Joshua 23
1 And when a long time was passed, after that the Lord had given peace to Israel, all the nations round about being subdued, and Josue being now old, and far advanced in years:
A poslije mnogo vremena, pošto Gospod umiri Izrailja od svijeh neprijatelja njegovijeh unaokolo, i Isus bi star i vremenit,
2 Josue called for all Israel, and for the elders, and for the princes, and for the judges, and for the masters, and said to them: I am old, and far 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 see all that the Lord your God hath done to all the nations round about, how he himself hath 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 And now since he hath divided to you by lot all the land, from the east of the Jordan unto the great sea, and many nations yet remain:
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 The Lord your God will destroy them, and take them away from before your face, and you shall possess the land as he hath promised 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 Only take courage, and be careful to observe all things that are written in the book of the law of Moses: and turn not aside from them neither to the right hand nor 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 Lest after that you are come in among the Gentiles, who will remain among you, you should swear by the name of their gods, and serve them, and adore 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 cleave ye unto the Lord your God: as you have done until this day.
Nego se držite Gospoda Boga svojega, kao što ste èinili do danas.
9 And then the Lord God will take away before your eyes nations that are great and very strong, and no man shall be able to resist you.
Zato je Gospod odagnao ispred vas narode velike i jake, i niko se nije održao pred vama do danas.
10 One of you shall chase a thousand men of the enemies: because the Lord your God himself will fight for you, as he hath promised.
Jedan èovjek izmeðu vas goniæe tisuæu, jer Gospod Bog vaš vojuje za vas, kao što vam je rekao.
11 This only take care of with all diligence, that you love the Lord your God.
Pazite dakle dobro da ljubite Gospoda Boga svojega.
12 But if you will embrace the errors of these nations that dwell among you, and make marriages with them, and join friendships:
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 ye for a certainty that the Lord your God will not destroy them before your face, but they shall be a pit and a snare in your way, and a stumblingblock at your side, and stakes in your eyes, till he take you away and destroy you from off this excellent land, which he hath 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 Behold this day I am going into the way of all the earth, and you shall know with all your mind that of all the words which the Lord promised to perform for you, not one hath 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 Therefore as he hath fulfilled in deed, what he promised, and all things prosperous have come: so Will he bring upon you all the evils he hath threatened, till he take you away and destroy you from off this excellent land, which he hath 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 shall have transgressed the covenant of the Lord your God, which he hath made with you, and shall have served strange gods, and adored them: then shall the indignation of the Lord rise up quickly and speedily against you, and you shall be taken away from this excellent land, which he hath delivered to you.
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.
