< Jošua 11 >

1 Kad je sve to čuo Jabin, kralj od Hasora, obavijesti Jobaba, kralja od Madona, i kralja od Šimrona, i kralja od Akšafa,
When Jabin king of Hazor heard of it, he sent to Jobab king of Madon, to the king of Shimron, to the king of Achshaph,
2 i kraljeve na sjeveru, u Gorju, i u Arabi južno od Kinereta, i u Šefeli, i na uzvišicama Dora prema moru;
and to the kings who were on the north, in the hill country, in the Arabah south of Chinneroth, in the lowland, and in the heights of Dor on the west,
3 Kanaance na istoku i zapadu, Amorejce, Hetite, Perižane i Jebusejce u planinama, Hivijce pod Hermonom u zemlji Mispi.
to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Jebusite in the hill country, and the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpah.
4 Svi oni izađu sa svim svojim četama, s mnoštvom što ga bijaše kao pijeska na obali morskoj i s mnogim konjima i kolima.
They went out, they and all their armies with them, many people, even as the sand that is on the seashore in multitude, with very many horses and chariots.
5 Udruže se, dakle, svi ti kraljevi i utabore se zajedno na vodama Meroma da se bore protiv Izraela.
All these kings met together; and they came and encamped together at the waters of Merom, to fight with Israel.
6 Tada Jahve reče Jošui: “Ne boj se njih, jer ću sutra u ovo doba učiniti te će svi biti pobijeni pred Izraelom; konje njihove osakati, a bojna im kola ognjem spali.”
The LORD said to Joshua, “Don’t be afraid because of them; for tomorrow at this time, I will deliver them up all slain before Israel. You shall hamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire.”
7 Jošua povede na njih sve svoje ratnike, iznenada ih napade na vodama Meroma i udari na njih.
So Joshua came suddenly, with all the warriors, against them by the waters of Merom, and attacked them.
8 I Jahve ih dade u ruke Izraelcima te ih oni pobiše i protjeraše sve do Velikog Sidona i do Misrefot Majima i do ravnice Mispe na istoku; i poraziše ih tako te nitko ne preživje.
The LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, and they struck them, and chased them to great Sidon, and to Misrephoth Maim, and to the valley of Mizpah eastward. They struck them until they left them no one remaining.
9 Jošua učini kako mu je Jahve zapovjedio: konje im osakati, a kola im ognjem spali.
Joshua did to them as the LORD told him. He hamstrung their horses and burnt their chariots with fire.
10 U to se vrijeme vrati Jošua i zauze Hasor, a njegova kralja pogubi mačem. Hasor je nekoć bio glavni grad svima tim kraljevstvima.
Joshua turned back at that time, and took Hazor, and struck its king with the sword; for Hazor used to be the head of all those kingdoms.
11 Pobili su sve oštricom mača, izvršujući “herem”, kletvu. Ne ostade ništa živo, a Hasor spališe ognjem.
They struck all the souls who were in it with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them. There was no one left who breathed. He burnt Hazor with fire.
12 Sve gradove onih kraljeva pokori Jošua i pobi kraljeve oštricom mača, izvršujući “herem”, kletvu, kao što je bio zapovjedio Mojsije, sluga Jahvin.
Joshua captured all the cities of those kings, with their kings, and he struck them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the LORD commanded.
13 Od ostalih gradova koji se dizahu na svojim brežuljcima Izraelci nisu spalili ni jednoga, osim Hasora, koji spali Jošua.
But as for the cities that stood on their mounds, Israel burnt none of them, except Hazor only. Joshua burnt that.
14 Sav plijen iz tih gradova i stoku razdijeliše sinovi Izraelovi među sobom, a sve ljude pobiše oštricom mača, istrijebiše ih i ni žive duše ne ostade.
The children of Israel took all the plunder of these cities, with the livestock, as plunder for themselves; but every man they struck with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them. They didn’t leave any who breathed.
15 Sve što Jahve bijaše zapovjedio svome sluzi Mojsiju, zapovjedio je Mojsije Jošui, a Jošua sve izvršio, ne izostavivši ništa od svega što Jahve bijaše zapovjedio Mojsiju.
As the LORD commanded Moses his servant, so Moses commanded Joshua. Joshua did so. He left nothing undone of all that the LORD commanded Moses.
16 Tako je Jošua zauzeo svu zemlju: Gorje, sav Negeb i svu zemlju Gošen, Šefelu, Arabu, Izraelsko gorje i njegove brežuljke,
So Joshua captured all that land, the hill country, all the South, all the land of Goshen, the lowland, the Arabah, the hill country of Israel, and the lowland of the same,
17 od gore Halaka, koja se diže prema Seiru, pa do Baal Gada, u ravnici libanonskoj pod gorom Hermonom; zarobio je sve njihove kraljeve, pobio ih i pogubio.
from Mount Halak, that goes up to Seir, even to Baal Gad in the valley of Lebanon under Mount Hermon. He took all their kings, struck them, and put them to death.
18 Dugo je vremena ratovao Jošua s tim kraljevima.
Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.
19 Nije bilo ni jednoga grada koji je sklopio mir s sinovima Izraelovim, osim Hivijaca, koji su živjeli u Gibeonu: sve ih zauzeše ratom.
There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, except the Hivites, the inhabitants of Gibeon. They took all in battle.
20 Jahve im bijaše otvrdnuo srca te su izašli u boj protiv Izraela i pali pod “herem”, kletvu bez smilovanja, da budu istrijebljeni, kako je to Jahve bio zapovjedio Mojsiju.
For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts, to come against Israel in battle, that he might utterly destroy them, that they might have no favour, but that he might destroy them, as the LORD commanded Moses.
21 U ono vrijeme dođe Jošua i istrijebi Anakovce iz Gorja, iz Hebrona, iz Debira, iz Anaba, iz svega gorja Judina i iz svega gorja Izraelova: predade ih “heremu”, uništenju, njih i sve njihove gradove.
Joshua came at that time, and cut off the Anakim from the hill country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the hill country of Judah, and from all the hill country of Israel. Joshua utterly destroyed them with their cities.
22 Tako ne ostade nijedan Anakovac u svoj zemlji sinova Izraelovih, osim u Gazi, u Gatu i Ašdodu.
There were none of the Anakim left in the land of the children of Israel. Only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, did some remain.
23 Jošua zauze svu zemlju, kao što je Jahve bio rekao Mojsiju, i dade je u baštinu Izraelu podijelivši je po plemenima. I konačno zemlja počinu od rata.
So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the LORD spoke to Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. Then the land had rest from war.
