Joshua 2
1 And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men as spies secretly, saying, Go, view the land, and Jericho. And they went and came into the house of a harlot whose name was Rahab, and lay there.
Nunov sin Józue je iz Šitíma na skrivaj poslal ogledovat dva moža, rekoč: »Pojdita, poglejta deželo, celo Jeriho.« Odšla sta ter prišla v hišo pocestnice, po imenu Rahába in tam prenočila.
2 And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, there came men in hither to-night of the children of Israel to search out the land.
Kralju Jerihe je bilo povedano, rekoč: »Glej, nocoj sta prišla sèm moža izmed Izraelovih otrok, da preiščeta deželo.«
3 And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying, Bring forth the men that are come to thee, that are entered into thy house; for they are come to search out all the land.
Kralj Jerihe je poslal k Rahábi, rekoč: »Privedi naprej moža, ki sta prišla k tebi, ki sta vstopila v tvojo hišo, kajti prišla sta, da bi preiskala vso deželo.«
4 And the woman took the two men, and hid them; and she said, Yea, the men came unto me, but I knew not whence they were:
Ženska je vzela dva moža ter ju skrila in rekla tako: »K meni sta prišla moža, toda nisem vedela od kod sta bila.
5 and it came to pass about the time of the shutting of the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out; whither the men went I know not: pursue after them quickly; for ye will overtake them.
Pripetilo se je okoli časa zapiranja velikih vrat, ko je bilo temno, da sta moža odšla ven. Kam sta moža odšla, ne vem. Hitro ju zasledujte, kajti dohiteli ju boste.«
6 But she had brought them up to the roof, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon the roof.
Toda ona ju je privedla gor na streho hiše in ju skrila s stebli lana, ki jih je razvrstila po strehi.
7 And the men pursued after them the way to the Jordan unto the fords: and as soon as they that pursued after them were gone out, they shut the gate.
Možje so ju zasledovali po poti k Jordanu, k prehodom in takoj, ko so tisti, ki so ju zasledovali, odšli ven, so zaprli velika vrata.
8 And before they were laid down, she came up unto them upon the roof;
Preden sta se ulegla, je prišla k njima na streho
9 and she said unto the men, I know that Jehovah hath given you the land, and that the fear of you is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land melt away before you.
in možema rekla: »Vem, da vam je Gospod dal to deželo in da je vaša strahota padla na nas in da vsi prebivalci dežele zaradi vas slabijo.
10 For we have heard how Jehovah dried up the water of the Red Sea before you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were beyond the Jordan, unto Sihon and to Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.
Kajti slišali smo, kako je Gospod za vas posušil vode Rdečega morja, ko ste prišli iz Egipta, in kaj ste storili dvema kraljema Amoréjcev, ki sta bila na drugi strani Jordana, Sihónu in Ogu, ki ste jih popolnoma uničili.
11 And as soon as we had heard it, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more spirit in any man, because of you: for Jehovah your God, he is God in heaven above, and on earth beneath.
Takoj, ko smo slišali te stvari, so se naša srca stopila niti tam zaradi vas ni ostalo nič več poguma v kateremkoli človeku, kajti Gospod, vaš Bog, on je Bog v nebesih zgoraj in na zemlji spodaj.
12 Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by Jehovah, since I have dealt kindly with you, that ye also will deal kindly with my father’s house, and give me a true token;
Zdaj torej, prosim vaju, prisezita mi pri Gospodu, ker sem vama izkazala prijaznost, da bosta tudi vidva izkazala prijaznost hiši mojega očeta in mi dala zanesljivo znamenje.
13 and that ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and will deliver our lives from death.
In da boste mojega očeta rešili živega in mojo mater, moje brate, moje sestre in vse, kar imajo in naša življenja osvobodili pred smrtjo.«
14 And the men said unto her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not this our business; and it shall be, when Jehovah giveth us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee.
Moža sta ji odgovorila: »Najina življenja za vaša, če ne izustiš te naše stvari. Zgodilo se bo, ko nam Gospod da deželo, da bomo s teboj postopali prijazno in zvesto.«
15 Then she let them down by a cord through the window: for her house was upon the side of the wall, and she dwelt upon the wall.
Potem ju je po vrvi spustila skozi okno, kajti njena hiša je bila na mestnem obzidju in prebivala je na obzidju.
16 And she said unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest the pursuers light upon you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned: and afterward may ye go your way.
Rekla jima je: »Spravita se do gore, da vaju ne bi srečali zasledovalci in tam se skrivajta tri dni, dokler se zasledovalci ne vrnejo in potem lahko gresta svojo pot.«
17 And the men said unto her, We will be guiltless of this thine oath which thou hast made us to swear.
Moža sta ji rekla: »Midva bova brez krivde glede te tvoje prisege, s katero si naju prisegla.
18 Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let us down by: and thou shalt gather unto thee into the house thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father’s household.
Glej, ko pridemo v deželo, boš to škrlatno vrv privezala na okno, skozi katero si naju spustila dol in domov k sebi boš privedla svojega očeta, svojo mater, svoje brate in vso družino svojega očeta.
19 And it shall be, that whosoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head, and we shall be guiltless: and whosoever shall be with thee in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand be upon him.
In zgodilo se bo, da kdorkoli bo šel ven skozi vrata tvoje hiše na ulico, bo njegova kri na njegovi glavi, midva pa bova brez krivde. In kdorkoli bo s teboj v hiši, njegova kri bo na najini glavi, če bo katerakoli roka nad njim.
20 But if thou utter this our business, then we shall be guiltless of thine oath which thou hast made us to swear.
Če izustiš to našo stvar, potem bova prosta tvoje prisege, s katero si naju primorala priseči.«
21 And she said, According unto your words, so be it. And she sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in the window.
Rekla je: »Glede na vajine besede, tako naj bo to.« Poslala ju je proč in sta odšla in na okno je privezala škrlatno vrv.
22 And they went, and came unto the mountain, and abode there three days, until the pursuers were returned: and the pursuers sought them throughout all the way, but found them not.
Odšla sta in prišla h gori ter tam ostala tri dni, dokler se zasledovalci niso vrnili. Zasledovalci so ju iskali po vsej poti, toda niso ju našli.
23 Then the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun; and they told him all that had befallen them.
Tako sta se oba moža vrnila in spustila z gore, šla čez in prišla k Nunovemu sinu Józuetu in mu povedala vse stvari, ki so se jima pripetile.
24 And they said unto Joshua, Truly Jehovah hath delivered into our hands all the land; and moreover all the inhabitants of the land do melt away before us.
Józuetu sta rekla: »Resnično, Gospod je v naše roke izročil vso deželo, kajti celo vsi prebivalci dežele zaradi nas slabijo.«
