< Joshua 4 >

1 Now when all the nation had come to the other side of Jordan, the Lord said to Joshua,
A kad sav narod prijeðe preko Jordana, reèe Gospod Isusu govoreæi:
2 Take twelve men from the people, a man for every tribe,
Izberite iz naroda dvanaest ljudi, po jednoga èovjeka iz svakoga plemena,
3 And say to them, Take up from the middle of Jordan, from the place where the feet of the priests were resting, twelve stones, and take them over with you and put them down in the place where you take your rest tonight.
I zapovjedite im i recite: uzmite odavde, isred Jordana, s mjesta gdje stoje nogama svojim sveštenici, dvanaest kamena, i odnesite ih sa sobom, i metnite ih ondje gdje æete noæas noæiti.
4 So Joshua sent for the twelve men, whom he had ready, one man out of every tribe of the children of Israel,
Tada dozva Isus dvanaest ljudi, koje bješe odredio izmeðu sinova Izrailjevih, po jednoga èovjeka iz svakoga plemena.
5 And he said to them, Go over before the ark of the Lord your God into the middle of Jordan, and let every one of you take up a stone on his back, one for every tribe of the children of Israel:
I reèe im Isus: idite pred kovèeg Gospoda Boga svojega usred Jordana, i uzmite svaki po jedan kamen na rame svoje, prema broju plemena sinova Izrailjevijeh,
6 So that this may be a sign among you; when your children say to you in time to come, What is the reason for these stones?
Da bude znak meðu vama. Kad vas poslije zapitaju sinovi vaši govoreæi: šta æe vam to kamenje?
7 Then you will say to them, Because the waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the Lord's agreement; when it went over Jordan the waters of Jordan were cut off: and these stones will be a sign for the children of Israel, keeping it in their memory for ever.
Recite im: jer se voda u Jordanu rastupi pred kovèegom zavjeta Gospodnjega, kad prelažaše preko Jordana, rastupi se voda u Jordanu, i ovo je kamenje spomen sinovima Izrailjevim dovijeka.
8 So the children of Israel did as Joshua gave them orders, and took twelve stones from the middle of Jordan, as the Lord had said to Joshua, one for every tribe of the children of Israel; these they took across with them to their night's resting-place and put them down there.
I uèiniše sinovi Izrailjevi kako zapovjedi Isus; i uzeše dvanaest kamena isred Jordana, kako bješe rekao Gospod Isusu, prema broju plemena sinova Izrailjevih; i odnesoše ih sa sobom na noæište, i metnuše ih ondje.
9 And Joshua put up twelve stones in the middle of Jordan, where the feet of the priests who took up the ark of the agreement had been placed: and there they are to this day.
A i usred Jordana postavi Isus dvanaest kamena na mjestu gdje stajahu nogama svojim sveštenici noseæi kovèeg zavjetni, i ondje ostaše do danas.
10 For the priests who took up the ark kept there in the middle of Jordan till all the orders given to Joshua by Moses from the Lord had been done: then the people went over quickly.
Sveštenici pak koji nošahu kovèeg stajahu usred Jordana dokle se ne svrši sve što bješe Gospod zapovjedio Isusu da kaže narodu, sasvijem kako bješe Mojsije zapovjedio Isusu. I narod pohitje i prijeðe.
11 And when all the people had come to the other side, the ark of the Lord went over, and the priests, before the eyes of the people.
A kad prijeðe sav narod, onda prijeðe i kovèeg Gospodnji i sveštenici, a narod gledaše.
12 And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh went over armed before the children of Israel as Moses had said to them:
Prijeðoše i sinovi Ruvimovi i sinovi Gadovi i polovina plemena Manasijina pod oružjem pred sinovima Izrailjevim, kao što im bješe kazao Mojsije.
13 About forty thousand armed for war went over before the Lord to the fight, to the lowlands of Jericho.
Oko èetrdeset tisuæa naoružanijeh prijeðoše pred Gospodom preko Jordana na boj u polje Jerihonsko.
14 That day the Lord made Joshua great in the eyes of all Israel; and all the days of his life they went in fear of him, as they had gone in fear of Moses.
Taj dan uzvisi Gospod Isusa pred svijem Izrailjem; i bojahu ga se, kao što su se bojali Mojsija, svega vijeka njegova.
15 Then the Lord said to Joshua,
I reèe Gospod Isusu govoreæi:
16 Give orders to the priests who take up the ark of witness, to come up out of Jordan.
Zapovjedi sveštenicima koji nose kovèeg od svedoèanstva neka izidu iz Jordana.
17 So Joshua gave orders to the priests, saying, Come up now out of Jordan.
I zapovjedi Isus sveštenicima govoreæi: izidite iz Jordana.
18 And when the priests who took up the ark of the Lord's agreement came up out of Jordan and their feet came out on to dry land, the waters of Jordan went back to their place, overflowing its edges as before.
A èim sveštenici koji nošahu kovèeg zavjeta Gospodnjega izidoše isred Jordana, i stadoše na suho nogom svojom sveštenici, odmah se povrati voda u Jordanu na mjesto svoje, i poteèe kao i prije povrh svijeh bregova svojih.
19 So on the tenth day of the first month the people came up out of Jordan, and put up their tents in Gilgal, on the east side of Jericho.
A izide narod iz Jordana desetoga dana prvoga mjeseca, i stadoše u oko u Galgalu, s istoka Jerihonu.
20 And the twelve stones which they took out of Jordan, Joshua put up in Gilgal.
A onijeh dvanaest kamena, što iznesoše iz Jordana, postavi Isus u Galgalu,
21 And he said to the children of Israel, When your children say to their fathers in time to come, What is the reason for these stones?
I reèe sinovima Izrailjevim govoreæi: kad unapredak zapitaju sinovi vaši oce svoje govoreæi: šta æe to kamenje?
22 Then give your children the story, and say, Israel came over this river Jordan on dry land.
Tada obavijestite sinove svoje, i recite im: suhim prijeðe Izrailj preko ovoga Jordana.
23 For the Lord your God made the waters of Jordan dry before you till you had gone across, as he did to the Red Sea, drying it up before us till we had gone across:
Jer Gospod Bog vaš osuši Jordan pred vama dokle prijeðoste, kao što je uèinio Gospod Bog vaš od Crvenoga Mora osušivši ga pred nama dokle prijeðosmo;
24 So that all the peoples of the earth may see that the hand of the Lord is strong; and that they may go in fear of the Lord your God for ever.
Da bi poznali svi narodi na zemlji da je ruka Gospodnja krjepka, da biste se svagda bojali Gospoda Boga svojega.
