Numbers 32
1 And the children of Ruben and the children of Gad had a multitude of cattle, very great; and they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Galaad; and the place was a place for cattle:
Rubenovci i Gadovci imađahu mnogo, vrlo mnogo blaga. Opaze, međutim, da je zemlja jazerska i zemlja gileadska pogodna za stočarstvo.
2 and the children of Ruben and the children of Gad came, and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the princes of the congregation, saying,
Zato Gadovci i Rubenovci dođu k Mojsiju, svećeniku Eleazaru i glavarima zajednice pa reknu:
3 Ataroth, and Daebon, and Jazer, and Namra, and Esebon, and Eleale, and Sebama, and Nabau, and Baean,
“Atarot, Dibon, Jazer, Nimra, Hešbon, Eleale, Sebam, Nebo i Beon -
4 the land which the Lord has delivered up before the children of Israel, is pasture land, and your servants have cattle.
kraj što ga Jahve osvoji pred izraelskom zajednicom - kraj je pogodan za stočarstvo; a sluge tvoje bave se stočarstvom.
5 And they said, If we have found grace in your sight, let this land be given to your servants for a possession, and do not cause us to pass over Jordan.
Ako smo stekli blagonaklonost u tvojim očima”, nastave, “neka se ovaj kraj dade u posjed tvojim slugama. Ne šalji nas preko Jordana!”
6 And Moses said to the sons of Gad and the sons of Ruben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall you sit here?
Mojsije odgovori Gadovcima i Rubenovcima: “Zar da vaša braća idu u rat, a vi da ostanete ovdje?
7 And why do you pervert the minds of the children of Israel, that they should not cross over into the land, which the Lord gives them?
Zašto odvraćate srca Izraelaca da ne prijeđu u zemlju koju im je Jahve predao?
8 Did not your fathers thus, when I sent them from Cades Barne to spy out the land?
Tako su učinili i vaši očevi kad sam ih poslao iz Kadeš Barnee da izvide zemlju.
9 And they went up to the valley of the cluster, and spied the land, and turned aside the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land, which the Lord gave them.
Popeli su se do Eškola i razgledali zemlju, ali su onda ubili srčanost u Izraelcima da ne odu u zemlju koju im je Jahve dao.
10 And the Lord was very angry in that day, and sware, saying,
Onog dana Jahve planu gnjevom. Zakle se i reče:
11 Surely these men who came up out of Egypt from twenty years old and upward, who know good and evil, shall not see the land which I sware [to give] to Abraam and Isaac and Jacob, for they have not closely followed after me:
'Ljudi što su izišli iz Egipta, kojima je dvadeset ili više godina, jer me nisu vjerno slijedili, nikad neće vidjeti zemlju što sam je pod zakletvom obećao Abrahamu, Izaku i Jakovu!'
12 save Caleb the son of Jephonne, who was set apart, and Joshua the son of Naue, for they closely followed after the Lord.
Jahvu su jedino vjerno slijedili Kenižanin Kaleb, sin Jefuneov, i sin Nunov Jošua.
13 And the Lord was very angry with Israel; and for forty years he caused them to wander in the wilderness, until all the generation which did evil in the sight of the Lord was extinct.
Jahve je gnjevom planuo na Izraelce pa ih je pustinjom povlačio četrdeset godina, sve dok ne pomrije sav naraštaj što je u očima Jahvinim zlo postupio.
14 Behold, you are risen up in the room of your fathers, a combination of sinful men, to increase yet farther the fierce wrath of the Lord against Israel.
A sad vi - grešni naraštaj - ustajete namjesto svojih očeva da još povećate srdžbu Jahvinu na Izraela.
15 For you will turn away from him to desert him yet once more in the wilderness, and you will sin against this whole congregation.
Ako se od njega odvratite, on će još produžiti vaš boravak u pustinji; tako ćete upropastiti sav taj narod.”
16 And they came to him, and said, We will build here folds for our cattle, and cities for our possessions;
Onda se oni primaknu k njemu i reknu: “Mi bismo ovdje podigli torove za svoje blago i gradove za svoju nejačad,
17 and we will arm ourselves and go as an advanced guard before the children of Israel, until we shall have brought them into their place; and our possessions shall remain in walled cities because of the inhabitants of the land.
a sami ćemo pograbiti oružje i poći na čelu Izraelaca dok ih ne dovedemo na njihovo mjesto. Naša nejačad neka ostane - zbog stanovništva ove zemlje - u utvrđenim gradovima.
18 We will not return to our houses till the children of Israel shall have been distributed, each to his own inheritance.
Mi se svojim kućama nećemo vraćati sve dok svaki Izraelac ne zaposjedne svoju baštinu.
19 And we will not any longer inherit with them from the other side of Jordan and onwards, because we have our full inheritance on the side beyond Jordan eastward.
S njima nećemo dijeliti svoje posjede s onu stranu Jordana niti dalje, jer će nas zapasti naša baština s ovu stranu, na istok od Jordana.”
20 And Moses said to them, If you will do according to these words, if you will arm yourselves before the Lord for battle,
Mojsije im reče: “Ako tako uradite, ako pođete pred Jahvom u boj;
21 and every one of you will pass over Jordan fully armed before the Lord, until his enemy be destroyed from before his face,
ako vi svi naoružani prijeđete Jordan pred Jahvom dok on ne rastjera ispred sebe svoje neprijatelje:
22 and the land shall be subdued before the Lord, then afterwards you shall return, and be guiltless before the Lord, and as regards Israel; and this land shall be to you for a possession before the Lord.
tada, kad zemlja bude pokorena Jahvi, vi ćete se moći vratiti. Tako ćete biti oslobođeni odgovornosti prema Jahvi i prema Izraelu, a ova će zemlja postati pred Jahvom vaše vlasništvo.
23 But if you will not do so, you will sin against the Lord; and you shall know your sin, when afflictions shall come upon you.
Ali ako tako ne uradite, sagriješit ćete protiv Jahve i znajte da će vas stići kazna za vaš grijeh.
24 And you shall build for yourselves cities for your store, and folds for your cattle; and you shall do that which proceeds out of your mouth.
Sazidajte, dakle, gradove za svoju nejačad i torove za svoju stoku, ali izvršite što ste obećali.”
25 And the sons of Ruben and the sons of Gad spoke to Moses, saying, Your servants will do as our lord commands.
Gadovci i Rubenovci odgovore Mojsiju: “Tvoje će sluge učiniti kako gospodar naš nalaže.
26 Our store, and our wives, and all our cattle shall be in the cities of Galaad.
Naša nejačad, naše žene, naša stoka i sve naše blago neka ostanu ondje u gileadskim gradovima,
27 But your servants will go over all armed and set in order before the Lord to battle, as [our] lord says.
a tvoje sluge, svi koji su za boj sposobni, poći će pred Jahvom u boj, kako naš gospodar nalaže.”
28 And Moses appointed to them [for judges] Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Naue, and the chiefs of the families of the tribes of Israel.
Tada za njih Mojsije izda nalog svećeniku Eleazaru, Nunovu sinu Jošui i glavarima obitelji izraelskih plemena.
29 And Moses said to them, If the sons of Ruben and the sons of Gad will pass over Jordan with you, every one armed for war before the Lord, and you shall subdue the land before you, then you shall give to them the land of Galaad for a possession.
I reče im Mojsije: “Ako Gadovci i Rubenovci, svi oni koji nose oružje, s vama prijeđu Jordan da se bore pred Jahvom i zemlja bude pokorena vama, onda im dajte gileadsku zemlju u vlasništvo.
30 But if they will not pass over armed with you to war before the Lord, then shall you cause to pass over their possessions and their wives and their cattle before you into the land of Chanaan, and they shall inherit with you in the land of Chanaan.
Ali ako ne prijeđu naoružani s vama, neka dobiju baštinu među vama u zemlji kanaanskoj.”
31 And the sons of Ruben and the sons of Gad answered, saying, Whatsoever the Lord says to his servants, that will we do.
Nato odgovore Gadovci i Rubenovci: “Što je god Jahve rekao tvojim slugama, to ćemo učiniti.
32 We will go over armed before the Lord into the land of Chanaan, and you shall give us our inheritance beyond Jordan.
Mi ćemo naoružani prijeći pred Jahvom u zemlju kanaansku, ali neka nam bude posjed naše baštine s ove strane Jordana.”
33 And Moses gave to them, even to the sons of Gad and the sons of Ruben, and to the half tribe of Manasse of the sons of Joseph, the kingdom of Seon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Basan, the land and its cities with its coasts, the cities of the land round about.
I tako njima - Gadovcima, Rubenovcima i polovici plemena Manašea, sina Josipova - dadne kraljevstvo amorejskoga kralja Sihona i kraljevstvo bašanskoga kralja Oga, zemlju s gradovima u njihovim granicama, gradove okolne zemlje.
34 And the sons of Gad built Daebon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
Gadovci sagrade: Dibon, Atarot i Aroer,
35 and Sophar, and Jazer, and they set them up,
Atrot Šofan, Jazer, Jogbohu,
36 and Namram, and Baetharan, strong cities, and folds for sheep.
Bet Nimru i Bet Haran, utvrđene gradove i torove za stada.
37 And the sons of Ruben built Esebon, and Eleale, and Kariatham,
Rubenovci sagrade: Hešbon, Eleale, Kirjatajim,
38 and Beelmeon, surrounded [with walls], and Sebama; and they called the names of the cities which they built, after their own names.
Nebo, Baal Meon - nazivi su izmijenjeni - i Šibmu. Oni prozovu svojim imenima gradove koje su oni podigli.
39 And a son of Machir the son of Manasse went to Galaad, and took it, and destroyed the Amorite who lived in it.
Sinovi Makira, sina Manašeova, odu u Gilead, osvoje ga i protjeraju Amorejce koji bijahu ondje.
40 And Moses gave Galaad to Machir the son of Manasse, and he lived there.
Mojsije preda Gilead Manašeovu sinu Makiru, i on se u njemu nastani.
41 And Jair the [son] of Manasse went and took their villages, and called them the villages of Jair.
A Manašeov sin Jair ode te zauzme njihova sela pa ih prozva “Jairova sela”.
42 And Nabau went and took Caath and her villages, and called them Naboth after his name.
Potom ode Nobah i zauzme Kenat i njegova područja te ga nazove svojim imenom “Nobah”.
