Joshua 8
1 And the Lord said to Josue: Fear not, nor be thou dismayed: take with thee all the multitude of fighting men, arise and go up to the town of Hai. Behold I have delivered into thy hand the king thereof, and the people, and the city, and the land.
Иза тога рече Господ Исусу: Не бој се и не плаши се; узми са собом сав народ што је за бој, па устани и иди на Гај; ево предадох ти у руке цара гајског и народ његов и град његов и земљу његову.
2 And thou shalt do to the city of Hai, and to the king thereof, as thou hast done to Jericho, and to the king thereof: but the spoils and all the cattle you shall take for a prey to yourselves: lay an ambush for the city behind it.
И учини с Гајем и царем његовим како си учинио с Јерихоном и његовим царем; али плен из њега и стоку његову разграбите за се. Намести заседу иза града.
3 And Josue arose, and all the army of the fighting men with him, to go up against Hai: and he sent thirty thousand chosen valiant men in the night,
И уста Исус и сав народ што беше за бој, да иду на Гај; и изабра Исус тридесет хиљада јунака, и посла их ноћу;
4 And commanded them, saying: Lay an ambush behind the city: and go not very far from it: and be ye all ready.
И заповеди им говорећи: Гледајте ви који ћете бити у заседи иза града, да не будете врло далеко од града, него будите сви готови.
5 But I and the rest of the multitude which is with me; will approach on the contrary side against the city. And when they shall come out against us, we will flee, and turn our backs, as we did before:
А ја и сав народ што је са мном примакнућемо се ка граду; па кад они изађу пред нас, ми ћемо као и пре побећи испред њих.
6 Till they pursuing us be drawn farther from the city: for they will think that we flee as before.
Те ће они поћи за нама докле их не одвојимо од града, јер ће рећи: Беже испред нас као и пре. И ми ћемо бежати испред њих.
7 And whilst we are fleeing, and they pursuing, you shall arise out of the ambush, and shall destroy the city: and the Lord your God will deliver it into our hands.
Тада ви изађите из заседе и истерајте из града шта буде остало. Јер ће вам га дати Господ Бог ваш у руке.
8 And when you shall have taken it, set it on fire, and you shall do all things so as I have commanded.
А кад узмете град, запалите га огњем; по речи Господњој учините. Ето, заповедио сам вам.
9 And he sent them away, and they went on to the place of the ambush, and abode between Bethel and Hai, on the west side of the city of Hai. But Josue stayed that night in the midst of the people,
Тако их посла Исус, и они одоше у заседу, и стадоше између Ветиља и Гаја, са запада Гају; а Исус преноћи ону ноћ међу народом.
10 And rising early in the morning, he mustered his soldiers, and went up with the ancients in the front of the army environed with the aid of the fighting men.
А ујутру уста Исус рано и преброја народ, па пође са старешинама Израиљевим пред народом на Гај.
11 And when they were come, and were gone up over against the city, they stood on the north side of the city, between which and them there was a valley in the midst.
И сва војска што беше с њим пође и примакавши се дођоше према граду и стадоше у логор са севера Гају; а беше долина између њих и Гаја.
12 And he had chosen five thousand men, and set them to lie in ambush between Bethel and Hai, on the west side of the same city:
И узе око пет хиљада људи, и намести их у заседу између Ветиља и Гаја, са запада граду Гају.
13 But all the rest of the army went in battle array on the north side, so that the last of that multitude reached to the west side of the city. So Josue went that night, and stood in the midst of the valley.
И кад се намести сав народ, сва војска, што беше са севера граду и што беше у заседи са запада граду, изађе Исус ону ноћ усред долине.
14 And when the king of Hai saw this, he made haste in the morning, and went out with all the army of the city, and set it in battle array toward the desert, not knowing that there lay an ambush behind his back.
И кад то виде цар гајски, људи у граду похиташе и уранише; и изађоше онај час у поље пред Израиља у бој, цар и сав народ његов. А не знаше да има заседа за њим, иза града.
15 But Josue, and all Israel gave back, making as if they were afraid, and fleeing by the way of the wilderness.
Тада Исус и сав Израиљ, као да их побише, нагоше бежати к пустињи.
16 But they shouting together, and encouraging one another, pursued them. And when they were come from the city,
А они сазваше сав народ што беше у граду да их терају. И тераше Исуса, и одвојише се од свог града.
17 And not one remained in the city of Hai and of Bethel, that did not pursue after Israel, leaving the towns open as they had rushed out,
И не оста нико у Гају ни у Ветиљу да не пође за Израиљем; и оставише град отворен, и тераху Израиља.
18 The Lord said to Josue: Lift up the shield that is in thy hand, towards the city of Hai, for I will deliver it to thee.
Тада рече Господ Исусу: Дигни заставу што ти је у руци према Гају, јер ћу ти га дати у руке. И подиже Исус заставу што му беше у руци према граду.
19 And when he had lifted up his shield towards the city, the ambush that lay hid, rose up immediately: and going to the city, took it and set it on fire.
А они што беху у заседи одмах усташе са свог места, и потрчаше чим он подиже руку своју, и уђоше у град и узеше га, и брзо запалише град огњем.
20 And the men of the city, that pursued after Josue, looking back and seeing the smoke of the city rise up to heaven, had no more power to flee this way or that way: especially as they that had counterfeited flight, and were going toward the wilderness, turned back most valiantly against them that pursued.
А кад се Гајани обазреше, а то дим од града дизаше се до неба, и не имаху куда бежати ни тамо ни амо; а народ који бежаше у пустињу поврати се на оне који га тераху.
21 So Josue and all Israel seeing that the city was taken, and that the smoke of the city rose up, returned and slew the men of Hai.
И Исус и сав Израиљ видевши да је заседа њихова узела град и где се диже дим од града, вратише се и ударише на Гајане.
22 And they also that had taken and set the city on fire, issuing out of the city to meet their own men, began to cut off the enemies who were surrounded by them. So that the enemies being cut off on both sides, not one of so great a multitude was saved.
А они из града изађоше пред њих, те беху међу Израиљцима одовуд и одонуд, и побише их тако да ниједан не оста жив нити утече.
23 And they took the king of the city of Hai alive, and brought him to Josue.
А цара гајског ухватише живог и доведоше к Исусу.
24 So all being slain that had pursued after Israel in his flight to the wilderness, and tailing by the sword in the same place, the children of Israel returned and laid waste the city.
А кад побише Израиљци све Гајане у пољу, у пустињи, куда их гонише, и падоше сви од оштрог мача, те се истребише, онда се вратише сви Израиљци у Гај, и исекоше шта још беше у њему оштрим мачем.
25 And the number of them that fell that day, both of men and women, was twelve thousand persons all of the city of Hai.
А свих што изгибоше онај дан, и људи и жена, беше дванаест хиљада, самих Гајана.
26 But Josue drew not back his hand, which he had stretched out on high, holding the shield, till all the inhabitants of Hai were slain.
И Исус не спусти руку своју, коју беше подигао са заставом, док не побише све становнике гајске.
27 And the children of Israel divided among them the cattle and the prey of the city, as the Lord had commanded Josue.
Само стоку и плен из града оног разграбише Израиљци за се, као што беше Господ заповедио Исусу.
28 And he burned the city, and made it a heap for ever:
И Исус спали Гај, и обрати га у гомилу вечну, и у пустош до данашњег дана.
29 And he hung the king thereof on a gibbet until the evening and the going down of the sun. Then Josue commanded, and they took down his carcass from the gibbet: and threw it in the very entrance of the city, heaping upon it a great heap of stones, which remaineth until this present day.
А цара гајског обеси на дрво и остави до вечера; а о заходу сунчаном заповеди Исус те скидоше тело његово с дрвета и бацише пред врата градска, и набацаше на њ велику гомилу камења, која стоји и данас.
30 Then Josue built an altar to the Lord the God of Israel in mount Hebal,
Тада Исус начини олтар Господу Богу Израиљевом на гори Евалу,
31 As Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded the children of Israel, and it is written in the book of the law of Moses: an altar of unhewn stones which iron had not touched: and he offered upon it holocausts to the Lord, and immolated victims of peace offerings.
Као што беше заповедио Мојсије слуга Господњи синовима Израиљевим, као што пише у књизи закона Мојсијевог, олтар од целог камења, преко ког није превучено гвожђе; и принесоше на њему жртве паљенице Господу, и принесоше жртве захвалне.
32 And he wrote upon stones the Deuteronomy of the law of Moses, which he had ordered before the children of Israel.
И преписа онде на камењу закон Мојсијев, који је написао синовима Израиљевим.
33 And all the people, and the ancients, and the princes and judges stood on both sides of the ark, before the priests that carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, both the stranger and he that was born among them, half of them by mount Garizim, and half by mount Hebal, as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded. And first he blessed the people of Israel.
И сав Израиљ и старешине његове и управитељи и судије његове стадоше с обе стране ковчега, према свештеницима Левитима, који ношаху ковчег завета Господњег, и странац и домородац; половина према гори Гаризину а половина према гори Евалу, као што беше заповедио Мојсије слуга Господњи да благослови народ Израиљев најпре.
34 After this he read all the words of the blessing and the cursing and all things that were written in the hook of the law.
И потом прочита све речи закона, благослов и проклетство, све како је написано у књизи закона.
35 He left out nothing of those things which Moses had commanded, but he repeated all before all the people of Israel, with the women and children and strangers that dwelt among them.
Не би ни једне речи од свега што је Мојсије написао, које не прочита Исус пред свим збором Израиљевим, и женама и децом и странцима који иђаху међу њима.
