Joshua 23
1 And it came to pass after many days after the Lord had given Israel rest from all his enemies round about, that Joshua was old and advanced in years.
A poslije mnogo vremena, pošto Gospod umiri Izrailja od svijeh neprijatelja njegovijeh unaokolo, i Isus bi star i vremenit,
2 And Joshua called together all the children of Israel, and their elders, and their chiefs, and their judges, and their officers; and said to them, I am old and advanced in years.
Dozva Isus sve sinove Izrailjeve, starješine njihove i poglavare njihove i sudije i upravitelje njihove, i reèe im: ja sam star i vremenit;
3 And you have seen all that the Lord our God has done to all these nations before us; [for it] is the Lord your God who has fought for you.
A vi ste vidjeli sve što je uèinio Gospod Bog vaš svijem ovijem narodima vas radi, jer je Gospod Bog vaš sam vojevao za vas.
4 See, that I have given to you these nations that are left to you by lots to your tribes, all the nations beginning at Jordan; and [some] I have destroyed; and the boundaries shall be at the great sea westward.
Vidite, razdijelio sam vam ždrijebom ove narode, koji ostaše, u našljedstvo po plemenima vašim od Jordana, sve narode koje istrijebih do velikoga mora na zapad.
5 And the Lord our God, he shall destroy them before us, until they utterly perish; and he shall send against them the wild beasts, until he shall have utterly destroyed them and their kings from before you; and you shall inherit their land, as the Lord our God said to you.
I Gospod Bog vaš razagnaæe ih ispred vas i istrijebiæe ih ispred vas, i naslijediæete zemlju njihovu, kao što vam je rekao Gospod Bog vaš.
6 Do you therefore strive diligently to observe and do all things written in the book of the law of Moses, that you turn not to the right hand or to the left;
Zato ukrijepite se dobro da držite i tvorite sve što je napisano u knjizi zakona Mojsijeva, da ne otstupate od njega ni nadesno ni nalijevo,
7 that you go not in amongst these nations that are left; and the names of their gods shall not be named amongst you, neither shall you serve them, neither shall you bow down to them.
Da se ne pomješate s tijem narodima što su ostali meðu vama, i da ne pominjete imena bogova njihovijeh, i da se ne kunete njima niti da im služite niti im se klanjate.
8 But you shall cleave to the Lord our God, as you have done until this day.
Nego se držite Gospoda Boga svojega, kao što ste èinili do danas.
9 And the Lord shall destroy them before you, [even] great and strong nations; and no one has stood before us until this day.
Zato je Gospod odagnao ispred vas narode velike i jake, i niko se nije održao pred vama do danas.
10 One of you has chased a thousand, for the Lord our God, he fought for you, as he said to us.
Jedan èovjek izmeðu vas goniæe tisuæu, jer Gospod Bog vaš vojuje za vas, kao što vam je rekao.
11 And take you great heed to love the Lord our God.
Pazite dakle dobro da ljubite Gospoda Boga svojega.
12 For if you shall turn aside and attach yourselves to these nations that are left with you, and make marriages with them, and become mingled with them and they with you,
Jer ako se odvratite i pristanete za ostatkom tijeh naroda što su još ostali meðu vama, i s njima se oprijateljite i pomiješate se s njima i oni s vama,
13 know that the Lord will no more destroy these nations from before you; and they will be to you snares and stumbling blocks, and nails in your heels, and darts in your eyes, until you be destroyed from off this good land, which the Lord your God has given you.
Znajte zaista da Gospod Bog vaš neæe više izgoniti tijeh naroda ispred vas, nego æe vam oni postati zamka i mreža, i biè bokovima vašim, i trnje oèima vašim, dokle ne izginete na ovoj dobroj zemlji koju vam je dao Gospod Bog vaš.
14 But I hasten to go the way [of death], as all that are upon the earth also [do]: and you know in your heart and in your soul, that not one word has fallen [to the ground] of all the words which the Lord our God has spoken respecting all that concerns us; there has not one of them failed.
I evo, ja idem sada kuda ide sve na zemlji; poznajte dakle svijem srcem svojim i svom dušom svojom da nije izostalo ništa od svega dobra što vam je obrekao Gospod Bog vaš, sve vam se navršilo, nije izostalo ništa.
15 And it shall come to pass, that as all the good things are come upon us which the Lord God will bring upon you all the evil things, until he shall have destroyed you from off this good land, which the Lord has given you,
A kako vam se navršilo svako dobro što vam je obrekao Gospod Bog vaš, tako æe Gospod pustiti na vas sva zla, dokle vas ne istrijebi s ove dobre zemlje, koju vam je dao Gospod Bog vaš,
16 when you transgress the covenant of the Lord our God, which he has charged us, and go and serve other gods, and bow down to them.
Ako prestupite zavjet Gospoda Boga svojega koji vam je zapovjedio, i otidete da služite drugim bogovima, i stanete im se klanjati; i raspaliæe se gnjev Gospodnji na vas, i nestaæe vas brzo s te dobre zemlje, koju vam je dao.
