< Joshua 10 >

1 Now Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem heard that Joshua had captured Ai and devoted it to destruction —doing to Ai and its king as he had done to Jericho and its king—and that the people of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were living near them.
Pripetilo se je torej, ko je jeruzalemski kralj Adoní Cedek slišal, kako je Józue zavzel Aj in ga popolnoma uničil; kakor je storil Jerihi in njenemu kralju, tako je storil Aju in njegovemu kralju; in kako so prebivalci Gibeóna sklenili mir z Izraelom in so bili med njimi;
2 So Adoni-zedek and his people were greatly alarmed, because Gibeon was a great city, like one of the royal cities; it was larger than Ai, and all its men were mighty.
da so se silno bali, ker je bil Gibeón veliko mesto, kakor eno izmed kraljevskih mest in ker je bil večji kakor Aj in vsi njihovi možje so bili mogočni.
3 Therefore Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem sent word to Hoham king of Hebron, Piram king of Jarmuth, Japhia king of Lachish, and Debir king of Eglon, saying,
Zato je jeruzalemski kralj Adoní Cedek poslal k Hohámu, kralju v Hebrónu in Pirámu, kralju v Jarmútu in Jafíju, kralju v Lahíšu in Debírju, kralju v Eglónu, rekoč:
4 “Come up and help me. We will attack Gibeon, because they have made peace with Joshua and the Israelites.”
»Pridite gor k meni in mi pomagajte, da bomo lahko udarili Gibeón, kajti ta je sklenil mir z Józuetom in z Izraelovimi otroki.«
5 So the five kings of the Amorites—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon—joined forces and advanced with all their armies. They camped before Gibeon and made war against it.
Zato se je pet kraljev izmed Amoréjcev, kralj iz Jeruzalema, kralj iz Hebróna, kralj iz Jarmúta, kralj iz Lahíša in kralj iz Eglóna, zbralo skupaj in odšlo gor, oni in vse njihove vojske in se utaborili pred Gibeónom in začeli vojno zoper njega.
6 Then the men of Gibeon sent word to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal: “Do not abandon your servants. Come quickly and save us! Help us, because all the kings of the Amorites from the hill country have joined forces against us.”
Možje iz Gibeóna so poslali k Józuetu, v tabor pri Gilgálu, rekoč: »Ne odtegni svoje roke od svojih služabnikov. Hitro pridi gor k nam in nas reši in nam pomagaj, kajti vsi kralji Amoréjcev, ki prebivajo po gorah, so skupaj zbrani zoper nas.«
7 So Joshua and his whole army, including all the mighty men of valor, came from Gilgal.
Tako se je Józue vzpel iz Gilgála, on in vse bojno ljudstvo z njim in vsi močni junaški možje.
8 The LORD said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them, for I have delivered them into your hand. Not one of them shall stand against you.”
Gospod je rekel Józuetu: »Ne boj se jih, kajti izročil sem jih v tvojo roko. Niti mož izmed njih ne bo obstal pred teboj.«
9 After marching all night from Gilgal, Joshua caught them by surprise.
Józue je torej nenadoma prišel k njim in vso noč so hodili gor od Gilgála.
10 And the LORD threw them into confusion before Israel, who defeated them in a great slaughter at Gibeon, pursued them along the ascent to Beth-horon, and struck them down as far as Azekah and Makkedah.
Gospod jih je porazil pred Izraelom ter jih pri Gibeónu usmrtil z velikim pobojem in jih zasledoval na poti, ki gre gor do Bet Horóna in jih udarjal do Azéke in proti Makédi.
11 As they fled before Israel along the descent from Beth-horon to Azekah, the LORD cast down on them large hailstones from the sky, and more of them were killed by the hailstones than by the swords of the Israelites.
Ko so bežali izpred Izraela in so bili pri spuščanju dol k Bet Horónu, se je pripetilo, da je Gospod z neba nanje metal velike kamne do Azéke in so umrli. Bilo jih je več, ki so umrli od kamnite toče, kakor tistih, ki so jih Izraelovi otroci usmrtili z mečem.
12 On the day that the LORD gave the Amorites over to the Israelites, Joshua spoke to the LORD in the presence of Israel: “O sun, stand still over Gibeon, O moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.”
Potem je Józue spregovoril Gospodu na dan, ko je pred Izraelovimi otroki Gospod izročil Amoréjce in rekel pred očmi Izraela: »Sonce, ti stoj mirno nad Gibeónom in ti luna v dolini Ajalón.«
13 So the sun stood still and the moon stopped until the nation took vengeance upon its enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jashar? “So the sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day.”
Sonce je stalo mirno in luna je obstala, dokler se ljudstvo ni maščevalo nad svojimi sovražniki. Mar ni to zapisano v Jasherjevi knjigi? Tako je sonce mirno stalo na sredi neba in približno cel dan ni pohitelo, da bi zašlo.
14 There has been no day like it before or since, when the LORD listened to the voice of a man, because the LORD fought for Israel.
Pred tem niti za tem ni bilo takšnega dne, da bi Gospod prisluhnil glasu moža, kajti Gospod se je bojeval za Izrael.
15 Then Joshua returned with all Israel to the camp at Gilgal.
Józue se je vrnil in ves Izrael z njim, k taboru pri Gilgálu.
16 Now the five kings had fled and hidden in the cave at Makkedah.
Toda teh pet kraljev je pobegnilo in se skrilo v votlini pri Makédi.
17 And Joshua was informed: “The five kings have been found; they are hiding in the cave at Makkedah.”
To je bilo povedano Józuetu, rekoč: »Pet kraljev je najdenih skritih v votlini pri Makédi.«
18 So Joshua said, “Roll large stones against the mouth of the cave, and post men there to guard them.
Józue je rekel: »Na odprtino votline zavalite velike kamne in poleg postavite može, da jih varujejo.
19 But you, do not stop there. Pursue your enemies and attack them from behind. Do not let them reach their cities, for the LORD your God has delivered them into your hand.”
Ne stojte, temveč sledite za svojimi sovražniki in udarite najbolj zadnje izmed njih. Ne trpite, da vstopijo v svoja mesta, kajti Gospod, vaš Bog, jih je izročil v vašo roko.«
20 So Joshua and the Israelites continued to inflict a terrible slaughter until they had finished them off, and the remaining survivors retreated to the fortified cities.
Pripetilo se je, ko so Józue in Izraelovi otroci z zelo velikim pokolom, dokler niso bili použiti, naredili konec njihovemu pobijanju, da je preostanek, ki je preostal izmed njih, vstopil v utrjena mesta.
21 The whole army returned safely to Joshua in the camp at Makkedah, and no one dared to utter a word against the Israelites.
In vse ljudstvo se je v miru vrnilo k taboru, k Józuetu, pri Makédi. Nihče ni svojega jezika premaknil zoper kateregakoli izmed Izraelovih otrok.
22 Then Joshua said, “Open the mouth of the cave and bring those five kings out to me.”
Potem je Józue rekel: »Odprite odprtino votline in teh pet kraljev privedite k meni, ven iz votline.«
23 So they brought the five kings out of the cave—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon.
Storili so tako in iz votline so k njemu privedli teh pet kraljev, kralja iz Jeruzalema, kralja iz Hebróna, kralja iz Jarmúta, kralja iz Lahíša in kralja iz Eglóna.
24 When they had brought the kings to Joshua, he summoned all the men of Israel and said to the army commanders who had accompanied him, “Come here and put your feet on the necks of these kings.” So the commanders came forward and put their feet on their necks.
Ko so te kralje privedli k Józuetu, se je pripetilo, da je Józue dal poklicati vse Izraelove može in rekel poveljnikom bojevnikov, ki so odšli z njim: »Pridite bliže, položite svoja stopala na vratove teh kraljev.« Približali so se in svoja stopala položili na njihove vratove.
25 “Do not be afraid or discouraged,” Joshua said. “Be strong and courageous, for the LORD will do this to all the enemies you fight.”
Józue jim je rekel: »Ne bojte se niti ne bodite zaprepadeni, bodite močni in odločnega poguma, kajti tako bo Gospod storil vsem vašim sovražnikom, zoper katere se borite.«
26 After this, Joshua struck down and killed the kings, and he hung their bodies on five trees and left them there until evening.
Potem jih je Józue udaril, jih usmrtil in jih obesil na pet dreves; in do večera so viseli na drevesih.
27 At sunset Joshua ordered that they be taken down from the trees and thrown into the cave in which they had hidden. Then large stones were placed against the mouth of the cave, and the stones are there to this day.
Ob času zahajanja sonca pa se je pripetilo, da je Józue zapovedal in so jih sneli iz dreves in jih vrgli v votlino, v kateri so bili skriti in na ustje votline so položili velike kamne, ki ostajajo do točno tega dne.
28 On that day Joshua captured Makkedah and put it to the sword, along with its king. He devoted to destruction everyone in the city, leaving no survivors. So he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.
Ta dan je Józue zavzel Makédo in jo udaril z ostrino meča in njenega kralja je popolnoma uničil, njih in vse duše, ki so bile tam. Nikogar ni pustil ostati. Kralju v Makédi pa je storil, kakor je storil kralju v Jerihi.
29 Then Joshua and all Israel with him moved on from Makkedah to Libnah and fought against Libnah.
Potem je Józue in ves Izrael z njim, prešel od Makéde v Libno in se boril zoper Libno.
30 And the LORD also delivered that city and its king into the hand of Israel, and Joshua put all the people to the sword, leaving no survivors. And he did to the king of Libnah as he had done to the king of Jericho.
Tudi njo je Gospod izročil in njenega kralja, v Izraelovo roko. Udaril jo je z ostrino meča in vse duše, ki so bile v njej. Nikogar ni pustil preostati v njej, toda njenemu kralju je storil, kakor je storil kralju Jerihe.
31 And Joshua and all Israel with him moved on from Libnah to Lachish. They laid siege to it and fought against it.
Józue in ves Izrael z njim, je prešel od Libne do Lahíša in se utaboril zoper njega in se boril zoper njega.
32 And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, and Joshua captured it on the second day. He put all the people to the sword, just as he had done to Libnah.
Gospod je Lahíš izročil v Izraelovo roko, ki so ga zavzeli na drugi dan in ga udaril z ostrino meča in vse duše, ki so bile tam, glede na vse, kar je storil Libni.
33 At that time Horam king of Gezer went to help Lachish, but Joshua struck him down along with his people, leaving no survivors.
Potem je prišel gor Horám, kralj v Gezerju, da pomaga Lahíšu, in Józue je udaril njega in njegovo ljudstvo, dokler nikogar ni pustil preostati.
34 So Joshua moved on from Lachish to Eglon, and all Israel with him. They laid siege to it and fought against it.
Iz Lahíša je Józue prešel do Eglóna in ves Izrael z njim in utaborili so se zoper njega in se borili zoper njega.
35 That day they captured Eglon and put it to the sword, and Joshua devoted to destruction everyone in the city, just as he had done to Lachish.
Zavzeli so ga na ta dan in ga udarili z ostrino meča in vse duše, ki so bile tam, je ta dan popolnoma uničil, glede na vse, kar je storil Lahíšu.
36 Then Joshua and all Israel with him went up from Eglon to Hebron and fought against it.
Józue in ves Izrael z njim, je odšel gor od Eglóna, do Hebróna in so se borili zoper njega,
37 They captured it and put to the sword its king, all its villages, and all the people. Joshua left no survivors, just as he had done at Eglon; he devoted to destruction Hebron and everyone in it.
ga zavzeli in udarili z ostrino meča in njihovega kralja in vsa njihova mesta in vse duše, ki so bile v njem. Nikogar ni pustil preostati, glede na vse, kar je storil Eglónu, temveč ga je popolnoma uničil in vse duše, ki so bile v njem.
38 Finally Joshua and all Israel with him turned toward Debir and fought against it.
Józue se je vrnil in ves Izrael z njim, do Debírja in se boril zoper njega
39 And they captured Debir, its king, and all its villages. They put them to the sword and devoted to destruction everyone in the city, leaving no survivors. Joshua did to Debir and its king as he had done to Hebron and as he had done to Libnah and its king.
in ga zavzel in njegovega kralja in vsa njegova mesta. Udarili so jih z ostrino meča in popolnoma uničili vse duše, ki so bile v njem. Nikogar ni pustil preostati. Kakor je storil Hebrónu, tako je storil Debírju in njegovemu kralju, kakor je storil tudi Libni in njenemu kralju.
40 So Joshua conquered the whole region—the hill country, the Negev, the foothills, and the slopes, together with all their kings—leaving no survivors. He devoted to destruction everything that breathed, just as the LORD, the God of Israel, had commanded.
Tako je Józue udaril vso hribovito deželo, južno [deželo], [deželo] dolin, izvirov in vse njihove kralje. Ničesar ni pustil preostati, temveč je popolnoma uničil vse, kar je dihalo, kakor je zapovedal Gospod, Izraelov Bog.
41 Joshua conquered the area from Kadesh-barnea to Gaza, and the whole region of Goshen as far as Gibeon.
Józue jih je udarjal od Kadeš Barnée, celo do Gaze in vso Gošensko pokrajino, celo do Gibeóna.
42 And because the LORD, the God of Israel, fought for Israel, Joshua captured all these kings and their land in one campaign.
Vse te kralje in njihove dežele je Józue zavzel naenkrat, ker se je Gospod, Izraelov Bog, boril za Izrael.
43 Then Joshua returned with all Israel to the camp at Gilgal.
In Józue se je vrnil in ves Izrael z njim, v tabor h Gilgálu.
