Joshua 24
1 And Josue gathered together all the tribes of Israel in Sichem, and called for the ancients, and the princes, and the judges, and the masters: and they stood in the sight of the Lord:
Józue je vse Izraelove rodove zbral v Sihem in dal poklicati po Izraelove starešine, po njihove poglavarje, po njihove sodnike in po njihove častnike in postavili so se pred Bogom.
2 And he spoke thus to the people: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: Your fathers dwelt of old on the other side of the river, Thare the father of Abraham, and Nachor: and they served strange gods.
Józue je vsemu ljudstvu rekel: »Tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog: ›Vaši očetje so v starih časih prebivali na drugi strani vèleréke, torej Terah, Abrahamov oče in Nahórjev oče in služili drugim bogovom.
3 And I took your father Abraham from the borders of Mesopotamia: and brought him into the land of Chanaan: and I multiplied his seed,
Vzel sem vašega očeta Abrahama iz druge strani vèleréke in ga vodil skozi vso kánaansko deželo in pomnožil njegovo seme in mu dal Izaka.
4 And gave him Isaac: and to him again I gave Jacob and Esau. And I gave to Esau mount Seir for his possession: but Jacob and his children went down into Egypt.
Izaku sem dal Jakoba in Ezava. Ezavu sem dal gorovje Seír, da ga vzame v last, toda Jakob in njegovi otroci so odšli dol v Egipt.
5 And I sent Moses and Aaron, and I struck Egypt with many signs and wonders.
Poslal sem tudi Mojzesa in Arona in Egipt udaril z nadlogami, glede na to, kar sem storil med njimi in potem sem vas privedel ven.
6 And I brought you and your fathers out of Egypt, and you came to the sea: and the Egyptians pursued your fathers with chariots and horsemen, as far as the Red Sea.
Vaše očete sem privedel iz Egipta in prišli ste k morju. Egipčani so vaše očete zasledovali z bojnimi vozovi in konjeniki do Rdečega morja.
7 And the children of Israel cried to the Lord: and he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them. Your eyes saw all that I did in Egypt, and you dwelt in the wilderness a long time:
Ko so klicali h Gospodu, je med vas in Egipčane postavil temo in nadnje privedel morje in jih pokril. Vaše oči so videle, kar sem storil v Egiptu in v divjini ste prebivali dolgo obdobje.
8 And I brought you into the land of the Amorrhite, who dwelt beyond the Jordan. And when they fought against you, I delivered them into your hands, and you possessed their land, and slew them.
Privedel sem vas v deželo Amoréjcev, ki so prebivali na drugi strani Jordana. Borili so se z vami in izročil sem jih v vašo roko, da bi lahko vzeli v last njihovo deželo in uničil sem jih izpred vas.
9 And Balac son of Sephor king of Moab arose and fought against Israel. And he sent and called for Balaam son of Beor, to curse you:
Potem je Balák, Cipórjev sin, moábski kralj, vstal in se bojeval zoper Izrael in poslal ter poklical Beórjevega sina Bileáma, da vas prekolne,
10 And I would not hear him, but on the contrary I blessed you by him, and I delivered you out of his hand.
toda nisem hotel prisluhniti Bileámu, zato vas je mirno blagoslovil. Tako sem vas osvobodil iz njegove roke.
11 And you passed over the Jordan, and you came to Jericho. And the men of that city fought against you, the Amorrhite, and the Pherezite, and the Chanaanite, and the Hethite, and the Gergesite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite: and I delivered them into your hands.
Odšli ste čez Jordan in prišli do Jerihe. Zoper vas so se borili možje iz Jerihe [in] Amoréjci, Perizéjci, Kánaanci, Hetejci, Girgašéjci, Hivéjci in Jebusejci in izročil sem jih v vašo roko.
12 And I sent before you hornets: and I drove them out from their places, the two kings of the Amorrhites, not with thy sword nor with thy bow.
Pred vami sem poslal sršena, ki jih je pregnal izpred vas, celó dva kralja Amoréjcev, toda ne s tvojim mečem niti ne s tvojim lokom.
13 And I gave you a land, in which you had not laboured, and cities to dwell in which you built not, vineyards and oliveyards, which you planted not.
Dal sem vam deželo, za katero se niste trudili in mesta, ki jih niste zgradili, in vi prebivate v njih in jeste od vinogradov in oljčnih nasadov, ki jih niste sadili.‹
14 Now therefore fear the Lord, and serve him with a perfect and most sincere heart: and put away the gods which your fathers served in Mesopotamia and in Egypt, and serve the Lord.
Zdaj se torej bojte Gospoda in mu služite v iskrenosti in resnici in odstranite bogove, ki so jim služili vaši očetje na drugi strani vèleréke in v Egiptu in služite Gospodu.
15 But if it seem evil to you to serve the Lord, you have your choice: choose this day that which pleaseth you, whom you would rather serve, whether the gods which your fathers served in Mesopotamia, or the gods of the Amorrhites, in whose land you dwell: but as for me and my house we will serve the Lord.
Če pa se vam to zdi zlo, da služite Gospodu, ta dan izberite komu boste služili: ali bogovom, ki so jim služili vaši očetje, ki so bili na drugi strani vèleréke, ali bogovom Amoréjcev, v čigar deželi prebivate. Toda kar se tiče mene in moje hiše, mi bomo služili Gospodu.«
16 And the people answered, and said: God forbid we should leave the Lord, and serve strange gods.
Ljudstvo je odgovorilo in reklo: »Bog ne daj, da bi zapustili Gospoda, da služimo drugim bogovom,
17 The Lord our God he brought us and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage: and did very great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way by which we journeyed, and among all the people through whom we passed.
kajti Gospod, naš Bog, on je ta, ki je nas in naše očete privedel gor iz egiptovske dežele, iz hiše sužnosti in ki je storil ta velika znamenja v našem pogledu in nas varoval po vsej poti, po kateri smo šli, in med vsem ljudstvom, skozi katero smo šli.
18 And he hath cast out all the nations, the Amorrhite the inhabitant of the land into which we are come. Therefore we will serve the Lord, for he is our God.
Gospod je izpred nas pregnal vse ljudstvo, celo Amoréjce, ki prebivajo v deželi. Zato bomo tudi služili Gospodu, kajti on je naš Bog.«
19 And Josue said to the people: You will not be able to serve the Lord: for he is a holy God, and mighty and jealous, and will not forgive your wickedness and sins.
Józue je rekel ljudstvu: »Ne morete služiti Gospodu, kajti on je svet Bog; ljubosumen Bog je; ne bo odpustil vaših prestopkov niti vaših grehov.
20 If you leave the Lord, and serve strange gods, he will turn, and will afflict you, and will destroy you after all the good he hath done you.
Če zapustite Gospoda in služite tujim bogovom, potem se bo obrnil in vas prizadel in vas použil, potem ko vam je storil dobro.«
21 And the people said to Josue: No, it shall not be so as thou sayest, but we will serve the Lord.
Ljudstvo je Józuetu reklo: »Ne, temveč bomo služili Gospodu.«
22 And Josue said to the people: You are witnesses, that you yourselves have chosen you the Lord to serve him. And they answered: We are witnesses.
Józue je ljudstvu rekel: »Vi ste priče zoper vas same, da ste izbrali Gospoda, da mu služite.« Rekli so: » Mi smo priče.«
23 Now therefore, said he, put away strange gods from among you, and incline your hearts to the Lord the God of Israel.
»Zdaj torej odstranite, « je rekel, »tuje bogove, ki so med vami in svoje srce nagnite h Gospodu, Izraelovemu Bogu.«
24 And the people said to Josue: We will serve the Lord our God, and we will be obedient to his commandments.
Ljudstvo je Józuetu reklo: » Gospodu, našemu Bogu, bomo služili in njegov glas bomo ubogali.«
25 Josue therefore on that day made a covenant, and set before the people commandments and judgments in Sichem.
Tako je Józue tega dne sklenil zavezo z ljudstvom in jim postavil zakon in odredbo v Sihemu.
26 And he wrote all these things in the volume of the law of the Lord: and he took a great stone, and set it under the oak that was in the sanctuary of the Lord.
Józue je te besede zapisal v knjigo Božje postave in vzel velik kamen in ga tam postavil pod hrast, ki je bil poleg Gospodovega svetišča.
27 And he said to all the people: Behold this stone shall be a testimony unto you, that it hath heard all the words of the Lord, which he hath spoken to you: lest perhaps hereafter you will deny it, and lie to the Lord your God.
Józue je vsemu ljudstvu rekel: »Glejte, ta kamen nam bo priča, kajti ta je slišal vse Gospodove besede, ki nam jih je govoril. Ta vam bo zato priča, da ne bi zatajili svojega Boga.«
28 And he sent the people away every one to their own possession.
Tako je Józue ljudstvu pustil oditi, vsakemu možu v svojo dediščino.
29 And after these things Josue the son of Null the servant of the Lord died, being a hundred and ten years old:
Po vseh teh stvareh se je pripetilo, da je Nunov sin Józue, Gospodov služabnik, umrl, star sto deset let.
30 And they buried him in the border of his possession in Thamnathsare, which is situate in mount Ephraim, on the north side of mount Gaas.
Pokopali so ga na meji njegove dediščine, v Timnát Serahu, ki je na gori Efrájim, na severni strani Gáaševega hriba.
31 And Israel served the Lord all the days of Josue, and of the ancients that lived a long time after Josue, and that had known all the works of the Lord which he had done in Israel.
Izrael je služil Gospodu vse Józuetove dni in vse dni starešin, ki so preživeli Józueta in ki so poznali vsa Gospodova dela, ki jih je storil za Izrael.
32 And the bones of Joseph which the children of Israel had taken out of Egypt, they buried in Sichem, in that part of the field which Jacob had bought of the sons of Hemor the father of Sichem, for a hundred young ewes, and it was in the possession of the sons of Joseph.
Jožefove kosti, ki so jih Izraelovi otroci prinesli gor iz Egipta, so pokopali v Sihemu, na parceli zemlje, ki jo je Jakob kupil od sinov Hamórja, Sihemovega očeta, za sto koščkov srebra in ta je postala dediščina Jožefovih otrok.
33 Eleazar also the son of Aaron died: and they buried him in Gabaath that belongeth to Phinees his son, which was given him in mount Ephraim.
Aronov sin Eleazar je umrl in pokopali so ga na hribu, ki pripada njegovemu sinu Pinhásu, ki mu je bil dan na gori Efrájim.
