< Joshua 10 >

1 And when Adoni-bezec king of Jerusalem heard that Joshua had taken Gai, and had destroyed it, as he did to Jericho and its king, even so they did to Gai and its king, and that the inhabitants of Gabaon had gone over to Joshua and Israel;
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 then they were greatly terrified by them, for [the king] knew that Gabaon [was] a great city, as one of the chief cities, 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 So Adoni-bezec king of Jerusalem sent to Elam king of Hebron, and to Phidon king of Jerimuth, and to Jephtha king of Lachis, and to Dabin king of Odollam, 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 hither to me, and help me, and let us take Gabaon; for the Gabaonites have gone over to Joshua and to 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 And the five kings of the Jebusites went up, the king of Jerusalem, and the king of Chebron, and the king of Jerimuth, and the king of Lachis, and the king of Odollam, they and all their people; and encamped around Gabaon, and besieged 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 inhabitants of Gabaon sent to Joshua into the camp to Galgala, saying, Slack not thy hands from thy servants: come up quickly to us, and help us, and rescue us; for all the kings of the Amorites who dwell in the hill country are gathered 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 And Joshua went up from Galgala, he and all the people of war with him, every one mighty in strength.
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, Fear them not, for I have delivered them into thy hands; there shall not one of them be left 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 And when Joshua came suddenly upon them, he [had] advanced all the night out of Galgala.
Józue je torej nenadoma prišel k njim in vso noč so hodili gor od Gilgála.
10 And the Lord struck them with terror before the children of Israel; and the Lord destroyed them with a great slaughter at Gabaon; and they pursued them by the way of the going up of Oronin, and they smote them to Azeca and to Makeda.
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 when they fled from the face of the children of Israel at the descent of Oronin, then the Lord cast upon them hailstones from heaven to Azeca; and they were more that died by the hailstones, than those whom the children of Israel slew with the sword in the battle.
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 Then Joshua spoke to the Lord, in the day in which the Lord delivered the Amorite into the power of Israel, when he destroyed them in Gabaon, and they were destroyed from before the children of Israel: and Joshua said, Let the sun stand over against Gabaon, and the moon over against the valley of Aelon.
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 and the moon stood still, until God executed vengeance on their enemies; and the sun stood still in the midst of heaven; it did not proceed to set till the end of one 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 not such a day either before or after, so that God should hearken to a man, because the Lord fought on the side of Israel.
Pred tem niti za tem ni bilo takšnega dne, da bi Gospod prisluhnil glasu moža, kajti Gospod se je bojeval za Izrael.
Józue se je vrnil in ves Izrael z njim, k taboru pri Gilgálu.
16 And these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave that is in Makeda.
Toda teh pet kraljev je pobegnilo in se skrilo v votlini pri Makédi.
17 And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings have been found hid in the cave that is in Makeda.
To je bilo povedano Józuetu, rekoč: »Pet kraljev je najdenih skritih v votlini pri Makédi.«
18 And Joshua said, Roll stones to the mouth of the cave, and set men to watch over them.
Józue je rekel: »Na odprtino votline zavalite velike kamne in poleg postavite može, da jih varujejo.
19 But do not ye stand, but pursue after your enemies, and attack the rear of them, and do not suffer them to enter into their cities; for the Lord our God has delivered them into our 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 And it came to pass when Joshua and all Israel ceased destroying them utterly with a very great slaughter, that they that escaped took refuge in the strong 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 And all the people returned safe to Joshua to Makeda; and no one of the children of Israel murmured with his tongue.
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 And Joshua said, Open the cave, and bring out these five kings out of the cave.
Potem je Józue rekel: »Odprite odprtino votline in teh pet kraljev privedite k meni, ven iz votline.«
23 And they brought out the five kings out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, and the king of Chebron, and the king of Jerimuth, and the king of Lachis, and the king of Odollam.
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 brought them out to Joshua, then Joshua called together all Israel, and the chiefs of the army that went with him, saying to them, Come forward and set your feet on their necks; and they came and set 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, Do not fear them, neither be cowardly; be courageous and strong, for thus the Lord will do to all your enemies, against whom ye 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 And Joshua slew them, and hanged them on five trees; and they hung upon the trees until the evening.
Potem jih je Józue udaril, jih usmrtil in jih obesil na pet dreves; in do večera so viseli na drevesih.
27 And it came to pass toward the setting of the sun, Joshua commanded, and they took them down from the trees, and cast them into the cave into which they [had] fled for refuge, and rolled stones to the cave, [which remain] till 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 And they took Makeda on that day, and slew the inhabitants with the edge of the sword, and they utterly destroyed every living thing that was in it; and there was none left in it that was preserved and had escaped; and they did to the king of Makeda, as they did 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 And Joshua and all Israel with him departed out of Makeda to Lebna, and besieged Lebna.
Potem je Józue in ves Izrael z njim, prešel od Makéde v Libno in se boril zoper Libno.
30 And the Lord delivered it into the hands of Israel: and they took it, and its king, and slew the inhabitants with the edge of the sword, and every thing breathing in it; and there was not left in it any that survived and escaped; and they did to its king, as they did 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 departed from Lebna to Lachis, and he encamped about it, and besieged 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 Lachis into the hands of Israel; and they took it on the second day, and they put the inhabitants to death with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed it, as they had done to Lebna.
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 Elam the king of Gazer went up to help Lachis; and Joshua smote him and his people with the edge of the sword, until there was not left to him one that was preserved and escaped.
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 departed from Lachis to Odollam, and he besieged it and took 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 the Lord delivered it into the hand of Israel; and he took it on that day, and slew the inhabitants with the edge of the sword, and slew every thing breathing in it, as they did to Lachis.
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 departed to Chebron, and encamped about it.
Józue in ves Izrael z njim, je odšel gor od Eglóna, do Hebróna in so se borili zoper njega,
37 And he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the living creatures that were in it; there was no one preserved: they destroyed it and all things in it, as they did to Odollam.
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 returned to Dabir; and they encamped about it;
Józue se je vrnil in ves Izrael z njim, do Debírja in se boril zoper njega
39 and they took it, and its king, and its villages: and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and they destroyed it, and every thing breathing in it; and they did not leave in it any one that was preserved: as they did to Chebron and her king, so they did to Dabir and her 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 And Joshua smote all the land of the hill country, and Nageb and the plain country, and Asedoth, and her kings, they did not leave of them one that was saved: and they utterly destroyed every thing that had the breath of life, as the Lord God of Israel 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 from Cades Barne to Gaza, all Gosom, as far as Gabaon.
Józue jih je udarjal od Kadeš Barnée, celo do Gaze in vso Gošensko pokrajino, celo do Gibeóna.
42 And Joshua smote, once for all, all their kings, and their land, because the Lord God of Israel fought on the side of Israel.
Vse te kralje in njihove dežele je Józue zavzel naenkrat, ker se je Gospod, Izraelov Bog, boril za Izrael.
In Józue se je vrnil in ves Izrael z njim, v tabor h Gilgálu.
