Kniha Sudcov

1 (KAT) Jerobálov syn Abimelech sa vybral do Sichemu k bratom svojej matky a vravel im aj celému príbuzenstvu rodiny svojej matky:
1 (VUL) Abiit autem Abimelech filius Ierobbaal in Sichem ad fratres matris suae et locutus est ad eos et ad omnem cognationem familiae matris suae dicens:
1 (UKJV) And Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal went to Shechem unto his mother's brethren, and communed with them, and with all the family of the house of his mother's father, saying,

2 (KAT) „Hovorte verejne všetkým sichemským občanom: Čo je vám lepšie, aby panovalo nad vami sedemdesiat mužov, všetci Jerobálovi synovia, alebo aby panoval nad vami len jeden muž? Pamätajte tiež, že ja som vaša kosť a vaše mäso!“
2 (VUL) “ Loquimini ad omnes viros Sichem: “Quid vobis est melius, ut dominentur vestri septuaginta viri, omnes filii Ierobbaal, an ut dominetur vobis unus vir? Simulque considerate quod os vestrum et caro vestra sum” ”.
2 (UKJV) Speak, I pray you, in the ears of all the men of Shechem, Whether is better for you, either that all the sons of Jerubbaal, which are threescore and ten persons, reign over you, or that one reign over you? remember also that I am your bone and your flesh.

3 (KAT) A bratia jeho matky verejne hovorili o ňom všetky tieto slová všetkým sichemským občanom a ich srdce sa naklonilo k Abimelechovi. Potom si povrávali: „On je náš brat.“
3 (VUL) Locutique sunt fratres matris eius de eo ad omnes viros Sichem universos sermones istos et inclinaverunt cor eorum post Abimelech dicentes: “ Frater noster est ”.
3 (UKJV) "And his mother's brethren spoke of him in the ears of all the men of Shechem all these words: and their hearts inclined to follow Abimelech; for they said, He is our brother. "

4 (KAT) A dali mu z chrámu Bál-berita sedemdesiat šeklov striebra. Abimelech si za ne najal povaľačských a bezočivých mužov, ktorí sa stali jeho družinou.
4 (VUL) Dederuntque illi septuaginta pondo argenti de fano Baalberith; qui conduxit sibi ex eo viros inopes et vagos, secutique sunt eum.
4 (UKJV) And they gave him threescore and ten pieces of silver out of the house of Baalberith, wherewith Abimelech hired vain and light persons, which followed him.

5 (KAT) Potom išiel do domu svojho otca do Efry a pobil svojich bratov, Jerobálových synov, sedemdesiat mužov na jednom kameni. Zostal iba najmladší Jerobálov syn Joatam, lebo sa skryl.
5 (VUL) Et venit in domum patris sui Ephra et occidit fratres suos filios Ierobbaal septuaginta viros super lapidem unum. Remansitque Ioatham filius Ierobbaal minimus, quia absconditus erat.
5 (UKJV) "And he went unto his father's house at Ophrah, and slew his brethren the sons of Jerubbaal, being threescore and ten persons, upon one stone: notwithstanding yet Jotham the youngest son of Jerubbaal was left; for he hid himself. "

6 (KAT) Nato sa zhromaždili všetci sichemskí občania a všetci obyvatelia Mela, išli a ustanovili Abimelecha za kráľa pri pamätnom dube, ktorý stál v Sicheme.
6 (VUL) Congregati sunt autem omnes viri Sichem et universae domus Mello abieruntque et constituerunt regem Abimelech iuxta quercum, quae stabat in Sichem.
6 (UKJV) And all the men of Shechem gathered together, and all the house of Millo, and went, and made Abimelech king, by the plain of the pillar that was in Shechem.

7 (KAT) Keď to oznámili Joatamovi, šiel, postavil sa na končiari vrchu Garizim a zvýšeným hlasom im volal: „Počujte ma, Sichemčania, aby aj vás počul Boh.
7 (VUL) Quod cum nuntiatum esset Ioatham, ivit et stetit in vertice montis Garizim elevataque voce clamavit et dixit: “ Audite me, viri Sichem, ut audiat vos Deus.
7 (UKJV) And when they told it to Jotham, he went and stood in the top of mount Gerizim, and lifted up his voice, and cried, and said unto them, Hearken unto me, all of you men of Shechem, that God may hearken unto you.

8 (KAT) Išli raz stromy pomazať si kráľa. I povedali olive: »Kraľuj nad nami!«
8 (VUL) Ierunt ligna, ut ungerent super se regem, dixeruntque olivae: “Impera nobis”.
8 (UKJV) "The trees went forth on a time to anoint a king over them; and they said unto the olive tree, Reign you over us. "

9 (KAT) Ale oliva im odvetila: »Môžem ja zanechať svoju tučnosť, ktorú zvelebujú bohovia i ľudia, a ísť sa povyšovať nad stromami?«
9 (VUL) Quae respondit: “Numquid possum deserere pinguedinem meam, qua et dii honorantur et homines, et venire, ut super ligna movear?”.
9 (UKJV) But the olive tree said unto them, Should I leave my fatness, wherewith by me they honour God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?

10 (KAT) Potom povedali stromy figovníku: »Nože poď ty a kraľuj nad nami!«
10 (VUL) Dixeruntque ligna ad arborem ficum: “Veni et super nos regnum accipe”.
10 (UKJV) And the trees said to the fig tree, Come you, and reign over us.

11 (KAT) Ale figovník im odpovedal: »Môžem ja zanechať svoju sladkosť a tie svoje skvostné plody a ísť sa povyšovať nad stromami?«
11 (VUL) Quae respondit eis: “Numquid possum deserere dulcedinem meam fructusque suavissimos et ire, ut super cetera ligna movear?”.
11 (UKJV) But the fig tree said unto them, Should I forsake my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to be promoted over the trees?

12 (KAT) Povedali teda stromy viniču: »Poď ty a kraľuj nad nami!«
12 (VUL) Locuta quoque sunt ligna ad vitem: “Veni et impera nobis”.
12 (UKJV) Then said the trees unto the vine, Come you, and reign over us.

13 (KAT) Vinič im však odvetil takisto: »Môžem ja zanechať svoj mušt, ktorý obveseľuje bohov i ľudí, a ísť a povyšovať sa nad stromami?«
13 (VUL) Quae respondit: “Numquid possum deserere vinum meum, quod laetificat deos et homines, et super ligna cetera commoveri?”.
13 (UKJV) And the vine said unto them, Should I leave my wine, which cheers God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?

14 (KAT) Povedali všetky stromy bodliaku: »Poď ty a kraľuj nad nami!«
14 (VUL) Dixeruntque omnia ligna ad rhamnum: “Veni et impera super nos”.
14 (UKJV) Then said all the trees unto the bramble, Come you, and reign over us.

15 (KAT) Bodliak odpovedal stromom: »Ak ma vskutku pomažete, aby som bol vaším kráľom, poďte, schovajte sa v mojej tôni! Ak nie, vyšľahne oheň z bodliaka a strávi libanonské cédre.«
15 (VUL) Quae respondit eis: “Si vere me regem vobis constituitis, venite et sub mea umbra requiescite; sin autem non vultis, egrediatur ignis de rhamno et devoret cedros Libani!”.
15 (UKJV) And the bramble said unto the trees, If in truth all of you anoint me king over you, then come and put your trust in my shadow: and if not, let fire come out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon.

16 (KAT) Teraz teda, ak ste opravdivo a čestne konali, keď ste ustanovovali Abimelecha za kráľa, ak ste dobre urobili s Jerobálom a jeho domom, ak ste sa k nemu zachovali podľa jeho zásluh -
16 (VUL) Nunc igitur, si recte et absque peccato constituistis super vos regem Abimelech et bene egistis cum Ierobbaal et cum domo eius et reddidistis vicem beneficiis eius,
16 (UKJV) "Now therefore, if all of you have done truly and sincerely, in that all of you have made Abimelech king, and if all of you have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have done unto him according to the deserving of his hands; "

17 (KAT) vy, za ktorých bojoval môj otec, ba až svoj život nasadil, a ktorých vyslobodil z ruky Madiánčanov -
17 (VUL) qui pugnavit pro vobis et animam suam dedit periculis, ut erueret vos de manu Madian,
17 (UKJV) (For my father fought for you, and adventured his life far, and delivered you out of the hand of Midian:

18 (KAT) vy však ste sa dnes vzbúrili proti domu môjho otca a pozabíjali ste jeho synov, sedemdesiat mužov na jednom kameni, a ustanovili ste Abimelecha, syna jeho slúžky, za kráľa nad sichemskými občanmi, pretože je váš brat -,
18 (VUL) qui nunc surrexistis contra domum patris mei et interfecistis filios eius septuaginta viros super unum lapidem et constituistis regem Abimelech filium ancillae eius super habitatores Sichem, eo quod frater vester sit;
18 (UKJV) "And all of you are risen up against my father's house this day, and have slain his sons, threescore and ten persons, upon one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his maidservant, king over the men of Shechem, because he is your brother;) "

19 (KAT) ak ste teda opravdivo a čestne urobili s Jerobálom a jeho domom v dnešný deň, radujte sa z Abimelecha a on nech sa zas raduje z vás!
19 (VUL) si ergo recte et absque vitio egistis cum Ierobbaal et domo eius hodie, laetamini in Abimelech, et ille laetetur in vobis.
19 (UKJV) If all of you then have dealt truly and sincerely with Jerubbaal and with his house this day, then rejoice all of you in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice in you:

20 (KAT) Ale ak nie, nech vyšľahne oheň z Abimelecha a strávi sichemských občanov i Melo! A nech vyšľahne oheň zo sichemských občanov a z Mela a nech strávi Abimelecha!“
20 (VUL) Sin autem perverse, egrediatur ignis ex Abimelech et consumat habitatores Sichem et domum Mello, egrediaturque ignis de viris Sichem et de domo Mello et devoret Abimelech! ”.
20 (UKJV) "But if not, let fire come out from Abimelech, and devour the men of Shechem, and the house of Millo; and let fire come out from the men of Shechem, and from the house of Millo, and devour Abimelech. "

21 (KAT) Potom Joatam utiekol a utiahol sa do bezpečia. Odišiel do Bery a tam zostal (zo strachu) pred svojím bratom Abimelechom.
21 (VUL) Quae cum Ioatham dixisset, fugit et abiit in Bera habitavitque ibi metu Abimelech fratris sui.
21 (UKJV) And Jotham ran away, and fled, and went to Beer, and dwelt there, for fear of Abimelech his brother.

22 (KAT) Abimelech panoval nad Izraelom tri roky.
22 (VUL) Regnavit itaque Abimelech super Israel tribus annis.
22 (UKJV) When Abimelech had reigned three years over Israel,

23 (KAT) Potom Boh poslal zlého ducha (nezhody) medzi Abimelecha a sichemských občanov - takže sichemskí občania zostali neverní Abimelechovi -,
23 (VUL) Misitque Deus spiritum pessimum inter Abimelech et habitatores Sichem, qui rebellaverunt contra eum,
23 (UKJV) "Then God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech: "

24 (KAT) aby tak zločin na sedemdesiatich Jerobálových synoch prešiel a ich krv zaľahla na ich brata Abimelecha, ktorý ich zavraždil, a tiež na sichemských občanov, ktorí ho povzbudzovali, aby zabil svojich bratov.
24 (VUL) ut scelus interfectionis septuaginta filiorum Ierobbaal et effusio sanguinis eorum veniret super Abimelech fratrem suum et in viros Sichimorum, qui eum adiuverant.
24 (UKJV) "That the cruelty done to the threescore and ten sons of Jerubbaal might come, and their blood be laid upon Abimelech their brother, which slew them; and upon the men of Shechem, which aided him in the killing of his brethren. "

25 (KAT) Sichemskí občania potom postavili proti nemu zálohy na vrcholoch hôr a olupovali každého, kto k nim prichádzal po ceste. Toto oznámili Abimelechovi.
25 (VUL) Posueruntque insidias adversus eum in montium summitate et exercebant latrocinia agentes praedas de omnibus praetereuntibus. Nuntiatumque est Abimelech.
25 (UKJV) And the men of Shechem set hidden attackers in wait for him in the top of the mountains, and they robbed all that came along that way by them: and it was told Abimelech.

26 (KAT) Tu prišiel Obedov syn Gál aj so svojimi bratmi a vošli do Sichemu. A sichemskí občania im prejavili dôveru.
26 (VUL) Venit autem Gaal filius Ebed cum fratribus suis et transivit in Sichimam, et confisi sunt habitatores Sichem in eo.
26 (UKJV) And Gaal the son of Ebed came with his brethren, and went over to Shechem: and the men of Shechem put their confidence in him.

27 (KAT) Vybrali sa do poľa, oberali a lisovali hrozno a potom usporiadali slávnosť. Pritom vošli do chrámu svojho boha, kde jedli a pili a preklínali Abimelecha.
27 (VUL) Egressi in agros vindemiaverunt vineas uvasque calcaverunt et, factis cantantium choris, ingressi sunt fanum dei sui et inter epulas et pocula maledicebant Abimelech,
27 (UKJV) And they went out into the fields, and gathered their vineyards, and trode the grapes, and made merry, and went into the house of their god, and did eat and drink, and cursed Abimelech.

28 (KAT) Tu zvolal Obedov syn Gál: „Kto je Abimelech a kto je Sichemčan, aby sme mu my slúžili? A nemal by Jerobálov syn a jeho správca Zebul slúžiť mužom Sichemovho otca Emora?! Prečo by sme mali slúžiť my jemu?!
28 (VUL) clamante Gaal filio Ebed: “ Quis est Abimelech, et quae est Sichem, ut serviamus ei? Numquid non est filius Ierobbaal et Zebul praefectus eius? Servite viris Hemmor patris Sichem! Cur serviemus ei?
28 (UKJV) And Gaal the son of Ebed said, Who is Abimelech, and who is Shechem, that we should serve him? is not he the son of Jerubbaal? and Zebul his officer? serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem: for why should we serve him?

29 (KAT) Keby mi niekto dal tento ľud do ruky, odstránil by som Abimelecha!“ A vyzval Abimelecha: „Zosilni svoje vojsko a vytiahni!“
29 (VUL) Utinam daret aliquis populum istum sub manu mea, ut auferrem de medio Abimelech et dicerem ei: Congrega exercitus multitudinem et veni ”.
29 (UKJV) And would to God this people were under my hand! then would I remove Abimelech. And he said to Abimelech, Increase your army, and come out.

30 (KAT) Keď sa veliteľ mesta Zebul dopočul o rečiach Obedovho syna Gála, vzplanul hnevom.
30 (VUL) Zebul princeps civitatis, auditis sermonibus Gaal filii Ebed, iratus est valde
30 (UKJV) And when Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his anger was kindled.

31 (KAT) Ľstivo vyslal poslov k Abimelechovi a odkázal mu: „Obedov syn Gál a jeho bratia došli do Sichemu a teraz poburujú mesto proti tebe.
31 (VUL) et misit clam ad Abimelech nuntios dicens: “ Ecce Gaal filius Ebed venit in Sichimam cum fratribus suis et excitant adversum te civitatem.
31 (UKJV) "And he sent messengers unto Abimelech privately, saying, Behold, Gaal the son of Ebed and his brethren be come to Shechem; and, behold, they fortify the city against you. "

32 (KAT) Vyber sa teda v noci aj so svojimi ľuďmi a postav sa do zálohy v poli!
32 (VUL) Surge itaque nocte cum populo, qui tecum est, et latita in agro.
32 (UKJV) Now therefore up by night, you and the people that is with you, and lie in wait in the field:

33 (KAT) A zrána, len čo vyjde slnko, vstaň a udri na mesto! On vytiahne so svojimi ľuďmi proti tebe. Potom už s ním urob, čo budeš môcť.“
33 (VUL) Et primo mane, oriente sole, irrue super civitatem; illo autem egrediente adversum te cum populo suo, fac ei, quod potueris ”.
33 (UKJV) And it shall be, that in the morning, as soon as the sun is up, you shall rise early, and set upon the city: and, behold, when he and the people that is with him come out against you, then may you do to them as you shall find occasion.

34 (KAT) Abimelech sa vybral za noci aj so svojimi ľuďmi a postavil proti Sichemu štyri oddiely do zálohy.
34 (VUL) Surrexit itaque Abimelech cum omni exercitu suo nocte et tetendit insidias iuxta Sichimam in quattuor locis.
34 (UKJV) And Abimelech rose up, and all the people that were with him, by night, and they laid wait against Shechem in four companies.

35 (KAT) Keď Obedov syn Gál vytiahol a zastavil sa pri vchode do mestskej brány, vtedy vyrazil Abimelech so svojimi ľuďmi zo zálohy.
35 (VUL) Egressusque est Gaal filius Ebed et stetit in introitu portae civitatis; surrexit autem Abimelech et omnis exercitus cum eo de insidiarum loco.
35 (UKJV) And Gaal the son of Ebed went out, and stood in the entering of the gate of the city: and Abimelech rose up, and the people that were with him, from lying in wait.

36 (KAT) Keď Gál zazrel ľudí, povedal Zebulovi: „Hľa, ľudia zostupujú z vrchov!“ Ale Zebul mu odvetil: „To sa ti len zdá, že tiene vrchov sú mužovia.“
36 (VUL) Cumque vidisset populum Gaal, dixit ad Zebul: “ Ecce de montibus multitudo descendit ”. Cui ille respondit: “ Umbras montium vides quasi homines ”.
36 (UKJV) And when Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul, Behold, there come people down from the top of the mountains. And Zebul said unto him, You see the shadow of the mountains as if they were men.

37 (KAT) Ale Gál opäť hovoril: „Ľudia zostupujú od pupka zeme! A jeden zástup prichádza po ceste k Dubu veštcov.“
37 (VUL) Rursumque Gaal ait: “ Ecce populus de Umbilico terrae descendit, et unus cuneus venit per viam Quercus Augurum ”.
37 (UKJV) And Gaal spoke again, and said, See there come people down by the middle of the land, and another company come along by the plain of Meonenim.

38 (KAT) Zebul mu povedal: „Kde sú teraz tvoje ústa, ktorými si hovoril: »Kto je Abimelech, aby sme my slúžili jemu?!« Nie sú to práve tí ľudia, ktorými si ty pohŕdal? Nože, vytiahni teraz a bojuj proti nim!“
38 (VUL) Cui dixit Zebul: “ Ubi est nunc os tuum, quo loquebaris: “Quis est Abimelech, ut serviamus ei?”. Nonne iste est populus, quem despiciebas? Egredere et pugna contra eum ”.
38 (UKJV) Then said Zebul unto him, Where is now your mouth, wherewith you said, Who is Abimelech, that we should serve him? is not this the people that you have despised? go out, I pray now, and fight with them.

39 (KAT) Tu Gál vytiahol na čele sichemských občanov a bojoval proti Abimelechovi.
39 (VUL) Abiit ergo Gaal, spectante Sichimorum populo, et pugnavit contra Abimelech.
39 (UKJV) And Gaal went out before the men of Shechem, and fought with Abimelech.

40 (KAT) Lenže Abimelech ho donútil k ústupu a utekal pred ním. A ležalo mnoho pobitých až po vchod do (mestskej) brány.
40 (VUL) Qui persecutus est eum fugientem, cecideruntque ex parte eius plurimi usque ad portam civitatis.
40 (UKJV) And Abimelech chased him, and he fled before him, and many were overthrown and wounded, even unto the entering of the gate.

41 (KAT) Ale Abimelech zostal v Rume. Zebul potom vyhnal Gála a jeho bratov, nesmeli už zostať v Sicheme.
41 (VUL) Et Abimelech sedit in Aruma; Zebul autem Gaal et fratres eius expulit de urbe nec in ea passus est commorari.
41 (UKJV) And Abimelech dwelt at Arumah: and Zebul thrust out Gaal and his brethren, that they should not dwell in Shechem.

42 (KAT) Na druhý deň vyšiel ľud do poľa. Keď to oznámili Abimelechovi,
42 (VUL) Sequenti ergo die egressus est populus in campum. Quod cum nuntiatum esset Abimelech,
42 (UKJV) "And it came to pass on the next day, that the people went out into the field; and they told Abimelech. "

43 (KAT) vzal ľudí, rozdelil ich na tri zástupy a postavil sa v poli do zálohy. Keď spozoroval, že ľud vychádza z mesta, vyrazil proti nemu, aby ho porazil.
43 (VUL) tulit exercitum suum et divisit in tres turmas tendens insidias in agris. Vidensque quod egrederetur populus de civitate, surrexit et percussit eos.
43 (UKJV) "And he took the people, and divided them into three companies, and laid wait in the field, and looked, and, behold, the people were come forth out of the city; and he rose up against them, and stroke them. "

44 (KAT) Abimelech so svojím oddielom zaútočil a postavil sa ku vchodu do mestskej brány. Zatiaľ druhé dva oddiely zaútočili na všetkých tých, čo boli v poli, a pobili ich.
44 (VUL) Irruensque cum cuneo suo obsedit ingressum portae civitatis; duae autem turmae palantes per campum adversarios percusserunt.
44 (UKJV) And Abimelech, and the company that was with him, rushed forward, and stood in the entering of the gate of the city: and the two other companies ran upon all the people that were in the fields, and slew them.

45 (KAT) Abimelech bojoval proti mestu celý deň. Keď mesto zaujal, pobil ľudí, ktorí v ňom boli, mesto rozbúral a posypal ho soľou.
45 (VUL) Porro Abimelech omni illo die oppugnabat urbem, quam cepit, interfectis habitatoribus eius ipsaque destructa, ita ut sal in ea dispergeret.
45 (UKJV) "And Abimelech fought against the city all that day; and he took the city, and slew the people that was therein, and beat down the city, and sowed it with salt. "

46 (KAT) Keď sa to dozvedeli obyvatelia sichemskej veže, utiahli sa do hradieb chrámu Bála zmluvy.
46 (VUL) Quod cum audissent, qui habitabant in turre Sichimorum, ingressi sunt cryptam fani Elberith (id est dei Foederis).
46 (UKJV) And when all the men of the tower of Shechem heard that, they entered into an hold of the house of the god Berith.

47 (KAT) Keď Abimelechovi oznámili, že sa tam zhromaždili všetci obyvatelia sichemskej veže,
47 (VUL) Abimelech quoque audiens omnes viros turris Sichimorum pariter conglobatos,
47 (UKJV) And it was told Abimelech, that all the men of the tower of Shechem were gathered together.

48 (KAT) Abimelech vystúpil so všetkými svojimi ľuďmi na vrch Selmon. Tam vzal do ruky sekeru, uťal zo stromu vetvu, zdvihol ju, položil si ju na plecia a povedal svojim ľuďom: „Čo ste videli robiť mňa, to rýchle robte aj vy za mnou!“
48 (VUL) ascendit in montem Selmon cum omni populo suo et, arrepta securi, praecidit arboris ramum impositumque ferens umero dixit ad socios: “ Quod me viditis facere, cito facite ”.
48 (UKJV) "And Abimelech got him up to mount Zalmon, he and all the people that were with him; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bough from the trees, and took it, and laid it on his shoulder, and said unto the people that were with him, What all of you have seen me do, make haste, and do as I have done. "

49 (KAT) A všetok ľud - každý si nasekal haluzia, potom išli za Abimelechom, nahádzali ho na hradby a podpálili ním hradby. Tak zahynuli všetci obyvatelia sichemskej veže, asi tisíc mužov a žien.
49 (VUL) Igitur certatim ramos de arboribus praecidentes sequebantur ducem, quos circumdantes cryptae succenderunt; atque ita factum est, ut fumo et igne omnes homines necarentur, circiter mille viri pariter ac mulieres, habitatores turris Sichem.
49 (UKJV) "And all the people likewise cut down every man his bough, and followed Abimelech, and put them to the hold, and set the hold on fire upon them; so that all the men of the tower of Shechem died also, about a thousand men and women. "

50 (KAT) Potom Abimelech tiahol do Tebes. Obľahol Tebes a zaujal ho.
50 (VUL) Abimelech autem inde proficiscens venit ad oppidum Thebes, quod obsidebat et cepit.
50 (UKJV) Then went Abimelech to Thebez, and encamped against Thebez, and took it.

51 (KAT) Uprostred mesta bola pevná veža, do ktorej utiekli všetci mužovia a ženy, vôbec všetci obyvatelia mesta. Zavreli za sebou a vystúpili na strechu veže.
51 (VUL) Erat autem turris fortis in media civitate, ad quam confugerant viri simul ac mulieres et omnes cives civitatis, clausa firmissime ianua, et super turris tectum stantes per propugnacula.
51 (UKJV) But there was a strong tower within the city, and thither fled all the men and women, and all they of the city, and shut it to them, and got them up to the top of the tower.

52 (KAT) Abimelech prenikol až k veži, lebo ju chcel dobyť. A keď sa dostal až ku vchodu do veže a chcel rozložiť oheň,
52 (VUL) Accedensque Abimelech iuxta turrim pugnabat fortiter et appropinquans ostio ignem supponere nitebatur.
52 (UKJV) And Abimelech came unto the tower, and fought against it, and went hard unto the door of the tower to burn it with fire.

53 (KAT) nejaká žena zhodila Abimelechovi na hlavu vrchný mlynský kameň a prerazila mu lebku.
53 (VUL) Et ecce una mulier superiorem molam desuper iaciens illisit capiti Abimelech et confregit cerebrum eius.
53 (UKJV) And a certain woman cast a piece of a millstone upon Abimelech's head, and all to brake his skull.

54 (KAT) Rýchle zavolal na svojho sluhu, ktorý mu nosil zbraň, a povedal mu: „Vytas svoj meč a zabi ma! Ináč by sa o mne hovorilo, že ma zabila žena.“ Sluha ho teda prebodol a zomrel.
54 (VUL) Qui vocavit cito armigerum suum et ait ad eum: “ Evagina gladium tuum et percute me, ne forte dicatur quod a femina interfectus sim ”. Qui transfodit eum.
54 (UKJV) Then he called hastily unto the young man his armour bearer, and said unto him, Draw your sword, and slay me, that men say not of me, A women slew him. And his young man thrust him through, and he died.

55 (KAT) Keď Izraeliti videli, že Abimelech je mŕtvy, vrátili sa všetci domov.
55 (VUL) Illoque mortuo, omnes viri Israel hoc videntes reversi sunt in sedes suas.
55 (UKJV) And when the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, they departed every man unto his place.
