< Joshua 10 >
1 Now when it came to the ears of Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem, that Joshua had taken Ai, and had given it up to the curse (for as he had done to Jericho and its king, so he had done to Ai and its king); and that the people of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were living among 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 He was in great fear, because Gibeon was a great town, like one of the king's towns, greater than Ai, and all the men in it were men of war.
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 So Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem, sent to Hoham, king of Hebron, and to Piram, king of Jarmuth, and to Japhia, king of Lachish, and to 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 to me and give me help, and let us make an attack on Gibeon: for they have made peace with Joshua and the children of Israel.
»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 king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon, were banded together, and went up with all their armies and took up their position 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 And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua to the tent-circle at Gilgal, saying, Be not slow to send help to your servants; come up quickly to our support and keep us safe: for all the kings of the Amorites from the hill-country have come together 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 went up from Gilgal with all his army and all his men of war.
Tako se je Józue vzpel iz Gilgála, on in vse bojno ljudstvo z njim in vsi močni junaški možje.
8 And the Lord said to Joshua, Have no fear of them, for I have given them into your hands; they will all give way before 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 So Joshua, having come up from Gilgal all night, made a sudden attack on them.
Józue je torej nenadoma prišel k njim in vso noč so hodili gor od Gilgála.
10 And the Lord made them full of fear before Israel, and they put great numbers of them to death at Gibeon, and went after them by the way going up to Beth-horon, driving them back to 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 And in their flight before Israel, on the way down from Beth-horon, the Lord sent down great stones from heaven on them all the way to Azekah, causing their death: those whose death was caused by the stones were more than those whom the children of Israel put to death with the sword.
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 It was on the day when the Lord gave up the Amorites into the hands of the children of Israel that Joshua said to the Lord, before the eyes of Israel, Sun, be at rest over Gibeon; and you, O moon, in 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 And the sun was at rest and the moon kept its place till the nation had given punishment to their attackers. (Is it not recorded in the book of Jashar?) So the sun kept its place in the middle of the heavens, and was waiting, and did not go down, for the space of a 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 And there was no day like that, before it or after it, when the Lord gave ear to the voice of a man; for the Lord was fighting 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 And Joshua, with all Israel, went back to the tent-circle at Gilgal.
Józue se je vrnil in ves Izrael z njim, k taboru pri Gilgálu.
16 But these five kings went in flight secretly to a hole in the rock at Makkedah.
Toda teh pet kraljev je pobegnilo in se skrilo v votlini pri Makédi.
17 And word was given to Joshua that the five kings had been taken in a hole in the rock at Makkedah.
To je bilo povedano Józuetu, rekoč: »Pet kraljev je najdenih skritih v votlini pri Makédi.«
18 And Joshua said, Let great stones be rolled against the mouth of the hole, and let men keep watch by it:
Józue je rekel: »Na odprtino votline zavalite velike kamne in poleg postavite može, da jih varujejo.
19 But do you, without waiting, go after their army, attacking them from the back; do not let them get into their towns, for the Lord your God has given them into your hands.
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 Now when Joshua and the children of Israel had come to the end of their war of complete destruction, and had put to death all but a small band who had got safely into the walled towns,
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 All the people went back to Joshua to the tent-circle at Makkedah in peace: and no one said a word against the children of Israel.
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, Take away the stones from the mouth of the hole in the rock, and make those five kings come out to me.
Potem je Józue rekel: »Odprite odprtino votline in teh pet kraljev privedite k meni, ven iz votline.«
23 And they did so, and made those five kings come out of the hole to him, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of 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 And when they had made those kings come out to Joshua, Joshua sent for all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the men of war who had gone with him, Come near and put your feet on the necks of these kings. So they came near 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 And Joshua said to them, Have no fear and do not be troubled; be strong and take heart: for so will the Lord do to all against whom you make war.
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 Then Joshua had them put to death, hanging them on five trees, where they were till evening.
Potem jih je Józue udaril, jih usmrtil in jih obesil na pet dreves; in do večera so viseli na drevesih.
27 And when the sun went down, they were taken down from the trees, by Joshua's orders, and put into the hole where they had gone to be safe; and great stones were placed at the mouth of the hole, where they are 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 That day Joshua took Makkedah, and put it and its king to the sword; every soul in it he gave up to the curse without mercy: and 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 went on from Makkedah and came to Libnah, and made an attack on it;
Potem je Józue in ves Izrael z njim, prešel od Makéde v Libno in se boril zoper Libno.
30 And again the Lord gave it and its king into the hands of Israel; and he put it and every person in it to the sword, till their destruction was complete; and he did to its king 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 Then Joshua and all Israel with him went on from Libnah to Lachish, and took up their position against it and made an attack on 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 gave Lachish into the hands of Israel, and on the second day he took it, putting it and every person in it to the sword without mercy, 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 Then Horam, king of Gezer, came up to the help of Lachish; and Joshua overcame him and his people, putting all of them to death.
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 And Joshua and all Israel with him went on from Lachish to Eglon: and they took up their position against it and made an attack on 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 And that day they took it, putting it and every person in it to the sword, 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 And Joshua and all Israel with him went up from Eglon to Hebron, and made an attack on it;
Józue in ves Izrael z njim, je odšel gor od Eglóna, do Hebróna in so se borili zoper njega,
37 And took it, overcoming it and putting it and its king and its towns and every person in it to the sword: as he had done to Eglon, he put them all to death, and gave it up to the curse with every person 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 And Joshua and all Israel with him went on to make an attack on Debir;
Józue se je vrnil in ves Izrael z njim, do Debírja in se boril zoper njega
39 And he took it, with its king and all its towns: and he put them to the sword, giving every person in it to the curse; all were put to death: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir 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 overcame all the land, the hill-country and the South and the lowland and the mountain slopes, and all their kings; all were put to death: and every living thing he gave up to the curse, as the Lord, the God of Israel, had given him orders.
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 overcame them from Kadesh-barnea to Gaza, and all the land 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 all these kings and their land Joshua took at the same time, because the Lord, the God of Israel, was fighting for Israel.
Vse te kralje in njihove dežele je Józue zavzel naenkrat, ker se je Gospod, Izraelov Bog, boril za Izrael.
43 Then Joshua and all Israel with him went back to their tents at Gilgal.
In Józue se je vrnil in ves Izrael z njim, v tabor h Gilgálu.
