Joshua 8
1 After, the Lord saide vnto Ioshua, Feare not, neither bee thou faint hearted: take all the men of warre with thee and arise, go vp to Ai: beholde, I haue giuen into thine hand the King of Ai, and his people, and his citie, and his land.
Gospod je rekel Józuetu: »Ne boj se niti ne bodi zaprepaden. S seboj vzemi vse bojno ljudstvo in se dvigni, pojdi gor do Aja. Glej, v tvojo roko sem izročil ajskega kralja, njegovo ljudstvo, njegovo mesto in njegovo deželo.
2 And thou shalt doe to Ai and to the King thereof, as thou didst vnto Iericho and to the King thereof: neuerthelesse the spoyle thereof and the cattell thereof shall ye take vnto you for a praye: thou shalt lye in wait against the citie on the backside thereof.
Aju in njegovemu kralju boš storil, kakor si storil Jerihi in njenemu kralju. Samo njegov plen in njegovo živino si boste zaplenili. Zadaj za mestom si postavi zasedo.«
3 Then Ioshua arose, and all the men of warre to goe vp against Ai: and Ioshua chose out thirtie thousand strong men, and valiant, and sent them away by night.
Tako je Józue vstal in vse bojno ljudstvo, da gredo gor zoper Aj. Józue je izbral trideset tisoč močnih junaških mož in jih ponoči odposlal.
4 And he commanded them, saying, Behold, yee shall lye in waite against the citie on the backeside of the citie: goe not very farre from the citie, but be ye all in a readinesse.
Zapovedal jim je, rekoč: »Glejte, prežali boste v zasedi zoper mesto, torej za mestom. Ne pojdite zelo daleč od mesta, temveč vsi bodite pripravljeni.
5 And I and all the people that are with me, will approche vnto the citie: and when they shall come out against vs, as they did at the first time, then will we flee before them.
Jaz in vse ljudstvo, ki je z menoj, se bomo približali mestu in zgodilo se bo, ko bodo prišli ven zoper nas, kakor prvič, da bomo pobegnili pred njimi,
6 For they wil come out after vs, till we haue brought them out of the citie: for they will say, They flee before vs as at the first time: so we will flee before them.
(kajti prišli bodo ven za nami), dokler jih ne bomo pritegnili iz mesta, kajti rekli bodo: ›Pred nami bežijo, kakor prvič.‹ Zato bomo pobegnili pred njimi.
7 Then you shall rise vp from lying in waite and destroy the citie: for the Lord your God wil deliuer it into your hand.
Potem boste vstali iz zasede in se polastili mesta, kajti Gospod, vaš Bog, ga bo izročil v vašo roko.
8 And when ye haue taken the citie, ye shall set it on fire: according to the commandement of the Lord shall ye do: behold, I haue charged you.
Zgodilo se bo, ko boste zavzeli mesto, da boste požgali mesto. Glede na Gospodovo zapoved boste storili. Poglejte, zapovedal sem vam.«
9 Ioshua then sent them foorth, and they went to lye in waite, and abode betweene Beth-el and Ai, on the Westside of Ai: but Ioshua lodged that night among the people.
Józue jih je torej poslal naprej in odšli so, da ležijo v zasedi in ostanejo med Betelom in Ajem, na zahodni strani Aja. Toda Józue je to noč prenočil med ljudstvom.
10 And Ioshua rose vp early in the morning, and nombred the people: and he and the Elders of Israel went vp before the people against Ai.
Józue je vstal zgodaj zjutraj, preštel ljudstvo in odšel gor, on in Izraelovi starešine, pred ljudstvo Aja.
11 Also all the men of warre that were with him went vp and drewe neere, and came against the citie, and pitched on the Northside of Ai: and there was a valley betweene them and Ai.
Vse ljudstvo, celo bojno ljudstvo, ki je bilo z njim, je odšlo gor, se približalo, prišlo pred mesto in se utaborilo na severni strani Aja. Torej tam je bila dolina med njimi in Ajem.
12 And hee tooke about fiue thousande men, and set them to lye in waite betweene Beth-el and Ai, on the Westside of the citie.
Vzel je okoli pet tisoč mož in jih postavil, da ležijo v zasedi med Betelom in Ajem, na zahodni strani mesta.
13 And the people set all the hoste that was on the Northside against the citie, and the liers in waite on the West, against the citie: and Ioshua went the same night into the mids of the valley.
Ko so postavili ljudstvo, torej vso vojsko, ki je bila na severu mesta in svoje prežavce v zasedi na zahodni strani mesta, je to noč Józue odšel v sredo doline.
14 And when the King of Ai sawe it, then the men of the citie hasted and rose vp earely, and went out against Israel to battell, hee and all his people at the time appointed, before the plaine: for he knew not that any lay in waite against him on the backeside of the citie.
Ko je kralj Aja to videl, se je pripetilo, da so pohiteli in zgodaj vstali in možje iz mesta so odšli ven zoper Izraela, da se bojujejo, on in vse njegovo ljudstvo, ob določenem času pred ravnino. Toda ni vedel, da so bili za mestom zoper njega prežavci v zasedi.
15 Then Ioshua and all Israel as beaten before them, fled by the way of the wildernes.
Józue in ves Izrael so se pretvarjali kakor bi bili poraženi pred njimi in pobegnili po poti divjine.
16 And all the people of the citie were called together, to pursue after them: and they pursued after Ioshua, and were drawen away out of the city,
Vse ljudstvo, ki je bilo v Aju, je bilo sklicano skupaj, da jih zasledujejo. Zasledovali so Józueta in bili so pritegnjeni proč iz mesta.
17 So that there was not a man left in Ai, nor in Beth-el, that went not out after Israel: and they left the citie open, and pursued after Israel.
V Aju ali v Betelu ni ostal niti mož, ki ne bi odšel ven za Izraelom in mesto so pustili odprto in sledili za Izraelom.
18 Then the Lord said vnto Ioshua, Stretch out the speare that is in thine hande, towarde Ai: for I wil giue it into thine hand: and Ioshua stretched out the speare that hee had in his hand, toward the citie.
Gospod je rekel Józuetu: »Iztegni sulico, ki je v tvoji roki, zoper Aj, kajti jaz ga bom dal v tvojo roko.« Józue je zoper mesto iztegnil sulico, ki jo je imel v svoji roki.
19 And they that lay in wait, arose quickly out of their place, and ranne as soone as he had stretched out his hand, and they entred into the citie, and tooke it, and hasted, and set the citie on fire.
Zaseda je hitro vstala iz svojega kraja in stekli so takoj, ko je iztegnil svojo roko. Vstopili so v mesto, ga zavzeli, pohiteli in mesto zažgali.
20 And the men of Ai looked behinde them, and sawe it: for loe, the smoke of the citie ascended vp to heauen, and they had no power to flee this way or that way: for the people that fled to the wildernesse, turned backe vpon the pursuers.
Ko so možje iz Aja pogledali za seboj, so videli in glej, dim iz mesta se je dvigoval proti nebu in niso imeli moči, da pobegnejo to pot ali tisto pot. Ljudstvo, ki je bežalo k divjini, se je obrnilo nazaj proti zasledovalcem.
21 When Ioshua and all Israel sawe that they that lay in waite, had taken the citie, and that the smoke of the citie mounted vp, then they turned againe and slewe the men of Ai.
Ko je Józue in ves Izrael videl, da je zaseda zavzela mesto in da se iz mesta dviguje dim, potem so se ponovno obrnili in usmrtili može iz Aja.
22 Also the other issued out of the citie against them: so were they in the middes of Israel, these being on the one side, and the rest on the other side: and they slewe them, so that they let none of them remaine nor escape.
In drugi so izšli iz mesta zoper njih. Tako so bili v sredi Izraela, nekateri na tej strani in nekateri na oni strani in udarili so jih tako, da nobenega izmed njih niso pustili ostati ali pobegniti.
23 And the King of Ai they tooke aliue, and brought him to Ioshua.
Kralja Aja so prijeli živega in ga privedli pred Józueta.
24 And when Israel had made an ende of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the fielde, that is, in the wildernesse, where they chased them, and when they were all fallen on the edge of the sworde, vntill they were consumed, all the Israelites returned vnto Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sworde.
Ko je Izrael naredil konec pobijanju vseh prebivalcev Aja na polju, v divjini, kjer so jih zasledovali in ko so vsi padli pod ostrino meča, dokler niso bili použiti, se je pripetilo, da so se vsi Izraelci vrnili v Aj in ga udarili z ostrino meča.
25 And all that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelue thousande, euen all the men of Ai.
Bilo je tako, da je bilo vseh, ki so ta dan padli, tako mož in žensk, dvanajst tisoč, torej vsi možje iz Aja.
26 For Ioshua drewe not his hande backe againe which he had stretched out with the speare, vntill hee had vtterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.
Kajti Józue svoje roke, s katero je iztegnil sulico, ni potegnil nazaj, dokler ni popolnoma uničil vseh prebivalcev Aja.
27 Onely the cattell and the spoyle of this citie, Israel tooke for a praye vnto themselues, according vnto the worde of the Lord, which hee commanded Ioshua.
Samo živino in ukradeno blago iz mesta si je Izrael vzel za plen, glede na Gospodovo besedo, ki jo je zapovedal Józuetu.
28 And Ioshua burnt Ai, and made it an heape for euer, and a wildernes vnto this day.
Józue je požgal Aj in ga naredil kup na veke, opustošenje do današnjega dne.
29 And the King of Ai hee hanged on a tree, vnto the euening. And as soone as the sunne was down, Ioshua commanded that they should take his carkeis downe from the tree, and cast it at the entring of ye gate of the city, and lay thereon a great heape of stones, that remaineth vnto this day.
Ajskega kralja je obesil na drevo do večera in takoj, ko je sonce zašlo, je Józue zapovedal, da njegovo truplo vzamejo dol iz drevesa in ga odvržejo pri vhodu velikih vrat mesta in nad njim naložijo velik kup kamenja, ki ostaja do tega dne.
30 Then Ioshua built an altar vnto the Lord God of Israel, in mount Ebal,
Potem je Józue zgradil oltar Gospodu, Izraelovemu Bogu, na gori Ebál,
31 As Moses the seruant of the Lord had commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the booke of the Lawe of Moses, an altar of whole stone, ouer which no man had lift an yron: and they offered thereon burnt offrings vnto the Lord, and sacrificed peace offerings.
kakor je Gospodov služabnik Mojzes zapovedal Izraelovim otrokom, kakor je to zapisano v knjigi Mojzesove postave, oltar iz celih kamnov, nad katere noben človek ni dvignil nobenega železa in na njem so darovali žgalne daritve Gospodu in žrtvovali mirovne daritve.
32 Also he wrote there vpon the stones, a rehearsall of the Lawe of Moses, which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel.
Na kamne je napisal prepis iz Mojzesove postave, ki jo je napisal v prisotnosti Izraelovih otrok.
33 And all Israel (and their Elders, and officers and their iudges stoode on this side of the Arke, and on that side, before the Priestes of the Leuites, which bare the Arke of the couenant of the Lord) as well the stranger, as he that is borne in the countrey: halfe of them were ouer against mount Gerizim, and halfe of them ouer against mount Ebal, as Moses the seruant of the Lord had commanded before, that they should blesse the people of Israel.
Ves Izrael, njihove starešine, častniki in njihovi sodniki, so stali na tej strani skrinje in na oni strani, pred duhovniki Lévijevci, ki so nosili skrinjo Gospodove zaveze, kakor tudi tujec, kakor ta, ki je bil rojen med njimi. Polovica izmed njih nasproti gore Garizím in polovica izmed njih nasproti gore Ebál, kakor je Gospodov služabnik Mojzes prej zapovedal, da bodo blagoslovili izraelsko ljudstvo.
34 Then afterwarde hee read all the wordes of the Lawe, the blessings and cursings, according to all that is written in the booke of the Lawe.
Potem je bral vse besede iz postave, blagoslove in prekletstva, glede na vse, kar je zapisano v knjigi postave.
35 There was not a worde of all that Moses had commanded, which Ioshua read not before all the Congregation of Israel, as well before the women and the children, as the stranger that was conuersant among them.
Ni bilo besede od vsega, kar je Mojzes zapovedal, česar Józue ni prebral pred vso Izraelovo skupnostjo, z ženskami, malčki in tujci, ki so bili seznanjeni med njimi.
