< Joshua 4 >

1 And when all the people were wholy gone ouer Iorden, (after the Lord had spoken vnto Ioshua, saying,
Pripetilo se je, ko je vse ljudstvo dokončalo prehod čez Jordan, da je Gospod spregovoril Józuetu, rekoč:
2 Take you twelue me out of the people, out of euery tribe a man,
»Vzemi dvanajst mož izmed ljudstva, iz vsakega rodu moža
3 And command you them, saying, Take you hence out of the middes of Iorden, out of the place where the Priestes stoode in a readinesse, twelue stones, which ye shall take away with you, and leaue them in the lodging where you shall lodge this night)
in jim zapovej, rekoč: ›Iz srede Jordana, iz kraja, kjer so trdno stala stopala duhovnikov, vzemite dvanajst kamnov in odnesli jih boste s seboj prek [Jordana] in jih pustili na kraju za nastanitev, kjer boste to noč prenočili.‹«
4 Then Ioshua called the twelue men, whome he had prepared of the children of Israel, out of euery tribe a man,
Potem je Józue poklical dvanajst mož, ki jih je postavil izmed Izraelovih otrok, iz vsakega rodu moža
5 And Ioshua said vnto them, Go ouer before the Arke of the Lord your God, euen through the middes of Iorden, and take vp euery man of you a stone vpon his shoulder according vnto the nomber of the tribes of the children of Israel,
in Józue jim je rekel: »Pojdite čez pred skrinjo Gospoda, svojega Boga, v sredo Jordana in vsak izmed vas naj na svojo ramo vzame kamen, glede na število rodov Izraelovih otrok,
6 That this may bee a signe among you, that whe your children shall aske their fathers in time to come, saying, What meane you by these stones?
da bo to lahko znamenje med vami, da ko vaši otroci vprašajo svoje starše, v času, ki pride, rekoč: ›Kaj mislite s temi kamni?‹
7 Then ye may answere them, That the waters of Iorden were cut off before the Arke of the couenant of the Lord: for when it passed through Iorden, the waters of Iorden were cut off: therefore these stones are a memoriall vnto the children of Israel for euer.
Potem jim boste odgovorili: ›Da so bile vode Jordana odrezane pred skrinjo Gospodove zaveze. Ko je ta šla čez Jordan, so bile jordanske vode odsekane in ti kamni bodo Izraelovim otrokom v spomin na veke.‹«
8 Then ye children of Israel did euen so as Ioshua had commanded, and tooke vp twelue stones out of the mids of Iorden as ye Lord had said vnto Ioshua, according to the nomber of the tribes of the children of Israel, and caried them away with them vnto the lodging, and layd them down there.
Izraelovi otroci so storili, kakor je Józue zapovedal in iz srede Jordana vzeli dvanajst kamnov, kakor je Gospod govoril Józuetu, glede na število rodov Izraelovih otrok in jih s seboj odnesli preko [Jordana] na kraj, kjer so prenočili in tam so jih odložili.
9 And Ioshua set vp twelue stones in the middes of Iorden, in the place where the feete of the Priests, which bare the Arke of the couenant stood, and there haue they continued vnto this day.
Józue je dvanajst kamnov postavil v sredo Jordana, na kraj, kjer so stala stopala duhovnikov, ki so nosili skrinjo zaveze in tam so do današnjega dne.
10 So the Priests, which bare ye Arke, stoode in the middes of Iorden, vntill euery thing was finished that ye Lord had comanded Ioshua to say vnto the people, according to all that Moses charged Ioshua: then the people hasted and went ouer.
Kajti duhovniki, ki so nosili skrinjo, so stali v sredi Jordana, dokler ni bila končana vsaka stvar, ki jo je Gospod zapovedal Józuetu, da spregovori ljudstvu, glede na vse, kar je Mojzes zapovedal Józuetu in ljudstvo je pohitelo in šlo čez.
11 When all the people were cleane passed ouer, the Arke of the Lord went ouer also, and the Priests before the people.
Pripetilo se je, ko je vse ljudstvo dokončalo prehod čez [Jordan], da je šla čez skrinja in duhovniki v prisotnosti ljudstva.
12 And the sonnes of Reuben, and the sonnes of Gad, and halfe the tribe of Manasseh went ouer before the children of Israel armed, as Moses had charged them.
Rubenovi otroci, Gadovi otroci in polovica Manásejevega rodu so oboroženi šli čez pred Izraelovimi otroki, kakor jim je govoril Mojzes.
13 Euen fourty thousand prepared for warre, went before the Lord vnto battel, into ye plaine of Iericho.
Okoli štirideset tisoč pripravljenih za vojno je šlo čez pred Gospodom v bitko k ravninam Jerihe.
14 That day the Lord magnified Ioshua in the sight of all Israel, and they feared him, as they feared Moses all dayes of his life.
Na ta dan je Gospod poveličal Józueta v očeh vsega Izraela in oni so se ga bali, kakor so se bali Mojzesa, vse dni njegovega življenja.
15 And the Lord spake vnto Ioshua, saying,
Gospod je spregovoril Józuetu, rekoč:
16 Commande the Priests that beare ye Arke of the testimonie, to come vp out of Iorden.
»Zapovej duhovnikom, ki nosijo skrinjo pričevanja, da pridejo gor, ven iz Jordana.«
17 Ioshua therefore commanded the Priests, saying, Come ye vp out of Iorden.
Józue je torej zapovedal duhovnikom, rekoč: »Pridite gor iz Jordana.«
18 And when the Priests that bare the Arke of the couenant of ye Lord were come vp out of the middes of Iorden, and assoone as the soles of the Priests feete were set on the dry land, the waters of Iorde returned vnto their place, and flowed ouer all the bankes thereof, as they did before.
Pripetilo se je, ko so duhovniki, ki so nosili skrinjo Gospodove zaveze, prišli gor iz srede Jordana in so bili podplati duhovniških stopal dvignjeni na suho zemljo, da so se vode Jordana vrnile na svoj kraj in stekle čez vse svoje bregove, kakor so počele poprej.
19 So the people came vp out of Iorden the tenth day of the first moneth, and pitched in Gilgal, in the Eastside of Iericho.
In ljudstvo je prišlo gor iz Jordana na deseti dan prvega meseca ter se utaborilo v Gilgálu, na vzhodni meji Jerihe.
20 Also the twelue stones, which they tooke out of Iorden, did Ioshua pitch in Gilgal.
Tistih dvanajst kamnov, ki so jih vzeli iz Jordana, je Józue postavil v Gilgálu.
21 And he spake vnto ye childre of Israel, saying, When your children shall aske their fathers in time to come, and say, What meane these stones?
Izraelovim otrokom je spregovoril, rekoč: »Ko bodo vaši otroci vprašali svoje očete, v času, ki pride, rekoč: ›Kaj pomenijo ti kamni?‹
22 Then ye shall shew your children, and say, Israel came ouer this Iorden on dry land:
Potem boste svojim otrokom dali vedeti, rekoč: ›Izrael je po suhih tleh prešel preko tega Jordana.
23 For the Lord your God dryed vp ye waters of Iorden before you, vntill ye were gone ouer, as the Lord your God did the red Sea, which hee dryed vp before vs, till we were gone ouer,
Kajti Gospod, vaš Bog, je izpred vas posušil vode Jordana, dokler niste prešli čez, kakor je Gospod, vaš Bog, storil Rdečemu morju, ki ga je posušil pred nami, dokler nismo prešli čez,
24 That all the people of the worlde may know that the hand of the Lord is mightie, that ye might feare the Lord your God continually.
da bi vsa ljudstva zemlje lahko poznala Gospodovo roko, da je ta mogočna, da se boste lahko na veke bali Gospoda, svojega Boga.‹«
