< Joshua 1 >
1 Now after the death of Moses, the servant of the Lord, the word of the Lord came to Joshua, the son of Nun, Moses' helper, saying,
Torej po smrti Mojzesa, Gospodovega služabnika, se je pripetilo, da je Gospod spregovoril Nunovemu sinu Józuetu, Mojzesovemu služabniku, rekoč:
2 Moses my servant is dead; so now get up! Go over Jordan, you and all this people, into the land which I am giving to them, to the children of Israel.
»Moj služabnik Mojzes je mrtev. Sedaj torej vstani, pojdi čez ta Jordan, ti in vse to ljudstvo, v deželo, ki jo dajem njim, torej Izraelovim otrokom.
3 Every place on which you put your foot I have given to you, as I said to Moses.
Vsak kraj, na katerega bo stopil podplat tvojega stopala, to sem ti dal, kakor sem rekel Mojzesu.
4 From the waste land and this mountain Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates, and all the land of the Hittites to the Great Sea, in the west, will be your country.
Od divjine in tega Libanona, celo do velike reke, reke Evfrat, vso deželo Hetejcev in do velikega morja proti zahajanju sonca, bo vaša pokrajina.
5 While you are living, all will give way before you: as I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will not take away my help from you or give you up.
Tam noben mož ne bo zmožen obstati pred teboj vse dni tvojega življenja. Kakor sem bil z Mojzesom, tako bom s teboj. Ne bom te razočaral niti te ne bom zapustil.
6 Take heart and be strong; for you will give to this people for their heritage the land which I gave by an oath to their fathers.
Bodi močan in odločnega poguma, kajti temu ljudstvu boš v dediščino razdelil deželo, za katero sem prisegel njihovim očetom, da jim jo dam.
7 Only take heart and be very strong; take care to do all the law which Moses my servant gave you, not turning from it to the right hand or to the left, so that you may do well in all your undertakings.
Samo močan bodi in zelo pogumen, da boš lahko obeležil, da storiš glede na vso postavo, ki ti jo je moj služabnik Mojzes zapovedal. Ne obrni se od nje ne k desni roki ne k levi, da boš lahko uspeval kamorkoli greš.
8 Let this book of the law be ever on your lips and in your thoughts day and night, so that you may keep with care everything in it; then a blessing will be on all your way, and you will do well.
Ta knjiga postave ne bo odšla od tvojih ust, temveč boš o njej premišljeval podnevi in ponoči, da boš lahko obeležil, da storiš glede na vse to, kar je zapisano v njej, kajti takrat boš naredil svojo pot uspešno in takrat boš imel dober uspeh.
9 Have I not given you your orders? Take heart and be strong; have no fear and do not be troubled; for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go,
Mar ti nisem jaz zapovedal? Bodi močan in odločnega poguma. Ne bodi prestrašen niti ne bodi zaprepaden, kajti Gospod, tvoj Bog, je s teboj, kamorkoli greš.«
10 Then Joshua gave their orders to those who were in authority over the people, saying,
Potem je Józue zapovedal častnikom ljudstva, rekoč:
11 Go through the tents and give orders to the people, saying, Get ready a store of food; for in three days you are to go over this river Jordan and take for your heritage the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
»Preidite skozi vojsko in zapovejte ljudstvu, rekoč: ›Pripravite svoj živež, kajti v treh dneh boste šli preko tega Jordana, da vstopite, da vzamete v last deželo, ki vam jo daje Gospod, vaš Bog, da jo vzamete v last.‹«
12 And to the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, Joshua said,
Rubenovcem in Gádovcem in polovici Manásejevega rodu pa je Józue spregovoril, rekoč:
13 Keep in mind what Moses, the servant of the Lord, said to you, The Lord your God is sending you rest and will give you this land.
»Spomnite se besede, ki vam jo je zapovedal Gospodov služabnik Mojzes, rekoč: › Gospod, vaš Bog, vam je dal počitek in vam je dal to deželo.‹
14 Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle will be kept here in the land which Moses gave you on this side of Jordan; but you, the fighting-men, are to go over before your brothers, armed, to give them help;
Vaše žene, vaši malčki in vaša živina bodo ostali v deželi, ki vam jo je dal Mojzes na tej strani Jordana, toda vi boste pred vašimi brati prečkali oboroženi, vsi močni junaški možje in jim pomagali,
15 Till the Lord has given your brothers rest, as he has given it to you, and they have taken their heritage in the land which the Lord your God is giving them: then you will go back to the land of your heritage which Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave you on the east side of Jordan.
dokler Gospod ne da vašim bratom počitek, kakor ga je dal vam in tudi oni ne vzamejo v last dežele, ki jim jo daje Gospod, vaš Bog. Potem se boste vrnili v deželo svoje posesti in jo uživali, ki vam jo je dal Gospodov služabnik Mojzes na tej strani Jordana, proti sončnemu vzhodu.«
16 Then they said to Joshua in answer, Whatever you say to us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go.
Józuetu so odgovorili, rekoč: »Vse, kar nam zapoveduješ, bomo storili in kamor nas pošlješ, bomo šli.
17 As we gave attention to Moses in all things, so we will give attention to you: and may the Lord your God be with you as he was with Moses.
Glede na to, kakor smo Mojzesu prisluhnili v vseh stvareh, tako bomo prisluhnili tebi. Samo Gospod, tvoj Bog, naj bo s teboj, kakor je bil z Mojzesom.
18 Whoever goes against your orders, and does not give attention to all your words, will be put to death: only take heart and be strong.
Kdorkoli je ta, ki se upre zoper tvojo zapoved in ne bo prisluhnil tvojim besedam v vsem, kar mu zapoveš, bo usmrčen. Samo močan bodi in odločnega poguma.«
