¹ Gorgija povede sa sobom pet tisuća pješaka i tisuću poizbor konjanika; ta je vojska krenula noću	¹ Now Gorgias took five thousand infantry and a thousand picked cavalry, and this division moved out by night
² da izvrši prepad na židovski tabor i da ga iznenadi: vodiči joj bijahu stanovnici Tvrđe.	² to fall upon the camp of the Jews and attack them suddenly. Men from the citadel 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, udari	³ But Judas heard of it, and he and his mighty men moved out to attack the king's force in Emmaus
⁴ dok su joj pripadnici još izvan tabora.	⁴ while the division was still absent 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 When Gorgias entered the camp of Judas by night, he found no one there, so he looked for them in the hills, because he said, "These men are fleeing 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 At daybreak Judas appeared in the plain with three thousand men, but they did not have armor and swords such as they desired.
⁷ Vidjeli su poganski tabor, jak i utvrđen: opkoljavali ga konjanici, ljudi vični boju.	⁷ And they saw the camp of the Gentiles, strong and fortified, with cavalry round about it; and these men were trained in war.
⁸ Juda reče svojim ljudima: »Ne bojte se toga mnoštva i ne plašite se njihovih napadaja.	⁸ But Judas said to the men who were with him, "Do not fear their numbers or be afraid when they charge.
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 saved at the Red Sea, when Pharaoh with his forces pursued them.
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 And now let us cry to Heaven, to see whether he will favor us and remember his covenant with our fathers and crush this army before us today.
¹¹ Tada će svi narodi spoznati da postoji Netko tko izbavlja i spašava Izraela.«	¹¹ Then all the Gentiles will know that there is one who redeems and saves Israel."
¹² Stranci podigoše oči: opazivši kako im Židovi dolaze s protivne strane,	¹² When the foreigners looked up and saw them coming against them,
¹³ iziđoše iz tabora da prihvate bitku. Judini vojnici zatrubiše u trube i zametnuše boj.	¹³ they went forth from their camp to battle. Then the men with Judas blew their trumpets
¹⁴ Razbijeni, pogani nagnuše u bijeg prema ravnici.	¹⁴ and engaged in battle. The Gentiles were crushed and 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 and all those in the rear fell by the sword. They pursued them to Gazara, and to the plains of Idumea, and to Azotus and Jamnia; and three thousand of them fell.
¹⁶ Kad se Juda vratio s potjere kojoj bijaše na čelu,	¹⁶ Then Judas and his force turned back from pursuing them,
¹⁷ reče narodu: »Ne lakomite se na plijen jer nam prijeti još jedan rat.	¹⁷ and he said to the people, "Do not be greedy for plunder, for 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 Gorgias and his force are near us in the hills. But stand now against our enemies and fight them, and afterward seize the plunder boldly."
¹⁹ Juda je još bio u riječi kadli jedan odred proviri s gorskog visa.	¹⁹ Just as Judas was finishing this speech, a detachment appeared, coming out of the hills.
²⁰ Vidješe da su njihovi raspršeni i da je tabor izgorio: o tome je još svjedočio dim koji se vidio.	²⁰ They saw that their army * had been put to flight, and that the Jews * were burning the camp, for the smoke that was seen showed what had happened.
²¹ Od toga se prizora prestraviše. A kad su još na ravnici opazili Judinu vojsku spremnu za boj,	²¹ When they perceived this they were greatly frightened, and when they also saw the army of Judas drawn up in the plain for battle,
²² svi pobjegoše u filistejsku zemlju.	²² they all fled into the land of the Philistines.
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 plunder the camp, and they seized much gold and silver, and cloth dyed blue and sea purple, and great riches.
²⁴ Na povratku su Židovi hvalili i blagoslivljali Nebo govoreći: »Ono je dobro i njegova je ljubav vječna!«	²⁴ On their return they sang hymns and praises to Heaven, for he is good, for his mercy endures for ever.
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 Those of the foreigners who escaped went and reported to Lysias all that 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 When he heard it, he was perplexed and discouraged, for things had not happened to Israel as he had intended, nor had they turned out as the king had commanded him.
²⁸ Zato je iduće godine Lizija sabrao šezdeset tisuća poizbor pješaka i pet tisuća konjanika da svlada Židove.	²⁸ But the next year he mustered sixty thousand picked infantrymen and five thousand cavalry to subdue them.
²⁹ Došli su u Idumeju i utaborili se u Betsuru. Juda iziđe protiv njih sa deset tisuća ljudi.	²⁹ They came into Idumea and encamped at Beth-zur, 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 When he saw that the army was strong, he prayed, saying, "Blessed art thou, O Savior of Israel, who didst crush the attack of the mighty warrior by the hand of thy servant David, and didst give the camp of the Philistines into the hands of Jonathan, the son of Saul, and of the man who carried his armor.
³¹ Predaj i ovu vojsku u šake Izraela, svog naroda; neka se osramote i pješaci i konjanici.	³¹ So do thou hem in this army by the hand of thy people Israel, and let them be ashamed of their troops and their cavalry.
³² Posij strah u njihovim redovima, uništi uzdanje koje imaju u svoju silu i neka se pokolebaju svojim porazom.	³² Fill them with cowardice; melt the boldness of their strength; let them tremble in their destruction.
³³ Obori ih mačem onih koji te ljube, da te hvale pjesmama svi oni koji ti poznaju ime!«	³³ Strike them down with the sword of those who love thee, and let all who know thy name praise thee with hymns."
³⁴ I počeše bitku i u srazu prsa o prsa pade iz Lizijine vojske oko pet tisuća ljudi.	³⁴ Then both sides attacked, and there fell of the army of Lysias five thousand men; they fell in action. *
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 And when Lysias saw the rout of his troops and observed the boldness which inspired those of Judas, and how ready they were either to live or to die nobly, he departed to Antioch and enlisted mercenaries, to invade Judea again with an even larger army.
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 brothers, "Behold, our enemies are crushed; let us go up to cleanse the sanctuary and dedicate it."
³⁷ Sabra se sva vojska i pope se na goru Sion.	³⁷ So all the army assembled and they went up to Mount Zion.
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 they saw the sanctuary desolate, the altar profaned, and the gates burned. In the courts they saw bushes sprung up as in a thicket, or as on one of the mountains. They saw also the chambers of the priests in ruins.
³⁹ Razdrli su na sebi odjeću, zakukali i glavu posuli pepelom.	³⁹ Then they rent their clothes, and mourned with great lamentation, and sprinkled themselves with ashes.
⁴⁰ Potom padoše ničice pa na znak truba zavapiše k Nebu.	⁴⁰ They fell face down on the ground, and sounded the signal on the trumpets, and cried out to Heaven.
⁴¹ Juda naloži ljudima da tuku one koji su bili u Tvrđi sve dok on Svetište ne očisti.	⁴¹ Then Judas detailed men to fight against those in the citadel until he had cleansed the sanctuary.
⁴² Zatim je izabrao svećenike neokaljane, vjerne Zakonu.	⁴² He chose blameless priests devoted to the law,
⁴³ Očistiše oni Svetište, a oskvrnjeno kamenje ukloniše na nečisto mjesto.	⁴³ and they cleansed the sanctuary and removed the defiled stones to an unclean place.
⁴⁴ Potom se vijećalo što da se učini od žrtvenika za paljenice, koji je bio oskvrnjen.	⁴⁴ They deliberated what to do about the altar of burnt offering, which had been 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 And they thought it best to tear it down, lest it bring reproach upon them, for the Gentiles had defiled it. So they tore down the altar,
⁴⁶ Kamenje staviše na prikladno mjesto na hramskoj gori, dok ne dođe prorok koji će o njem odlučiti.	⁴⁶ and stored the stones in a convenient place on the temple hill until there should come a prophet to tell what to do with them.
⁴⁷ Nato, prema Zakonu, uzeše neklesano kamenje i podigoše nov žrtvenik, po uzoru na prijašnji.	⁴⁷ Then they took unhewn * stones, as the law directs, and built a new altar like the former one.
⁴⁸ Popravili su Svetište i unutrašnjost Doma i posvetili predvorje.	⁴⁸ They also rebuilt the sanctuary and the interior of the temple, and consecrated the courts.
⁴⁹ Pošto su načinili novo sveto posuđe, unijeli su u Hram svijećnjak, kadioni žrtvenik i stol.	⁴⁹ They made new holy vessels, and brought the lampstand, the altar of incense, and the table into the temple.
⁵⁰ Kadili su tamjan na žrtveniku i zapalili svjetiljke na svijećnjaku koje su rasvijetlile unutrašnjost Hrama.	⁵⁰ Then they burned incense on the altar and lighted the lamps on the lampstand, and these gave light in the temple.
⁵¹ Postavili su hljebove na stol i objesili zastore. Tako dovršiše djelo koje su poduzeli.	⁵¹ They placed the bread on the table and hung up the curtains. Thus they finished all the work they had undertaken.
⁵² Dvadeset i petog dana devetog mjeseca, zvanog kislev, godine sto četrdeset i osme ustadoše u rano jutro	⁵² Early in the morning on the twenty-fifth day of the ninth month, which is the month of Chislev, in the one hundred and forty-eighth year, *
⁵³ i prinesoše po Zakonu žrtvu na novom žrtveniku za paljenice koji bijahu podigli.	⁵³ they rose and offered sacrifice, as the law directs, on the new altar of burnt offering which they had built.
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 At the very season and on the very day that the Gentiles had profaned it, it was dedicated with songs and harps and lutes and cymbals.
⁵⁵ Sav je narod pao ničice i poklonio se, a zatim upravio hvalu Nebu, onomu koji ih je tako sretno vodio.	⁵⁵ All the people fell on their faces and worshiped and blessed Heaven, who had prospered them.
⁵⁶ Osam su dana slavili posvetu žrtvenika i radosno prinosili paljenice i žrtve pričesnice i zahvalnice.	⁵⁶ So they celebrated the dedication of the altar for eight days, and offered burnt offerings with gladness; they offered a sacrifice of deliverance and praise.
⁵⁷ Uresili su pročelje Hrama zlatnim vijencima i štitovima, obnovili ulaz i ćelije i postavili im vrata.	⁵⁷ They decorated the front of the temple with golden crowns and small shields; they restored the gates and the chambers for the priests, and furnished them with doors.
⁵⁸ Nastala je velika radost u narodu i izbrisala se sramota koju su nanijeli pogani.	⁵⁸ There was very great gladness among the people, and the reproach of the Gentiles was removed.
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 Then Judas and his brothers and all the assembly of Israel determined that every year at that season the days of dedication of the altar should be observed with gladness and joy for eight days, beginning with the twenty-fifth day of the month of Chislev.
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 they fortified Mount Zion with high walls and strong towers round about, to keep the Gentiles from coming and trampling them 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 he stationed a garrison there to hold it. He also * fortified Beth-zur, so that the people might have a stronghold that faced Idumea.
