Jošua 4

1 Pošto je sav narod prešao preko Jordana, reče Jahve Jošui:

And when all the people were wholy gone ouer Iorden, (after the Lord had spoken vnto Ioshua, saying,

2 “Izaberite iz naroda dvanaest ljudi, od svakoga plemena po jednoga,

Take you twelue me out of the people, out of euery tribe a man,

3 i zapovjedite im: 'Dignite odavde, iz sredine Jordana - s mjesta gdje stoje noge svećenika - dvanaest kamenova koje ćete ponijeti sa sobom i položiti na mjestu gdje budete noćas prenoćili.'”

And command you them, saying, Take you hence out of the middes of Iorden, out of the place where the Priestes stoode in a readinesse, twelue stones, which ye shall take away with you, and leaue them in the lodging where you shall lodge this night)

4 Tada pozva Jošua dvanaest ljudi koje je bio izabrao između sinova Izraelovih, iz svakoga plemena po jednoga čovjeka,

Then Ioshua called the twelue men, whome he had prepared of the children of Israel, out of euery tribe a man,

5 i reče im: “Idite pred Kovčeg Jahve, Boga svoga, u sredinu Jordana, i neka svaki donese na svojim ramenima po jedan kamen prema broju plemena Izraelovih.

And Ioshua said vnto them, Go ouer before the Arke of the Lord your God, euen through the middes of Iorden, and take vp euery man of you a stone vpon his shoulder according vnto the nomber of the tribes of the children of Israel,

6 To će biti na spomen među vama. Kad vas jednoga dana budu pitala vaša djeca: 'Što vam znače ovi kamenovi?'

That this may bee a signe among you, that whe your children shall aske their fathers in time to come, saying, What meane you by these stones?

7 reći ćete im: 'Voda se Jordana razdijelila pred Kovčegom saveza Jahvina kad je prelazio preko Jordana.' I ovo će kamenje biti vječni spomen sinovima Izraelovim.”

Then ye may answere them, That the waters of Iorden were cut off before the Arke of the couenant of the Lord: for when it passed through Iorden, the waters of Iorden were cut off: therefore these stones are a memoriall vnto the children of Israel for euer.

8 Izraelci učine kako im je zapovjedio Jošua, uzmu dvanaest kamenova iz sredine Jordana, prema broju plemena Izraelovih, kako je Jahve naredio Jošui: prenesu ih do svoga noćišta i polože ondje.

Then ye children of Israel did euen so as Ioshua had commanded, and tooke vp twelue stones out of the mids of Iorden as ye Lord had said vnto Ioshua, according to the nomber of the tribes of the children of Israel, and caried them away with them vnto the lodging, and layd them down there.

9 Zatim Jošua postavi usred Jordana dvanaest kamenova na mjesta gdje su stajale noge svećenika koji su nosili Kovčeg saveza. Ondje stoje i danas.

And Ioshua set vp twelue stones in the middes of Iorden, in the place where the feete of the Priests, which bare the Arke of the couenant stood, and there haue they continued vnto this day.

10 Svećenici koji su nosili Kovčeg saveza stajali su usred Jordana, sve dok se nije izvršilo sve što je Jahve zapovjedio Jošui da narod izvrši, sasvim onako kao što Mojsije bijaše naredio Jošui. A narod je žurno prelazio.

So the Priests, which bare ye Arke, stoode in the middes of Iorden, vntill euery thing was finished that ye Lord had comanded Ioshua to say vnto the people, according to all that Moses charged Ioshua: then the people hasted and went ouer.

11 Pošto je sav narod prešao, prijeđu i svećenici s Kovčegom saveza Jahvina i krenu pred narodom.

When all the people were cleane passed ouer, the Arke of the Lord went ouer also, and the Priests before the people.

12 Tada sinovi Rubenovi i sinovi Gadovi i polovina plemena Manašeova u bojnoj opremi stanu na čelo sinova Izraelovih, kao što im bijaše zapovjedio Mojsije.

And the sonnes of Reuben, and the sonnes of Gad, and halfe the tribe of Manasseh went ouer before the children of Israel armed, as Moses had charged them.

13 Oko četrdeset tisuća naoružanih ljudi prešlo je pred Jahvom da se bori na Jerihonskim poljanama.

Euen fourty thousand prepared for warre, went before the Lord vnto battel, into ye plaine of Iericho.

14 Toga dana uzvisi Jahve Jošuu pred svim Izraelom i svi ga se bojahu, kao nekoć Mojsija, u sve dane njegova života.

That day the Lord magnified Ioshua in the sight of all Israel, and they feared him, as they feared Moses all dayes of his life.

15 Jahve reče Jošui:

And the Lord spake vnto Ioshua, saying,

16 “Zapovjedi svećenicima koji nose Kovčeg saveza neka izađu iz Jordana.”

Commande the Priests that beare ye Arke of the testimonie, to come vp out of Iorden.

17 Tada Jošua zapovjedi svećenicima: “Izađite iz Jordana!”

Ioshua therefore commanded the Priests, saying, Come ye vp out of Iorden.

18 A čim su svećenici koji su nosili Kovčeg saveza Jahvina izašli isred Jordana i stali nogama na suho, vrate se vode Jordana na svoje mjesto i poteku kao i prije preko svojih obala.

And when the Priests that bare the Arke of the couenant of ye Lord were come vp out of the middes of Iorden, and assoone as the soles of the Priests feete were set on the dry land, the waters of Iorde returned vnto their place, and flowed ouer all the bankes thereof, as they did before.

19 Narod je izašao iz Jordana desetog dana prvoga mjeseca. Tada se utaborio u Gilgalu, istočno od Jerihona.

So the people came vp out of Iorden the tenth day of the first moneth, and pitched in Gilgal, in the Eastside of Iericho.

20 A onih dvanaest kamenova što su ih uzeli sa sobom iz Jordana, Jošua postavi u Gilgalu.

Also the twelue stones, which they tooke out of Iorden, did Ioshua pitch in Gilgal.

21 Tada reče Izraelcima: “Ako potomci vaši upitaju jednoga dana svoje očeve: 'Što znači ovo kamenje?' -

And he spake vnto ye childre of Israel, saying, When your children shall aske their fathers in time to come, and say, What meane these stones?

22 vi ih poučite ovako: 'Izrael je ovdje po suhu prešao preko Jordana

Then ye shall shew your children, and say, Israel came ouer this Iorden on dry land:

23 jer je Jahve, Bog vaš, osušio pred vama vodu Jordana dok ne prijeđoste, kao što je učinio Jahve, Bog vaš, s Morem crvenim kad ga je osušio pred nama dok ne prijeđosmo.

For the Lord your God dryed vp ye waters of Iorden before you, vntill ye were gone ouer, as the Lord your God did the red Sea, which hee dryed vp before vs, till we were gone ouer,

24 A sve to, da bi znali svi narodi zemlje koliko je moćna ruka Jahvina, i vi sami da se svagda bojite Jahve, Boga svoga.'”

That all the people of the worlde may know that the hand of the Lord is mightie, that ye might feare the Lord your God continually.
