2 Maccabees 10

DOUAI-RHEIMS	Biblija Hrvatski
1 At that time Antiochus returned with dishonour out of Persia.	1 Dotle je Makabej sa svojim drugovima, pod vodstvom Gospodinovim, opet zauzeo Hram i grad.
2 For he had entered into the city called Persepolis, and attempted to rob the temple, and to oppress the city: but the multitude running together to arms, put them to flight: and so it fell out that Antiochus being put to flight returned with disgrace.	2 Srušili su žrtvenike što su ih po trgu sagradili tuđinci i uništili su posvećene gajeve.
3 Now when he was come about Ecbatana, he received the news of what had happened to Nicanor and Timotheus.	3 Potom su očistili Hram i podigli drugi žrtvenik; onda su iskresali vatru iz kamena i tom vatrom, nakon prijekida od dvije godine, prinijeli žrtvu; ujedno su obnovili prinos kâda, zapalili svjetiljke i izložili prinesene hljebove.
4 And swelling with anger he thought to revenge upon the Jews the injury done by them that had put him to flight. And therefore he commanded his chariot to be driven, without stopping in his journey, the judgment of heaven urging him forward, because he had spoken so proudly, that he would come to Jerusalem, and make it a common burying place of the Jews.	4 Kad su sve to izvršili, pali su ničice i stali moliti Gospodina da više nikada ne dopusti da padnu u takve nevolje, nego, ako kad i sagriješe, neka ih primjerno kazni, ali neka ih ne predaje bogohulnim i divljim narodima.
5 But the Lord the God of Israel, that seeth all things, struck him with an incurable and an invisible plague. For as soon as he had ended these words, a dreadful pain in his bowels came upon him, and bitter torments of the inner parts.	5 Čišćenje Hrama palo je upravo na isti dan i mjesec u koji su ga pogani i oskvrnuli, na dvadeset i peti dan kisleva.
6 And indeed very justly, seeing he had tormented the bowels of others with many and new torments, albeit he by no means ceased from his malice.	6 Svetkovali su to razdragano osam dana, onako kao i Blagdan sjenicâ, sjećajući se kako su nedavno, na Blagdan sjenicâ, boravili u planinama i špiljama kao divlje zvijeri.
7 Moreover being filled with pride, breathing out fire in his rage against the Jews, and commanding the matter to be hastened, it happened as he was going with violence that he fell from the chariot, so that his limbs were much pained by a grievous bruising of the body.	7 Zato su, noseći bršljanom ovijene štapove, zelene grančice i palme, zahvaljivali hvalospjevima Onomu koji je sretno proveo očišćenje svoga Svetog mjesta.
8 Thus he that seemed to himself to command even the waves of the sea, being proud above the condition of man, and to weigh the heights of the mountains in a balance, now being cast down to the ground, was carried in a litter, bearing witness to the manifest power of God in himself:	8 Ujedno su javno zaključili i izglasali da sav židovski narod treba da te dane svake godine slavi.
9 So that worms swarmed out of the body of this man, and whilst he lived in sorrow and pain, his flesh fell off, and the filthiness of his smell was noisome to the army.	9 Takve su, dakle, bile prilike u vrijeme smrti Antioha, nazvanog Epifana.
10 And the man that thought a little to before he could reach the stars of heaven, no man could endure to carry, for the intolerable stench.	10 A sad ćemo izvijestiti o događajima s Antiohom Eupatorom, sinom onoga bezbožnika, sažimajući ukratko ratne nevolje.
11 And by this means, being brought from his great pride, he began to come to the knowledge of himself, being admonished by the scourge of God, his pains increasing every moment	11 Kad je taj preuzeo kraljevstvo, postavio je na čelo državnih poslova nekog Liziju, glavnog upravitelja Celesirije i Fenicije.
12 And when he himself could not now abide his own stench, he spoke thus: It is just to be subject to God, and that a mortal man should not equal himself to God.	12 Ptolemej, nazvan Makron, prvi je sa Židovima postupao pravedno, pa je zbog nepravde koja im je bila nanesena nastojao njima upravljati miroljubivo.
13 Then this wicked man prayed to the Lord, of whom he was not like to obtain mercy.	13 Zato su ga neki prijatelji optužili Eupatoru, pa je svakom prilikom slušao kako ga nazivaju izdajicom zato što je ostavio Cipar koji mu je povjerio Filometor i što je prešao Antiohu Epifanu. Pa kad više časne vlasti nije mogao časno izvršavati, otrovom je sebi oduzeo život.
14 And the city to which he was going in haste to lay it even with the ground, and to make it a, common buryingplace, he now desireth to make free.	14 Kad je potom Gorgija postao upraviteljem tih predjela, skupljao je najamničku vojsku i svakom se prilikom zaraćivao sa Židovima.
15 And the Jews whom he said he would not account worthy to be so much as buried, but would give them up to be devoured by the birds and wild beasts, and would utterly destroy them with their children, he now promiseth to make equal with the Athenians.	15 U isto su vrijeme Idumejci, gospodari tvrđava na dobrim položajima, dodijavali Židovima te su, prihvaćajući izbjeglice iz Jeruzalema, nastojali održati ratno stanje.
16 The holy temple also which before he had spoiled, he promiseth to adorn with goodly gifts, and to multiply the holy vessels, and to allow out of his revenues the charges pertaining to the sacrifices.	16 Makabej i njegovi drugovi, pošto su se okupili na molitvu i Boga molili da im bude saveznik, krenuše protiv tih idumejskih tvrđava.
17 Yea also, that he would become a Jew himself, and would go through every place of the earth, and declare the power of God.	17 Udarivši snažno, osvojiše te položaje i suzbiše sve one koji su se borili na bedemima. Pobili su sve na koje su naišli, tako da ih je palo ne manje od dvadeset tisuća.
18 But his pains not ceasing (for the just judgment of God was come upon him) despairing of life he wrote to the Jews in the manner of a supplication, a letter in these words:	18 Kako je najmanje devet tisuća ljudi pobjeglo u dvije dobro utvrđene kule, a sa sobom su imali sve što je potrebno da se izdrži opsada,
19 To his very good subjects the Jews, Antiochus king and ruler wisheth much health and welfare, and happiness.	19 Makabej ostavi Šimuna i Josipa sa Zakejem i njegovima, njih dovoljan broj za opsadu, a sam ode u druga mjesta, gdje je bila veća potreba.
20 If you and your children are well, and if all matters go with you to your mind, we give very great thanks.	20 Ali Šimunove ljude, pohlepne za novcem, potkupiše neki što su se onamo sklonili, tako te oni, primivši sedamdeset tisuća drahma, pustiše neke da uteknu.
21 As for me, being infirm, but yet kindly remembering you, returning out of the places of Persia, and being taken with a grievous disease, I thought it necessary to take care for the common good:	21 Kad su Makabeju javili što se dogodilo, on skupi narodne vođe i optuži krivce da su za novce prodali svoju braću jer su pustili da pobjegnu neprijatelji.
22 Not distrusting my life, but having great hope to escape the sickness.	22 Zato ih je dao pogubiti kao izdajice, a onda odmah zauze obje kule.
23 But considering that my father also, at what time she led an army into the higher countries, appointed who should reign after him:	23 Sretan u oružju, pobi u obadvije tvrđave preko dvadeset tisuća ljudi.
24 To the end that if any thing contrary to expectation should fall out, or ally bad tidings should be brought, they that were in the countries, knowing to whom the whole government was left, might not be troubled.	24 Gezer Timotej, koga su Židovi prije porazili, skupi mnogo stranih četa, sabra znatan broj azijskih konjanika i krenu na Judeju misleći da će je oružjem osvojiti.
25 Moreover, considering that neighbouring princes and borderers wait for opportunities, and expect what shall be the event, I have appointed my son Antiochus king, whom I often recommended to many of you, when I went into the higher provinces: and I have written to him what I have joined here below.	25 Kad se približavao, Makabej i njegovi ljudi stadoše zazivati Boga, posuvši glave prahom i pripasavši oko bokova kostrijet.
26 I pray you therefore, and request of you, that remembering favours both public and private, you will every man of you continue to be faithful to me and to my son.	26 Padnuvši ničice na podnožju žrtvenika, molili su Boga da im bude milostiv: da bude neprijatelj njihovih neprijatelja, protivnik njihovih protivnika, kako to objašnjava Zakon.
27 For I trust that he will behave with I moderation and humanity, and following my intentions, will be gracious unto you.	27 Kad su završili molitvu, pograbiše oružje, prilično se odmaknuše od grada i zaustaviše pred neprijateljem.
28 Thus the murderer and blasphemer, being grievously struck, as himself had treated others, died a miserable death in a strange country among the mountains.	28 Upravo u cik zore pograbiše se. Jednima je zalog uspjeha i pobjede, osim hrabrosti, bilo uzdanje u Gospodina, a drugi su vodstvo boja stavili samo u junaštvo.
29 But Philip that was brought up with him, carried away his body: and out of fear of the son of Antiochus, went into Egypt to Ptolemee Philometor.	29 Kad se razmahalo kreševo, protivnicima se ukaza s neba pet krasnih ljudi na konjima sa zlatnim uzdama; oni stadoše na čelo Židovima.
	30 U isto vrijeme uzeše Makabeja među se da ga štite svojim oružjem i čuvaju neranjena, dok su na protivnike bacali strelice i munje, tako da su ih zabliještili i smeli te se oni raspršiše u najvećem neredu.
	31 Bî tada pobijeno dvadeset tisuća i pet stotina pješaka i šest stotina konjanika.
	32 Timotej pobježe u vrlo utvrđeno mjesto zvano Gezer, kojim je upravljao Hereja.
	33 Makabej i njegovi srčano su ga opsjedali četiri dana.
	34 Uzdajući se u čvrstoću mjesta, oni koji bijahu ondje užasno su psovali i sipali bestidnosti.
	35 Kad je peti dan počelo svitati, dvadeset mladića iz Makabejeve vojske, poneseno gnjevom zbog onih psovki, jurnu na zid muški hrabro i u divljem žaru pobi svakoga na koga naiđe.
	36 Jednako su na opsjednute navalili i drugi s protivne strane. Zažegli su kule i, raspirivši lomače, žive sažgali one bogohulnike. Drugi razbiše vrata, pustiše unutra ostalu vojsku i zaposjedoše grad.
	37 Timoteja, koji se sakrio u neku nakapnicu, zaklaše zajedno s njegovim bratom Herejom i Apolofanom.
	38 Pošto obaviše posao, počeše himnima i zahvalnicama slaviti Gospodina koji je Izraelu iskazao veliku dobrotu i dao mu pobjedu.
