjaj i ormar sa zlatnim i srebrnim posuđem i mnogu poslugu. On se zapanjio. Saopćio mu je kraljevu poruku.	32 So Athenobius the king's friend came to Jerusalem, and saw the glory of Simon and his magnificence in gold, and silver, and his great equipage, and he was astonished, and told him the king's words.
33 Šimun mu odgovori ovako: »Mi nikako nismo oteli tuđu zemlju niti smo zavladali tuđim dobrima, nego je to baština naših otaca: naši su je neprijatelji nepravedno stanovito vrijeme posjedovali.	33 And Simon answered him, and said to him: We have neither taken other men's land, neither do we hold that which is other men's: but the inheritance of our fathers, which was for some time unjustly possessed by our enemies.
34 Mi smo pak, koristeći se povoljnim prilikama, ponovno osvojili baštinu svojih predaka.	34 But we having opportunity claim the inheritance of our fathers.
35 Što se tiče Jope i Gezera, koje ti tražiš, ti su gradovi mnogo mučili narod i pustošili nam zemlju, za njih ćemo dati stotinu talenata.«	35 And as to thy complaints concerning Joppe and Gazara, they did great harm to the people, and to our country: yet for these we will give a hundred talents. And Athenobius answered him not a word:
36 Poslanik mu na to nije odgovorio ni riječi. Vratio se gnjevan kralju i upoznao ga sa Šimunovim odgovorom i veličanstvom, ukratko, sa svim što je vidio, a kralj nato usplamtje gnjevom.	36 But returning in a rage to the king, made report to him of these words, and of the glory of Simon, and of all that he had seen, and the king was exceeding angry.
37 Trifon se ukrcao u lađu i pobjegao u Ortosiju.	37 And Tryphon fled away by ship to Orthosias.
38 Kralj je Kendebeja postavio za upravitelja primorja i predao mu pješačke i konjaničke čete.	38 And the king appointed Cendebeus captain of the sea coast, and gave him an army of footmen and horsemen.
39 Zapovjedio mu je da se utabori pred Judejom i naložio mu da izgradi Kedron, učvrsti mu vrata i zavojšti na narod. Kralj je pošao u potjeru za Trifonom.	39 And he commanded him to march with his army towards Judea: and he commanded him to build up Gedor, and to fortify the gates of the city, and to war against the people. But the king himself pursued after Tryphon.
40 Kendebej je došao u Jamniju i počeo uznemirivati narod, provaljivati u Judeju, odvoditi narod u roblje i ubijati ga.	40 And Cendebeus came to Jamnia, and began to provoke the people, and to ravage Judea, and to take the people prisoners, and to kill, and to build Gedor.
41 Ponovno je izgradio Kedron te u nj smjestio konjanike i pješake da provaljuju i obilaze judejskim putovima, kako mu bješe zapovjedio kralj.	41 And he placed there horsemen, and an army: that they might issue forth, and make incursions upon the ways of Judea, as the king had commanded him.
