Brojevi 32
1 Rubenovci i Gadovci imađahu mnogo, vrlo mnogo blaga. Opaze, međutim, da je zemlja jazerska i zemlja gileadska pogodna za stočarstvo.
Now the Reubenites and Gadites, who had very large herds and flocks, surveyed the lands of Jazer and Gilead, and they saw that the region was suitable for livestock.
2 Zato Gadovci i Rubenovci dođu k Mojsiju, svećeniku Eleazaru i glavarima zajednice pa reknu:
So the Gadites and Reubenites came to Moses, Eleazar the priest, and the leaders of the congregation, and said,
3 “Atarot, Dibon, Jazer, Nimra, Hešbon, Eleale, Sebam, Nebo i Beon -
“Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon,
4 kraj što ga Jahve osvoji pred izraelskom zajednicom - kraj je pogodan za stočarstvo; a sluge tvoje bave se stočarstvom.
which the LORD conquered before the congregation of Israel, are suitable for livestock—and your servants have livestock.”
5 Ako smo stekli blagonaklonost u tvojim očima”, nastave, “neka se ovaj kraj dade u posjed tvojim slugama. Ne šalji nas preko Jordana!”
“If we have found favor in your sight,” they said, “let this land be given to your servants as a possession. Do not make us cross the Jordan.”
6 Mojsije odgovori Gadovcima i Rubenovcima: “Zar da vaša braća idu u rat, a vi da ostanete ovdje?
But Moses asked the Gadites and Reubenites, “Shall your brothers go to war while you sit here?
7 Zašto odvraćate srca Izraelaca da ne prijeđu u zemlju koju im je Jahve predao?
Why are you discouraging the Israelites from crossing into the land that the LORD has given them?
8 Tako su učinili i vaši očevi kad sam ih poslao iz Kadeš Barnee da izvide zemlju.
This is what your fathers did when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to inspect the land.
9 Popeli su se do Eškola i razgledali zemlju, ali su onda ubili srčanost u Izraelcima da ne odu u zemlju koju im je Jahve dao.
For when your fathers went up to the Valley of Eshcol and saw the land, they discouraged the Israelites from entering the land that the LORD had given them.
10 Onog dana Jahve planu gnjevom. Zakle se i reče:
So the anger of the LORD was kindled that day, and He swore an oath, saying,
11 'Ljudi što su izišli iz Egipta, kojima je dvadeset ili više godina, jer me nisu vjerno slijedili, nikad neće vidjeti zemlju što sam je pod zakletvom obećao Abrahamu, Izaku i Jakovu!'
‘Because they did not follow Me wholeheartedly, not one of the men twenty years of age or older who came out of Egypt will see the land that I swore to give Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—
12 Jahvu su jedino vjerno slijedili Kenižanin Kaleb, sin Jefuneov, i sin Nunov Jošua.
not one except Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua son of Nun—because they did follow the LORD wholeheartedly.’
13 Jahve je gnjevom planuo na Izraelce pa ih je pustinjom povlačio četrdeset godina, sve dok ne pomrije sav naraštaj što je u očima Jahvinim zlo postupio.
The anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until the whole generation who had done evil in His sight was gone.
14 A sad vi - grešni naraštaj - ustajete namjesto svojih očeva da još povećate srdžbu Jahvinu na Izraela.
Now behold, you, a brood of sinners, have risen up in place of your fathers to further stoke the burning anger of the LORD against Israel.
15 Ako se od njega odvratite, on će još produžiti vaš boravak u pustinji; tako ćete upropastiti sav taj narod.”
For if you turn away from following Him, He will once again leave this people in the wilderness, and you will be the cause of their destruction.”
16 Onda se oni primaknu k njemu i reknu: “Mi bismo ovdje podigli torove za svoje blago i gradove za svoju nejačad,
Then the Gadites and Reubenites approached Moses and said, “We want to build sheepfolds here for our livestock and cities for our little ones.
17 a sami ćemo pograbiti oružje i poći na čelu Izraelaca dok ih ne dovedemo na njihovo mjesto. Naša nejačad neka ostane - zbog stanovništva ove zemlje - u utvrđenim gradovima.
But we will arm ourselves and be ready to go ahead of the Israelites until we have brought them into their place. Meanwhile, our little ones will remain in the fortified cities for protection from the inhabitants of the land.
18 Mi se svojim kućama nećemo vraćati sve dok svaki Izraelac ne zaposjedne svoju baštinu.
We will not return to our homes until every Israelite has taken possession of his inheritance.
19 S njima nećemo dijeliti svoje posjede s onu stranu Jordana niti dalje, jer će nas zapasti naša baština s ovu stranu, na istok od Jordana.”
Yet we will not have an inheritance with them across the Jordan and beyond, because our inheritance has come to us on the east side of the Jordan.”
20 Mojsije im reče: “Ako tako uradite, ako pođete pred Jahvom u boj;
Moses replied, “If you will do this—if you will arm yourselves before the LORD for battle,
21 ako vi svi naoružani prijeđete Jordan pred Jahvom dok on ne rastjera ispred sebe svoje neprijatelje:
and if every one of your armed men crosses the Jordan before the LORD, until He has driven His enemies out before Him,
22 tada, kad zemlja bude pokorena Jahvi, vi ćete se moći vratiti. Tako ćete biti oslobođeni odgovornosti prema Jahvi i prema Izraelu, a ova će zemlja postati pred Jahvom vaše vlasništvo.
then when the land is subdued before the LORD, you may return and be free of obligation to the LORD and to Israel. And this land will belong to you as a possession before the LORD.
23 Ali ako tako ne uradite, sagriješit ćete protiv Jahve i znajte da će vas stići kazna za vaš grijeh.
But if you do not do this, you will certainly sin against the LORD—and be assured that your sin will find you out.
24 Sazidajte, dakle, gradove za svoju nejačad i torove za svoju stoku, ali izvršite što ste obećali.”
Build cities for your little ones and folds for your flocks, but do what you have promised.”
25 Gadovci i Rubenovci odgovore Mojsiju: “Tvoje će sluge učiniti kako gospodar naš nalaže.
The Gadites and Reubenites said to Moses, “Your servants will do just as our lord commands.
26 Naša nejačad, naše žene, naša stoka i sve naše blago neka ostanu ondje u gileadskim gradovima,
Our children, our wives, our livestock, and all our animals will remain here in the cities of Gilead.
27 a tvoje sluge, svi koji su za boj sposobni, poći će pred Jahvom u boj, kako naš gospodar nalaže.”
But your servants are equipped for war, and every man will cross over to the battle before the LORD, just as our lord says.”
28 Tada za njih Mojsije izda nalog svećeniku Eleazaru, Nunovu sinu Jošui i glavarima obitelji izraelskih plemena.
So Moses gave orders about them to Eleazar the priest, to Joshua son of Nun, and to the family leaders of the tribes of Israel.
29 I reče im Mojsije: “Ako Gadovci i Rubenovci, svi oni koji nose oružje, s vama prijeđu Jordan da se bore pred Jahvom i zemlja bude pokorena vama, onda im dajte gileadsku zemlju u vlasništvo.
And Moses said to them, “If the Gadites and Reubenites cross the Jordan with you, with every man armed for battle before the LORD, and the land is subdued before you, then you are to give them the land of Gilead as a possession.
30 Ali ako ne prijeđu naoružani s vama, neka dobiju baštinu među vama u zemlji kanaanskoj.”
But if they do not arm themselves and go across with you, then they must accept their possession among you in the land of Canaan.”
31 Nato odgovore Gadovci i Rubenovci: “Što je god Jahve rekao tvojim slugama, to ćemo učiniti.
The Gadites and Reubenites replied, “As the LORD has spoken to your servants, so we will do.
32 Mi ćemo naoružani prijeći pred Jahvom u zemlju kanaansku, ali neka nam bude posjed naše baštine s ove strane Jordana.”
We will cross over into the land of Canaan armed before the LORD, that we may have our inheritance on this side of the Jordan.”
33 I tako njima - Gadovcima, Rubenovcima i polovici plemena Manašea, sina Josipova - dadne kraljevstvo amorejskoga kralja Sihona i kraljevstvo bašanskoga kralja Oga, zemlju s gradovima u njihovim granicama, gradove okolne zemlje.
So Moses gave to the Gadites, to the Reubenites, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan—the land including its cities and the territory surrounding them.
34 Gadovci sagrade: Dibon, Atarot i Aroer,
And the Gadites built up Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,
35 Atrot Šofan, Jazer, Jogbohu,
Atroth-shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,
36 Bet Nimru i Bet Haran, utvrđene gradove i torove za stada.
Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran as fortified cities, and they built folds for their flocks.
37 Rubenovci sagrade: Hešbon, Eleale, Kirjatajim,
The Reubenites built up Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,
38 Nebo, Baal Meon - nazivi su izmijenjeni - i Šibmu. Oni prozovu svojim imenima gradove koje su oni podigli.
as well as Nebo and Baal-meon (whose names were changed), and Sibmah. And they renamed the cities they rebuilt.
39 Sinovi Makira, sina Manašeova, odu u Gilead, osvoje ga i protjeraju Amorejce koji bijahu ondje.
The descendants of Machir son of Manasseh went to Gilead, captured it, and drove out the Amorites who were there.
40 Mojsije preda Gilead Manašeovu sinu Makiru, i on se u njemu nastani.
So Moses gave Gilead to the clan of Machir son of Manasseh, and they settled there.
41 A Manašeov sin Jair ode te zauzme njihova sela pa ih prozva “Jairova sela”.
Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, went and captured their villages and called them Havvoth-jair.
42 Potom ode Nobah i zauzme Kenat i njegova područja te ga nazove svojim imenom “Nobah”.
And Nobah went and captured Kenath and its villages and called it Nobah, after his own name.
