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 people of Reuben and the people of Gad had a very great multitude of livestock: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that look, the place was a place for livestock;

2 Zato Gadovci i Rubenovci dođu k Mojsiju, svećeniku Eleazaru i glavarima zajednice pa reknu:

the people of Gad and the people of Reuben came and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the leaders of the congregation, saying,

3 “Atarot, Dibon, Jazer, Nimra, Hešbon, Eleale, Sebam, Nebo i Beon -

"Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Sibmah, and Nebo, and Beon,

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 struck before the congregation of Israel, is a land 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!”

They said, "If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants for a possession; do not bring us over the Jordan."

6 Mojsije odgovori Gadovcima i Rubenovcima: “Zar da vaša braća idu u rat, a vi da ostanete ovdje?

Moses said to the people of Gad, and to the people of Reuben, "Shall your brothers go to the war, and shall you sit here?

7 Zašto odvraćate srca Izraelaca da ne prijeđu u zemlju koju im je Jahve predao?

Why do you discourage the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD has given them?

8 Tako su učinili i vaši očevi kad sam ih poslao iz Kadeš Barnee da izvide zemlju.

Your fathers did so when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to see 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 they went up to the Valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them.

10 Onog dana Jahve planu gnjevom. Zakle se i reče:

The LORD's anger was kindled in that day, and he swore, 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 none of the men who came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:

12 Jahvu su jedino vjerno slijedili Kenižanin Kaleb, sin Jefuneov, i sin Nunov Jošua.

except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun; because they have followed the LORD completely.'

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 LORD's anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander back and forth in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, who had done evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed.

14 A sad vi - grešni naraštaj - ustajete namjesto svojih očeva da još povećate srdžbu Jahvinu na Izraela.

"Look, you have risen up in your fathers' place, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward 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 after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and you will destroy all this people."

16 Onda se oni primaknu k njemu i reknu: “Mi bismo ovdje podigli torove za svoje blago i gradove za svoju nejačad,

They came near to him, and said, "We will 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 ourselves will be ready armed to go before the children of Israel, until we have brought them to their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fortified 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, until the children of Israel have inherited every man 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.”

For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan, and forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side of the Jordan eastward."

20 Mojsije im reče: “Ako tako uradite, ako pođete pred Jahvom u boj;

Moses said to them, "If you will do this thing, if you will arm yourselves to go before the LORD to the war,

21 ako vi svi naoružani prijeđete Jordan pred Jahvom dok on ne rastjera ispred sebe svoje neprijatelje:

and every armed man of you will pass over the Jordan before the LORD, until he has driven out his enemies from 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.

and the land is subdued before the LORD; then afterward you shall return, and be guiltless towards the LORD, and towards 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 you will not do so, look, you have sinned against the LORD; and be sure 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 sheep; and do that which has proceeded out of your mouth."

25 Gadovci i Rubenovci odgovore Mojsiju: “Tvoje će sluge učiniti kako gospodar naš nalaže.

The people of Gad and the people of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, "Your servants will do as my lord commands.

26 Naša nejačad, naše žene, naša stoka i sve naše blago neka ostanu ondje u gileadskim gradovima,

Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our livestock, shall be there 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 will pass over, every man who is armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord says."

28 Tada za njih Mojsije izda nalog svećeniku Eleazaru, Nunovu sinu Jošui i glavarima obitelji izraelskih plemena.

So Moses commanded concerning them to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the ancestral houses of the tribes of the children 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.

Moses said to them, "If the people of Gad and the people of Reuben will pass with you over the Jordan, every man who is armed to battle before the LORD, and the land is subdued before you; then you are to give them the land of Gilead 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 with you armed to battle before the LORD, then you are to bring over their children and their wives and their flocks before you into the land of Canaan, and they are to have possessions among you in the land of Canaan."

31 Nato odgovore Gadovci i Rubenovci: “Što je god Jahve rekao tvojim slugama, to ćemo učiniti.

The people of Gad and the people of Reuben answered, saying, "As the LORD has said to your servants, so 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 pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance shall remain with us beyond 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.

Moses gave to them, even to the people of Gad, and to the people of Reuben, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, according to its cities and borders, even the cities of the surrounding land.

34 Gadovci sagrade: Dibon, Atarot i Aroer,

The people of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,

35 Atrot Šofan, Jazer, Jogbohu,

and Atrothshophan, and Jazer, and Jogbehah,

36 Bet Nimru i Bet Haran, utvrđene gradove i torove za stada.

and Beth Nimrah, and Beth Haran: fortified cities, and folds for sheep.

37 Rubenovci sagrade: Hešbon, Eleale, Kirjatajim,

The people of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kiriathaim,

38 Nebo, Baal Meon - nazivi su izmijenjeni - i Šibmu. Oni prozovu svojim imenima gradove koje su oni podigli.

and Nebo, and Baal Meon, (their names being changed), and Sibmah: and they gave other names to the cities which they built.

39 Sinovi Makira, sina Manašeova, odu u Gilead, osvoje ga i protjeraju Amorejce koji bijahu ondje.

The descendants of Makir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorites who were in it.

40 Mojsije preda Gilead Manašeovu sinu Makiru, i on se u njemu nastani.

Moses gave Gilead to Makir the son of Manasseh; and he lived in it.

41 A Manašeov sin Jair ode te zauzme njihova sela pa ih prozva “Jairova sela”.

Jair the son of Manasseh went and took its towns, and called them Havvoth Jair.

42 Potom ode Nobah i zauzme Kenat i njegova područja te ga nazove svojim imenom “Nobah”.

Nobah went and took Kenath, and its villages, and called it Nobah, after his own name.
