Joshua 3
1 Early the following morning Joshua and the Israelites set out from Shittim and arrived at the banks of the Jordan. There they all spent the night before crossing over.
I usta Isus ujutru rano, i kretoše se od Sitima i doðoše do Jordana on i svi sinovi Izrailjevi, i noæiše ondje a ne prijeðoše.
2 Three days later those in charge of the people went through the camp
A poslije tri dana proðoše upravitelji kroz oko,
3 telling the people, “When you see the Ark of the Agreement of the Lord your God carried by the priests, the Levites, you must leave the place where you are and follow it.
I zapovjediše narodu govoreæi: kad vidite kovèeg zavjeta Gospoda Boga svojega i sveštenike Levite gdje ga nose, poðite i vi s mjesta svojega i idite za njim.
4 That way you'll know which way to go, since you haven't been here before. Leave about 3,000 feet between you and the Ark. Don't go near it!”
Ali neka bude daljina izmeðu vas i njega do dvije tisuæe lakata; bliže do njega ne primièite se, da biste poznali put kojim æete iæi, jer još nikada nijeste išli tijem putem.
5 Then Joshua said to the people, “Make sure you are pure, because tomorrow the Lord is going to do amazing things among you.”
I Isus reèe narodu: osveštajte se, jer æe sjutra uèiniti Gospod èudesa meðu vama.
6 Joshua spoke to the priests, “Pick up the Ark of the Agreement and go before the people.” So they picked up the Ark of the Agreement and went ahead of the people.
Potom reèe Isus sveštenicima govoreæi: uzmite kovèeg zavjetni, i idite pred narodom. I uzeše kovèeg zavjetni i poðoše pred narodom.
7 The Lord said to Joshua, “What I do today will confirm you as great leader in the sight of all the Israelites, so that they'll realize that just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you.
A Gospod reèe Isusu: danas te poèinjem uzvišavati pred svijem Izrailjem da poznadu da æu i s tobom biti kao što sam bio s Mojsijem.
8 Tell the priests carrying the Ark of the Agreement, ‘When you get to the edge of the Jordan, take a few steps into the water and then stop.’”
Zato ti zapovjedi sveštenicima koji nose kovèeg zavjetni, i reci: kad doðete na kraj vode Jordana, stanite u Jordanu.
9 So Joshua said to the Israelites, “Come here and listen to what the Lord your God has to say to you.
I reèe Isus sinovima Izrailjevim: pristupite ovamo, i èujte rijeèi Gospoda Boga svojega.
10 This is how you will know that the living God is right here with you,” he told them. “You can be sure that he will drive out before you the Canaanites, Hittites, Hivites, Perizzites, Girgashites, Amorites, and Jebusites.
Potom reèe Isus: po ovom æete poznati da je Bog živi posred vas, i da æe doista odagnati ispred vas Hananeje i Heteje i Jeveje i Ferezeje i Gergeseje i Amoreje i Jevuseje:
11 Just watch—the Ark of the Agreement of the Lord of all the earth will cross in front of you through the Jordan.
Evo, kovèeg zavjeta Gospoda svoj zemlji poæi æe pred vama preko Jordana.
12 Choose twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one per tribe.
Zato sada izberite dvanaest ljudi iz plemena Izrailjeva, po jednoga èovjeka iz svakoga plemena.
13 The moment the priests carrying the Ark step into the water the river will stop flowing and the water will pile up.”
I èim sveštenici noseæi kovèeg zavjeta Gospoda Gospoda svoj zemlji stanu nogama svojim u vodi Jordanskoj, voda æe se u Jordanu rastupiti, te æe voda koja teèe ozgo stati u gomilu.
14 So the people broke camp and set out to cross the Jordan, with the priests carrying the Ark ahead of them.
I kad se podiže narod iz šatora svojih da prijeðe preko Jordana, i sveštenici ponesoše kovèeg zavjetni pred narodom,
15 As it was harvest season, the Jordan was full of water, overflowing its banks. But at the very moment the priests carrying the Ark stepped into the water, the river stopped flowing.
I kad oni što nošahu kovèeg doðoše do Jordana, i sveštenici noseæi kovèeg okvasiše noge svoje na kraju vode jer je Jordan pun preko bregova svojih za cijelo vrijeme žetve
16 The water piled up a long way upstream, at the town of Adam, near Zarethan, while downstream no more water flowed into the Dead Sea. So the people crossed over, opposite Jericho.
Ustavi se voda što tecijaše ozgo, i stade u jednu gomilu vrlo nadaleko, od grada Adama, koji je kraj Zaretana; a što tecijaše dolje u more kraj polja, more slano, oteèe sasvijem; i narod prelažaše prema Jerihonu.
17 The priests carrying the Ark stood on the dried-up riverbed of the Jordan as all the people went by, staying there until everyone had crossed over on dry ground.
A sveštenici koji nošahu kovèeg zavjeta Gospodnjega stajahu na suhu usred Jordana tvrdo, i sav Izrailj iðaše po suhu, dokle sav narod ne prijeðe preko Jordana.
