Jošua 1
1 Poslije smrti Mojsija, sluge Jahvina, reče Jahve Jošui, sinu Nunovu, pomoćniku Mojsijevu:
And it came to pass, after the death of Moses the servant of Yahweh, —that Yahweh spake unto Joshua son of Nun, the attendant of Moses, saying:
2 “Moj je sluga Mojsije umro; zato sada ustani, prijeđi preko toga Jordana, ti i sav taj narod, u zemlju koju dajem sinovima Izraelovim.
Moses my servant, is dead, —Now, therefore, arise, pass over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, into the land which I am giving unto them—unto the sons of Israel.
3 Svako mjesto na koje stupi vaša noga dajem vam, kao što obećah Mojsiju.
Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread, unto you, have I given it, —as I spake unto Moses.
4 Od pustinje i od Libanona pa do Velike rijeke, rijeke Eufrata, i sve do Velikog mora na sunčanom zapadu - sve će to biti vaše područje.
From the desert and this Lebanon, even unto the great river—the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea, toward the going in of the sun, shall be your boundary.
5 Nitko neće odoljeti pred tobom u sve dane tvog života; ja ću biti s tobom, kao što sam bio s Mojsijem, i nikada te neću napustiti niti ću te ostaviti.
No man shall stand before thee, all the days of thy life, —as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee, I will not fail thee, neither will I forsake thee.
6 Budi odvažan i hrabar jer ćeš ti uvesti narod ovaj da primi u baštinu zemlju za koju se zakleh ocima njihovim da ću im je dati.
Be firm and bold, —for, thou, shalt cause this people to inherit the land which I sware unto their fathers, —to give unto them.
7 Samo budi odvažan i hrabar da sve učiniš vjerno prema naredbama koje ti je dao Mojsije, sluga moj. Ne skreći od toga ni desno ni lijevo da bi ti bilo sretno sve što poduzmeš.
Only be very firm and bold, taking heed to do according to all the law which Moses my servant commanded thee, do not turn aside therefrom, to the right hand or to the left, —that thou mayest prosper, whithersoever thou goest.
8 Neka knjiga Zakona bude na ustima tvojim: razmišljaj o njoj danju i noću, kako bi vjerno držao sve što je u njoj napisano: samo ćeš tada biti sretan i uspjet ćeš u pothvatima. Nisam li ti zapovjedio:
This scroll of the law must not cease out of thy mouth, but thou must talk to thyself therein, day and night, that thou mayest take heed to do according to all that is written therein, —for, then, shalt thou make thy way prosperous, and, then, shalt thou have good success.
9 odvaži se i budi hrabar? Ne boj se i ne strahuj, jer kuda god pođeš, s tobom je Jahve, Bog tvoj.”
Have I not commanded thee, Be firm and bold, do not start nor be dismayed, —for, with thee, is Yahweh thy God, whithersoever thou goest?
10 Tada zapovijedi Jošua glavarima narodnim:
So then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying:
11 “Prođite kroz tabor i proglasite puku ovu zapovijed: 'Spremite sebi brašnenice jer ćete za tri dana prijeći preko Jordana da biste primili u posjed zemlju koju vam Jahve, Bog vaš, daje u baštinu.'”
Pass ye through the midst of the camp, and command the people, saying: Make ready for yourselves, provisions, —for, in three days more, are ye to pass over this Jordan, to go in and possess the land which Yahweh your God is giving you, to possess.
12 Zatim reče Jošua plemenu Rubenovu i Gadovu i polovini plemena Manašeova:
And, unto the Reubenites, and unto the Gadites, and unto the half tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying:
13 “Sjetite se onoga što vam je zapovjedio Mojsije, sluga Jahvin, kada vam je rekao: 'Jahve, Bog vaš, hoće da počinete i daje vam ovu zemlju.
Remember the word which Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, saying, —Yahweh your God, is granting you rest, and doth give you this land.
14 Vaše žene, djeca i stada mogu ostati u zemlji koju vam je dao Mojsije s onu stranu Jordana. Vi pak ratnici, za boj spremni, morate naoružani poći pred svojom braćom da im pomognete,
Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses hath given you over the Jordan, —but, ye, shall pass over, armed, before your brethren, —all ye mighty men of valour, and shall help them;
15 sve dok Jahve ne dade da počinu i vaša braća, kao i vi, i dok ne zaposjednu zemlju koju im daje Jahve, Bog vaš. Tada se možete vratiti u zemlju koja vam pripada i koju vam je dao Jahvin sluga Mojsije, na drugoj strani Jordana, prema istoku sunca.'”
until that Yahweh shall grant rest unto your brethren, as unto you, so shall, they also, possess the land which Yahweh your God giveth them, —then shall ye return unto the land of your possession, and possess it, which Moses the servant of Yahweh hath given you over the Jordan, towards the rising of the sun.
16 Oni odgovore Jošui: “Sve što nam zapovjediš, učinit ćemo, i kuda nas god pošalješ, poći ćemo.
Then responded they to Joshua, saying, —All that thou hast commanded us, will we do, and, whithersoever thou shalt send us, will we go:
17 Kao što smo slušali Mojsija, tako ćemo se pokoravati i tebi. Samo neka Jahve, Bog tvoj, bude s tobom kao što bijaše s Mojsijem!
As in every thing we hearkened unto Moses, so, will we hearken unto thee, —only let Yahweh thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses.
18 Tko se god usprotivi tvome glasu i ne posluša tvojih riječi u svemu što mu zapovjediš neka bude pogubljen. Samo ti budi odvažan i hrabar!”
Any man who shall rebel against thy bidding, and not hearken unto thy words in all that thou shalt command him, shall be put to death, —only be firm and bold.
