Brojevi 32
1 Rubenovci i Gadovci imađahu mnogo, vrlo mnogo blaga. Opaze, međutim, da je zemlja jazerska i zemlja gileadska pogodna za stočarstvo.
And the children of Ruben and the children of Gad had a multitude of cattle, very great; and they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Galaad; and the place was a place for cattle:
2 Zato Gadovci i Rubenovci dođu k Mojsiju, svećeniku Eleazaru i glavarima zajednice pa reknu:
and the children of Ruben and the children of Gad came, and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the princes of the congregation, saying,
3 “Atarot, Dibon, Jazer, Nimra, Hešbon, Eleale, Sebam, Nebo i Beon -
Ataroth, and Daebon, and Jazer, and Namra, and Esebon, and Eleale, and Sebama, and Nabau, and Baean,
4 kraj što ga Jahve osvoji pred izraelskom zajednicom - kraj je pogodan za stočarstvo; a sluge tvoje bave se stočarstvom.
the land which the Lord has delivered up before the children of Israel, is pasture land, and thy servants have cattle.
5 Ako smo stekli blagonaklonost u tvojim očima”, nastave, “neka se ovaj kraj dade u posjed tvojim slugama. Ne šalji nas preko Jordana!”
And they said, If we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given to thy servants for a possession, and do not cause us to pass over Jordan.
6 Mojsije odgovori Gadovcima i Rubenovcima: “Zar da vaša braća idu u rat, a vi da ostanete ovdje?
And Moses said to the sons of Gad and the sons of Ruben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?
7 Zašto odvraćate srca Izraelaca da ne prijeđu u zemlju koju im je Jahve predao?
And why do ye pervert the minds of the children of Israel, that they should not cross over into the land, which the Lord gives them?
8 Tako su učinili i vaši očevi kad sam ih poslao iz Kadeš Barnee da izvide zemlju.
Did not your fathers thus, when I sent them from Cades Barne to spy out 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.
And they went up to the valley of the cluster, and spied the land, and turned aside the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land, which the Lord gave them.
10 Onog dana Jahve planu gnjevom. Zakle se i reče:
And the Lord was very angry in that day, and sware, 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!'
Surely these men who came up out of Egypt from twenty years old and upward, who know good and evil, shall not see the land which I sware [to give] to Abraam and Isaac and Jacob, for they have not closely followed after me:
12 Jahvu su jedino vjerno slijedili Kenižanin Kaleb, sin Jefuneov, i sin Nunov Jošua.
save Caleb the son of Jephonne, who was set apart, and Joshua the son of Naue, for they closely followed after the Lord.
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.
And the Lord was very angry with Israel; and for forty years he caused them to wander in the wilderness, until all the generation which did evil in the sight of the Lord was extinct.
14 A sad vi - grešni naraštaj - ustajete namjesto svojih očeva da još povećate srdžbu Jahvinu na Izraela.
Behold, ye are risen up in the room of your fathers, a combination of sinful men, to increase yet farther the fierce wrath 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 ye will turn away from him to desert him yet once more in the wilderness, and ye will sin against this whole congregation.
16 Onda se oni primaknu k njemu i reknu: “Mi bismo ovdje podigli torove za svoje blago i gradove za svoju nejačad,
And they came to him, and said, We will build here folds for our cattle, and cities for our possessions;
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.
and we will arm ourselves and go as an advanced guard before the children of Israel, until we shall have brought them into their place; and our possessions shall remain in walled cities because of 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 houses till the children of Israel shall have been distributed, each to his own 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.”
And we will not any longer inherit with them from the other side of Jordan and onwards, because we have our full inheritance on the side beyond Jordan eastward.
20 Mojsije im reče: “Ako tako uradite, ako pođete pred Jahvom u boj;
And Moses said to them, If ye will do according to these words, if ye 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 every one of you will pass over Jordan fully armed before the Lord, until his enemy be destroyed from before his face,
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.
and the land shall be subdued before the Lord, then afterwards ye shall return, and be guiltless before the Lord, and as regards Israel; and this land shall be to you for 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 ye will not do so, ye will sin against the Lord; and ye shall know your sin, when afflictions shall come upon you.
24 Sazidajte, dakle, gradove za svoju nejačad i torove za svoju stoku, ali izvršite što ste obećali.”
And ye shall build for yourselves cities for your store, and folds for your cattle; and ye shall do that which proceeds out of your mouth.
25 Gadovci i Rubenovci odgovore Mojsiju: “Tvoje će sluge učiniti kako gospodar naš nalaže.
And the sons of Ruben and the sons of Gad spoke to Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as our lord commands.
26 Naša nejačad, naše žene, naša stoka i sve naše blago neka ostanu ondje u gileadskim gradovima,
Our store, and our wives, and all our cattle shall be in the cities of Galaad.
27 a tvoje sluge, svi koji su za boj sposobni, poći će pred Jahvom u boj, kako naš gospodar nalaže.”
But thy servants will go over all armed and set in order before the Lord to battle, as [our] lord says.
28 Tada za njih Mojsije izda nalog svećeniku Eleazaru, Nunovu sinu Jošui i glavarima obitelji izraelskih plemena.
And Moses appointed to them [for judges] Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Naue, and the chiefs of the families 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 sons of Ruben and the sons of Gad will pass over Jordan with you, every one armed for war before the Lord, and ye shall subdue the land before you, then ye shall give to them the land of Galaad for a possession.
30 Ali ako ne prijeđu naoružani s vama, neka dobiju baštinu među vama u zemlji kanaanskoj.”
But if they will not pass over armed with you to war before the Lord, then shall ye cause to pass over their possessions and their wives and their cattle before you into the land of Chanaan, and they shall inherit with you in the land of Chanaan.
31 Nato odgovore Gadovci i Rubenovci: “Što je god Jahve rekao tvojim slugama, to ćemo učiniti.
And the sons of Ruben and the sons of Gad answered, saying, Whatsoever the Lord says to his servants, that will we do.
32 Mi ćemo naoružani prijeći pred Jahvom u zemlju kanaansku, ali neka nam bude posjed naše baštine s ove strane Jordana.”
We will go over armed before the Lord into the land of Chanaan, and ye shall give us our inheritance beyond 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.
And Moses gave to them, even to the sons of Gad and the sons of Ruben, and to the half tribe of Manasse of the sons of Joseph, the kingdom of Seon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Basan, the land and its cities with its coasts, the cities of the land round about.
34 Gadovci sagrade: Dibon, Atarot i Aroer,
And the sons of Gad built Daebon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
35 Atrot Šofan, Jazer, Jogbohu,
and Sophar, and Jazer, and they set them up,
36 Bet Nimru i Bet Haran, utvrđene gradove i torove za stada.
and Namram, and Baetharan, strong cities, and folds for sheep.
37 Rubenovci sagrade: Hešbon, Eleale, Kirjatajim,
And the sons of Ruben built Esebon, and Eleale, and Kariatham,
38 Nebo, Baal Meon - nazivi su izmijenjeni - i Šibmu. Oni prozovu svojim imenima gradove koje su oni podigli.
and Beelmeon, surrounded [with walls], and Sebama; and they called the names of the cities which they built, after their own names.
39 Sinovi Makira, sina Manašeova, odu u Gilead, osvoje ga i protjeraju Amorejce koji bijahu ondje.
And a son of Machir the son of Manasse went to Galaad, and took it, and destroyed the Amorite who dwelt in it.
40 Mojsije preda Gilead Manašeovu sinu Makiru, i on se u njemu nastani.
And Moses gave Galaad to Machir the son of Manasse, and he dwelt there.
41 A Manašeov sin Jair ode te zauzme njihova sela pa ih prozva “Jairova sela”.
And Jair the [son] of Manasse went and took their villages, and called them the villages of Jair.
42 Potom ode Nobah i zauzme Kenat i njegova područja te ga nazove svojim imenom “Nobah”.
And Nabau went and took Caath and her villages, and called them Naboth after his name.
