< Joshua 8 >

1 And the Lord said to Joshua, Fear not, nor be timorous: take with you all the men of war, and arise, go up to Gai; behold, I have given into your hands the king of Gai, and his land.
Iza toga reèe Gospod Isusu: ne boj se i ne plaši se; uzmi sa sobom sav narod što je za boj, pa ustani i idi na Gaj; evo predadoh ti u ruke cara Gajskoga i narod njegov i grad njegov i zemlju njegovu.
2 And you shall do to Gai, as you did to Jericho and its king; and you shall take to yourself the spoil of its cattle; set now for yourself an ambush for the city behind.
I uèini s Gajem i carem njegovijem kako si uèinio s Jerihonom i njegovijem carem; ali plijen iz njega i stoku njegovu razgrabite za se. Namjesti zasjedu iza grada.
3 And Joshua and all the men of war rose to go up to Gai; and Joshua chose out thirty thousand mighty men, and he sent them away by night.
I usta Isus i sav narod što bješe za boj, da idu na Gaj; i izabra Isus trideset tisuæa junaka, i posla ih noæu;
4 And he charged them, saying, Do you lie in ambush behind the city: do not go far from the city, and you shall all be ready.
I zapovjedi im govoreæi: gledajte vi koji æete biti u zasjedi iza grada, da ne budete vrlo daleko od grada, nego budite svi gotovi.
5 Land I and all with me will draw near to the city: and it shall come to pass when the inhabitants of Gai shall come forth to meet us, as before, that we will flee from before them.
A ja i sav narod što je sa mnom primaknuæemo se ka gradu; pa kad oni izidu pred nas, mi æemo kao i prije pobjeæi ispred njih.
6 And when they shall come out after us, we will draw them away from the city; and they will say, These men flee from before us, as also before.
Te æe oni poæi za nama dokle ih ne odvojimo od grada, jer æe reæi: bježe ispred nas kao i prije. I mi æemo bježati ispred njih.
7 And you shall rise up out of the ambuscade, and go into the city.
Tada vi izidite iz zasjede i istjerajte iz grada što bude ostalo. Jer æe vam ga dati Gospod Bog vaš u ruke.
8 You shall do according to this word, behold! I have commanded you.
A kad uzmete grad, zapalite ga ognjem; po rijeèi Gospodnjoj uèinite. Eto, zapovjedio sam vam.
9 And Joshua sent them, and they went to lie in ambush; and they lay between Baethel and Gai, westward of Gai.
Tako ih posla Isus, i oni otidoše u zasjedu, i stadoše izmeðu Vetilja i Gaja, sa zapada Gaju; a Isus prenoæi onu noæ meðu narodom.
10 And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and numbered the people; and he went up, he and the elders before the people to Gai.
A ujutru usta Isus rano i prebroji narod, pa poðe sa starješinama Izrailjevijem pred narodom na Gaj.
11 And all the men of war went up with him, and they went forward and came over against the city eastward.
I sva vojska što bješe s njim poðe i primakavši se doðoše prema gradu i stadoše u oko sa sjevera Gaju; a bijaše dolina izmeðu njih i Gaja.
12 And the ambuscade [was] on the west side of the city.
I uze oko pet tisuæa ljudi, i namjesti ih u zasjedu izmeðu Vetilja i Gaja, sa zapada gradu Gaju.
I kad se namjesti sav narod, sva vojska, što bijaše sa sjevera gradu i što bijaše u zasjedi sa zapada gradu, izide Isus onu noæ usred doline.
14 And it came to pass when the king of Gai saw [it], he hasted and went out to meet them direct to the battle, he and all the people [that were] with him: and he knew not that there was an ambuscade [formed] against him behind the city.
I kad to vidje car Gajski, ljudi u gradu pohitješe i uraniše; i izidoše onaj èas u polje pred Izrailja u boj, car i sav narod njegov. A ne znaðaše da ima zasjeda za njim iza grada.
15 And Joshua and Israel saw, and retreated from before them.
Tada Isus i sav Izrailj, kao da ih pobiše, nagoše bježati k pustinji.
16 And they pursued after the children of Israel, and they themselves went to a distance from the city.
A oni sazvaše sav narod što bješe u gradu da ih tjeraju. I tjeraše Isusa, i odvojiše se od svoga grada.
17 There was no one left in Gai who did not pursue after Israel; and they left the city open, and pursued after Israel.
I ne osta niko u Gaju ni u Vetilju da ne poðe za Izrailjem; i ostaviše grad otvoren, i tjerahu Izrailja.
18 And the Lord said to Joshua, Stretch forth your hand with the spear that is in your hand towards the city, for I have delivered it into your hands; and the liers in wait shall rise up quickly out of their place.
Tada reèe Gospod Isusu: digni zastavu što ti je u ruci prema Gaju, jer æu ti ga dati u ruke. I podiže Isus zastavu što mu bješe u ruci prema gradu.
19 And Joshua stretched out his hand [and] his spear towards the city, and the ambuscade rose up quickly out of their place; and they came forth when he stretched out his hand; and they entered into the city, and took it; and they hasted and burnt the city with fire.
A oni što bijahu u zasjedi odmah ustaše sa svojega mjesta, i potrèaše èim on podiže ruku svoju, i uðoše u grad i uzeše ga, i brzo zapališe grad ognjem.
20 And when the inhabitants of Gai looked round behind them, then they saw the smoke going up out of the city to heaven, and they were no longer able to flee this way or that way.
A kad se Gajani obazreše, a to dim od grada dizaše se do neba, i ne imahu kuda bježati ni tamo ni amo; a narod koji bježaše u pustinju povrati se na one koji ga tjerahu.
21 And Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambuscade had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city went up to heaven; and they turned and struck the men of Gai.
I Isus i sav Izrailj vidjevši da je zasjeda njihova uzela grad i gdje se diže dim od grada, vratiše se i udariše na Gajane.
22 And these came forth out of the city to meet them; and they were in the midst of the army, some [being] on this side, and some on that; and they struck them until there was not left of them one who survived and escaped.
A oni iz grada izidoše pred njih, te bijahu meðu Izrailjcima odovud i odonud, i pobiše ih tako da nijedan ne osta živ niti uteèe.
23 And they took the king of Gai alive, and brought him to Joshua.
A cara Gajskoga uhvatiše živa i dovedoše k Isusu.
24 And when the children of Israel had ceased slaying all that were in Gai, and in the fields, and in the mountain on the descent, from whence they pursued them [even] to the end, then Joshua returned to Gai, and struck it with the edge of the sword.
A kad pobiše Izrailjci sve Gajane u polju, u pustinji, kuda ih goniše, i padoše svi od oštroga maèa, te se istrijebiše, onda se vratiše svi Izrailjci u Gaj, i isjekoše što još bješe u njemu oštrijem maèem.
25 And they that fell in that day, men and women, were twelve thousand: [they killed] all the inhabitants of Gai.
A svijeh što izgiboše onaj dan, i ljudi i žena, bješe dvanaest tisuæa, samijeh Gajana.
I Isus ne spusti ruke svoje, koju bješe podigao sa zastavom, dokle ne pobiše sve stanovnike Gajske.
27 Beside the spoils that were in the city, all things which the children of Israel took as spoil for themselves according to the command of the Lord, as the Lord commanded Joshua.
Samo stoku i plijen iz grada onoga razgrabiše Izrailjci za se, kao što bješe Gospod zapovjedio Isusu.
28 And Joshua burnt the city with fire: he made it an uninhabited heap for ever, [even] to this day.
I Isus spali Gaj, i obrati ga u gomilu vjeènu, i u pustoš do današnjega dana.
29 And he hanged the king of Gai on a gallows; and he remained on the tree till evening: and when the sun went down, Joshua gave charge, and they took down his body from the tree, and cast it into a pit, and they set over him a heap of stones until this day.
A cara Gajskoga objesi na drvo i ostavi do veèera; a o zahodu sunèanom zapovijedi Isus te skidoše tijelo njegovo s drveta i baciše pred vrata gradska, i nabacaše na nj veliku gomilu kamenja, koja stoji i danas.
30 Then Joshua built an altar to the Lord God of Israel in mount Gaebal,
Tada Isus naèini oltar Gospodu Bogu Izrailjevu na gori Evalu,
31 as Moses the servant of the Lord commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the law of Moses, an altar of unhewn stones, on which iron had not been lifted up; and he offered there whole burnt offerings to the Lord, and a peace-offering.
Kao što bješe zapovjedio Mojsije sluga Gospodnji sinovima Izrailjevim, kao što piše u knjizi zakona Mojsijeva, oltar od cijeloga kamenja, preko kojega nije prevuèeno gvožðe; i prinesoše na njemu žrtve paljenice Gospodu, i prinesoše žrtve zahvalne.
32 And Joshua wrote upon the stones a copy of the law, even the law of Moses, before the children of Israel.
I prepisa ondje na kamenju zakon Mojsijev, koji je napisao sinovima Izrailjevijem.
33 And all Israel, and their elders, and their judges, and their scribes, passed on one side and on the other before the ark; and the priests and the Levites took up the ark of the covenant of the Lord; and the stranger and the native were there, who were half of them near mount Garizin, and half near mount Gaebal, as Moses the servant of the Lord commanded at first, to bless the people.
I sav Izrailj i starješine njegove i upravitelji i sudije njegove stadoše s obje strane kovèega, prema sveštenicima Levitima, koji nošahu kovèeg zavjeta Gospodnjega, i stranac i domorodac; polovina prema gori Garizinu a polovina prema gori Evalu, kao što bješe zapovjedio Mojsije sluga Gospodnji da blagoslovi narod Izrailjev najprije.
34 And afterwards Joshua read accordingly all the words of this law, the blessings and the curses, according to all things written in the law of Moses.
I potom proèita sve rijeèi zakona, blagoslov i prokletstvo, sve kako je napisano u knjizi zakona.
35 There was not a word of all that Moses charged Joshua, which Joshua read not in the ears of all the assembly of the children of Israel, the men, and the women, and the children, and the strangers that joined themselves to Israel.
Ne bi ni jedne rijeèi od svega što je Mojsije napisao, koje ne proèita Isus pred svijem zborom Izrailjevim, i ženama i djecom i strancima koji iðahu meðu njima.
