< Joshua 22 >
1 Then Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh,
Potem je Józue poklical Rubenovce, Gádovce in polovico Manásejevega rodu
2 and said unto them, Ye have kept all that Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded you, and have hearkened to my voice in all that I commanded you.
ter jim rekel: »Držali ste se vsega, kar vam je Gospodov služabnik Mojzes zapovedal in moj glas ste ubogali v vsem, kar sem vam zapovedal.
3 Ye have not left your brethren these many days unto this day, and ye have kept the charge of the commandment of Jehovah your God.
Te mnoge dni do tega dne niste zapustili svojih bratov, temveč ste skrbeli za zapoved Gospoda, svojega Boga.
4 And now Jehovah your God hath given rest to your brethren, as he said unto them; and now return, and get you unto your tents, unto the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of Jehovah gave you beyond the Jordan.
Sedaj je Gospod, vaš Bog, dal počitek vašim bratom, kakor jim je obljubil, zato se sedaj vrnite in se odpravite v svoje šotore in v deželo svoje posesti, ki vam jo je dal Gospodov služabnik Mojzes na drugi strani Jordana.
5 Only, take great heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded you, to love Jehovah your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.
Toda marljivo pazite, da izpolnite zapoved in postavo, ki vam jo je zapovedal Gospodov služabnik Mojzes, da ljubite Gospoda, svojega Boga in da hodite po vseh njegovih poteh in se držite njegovih zapovedi in da se mu trdno pridružite in mu služite z vsem svojim srcem in z vso svojo dušo.«
6 And Joshua blessed them, and sent them away; and they went to their tents.
Tako jih je Józue blagoslovil in jih poslal proč; in odšli so k svojim šotorom.
7 And to half the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given [inheritance] in Bashan, and to the other half thereof had Joshua given among their brethren on this side the Jordan westward. And when Joshua sent them away to their tents, he blessed them also,
Torej eni polovici Manásejevega rodu je Mojzes dal posest v Bašánu, toda drugi njegovi polovici je Józue dal [posest] med njihovimi brati na tej strani Jordana proti zahodu. Ko je Józue tudi njih poslal proč, v njihove šotore, tedaj jih je blagoslovil
8 and spoke to them, saying, Return unto your tents with much wealth and with very much cattle, with silver, and with gold, and with copper, and with iron, and with clothing, in very great quantity; divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren.
in jim govoril, rekoč: »V svoje šotore se vrnite z mnogimi bogastvi in z zelo veliko živine, s srebrom in z zlatom, z bronom in z železom in z zelo mnogimi oblačili. Plen svojih sovražnikov razdelite s svojimi brati.«
9 And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel out of Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go to the country of Gilead, into the land of their possession, of which they had become possessed, according to the word of Jehovah through Moses.
Rubenovi otroci in Gadovi otroci in polovica Manásejevega rodu se je vrnila in odpotovala od Izraelovih otrok iz Šila, ki je v kánaanski deželi, da gredo v deželo Gileád, k zemlji njihove posesti, ki so jo vzeli v last, glede na Gospodovo besedo, po Mojzesovi roki.
10 And they came to the districts of the Jordan that are in the land of Canaan; and the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh built there an altar by the Jordan, an altar of grand appearance.
Ko so prišli k mejam Jordana, ki so v kánaanski deželi, so Rubenovi otroci in Gadovi otroci in polovica Manásejevega rodu tam zgradili oltar pri Jordanu, na pogled velik oltar.
11 And the children of Israel heard say, Behold, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh have built an altar over against the land of Canaan, in the districts of the Jordan, separately from the children of Israel.
Izraelovi otroci so slišali reči: »Glejte, Rubenovi otroci, Gadovi otroci in polovica Manásejevega rodu so zgradili oltar nasproti kánaanski deželi, na mejah Jordana, ob prehodu Izraelovih otrok.«
12 And when the children of Israel heard [of it], the whole assembly of the children of Israel gathered together at Shiloh, to go up against them to war.
Ko so Izraelovi otroci slišali o tem, se je celotna skupnost Izraelovih otrok skupaj zbrala pri Šilu, da gredo gor, da se vojskujejo proti njim.
13 And the children of Israel sent to the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest,
Izraelovi otroci so k Rubenovim otrokom, h Gadovim otrokom in k polovici Manásejevega rodu v deželo Gileád poslali Pinhása, sina duhovnika Eleazarja
14 and with him ten princes, of each father's house a prince, out of all the tribes of Israel; and each of them was head of a father's house, of the thousands of Israel.
in z njim deset princev, iz vsake vodilne hiše princa, po vseh Izraelovih rodovih in vsak je bil poglavar svoje očetovske hiše med tisočerimi Izraelovimi.
15 And they came to the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead, and spoke with them, saying,
Prišli so k Rubenovim otrokom, h Gadovim otrokom in k polovici Manásejevega rodu, v deželo Gileád in z njimi govorili, rekoč:
16 Thus saith the whole assembly of Jehovah: What wickedness is this which ye have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following Jehovah, in that ye have built yourselves an altar, rebelling this day against Jehovah?
»Tako govori celotna Gospodova skupnost: ›Kakšen prekršek je to, kar ste zagrešili zoper Izraelovega Boga, da se ta dan odvračate od sledenja Gospodu, v tem, da ste si zgradili oltar, da bi se ta dan lahko uprli zoper Gospoda?
17 Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us? from which we are not cleansed until this day, although there was a plague in the assembly of Jehovah.
Mar je krivičnost Peórja premajhna za nas, od katere do tega dne nismo očiščeni, čeprav je bila nadloga v Gospodovi skupnosti,
18 And ye turn away this day from following Jehovah; and it will be, that since ye rebel this day against Jehovah, to-morrow he will be wroth with the whole assembly of Israel.
temveč da ste se ta dan morali odvrniti od sledenja Gospodu? Zgodilo se bo, glede na to, da ste se ta dan uprli zoper Gospoda, da bo jutri ogorčen nad celotno Izraelovo skupnostjo.
19 Notwithstanding, if the land of your possession is unclean, come over into the land of the possession of Jehovah, where Jehovah's tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession amongst us; but rebel not against Jehovah, and rebel not against us, in building for yourselves an altar besides the altar of Jehovah our God.
Vendar če je dežela vaše posesti nečista, potem prečkajte v deželo Gospodove posesti, v kateri prebiva Gospodovo šotorsko svetišče in vzemite posest med nami, toda ne uprite se zoper Gospoda niti se ne uprite zoper nas v tem, da si gradite oltar poleg oltarja Gospoda, našega Boga.
20 Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the accursed thing? and wrath fell on all the assembly of Israel, and he perished not alone in his iniquity.
Mar ni Zerahov sin Ahán zagrešil prekršek v prekleti stvari in je bes padel na vso Izraelovo skupnost? In ta mož v svoji krivičnosti ni umrl sam.‹«
21 And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh answered and said to the heads of the thousands of Israel,
Potem so Rubenovi otroci, Gadovi otroci in polovica Manásejevega rodu odgovorili in rekli poglavarjem tisočerih Izraelovih:
22 The God of gods, Jehovah, the God of gods, Jehovah, he knoweth, and Israel he shall know [it]; if it is in rebellion, or if in trespass against Jehovah, — save us not this day!
» Gospod, Bog bogov, Gospod, Bog bogov, on ve in Izrael bo vedel. Če je to v uporu ali če je v prestopku zoper Gospoda (ta dan nas ne reši),
23 — that we have built for ourselves an altar to turn from following Jehovah, and if it is to offer up burnt-offering and oblation on it, and if to offer peace-offerings thereon, let Jehovah himself require it [from us];
da smo si zgradili oltar, da se obrnemo od sledenja Gospodu, ali če na njem darujemo žgalno daritev ali jedilno daritev ali če na njem žrtvujejo mirovne daritve, naj sam Gospod to zahteva
24 and if we have not done it from fear of this thing, saying, In future your children will speak to our children, saying, What have ye to do with Jehovah the God of Israel?
in če nismo tega raje storili zaradi strahu pred to stvarjo, rekoč: ›V času, ki pride, bodo vaši otroci lahko govorili našim otrokom, rekoč: ›Kaj imate z Gospodom, Izraelovim Bogom?
25 Jehovah hath made the Jordan a border between us and you, ye children of Reuben and children of Gad, ye have no portion in Jehovah! And so shall your children make our children cease from fearing Jehovah.
Kajti Gospod je naredil Jordan za mejo med nami in vami, vi Rubenovi otroci in Gadovi otroci, vi nimate deleža v Gospodu.‹‹ Tako bodo vaši otroci naredili našim otrokom, da se prenehajo bati Gospoda.
26 And we said, Let us now set to work to build an altar, not for burnt-offering, nor for sacrifice,
Zato smo rekli: ›Pripravimo se, da si zgradimo oltar, ne za žgalno daritev niti za klavno daritev,
27 but to be a witness between us and you, and between our generations after us, that we might do service to Jehovah before him with our burnt-offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace-offerings; that your children may not say to our children in future, Ye have no portion in Jehovah.
temveč, da bo ta lahko priča med nami in vami in našimi rodovi za nami, da bomo lahko pred njim opravljali Gospodovo službo s svojimi žgalnimi daritvami, svojimi klavnimi daritvami in s svojimi mirovnimi daritvami, ‹ da v času, ki pride, vaši otroci ne bodo mogli reči našim otrokom: ›Vi nimate deleža v Gospodu.‹
28 And we said, If it shall be that in future they so say to us and to our generations, we will say, Behold the pattern of the altar of Jehovah which our fathers made, not for burnt-offering, nor for sacrifice, but as a witness between us and you.
Zato smo rekli, da bo tako, ko bodo tako rekli nam ali našim rodovom, v času, ki pride, da bomo lahko ponovno rekli: ›Glejte vzorec Gospodovega oltarja, ki so ga naredili naši očetje, niti za žgalne daritve, niti za klavne daritve, temveč je ta priča med vami in nami.‹
29 Far be it from us that we should rebel against Jehovah, and turn this day from following Jehovah, in building an altar for burnt-offering, for oblation, and for sacrifice, besides the altar of Jehovah our God that is before his tabernacle.
Bog ne daj, da bi se uprli zoper Gospoda in se ta dan obrnili od sledenja Gospodu, da zgradimo oltar za žgalne daritve, za jedilne daritve ali za klavne daritve, poleg oltarja Gospoda, našega Boga, ki je pred njegovim šotorskim svetiščem.«
30 And when Phinehas the priest and the princes of the assembly and the heads of the thousands of Israel that were with him heard the words that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spoke, it was good in their sight.
Ko so duhovnik Pinhás in princi skupnosti in poglavarji tisočerih Izraelovih, ki so bili z njim, slišali besede, ki so jih Rubenovi otroci, Gadovi otroci in Manásejevi otroci govorili, jim je to ugajalo.
31 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, This day we perceive that Jehovah is among us, because ye have not committed this trespass against Jehovah: now have ye delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of Jehovah.
In Pinhás, sin duhovnika Eleazarja, je rekel Rubenovim otrokom, Gadovim otrokom in Manásejevim otrokom: »Ta dan smo zaznali, da je med nami Gospod, zato ker tega prekrška niste zagrešili zoper Gospoda. Sedaj ste Izraelove otroke osvobodili iz Gospodove roke.«
32 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the princes, returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, to the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them word again.
Pinhás, sin duhovnika Eleazarja in princi so se vrnili od Rubenovih otrok in od Gadovih otrok iz dežele Gileád v kánaansko deželo, k Izraelovim otrokom in jim ponovno prinesli besedo.
33 And the thing was good in the sight of the children of Israel, and the children of Israel blessed God, and no more said that they would go up in warfare against them, to destroy the land in which the children of Reuben and the children of Gad dwelt.
Stvar je ugajala Izraelovim otrokom in Izraelovi otroci so blagoslovili Boga in niso nameravali iti gor zoper njih v bitko, da bi uničili deželo, v kateri so prebivali otroci Rubena in Gada.
34 And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad gave a name to the altar; for it is a witness between us that Jehovah is God.
Rubenovi otroci in Gadovi otroci pa so oltar imenovali Ed, kajti ta bo priča med nami, da Gospod je Bog.
