Joshua 8
1 And Jehovah said to Joshua, Fear not, neither be dismayed. Take with thee all the people of war, and arise, go up to Ai. See, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, 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 thou shalt do to Ai and to its king as thou didst to Jericho and to its king; only, the spoil thereof and the cattle thereof shall ye take as prey for yourselves. Set an ambush against the city behind it.
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 arose, and all the people of war, to go up to Ai. And Joshua chose thirty thousand valiant men, and 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 commanded them, saying, See, ye shall be in ambush against the city, behind the city: go not very far from the city, and be all of you 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 And I and all the people that are with me will approach to the city; and it shall come to pass when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee 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 they will come out after us till we have drawn them from the city; for they will say, They flee before us, as at the first; and we will flee before them.
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 ye shall rise up from the ambush and take possession of the city; and Jehovah your God will deliver it into your hand.
Tada vi izidite iz zasjede i istjerajte iz grada što bude ostalo. Jer æe vam ga dati Gospod Bog vaš u ruke.
8 And it shall be when ye have taken the city, that ye shall set the city on fire; according to the word of Jehovah shall ye do. See, I have commanded you.
A kad uzmete grad, zapalite ga ognjem; po rijeèi Gospodnjoj uèinite. Eto, zapovjedio sam vam.
9 And Joshua sent them forth; and they went to lie in ambush, and abode between Bethel and Ai, on the west of Ai. And Joshua lodged that night among the people.
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 early in the morning, and inspected the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.
A ujutru usta Isus rano i prebroji narod, pa poðe sa starješinama Izrailjevijem pred narodom na Gaj.
11 And all the people of war that were with him went up, and drew near, and came before the city; and they encamped on the north of Ai; and the valley was between them and Ai.
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 Now he had taken about five thousand men, and set them in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west of the city.
I uze oko pet tisuæa ljudi, i namjesti ih u zasjedu izmeðu Vetilja i Gaja, sa zapada gradu Gaju.
13 And when they had set the people, the whole camp on the north of the city, and their ambush on the west of the city, Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley.
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 Ai saw it, that the men of the city hasted and rose early, and went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at the appointed place before the plain. But he knew not that there was an ambush 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 all Israel let themselves be beaten before them; and they fled by the way of the wilderness.
Tada Isus i sav Izrailj, kao da ih pobiše, nagoše bježati k pustinji.
16 And all the people that were in the city were called together to pursue after them; and they pursued after Joshua, and were drawn away 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 And not a man remained in Ai and Bethel that went not out 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 Jehovah said to Joshua, Stretch out the javelin that is in thy hand toward Ai; for I will give it into thy hand. And Joshua stretched out the javelin that he had in his hand toward the city.
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 the ambush arose quickly from their place, and they ran when he stretched out his hand, and came into the city, and took it, and hasted and set the city on 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 the men of Ai turned and saw, and behold, the smoke of the city went up to heaven, and they had no power to flee this way or that way; and the people that fled to the wilderness turned upon the pursuers.
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 When Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city went up, they turned again, and slew the men of Ai.
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 the others went out of the city against them; so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side; and they smote them, until they let none of them escape or flee away.
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 the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua.
A cara Gajskoga uhvatiše živa i dovedoše k Isusu.
24 And it came to pass when Israel had ended slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness wherein they had chased them, and they had all fallen by the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all Israel returned to Ai, and smote 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 so it was, that all who fell that day, men as well as women, were twelve thousand, all the people of Ai.
A svijeh što izgiboše onaj dan, i ljudi i žena, bješe dvanaest tisuæa, samijeh Gajana.
26 And Joshua did not draw back his hand, which he had stretched out with the javelin, until they had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.
I Isus ne spusti ruke svoje, koju bješe podigao sa zastavom, dokle ne pobiše sve stanovnike Gajske.
27 Only, the cattle and the spoil of the city Israel took as prey to themselves, according to the word of Jehovah which he had commanded Joshua.
Samo stoku i plijen iz grada onoga razgrabiše Izrailjci za se, kao što bješe Gospod zapovjedio Isusu.
28 And Joshua burned Ai, and made it an everlasting heap of desolation to this day.
I Isus spali Gaj, i obrati ga u gomilu vjeènu, i u pustoš do današnjega dana.
29 And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until the evening; and at the going down of the sun Joshua commanded, and they took his carcase down from the tree, and threw it down at the entrance of the gate of the city, and raised upon it a great heap of stones, [which remains] to 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 Jehovah the God of Israel, in mount Ebal,
Tada Isus naèini oltar Gospodu Bogu Izrailjevu na gori Evalu,
31 as Moses the servant of Jehovah had commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of whole stones, over which iron had not been lifted up. And they offered up burnt-offerings on it to Jehovah, and sacrificed peace-offerings.
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 he wrote there on the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he had written 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 officers and judges, stood on this side and on that side of the ark before the priests the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, as well the stranger as the home-born [Israelite]; half of them toward mount Gerizim, and the other half of them toward mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of Jehovah had commanded, that they should bless the people of Israel, in the beginning.
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 he read all the words of the law, the blessing and the curse, according to all that is written in the book of the law.
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 had commanded which Joshua read not before the whole congregation of Israel, and the women, and the children, and the strangers that lived among them.
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.
