Joshua 3
1 Then Joshua got up early in the morning, and, moving on from Shittim, he and all the children of Israel came to Jordan and were there for the night before going over.
Józue je zgodaj zjutraj vstal in odpravili so se iz Šitíma ter prišli k Jordanu, on in vsi Izraelovi otroci in tam so prenočili, preden so šli čez.
2 And at the end of three days, the men in authority over the people went through the tents,
Po treh dneh se je pripetilo, da so častniki šli skozi vojsko
3 Giving the people their orders, and saying, When you see the ark of the agreement of the Lord your God lifted up by the priests, the Levites, then get up from your places and go after it;
in zapovedali ljudstvu, rekoč: »Ko zagledate skrinjo zaveze Gospoda, svojega Boga in duhovnike in Lévijevce, ki jo nosijo, potem se boste odpravili iz svojega kraja in šli za njo.
4 But let there be a space between you and it of about two thousand cubits: come no nearer to it, so that you may see the way you have to go, for you have not been over this way before.
Vendar naj bo med vami in njo prazen prostor, okoli dva tisoč komolcev po meri. Ne pridite bliže k njej, da boste lahko poznali pot, po kateri morate iti, kajti poprej še niste šli po tej poti.«
5 And Joshua said to the people, Make yourselves holy, for tomorrow the Lord will do works of wonder among you.
Józue je rekel ljudstvu: »Posvetite se, kajti jutri bo Gospod med vami delal čudeže.«
6 Then Joshua said to the priests, Take up the ark of the agreement and go over in front of the people. So they took up the ark of the agreement and went in front of the people.
Duhovnikom je Józue spregovoril, rekoč: »Dvignite skrinjo zaveze in pojdite čez pred ljudstvom.« In dvignili so skrinjo zaveze in odšli pred ljudstvom.
7 And the Lord said to Joshua, From now on I will give you glory in the eyes of all Israel, so that they may see that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with you.
Gospod je rekel Józuetu: »Ta dan te bom začel poveličevati pred očmi vsega Izraela, da bodo lahko vedeli, da kakor sem bil z Mojzesom, tako bom s teboj.
8 And you are to give orders to the priests who take up the ark of the agreement, and say, When you come to the edge of the waters of Jordan, go no further.
Duhovnikom, ki nosijo skrinjo zaveze, boš zapovedal, rekoč: ›Ko pridete k robu jordanske vode, boste mirno stali v Jordanu.‹«
9 And Joshua said to the children of Israel, Come to me here: and give ear to the words of the Lord your God.
Izraelovim otrokom je Józue rekel: »Pridite sèm in prisluhnite besedam Gospoda, svojega Boga.«
10 And Joshua said, By this you will see that the living God is among you, and that he will certainly send out from before you the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Hivite and the Perizzite and the Girgashite and the Amorite and the Jebusite.
Józue je rekel: »S tem boste spoznali, da je med vami živi Bog in da bo on čisto gotovo pred vami napodil Kánaance, Hetejce, Hivéjce, Perizéjce, Girgašéjce, Amoréjce in Jebusejce.
11 See, the ark of the agreement of the Lord of all the earth is going over before you into Jordan.
Glejte, skrinja zaveze Gospoda vse zemlje, gre preko, pred vami, v Jordan.
12 So take twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, a man from every tribe.
Zdaj torej vzemite dvanajst mož izmed Izraelovih rodov, iz vsakega rodu moža.
13 And when the feet of the priests who take up the ark of the Lord, the Lord of all the earth, come to rest in the waters of Jordan, the waters of Jordan will be cut off, all the waters flowing down from higher up, and will come together in a mass.
Zgodilo se bo, takoj ko bodo podplati stopal duhovnikov, ki nosijo skrinjo Gospoda, Gospoda vse zemlje, počivali v vodah Jordana, da bodo vode Jordana odrezane od vod, ki prihajajo dol od zgoraj in bodo stale na kupu.«
14 So when the people went out from their tents to go over Jordan, the priests who took up the ark of the agreement were in front of the people;
In pripetilo se je, ko se je ljudstvo odpravilo od svojih šotorov, da gredo čez Jordan, in so duhovniki pred ljudstvom nosili skrinjo zaveze
15 And when those who took up the ark came to Jordan, and the feet of the priests who took up the ark were touching the edge of the water (for the waters of Jordan are overflowing all through the time of the grain-cutting),
in ko so tisti, ki so nosili skrinjo, prišli k Jordanu in so bila stopala duhovnikov, ki so nosili skrinjo, omočena v rob vode (kajti Jordan ves čas žetve preplavlja vse svoje bregove),
16 Then the waters flowing down from higher up were stopped and came together in a mass a long way back at Adam, a town near Zarethan; and the waters flowing down to the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, were cut off: and the people went across opposite Jericho.
da so vode, ki so prihajale dol od zgoraj, stale in se vzdignile na kup, zelo daleč od mesta Adám, ki je poleg Caretána. Tiste, ki so prihajale dol k morju ravnine, torej slanemu morju, so odtekle in bile odrezane in ljudstvo je šlo čez prav nasproti Jerihi.
17 And the priests who took up the ark of the agreement of the Lord kept their places, with their feet on dry land in the middle of Jordan, while all Israel went over on dry land, till all the nation had gone over Jordan.
Duhovniki, ki so nosili skrinjo Gospodove zaveze, so trdno stali na suhih tleh v sredi Jordana in vsi Izraelci so šli čez po suhih tleh, dokler ni vse ljudstvo šlo čez Jordan.
