¹

And these are the nations which the Lord left to prove Israel with them, all that had not known the wars of Chanaan.

¹

Сїя же страны` ја%же ѓ^ста'ви г~ь. да и^скђси'т# и^ми і^и^л~я вс^я невњ'дђщая ра'ти, ханаа'ньски”

²

Only for the sake of the generations of Israel, to teach them war, only the men before them knew them not.

²

ЈА/ко да ё^вњсть с^е наслњ'дникъ сн~овъ і^и^л~евъ, и^ да ё^чи'тъ я& ра'ти. ѓ^ба'че и^же прежде сего` не ё^вњ'дяше”

³

The five lordships of the Phylistines, and every Chananite, and the Sidonian, and the Evite who dwelt in Libanus from the mount of Aermon to Laboemath.

³

пя'ть вое^во'дъ и^ноплеме'н#ническъ, князе'и и^ всего` ханане'я, и^ сидо'нина и^ е^ё^е'я живђщаго в лива'нњ, эT горы` ваа'лъ е^рмо'на. да ла'въвема'џа”

⁴

And this was done in order to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would obey the commands of the Lord, which he charged their fathers by the hand of Moses.

⁴

И$ бы'сть ја^коже и^скђси` и%ми і^и^л~я. да ё^вњ'сться послђш'аютъ л^и за'повњдь гн~ю, ја%же заповњ'да эTц~ем# и^хъ рђко'ю мољ=сїи^ною”

⁵

And the children of Israel dwelt in the midst of the Chananite, and the Chettite, and the Amorite, and the Pherezite, and the Evite, and the Jebusite.

⁵

И$ вселишася сн~ове і^и^л~еви средњ ханане'я. и^ хет#џе'я. і^ а^м#морре'я. И$ ферезе'я. и е^в#ве'я. и^ гер#гесе'я, и^ е^о^у^се'я”

⁶

And they took their daughters for wives to themselves, and they gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.

⁶

И$ поја%ша дще'ри и^хъ себњ` въ жены`, и^ дще'ри своя да'ша сн~омъ и^хъ. и^ послђжи'ша бого'мъ и^хъ”

⁷

And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and forgot the Lord their God, and served Baalim and the groves.

⁷

И$ сътвори'ша сн~ове і^и^л~еви ѕл^о преD бм~ъ и^ забы'ша г~а б~а свое^го. и^ послђжи'ша ваа'лђ и^ а'л#сђ”

⁸

And the Lord was very angry with Israel, and sold them into the hand of Chusarsathaim king of Syria of the rivers: and the children of Israel served Chusarsathaim eight years.

⁸

И$ разгнњ'вася ја%ростїю г~ь на і^и^л~я, и^ преда'сть я& в рђкђ хђсарсаџе'мђ цр~ю сљ=рскђ в# междорњчїе и^ рабо'таша е^мђ, лњт# и~”

⁹

And the children of Israel cried to the Lord; and the Lord raised up a saviour to Israel, and he saved them, Gothoniel the son of Kenez, the brother of Chaleb younger than himself.

⁹

И$ възопи'ша сн~ове і^и^л~еви къ г~ђ. и^ въста'ви г~ь сп~сенїе і^и^л~ю. и^ сп~се я& гоџонии%лъ, сн~ъ кене'зовъ бра'тъ хале'воv мнїи,

¹⁰

And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war against Chusarsathaim: and the Lord delivered into his hand Chusarsathaim king of Syria of the rivers, and his hand prevailed against Chusarsathaim.

¹⁰

и^ бы'сть на не'мъ дх~ъ гн~ь и^ сђди` і^и^л~я. і^ и^зы'де на рать къ хђсарсаџе'мђ цр~ю и^ преда` г~ь в рђ'цњ е^го цр~я сљ=рска, и^ ё^крњпи'ся рђка` е^го наD хђсарсаџемоM сљ=рскимъ”

¹¹

And the land was quiet forty years; and Gothoniel the son of Kenez died.

¹¹

И$ бысть въ поко'и земля`, м~, лњтъ. и^ посе'мъ ё%мре гоџонии%лъ сн~ъ кене'зоv.

¹²

And the children of Israel continued to do evil before the Lord: and the Lord strengthened Eglom king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil before the Lord.

¹²

И$ приложи'ша сн~ове і^и^л~еви сотвори'ти ѕл^о преD гм~ъ. и^ ё^крњпи` г~ь е^гло'ма цр~я моа'вля на і^и^л~я занеже сътвори` ѕло'е преD гм~ъ”

¹³

And he gathered to himself all the children of Ammon and Amalec, and went and smote Israel, and took possession of the city of Palm-trees.

¹³

И$ събра` к себњ вс^я сн~ы аMмо'ня. и^ а^мали'ковы, і^ и'де и^ поби` і^и^л~я, и^ прїя` гра'ды џини'чески”

¹⁴

And the children of Israel served Eglom the king of Moab eighteen years.

¹⁴

И$ рабо'таша сн~ове і^и^л~ви е^гло'мђ цр~ю моа'влю, лњтъ, и~і”

¹⁵

And the children of Israel cried to the Lord; and he raised up to them a saviour, Aod the son of Gera a son of Jemeni, a man who used both hands alike: and the children of Israel sent gifts by his hand to Eglom king of Moab.

¹⁵

И$ възопи'ша сн~ове і^и^л~еви къ г~ђ. и^ въста'ви и^мъ г~ь сп~сенїе а^ѓ'да сн~а гара'ня, сн~а е^мїина мђжа е^же не владњ` десни'цею. и^ посла'ша сн~ове і^и^л~еви дары рђко'ю е^го, е^гло'мђ цр~ю моа'влю”

¹⁶

And Aod made himself a dagger of two edges, of a span long, and he girded it under his cloak upon his right thigh.

¹⁶

И$ сътвори` себњ а^ѓ'дъ ноQ ѓ^бою'дђ ѓ%стръ, на' пядь е^ди'нђ долгота` е^го. и^ пояса'ся и^мъ по бедрњ десно'и свое'и”

¹⁷

And he went, and brought the presents to Eglom king of Moab, and Eglom was a very handsome man.

¹⁷

І$ и'де и^ принесе` дары е^гло'мђ цр~ю моа'влю. е^гло'м же мђж# ѓ^сла'блеn б^њ ѕњ'ло”

¹⁸

And it came to pass when Aod had made an end of offering his gifts, that he dismissed those that brought the gifts.

¹⁸

И$ бы'сть ја%ко сконча` а^ѓ'дъ принося` дары. и^ вы'слалъ нося'щая да'ры”

¹⁹

And he himself returned from the quarries that are by Galgal; and Aod said, I have a secret errand to thee, O king! and Eglom said to him, Be silent: and he sent away from his presence all who waited upon him.

¹⁹

И$ е^гло'мъ ѓ^брати'ся эT і%долъ и^же въ галга'лњхъ. и^ реq а^ѓ'дъ слово мн^њ е^сть к тебњ та'ино цр~ю, и^ рече е^гло'мъ всњмъ преDстоя%щимъ пред ни'мъ. да и^зы'дђтъ во'нъ, і^ и^зыдо'ша вс^и преDстоя'щїи е^го”

²⁰

And Aod went in to him; and he sat in his own upper summer chamber quite alone; and Aod said, I have a message from God to thee, O king: and Eglom rose up from his throne near him.

²⁰

А$ѓ'д же внїиде к немђ`. се'и же сидя'ше на восхо'дницы лњтнїи е^ді'н# и^ рече а^ѓ'дъ слово бж~їе мн^њ къ тебњ цр~ю. и^ въста` е^гло'мъ съ стола` и^ прїиде к немђ`”

²¹

And it came to pass as he arose, that Aod stretched forth his left hand, and took the dagger off his right thigh, and plunged it into his belly;

²¹

И$ бысть е^гда въста` а^гїе, простре` а^ѓ'дъ рђкђ лњвђю с^и і^ и^звлече` но'жъ и^же наD стегно'мъ е^го де'сным#, и^ вон#зе` во чре'во е^гло'мово”

²²

and drove in also the haft after the blade, and the fat closed in upon the blade, for he drew not out the dagger from his belly.

²²

И$ поDти'снђ и^ чреn поD ко'жђ, и^ затвори` ја%звђ тђ'къ, ја%ко не и^звлече` ножа` и^с чре'ва е^го н^о и^зы'де лаи^но`”

²³

And Aod went out to the porch, and passed out by the appointed guards, and shut the doors of the chamber upon him, and locked them.

²³

І$ и^зы'де а^ѓ'дъ во па'пертъ. и^ затвори` двери вхо'дницы го'рнеи е^го, и^ заключи` е^го

²⁴

And he went out: and Eglom's servants came, and saw, and behold, the doors of the upper chamber were locked; and they said, Does he not uncover his feet in the summer-chamber?

²⁴

І$ е^гда сїи и^зы'де прїидо'ша раби` е^го ё^зрњша, и^ с^е две'ри въсхо'дницы затво'рены. и^ рњша, е^д^а в за'дњ сњдиT ё^го'дная себњ` творя` эTшедъ эT ло'жа”

²⁵

And they waited till they were ashamed, and, behold, there was no one that opened the doors of the upper chamber; and they took the key, and opened them; and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead upon the earth.

²⁵

И$ прежда'ше ё^мо'л#кше” и^ се не бы'сть эTврьза'яй две'ри въсхоDницы, и^ взе'мше клю'чь эTврьзо'ша, и с^е господи'нъ и^хъ лежи'тъ на зеMли` мр~твъ”

²⁶

And Aod escaped while they were in a tumult, and no one paid attention to him; and he passed the quarries, and escaped to Setirotha.

²⁶

А$ѓ'д же ё^бњжа` до'ндеже ѓ^бозрњша, и^ минђ'въ і%долы вни'де въ ро'џђ”

²⁷

And it came to pass when Aod came into the land of Israel, that he blew the horn in mount Ephraim, and the children of Israel came down with him from the mountain, and he was before them.

²⁷

И$ бы'сть е^гда прїиде а^ѓD въ зе'млю і^ил~евђ, и^ въстрђби` ро'гоM в горњ` ефре'мли, и^ снидо'ша с нимъ съ горы` сн~ове і^и^л~еви, се'и же преD ни'ми”

²⁸

And he said to them, Come down after me, for the Lord God has delivered our enemies, even Moab, into our hand; and they went down after him, and seized on the fords of Jordan before Moab, and he did not suffer a man to pass over.

²⁸

И$ рече к ни'мъ, и^дњте въ слDњ мене`, ја%ко преда'сть г~ь б~ъ врагы` на'ша моа'вляне в рђцњ на'ши” І$ и^до'ша въ слњ'дъ е^го, и^ преDвзя'ша прехо'ды ё^ і^ѓ^рда'на и^ моа'вля, и^ не да'ша никомђже минђт'и”

²⁹

And they smote Moab on that day about ten thousand men, every lusty person and every mighty man; and not a man escaped.

²⁹

І$ и^зби'ша моа'ва в т^о вре'мя ја%ко, і~, ты'сяu мђжъ вс^я во'ины, и^же в ни'хъ, и^ вся'къ мђжъ си'ленъ и^ не ё^бњже н^и е^ді'нъ”

³⁰

So Moab was humbled in that day under the hand of Israel, and the land had rest eighty years; and Aod judged them till he died.

³⁰

И$ премњни'ся моа'въ в то'и дн~ь поD рђкђ і^и^л~евђ, и^ бысть в поко'й земля`, п~, лњтъ и^ сђди` и^мъ а^ѓD до'ндеже ё%мре”

³¹

And after him rose up Samegar the son of Dinach, and smote the Philistines to the number of six hundred men with a ploughshare such as is drawn by oxen; and he too delivered Israel.

³¹

По не'м же въста` самега'ръ сн~ъ а^на'џовъ, се'и изби` и^ноплеме'н#никъ, х~, мђжъ, радлицею плђж'ною и^ сп~се и^ се'и і^и^л~я”
