1 Gorgija povede sa sobom pet tisuća pješaka i tisuću poizbor konjanika; ta je vojska krenula noću1 Then took Gorgias five thousand footmen, and a thousand of the best horsemen, and removed out of the camp by night;
2 da izvrši prepad na židovski tabor i da ga iznenadi: vodiči joj bijahu stanovnici Tvrđe.2 To the end he might rush in upon the camp of the Jews, and smite them suddenly. And the men of the fortress were his guides.
3 Kad je to dočuo Juda, podigao se i on sa svojim junacima da na kraljevu vojsku, koja je bila u Emausu, udari3 Now when Judas heard thereof he himself removed, and the valiant men with him, that he might smite the king's army which was at Emmaus,
4 dok su joj pripadnici još izvan tabora.4 While as yet the forces were dispersed from the camp.
5 Gorgija je pak došao noću u Judin tabor i nije našao nikoga, pa je zato stao Židove tražiti po gorama, jer, kako je rekao, »oni bježe pred nama«.5 In the mean season came Gorgias by night into the camp of Judas: and when he found no man there, he sought them in the mountains: for said he, These fellows flee from us
6 U cik zore pojavi se Juda u ravnici sa samo tri tisuće ljudi. Ti nisu imali prikladna obrambenog oružja ni mačeva.6 But as soon as it was day, Judas shewed himself in the plain with three thousand men, who nevertheless had neither armour nor swords to their minds.
7 Vidjeli su poganski tabor, jak i utvrđen: opkoljavali ga konjanici, ljudi vični boju.7 And they saw the camp of the heathen, that it was strong and well harnessed, and compassed round about with horsemen; and these were expert of war.
8 Juda reče svojim ljudima: »Ne bojte se toga mnoštva i ne plašite se njihovih napadaja.8 Then said Judas to the men that were with him, Fear ye not their multitude, neither be ye afraid of their assault.
9 Sjetite se da su se naši oci spasili na Crvenom moru kad ih je progonio faraon s vojskom.9 Remember how our fathers were delivered in the Red sea, when Pharaoh pursued them with an army.
10 Zavapimo sada k Nebu: ono će nam se možda smilovati, sjetit će se svog saveza s našim ocima, pa će danas pred nama tu vojsku satrti.10 Now therefore let us cry unto heaven, if peradventure the Lord will have mercy upon us, and remember the covenant of our fathers, and destroy this host before our face this day:
11 Tada će svi narodi spoznati da postoji Netko tko izbavlja i spašava Izraela.«11 That so all the heathen may know that there is one who delivereth and saveth Israel.
12 Stranci podigoše oči: opazivši kako im Židovi dolaze s protivne strane,12 Then the strangers lifted up their eyes, and saw them coming over against them.
13 iziđoše iz tabora da prihvate bitku. Judini vojnici zatrubiše u trube i zametnuše boj.13 Wherefore they went out of the camp to battle; but they that were with Judas sounded their trumpets.
14 Razbijeni, pogani nagnuše u bijeg prema ravnici.14 So they joined battle, and the heathen being discomfited fled into the plain.
15 Ali svi na zalaznici padoše od mača. Ostale pognaše sve do Gezera i do nizina Idumeje, do Azota i do Jamnije: palo je oko tri tisuće ljudi.15 Howbeit all the hindmost of them were slain with the sword: for they pursued them unto Gazera, and unto the plains of Idumea, and Azotus, and Jamnia, so that there were slain of them upon a three thousand men.
16 Kad se Juda vratio s potjere kojoj bijaše na čelu,16 This done, Judas returned again with his host from pursuing them,
17 reče narodu: »Ne lakomite se na plijen jer nam prijeti još jedan rat.17 And said to the people, Be not greedy of the spoil inasmuch as there is a battle before us,
18 Gorgija je sa svojom vojskom tu u gori. Sad se oduprite našim neprijateljima, borite se protiv njih; potom ćete bez brige pokupiti plijen.«18 And Gorgias and his host are here by us in the mountain: but stand ye now against our enemies, and overcome them, and after this ye may boldly take the spoils.
19 Juda je još bio u riječi kadli jedan odred proviri s gorskog visa.19 As Judas was yet speaking these words, there appeared a part of them looking out of the mountain:
20 Vidješe da su njihovi raspršeni i da je tabor izgorio: o tome je još svjedočio dim koji se vidio.20 Who when they perceived that the Jews had put their host to flight and were burning the tents; for the smoke that was seen declared what was done:
21 Od toga se prizora prestraviše. A kad su još na ravnici opazili Judinu vojsku spremnu za boj,21 When therefore they perceived these things, they were sore afraid, and seeing also the host of Judas in the plain ready to fight,
22 svi pobjegoše u filistejsku zemlju.22 They fled every one into the land of strangers.
23 Juda se vratio da im oplijeni tabor. Iznijelo se mnogo zlata, srebra, modra i crvena skrletna platna i golemo drugo blago.23 Then Judas returned to spoil the tents, where they got much gold, and silver, and blue silk, and purple of the sea, and great riches.
24 Na povratku su Židovi hvalili i blagoslivljali Nebo govoreći: »Ono je dobro i njegova je ljubav vječna!«24 After this they went home, and sung a song of thanksgiving, and praised the Lord in heaven: because it is good, because his mercy endureth forever.
25 Bijaše to dan velike izraelske pobjede.25 Thus Israel had a great deliverance that day.
26 Oni pak od neprijatelja koji bijahu utekli dođoše k Liziji i javiše mu sve što se dogodilo.26 Now all the strangers that had escaped came and told Lysias what had happened:
27 Ta ga vijest smete, duh mu klonu, jer se Izraelu nije dogodilo onako kako je on htio niti je bilo onako kako je zapovjedio kralj.27 Who, when he heard thereof, was confounded and discouraged, because neither such things as he would were done unto Israel, nor such things as the king commanded him were come to pass.
28 Zato je iduće godine Lizija sabrao šezdeset tisuća poizbor pješaka i pet tisuća konjanika da svlada Židove.28 The next year therefore following Lysias gathered together threescore thousand choice men of foot, and five thousand horsemen, that he might subdue them.
29 Došli su u Idumeju i utaborili se u Betsuru. Juda iziđe protiv njih sa deset tisuća ljudi.29 So they came into Idumea, and pitched their tents at Bethsura, and Judas met them with ten thousand men.
30 Kad vidje tu silnu vojsku, pomoli se ovako: »Blagoslovljen da si, spasitelju Izraela, ti koji si satro juriš diva rukom svoga sluge Davida i koji si filistejsku vojsku predao u ruke Šaulova sina Jonate i njegova štitonoše.30 And when he saw that mighty army, he prayed and said, Blessed art thou, O Saviour of Israel, who didst quell the violence of the mighty man by the hand of thy servant David, and gavest the host of strangers into the hands of Jonathan the son of Saul, and his armourbearer;
31 Predaj i ovu vojsku u šake Izraela, svog naroda; neka se osramote i pješaci i konjanici.31 Shut up this army in the hand of thy people Israel, and let them be confounded in their power and horsemen:
32 Posij strah u njihovim redovima, uništi uzdanje koje imaju u svoju silu i neka se pokolebaju svojim porazom.32 Make them to be of no courage, and cause the boldness of their strength to fall away, and let them quake at their destruction:
33 Obori ih mačem onih koji te ljube, da te hvale pjesmama svi oni koji ti poznaju ime!«33 Cast them down with the sword of them that love thee, and let all those that know thy name praise thee with thanksgiving.
34 I počeše bitku i u srazu prsa o prsa pade iz Lizijine vojske oko pet tisuća ljudi.34 So they joined battle; and there were slain of the host of Lysias about five thousand men, even before them were they slain.
35 Videći kako mu se osula vojska i kako su neustrašivi Judini junaci, koji su bili spremni junački živjeti ili umrijeti, Lizija se vrati u Antiohiju. Ondje unovači najamnike da iznova, s pojačanom vojskom, provali u Judeju.35 Now when Lysias saw his army put to flight, and the manliness of Judas' soldiers, and how they were ready either to live or die valiantly, he went into Antiochia, and gathered together a company of strangers, and having made his army greater than it was, he purposed to come again into Judea.
36 Hrama Juda pak i njegova braća rekoše: »Eto, naši su neprijatelji satrti, hajde da očistimo Svetište i posvetimo ga.«36 Then said Judas and his brethren, Behold, our enemies are discomfited: let us go up to cleanse and dedicate the sanctuary.
37 Sabra se sva vojska i pope se na goru Sion.37 Upon this all the host assembled themselves together, and went up into mount Sion.
38 Vidjeli su ondje opustjelo sveto mjesto, oskvrnjen oltar, spaljena vrata, u predvorjima naraslo šikarje kao u šumi ili u gorama, a ćelije porušene.38 And when they saw the sanctuary desolate, and the altar profaned, and the gates burned up, and shrubs growing in the courts as in a forest, or in one of the mountains, yea, and the priests' chambers pulled down;
39 Razdrli su na sebi odjeću, zakukali i glavu posuli pepelom.39 They rent their clothes, and made great lamentation, and cast ashes upon their heads,
40 Potom padoše ničice pa na znak truba zavapiše k Nebu.40 And fell down flat to the ground upon their faces, and blew an alarm with the trumpets, and cried toward heaven.
41 Juda naloži ljudima da tuku one koji su bili u Tvrđi sve dok on Svetište ne očisti.41 Then Judas appointed certain men to fight against those that were in the fortress, until he had cleansed the sanctuary.
42 Zatim je izabrao svećenike neokaljane, vjerne Zakonu.42 So he chose priests of blameless conversation, such as had pleasure in the law:
43 Očistiše oni Svetište, a oskvrnjeno kamenje ukloniše na nečisto mjesto.43 Who cleansed the sanctuary, and bare out the defiled stones into an unclean place.
44 Potom se vijećalo što da se učini od žrtvenika za paljenice, koji je bio oskvrnjen.44 And when as they consulted what to do with the altar of burnt offerings, which was profaned;
45 Dođoše na dobru misao da ga uklone, bojeći se da im ne bude na sramotu, jer su ga pogani oskvrnuli. I oboriše žrtvenik.45 They thought it best to pull it down, lest it should be a reproach to them, because the heathen had defiled it: wherefore they pulled it down,
46 Kamenje staviše na prikladno mjesto na hramskoj gori, dok ne dođe prorok koji će o njem odlučiti.46 And laid up the stones in the mountain of the temple in a convenient place, until there should come a prophet to shew what should be done with them.
47 Nato, prema Zakonu, uzeše neklesano kamenje i podigoše nov žrtvenik, po uzoru na prijašnji.47 Then they took whole stones according to the law, and built a new altar according to the former;
48 Popravili su Svetište i unutrašnjost Doma i posvetili predvorje.48 And made up the sanctuary, and the things that were within the temple, and hallowed the courts.
49 Pošto su načinili novo sveto posuđe, unijeli su u Hram svijećnjak, kadioni žrtvenik i stol.49 They made also new holy vessels, and into the temple they brought the candlestick, and the altar of burnt offerings, and of incense, and the table.
50 Kadili su tamjan na žrtveniku i zapalili svjetiljke na svijećnjaku koje su rasvijetlile unutrašnjost Hrama.50 And upon the altar they burned incense, and the lamps that were upon the candlestick they lighted, that they might give light in the temple.
51 Postavili su hljebove na stol i objesili zastore. Tako dovršiše djelo koje su poduzeli.51 Furthermore they set the loaves upon the table, and spread out the veils, and finished all the works which they had begun to make.
52 Dvadeset i petog dana devetog mjeseca, zvanog kislev, godine sto četrdeset i osme ustadoše u rano jutro52 Now on the five and twentieth day of the ninth month, which is called the month Casleu, in the hundred forty and eighth year, they rose up betimes in the morning,
53 i prinesoše po Zakonu žrtvu na novom žrtveniku za paljenice koji bijahu podigli.53 And offered sacrifice according to the law upon the new altar of burnt offerings, which they had made.
54 Obnovili su posvetu žrtvenika uz pjesme i zvuke citara, harfa i cimbala u ono isto doba i u isti dan u koji su ga pogani oskvrnuli.54 Look, at what time and what day the heathen had profaned it, even in that was it dedicated with songs, and citherns, and harps, and cymbals.
55 Sav je narod pao ničice i poklonio se, a zatim upravio hvalu Nebu, onomu koji ih je tako sretno vodio.55 Then all the people fell upon their faces, worshipping and praising the God of heaven, who had given them good success.
56 Osam su dana slavili posvetu žrtvenika i radosno prinosili paljenice i žrtve pričesnice i zahvalnice.56 And so they kept the dedication of the altar eight days and offered burnt offerings with gladness, and sacrificed the sacrifice of deliverance and praise.
57 Uresili su pročelje Hrama zlatnim vijencima i štitovima, obnovili ulaz i ćelije i postavili im vrata.57 They decked also the forefront of the temple with crowns of gold, and with shields; and the gates and the chambers they renewed, and hanged doors upon them.
58 Nastala je velika radost u narodu i izbrisala se sramota koju su nanijeli pogani.58 Thus was there very great gladness among the people, for that the reproach of the heathen was put away.
59 Juda je sa svojom braćom i sa svom izraelskom zajednicom odredio da se, počevši od dvadeset i petog dana mjeseca kisleva, svake godine u svoje vrijeme osam dana radosno i veselo slavi dan posvete žrtvenika.59 Moreover Judas and his brethren with the whole congregation of Israel ordained, that the days of the dedication of the altar should be kept in their season from year to year by the space of eight days, from the five and twentieth day of the month Casleu, with mirth and gladness.
60 U to su vrijeme oko gore Siona sagradili visoke zidove s jakim kulama, bojeći se da pogani ne dođu ta mjesta oskvrnuti kao i prije.60 At that time also they builded up the mount Sion with high walls and strong towers round about, lest the Gentiles should come and tread it down as they had done before.
61 Juda je ondje smjestio posadu da čuva goru Sion. Utvrdio je Betsur da narod ima tvrđu protiv Idumeje.61 And they set there a garrison to keep it, and fortified Bethsura to preserve it; that the people might have a defence against Idumea.
