Joshua 9
1 And when all the Kings that were beyonde Iorden, in the mountaines and in the valleis, and by all the coastes of the great Sea ouer against Lebanon (as the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hiuites, and the Iebusites) heard thereof,
Pripetilo se je, ko so vsi kralji, ki so bili na tej strani Jordana, na hribih, v dolinah in po vseh pokrajinah vélikega morja nasproti Libanonu, Hetejci, Amoréjci, Kánaanci, Perizéjci, Hivéjci in Jebusejci, slišali o tem,
2 They gathered themselues together, to fight against Ioshua, and against Israel with one accord.
da so se zbrali skupaj, da se soglasno bojujejo z Józuetom in z Izraelom.
3 But the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Ioshua had done vnto Iericho, and to Ai.
Ko so prebivalci Gibeóna slišali, kaj je Józue storil Jerihi in Aju,
4 And therefore they wrought craftily: for they went, and fayned themselues ambassadours, and tooke olde sackes vpon their asses, and olde bottels for wine, both rent and bound vp,
so prebrisano storili in odšli ter se naredili kakor, da so bili predstavniki in na svoje osle dali stare vreče in vinske mehove, stare in raztrgane ter jih povezali
5 And olde shoes and clouted vpon their feete: also the raiment vpon them was old, and all their prouision of bread was dried, and mouled.
in stare čevlje, zakrpane na njihovih stopalih in stare obleke na njih in ves kruh njihove popotnice je bil suh in drobljiv.
6 So they came vnto Ioshua into the hoste to Gilgal, and said vnto him, and vnto the men of Israel, Wee be come from a farre countrey: nowe therefore make a league with vs.
Odšli so k Józuetu v tabor pri Gilgálu, in rekli njemu in Izraelovim možem: »Prišli smo iz daljne dežele, zdaj torej sklenite zavezo z nami.«
7 Then the men of Israel said vnto the Hiuites, It may be that thou dwellest among vs, how then can I make a league with thee?
Možje iz Izraela so rekli Hivéjcem: »Morda prebivate med nami in kako naj sklenemo zavezo z vami?«
8 And they said vnto Ioshua, We are thy seruants. Then Ioshua saide vnto them, Who are ye? and whence come ye?
Ti so Józuetu rekli: »Mi smo tvoji služabniki.« Józue jim je rekel: »Kdo ste? In od kod ste prišli?«
9 And they answered him, From a very farre countrey thy seruants are come for the Name of the Lord thy God: for we haue heard his fame and all that he hath done in Egypt,
Rekli so mu: »Iz zelo oddaljene dežele so prišli tvoji služabniki zaradi imena Gospoda, tvojega Boga, kajti slišali smo sloves o njem in vse, kar je storil v Egiptu
10 And all that he hath done to the two Kings of the Amorites that were beyonde Iorden, to Sihon King of Heshbon, and to Og King of Bashan, which were at Ashtaroth.
in vse, kar je storil dvema kraljema Amoréjcev, ki sta bila onkraj Jordana, hešbónskemu kralju Sihónu in bašánskemu kralju Ogu, ki je bil pri Aštarótu.
11 Wherefore our elders, and all the inhabitants of our countrey spake to vs, saying, Take vitailes with you for the iourney, and go to meete them, and say vnto them, Wee are your seruants: now therefore make ye a league with vs.
Zato so nam naši starešine in vsi prebivalci dežele govorili, rekoč: ›S seboj vzemite živež za potovanje in pojdite, da jih srečate in jim recite: ›Mi smo vaši služabniki, zato zdaj sklenite zavezo z nami.‹‹
12 This our bread we tooke it hote with vs for vittailes out of our houses, the day we departed to come vnto you: but nowe beholde, it is dried, and it is mouled.
Ta naš kruh smo vzeli še vročega za našo popotnico iz naših hiš na dan, ko smo šli, da gremo k vam, toda sedaj, glejte, je ta suh in drobljiv.
13 Also these bottels of wine which we filled, were newe, and lo, they be rent, and these our garments and our shooes are olde, by reason of the exceeding great iourney.
Ti vinski mehovi, ki smo jih napolnili, so bili novi, in glejte, raztrgani so. Te naše obleke in naši čevlji so postali stari zaradi razloga zelo dolgega potovanja.«
14 And the men accepted their tale concerning their vittailes, and counselled not with the mouth of the Lord.
Možje so vzeli od njihovega živeža, niso pa vprašali za nasvet pri Gospodovih ustih.
15 So Ioshua made peace with them, and made a league with them, that he would suffer them to liue: also the Princes of the Congregation sware vnto them.
Józue je z njimi sklenil mir in z njimi sklenil zavezo, da jih pusti žive, in princi skupnosti so jim prisegli.
16 But at the end of three dayes, after they had made a league with them, they heard that they were their neighbours, and that they dwelt among them.
Pripetilo pa se je ob koncu treh dni, potem ko so z njimi sklenili zavezo, da so slišali, da so bili njihovi sosedje in da so prebivali med njimi.
17 And the children of Israel tooke their iourney, and came vnto their cities the third day, and their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth and Kiriath-iearim.
Izraelovi otroci so odpotovali in na tretji dan prišli v njihova mesta. Torej njihova mesta so bila Gibeón, Kefíra, Beerót in Kirját Jearím.
18 And the children of Israel slewe them not, because the Princes of the Congregation had sworne vnto them by the Lord God of Israel: wherefore all the Congregation murmured against the Princes.
Izraelovi otroci jih niso udarili, ker so jim princi skupnosti prisegli pri Gospodu, Izraelovemu Bogu. In vsa skupnost je godrnjala zoper prince.
19 Then all the Princes said vnto all the Congregation, We haue sworne vnto them by the Lord God of Israel: nowe therefore we may not touch them.
Toda vsi princi so vsej skupnosti rekli: »Prisegli smo jim pri Gospodu, Izraelovem Bogu. Sedaj se jih torej ne smemo dotakniti.
20 But this we wil doe to them, and let them liue, least the wrath be vpon vs because of the othe which we sware vnto them.
To jim bomo storili. Celo žive jih bomo pustili, da ne bi bil nad nami bes zaradi prisege, ki smo jim jo prisegli.«
21 And the Princes sayd vnto them againe, Let them liue, but they shall hewe wood, and drawe water vnto all the Congregation, as the Princes appoint them.
Princi so jim rekli: »Naj živijo, toda naj bodo drvarji in prinašalci vode vsej skupnosti, « kakor so jim princi obljubili.
22 Ioshua then called them, and talked with them, and sayd, Wherefore haue ye beguiled vs, saying, We are very farre from you, when ye dwel among vs?
Józue jih je dal poklicati in jim spregovoril, rekoč: »Zakaj ste nas preslepili, rekoč: ›Mi smo zelo daleč od vas, ‹ ko prebivate med nami?
23 Now therefore ye are cursed, and there shall none of you be freed from being bondmen, and hewers of wood, and drawers of water for the house of my God.
Zdaj ste torej prekleti in nihče izmed vas naj ne bo prost pred tem, da bi bili sužnji, drvarji in prinašalci vode za hišo mojega Boga.«
24 And they answered Ioshua, and sayd, Because it was tolde thy seruants, that the Lord thy God had commanded his seruant Moses to giue you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land out of your sight, therefore we were exceeding sore afraid for our liues at the presence of you, and haue done this thing:
Józuetu so odgovorili in rekli: »Ker je bilo tvojim služabnikom zagotovo povedano to, kako je Gospod, tvoj Bog, zapovedal svojemu služabniku Mojzesu, da vam da vso deželo in da pred seboj uničite vse prebivalce dežele, zato smo bili zaradi vas boleče prestrašeni za svoja življenja in smo storili to stvar.
25 And beholde nowe, we are in thine hand: doe as it seemeth good and right in thine eyes to doe vnto vs.
In sedaj glej, mi smo v tvoji roki. Kakor se ti zdi dobro in pravilno, da nam storiš, stôri.«
26 Euen so did he vnto them, and deliuered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they slewe them not.
Tako jim je storil in jih osvobodil iz roke Izraelovih otrok, da jih niso pobili.
27 And Ioshua appointed them that same day to be hewers of wood, and drawers of water for the Congregation, and for the altar of the Lord vnto this day, in the place which he should chuse.
Józue jih je ta dan naredil za drvarje in prinašalce vode za skupnost in za Gospodov oltar, celo do tega dne, na kraju, ki bi ga izbral.
