< Jošua 13 >

1 Kad je Jošua ostario i odmakao u svojim godinama, reče mu Jahve: “Već si star i vremešan, a ostalo je mnogo zemlje da se osvoji.
When Joshua was very old, Yahweh said to him, “Joshua, you are now an old man, but there is still a lot of land [for your army] to capture.
2 Evo područja što još preostaju: sve pokrajine filistejske i sva zemlja gešurska;
Here is a list of the land that remains: The Geshur region and all the area where the Philistia people-group live;
3 od Šihora, što je pred Egiptom, sve do granice Ekrona na sjeveru, a računa se kao područje Kanaanaca; pet kneževina filistejskih: Gaza, Ašdod, Aškelon, Git i Ekron; zatim Avijci
the area where the Canaan people-group live, from the Shihor River [in the south] at the [eastern] border of Egypt, to Ekron [city] in the north; the rulers of the five [cities] of Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron; the area where the Avva people-group live,
4 na jugu. Sva zemlja kanaanska od Are koja pripada Sidoncima, pa do Afeka i do međe amorejske;
which is south of the area where the Canaan people-group live;
5 onda zemlja Giblijaca i sav Libanon prema istoku, od Baal Gada u podnožju gore Hermona do Lebo Hamata.
the area where the Gebal people-group live; and all the Lebanon area east of Baal-Gad [city] at the bottom of Hermon Mountain, as far as Lebo-Hamath.
6 Sve stanovnike gorja, od Libanona do Misrefota na zapadu - sve Sidonce otjerat ću ispred sinova Izraelovih. Samo razdijeli Izraelu zemlju u baštinu, kao što sam ti zapovjedio.
All the people of the Sidon people-group live in the hilly area from Lebanon to Misrephoth-Maim, but I will force them to leave that area before you Israelis arrive there. Be sure to give that area to the Israeli people when you divide the land among them, like I told you to do.
7 Razdijeli, dakle, tu zemlju u baštinu među devet plemena i polovinu plemena Manašeova.”
Divide all that land among the nine Israeli tribes and half of the tribe of Manasseh, [the tribes that do not have land on the east side of the Jordan River].”
8 Druga polovina plemena Manašeova, a s njome pleme Rubenovo i Gadovo, primiše svoju baštinu koju im je predao Mojsije preko Jordana, na istoku. Mojsije, sluga Jahvin, dodijelio im je ovako:
Half of the tribe of Manasseh and the tribes of Reuben and Gad had already been told what land they would receive, because Moses, the man who served Yahweh [well], had already assigned to them the land on the east side of the Jordan [River].
9 od Aroera, koji se nalazi uz obalu potoka Arnona, i od grada usred doline, svu visoravan od Medebe do Dibona;
Their land extended from Aroer [town] at the Arnon River gorge to the town in the middle of the gorge. It included the whole plain from Medeba [town south] to Dibon [town].
10 sve gradove Sihona, kralja amorejskoga, koji je vladao u Hešbonu, sve do međe sinova Amonovih;
All the towns ruled by King Sihon were in that area. The land extended to where the Ammon people-group lived.
11 i Gilead, i krajinu gešursku i maakansku sa svom gorom Hermonom, i sav Bašan do Salke;
The Gilead area was also there, and the regions where the people of the Geshur and Maacah people-groups lived, and all of Hermon Mountain and all the Bashan region [south] to Salecah.
12 a u Bašanu sve kraljevstvo Oga, koji je vladao u Aštarotu i Edreju i bio posljednji potomak Refaima. Mojsije ih je pobijedio i protjerao.
All the land ruled by Og, the king who ruled the Bashan [region], was in that land. Og was one of the last descendants of Repha; previously he had ruled in Ashtaroth and Edrei [cities], but [the armies of] Moses had defeated their armies and had taken their land from them.
13 Ali sinovi Izraelovi nisu protjerali Gešurce i Maakance, pa tako ostadoše Gešurci i Maakanci usred Izraela sve do današnjega dana.
But the Israelis did not force the people of the Geshur and Maacah [people-groups] to leave their land, so they still live among the Israeli people.
14 Samo plemenu Levijevu ne dade baštine: Jahve, Bog Izraelov, njegova je baština, kao što je rekao.
The tribe of Levi was the only tribe that did not get any land. Instead, just like Yahweh promised, they continued to receive [food from] the sacrifices that were given to Yahweh, the God whom the Israelis [worship], the sacrifices that were burned [on the sacred altar].
15 Mojsije dade plemenu sinova Rubenovih dijelove po njihovim porodicama.
Moses had allotted land to each clan in the tribe of Reuben.
16 Primili su zemlju od Aroera, koji leži uz obalu potoka Arnona, i od grada koji je u sredini doline i svu visoravan kod Medebe;
Their land extended from Aroer [town] near the Arnon River gorge to Medeba [town]. That included all of the plain [that is near Medeba] and the town in the middle of the gorge.
17 Hešbon sa svim njegovim gradovima koji leže na visoravni: Dibon, Bamot Baal, Bet Baal Meon;
It also included Heshbon [city] and all the nearby towns on the plain—Dibon, Bamioth-Baal, Beth-Baal-Meon,
18 Jahas, Kedemot, Mefaat;
Jahaz, Kedemoth, Mephaath,
19 Kirjatajim, Sibmu i Seret Hašahar na gori iznad doline;
Kiriathaim, Sibmah, Zereth-Shahar on the hill overlooking the valley,
20 Bet Peor, Ašdot Hapisgu, Bet Haješimot;
Beth-Peor, the hills in the Pisgah area, and Beth-Jeshimoth.
21 sve gradove na visoravni i sve kraljevstvo Sihona, amorejskog kralja, koji je vladao u Hešbonu. Mojsije ga je pobijedio kao i knezove midjanske: Avija, Rekema, Sura, Hura, Reba, podanike Sihonove, koji su živjeli u toj zemlji;
That land included all the towns on the plain and all the area that King Sihon had previously ruled. But [the army of] Moses had defeated him and the rulers of the Midian people-group: Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba. The armies of all those rulers fought battles along with the army of Sihon, and they lived in that country.
22 i vrača Bileama, sina Beorova, ubili su sinovi Izraelovi oštricom mača s ostalim žrtvama.
The Israeli army killed many people during those battles, including Balaam, [the prophet] from Beor, who tried to use magic to predict/tell what would happen in the future.
23 Međa sinova Rubenovih bijaše Jordan. To je bila baština sinova Rubenovih po njihovim porodicama: gradovi i sela njihova.
The [western] boundary of the land that was allotted to the clans of the tribe of Reuben was the Jordan [River].
24 Onda dade Mojsije plemenu Gadovu, sinovima Gadovim, dijelove po porodicama njihovim.
Moses also allotted some land to each clan in the tribe of Gad.
25 Primili su u posjed: Jazer i sve gradove gileadske, polovinu zemlje sinova Amonovih sve do Aroera, nasuprot Rabi,
Their land included the Jazer [area] and all the towns of the Gilead [area]; half of the land where the Ammon people-group lived, as far as Aroer [town which is] near Rabbah [town];
26 i od Hešbona do Ramat Hamispe i Betonima, i od Mahanajima do pokrajine Lo-Debar;
the area from Heshbon [city] to Ramath-Mizpah and Betonim [towns; the area] from Mahanaim [town] to the Debir region;
27 a u dolini: Bet Haram, Bet Nimru, Sukot i Safon, to jest ostatak kraljevstva Sihona, kralja hešbonskoga; Jordan s obalom sve do kraja Kineretskoga mora, na istočnoj strani Jordana.
Beth-Haram, Beth-Nimrah, Succoth, and Zaphon [cities] in the valley; and the other area that King Sihon had ruled on the east side of the Jordan River. That area extended [north] to the southern end of Galilee Lake.
28 To je baština sinova Gadovih, po njihovim porodicama, gradovi i sela njihova.
All this land, including the towns and villages, was allotted to the tribe of Gad.
29 Mojsije je dao dio polovini plemena Manašeova po njegovim porodicama.
Moses also had allotted some of the land [on the east side of the Jordan River] to half of the tribe of Manasseh.
30 Dobili su u posjed zemlju od Mahanajima, sav Bašan, sve kraljevstvo Oga, kralja bašanskoga, i sva Sela Jairova što su u Bašanu - šezdeset gradova.
Their land extended [north] from Mahanaim [city]. It included all the Bashan region, all the land that King Og had ruled, and all the towns in the Jair area in Bashan. Altogether that area included 60 towns.
31 A polovina Gileada, Aštarot i Edrej, gradovi kraljevstva Ogova u Bašanu, pripali su sinovima Makira, sina Manašeova, i to polovini sinova Makirovih po njihovim porodicama.
Their area also included half of the Gilead region, and the cities of Ashtaroth and Edrei where King Og had ruled. All that area was allotted to the clans descended from Manasseh’s son Makir.
32 Tako je Mojsije bio podijelio baštine na Moapskim poljanama, s druge strane Jordana, istočno od Jerihona.
Moses had allotted to those tribes the land that was on the plain of the Moab [region], on the east side of the Jordan [River], across from Jericho.
33 Levijevu plemenu ne dade Mojsije baštine: Jahve, Bog Izraelov, njihova je baština, kao što im je sam rekao.
But Moses did not allot any land to the tribe of Levi because Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis worship, promised that he himself would always provide for them.
